Old Hunter of Tomorrow’s Ark

"Ha... I said this is the most advanced city, at least cover it up a bit."

In the evening, the setting sun shone between the high-rise buildings in the distance. The shadow of a 30-story high-rise building covered Gao Qi's figure, announcing the coming of night in advance.

Standing in front of an abandoned low and unfinished building complex, Gao Qi sighed, looking at the flamboyant and eye-catching colorful graffiti that had weathered and peeled off on the wall, as well as the needles scattered randomly on the ground.

On the street not far away, dilapidated tents were stationed along the street. Some sound of sleep came from inside, and some strange murmurs came from inside.

Several children of different ethnicities are playing football on the dry mud. Although they are dressed in shabby clothes, they are extraordinarily energetic.

On their shoulders and in their calves, they could vaguely see a few dark origin stones.

A yawning Sarkaz man in dirty clothes was walking quickly to the side of a man with a stubble face and a tattered coat.

The Sarkaz people looked around, and stuffed the wet Colombian gold coupons in their hands to the man of Filmin. The man of Filmin was also extra vigilant and looked around for a while. After confirming that no one was there, he took out a bag of shallow water from his arms. Orange powder.

"Putyourhandsupnow!"

"Raise your hands, Smokestone Authority! Lie down on the ground!"

At this moment, in the side alley, several police officers in black uniforms, holding shields and batons, suddenly appeared, and the two who were trading ran away.

"Ice wall, rise up!"

And among the police, there was also a warlock who waved his staff and instantly froze the feet of the man in the film. A group of police officers rushed up and knelt down under him.

"I surrender, I surrender, I can't breathe—"

"Be vigilant! Sir, you are now under arrest for illegally selling Originium! You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will become evidence in court!"

The entire arrest process was smooth and smooth, and it can be said that it is the pursuit process of the classics.

"Gao Qi, why are they fighting?"

Beside Gao Qi, Scotty carried a large bag of local San Foucault snacks, bit a hot dog half covered with salad dressing, and looked curiously at the arrest scene over there.

"Let's not get involved, and I'll teach you slowly after that—sigh, I haven't seen the good things much, but the chaotic joints and violent law enforcement can be imitated."

Holding Skadi's little hand, Gao Qi glanced at the still struggling Filing man. He had no interest in saving a real criminal.

Although it looks like a drug dealer, this film man should actually be an arms dealer - Originium powder can be processed into a simple spell casting unit.

Although Colombia allows holding small guns, crossbows and staffs - but illegally selling Originium and not paying taxes to the Originium Management Association, that is a felony!

The few law enforcement officers in front of them are the Yanshi Administration Bureau, whose full name is "Tobacco, Alcohol, Surgery Unit and Originium Products Administration". They specialize in managing the illegal trade of such high-tax products.

In Colombia, there are many different law enforcement departments in various state capitals. It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a police state.

After coming to St. Foucault, Gaoqi and Scati wandered in the city for a while, and entered the most prosperous business district from the customs.

A huge mobile city is not one piece. Take San Foucault for example, there are more than 20 districts of different sizes and shapes, which are convenient for movement and separation. Each district is a mobile city.

As the center of the state capital, the governor, mayor and other people live in the rich and luxurious core urban area, and other divisions perform their own duties.

As a typical modern mobile city, except for the bottom of the mobile city, most of the power parts used to drive the movement of the mobile city, including the city on the upper deck and several underground floors, are assigned various positions.

In the industrial area, there are heavy industrial factories with thick black smoke—steel factories, chemical factories, and Originium refineries. All the consumable items from white to gold in the game are produced here.

In the agricultural area, there are various greenhouses, hydroponic farms, and large animal husbandry farms. Although it is impossible to meet the food needs of millions of people in St. Foucault, it also needs the support of surrounding mobile towns. , but at least ensure the ability to be self-sufficient in a short period of time.

The consumer goods division also occupies an area, where the daily necessities needed for life are produced, and there is even a staff store.

Of course, there are also residential areas, commercial shopping areas, and even entertainment facilities such as amusement parks and zoos. As one of the largest cities in Colombia, it also has the most luxurious enjoyment.

The most and the largest divisions are more than ten scientific research divisions, as well as top university campuses.

Santa Clara Valley, the research capital of the world, has hundreds of square kilometers in almost the core area. There are hundreds of research institutes and technology companies, and hundreds of thousands of related employees.

It can be said that everything in San Foucault exists for the sake of the most intelligent geniuses on earth.

Every moment, world-changing inventions and discoveries are possible, and the Colombian government will **** these research institutions to ensure that their patents are legally held.

This afternoon, Gao Qi took Skadi and bought a lot of things in the bustling business district - the customs, it must be connected to the business district, so that the tourists who come here keep buying and buying.

Gaoqi bought Scati a variety of Colombian specialty high-calorie fast food, beautiful new clothes, and also bought Scati a mobile phone to facilitate the connection between the two-nothing like spending money to hug himself every night Girls are happier.

Here, it is indeed different from the backward Sargon. It is an advanced civilized society of Terra, and it even feels a little cyberpunk.

Gao Qi can see billboards flickering in high-rise buildings on the street, sweeping robots walking around on the crosswalk, and even shopping guide drones suspended in shopping malls.

Indeed, just like the propaganda, this is Terra's paradise - of course, only for the rich.

According to the positioning coordinates sent by Kelsey, after shopping, Gao Qi took Skadi out of the business district and went to the edge of the city, which is inaccessible.

Here, among all the districts of Saint Foucault, are completely forgotten.

There are dilapidated buildings, streets full of rubbish, and the occasionally seen scaffolding has long since been rusted.

In the past, this place was also planned as a prosperous corner of San Foucault, but that was not known how many years ago.

The enthusiasm of the great pioneering period has been far away from here, and the developers have long run away, leaving only low-rise buildings and homeless wandering in them.

Although there is also the name of "community" here, the city government will present a plan for the renovation of the old city and a job placement plan for the unemployed every day.

No matter how reluctant to mention the name, the three-district street area is the slum area of ​​Saint Foucault.

There are homeless people who are struggling to survive. They don't have a permanent residence to provide proof, so they can't find a job, and there is no job to provide a certificate.

Of course, there are also such homeless people in other zonings, and there are also many people who are struggling to get by in low-end residential areas, but at least they still have a stable job and a place to provide proof of credit.

In addition to these three divisions, the homeless will be targeted and driven away by the local police in the city. Over time, they still gather here.

The district where Gao Qi is located is even more special. Even people from the other two slums are avoiding contact with the residents here——

This is the area where the infected live. Even though the Colombian government explicitly prohibits the establishment of a quarantine area for the infected, the invisible discrimination has caused the infected to move together spontaneously.

There is no paradise on earth. The moon in Colombia is not round. Every resident who has traveled thousands of miles to the Columbia area has a profound understanding of this truth.

There are many gangs, the fire continues, and people are dying every day. Even the guards are reluctant to go deep here, and the politicians even avoid talking about it.

Who would have thought that in the other districts less than ten kilometers apart, there would be so much festivity and excitement?

"I feel... this place seems a little deserted."

As an Agor, Skadi doesn't know much about the society of land people. Not long ago, she was amazed that she could see a crowd of people in the business district.

But now, even if she is as simple as her, looking at the deserted and desolate appearance on the street, and the conflict scene where the police just arrested the criminal, she still feels a huge sense of contrast.

She didn't know which of these two places was good and which was bad, but she still felt a little strange.

"This is Columbia, Skadi, you, no, we both have a lot to learn - I'll teach you slowly."

Sighing, Gao Qi felt some joy in guessing the facts, and some sadness when he saw the facts.

The most advanced city, what kind of bird, or what kind of bird, there is nothing new under the sun.

The world is still bad, and although it will not be as chaotic as Yanan, the people here are still suffering—no matter how strong the old hunter is, they cannot solve social problems.

"Let's go, don't think about it for the time being - Kelsey lives in this slum, I don't know why, but there is no navigation at all in this ghost place, it's really hard to find."

Looking at the blank space on the navigation map in his hand, Gao Qi knew that this kind of slum area with frequent fighting would not have the opportunity to enter the map data into the network.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, you can look for it slowly. Anyway, we often sleep in the wild, so just find a place to lie down."

Skadi wasn't afraid at all. He ate the last hot dog, with salad dressing on the corner of his mouth, and smiled at Gao Qi.

To her, this huge city is no different from the wilderness of Terra.

"Why are you in such a hurry to find that guy Kelsey, we can go a few days later!"

Whether it is advanced or backward, as long as Gao Qi is by his side, Scadi feels that this trip is interesting enough!

As for the woman Kelsey, she didn't want to see it at all.

"Hey, this place is different from the wilderness. If you do something out of the way, you'll be greeted by the guards—there's nothing to be afraid of."

Sighing with a smile, Gao Qi cheered up and took Scotty's little hand.

"However, maybe we can ask the local residents, for example—"

Saying that, a round pebble appeared in Gao Qi's other hand.

With strength with both hands, Gao Qi gently threw the pebble in the direction of the gaze that had been cast on him not long ago.

"Eh? Ah!"

boom!

Soon, with a small exclamation and collision, a small figure suddenly fell from a low green tree.

"Have you discovered it long ago—hehe?"

Falling from the treetop, the girl with long brown hair was a little flustered at first, but she quickly regained her composure, stuck out her tongue, and slapped the huge garden shears in her hand a little embarrassedly.

"Well, ma'am, sir, would you believe me if I said I was a gardener pruning street trees here?"

12. Kafka and the Outlander.

【pebble

The small stones that can be seen everywhere in Yanan can be used to throw them at people, which is thrilling and exciting. 】

Although Gao Qi is no longer afraid of the so-called five-dog slaughtering formation after becoming an old hunter in the later period, but when he first arrived in Yanan, it was very troublesome for Gao Qi to deal with two fellows at the same time, and the fellows with dogs were even more troublesome. Know how many times you've killed him.

Therefore, Yanan's small stone has become a good way to attract the enemy's attention and differentiate the enemy's position, and it is also one of the few non-lethal attack methods of Gao Qi.

The remaining weapons... throwing knives, poisoned throwing knives, napalm bombs, although the damage in the game is a bit pitiful, but in reality they are all things that can kill people after aiming.

Parvis is so awesome, no matter how talented he is, he was stabbed to death by Gao Qi with a throwing knife - people will die if they are killed.

However, it can be said that it is very convenient to use it to knock down a little guy who has been spying on him.

"This Miss 'Landscaper', I didn't know there were garden workers who would stare at us as soon as we entered this block-what do you want to do?"

Looking at the brown-haired Leboli girl in front of him, Gao Qi narrowed his eyes and showed a kind smile.

Although it looks dirty, this little bird's light yellow eyes are extraordinarily shining and full of vitality - he knows this child.

Not long after entering the slum, Gao Qi's sensitive hunter instinct has sensed a lot of sight.

Although the street was empty, every few damaged rooms would cast a line of eyes.

They may have managed to find a temporary residence, residents who are trying to work odd jobs; or they are guarding here, alert to other gangsters; or they are looking for innocent passers-by and robbers who find easy to bully robbery targets.

These gazes are either vigilance, fear or greed - just like the gazes that came from the windows when Gao Qi was hunting in Yanan Town.

Generally speaking, as long as there is no desire to attack, Gao Qi always ignores this kind of gaze.

Moreover, when the police of the Smoke and Stone Administration launched an arrest operation, these eyes disappeared instantly, a group of cowards.

However, among the hostile gazes, the last one left, not hostile, but more curious, on the contrary, stood out from the crowd.

Gao Qi just threw a stone lightly and easily knocked down the bird.

"Yes, why are you following us!"

Scatty stood beside Gao Qi with his hands on his hips, chewing the candy in his mouth and widening his big eyes, standing beside Gao Qi to cheer for him.

Although deep-sea hunters are aware of this kind of non-hostile person, they generally ignore it, but since Gao Qi has found her, Skadi must do something.

"No, no, I didn't follow you on purpose - I'm just an ordinary little girl, very ordinary."

Patting the dirty clothes on her body, the little girl with long brown hair stood up with a well-behaved smile on her face.

"I just...I saw that you were looking for a way, big brother, big sister, in this large area, map navigation is not easy to use, if you want to find somewhere, I can help!"

She tilted her little head, this girl Li Boli, whose height knew the position of Gao Qi's chest, stood up straight, patted her extra flat chest, and spontaneously recommended herself.

"Just call me Kafka. Not to mention other places, at least in these few urban areas, I know all the places, and I can take you to your destination with just a small fee!"

Looking at the two people from the ghetto in front of him, Kafka tried his best to behave well.

"This is not another region, but there are a lot of vicious villains in it. It's just the two of you, but it's easy to be robbed, and you might even lose your life! Even Tiaozi wouldn't dare to go deep here. ."

As an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of family meals, Kafka has lived in the low-level area of ​​the city since he was a child.

She didn't want to do the business of killing people and stealing goods, so she chose to be an intelligence dealer, independent of the various gangs, perhaps because she was weak enough, but she lived a good life.

Today, I heard that the Smoke and Stone Administration has launched another round of arrests, so Kafka naturally ran to the periphery of the slum and collected intelligence.

As a result, I saw these two strange faces and broke into the lower block directly.

Looking at the young white-haired girl, the large package of snacks in her hands, the brand goods on the two of them, and their unprepared actions, Kafka knew that the two were completely unaware of the dangers in the slums. .

[Ordinary citizens understand the dangers of street gangsters, this big tall man and this little girl... have no common sense at all, they won't be the eldest lady and the eldest young master of any company, no, they should at least have some bodyguards. . 】

No, to be precise, these two guys must be the eldest young master and the eldest lady from other cities.
