Chapter 176 Capital of Shadow
Valkyrie showed his memory, and then suddenly realized, "It's your Colt. You once said that you gave it to someone. Is this zero? It turns out that you have had some contact with your father, but if so, why didn't you bring him back directly at that time?
"At that time, I was not sure. Although the wave energy of the sacred site was detected, the signal was so weak that it was negligible. So I gave Colt to him, and I installed a wave energy monitor on the gun, which will regularly feed back the data back to my personal brain. Until recently, the holy sign wave energy on Zero's body has a rising trend, which shows that he should be the experimental body of that plan. With the improvement of his ability, the power of the sacrament will become more obvious. Ben showed a meaningful smile: "As for the so-called third-party restriction clause, Colt on Zero has given us enough excuse to bypass this clause."
"So you have thought about this happening early in the morning."
"It's just to prepare in advance. I'm not a god. How can I know what will happen in the future?" Ben shook his head.
Valkyrie said respectfully, "I understand. I will extradite Zero in person. Don't worry. Father!"
After saying that, Valkyrie turned around and left. Ben looked at the zero photo on the screen and smiled, "We will meet soon."
After coming out of Windmill Town, the curved and broken road extends north. This road, which almost passes through most of the cities and bases along the coastline, was gradually paved 20 years after the catastrophe. At first, it was only a traffic road connected between several bases, but with the emergence of various bases, the demand for traffic made the scale of the highway bigger and farther, and finally divided the entire coastline area. To this day, this coastline road is still talked about like a miracle.
However, due to the lack of maintenance and construction, the highway gradually broke and other damage over time. But as long as the vehicle is still barely passable, no philanthropist will fund the construction of this road.
After six or seven hundred kilometers north of Windmill Town, a mountainous area will appear. From here, the surface said goodbye to the plains in the south and began to appear in the mountains in the north. After the cataclysm, the original continental plates either sank or merged. For example, the Central Continent is the original combination of the Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate, and the large cracks are left by the impact of the two plates.
The mountain territory area after the extension of the coastline road from the windmill town rises very abruptly from the horizon, which is the impact squeeze generated by the plate impact, which caused a change in the original land structure and makes the ground rise, but makes a lot of space under the ground appear. After dilution and precipitation, the polluted seawater will form precious usable water containing a small amount of radiation.
The urban base of the shadow capital is built on land in such underground waters. Due to the special stratigraphic structure, the city cannot be built underground. At the beginning, the developers of the Shadow Capital found that this area was rich in land water resources, so it gradually developed from the most primitive water purification factory to the current size of a city.
In turbulent times, water represents the continuation of life. It can be said that every area that can produce clean water resources must be a big city. The Capital of Shadows is no exception. The original developers were replaced by today's committee and became the ruling class of the city. Sitting between the valleys, the city can only be illuminated by the natural sky for a few days in a year, and the largest industry is the large-scale water purification plant that occupies nearly half of the city's area.
In addition to supplying the needs of cities, the purified water produced by the shadow capital is also sold to other cities or bases for huge profits. Obviously, the shadow is fleshy, and no one has thought about it. It's just a joke. It's just that the members of the Shadow Capital are very smart. At the beginning of the establishment of the city, they made an agreement with the Dark Parliament.
The shadow capital will become a legal city within the protection of the Dark Parliament, paying a certain amount of taxes to the Dark Parliament every year in exchange for the armed protection of the Dark Parliament. In the shadow capital, a bloody colonel and an elite force have been stationed for many years, suppressing any armed forces that dare to touch the city.
Because of the existence of the blood knight, the shadow capital has become an invisible equivalent to a shelter. Past business travelers or travelers can get a temporary rest here and rest at ease. Of course, they must pay much higher entry taxes in other cities.
It has been two days since Moni and Athesa came to the Capital of Shadows. In order to enter the city, Moni almost handed over all the money she had. After sleeping on the street for one night, the two relied on Moni to perform dance in the bar in the shadow capital to earn the cost of their accommodation.
While waiting for Zero to meet, Moni took advantage of her mother's spare time during the day and listened to any relevant news like a needle in a haystack on the streets of the city. Moni changes places every day to maximize the source. But so far, she has not heard any useful news, but has been harassed by many men with excess energy.
It's just that Moni has a gun and a knife, and men dare not fight casually in the shadow city, otherwise it will attract the intervention of the sheriff. Therefore, Moni didn't get into any trouble, but everything is absolute. In two or three days, many people have known that there will be a beautiful girl persistently looking for an important person on the street during the day.
Scythe Tyne is one of them, and he is one of the leaders of the Bloody Brotherhood of the Shadow Capital. The fraternity belongs to a semi-legal organization. Usually, some things that can't be put on the stage in the shadow capital will be handed over to them, and this fraternity is exchanged for the legal right to stay in the city. In addition to carrying out some official tasks, the Brotherhood is usually engaged in businesses with huge profits such as slaves and arms.
Among them, the beautiful slave is even more profitable than arms, so after personally determining Mony's appearance, the girl Tyne became a bag. Beautiful but young female slaves like Moni can sell at sky-high prices. But before selling her, Tyne wanted to taste her first.
It's just that he can't be openly kidnapped in the shadow capital, even if he belongs to the fraternity. Once found out, Tyne will definitely be regarded as a victim in order to maintain the justice on the surface of the city. He is not stupid, and Moni has an Atessa. That black girl is not easy to mess with. Therefore, Tyne designed a simple but effective trap.
"Have you seen this woman in the photo?"
In the street, Moni is persistently asking every passer-by with a photo. After getting another disappointed answer, she heard someone behind her say, "Well, I seem to have seen this woman."
Moni quickly turned around and stood behind a man with long gray-brown hair.
