From scrap mecha to sci-fi heaven

Chapter 244: Trip to the Garbage Mountain

It stretches as far as the eye can see, piled up into mountains, and spreads out for an unknown number of miles.

This is a mountain of garbage.

As its name suggests, this is one of the main landfill areas for urban garbage in Ceylon, and the garbage has piled up into a stretching mountain range.

Many scavengers make a living from this.

The backer eats the mountain.

It's just that they are eating a mountain of garbage. Other than that, there is nothing surprising.

In order to facilitate movement and to snatch high-value items from the garbage that comes regularly to be dumped as soon as possible, most waste pickers live nearby, and some even build shacks directly among the mountains of garbage.

This can be regarded as forming a relatively alternative gathering place.

Built on the "mountain", it is dilapidated and dirty. It is not as prosperous as a normal camp and is more chaotic, but some settlements have been formed.

Many simple wooden houses and tents made of rags form the streets.

There are occasional uneven spots, wooden boards, metal pillars, or a larger plastic shell. All the materials that can be picked up become bridges connecting the settlements.

Living in it is also a small society.

Someone was burning rubbish near the door, using the most primitive method to collect the most uncontested and cheap materials.

There are people wearing sparse fabrics, standing at the door and posing, or walking down the streets and actively knocking on the doors of houses. From time to time they can enter a shack and conclude a deal.

Some people pick out relatively complete food, especially meat, from the garbage mountain, wash it briefly, wrap it in thin flour and fry it in hot oil, which becomes a pastime for many low-level scavengers.

"Thank you for being able to eat it."

In front of such a small stall selling the most famous delicacies in Junk Mountain, a man and a woman sat opposite each other.

The skinny Asian man was eating unidentified meat that looked like fried chicken nuggets on the folding wooden table in front of him.

The charming white woman opposite her frowned in disgust.

"Although it is picked from the garbage dump, it is washed and fried, and there are basically no germs."

The skinny Asian man gnawed the last piece of fried chicken until no trace of meat was left. He burped with satisfaction and continued to comment:

“The greatest joy of this kind of food is that you can never guess what you will eat before you eat it. It may be whole fried chicken wings wasted by a rich man, or it may be unknown broken bones and flesh and blood.

If you don't pay too much attention to the source of the raw materials, it is actually quite crispy and delicious, and the sweet and sour sauce is also very good. "

"This precondition of yours is simply not true."

The charming woman glanced at the fat black woman not far away who was cleansing a lot of broken bones and flesh openly.

Just like rubbing clothes.

The items to be cleaned are also rummaged through garbage dumps, such as discarded chicken bones and fried chicken remnants.

It is also the raw material for the food sold at this stall.

No shying away, just clean and process it in front of you.

"But for the lowest level scavengers, this is even a delicacy they only enjoy occasionally. It has been a tradition for many years and is something they are accustomed to."

The thin Asian man was holding a sharp bone spur from an unknown creature and part, and was picking his teeth while talking.

"That's enough, my patience has its limits."

The charming woman seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and her eyes turned cold.

"One piece of good news, one piece of bad news."

The skinny man got down to business.

"explain."

The charming woman just said one word in a cold voice.

"The target didn't come, only his logistics and security personnel came. It seems that we didn't show enough threat and didn't attract enough attention."

The skinny man didn't show off any more.

"What's the good news?"

The charming woman frowned.

"Except for the target himself, everyone else is basically here. Two of them are even most likely to be the target's confidante. The same goes for catching them."

Having said this, the skinny man paused slightly, as if he had received some message. He touched his temples with his index finger and ring finger, and then said calmly:

"The latest news is that a dimensional beast has appeared in the Black Snake camp. It is initially expected to be at least D-level. The target has already gone to stop it."

"That's just right. It saves us the trouble and risk."

The charming woman finally showed her charming smile after hearing this.

But there is also a hint of coldness and bloodthirsty in this charm: "Catch the person who comes first, and then catch the target who will hurt both sides with the dimensional beast."

"As far as I know, there is more than one machine in the Tianting mecha group."

The skinny man reminded.

"It's only E-level at most."

The charming woman just chuckled disapprovingly, stood up slowly, and raised her head slightly to look at the night sky without any stars.

Above the night sky.

A faint blue track streaked across the sky, like a falling star, getting brighter and bigger.

That's...

Nantianmen number!

"Aren't you going to take action yet?"

The skinny man looked at the charming woman.

"Although this aerospace ship should not have an energy shield or ship-borne weapons, if it cannot be completely destroyed at once, no one can stop it from escaping. In addition, I have no habit of destroying my own trophies."

The charming woman said lightly, without moving her eyes, she just raised her head slightly and quietly looked up at the landing of the Nantianmen.

Although the compatible systems of specialized models and high-end mechas for air combat and space combat are not excluded, pilots still focus on ground combat most of the time.

After all, the mecha itself is the new generation king of land warfare that replaces tanks and infantry.

And with the speed of the aerospace ship, once something is wrong and it starts to take off and evacuate, it is generally impossible to leave it behind.

Therefore, the safest way is to wait for the aerospace ship to complete the landing and the engine to shut down completely.

At that time, even if you want to escape, it will take time to restart the engine. Whether it is heavy firepower coverage or mechas coming forward, it is enough to keep this valuable aerospace ship here completely.

However, plans are always different from reality.

"Damn it! These guys don't even plan to land."

The charming woman's face quickly turned pale.

Because the Nantianmen did not completely shut down and land, but hovered above the headquarters of the Garbage Gang, and only a few people landed on individual flying skateboards.

——This thing was once used as an external flight equipment for individual exoskeletons, but with the development of technology, this backward thing has gradually become a real entertainment device similar to skateboards.

At the same time, it is also equipped on some flying vehicles as an emergency survival device, just like a lifeboat on a ship.

"At least the people have come down, and it's the same if we catch them."

The skinny man was much calmer at this time.

"That's right."

The woman's expression was slightly better after hearing this.

Since the people have come down, the spaceship can't easily abandon these people and evacuate. Even if they really evacuate, the loss is only the spoils of war, and the main goal can still be achieved.

"In this case, do it."

She completely lost her patience.

Fortunately, she still remembered that her goal was to capture people, not to kill them.

At a command, Xue Siqiao, Xu Xiaotu, Miller and the other two who had just landed on their individual flying skateboards, as well as several accompanying personnel sent by Black Snake, were surrounded by a large number of gunmen hiding in various places.
