The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo's irritable tone and displeasure at this moment, let alone Nelson, even the dullest Jason could feel it.

Nelson knew very well not to get close to Leo now, otherwise he might be called a punching bag, so he cunningly took advantage of Leo's advice and went to a simple shack at the corner of the cage city to find someone to ask about things.

As for Jason, he said to Leo foolishly: "Your temper is the same as my mother's. There are always a few days every month when you suddenly..."

"Jason, do you believe that I can knock out all your teeth with a slap?" Leo turned his head and looked at Jason coldly, and said in an extremely cold tone: "I hope you answer no, because then I have An excuse to beat you hard."

Sensing that Leo wasn't joking, Jason immediately closed his mouth, shrank his neck, and stood aside without making a sound.

Leo also felt that his emotions were really wrong at this moment, which also made him a little troubled. He thinks this should be some side effects of memory fusion and emotion generation, and a little bit of negative emotion will be amplified under the influence of side effects, but he has no countermeasures to solve this kind of problem for the time being, and can only wait for him to adapt to the emotion he has now. After life, this side effect will naturally subside.

"I just asked. A week ago, there was a dispute between the factory union and the workers' association here. The workers blocked the entrance of the apartment city with steel plates." Nelson, who had already asked about the situation, ran over and introduced Then he pointed to a steam lift not far away and said, "If you want to go in, you have to take the steam lift."

"Well! Let's go!" Leo nodded and said simply.

The three of them quickly came to the steam lift. The lift was about ten floors above the head, and there was no one around. Just when the three of them were thinking about how to make the lift come down, a horn sounded next to the support of the lift. Talking voice, said: "Go back! Our president will negotiate with your factory association representatives tomorrow, and we will not have any negotiations with you today."

The inexplicable sentence made the three of them stunned. They glanced at each other. Nelson immediately took a few steps back, and stopped when he could barely see the floor where the elevator was located. Shouted: "Hello! We are not from the factory, we are from outside, here to find a friend."

After Nelson yelled loudly, after a while, a voice came from the loudspeaker: "Pick up the microphone and speak, right next to you."

At this time, Nelson saw that there was a small horn made of wood wrapped with iron sheet hanging under the horn, so he stepped forward to take it down, not knowing what to do.

Leo on the side couldn't stand it anymore. Although there were no such things as telephones in the Earth Federation, he still knew the general shape and usage of this thing from some old movies, so he reminded: "Speak into that horn. .”

Hearing Leo's suggestion, Nelson put the small horn mask on his mouth, pressed it firmly, and then said loudly what he just said.

"You don't need to be so loud, just whisper it." The voice came from the speaker, taught Nelson a lesson, and then asked, "Who is the friend you are looking for?"

"Catherine, Catherine Nightingale." Nelson said immediately.

After reporting his name, the other party did not reply for a long time. Nelson looked up in confusion. At this time, Leo, who had very sharp eyesight, saw the situation clearly, and answered Nelson's doubts: "He went into the building. , should be to ask if the person you are looking for is here?"

As he said that, Leo suddenly had a strong curiosity. Although he could suppress the curiosity caused by the negative influence, he still decided to follow his original intention and asked Nelson directly: "Listening to the name is a woman?" , Is she your girlfriend when you were studying in college?"

"This...how is this possible! I...I..." Nelson immediately denied it fiercely, as if he didn't know what to say, as if he was in a panic, and his face didn't know whether it was because of excitement or shyness. It was flushed red, like a boiled shrimp.

"Should be in love with that Catherine." Even the dullest and most stupid Jason could see the situation at that time from Nelson's performance, and said mercilessly: "But judging by your current performance, even if the other party doesn't find a man , I'm afraid you shouldn't be playing."

"You..." Nelson was speechless at Jason's words, and in the end he could only grit his teeth and yell at Jason, "Shut up."

Jason shrugged with a smile, and didn't provoke Nelson any more.

With no provocation, Nelson quickly regained his composure, but he was very anxious because he was never replied to. He couldn't help but think of the joke Leo said to him just now. Maybe Catherine died a few years ago. Dead, which made him very irritable, walking back and forth non-stop.

After walking back and forth a few times, Nelson finally couldn't stand the waiting, and asked Leo, "Leo, can you help me up..."

"No need! Someone is here." Leo interrupted his request, pointed to the top, and said.

Nelson looked up, and could see a vague voice sticking out his head from above, looking down, and then heard a slightly hoarse emotional voice from the speaker, saying, "Who is Professor Victor's underwear?" Take it, where did you put it in the end?"

Hearing this voice, Nelson's anxiety immediately subsided like a tide, and a joyful smile appeared on his face, and he said without thinking: "Professor's pants were taken by Jeff, and they were finally put in the library's wisdom room." on the lion's head."

"Haha! It's really you, Nelson, long time no see!"

As the woman's voice came from the loudspeaker, the steam elevator overhead began to slowly descend. It soon reached the bottom, Nelson couldn't wait to go up, Leo and Jason also followed.

After a burst of shaking, the elevator slowly rose, and reached the tenth floor in less than a minute. When rising, both Nelson and Jason became very worried and fearful. They couldn't help but grab the things around them, and their faces turned pale.

When they reached the tenth floor and the iron door of the elevator was opened, the two couldn't wait to see the environment inside the floor, so they couldn't wait to jump out of the elevator. After feeling that their feet were on the ground, they both heaved a sigh of relief and showed their faces. A look of lingering fear.

Leo calmly walked onto the platform specially built for the lift, looked at the people standing in front of him, and instinctively collected the surrounding environment data into his sub-brain, and simulated an optimal attack plan in his mind.

"Nelson, it's great to see you here." In the crowd, a mature woman with curly brown hair and wearing a blood-blue lady's apron stepped forward quickly, hugging Nelson in her arms without hesitation. into his arms and said very kindly.

The intimate behavior of the mature woman not only made Nelson a little at a loss, not knowing where to put his hands, but also surprised Jason and the others around him, and several of them even whistled.

"Shut up! We're all gone, this is my old classmate, you know?" The mature woman let go of Nelson, yelled at the people behind her, and shook her fist.

Those people laughed and dispersed immediately, leaving only two guards of the elevator standing by the fence to monitor the movement below.

"These two are..." Catherine didn't immediately ask Nelson why he came, but looked at Leo and Jason. It was obvious that she couldn't feel at ease with Leo and Jason like she was with Nelson.

"This is Leo Dodd, and this is Jason. They are my companions." Nelson introduced the two and explained their relationship, but perhaps felt that the companions were not appropriate enough, and added: "And Comrades."

"Brother-in-arms?" Catherine was stunned, looked Nelson up and down, and said with an unbelievable expression, "Are you on the battlefield?"

"College mission." Nelson smiled wryly, then his face became gloomy again, and he sighed, "It's a pity that it failed, and several of my students died on the battlefield."

"Is it the war between Britain and France in the Bretui region?" Catherine seemed to be confirming to Nelson, and seemed to be talking to herself. Then she raised her hand to stop Nelson from speaking, and said, "This is not a place to talk, come to my to the clinic."

After finishing speaking, she turned around vigorously and walked into the hall in front of the elevator, and walked up from a welded hanging ladder on the side, and the three of Nelson followed quickly.

After a group of people walked more than ten floors along the hanging ladder, they came to a bustling market inside the building.

The originally very dark market is full of oil lamps so that even if it is not as bright as outside, it is still enough for people to see the scene inside the market clearly.

I saw that this market was transformed from a two-story building. Small shops like square boxes divide the entire first floor into blocks. Those who have money can rent these small shops, and those who have no money can go directly in the aisle. Set up a stall.

There are many and miscellaneous things sold here, ranging from general food, to daily necessities, to various weapons, and there are also some mechanical parts whose functions cannot be understood, but the most traded items are unprocessed crude oil. In an environment like Cage City, it's sad not to have lights.

There are a lot of people in the market, most of them are wearing workers' clothes, only a few of them are wearing some leather trench coats that are deliberately cut to look weird. These leather windbreakers seem to be managing the entire market, patrolling back and forth in the market, although they did not show their weapons, but judging from the shape of the bumps on the windbreaker, everyone should be equipped with a short knife and crossbow, it seems that they should It is the standard equipment of a cage city gang.

Catherine seems to have a lot of prestige here. Not only the workers who come here to buy things will salute when they see her, even the merchants who sell goods will stand up and salute, and even those gangsters who look rebellious Members also bowed their heads when Catherine approached.

"It seems that you have a very high status here!" Nelson couldn't help saying when he saw this scene.

Catherine responded flatly: "I just saved some people, and you will be like me when you come here."

As she spoke, she led the three of them into the alley at the corner of the market and came to the end of the alley. There is an open door here, and when you walk through the door, you will see a very large room. This room is almost the same size as the previous market. The interior is very clean and hygienic. The beds are neatly arranged in the room. Each bed They are all separated by white cloth, and there are more oil lamps hanging here than in the previous market, which makes the light in the room very bright.

"Teacher, the patient in the seventh bed has relapsed again." In addition to many patients, there are many men and women dressed as doctors in the room. Among these people, a woman dressed like Catherine walked quickly when she saw Catherine walking in. Stepping forward, he said anxiously.

When Catherine heard the words, she didn't bother to greet Nelson and the others, and trotted to the seventh bed, took out the medical equipment, and carefully checked the patient's condition.

Seeing such a scene, Nelson couldn't stay idle. He quickly picked up his medical bag, walked over quickly, and cooperated with Catherine to examine the patient.

After Nelson left, Jason looked around boredly, found a chair and sat down.

Leo walked around and looked around. Also according to the habit, the first thing he noticed was the location of the doors and windows of this big clinic and small hospital.

The door they came in just now should be the back door. The main door is directly opposite the back door. There is also a white cloth to separate the inside and the outside. Although the room is sealed, it does not make people feel stuffy. It is related to the ventilation pipes rolled out of the iron sheets in the upper corner.

It's just because the outside air is industrial waste, even if it is introduced into the room by the ventilation pipe, the air in the room is still very bad. Under such a bad air environment, the patients here can still be cured, except for these people's physique. In addition to being strong enough and lucky enough, Catherine's medical skills are also inseparable.

After the surrounding environment data was entered into the sub-brain system, Leo went to a small open room next to the main entrance, and saw various dried herbs and animal specimens in this room.

After taking a glance, he was about to turn around and leave, but he stopped, and his eyes fell on a hard black object that looked like an ordinary stone on the table.

Suspicious, Leo stepped forward to pick up the stone-like hard object, and saw a message from the sub-brain system, saying: "I found a high-energy substance. The energy level is too low to absorb."

After getting the answer he wanted, Leo put down the hard object, looked at some dissection tools on the table that hadn't been wiped clean, and then looked at the dismembered mouse-like animal limbs in the trash can next to the dissection table.

Leo suddenly smiled, and said to himself: "It seems that this day will not be boring."
