Chapter 2 Entering the Nightless City

When various architectural scenery appeared outside the window, Zorro Diop was ready in advance and waiting at the exit of the locomotive corridor.

The 17 or 18-year-old looks, he is over 1.7 meters tall, has a thin figure, soft facial features, a high nose bridge, and a golden split curly hair. His light blue and breathtaking eyes are just dry and wrinkled skin, and his outfits with faded short sleeves and inferior trousers are difficult to enlarge these advantages.

In front of him was a tall and burly man with a scarred figure that was a whole circle larger than his body, with a fierce and vicious face.

A few minutes ago, the Scar man appeared and glared at him fiercely. The four passengers, including Zorro, all retreated half a meter, leaving a large area for the Scar man himself.

Although he was a little unhappy, Zorro still chose to follow his heart, not to mention that he didn't want to cause trouble.

The steam locomotive is slowing down and the destination is coming.

The station building is old and the walls are yellow and black. The facade is divided into the middle and two wings, and there are three parts. The white columns support the top of it. The top is a large flat-shell roof with cracks everywhere. Two bell towers with European and American styles are symmetrically built on both sides of the roof.

There were many passengers waiting for the bus on the platform, and the staff were busy and busy, maintaining order.

Passengers of all kinds of dressed clothes lined up neatly, standing one meter away, either looking at the newspaper in their hands, smoking cigars with complex expressions, or lowering their hat brims, and looking out of the station from time to time.

"Drip~"

A crisp sound of a motorcycle whistle came from a distance, and a blurred snake-shaped black shadow appeared and gradually magnified.

With the sound of brakes, the motorcycle began to brake and slow down, and the speed became slower and slower. Soon, it stopped steadily on the platform.

"Sorry, let me go."

Zorro was at the front of the team, followed behind the Scar man, and was the second one, leaving the steam locomotive from the open-air exit between the carriages.

If the transfer passenger finds two bodies, he will report to the rank guard group as soon as possible. In any case, it is difficult for the area near the station to give him a sense of security.

The composition of the station is very simple.

Except for the old-fashioned station building, tracks, workbenches, and warning lights will not affect the surrounding environment.

Because there was no specific destination, Zorro did not try to find a map, but walked out quickly from a corner with loose crowds and gradually dense buildings.

The overall environment near the station is somewhat similar to that of the slums.

The old-fashioned buildings that can be seen at the sight, the rusty iron fences and the white walls have already turned yellow and black.

Abandoned warehouses, garbage dumps, waste yards, oil depots, embedded underground passages, dilapidated cement roads, open-air homestays, lying in them, with a few beggar-like people, with long and messy hair that cannot be identified by men and women.........

Is this really the future world?

Zorro murmured to himself in a melancholy mood. The landscape seen through memory is still different from the feelings of personal experience. The living environment here is even worse than that of European cities in the late 19th century.

In the distance, several huge chimneys like giant fortresses towered into the clouds.

The exhaust gas is released along the exhaust pipes to the obliquely above this area, and even the extremely thick dark clouds can faintly block the sun's exposure.

At this time, he had accidentally walked into the area of ​​a dense alley area, and all kinds of gang members around him looked at him like cheetahs.

It is impossible to know if there was any chaos on the other side of the station, but he did not dare to turn around anyway.

The terrain of the tunnel area is very troublesome, and the corner passages that can be seen everywhere are in the dim darkness that cannot be illuminated by the light. When Zorro happened to turn into this place, he felt that he was constantly adjusting his direction in the complex maze like a honeycomb version.

In the corner of the dark, several men who looked like gangsters walked by from time to time, looked at Zorro coldly.

At this time, two young men with hair dye were talking in the shadows, lit a cigarette each, and tattoos with black patterns appeared on their arms.

The content of the discussion was clearly captured by Zorro's ears and fed back to his brain. He had to praise the practicality of this eavesdropping ability again.

“Damn it!

That guy Dago just asked me again that I was asking for debt. Do you still have any extra change on hand? I may have some trouble if I can't pay it this Sunday. This time it's very serious..."

“Dago?

Brother Leopard, how dare you deal with that guy? Behind him is the Lion Hunter Gang, the men and women of Aud, even the secret stakes know that he is a trash."

"My brother just released, so I don't have to arrange for a celebration... Don't look at me like this. Yes... uh... yes, I know I'm stupid."

"Brother Leopard, don't blame me for not helping you. But I'm not well-off. I spent a lot of money in Verge bar last night and picked up a black girl. Hehe, that taste, my seductive legs are clamped..."

"Okay, stop. Jones, I'm not in the mood to listen to you talking about this, I just want to fill the debt gap now.

If I hadn't made up for this debt before Sunday, Dago's shit said he would break my leg. He never joked."

"Okay, Brother Bao, let's take a look at everything. I happened to come over there, and I looked a little unfamiliar. I looked like I was new from another place by a steam locomotive. Are you interested in getting something?"

"That torn clothes look poor. I guess I live in the suburbs and can't take out a few dollars. Forget it, I can still extort one by one."

.....

Hearing this, Zoro frowned. He didn't want to cause trouble here, but the trouble happened to him for no reason.

Two tattooed men have already walked towards him.

The young man called Leopard was wearing sunglasses and stubborn, holding his hands tightly, making a crisp "grizz" sound, and a dangerous smile filled the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, boy..."

As the distance between the three of them got closer, Brother Leopard even greeted Zorro.

Zorro did not hesitate anymore, looked at each other coldly, took out the gun from his underwear pocket, and exposed the front end of the barrel to the two gangsters, as if he wanted to pull out the gun and shoot at any time.

"gun!"

When Brother Leopard and Jones saw the pistol, their expressions immediately changed from ruthlessness to pale and fear. They raised their hands and retreated.

"Brother...No...Brother, we just want to communicate with you. Don't get me wrong. If you have something to do, you can communicate well and put your gun down quickly."

The face change is so fast, they are really two harsh guys. Zorro did not put down his gun, but asked with the flow.

“Where is the city?”

"Brother, you are new here. Hehe, this place is within the suburbs of the city. If you want to go to the industrial area in front, you will see Haolin Street, which is within the urban area."

The thick and rough-looking Leopard Brother was now trying to please Zorro in a tone of bird-like tone, for fear that the latter would shoot. In the suburbs of Wuye City, no one would give justice for him.

"Thanks."

Zorro lowered the gun but did not store it in his pocket. He was calm and vigilant, so that the other party would not easily cause doubts.

Seeing this, the two gangsters stopped staying in place and hurriedly hid back into the alley.

Staying in place for a while, Zorro hid his gun in his inner bag and walked towards the chimney with dark clouds.

The act of pulling out the gun was purely to scare away the two of them.

After all, it is just a robbery. In the words of China, sin will not lead to death. If he shoots and kills people without any scruples because of this matter, his heart will not be able to overcome this hurdle for the time being.

While waiting for Zorro to leave this area, he could still vaguely hear the vague discussion in the alleyway.

"Jones, you guy, almost killed me."

"Who knew that guy would have a gun!

Judging from his dressing, I thought he was a new foreigner, trying to make a way in Wuye City. This time I missed it, and next time I had to be careful and don’t lose my life because of such a trivial matter.”...

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zorro.

Only when he reaches the chimney area can he feel like a futuristic technology.

The exhaust chimney is hundreds of meters high and has a better width. The huge factory buildings visible to the eyes are everywhere, made of steel and cement, covering an area of ​​thousands or even tens of thousands of square meters. With his unusual vision, people can even be observed flashing in the transparent glass window.

What surprised him the most was the luxury sports car that drove into or out of the factory from the spacious road.

The body exudes a gem-like luster, and the shape is quite avant-garde. The curved taillights are concentrated together, and the indicator lights, brake lights and reverse lights are more like four large turbines. The body material is likely to use biofibers, which is very similar to the future cars that appear in science fiction movies.

If you have to make a metaphor, the appearance is somewhat similar to the concept car in the 21st century.

But by just the function of acceleration and mute, he can conclude that this is far higher-end than the sports cars on Earth.

In the distance, there was a train roaring and speeding past the overpass that was 100 meters high. In just half a minute, it disappeared from Zorro's vision.

The road outside the factory is actually very empty.

There were basically no pedestrians on the sidewalks on both sides.

Occasionally, a few men and women who looked like working uniforms, just looked at Zorro with a dull look, and soon passed by him.

During the conversation between the two factory girls, Zorro probably learned some content.

They are workers at the nearby "polytitanium metal refinery" and are responsible for one of the procedures of the assembly line.

These busy workers obviously regard themselves as a type of person, thinking that they are just a foreigner looking for a job.

Zorro looked around, and a sudden emptiness rolled up inside.

This situation is somewhat similar to the spiritual feeling of going to a big city alone in the previous life, and it is lonely and lonely.

He sighed and walked.
