Chapter 18 Outside?

Although the suburbs of the city look flat and empty and have no buildings at all, if you look closely, you will find that every few hundred meters, there will be a piece of ground with different colors than the surrounding area.

No matter how stupid a person is, he can know that there is a special place here. Several children from the West Outer Ring Area surrounded the strange floor and poked a hole like a keyhole for a long time with excitement. Unfortunately, their main business is not a thief. After several minutes of tossing, they could not pry open the lock. In the end, Macajren couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and slapped the lock at the lockhole. With a click, the lock opened, which attracted several children to look at him with admiration. If the wind was not too strong and he couldn't stand steadily, he would probably rush up and hug his thighs and become a disciple.

It is not easy to lift the floor in the wind in the strong wind, but it is easy for the shadow-seekers. There is a ladder under the floor, without lighting equipment, and the black hole looks particularly suspicious. However, the survivors have no doubts about this. Obviously this is a normal phenomenon. More than 20 people got in like escape. After leaving the strong wind like a knife, they finally could take a few breaths smoothly.

"Crack, crack", a ray of light lit up, and it turned out to be the most primitive candle. Through the light, everyone saw everything underground clearly.

The so-called safe haven is actually just a basement. Each of the five rooms below is not big. More than twenty people are inside. Although they can be installed, they are also a bit crowded. Judging from the facilities of the basement, the bedroom, living room, warehouse, kitchen and toilet are all equipped with them, but there is no energy-driven automatic equipment inside. From cooking to lighting, it is the oldest natural method. There are only two beds with upper and lower bunk beds in the bedroom. It seems that the largest number of people here is four, no wonder more than twenty people are so crowded.

The biggest feature of the basement is that strange-shaped metal tools are piled everywhere, as well as some special building materials. It is said that this is for temporary rest for craftsmen who repair the structure of the floating city edge. Since it is in the suburbs and belongs to the blind spots of the energy pipeline, no energy facilities can be built, and even the most basic lighting requires candles.

"Absolutely safe here?" Xiuer looked around. He was just a simple lounge with no decoration at all. He was extremely simple. It was obviously an indoor enclosed on all sides, but the candlelight was still shaking gently. It can be seen that the ventilation effect was very good. More than 20 people squeezed into it. The problem is that it was simply a dream to block the mechanical puppets at this level. The shadow chasers did not understand why these survivors were so relaxed when they arrived in the suburbs.

"Uncle, don't worry." Delia rolled her eyes, pulled Shuer aside, and explained quietly, "It is theoretically absolutely safe here."

"Hmm? Why?"

"Because mechanical beasts also need energy-driven. In order to save materials, the mechanical beasts that are invaded by machinery only have a small amount of their own energy and rely entirely on the city's functional system to maintain their actions. However, there is no energy pipeline in the suburbs, and they cannot replenish energy. They will soon be paralyzed when they come. In addition, there is basically no one in the suburbs, so mechanical beasts will never appear in the suburbs."

"In this case, the mechanical beast is not easy to deal with." Mobak touched the bearded man, obviously quite proud of his strategic vision. "Don't the mechanical beast's crisis be solved automatically?"

"Haha, hehe, yes." Delia looked at him with a very 'worship' look, "and then the city crashed."

"What if a mechanical beast accidentally enters here?" Shur glared at Mobak and continued to ask, "Will it cause any threat to you?"

"Uncle." A trace of reluctance flashed in the little guy's eyes, "You are not planning to leave, are you?"

The shadow chasers were stunned. This child was too sensitive. He had already imagined countless content without saying anything. Moreover... everyone stayed away from Shuer. What did you do to this child? She couldn't bear to leave you? Damn perverted, even such a young child would not let go?

Get out, I did nothing, a bunch of idiots.

Shuer roared with his eyes and pressed it on the girl's head. The moment he turned around, his expression had changed into a smile: "Although we will always separate in the end, but now, we still have an employment agreement. You won't just want to run away after taking the money, hum, is my money so easy to make?"

"Whoever takes the money, whoever takes the money." The little guy was immediately furious, "We deserve those credit points. You promised me not a single commission."

"Boss, this is not your illegitimate daughter, hahahahaha." Makajren couldn't help it and blurted out, "There are successors to the Gold-Eating Beast, hahahahahaha... wait, wait, head, put the hammer down, listen to my explanation."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Shuer patted Delia's head and raised the volume and said, "Survivors, you have arrived at an absolutely safe place. Next, just wait until the electromagnetic pulse system is fully charged and successfully started, and you can return to normal life. Then, our mission has been completed smoothly. If you don't mind, come and settle the account."

"Didn't it be settled at the beginning?" A weak protest sounded in the crowd. "Although we were afraid, we didn't become fools. Credit point transfers have records. You don't want to take the opportunity to collect them again."

"Tsk tsk, so that's how it is." Xiuer smiled and glared at the protester. Wait for me, I'll kill you if you have a chance. "How could it be? I have a bad memory and forgot, hahaha, forgot. Since the mission has been over and it's too crowded here, then we'll leave. Haha, I think people like us are by my side, and everyone won't feel very happy."

"Hahaha." The survivors laughed dryly, don't want to lie to us. We have seen through your routine along the way. Whoever dares to nod at this time will definitely be cheated by you, a bastard, again. What kind of damn mental loss costs? Is this the first time I heard of such a hellish fee?

"Go." Sighing regretfully, Shuer waved to the children, "Let's go to another safe haven, don't get along with the rich people in these intermediate and advanced areas."

"Wait a minute, we'll go too." The person who spoke was the four highest-ranking municipal officials who were rescued at the beginning, and the leader said seriously, "It's really too crowded here, we don't like it very much."

Tsk, it's indeed here.

Shur smiled strangely and did not reject the proposal: "Okay, welcome, haha, this is exactly what I hope for."

A pair of male and female officials were left to take charge of the overall situation, and the other two followed Shuer and the others back into the wind. The four seemed to have reached a consensus and there was no dispute over the quota issue, which surprised Shuer.

The wind outside was still so strong. According to Wei's calculations, if it was close to any constant of Pavadiga, it would be at least 3,000 meters above the altitude. There was no energy pipeline to supply energy, and the temperature here was much lower than that in the city center. Faced with the wind, the children subconsciously wrapped their clothes tightly and staggered with a few adults.

I pried open another safe haven and sneaked in. Now I finally relaxed a lot, at least I didn’t have to squeeze in and there was no place to sit. Although there was not enough chairs, the children felt that they ran to the corner and sat on the ground. After a few minutes, they squeezed together and fell asleep. Delia did not get together with the other four boys. After being teased by Marcajren, the little guy simply entangled with Shur, and showed special hostility towards Saf and Moriya, not jealousy, but possessiveness. The shadow-seekers are all sensitive guys. Naturally, it can be seen that the little girl really regarded Shur as a replacement for her father...?

Delia fell asleep at this time, but she was sitting on the ground, right next to Shuer's chair, sleeping soundly against Shuer's calves, and even her saliva was touched on Shuer's holy robe. Although the small family came to be smart and agile, she was still a child after all. After a night of hard work, she was nervous and excited, and her experience had been consumed.

"Sassa." Shure pointed to the other four children, "Take them into the bedroom and sleep, ha, don't worry, four beds will leave beds for the two to rest. As for this greedy guy... forget it, just like that."

There is no way. Even if the little guy fell asleep, he was still holding the hem of Shuer's holy robe. He also wiped the corners of his mouth from time to time with his clothes. Seeing that Shuer's forehead blood vessels leaped. When you wake up, you must ask you to compensate me for the laundry fee. Well, it's okay to deduct a gold coin, it's very cheap, right?

"Okay, there are no outsiders now." Everything ended and finally sat back on the spot. Shuer showed a holy smile that made everyone in the Rose Capital of the merchants, changing his previous rudeness, "What do you guys call me?"

"Surta." The man in charge pointed to the woman next to him, "I am the director of the Superconducting Metal Research Office of the Municipal Science and Technology Research Institute. This is Mailin, my deputy."

"Praise the Holy Spirit and praise wealth." Shur said with a smile, "Mr. Surta can call me Shur. I won't say much nonsense. We all understand that if you ask to come with us, there must be important business negotiations. Oh, this is the case. As we are, we must have come to us to discuss business. I just don't know what Mr. Surta needs?"

"We have a question to ask some traders first." Obviously, Surta has determined that these people are mysterious black market traders, "You... are not people from this city, right?"

"Huh?" Shuer's eyes twitched and he said with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Surta and our colleagues also have private communication. Haha, I really don't know their code."
