Chapter Thirteen Little Wizard
The interesting little guy is just too young and too simple. He can tell everything after a little trick.
Several shadow-seekers looked at each other quickly. The little guy's words revealed too much information, but the more information he learned, the bigger the doubts he had.
Mechanical beast? Mechanical invasion? The little guy said so casually, and he was indeed used to it. It seems that machinery and humans in this world are seriously opposed, and there is not another human force behind it, but mechanical behavior spontaneously. But look at the city, there are many mechanical equipment, that is, this is an intelligent machinery? No, if it is intelligent, it will not be named a mechanical beast, it is a mechanical beast?
"Ha, it's totally safe. Indeed, order will be restored soon." Shur smiled thoughtfully, "But it's not easy to make a credit."
"Hey, you are not big shots on the black market, right?" The five young men looked nervous and excited. The girl licked her lips and said expectantly, "If this is true, then I should ask you for 10,500 credit points!"
"Ha? The little guy is getting more and more courageous." Shuer raised his eyebrows and said with a gloomy smile, "Even though we are people on the black market, we dare to extort us even more. Hehe, we even dare to attack the government forces. Are you not afraid of getting ten thousand credit points but losing your life to use it?"
"Wow, you did the tragedy in the regional outpost a month ago, and we have guessed it long ago." The little guy looked sly, "I'm not afraid of you. We are residents of the West Outer Ring District. You big guys will not destroy your tacit understanding for 10,500 credit points."
"But we can do something secretly. Look, there are no living people around you now, hehehe." Shul rubbed his hands and smiled like an evil gangster. "What no one knows will not destroy the tacit understanding."
"Ahhhhh, don't come over." A few young guys who were not yet adults danced and quarreled for a while, but soon calmed down, "No, you still have to rely on us to lead the way out of danger."
"Shul." Suff suddenly interrupted Shul's behavior of continuing to bully the child, "there is a voice."
"Well, there is another battlefield outside." Shuer had heard it.
As we walked through the path, the fierce fighting and the roar of guns gradually faded away. However, after walking for a while, the sound became louder again. It was obvious that we gradually approached other hunting scenes. Listening to the similar sounds, we could guess it. The occupation was not much different from what we saw just now. The human side was also at a comprehensive disadvantage and could suffer a catastrophe at any time.
"No, not this." Suff pointed to his side, "There are people inside."
The location referred to is the exterior wall of a building. It seems that someone was hiding inside and not discovered by a mechanical puppet.
"Mobak, be gentle."
"Okay." The dwarf suddenly became energetic, shook his arms, and the huge tower shield in his hand flew out in a rotating manner, hitting the exterior wall made of strange stone like a siege hammer. The tower shield filled with energy had amazing destructive power, and the solid exterior wall was knocked down. A few terrifying screams came from the dust. Fortunately, people still felt it was very self-conscious here. The scream lasted only less than a second and then came to an abrupt end, obviously covering their mouths.
"Wow, this set of personal armor is so powerful. I just saw it so short, and I thought it was a cut version. I didn't expect it to be even more powerful than the enhanced version. Is this the new generation of armor from the institute?"
"No, we modified it ourselves." Xiuer blinked mysteriously, pointed to the big hole where the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, raised his index finger and made a gesture to silence the older children, "Please keep your mouth in mind."
"Yeah." A few little guys nodded excitedly. At this age, he was most interested in mysterious events about underground organizations. He was even more excited to participate.
"Come out, we are humans, let's go together if you want to survive."
No, you are obviously a mountain elf, Shur looked at Mia with an unhappy look, but he still swallowed the words back with tactfulness.
It seemed that human language gave the people inside the courage. From the smoke and dust, two men and two women came out in dust. The four people were dressed more brightly than the five children, but now it was covered with dust and blood, making the four people look embarrassed.
"Original zone?" Mia asked coldly.
"Who are you?" A man looked like a small leader and said with the unique superiority of the upper class. "We are from the municipal research institute..."
"It turns out that they are not from the military, but from the bureaucrats of municipal institutions." The little girl lowered her voice beside Shuer, "These guys are even more annoying than the military. The military is just unreasonable. They are simply annoying. If it weren't for the reward, they would be too lazy to save them."
"How about you waive our rewards and I will help you kill these people? You are bothering them anyway."
"Wow, then I'm not losing double share. Uncle, don't treat us as fools, okay?"
"Hehehe." Several shadow-seekers burst into laughter. These little guys are really interesting.
"Shut up." Mia's reprimand was not targeting her teammates, but to the man who showed her identity in front of her. "If you dare to speak loudly, you will throw you out to attract firepower if you dare to speak loudly."
"Are you from the military?" Obviously, Mia's unreasonable attitude made the man misunderstand something, "What's the matter with your military? Will you let..."
"Who told you that we are military members?" Shur patted Mia's shoulder, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Praise the Holy Spirit, I..."
"Damn it, you are cultists who worship the Mechanical Cult." The other party's reaction was unexpected. The four people actually took a few steps back at the same time. The two men had already taken out their weapons, obviously full of hostility.
"Swish", a gust of wind blew, and the big sword passed by, the two pistols were cut into four pieces, the section was smooth, and even the bullets were cut open.
"We won't believe in any mechanical beast. We all have our own beliefs." Shure's smile was not stiff at all. "Don't worry, we are not enemies, at least not now. We are here to save you. As long as you cooperate enough, for example, each person pays 5,000 credit points, you can be rescued smoothly. Think about it, 5,000. Anyway, for the residents of your high-end district, it's only a small amount, and it's used to exchange a life. Do you think it's too cost-effective?"
"Hey, they are black market outlaws who want money but don't live." The four of them showed a crying expression. The man in the lead pointed at the five minors and said, "No wonder they were mixed with the residents of these low-level districts."
Tsk tsk, the military, municipal institutions, the mechanical education, the secret black market, and the West Outer Ring District, which is called the low-level area, the human forces in this world are really complicated. Shuer and his teammates looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were filled with helplessness.
"I don't like to hear your name very much, the official of the municipal agency." Shure's smile became dangerous. "I'm seriously considering whether to send you back to the place. Think about it carefully, this business is not that important to us."
"We pay for the money, a few noble traders." The face change was as fast as lightning, which was worthy of the title of bureaucracy.
"Come and collect the money." Shur hooked his finger at the little girl, "One person is five thousand, don't count the wrong zero."
"Everyone said, don't treat us as fools, uncle. Even if we can't count, can't we count the money?" The little girl protested, but her body was still very honest. She ran to the four people happily, took out a strange card and held it in front of the four people. The four poor victims' faces were full of flesh pain. Obviously, the five thousand credit points were not a small number as Shuer said, but compared with life, the four smart people chose the latter.
"I'll give you a discount, and you'll count it as one thousand five per person. Now you still owe me four thousand." When the little girl held the card and smiled, Shuer said gloomyly in her ear, "If you dare to embezzle our share, hehe, you will know the outcome."
"You tyrants are really as greedy as the legendary ones. You even need to squeeze out pocket money for children like us." The little girl held the card, looking like she would not give her death, and said in a low voice, "The West Outer Ring Zone is your ally in the black market. Do you have the heart to even black our money?"
"Of course I have the heart to bear it. Do you know why we call this name? It's because our hearts are all black."
"The credit point swallowed by me, Delia, has no precedent for spitting out." The little girl refused to give in. "Don't forget, you have to rely on us to lead the way. Humph, the credit point of 20,000 is just right. At worst, I won't find a way to cheat you more money, but let me spit out the money, don't think about it."
"Since you are so determined, then choose a compromise plan." Shuer pondered for a moment, "You can give all the money, including those who will be saved later. No matter how much you negotiate, you will be given to you, but as a price, you will be hired by us this month and be our guide."
"Guide?"
"Our whereabouts are relatively secretive and we are not very familiar with the city." Shuer didn't even need to blink. "We have to do something this month, and we just don't have a guide. How about it? Are you interested?"
"You won't have any intention, uncle." The little girl took a step back vigilantly, looking at Shuer's eyes as if she was looking at a perverted state, "I warn you, I am the spiritual leader of the young generation of the West Outer Ring District. All the children listen to me. If you are a profiteer in the black market, you will not let you have a good life."
"Then get the money back."
"Don't even think about it."
"Then accept the conditions."
"I'm afraid you have bad intentions, but my body is..."
"Then add another gun in their hands." Shul said to the four adults who were walking more cautious than the children. "Of course, the source must be illegal."
"make a deal."
