Act 156: New name Kate

Not crazy, not living zombies, it seems to be rational, looking at the shape of the figure, it seems to be a human.

Neller was no longer noisy, Lin marked the figure with prey marks, then raised his gun and approached step by step.

In grayscale vision, the originally flat-like silhouettes have details as the distance approaches, and become concave and convex.

Looking at this time, we can confirm that the figure is a human, and it seems to be a young girl. However, for some reason, she was lying in the coffin, and when the coffin was opened, she was able to wake up.

"Have you seen enough?" The figure turned his head, and his long black hair danced, making him a crisp girl's voice.

Lin subconsciously felt that this woman was a trouble, and he had not had time to speak. Neller, who was just accusing Lin of killing Nico, had already run to Lin and said to the girl, "Are you a human or a monster?"

"Of course I am a human." The girl stood up from the coffin and stepped out of the coffin, looking a little elegant.

She ignored Neller and walked to Lin a few steps, looked at Lin's gun still aiming at her, and said without panic, "Why are you so nervous?"

She looked Lin up and down and said, "You are a mercenary, are you going to take over this task?"

"What mission?" Lin asked.

He did not smell any dangerous aura from the girl crawling out of the coffin, but he still did not take it lightly. Enemies who can deceive intuition are often more terrifying than those who can feel threatened.

The girl said, "I need you to deliver a piece of goods to Emerald City. The reward is very high, and you will definitely be willing."

"What goods? Where is the Jade City?" Lin continued to ask.

He knew that the goods this girl was talking about were definitely not ordinary goods, and he had never heard of the name Jade City.

What he knew was that the largest city on this wasteland was Angel Academy, the Angel City where he was located. The smaller towns were such as Zhongpen Town, Qingquan Town, etc. As for the Emerald City, he had never even heard of it.

"The goods are me. As for Emerald City, have you ever heard of the Thirteen Cities Federation?" The girl replied to Lin's question and raised a new question.

Lin shook his head.

The girl looked at Lin, then looked at Neller, Sloth, and Joel beside Lin sighed. She seemed to be sighing how backward and ignorant the people in the remote countryside were.

"The Thirteen Cities Federation was established in 89 years after the war. It is the largest organization on the west coast of this continent. You don't even know this?" said the girl.

Sloth looked at the girl with a head that made her envious long hair. She couldn't stand her way of speaking with emphasis. She snorted heavily in her nasal voice, and then said, "Miss Noble, the land under your feet is on the east coast of the mainland. I don't think you know what the place under your feet is called."

"East Coast? So far?" The girl seemed a little surprised, but immediately her face calmed down.

"Okay, mercenary, since you are on the East Coast now, the reward for sending me to Emerald City will be even higher. How about this?" The girl took out a small box from somewhere, stretched out her arm, and handed it to Lin.

Fortunately, Joel and Neller swallowed when they saw the girl's flawless white and tender arms as white as lotus root.

Sloth looked at the two anxious guys and hummed hard again.

"Genetic potion?" Lin soon recognized what was in the girl's hand, "How many levels?"

"The fourth level of the Perception Domain." said the girl.

Lin did not take the small box in the girl's hand, but instead frowned. The fourth-level genetic medicine, but high-end products that cannot be bought with 50,000 bottle caps. Even if it occasionally appears on the market, it is still a situation where there is no market price. It is often fryed to 100,000 bottle caps, which is not impossible.

It seems a bit abnormal if you have so much reward for a mere escort mission. The benefits and risks coexist. The higher the benefits, the greater the risks. It seems that this is not a simple escort mission.

"Isn't it enough? Then let's treat this as a deposit. When you send me to Jade City, I will pay another genetic potion with fifth-level ability?" said the girl.

Although, genetic drugs cannot force a person with insufficient potential to have fifth-level abilities. If they are really forced to improve like this, they will have serious compensation effects.

For example, this genetic agent can make people have sensitive hands. If people who have insufficient potential and insufficient evolution points use it, they may lose their hearing or become blind, and there is a chance that their legs will fail and become paralyzed.

In short, you will lose something when you get it. There are many such people in the City of Angels.

The price of fifth-level gene agents is almost ten times that of fourth-level, which means it is between 500,000 bottle caps and 1 million bottle caps.

Lin struggled for a while but still couldn't get rid of the temptation of the bottle cap. He said, "I took this task. However, there are a few points I need to explain clearly now.

1. I don’t ask who you are, and you don’t need to tell me why you want to go to Jade City.

2. I will ensure you are safe along the way, but you must follow my arrangements.”

The girl lowered her head and pondered for a while and said, "That's all, okay, I agree. Then let's set off now."

"My current task is to protect these children. After I send them back, we can set off." Lin said.

"Send it, give it." The girl waved her hand impatiently.

"Let's go back together." Lin said to the three remaining small shipbreakers beside him.

"Wait, we have to take off the silver from these coffins, and we can replace them with many bottle caps, and we can become rich and no longer be shipbreakers." Neller said, and ran towards the ten coffins.

The girl looked at the ignorant Neller and was a little impatient. She said, "Don't try harder, those are not coffins, nor are they made of silver. You guys are so stupid. They regard these survival boxes as coffins of the old era? One person died? It's ridiculous."

When Neller heard the girl's sarcastic words, he quickly remembered that the priest said that the silver was very soft and that the teeth could be marked with marks. So he immediately lay on the ground and took a bite. The coffins with shiny surfaces reflected and looked very high-end.

"ah!"

When Neller sniffed, there was a tooth mark left on the box, which made him feel that his teeth were about to break.

Isn't this a coffin?

No silver?

Then we planned for two months for what Nico's death was for.

Neller's face was filled with layers of confusion.

The blood of innocent people is worthless in the wasteland.

Bapi was woken up, and he held a hammer and looked at the people walking in front of him.

"Come back? What are you doing?" he asked.

Lin was hired by Bapi and was naturally responsible for explaining. He explained in a concise way what these little guys were doing, and finally said that Nick was dead.

When he heard that Nick was dead, Bapi's brows had not even moved. The lives of people in the wasteland were worthless. He was no longer surprised by the trivial matter of death. Only those flowers in the greenhouse would make people fuss about death.

"Nick is dead... Nick is dead..." Neller looked at his hands, his eyes wide open, and he murmured frustrated.

Bapi looked at Lin, Lin spread his hands, Bapi shrugged, and he asked everyone to return to his room. As if nothing had happened tonight, Neller and the others did not go out, Nick was not dead, and there was no one behind Lin.

As Lin returned to the room, the girl took off her hood, took off her dirty coat, twisted a corner of the coat with her fingers, and threw it aside with disgust.

Bapi didn't ask about her just now, as if she didn't see it. Lin Ye didn't mention it tacitly. The more he knew, the more trouble he had, the more he had. This is a general recognition in the wasteland.

Don’t talk more and ask more or listen more or you don’t know more or you ask more. This is the lowest cost way to protect yourself.

Lin's eyes skipped over the girl without stopping too much. Looking at her fair and delicate skin, Lin took out a handful of brown fruit from her pocket, threw it into the mud crab shell and mashed it with a butt, mixing it with half a liter of clean water, and then asked, "Do you do it yourself, or will I help you?"

The girl's skin is too white, too clean, and too healthy. Walking on the wasteland in this way is like a five-star bottle cap that runs by herself, and the temptation is not too great.

The solution prepared by Lin from fruits is a dye that can dye this white skin to a less healthy brown. This brown color is similar to the skin tone of most people in the wasteland, and is not so conspicuous, so many problems can naturally be avoided.

"I really want to apply it?" The girl looked at the dark and vague face in the mud crab shell.

"You have to paint, you are too conspicuous now. I don't have the ability to escort you to Emerald City. I already said when I took over the task, and everything will follow my requirements." Lin said.

The girl should not dislike the silt dye. She is difficult to tolerate a piece of dirty clothes, so she naturally cannot accept applying these dirty things to her body.

After trying several times, the girl who couldn't help but attack her said to Lin, "Come and help me."

"Okay." Lin replied neatly. He walked to the girl step by step and pulled off the cover clothes on the girl's body. He inserted his hand into the mud crab shell and wiped it on the girl with his hands covered with juice.

His hands were very stable and not fast. He let the dye cover every inch of the girl's skin at a constant speed, and no part of it was left out from the scalp to the lower body.

The scene is not at all beautiful.

At the beginning, the girl closed her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth as if she had accepted her fate. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and looked at the young strange man in front of her curiously, applying her body with her dirty hands.

Not shy, looking curiously.

"I'm done with it, go and stand there." Lin pointed to the table under the vent and let her stand on it and air dry.

The girl followed the words and was extremely obedient, as if her slight mouth had been hallucinating before.

Lin did not look at the girl standing on the table, with his big eyes drippingly, looking down at him. Instead, he collected the clothes that the girls took off and gathered them together. He snapped his fingers, and a cluster of dark blue flames appeared on his fingertips. Clothing with translucent gauze texture turned into ashes under the slightly charming flames.

"When will I get down? It's so dry, it's so itchy!" The girl standing on the table and drying her in front of the vent, shouted for the 23rd time.

"Wait a little longer." Lin responded.

At this moment, he was dealing with the warheads soaked in the solution, holding a tiny tool to deal with the deformation on these warheads.

"You are so stingy. I think you have a few bullets, why do you care so much about these broken bullets? The reward I give you is that such bullets can fill up ten thousand houses of such a big one." The dry girl stood bored, looking at Lin who was carefully dealing with the bullet shell, and started talking.

Lin seemed not to hear it, and was still dealing with the warhead. The moonlight shone through the window and fell on the table. The girl's ketone body was no longer as delicate as she had just made from the "coffin" and became much wilder.

She shook off a layer of scab left on her skin after the dye dried up, revealing a new skin tone that was a little darker than the wheat color.

Lin looked at her and said, "Okay." He threw her a few clothes that were not gender-specific.

The girl put on these clothes that were cut without any beauty, and she moved her body and felt uncomfortable.

Lin looked at her quietly until she stopped moving. After calming down, she said, "Your new name is Kate."

"Why is it called Kate?" The brown girl tilted her head. Although her skin color changed, her movements did not change, and she still revealed a "noble-like spoiled" atmosphere.

Lin pointed out the window, and the girl turned her head and saw a Cheshire cat. Lin said, "I call you Kate because I hope you are as agile as the Cheshire cat and are good at survival. By the way, put away your bracelet, it is too delicate and conspicuous."

"No!" Kate shouted. She posed in a defensive position and touched the bracelet before she felt relieved.

Lin saw that the bracelet was very important to her. Since she didn't want to take it off, she naturally had to think of another solution. He threw out a piece of rag and a ball of mud and said, "Wrap your thing with these."

Kate looked at the mud and rags, which was hard to accept at first, but then he was a little angry. Finally, he seemed to have accepted his fate. He looked at his new skin color, grabbed the mud and pasted it evenly on the bracelet, and then wrapped it around the mud with a bandage.

The next morning, the sun rose as usual.

Shipbreakers started construction one after another, and the port on the wild coast returned to yesterday's busyness. When Lin and Bapi said goodbye, they saw Neller walking into the pipe again with a rope wrapped around his waist, looking for small metal parts that could be removed.

Everything last night, except for the death of a Nick, seemed to change nothing.

"I'm leaving. I may have gone a little far this time, and I may not be able to come back on time to trade with you. I suggest you find another postman to bring you medicine. May the glory of the God of Scavenger be with you, goodbye."

Lin took Kate away from the wild coast.
