Nest City Streets

Fei Ji perched on Luo Di's shoulder like a pet, which directly indicated Luo Di's status as a "New Recruit" and prevented his appearance and strange attire from being targeted by the Spine People.

Moreover, ordinary soldiers are not assigned to special conscription Recruitment Spine.

Turn the lock on the door and push it open.

Luo Di instinctively pulled back the step he was about to take across the threshold.

Because there was no corridor outside the door as expected, but rather an empty space... hundreds of meters above the ground.

This "apartment" located in the Chaos Nest is completely different from the Human World. It has a huge barrel-shaped structure and more than 100,000 residents.

Such apartments are only considered small to medium-sized in the context of urban centers.

There are no elevators, no stairs, no passageways, and no corridors.

Only rows of single apartments are embedded in the walls, densely packed like a honeycomb.

Residents who are able to obtain Residency Right in Mid-Nest have developed well at the spinal level, and "wall climbing" is one of their most basic abilities.

No need to borrow any equipment to go up or down stairs.

Residents leave and return to their apartments by climbing over the wall.

This design allows for both physical exercise and space saving.

Moreover, the building materials used were not reinforced concrete, but rather the unique "marrow mud" of the spine.

Despite its bone-like material, it is actually top-notch in terms of hardness, toughness, heat resistance, and sound insulation.

This material also possesses a biological characteristic – regeneration.

Even if a climber damages a building during the climb, it can heal quickly in a short period of time.

After obtaining information about the building, Luo Di jumped directly from the 42nd floor where he lived, then used the butcher knife in his right hand to slow his descent and land steadily.

The cut wall was indeed healing rapidly, and it was estimated that it would be back to normal in less than ten minutes.

Guided by the Fei Ji, I stepped out of the apartment and officially entered the streets of the city.

When he saw the so-called "street", he was stunned for a moment. The street in front of him was not the same as the street in his memory at all.

Several times, even dozens of times, the width of streets in human cities, with numerous sky bridges and elevated streets intersecting and making the most of the space.

Buildings featuring keywords such as "corner," "spine," "huge," and "dense" are ubiquitous.

At the same time, you can also see Hell Factory that is larger and more sophisticated than ordinary buildings, with chimneys rising upwards and constantly emitting thick smoke, as if it is operating at full capacity all year round.

Compared to the sulfur and ashes of the Hell Wasteland.

The Chaos Nest filtered out most of the ash, and the smell in the air was no longer the stench of sulfur, but a smell that Luo Di had once smelled in the restaurant.

The smell of a piece of spinal cord being roasted and charred.

It smells pretty good.

Furthermore, even on such a wide street, it was almost always crowded with pedestrians.

The so-called "pedestrians" here are naturally the Spine People, the Devil with a similar body structure to humans. Most of them expose their spines, which is, after all, their proudest and most important body structure.

"Skin color": Most of them have a reddish hue similar to lava. This red represents high temperature, heat, killing, and a love of war.

"Physical Form": The spinal group values the physique, and those who have undergone Flesh Forging generally possess large physiques. Even those considered slender are between 1.8m and 2.2m tall. Most are between 3m and 5m tall.

"Horns": In addition to the iconic spine, they more or less have the structure of "Bone Horn", which are mostly curved horns growing on both sides of the forehead, or a single horn structure growing in the center.

"Clothing": Except for a small number of people who wear robes or trousers made of leather, most people's clothing can be called armor, made of bone or metal.

They wear them, or even embed them directly into their skin, covering key parts of their bodies to reduce the exposure of their weaknesses.

It's clear that the people of the Spine are extremely inclusive. The materials and designs of their various garments are all different. As long as it can enhance their personal strength, it's a good thing. There is no exclusion or prejudice.

"So many Ridgewalkers?" Luo Di had no idea how many residents the so-called Nest City had; what he could see now was probably not even the tip of the iceberg.

Fei Ji seemed to proudly raise the top of his spine, "This is the Chaos Nest, one of the largest cities in the True Hell... with a total population of 6 billion."

"6 billion?! All of them are spineless?"

The world where Luo Di lives only has eight billion, but now just one city has six billion.

Fei Ji shook his wings. "How could they all be Spines? The total number of Spines is probably around two hundred million. After all, there aren't that many ' Hell Object ' to produce."

Although the population of Nest City is large, most of them are non-spine dwellers and live in the Lower-Nest area, which is several times more crowded.

These people love war and aspire to become "Spine Warriors," so they are willing to live in the Lower-Nest region. It is all thanks to them that the city helps "digest" domestic waste; otherwise, it would be difficult for the Nest to achieve any kind of internal circulation.

If they perform well enough, they are indeed qualified to be granted the title of "Hell Object" and become a Spine.

certainly.

The people we're in now in Mid-Nest are mostly Spinewalkers like you, and the vast majority have already joined a legion.

"Don't they need to go to war?"

"Of course they need to be. So less than half of them stayed in the city; the rest were either fighting or on their way to war."

As Luo Di observed the streets of the Nest City, the Spine Warriors there also sensed something different.

They quickly noticed this group and discovered the outsider who was different from them in terms of clothing, appearance, and skin color.

But when they discovered the Recruitment Spine standing on the outsider's shoulder, they felt a mixture of envy and apprehension, and stopped staring at this Outer-Realm Apostle.

Luo Di naturally noticed the change in these people's eyes, but he didn't care too much, nor did he need to.

He continued to carefully observe the unimaginably vast city using the camera provided by his clothing, trying to gather as much information as possible and store it on videotape, perhaps with the opportunity to bring it to the Human World.

The cameras capture various details of the streets of the city.

Although the people living here are all physically exceptional, they still need to rely on transportation to move efficiently in such a huge city.

However, the vehicles and machinery here are not very related; they are mostly just metal decorations.

Various beasts related to the spine serve as means of transportation, and these beasts also originate from the Hive Factory, being transport creatures created by Bio-Blacksmith.

They can be mainly divided into the following three categories:

Single and double-person mounts, crawler-type multi-person vehicles, and flying-ridge mounts.

These biological carriers have two characteristics.

1. They are branded with two kinds of marks: one is Transport Permit, and the other is Lumbar Vertebra Mark representing Mid-Nest.

Biological vehicles are only permitted to operate in the Mid-Nest after obtaining these two tokens.

2. Their spinal structure has a Connection Port, through which the rider can insert their tailbone to establish a neural connection with the mount, thereby achieving perfect control and eliminating any subjective operational errors.

For some reason, Luo Di was interested in this biological vehicle.

He raised his hand and pointed to a Hell Beast covered in jet-black armor, with a physique comparable to an adult male lion, lacking eyes and nostrils, with only its serrated mouth protruding.

"Can I get this?"

"You haven't even joined the legion yet, and you already want to get a mount? You can't buy this with money. You need to fight bravely on the battlefield and accumulate War Merit. Then you will naturally be able to get the mount and the corresponding War Beast reward."

"Um."

He even wanted to bring this mount into his world, hoping it might be helpful when exploring hidden corners.

in addition,

The streets of Chaodu also have many places similar to human cities - [shops].

The base of the buildings often houses various shops for trade, mostly restaurants. There are also some shops that Luo Di has never seen in human cities before, such as Beast Shop, Insect Servant Shop, Juicing Shop, and so on.

Some of the shops reminded Luo Di of the underground locations in Pluto City, and during his observation, some extravagantly dressed individuals extended invitations to him.

After seeing that Luo Di had a basic understanding of the Nest City, Fei Ji flew away from his body, bending its body and pointing in a specific direction.

"That's enough about getting familiar with the city. You'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know this place in the future, and maybe even make some fellow veterans. Come with me, today we need to complete your Service Assessment."

The Recruitment Ground is quite a distance from here; we'll take the Ring Rail there.
