Lu Xin, Gecko, and Mom, sister, came to the lively street in the middle of the town.
At first glance, it seems that this place is more lively than the lifeless streets of Satellite City. There are stalls on both sides with various products, including unknown meats, and various live animals in cages or tied directly with ropes. There are even several stalls filled with firearms. The stall owner has a ring of bullets wrapped around his body, and he is holding a gun in his arms to promote it.
"Our guns are good, our guns are wonderful,"
"Our gun doesn't jam and is best suited for robbery..."
"..."
On both sides of the muddy road, there are many stalls with huge tents and exaggerated promotional posters standing next to them.
There was a host holding a microphone and wearing fancy clothes, performing exaggerated and weird dances to dynamic music.
Next to him, there was a cage. Inside was a thin and small humanoid creature, covered with black feathers. He cowered in a corner of the cage, motionless. He only trembled slightly when he kicked the cage.
The host, while dancing, grabbed the microphone and shouted loudly, "Come and see, the tickets are ten yuan each, there are children in tanks, hairy chickens, alien species after the disaster, snake-headed women... There are all kinds of monsters. You can't lose money or be cheated with ten yuan, but for only ten yuan, you can open your eyes..."
"..."
The people walking on the road all had various descriptions. Most of their clothes looked shabby but strong. Now in the towns outside the city, the temperature was already relatively cold, but there were still many people who deliberately opened their arms, revealing the guns in their waists.
There are neon lights wrapped around some doors nearby, and there are many women wearing heavy makeup smoking cigarettes there.
The small eyes under the dark circles often scanned the people passing by on the street.
Whenever he meets someone's eyes, he shouts loudly, "Try it? Great service!"
There are also some thin-looking men who are also leaning on the pillars and shouting when they see people, "Try it? Give me a fruit plate!"
Lu Xin felt a little uncomfortable when they looked at him and asked Gecko: "What are you doing?"
Gecko only glanced at it, shook his head sadly, and said, "We are running a business, selling newspapers..."
"..."
"Is this the world outside the city?"
Of course Lu Xin knows that Gecko is talking nonsense. It's not like he has never seen it before. Such a business also exists in Satellite City.
The reason why I asked is that I didn't expect that there are men in this industry in Blackwater Town.
Walking quietly on the street, looking at the excitement around him, he sighed in his heart.
This is a completely different world from the city. There are also similar streets in the city, but they are more selling vegetables and gadgets. The people soliciting customers on the roadside are not too arrogant. Overall, the city seems a bit depressing, but here, it is very lively.
The world after Crimson Moon has always been like this. Order and chaos are like two parallel lines, developing simultaneously inside and outside the wall.
The world outside the city is certainly dangerous and cruel, but it gives people a feeling that is so crazy that it is almost unrestrained.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this feeling that attracts some people.
So even if the material life inside the high wall is pretty good, there are still many people who are willing to stay outside.
"Brother, where is the person we are looking for?"
At this time, Gecko had already put on his huge pair of sunglasses.
It was originally night, and even if the lights on the street were bright, he wouldn't be able to see clearly even if he was wearing sunglasses. I don't know what he was thinking.
And after listening to his words, Lu Xin also looked up.
After finally arriving at such a lively place, my sister had already disappeared.
The figure of Mom is not beside him, but when Lu Xin looks up, she can always see her shadow.
Or standing in front of a small stall, as if admiring the piles of small jewelry.
Or standing in a cold corner and pointing to a certain location.
Lu Xin followed the guidance of Mom, passed through the crowded crowd little by little, and walked forward slowly.
"What should we do after we find those people?"
As it got a little closer, Lu Xin asked Gecko.
Gecko frowned, raised his head and looked around, feeling slightly nervous.
He also knew that the purpose of coming out with Lu Xin this time was to track down a knight group.
The opponent should have heavy firepower and three ability users.
"It stands to reason that we should inform the boss of this town first. I heard that he is a guy named Master Snake, who maintains a large armed force. He has a lot of business dealings with our Qinggang, and he is also a vassal. It stands to reason that he will cooperate with us."
Gecko frowned and analyzed in a low voice. "However, this place is not close to us Qinggang City after all. Moreover, these bastards are all greedy for money. I am not sure whether those capable people hiding here have already colluded with them. If we show our identity first, we may be able to alert the snake and create opportunities for those people."
"Normally, it should be easier to deal with those people in this town than outside."
"After all, when you enter the town, you only have a pistol with you..."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "Then find them first."
He also understood the analysis of Gecko. Forces like Blackwater Town have done a lot of things that High Wall City like Qinggang did in an overt and covert manner. If they intend to cover up, then It is possible to do something secretly, but if you find those people in advance and inform Blackwater Town, they will be honest again, because if they continue to do it at that time, it will be obvious that they will have trouble with Qinggang.
While they were talking, they had already passed through a busy street and came to a house converted from two rows of three-story buildings. Lu Xin saw that Mom had appeared at the door of a chess and card room and turned to look at him with a smile.
He had an idea in his mind and said to Gecko, "Let's go in and have a look!"
"You want to gamble, or?"
Gecko looked at the chess and card room, his face was slightly startled, and he hurriedly followed.
"What are you doing here?"
When Lu Xin and Gecko arrived at the chess and card room, the two tall men with sinister faces stood up.
Lu Xin went straight in, but Gecko raised his head and cursed, "We're already here, what are you talking about?"
As he spoke, he took out a handful of banknotes, flashed them, and stuffed them back.
Seeing him like this, the two strong men said nothing, shook their heads, and sat back down.
Lu Xin walked directly into the lobby of the chess and card room, and a strong smell suddenly hit his face.
It was a super-heavy smell bomb that mixed smoke, alcohol, body odor, sweat and other complex smells. Walking towards him was a young girl wearing a three-point jumpsuit with white rabbit ears stuck on her head, holding various cigarettes and drinks in her arms.
Noisy sounds filled the eardrums, some shouted "big", some shouted "small", and some shouted "I said turn it up", "I said turn it down", "Fuck you", "Fuck you", "Ah bah!" "Ah ah bah" "How dare you spit salty" "Bah!" "Bah bah bah bah".
I came to my favorite place like this, but Gecko's face no longer had a playful smile.
No matter how rude he usually is, he still knows what he is doing here.
It's not just the knights they want to track down, there are also three ability users among them. Especially, now they are not with Qinggang City, but have Special Pollution Cleanup Department behind them to support them. Although Qinggang City has great influence in the surrounding areas, there are still many cases where people from various industries who come out of Qinggang for business suddenly disappear or their bodies are found in the wilderness.
If you're not careful, it could be you.
With a tense look on his face, he glanced at Lu Xin and whispered, "Is it here?"
Lu Xin nodded and looked through the chaotic crowd to a closed room inside.
Gecko reached out and held down the gun at his waist, with a cautious look on his face. "What's the plan?"
Lu Xin's eyes turned slightly to the side, and he subconsciously thought along Gecko's words.
Now my sister is beside me, squatting on the card table next to me, watching others playing cards attentively, and seems to want to get a hand, while Mom is standing next to the innermost room, holding a delicate small satchel in his hand, looking at himself with a gentle expression and smiling.
Inside this door may be the Knights who killed so many people in Qinggang...
Then he shook his head and said, "No need to make plans."
With that said, he walked straight to the door of the room and kicked it in.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open and there was a lot of movement.
The people inside who were sitting around a long table playing cards suddenly turned their eyes over.
Lu Xin quietly scanned the people in the room and saw a total of seven people. Five of them were sitting at the table playing cards, and two girls wearing bunny ears were serving. He could not find anyone who looked like Qin Ran in the circle of people, but his eyes rested on a man wearing a red suit on the other side of the table, near the window. Slowly determining something.
The man was holding three cards at this time, raising them high as if he was about to throw them down.
Seeing Lu Xin come in, his expression froze slightly.
Lu Xin looked at him, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and said, "You finish playing this card first, I'm not in a hurry."
