The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

As Leo predicted, Venaya Port, which had begun to accept mutant families before the world mutation occurred, is now regarded by the mutants as a holy place of salvation, and all those who have the ability to pass through various obstacles Mutants will all choose Venaya Port as a shelter.

According to the black market information, it can be seen that Venaya Port has indeed given these mutants considerable protection, which not only guarantees the personal safety of these mutants, but also gives these mutants what they do not have in other places. Special treatment, such as allowing them to return to normal human appearance without using their own mutation power.

This special treatment is undoubtedly very attractive to any mutant. Although due to administrative reasons, places like the United Kingdom have given mutants some administrative support so that they can live like normal people, but this is only At the administrative level, the discrimination and hatred against mutants among the people has never stopped or even weakened. Even mutants will discriminate against each other because of the recessive and dominant mutation status.

Therefore, most of the mutants themselves hope that they can return to the appearance of ordinary people and live like ordinary people, even those mutants who have gained great power due to mutation.

Now Venaya Port has a way to make mutants return to the appearance of ordinary people. This incident makes mutants feel as if they have gained the hope of rebirth, and Venaya Port naturally becomes a place for mutants to avoid. The sanctuary of choice for persecution and hunting.

Of course, some people will doubt whether the Venaya Port can really turn the mutants back into the state of ordinary people. The black market headquarters of the Vinaya Continent specially sent its most capable men to sneak into the Venaya Port to collect information. , and the result is that Venaya Port does have the ability to turn mutants back into ordinary people, but the success rate is not particularly high.

However, even if it fails, the shape of the mutant will change more or less and become more human-like. This is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for those complete mutants who have to use various means to cover their bodies The presence.

From the point of view of these complete mutants, even if they can't be turned back into the form of ordinary people, as long as they become like human beings, they will be satisfied.

Therefore, even though Venaya Port is not the one that accommodates the most mutants among the forces in the Vinaya Continent, in terms of area density, Venaya Port is the area that accommodates the most mutants in the Vinaya Continent.

According to the statistics collected by the black market, the current Venaya Port has accommodated nearly 40,000 mutants. In addition to the mutant family groups in the Venaya Port itself, the total number of mutants in the Venaya Port has reached six. There are more than 10,000 people, and the vast majority of these mutants have obtained various strengths of different strengths because of mutations, which also makes Venaya Port the city of Velen Continent that has the most extraordinary mutants.

It is not beyond the expectations of most people that Venaya Port can master the most extraordinary mutants. In their opinion, it is the most incredible thing that Venaya Port has not become the city with the most mutants.

However, somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, the second largest gathering place of mutants after Venaya Port turned out to be Lanxi's Cage City.

At the beginning of the establishment of the United Kingdom, the Kingdom also hoped to be able to manage the largest slums in the Kingdom of Cage City, and even the entire Velen Continent, and even promulgated many policies for this purpose, forcing businessmen in the United Kingdom to do something for these policies. Some coordinated changes, because of Rupert Fitz's astonishing methods, these actions of the kingdom did not cause too much resentment and rejection among the merchant class within the kingdom.

Originally, the kingdom thought that everything would be implemented smoothly, and the abscess in the core area of ​​the kingdom, Cage City, would soon disappear, but in the end, these policies stumbled on the beneficiaries of the policies.

The entire Cage City is willing to obey the policies of the Kingdom Government. Less than 1% of the people who move their families out of the Cage City, and the other 99% are unwilling to leave the Cage City, and prefer to stay in the Cage City. In small, dark, messy and even dangerous slums.

The reason why the residents of Cage City rejected the Kingdom’s good intentions was not because the various resettlement policies promulgated by the Kingdom could not be implemented in place. People in Cage City did not trust the Kingdom because they said one thing and did another. They have lived in the cage city for a long time, and they have adapted to the special living environment of the cage city. Leaving the cage city is like a fish leaving the water. Fortunately, they can find a puddle of water for a while and barely survive, while others can only survive. Struggling on the edge of life and death, either become the meat of others, or die in a certain corner one day.

In addition, the cage city is still a place outside the law. The laws of the kingdom cannot be applied to the cage city. The cage city can formulate its own laws and form its own law enforcement forces and troops.

Therefore, the Kingdom's policy of cleaning up the Cage City had to be abandoned. However, in order to avoid conflicts with the Kingdom and ease the relationship between the two parties, the people of the Cage City agreed to join the Kingdom's army to jointly resist the Empire.

These are all intelligence materials about Cage City that have been released to the public, but there is another piece of information on the black market, which shows that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rupert Fitz, is actually secretly controlled by Cage City. The Chamber of Commerce, the Cage City Labor Union, the Cage City Welfare Committee, and some underground churches controlled by him secretly controlled the Cage City with a population of one million.

Although the Cage City Reform and Clean-up Plan is nominally presided over by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, the actual executor of the plan is King Philip's confidant. Ended with a complete win for Rupert Fitz.

It is precisely because of Rupert Fitz's secret operations that the Cage City has completely become a semi-autonomous region within the kingdom, and the connection with the outside world is almost under control. Except for the workers, the others don't know much about the world outside the cage city, and the people outside the cage city also know little about the situation inside the cage city.

However, some forces that pay special attention to Rupert Fitz will still spare no effort to find out about the situation in the cage city. The black market is one of them. However, the internal control of the cage city is very strict, and it is almost impossible for foreign forces to gain a foothold in the cage city. Not to mention finding out any confidential information.

Fortunately, the black market has moved into Cage City a long time ago, and has established a firm foothold in Cage City. It also has some contacts with the upper echelons of Cage City. Important information about Cage City.

For example, Cage City has mastered a method that can restore out-of-control mutants to normal sanity, and for example, Cage City has already started to study family mutants before the world has undergone mutations, and its acceptance of mutants is far greater than that of Cage City. Other regions are higher, not even Vinaya Port.

It is precisely because of these advantageous conditions that are working in secret that the Cage City has become the second sanctuary in the underground world after Venaya Port. The only thing it is not as good as Venaya Port is that it is really Too messy and crowded.

However, even so, there are still many mutants and their families who escaped from Miria City in the north and chose to settle down in Cage City, which led to a rapid increase in the number of mutants in Cage City, and Cage City also used these mutants As the main body, formed the entire Vinylon Continent, and even the first all-mutant army in the Vinylon World.

It has to be said that the situation of mutants in the south of Velen Continent is far better than that in the north, and the worst environment is Miria City and its surroundings.

According to the information collected by the black market, from the northern end of the Dibia Mountains to the swampy area at the southern end of the Hanossa Union, the Miria City Pan-region, which occupies one-third of the west coast of the Velen Continent, can be said to be a variation of the entire Velen Continent. The area with the most victims is also the most chaotic.

In this area, the ratio of mutants to normal humans has changed from more than 1:30 at the beginning to more than 30:1 in reverse, which is enough to show that this place has become an area occupied by mutants. What's more serious is that more than half of these mutants are half out of control, or even completely out of control.

The normal people who still live in this area can be said to be miserable. They can only hug together to keep warm. The mutants who are not out of control and other people with extraordinary powers are the main groups, forming small forces similar to tribes. Resist the attack of out-of-control mutants.

It's not that these normal people haven't thought about going south to the United Kingdom, or north to the Hanossa League, but the policies of these two countries often change, and the acceptance of mutants is conditional, and because of the great plague, they also They don't want to take in refugees from Miria City, so as not to spread the plague to the country, so both countries have now sealed off the border.

Although the black market still has several offices in the Miria City area, due to border blockade and other issues, it is difficult to pass the news over there, so there is not much information about Miria City in the black market.

The intelligence files in the black market overlapped with the intelligence files of the United Kingdom. Leo didn't need to spend too much time reading and sorting out, he had already read all the materials in the entire file room, and the useful materials had already been collected by himself. in the brain database.

After that, Leo was about to leave the file room and go back to the hotel. When he reached the door of the file room and was about to open the door and go out, he suddenly stopped and took two steps back. Then he saw The door to the archive room opened from the outside, followed by a middle-aged man carrying a metal box.

"Filing, Rand No. 375 filing cabinet." The middle-aged man directly placed the box next to the staff, knocked on the table, and attracted the staff's attention, and then said without emotion.

When they heard the number of the filing cabinet mentioned by the middle-aged man, the staff in the intelligence room couldn't help being stunned. At the same time, Leo was also stunned because of the number of the filing cabinet.

When Leo was reading the materials just now, he found that in the file cabinet numbered with the name of Rand, all kinds of intelligence materials were far more important and valuable than the information in other file cabinets.

Afterwards, the staff quickly came to their senses without asking any further questions. They directly went through some prescribed procedures, opened the metal box, took out a stack of file bags from inside, checked the sealing wax on the file bags, and quickly put the The brief introduction on the cover of the file bag was recorded in a specific form. After finishing all this, he put these files into a small vacant trolley, pushed them to the prescribed filing cabinet, and put the files into it one by one.

Just after the staff put the last file into the file cabinet and turned to leave, Leo stood in front of the file cabinet, opened the cabinet, took out those files again, and scanned the contents inside again through the spiritual net. Read it again.

After reading it, Leo couldn't help but fell into contemplation, and began to think about the source of these intelligence materials.

The content of these intelligence materials is not any special secret information, but some extremely common political, commercial, military, and people's livelihood information that can often be seen in outside newspapers, and even one of the files is mixed with A complete newspaper.

However, these seemingly ordinary intelligence materials have become less common because of the current environmental conditions and the source of the intelligence data.

The contents of these intelligence records are not the affairs of any country or region on the Vinylon Continent, but what is happening in the Minsk Continent and the Mozambique Continent, and it happened only recently.

Because of the gray fog sealing the sea, the connection between Mosang Continent, Minsk Continent and Velen Continent has been cut off as usual, and it is impossible to obtain intelligence information from other continents.

But the fact now is that the black market has obtained intelligence materials from other continents, and these materials are all up-to-date. One of the Minsk mainland newspapers also mentioned that Her Majesty the Queen is very concerned about the development of airships recently. Content that intends to invest heavily in this project.

"They should have a way to safely pass through the gray fog on the sea." After Leo put these files back to their original place, he couldn't help but have a guess in his mind, because only in this way can he explain how these files came to Velen Continental.

Leo didn't think much about it. After restoring the file cabinet, he turned around and walked out of the file room. Although the door of the file room opened next to the staff member, he completely ignored it until Leo closed the door and left the file room. , as if he felt something, he looked at the door of the archive room suspiciously, but shook his head again, and returned his attention to the work in his hands.

Leo quickly walked out of the black market, returned to the hotel where he lived, and walked to his suite. At this time, Sylvia was processing the documents in his hand and playing with the two little guys who had woken up.

"Any gains?" Sylvia asked directly when she saw Leo walking in from the outside.

Leo nodded, and said without concealment: "I suspect that the black market has mastered a method to safely pass through the gray fog."
