Bionic Era - Chapter 337
The dim sun burned on the dome.
Huge gears and clockwork are embedded in the earth.
Dark red rust seeps into the soil.
The luster of the metal is slightly bright.
Machines give birth to wings.
Lu Wen sat on the criss-crossed steel pipes.
He felt as if he was in a broken old age, with mechanical traces enveloping his soul, and there was a vague sound of steam in his ears.
Dark oil stains and dark gold metal are the main colors of this area.
Untidy rows of low-rise houses.
The kerosene lamp lights up in front of the glass window.
The streets are twisted and winding.
Looking condescendingly, the whole world is full of patchwork aesthetics.
Incongruous beauty.
Modernity and the past, technology and backwardness, and… the race of incongruous worlds.
【Blue people】
【Freaks】
【Transformation of people】
【Robot】
【Dwarf, Giant】
【……】
Everything that the human brain can imagine seems to become reality here.
Those classical…Science fiction and mystery, fantasy and falsehood.
This is the forgotten corner of the world.
It is an extension of those magical ancient books.
The yellowed sheepskin scroll slowly unfolds, and the blurry text invades reality from the illusion, constructing this three-dimensional city.
…
The exit of the passage next to the elevator shaft is a hidden cliff.
There are countless huge pipes on the cliff.
The world is not cold.
very warm.
Lu Wen jumped from the exit onto the pipe, followed the pipe all the way forward, and came to a place with human voices.
He jumped down the pipe, adjusted his sleeves a little, and then started walking on the street.
The streets are paved with black slabs.
The crevices are lined with pebbles.
The houses on both sides are bungalows, decorated with worn-out metal parts, and the blackened rust spreads along the copper plates and iron slabs onto the eaves, giving it a rundown beauty.
Most of the people on the street are dressed in ordinary, even a little tattered.
Lu Wen noticed that those people looked at him with weird eyes.
It seems a little in awe.
It’s like envy again.
[There are no normal-looking humans]
The feedback from the little ant reminded Lu Wen.
Along the way, for five or six minutes, I didn’t see any normal people.
The short ones are especially short, and the tall ones are especially tall.
There are also those of normal height, but covered in white or black hair, as if they had returned to their ancestors.
As for the hairless ones, the skin is abnormally blue.
This underground world is full of weirdness.
Lu Wen continued to walk on the twisted streets, observing carefully, and trying not to omit all the details.
Chaos and violence sometimes played out beside him.
Crazy fighting.
No one stopped.
In less than ten minutes, Lu Wen witnessed three fights with his own eyes.
White-haired and black-haired, robots and transforming humans, dwarves and giants.
The least suspenseful is the third game.
The big man with a height of more than three meters picked up the short man who was less than one meter tall, as if he was picking up a little chicken and slamming it heavily on the stone street, blood splattered and bloody, it was crushed by absolute strength. .
But these big guys are a little rickety, the taller the more rickety, I don’t know if it’s because the bones can’t bear it.
Lu Wen made a simple judgment.
“These fights are very principled, and try not to hurt passers-by and the vendors on both sides of the street.”
There are many vendors on both sides of the street.
Some sell toys, handicrafts, and some sell fruits and meat.
It looks no different from the ground world.
Lu Wen stood in front of a booth.
Look at the boss from time to time, and at the objects on the stall from time to time.
The stall owner is a dwarf, very short, about eighty centimeters, with thin limbs, wrinkled skin, withered hair, and lack of expression in his eyes. He is dressed in a plain, gray-white clothes with a few patches.
There are many metal crafts on his booth.
Some gadgets, but very beautiful.
Mostly brass.
Perhaps Lu Wen stood for too long and didn’t say a word, which puts a lot of pressure on the boss.
He swallowed and asked cautiously: “Dear guest, what do you need?”
“what do you have?”
“This is all my stuff.”
He tried his best to stand taller, but his tone was still humble. He introduced Lu Wen to the small objects on the booth, “Dear guests, if you need custom crafts, I will also use the shortest time to meet your needs.”
“Why call me a guest?”
“You are a pure human, with a noble status, and your skin is fair and delicate. The clothes on your body are expensive just by looking at the fabric. With a backpack, you should just come to the mixed zone to experience your appearance?” The dwarf looked respectful.
After living in these places for a long time, everyone will be a little bit observant.
Lu Wen nodded and replied: “Yes.”
He began to capture the key words in the boss’s words.
Pure human, mixed zone…
“How much money do you have?” Lu Wen asked suddenly.
“Ah this…”
The dwarf hesitated and said in a low voice: “Dear guest, do you want to…”
“I want to exchange some money with you.”
Lu Wen took out a gold bar.
It is 100 grams, not a strip, it is more appropriate to describe it as a tablet.
He noticed that the moment the gold piece was placed on the stall, the dwarf’s eyes were clearly brighter.
[Gold is also a precious metal in this world]
Lu Wen is probably a little emboldened.
It’s really no different from the ground.
“Dear guest, I…I may not have as much money as you need.” The dwarf looked at the gold pieces on the stall, a trace of desire appeared in his eyes, but reason prevailed.
“How much do you have?” Lu Wen asked condescendingly, looking into his eyes.
“I…here…this is all.”
The dwarf took out a thick pile of money.
There are zeros and wholes, and the scattered ones add up to less than 10,000.
He placed it on the stall respectfully.
“Dear guest, the money is still a lot worse, if… if you…”
“Yes, that’s it.”
Lu Wen put away the stack of banknotes.
When he was just shopping, in addition to watching fights, he also noticed a problem.
There seems to be no mobile payment in this world, and all transactions are banknotes.
Money is a big problem.
“You can check this gold bar, it’s real.”
“No, no, I believe you.”
The surprise and excitement on the dwarf’s face cannot be faked.
He had long heard that pure humans are quite rich, life is prosperous, and technology is prosperous.
But here is the northernmost part of the mixed zone, and pure humans are rarely seen several times a year.
I see more on the south side.
The banknotes in this world are very different from those on the ground. There are no heads or landscapes printed on the banknotes, but buildings.
Lu Wen took out all the banknotes of each denomination and took a look.
There are three different buildings.
These three buildings are full of technological sense, and are completely different from the low one-story bungalows around them.
“Dear guest, do you need anything else?”
“no need.”
Lu Wen waved his hand.
Then, in the hot eyes of the dwarf, he turned and left.
During the conversation just now, the system in Lu Wen’s body has been capturing the physical characteristics of this dwarf for comparison and analysis.
Now the result is also out.
【Genetic Diseases】
[It may be hereditary]
All kinds of deformed children are born in nine cities every year, so there are quite a lot of data in the system database.
System analysis pointed out that this is a genetic disease.
It is very similar to the “dwarfism” of the outside world.
But the probability of inheritance is actually not great.
What Lu Wen saw in front of him was that there were so many dwarves all over the street…there were too many.
He was thinking about the fourth fighting incident not far away.
This time it is still robots and transformed people.
The battle between metal and half metal.
These people may live too leisurely and have nothing to do, or they may indeed be racial enemies, so they start fighting if they don’t agree with each other.
Lu Wen walked over slowly.
In such fighting scenes, there are often crowds eating melons.
People of all races gathered to discuss in a low voice, and they would cheer for one party.
In the previous three fights, Lu Wen heard a lot of news about the world.
“I think that robot can win. He is covered with metal and it is not easy to break defenses.”
“The robot also has weaknesses. The neck is very fragile. In order to allow the neck to turn flexibly, a certain gap is left. There are all lines inside, and it is gone with a single stroke.”
“The neck is also the weakness of that reformer.”
“But there are more weaknesses in transforming people, and transforming people are flesh and blood creatures, they will eventually be tired, and the calculations are not precise enough, and they will be slapped if they can’t dodge.”
“…”
People here seem to see such fights often.
So I have some experience.
Listening to their discussion, the two races of robots and modified humans have always been blind to each other.
And the final result is generally four or six, and the robot has a relatively large win.
“Ding–!”
This is the sound of a short knife slashing on a metal surface.
Sparks flew everywhere.
The reformer missed again and slashed hard without splitting the surface metal shell. The force of the counter-shock made him almost miss the knife in his hand.
He just transformed his legs into machinery, and his arm strength still belongs to the human category, not too strong.
The robot took the opportunity to punch him on the wrist holding the knife.
The short knife immediately dropped out and flew out.
The robot is in a good position and does not forgive. The other mechanical arm is holding a long knife and slashing horizontally. The blade is sharp and glowing with coldness.
At this time, the center of gravity of the reformer is unstable.
If this knife is slashed, the entire head will be shaved off.
He clenched his teeth.
He hurriedly fell to the ground and rolled backwards, and then he narrowly avoided the subsequent chops.
The long knife slashed on the ground continuously, slicing several slabs of stone.
The reformer had no weapons in his hand, and he knew he was invincible, so he was ready to use the last strategy of thirty-six strategies.
He got up in embarrassment.
The clothes are full of dust.
The robot behind him was chasing after him, and the cold radiated by the blade never seemed to leave the transformed man’s neck.
The transformed man was pale with sweat on his forehead. In order to escape for his life, he overturned a blue man’s fruit stall on the side of the road.
Various fruits were scattered all over the place.
Caused a certain obstacle to the robot.
“This is too much, fight and fight, life and death, what do you do when you lift up the little girl’s fruit stall?” a big giant from the giant clan muttered in a low voice.
“It’s over.”
Fighting in this area seems to have rules.
Lu Wen also found out before.
Try not to hurt passers-by and keep the roadside stall owners from doing business, so these people dare to watch the show.
This reformation not only affected the people, but also lifted the share price, which is not in line with the rules here.
But when it comes to life and death, he can’t care about so much.
“This guy doesn’t follow the rules, and he will always get retribution.” It was another blue guy who said this.
Lu Wen has good hearing and can hear all the sounds around him.
This sentence of “retribution” aroused his curiosity, and the level of these four words is quite heavy.
Just set up a fruit stand, there is no need to get retribution, right?
The stall owner is a young girl, looking at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she has a long braided head, very thin and blue skin.
Two fierce guys suddenly broke into the booth.
Also set up a stall.
The girl seemed to be a little scared, so she fell to the ground and shrank back a few steps.
Wen Lu inquired about the phenomenon of blue skin in the database, but the results obtained were only ‘Avatar’, ‘X-Men Beast’, ‘Smurfs’, ‘Heavy Metal Poisoning’ and so on.
There is no such thing as a blue race.
The only few reports were fabricated by the media in order to defraud clicks.
“Snapped!”
Just when Lu Wen checked the information.
The reformer hurriedly stepped on a banana and fell down.
Pounced forward and almost grabbed the ground with his head.
He fell straight to the side of the stall owner.
And the robot has already raised the long knife.
With this cut, both heads had to fall to the ground.
I don’t know what color the blood in the blue human body is.
Lu Wen only knew that in the memory of the last life that Yin Long gave him, the country he lived in, the blood color was green.
Of course, it is mainly to protect young people, so the blood turns green passively.
“call–“
The long knife flicked a faint trace in the air.
high speed.
The blade went from top to bottom and pointed directly at the two necks.
“Ding–!”
Sorrowful clash of blades.
The knife stopped.
Lu Wen pulled out the short knife and blocked the heavy long knife.
He looked plain and motionless.
The whispers of the surrounding crowd suddenly increased.
A deformed man spoke in a low voice, with envy in his eyes.
“It’s a pure human race. I haven’t seen a pure human race for more than a month.”
He was born deformed, with twisted lumbar spine and shifted facial features.
Another creature, covered in black hair, that looked like an erect ape at first glance said: “This pure human is so young and powerful. With his arms stretched out, he handed out a knife. It easily blocked the robot’s infinite power. Chop and chop.”
“Look at his clothes. The fabric is soft and smooth. It should be from a wealthy family. He has been trained since he was a child.”
“I heard that pure humans are very rich.”
“…”
All the discussions gathered in Lu Wen’s ears.
He is analyzing little by little.
There is no one you can trust in this world, just arrived.
“Human, do you want to save that person?”
“No, I just save this person.”
“Okay, then you leave.”
“can.”
Lu Wen took the short knife and pulled up the blue-skinned **** the ground.
Then came the scene where the head fell.
The blood of this transformed person is still red.
The robot kicked the head aside, and then dragged the headless corpse to Lu Wen.
He said solemnly: “I’m sorry for the heavy tone of the question just now. I apologize to you. There should be some valuable things on this person. It should be counted as the girl’s apologize.”
Very respectful tone.
This allows Lu Wen to confirm again that pure humans have a higher status here.
If it were another race, it might be another scene that blocked the robot’s knife at that time.
…
The fight ended and the man died.
There is nothing to watch.
There is still a pure human on the scene, and it is hard for the onlookers to keep it.
It’s all gone.
Lu Wen checked this body briefly, and there was nothing valuable. The total amount of his body was two to three hundred, and he couldn’t lose the fruit.
The blue-skinned girl was still picking up the undamaged fruits on the ground.
Lu Wen has heard it in the crowd.
The blue people seem to be particularly short of money and need to make money continuously, or they will die.
This remark is actually quite funny.
Anyone who has no money will die.
But then he heard it again, and it seemed to be about genetic drugs.
So after the fruit stall was overturned, a blue man onlookers whispered the phrase ‘retribution’.
Lu Wen slowly squatted down, looked at the girl, and asked calmly: “Are you short of money?”
“The blue people here are short of money.”
“What is your name.”
“Christo.”
Crystal, crystal.
The girl with a pretty good name seemed to realize that she had been busy picking up fruits on the ground, and she hadn’t had time to thank Lu Wen for the knife.
She hurriedly said: “Dear guest, thank you for your life-saving grace.”
Lu Wen took a heavier gold bar from his backpack and said to Christo: “I have money here, a lot of money.”
Before departure, Dr. Jiang asked Lu Wen to bring more weapons.
In his imagination, Lu Wen estimated that he was going to a mysterious place to kill the Quartet, carrying two guns and shooting.
But Lu Wen just smiled and said that he had money.
So most of his backpack is filled with gold bars, diamonds, gems and so on.
Christo looked at the gold bar for a moment, then bit his lip lightly, and whispered: “Dear guest, I’m not worth so much money.”
“I’m not interested in blue people, just want to ask a few questions.”
“You ask, I will tell you what I know.”
“It’s not convenient here.”
Lu Wen looked around.
People come and go on the streets.
…
The night in this world is coming soon.
The artificial sun above the head is gradually dimming, which means that night is coming.
In the evening.
Lu Wen followed Christo to a quieter street.
There are also one-story bungalows on both sides of the street.
Conditions are not good.
The houses are crooked and twisted, the walls are built up with red bricks at will, and then supported by some broken copper and iron that can be seen everywhere, it seems that it is about to collapse at any time.
The roof is mostly covered with asbestos tiles or rusty metal plates.
Lu Wen thought of the slums in the 16th district of Mowu City.
It’s not much better than the slums.
Many residents live.
Densely populated.
All races have.
Among them, blue people accounted for the majority.
Their facial features and figures are similar to those of pure humans, the only difference is the deep blue on their skin.
“Ahem…”
“cough……”
From time to time, the sound of coughing came from the low houses on both sides.
Those houses are very dilapidated.
Through the old glass window, you can see the dim lights inside.
One by one, the blue race rickets, their faces haggard and thin.
Can’t tell the age, but Lu Wen thinks that the blue people who cough are very young, but they have some symptoms.
They are all sick.
“squeak……”
Christo pushed open the door of her house.
The rusty metal door is very thin, the light blue paint shell on the door has almost fallen off, and the metal hinge is also swallowed by the black rust, making the door look shaky.
Bungalow, two rooms.
Space is small.
There is no difference between a living room and a bedroom.
It’s just two rooms, with a wooden door in the middle, each with a bed, and a small bathroom at the end.
The lights are dim.
The white paint on the wall was peeling off, and the corners of the walls were covered with spider webs.
Simple and dilapidated.
“Ahem…”
The sound of coughing came from the room inside.
Lu Wen stood by the wooden door and looked at it.
That is Christo’s mother.
A middle-aged woman.
Seeing that a guest came, she was still a noble pure human, and seemed to want to get up to greet her, but she didn’t have much energy.
Just move a few times and cough badly.
The whole house revealed poverty.
The few pieces of furniture, beds and the like, are all old things.
【The bottom of society】
The system gives this result.
Now Lu Wen can rest assured.
He casually sat on the wooden bench against the wall and asked: “Do you have surveillance or bugs in your house?”
Christo shook his head hastily.
“Honorable guest, we won’t have this kind of thing in our house.”
Not really.
Lu Wen looked at every corner in just a few minutes.
He took out a gold bar and a short knife.
Put them on the old wooden table separately.
The table was unstable, wobbly, and tilted slightly toward the side where the gold bars were placed.
Lu Wen said lightly: “I want to ask a few questions.”
Christo hurriedly closed the door.
Although her room door can be easily knocked open even if it is closed.
Her gaze stayed on the gold bar for a moment, then moved to the short knife.
This is a temptation and a warning.
This knife saved her life and could be taken away at any time.
In mixed areas, dead people are very common.
“Do you know that the kingdom of heaven is coming?”
This is Lu Wen’s first question.
Christo was taken aback~www.mtlnovel.com~ A trace of puzzlement appeared on her pretty face.
She hesitated for a moment and replied: “Dear guest, this should be a plan that every resident knows, you…”
While speaking, she stopped suddenly.
Everyone in this world does know it.
But the world on earth doesn’t know.
Christo suddenly understood the meaning of that short knife.
If her answer is slightly wrong, this sharp knife will stain her and her mother’s blood tonight.
…
