Chapter 243
City No. 6, the vehicle market.
This day is empty and a day of rest. It is a good day for everything. From 8 o'clock in the morning, there has been an endless stream of shoppers at the door of the market, and the crowd has not retreated in the afternoon. On the contrary, there is a trend of increasing, which makes the bosses here laugh endlessly. However, among the many busy shops, there is no deserted place. For example, No. 103, the integrity shop of Old Bahru, which is known as the most honest, has not opened since morning. There is no one in such a large shopping mall, of course, except for the shopkeeper here. Barmuel lay on the light and appratic counter made by Jinggang. When he was happy, his two small tentacles often moved low, as if the willows roasted by the scorching sun were lifeless. Yang Liu couldn't restore it to life in an instant, but people could. Well, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The only possibility that makes his eyes shine is that the customer comes, in other words, the wrongdoer has arrived. He jumped up suddenly, as if the scaly appearance just now was a disguise, just to arouse people's sympathy. This agile hand, combined with his face, reminds people of a hero of the city defense team who died to protect the city, the eighth generation of residents, the father he has always been proud of. Unfortunately, the genetic factors inherited by this son are a little too biased. Not only is it not inherited from his skills at all, but it is far from his personality. Because the father is a hero, but the son is a profiteer.
This profiteer has always been wronged. He has a special skill, that is, the two tentacles inherited from his father. Although his real ability has been lost, he retains a basic function, that is, to perceive people's emotions, which has helped him a lot, so that he can make money after working in this industry. However, the ability of this tentacle is not very strange. It is much better than him, so the good times are not long. His fame soon spread all over the market, so his business is getting better and better. If he wants to change his kindness, there seems to be something he can't do. On the one hand, no one believes him. On the other hand, this greedy style has become a part of him and can no longer be isolated.
He quickly ran out of the open door and saw a girl in dark clothes and a backpack in the distance coming from the door of the market. The girl is seventeen or eight years old, of medium height, with a beautiful face, wearing short black hair, which is faintly red, and her black eyes are abnormally flexible. Although the dust on her face has not gone, it can also be seen that she is a rare beauty. Therefore, it is natural to attract everyone's attention as soon as she appears. However, everyone who looked at her was surprised by her dress. Her clothes are similar to the full-time maintenance staff in this market, much thicker than ordinary clothes, and the bag on her back is the same. The color is rustic, and the material is rough but not exquisite, like a beard pulling, worn by an uncle with a wrench. However, after careful observation, everyone found that there was still a little dirt on her feet, and there were traces of mud and water on her trousers, mostly in the wild. The sea of trees outside the city is safe, but in the wilderness far away, exquisiteness is synonymous with waste. Although this kind of clothing is ugly, it is practical, so everyone is relieved.
The girl frowned slightly and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the onlookers. She tightened the bag on her back and accelerated her pace. After a few steps and leaving the crowd, he saw Bahru standing at the door with a smile on his face and rubbing his hands. The girl sneered and then walked quickly. When she came closer, Bamuel grabbed her and pulled her to the store, saying, "Colins, do you want to buy an aircraft?"
Linx didn't say anything. She neither nodded nor shook her head.
Bahuel said, "Aha, that's great. Come on, come with me. The styles here are the best."
The two walked to the middle of the shop. Bamuel pointed to a two-length, three- or four-person wide, glittering small aircraft and said, "I solemnly recommend this to you. This is the main style this month, Star Diamond No. 8, also known as 'Your Majesty, I salute you'. Water, land and air use, strong body, high heat, high cold corrosion, high energy impact, etc. are helpless for it. A single charge can last for several years, can be driven in almost any weather, and the speed can reach an amazing eight million speeds, allowing you to fly from the outermost city to the Sky City within dozens of hours. If you fly at full speed at low altitude, the shock wave can destroy all the cities along the road... Haha, of course this is a joke.
"Well, it turned out to be made by a flatterer. His personality is not very good, and the things made will not be much better." Collins snorted in her nose and said disdainfully.
"Haha, you are prejudiced. The creators of many great works are not good. What's more, it was not the maker who named him this time. Bamuel laughed.
"How much is it worth?"
"The price? Haha, we are all old acquaintances. I'll give you a 9.9 percent discount and charge you 10,000 yuan. How about that?"
"Uncle Bahmeul, you just grab the money." Collins said. She circled around the aircraft several times. Bamuel looked at her nervously, but did not dare to detect her emotions, because although Collins was the tenth generation and had no great power, her perception was quite keen. Her two slightly sharp ears are proof of her ability.
Collins said, "I'm surprised, Uncle Bamuel. The space in the cabin of this aircraft is so large. Where is its power part stuffed?"
Bamauel first pointed to the head and then to the tail. Collins suddenly sneered and looked at Barmuel and said, "I said there won't be anything good about flatterers, right? Humph, Uncle Bahmuel, how many sets of power systems are there?"
Samuel laughed and said, "Two sets, one set at the beginning and one at the end, completely independent of each other, which should be enough for you to use."
"Hahaha, what can two sets of systems do? They are completely independent. Is this also worth declaring? Of course, they are completely independent." Collins sneered and said, "Uncle Bamuel, you should know that I often go out. This kind of thing does not have seven or eight independent power systems, and it may become a scrap metal at any time outside. What am I going to do with this kind of thing that can't get out of the metropolitan circle?
"Oh, Collins, you are exaggerating. Even outside the metropolitan area, it's not so dangerous. Well, you don't think this one is suitable. Let's change it again..."
"I'm not here to buy things, I'm here to settle accounts with you. I just bought one from you three months ago. Don't say you forgot it. Collins said, "What did you sell me? It attracted a large number of dull birds to chase hundreds of thousands of miles all the way. If I hadn't given up in time, I would have been dead now. After that, I walked hundreds of miles and was almost eaten by wild beasts. I was lucky enough to meet someone to rescue and escape my life. Uncle Samuel, did you treat your regular customers like this?
"Is that the case? Haha, mistakes, haha, I'm sorry, I've developed a habit." With that, seeing that Collins getting angry, she had to apologize repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, can't I compensate you for your loss?"
"Life is priceless, how can it be compensated? But you are also unintentional, so I'll let you go. In the next ten years, I will come to you when I need an aircraft.
"How much discount?" Bamuel struggled in despair.
"Ha ha ha, a few discounts, Uncle Samuel, you can also say this. Of course it's free." Collins smiled.
Samuel shouted sadly, "Free ten years, niece, you are killing me!"
Collins said with a smile, "As long as you don't give me a defective product, you can use one for ten years. What's so sad about you? Even if there is an accident, it won't be more than three at most. What's the matter to a big store like you?"
Baul smiled bitterly and said, "That's right about the big shop, but it's useless without business. It's difficult to maintain the use every month. If I give you this again, I won't live."
"There is really no business. It seems to be more deserted than the last time I came." Collins turned around, but no one came. Seeing that Bahmeul's face was hopeful, she said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you a discount at most."
There was a light of hope in his two small eyes, and he heard Collins say, "If your store is closed, the ten-year contract will be abolished."
Bahmuel widened his eyes and wailed feebly, "No way? Niece, you are so cruel."
"Uncle Bamuel, you should be happy now. If someone else encounters this kind of thing, do you think it can be so easy? You are already very lucky. What are you complaining about? Collins said that she was about to leave. Halfway through, she turned around and said, "That's right, prepare a Black Wind Model 107 for me. I'll come and get it at any time. Also, don't use other models to prevaricate me like last time, and there are no quality problems."
"Black Wind Type 107, my monthly income..." Baruel fell into grief. Seeing that Collins was about to walk out of the door, he couldn't care about sadness, and quickly shouted, "My niece, where has I lost it? If it's close, I'll go and get it back."
"Eight million miles away, the sending system is broken, but you should still be able to find it with the detector. If you have more energy, go ahead. Remember not to prepare the same aircraft as me. And be prepared to defeat millions of stupid birds.
Bahuel was shocked and said, "What? Eight million miles, what are you doing so far away? That's far away from the metropolitan area. It's too dangerous.
"Don't worry, I won't go that far in the future. Uncle B Samuel, I'm going back." Collins said and walked out of the store.
When she went far away, Bahuel thought of the aircraft again and said to himself, "There is no problem with energy. It's just millions of dull birds. Who can stand the suicide bird that hits at the sight of something? Oh, that's all. It's my bad luck."
Collins went out of the door of the market and looked up at the sky. This season is the softest time of the sun. It is gentle but not dazzling, and even the huge planets on the side can be seen clearly. She walked into a transparent pipe beside her, and her whole body was gently wrapped in a soft force from around her, and then went down the pipe. There are many high-rise buildings around. On the edge of the high-rise buildings, transparent pipes are crisscrossed everywhere, and there are all kinds of aircraft, just like insects in the jungle. Everything seems busy and orderly. Collins fell very fast. It only took him about ten seconds to get off the huge kilometer-high building and walk to the spacious street in front of him.
Collins's home is still far away. She could have gone back directly by aircraft, but she is going to wander around the city first and experience the urban life she hasn't had in nearly a year. The No. 6 city is quiet and peaceful, which is completely different from the dangerous excitement of the wilderness outside. She sat on a roadside bench for a long time, basked in the sun, and then stretched out comfortably and was about to leave. At this time, there was a low roar in the distance, and the position seemed to be outside the city, and then there was an equally low roar, which hid a few harshness, which seemed to make people feel cold. Collins suddenly stood up and said in emboze, "Space Beast."
After the sound, the aircraft in the sky almost suddenly slowed down, but most of them accelerated away after a while, and only a few changed their direction and flew rapidly to the place where the sound came. Collins pressed a button on the seat, and an aircraft in the sky quickly came down in front of her. The hatch opened, and a young pilot said, "Miss, where are you going?"
Collins quickly walked in and said, "Go to the place where the accident happened. Hurry up."
The aircraft immediately took off and went in that direction. At this time, the roar became louder and louder, and the roar became more and more frightening. However, the speed of the aircraft was very fast, and after a moment, they arrived outside the city. Seeing a large row of aircraft suspended in front of him, the pilot stopped in the middle.
The two looked into the distance. There, an eight-legged brown monster as big as a hill was raging, constantly hissing and spitting out transparent and blue mucus, almost rushed out of thousands of meters, and fell on the silver defense wall more than one-height on the edge of the city in front of it. Wherever the mucus went, it slowly sag down. At the same time, the black fog has evaporated, which is a manifestation of the corrosion of the special materials used in the defense wall. It seems to be trying to rush into the city.
Collins was stunned by this scene. After a long time, she said, "Why do planetary spiders appear here? This is the interior of the metropolitan area."
The young man in charge of driving said in surprise, "Don't you know? It's been several times recently."
Collins explained, "I haven't been in the city for a long time."
The young man suddenly said, "No wonder. Well, I don't know what happened. There are more space beasts all of a sudden, and the people above don't know what they are doing. He paused and said, "Well, maybe they don't take our lives seriously at all."
Collins was silent for a moment and whispered, "There's nothing we can do about it. Anyway, in the final analysis, we have no strength. Well, let's see how the people of the city defense team deal with it.
The driver stopped talking, and now the two looked at the battlefield in front of them.
"Fire, fire--" Someone shouted hoarsely. In front of and around the planetary spider, there are hundreds of battle aircraft with bright silver light, and dozens of black ground chariots, shooting countless beams at the same time, bombarding the abdomen of this huge monster, which is the relatively weak place of the planetary spider and the only place where the attack weapons they are using now may be injured. . The attack seemed to be effective, but it only made him feel pain. The planetary spider hissed loudly, opened its mouth and spewed countless mucus, spread into an acid fog, and eroded away to the attacker. At the same time, one foot made a heavy stroke, and hundreds of black lines shot forward in an instant. Its feet are covered with countless barbs. Compared with its body, it is just fluff, but for the city defense team in front of it, it is a dangerous attack weapon. This kind of burr is extremely sharp and strong, and the strength is great, which can easily penetrate their combat equipment.
On those chariots, dozens of people jumped out in an instant. Everyone was dressed in a silver-bright tight combat suit, with a palm-sized golden crown logo on the upper arm. Everyone was very young, and the largest one looked only in his thirties. Some people ran with a large particle in their hands. As they retreated rapidly, they released a powerful particle beam of light to the planetary spider. In addition, dozens of people carried extremely sharp black spears, and released silver light on their combat suits, forcing the acid fog to jump dozens of meters high one after another. The cover of the beam fell to the planetary spider behind. On the leg, when it arrived, the long gun cut off the barb on it, and then flew to stab the spider. Compared with the huge size of planetary spiders, these people are like flies surrounding people, looking over themselves. However, these people were extremely brave and powerful. In addition, the weapons in their hands were also the limbs of other space beasts, which were extremely sharp. At that time, the spider was stabbed several openings, and some green mucus slowly flowed out. After piercing these gaps, they did not continue to attack, but created more wounds, and the light beam behind it came directly to the previous gap and cooperated very closely.
But this planetary spider is not so easy to deal with. The constant pain on its body finally made it angry. Its attack method did not change, but its power suddenly increased greatly. An inverted thorn suddenly flew out, almost faster than before. Suddenly, a young man who stayed on it was penetrated and nailed to his skin. Above. The young man was extremely strong and tenacious. He was not stunned. He immediately pulled off the long gun inserted in the spider, cut the inverted thorn into two sections, pulled it hard, pulled it out of the body, and then shot heavily on the wound of the spider just made. At the same time, several other people were also frequently in danger, but did not relax their attack. . The spider became more and more angry and spit out acid in the air. Seeing that the acid was about to spill and could not hide, one person hurriedly greeted, and then everyone flew away at the same time and rushed to the city. The beam of light in front of them was deadly, and they hit the spider behind them. Although it didn't cause much damage, the spider's pace of progress was slowed down a lot.
Everyone ran to the defense wall and looked back at the planetary spider in the distance. They were still shocked. They just thought: They finally survived. However, once spiders are really angry, they can't resist it. At this moment, although they were not dead, everyone was injured. The man's chest was full of pink blood, but the wound slowly healed, which was a very light one. The other people are still bleeding, and the color of their blood is different. One of them is even green. The most serious one, whose neck was most broken, was quickly carried downstairs for treatment.
Dongshou wiped his long gun and said with a wry smile, "I thought that I would have a chance to take a vacation if I was transferred to the urban circle, but I didn't expect that there would be trouble here. It's too abnormal recently."
A sharp-eared man said, "I'm also tired. No, it's too bad. The next time we change the defense routinely, we have to ask for compensation.
"What are you thinking about? We volunteered to join the city defense team. Isn't it good to have a chance to fight? Others are still envious of us." The man sitting on the side was not injured, but there was something like a flame on the red hair on his head, and his face showed pain from time to time.
"That's true, but there must be a limit. There have been too many attacks recently, and we don't have a chance to rest at all." One person pointed to the wound on his chest, which was slowly healing and said, "Look at my wound. If it had been changed, it would have healed long ago. It has been several minutes at the beginning, but it's still this virtue."
"You are the seventh generation. It's good to have this ability. I don't think it's much worse than your father. I really don't know how you look like a freak."
"Hey hey, according to my father, my mother is also the sixth generation. Although her ability has not been passed on to me, it obviously strengthens my father's genes."
