Chapter 49: Carmodo
Carmodo, the country of technology and healthcare,
This is a country made entirely of steel and cliffs, located in the northwest of the continent due to the change of the earth's crust in the many canyons, people use steel to build a staggered urban area in the canyons, all kinds of aging steam pipes from time to time white steam,
The intersecting metal staircase connects the entire city and also blocks the sunlight overhead, and the lower level of the city is shrouded in darkness almost all year round, and can only use crystal light sources to produce dim light.
Although the country may look rusty and shabby on the outside, it is bustling and lively, with vibrant inhabitants and diverse cultural forms due to its enlightened blending.
For many years, the country has been in the main position of the human world's scientific and technological export, steam technology, medicine, chemistry, and even alchemy have made great strides because of its open-door policy.
However, the indulgent progress of science and industry still plagues the people of Carmodo.
The pollution caused by the development of chemistry and industry has seriously affected the health of the population, the extinction of a large number of surrounding organisms, the lack of clarification of water sources, the haze with chemical components, the pollution of the origin of the world by alchemy, human experiments, and the highly toxic wastewater full of chemicals accumulated in the sewers of the lower areas.
Even so, people managed to survive in this land, and their culture flourished, in short, it was a land of hope and despair, survival and destruction.
Downtown, small bar
Carmodo's lower town is damp because of the year-round lack of contact with sunlight and the steam spewed out from time to time by the surrounding pipelines, and the skin will have a slimy feeling all year round, which is very uncomfortable, the bartender wiped the glass, thinking that he would close the store in a few hours to rest, and there are not many people in the store at the moment, and he is happy to be idle.
"One more drink" The bartender frowned, and following the prestige, a drunken man in a greasy white coat was lying on one end of the bar, raising one hand, asking for a drink from himself,
The bartender has seen a lot of these people, aspiring scientists, doctors, alchemists, all of whom have a similar image very programmed, these crazy people are doing crazy experiments to pollute the environment every day, and make a mess of Carmodo.
The bartender didn't care about the life or death of this kind of person at all, and he didn't care how much the person in front of him drank, so he directly took out an empty open cup, threw a round ice cube inside, poured in Carmodo's specialty spirits, added a few drops of honey, hung up half a slice of lemon, and slid it to the end on the bar, and was caught by the man in the white coat steadily, and took a big sip,
The liquor with honey was particularly palatable with the ice cubes, and the man let out a satisfied sigh, there were not many people in the shop, and the bartender had nothing to do, and began to observe the man closest to him.
In addition to the dirty white coat, the man's hair is also messy, plus the beard that has not been taken care of for a long time, and the gold-rimmed glasses that have been half broken, the whole person looks bad.
Seeing the image of the man clearly, the bartender has begun to worry about whether the man in front of him can pay for the wine, and suddenly regrets that he didn't collect the money first, and secretly decided that he must charge this kind of person in the future, saving trouble,
The man was drunk and in a trance, and several gangster-looking people behind him saw it, and made a look at each other, several people got up, came to the man's side, and surrounded the man in the middle, and one of them stretched out his hand to take it into the man's arms,
Just when the bartender was hesitating to remind the man, the small door of the bar opened suddenly, and a curly-haired man with a cowboy hat pushed the door and walked in, the man looked around, saw the white coat surrounded by the gangsters, raised his eyebrows, took off the hat and threw it on the hanger at the door, walked straight to the white coat and sat down, the bar door behind him opened again, followed by a little girl, supporting a pale teenager,
The person who came was the Quercus group, they had been in Carmodo for two days, during which they had been looking for a doctor friend in the man's mouth, but the man had too few clues, and it was really a needle in the bottom of the sea to find a person without clues in such a big country.
It wasn't until not long ago that the man accidentally discovered a set of exclusive logos for a thousand towns, and then he took a clue and found here, Quercus Lin's symptoms are getting worse and worse, and now every breath is accompanied by great pain,
Yingying helped Zhulin to the bar to rest, the man sat next to the white coat, and the gangsters behind him originally saw that someone was a thief and was ready to leave, who knew that it was just a raunchy uncle when he looked closely, with a seven or eight-year-old girl and a waste man who looked like he was dying, and in the face of several old, weak, sick and disabled people in front of him, he suddenly came to confidence,
"Hey, uncle, don't be nosy, it's good for yourself," said a bald boy in his twenties to the man in what he thought was as fierce and cold as he could,
Nothing happened next, just the five people groaned and were thrown into the trash bin outside the bar by Yingying, unable to move.
This commotion attracted the attention of the white coat, and he looked around in confusion, his eyes moved extremely slowly because of the effect of alcohol, and he swept until the man stopped, burped, wiped his face with his hands twice, reacted for a while, and seemed to recognize the man,
"Gram, Loze, aren't you, aren't you dead, am I, Hiccup, I'm dead too, come, let's have a drink and celebrate the reunion in hell" The white coat held up the empty glass that had no drink, and made a gesture of drinking it all, with a satisfied expression on his face,
"I'm really sorry to disappoint you, although there is no difference, but we are indeed not dead yet, and this is not hell" The man took the empty wine glass handed over by the white coat and put it aside,
"I have something important to find you this time, there is something wrong with my body, it is getting more and more difficult to maintain, it needs to be adjusted, and the young man lying there is an item" The man pointed to the forest and said to the white coat,
The white coat pushed the half-broken gold wire glasses stuck in the corner of his eye, and became interested in the man's words, looked at the half-dead Zhulin lying there, and then looked back at the man, waiting for his next step,
"There was something wrong when the soul fused, and now it is fused with that thing, in my impression, you are the only one in the entire continent who has a way to save him, so I brought him here to find you, don't worry, I understand the rules, there will be no shortage of you, but as soon as possible, he looks like time is running out"
"Yes, you know that my price is not low" The white coat looked at the man, and his momentum rose for a while, his eyes were like torches, and he couldn't see the slightest drunkenness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
