Chapter 60: The Slums

"It's strange, why don't you talk anymore, didn't you have a good chat just now?"

Salin waited next to the sedan for a moment, only to be so quiet tonight that only the distant waves and the roar of machinery echoed in the air, and he had to look up and wave to the can that had jumped into the tree, signaling it to come back to him.

"Woody, don't stop talking, now how much do you think I can get if I go to you?"

Shalin shrugged his shoulders helplessly, feeling that these men from the Kickboxing Club were too easy to make a fuss, didn't they just show off their fighting skills a little, how could they be like they had never been intimidated?

All he could do was pat the can's head and turn his attention back to the two muscular men and take away their guns.

No matter how kind he was, he pulled up the man who was sitting on the ground with only three millimeters of hair from the ground, and helped Sanhao sort out the messy collar and looked at his eyes sincerely.

"I'm serious with you. ”

"I'm not happy with the offer you two have just discussed, so I'm going to give you another chance to give me another count, and maybe you'll have a chance to get out of this woods alive. ”

Woody, who fell to the ground, rolled over and retched, and Sanmao, who stood stiffly under the tree, looked at the smoking bullet holes in the trunk behind him.

Then, he suddenly clutched the broken bridge of his nose that was bleeding, trembled and took out his card and mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed the phone number.

"Boss, boss, we saw a man from the East Coast from the East Rizhi Country, amazing, very powerful!"

"How powerful do you want me to describe it?"

"Fast, it's fast, he's so fast!"

"I don't know what's going on, I don't even know what happened now, boss, he must be the one you need!"

"Okay, I understand, I'll do it right away!"

Sanhao put down his phone, and instantly seemed to have forgotten what Shalin had done to him, and suddenly changed his attitude one hundred and eighty degrees, and stretched out his right hand.

"Boy, you're very good, come with us!"

"My name is Sanhao, his name is Woody, I have confirmed with our boss just now, he is willing to pay 15,000 golden tickets to invite you to our club to box!"

"At our Fight Club, as long as you have enough strength, you can get everything you want!"

Sanhao saw that Shalin didn't react, and suddenly realized that there was some nosebleed on his hand when he wiped his face, so he quickly took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his hands, and stretched out his hand in front of Shalin.

Shalin looked at his hand, and after quickly converting the golden ticket and the Euroscoin in his mind, and after confirming that fifteen thousand golden tickets was indeed a large number, he clapped his hand for three millimeters.

"Deal. ”

"But it's just a signing fee, and the specific appearance fee will have to be calculated separately. ”

"Of course!"

With a smile, Sanhao greeted Sarin into the car, and Woody covered his mouth and climbed back into the car, and the black sedan sped through the dark woods, and when they left the woods, they slowly entered a path with no street lights.

The hidden road is covered with gravel and discarded steel bars, and the atmosphere outside the car is a little cold and eerie under the white headlights.

In the sedan that gradually leveled off, Cans looked around curiously, and Sarin also looked in the direction of travel, and at the end of the sight, a spherical giant city as bright as day was shrouded in faint dark clouds.

The colorful city is hazy with the light of the water, bringing a sense of massive, illusory and blurred impact.

That's the megacity of the fabled free city-state......

With his head on his lean, looking at the new world in front of him full of thought, Woody sat in the co-pilot seat, finally adjusted his mentality, and chatted with Yisarin.

"What's your name?"

"What did you do in Dongli Zhiguo before, I see that you are very skilled in using guns, who did you do for before?"

"My name is poison gas and I do things for the boss. ”

Shalin said ambiguously that he used to work for the 'boss', but instead of doing bodyguard work, he did quality inspection-related work, and he was an engineer.

It's just that his past identity has become farther and farther away from him, and he looks at the rapidly receding night scene outside the window, and many pictures flicker in front of him.

"I see, no wonder you look weak, your strength and speed are not ordinary people. ”

"How many levels of muscle-strengthening surgery have you had?"

Woody asked casually, because in the free city-state, it is common for these people in special professions to undergo some degree of human modification, some people may be to better survive in this world, and some people are for some special purpose.

However, there are certain risks associated with human enhancement surgery, and it also costs a lot of money, so not everyone will go for enhancement surgery.

Faced with such an 'ordinary' Shalin, Woody naturally thought that he must have undergone a transformation.

Muscle strengthening surgery may be essential for some special professions.

"Muscle-strengthening surgery?"

Shalin withdrew his gaze from the window in some surprise, taking the name literally.

For Sarin from the Assr Alliance, which is extremely backward in technology, it was the first time he had heard of this new term, and any research related to human modification was strictly forbidden in the Asr Alliance, so it was normal not to know.

But Shalin remembered the change in Omina's attitude when she learned where she was from, and it was better for him not to reveal that he was from the Asr region, so it was best for him not to let others know that he didn't know anything.

What's even more interesting is that Salyn doesn't know if his special constitution is artificially modified by similar enhancement surgery.

Of course, if he could see the changes in his body at the time of the mutation, and understand that his body changes directly from the genetic code, he would not continue to think about such simple questions.

Because in that case, he might think about whether he can reproduce with other humans a little more now.

"It's none of your business, mind your own business. ”

"Tsk. ”

Woody looked away in displeasure and stopped talking.

Outside the futuristic car, the scenery changes in the dark night, and in the past few tens of minutes, they finally enter the area infested with humans from the shoreline.

Salin looked out the window with his head on his back, this was another world he had never touched, and he, like everyone else, had been full of all kinds of beautiful fantasies about the free city-state since he was a child.

It was only when they passed through the faint streetlights that the sedan suddenly entered a world of sparse rain.

The house that first appeared in front of Sharin's eyes, surrounded by an iron fence on the left side of the road, instantly reminded him of what human society looked like hundreds of years ago.

The slums of the free city-state?

No, no kidding, okay?

Sarin looked strangely at the neighborhood inside the barbed fence, the lights used to house and prove inhabitation emitted a faint glow at the end of the barbed fence, and there was a lifeless presence in the rain.

Many of these dilapidated houses are built in simple iron frames, some of which are stacked with bricks, and they are constantly stacked upwards in a limited space, providing more people who live here with shelter from the elements.

I don't know how many years of accumulation, just exposed to this side of Shalin's eyes, the dense and dangerous buildings have been built to the ninth floor.

And the area behind the barbed fence is so large that even sarin can't see the end at a glance.

Countless ropes fluttering in the air were hung with old clothes, wires thicker than an arm crawled on the ground, clogged sewers, sewage and mud blocked the paths, and humans in old sweatshirts walked in cages like zombies, as if even being alive was a heavy burden.

Not everyone is alive like the walking dead, and in a slightly neater area, there are a few vicious men collecting protection money.

Inside the pink-painted container, the unclothed woman leaned against the bed, smoking a long cigarette in the spring breeze and waving to the men.

As the car drove down the road, Sarin also saw from the side that in the three-dimensional maze of residential buildings, a group of residents with machetes were frantically chasing and killing another oil-headed man with a gun.

Those scenes that often appear in police movies are actually happening in front of my eyes like this at this moment.

It's unbelievable!

This is one of the two most developed regions on the planet!

Noticing that Sharin was staring out the window in surprise, Woody's face unconsciously showed a hint of pride and contempt for outsiders.

"There was originally a small village that existed near the bad city for more than 900 years, but as the bad city grew stronger and stronger, more and more bankrupts were cleared out of the bad city, so now this is a special area set aside by the old city lord for the poor and the homeless. ”

"It's also the worst security place in the whole bad city, because no security robots will enter the slums. ”

"Because the previous city lord sent a security robot in, the iron cans were dismantled in an instant, and the people inside were sold as scrap metal, haha!"

Sanhao also inserted himself into the topic of Shalin and Woody, laughing as he spoke, but Shalin didn't think what he said was funny, and quietly withdrew his gaze.

"Bankrupt people will move in here? I thought it was a stowaway's paradise......"

"Of course not, the bad city has always had an ambiguous attitude towards capable people, as long as you can afford to rent a house, the bad city doesn't care if you have a legal identity. ”

"But the cost of living in the bad city is very high, oh, you don't have to worry about this, as long as you sign a contract with the club, you can live in an apartment provided by the boss, there is 24-hour hot water supply, and you can also watch pay channels!"

Sanhao laughed again, deliberately flashed his twin flashing headlights in the direction of the slum, and the women standing in the container began to scratch their heads again.

Shalin hurriedly covered the eyes of the canned herring to avoid letting it see the inappropriate scene for children, after all, it was still underage.

The car continued to drive along the road on the right side of the slum for more than ten minutes, and the scenery on both sides of the road gradually changed, and as they finally officially entered the city limits of the inferior city, suddenly an extremely faint sound of electricity came from Shalin's body.

Sarain strangely lifted the cat and looked down at himself.

He didn't have any electronics on him other than Keck's phone, but Keke's phone had long been unusable due to low battery and seawater immersion.

So how can there be an electric current sound?

Static electricity generated by friction between cat hair and car cushions?
