chapter 282

Long Lin followed the traces left by the hastily fleeing teenagers, crossing the desolate and dilapidated wilderness and entering the reinforced concrete city.

When she was identifying the direction on the road, she happened to meet a small truck with "Tengda Cargo" written on the carriage in blue-green spray paint, passing by, so she jumped on the roof of the truck and hitched a ride.

The city's skyscrapers stand within easy reach, and each one seems to be accompanied by the clouds.The style is simple and full of cold modernity.Neon lights dotted the city like a galaxy, occupying almost all places visible to the naked eye, holographic advertisements are pervasive, even if you close your eyes, you can hear those passionate lines.

It is completely different from Tianshiyuan in 'Taixu', Long Lin thought silently.

Tianshiyuan pays more attention to meticulous design, and pursues the experience of flowing water. It expects people to smile knowingly after appreciating the uniqueness of architectural design, which is subtle and elegant.It is low-key and restrained, not as explicit as the city she sees now.

This is the City of Roses——after just 10 minutes of immersion, Long Lin has already fully remembered the name, it is like the roaring part of the skyship's engine.

Straightforward and efficient.

The truck quickly turned down along the city's viaduct, leaving the towering skyscraper jungle.

The body painting is incompatible with the city and belongs to another world opposite to the Rose City.

Long Lin felt as if she was sinking into the abyss following the truck, and the stretches of low-rise houses gradually replaced the skyscrapers, and the air was filled with a strange smell that seemed to be absent.

After walking in the cramped and dilapidated environment for a long time, the vision suddenly opened up.

A huge arch made of steel and iron stands tall and horizontal, with fonts composed of colorful LED lights flashing endlessly on it.

'Welcome to Wildfire Street! '

Advertising light boxes protruding from various shops complement each other and stretch behind the arches.The air became noisy in an instant, people's voices were buzzing, and people on the crowded road rubbed their shoulders, 'Big Bird', 'Golden Fleece Game Hall', 'Beauty Among Flowers', 'Longteng Boxing Gym'... Long Lin came from A lively scene that I have never seen before.

Her eyes lit up.

The small truck stopped in front of a shop. The driver, who was white and fat, jumped out of the cab and rubbed his hands excitedly, shouting loudly:
"Catherine! I'm back!"

There was no movement in the shop, the fat driver touched his head, muttered and walked inside, the neighbors greeted him warmly.

"Hey! Zorn! Want a drink tonight?"

"No problem! I'll please!"

"Zorn, are you going to brag about your brilliant story again?"

"What is bragging, it's all true! Believe it or not!"

"Where did you go this time? Did you fight the cyber ninjas in Liberty City for a hundred rounds, and rescued the fallen lady of the giant enterprise? Or went to the empty wasteland, and fought hand-to-hand with mechanical behemoths in the desert? What did you find?" Relics of ancient civilization?”

"Cut! Saying it scares you to death! I killed the king of the sea under the sea of ​​the hidden whale with a shovel, the former god of the sea of ​​the Sirbatunesor Magic Empire, but unfortunately let it run away when harvesting the spoils... "

"Come on, bragging Zorn, you're fishing and air force! You're still bragging!"

Zon blushed, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out, arguing, "If the fish run away, it can't be counted as an air force. They are all hooked... If they are hooked and run away, can they be counted as an air force?"

Then came some difficult words, such as "it's not too big, only thirty catties", and "I didn't buy it from the vegetable market" and other difficult words.

The streets and alleys are full of joyful air.

"Cut! You are just jealous. Where were you when I followed the Nightcrawler and charged ahead to kill the Co-Creation Society?"

"You can brag for the rest of your life!" the neighbors laughed.

Zorn said goodbye to the neighbors and walked into the empty trucking company's shop.The shop was empty, not even the lights were on.

"Catherine?" Zon called his girlfriend's name again, "Is she really not here? Where did she go..."

While muttering, he turned on the light, ready to lie comfortably on the sofa, to have fun in the cyber hook bar of 'Oasis Vision', and to comfort the pain of the Air Force.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, causing Zorn's fat body to tremble suddenly and he fell to the ground.

Years of street experience made him draw the gun from his waist almost without thinking, but the moment he saw the little girl in the front sight, he couldn't help but froze.

"Little... kid?"

Long Lin ignored Zorn's confusion, but tilted her head and asked cutely:
"Hey, uncle driver, do you know where there is food? Then where can I find reliable news?"

Zorn's vigilance softened slightly, and he asked seriously without asking how she came in:

"Little girl, are you lost with your family? Where do you live? Who are your parents? Are you hungry?"

Long Lin rolled her eyes and had an idea:
"Yes, I got separated from my family. Uncle, do you know where I need to go to get news about them? And I'm so hungry now."

Zon sighed, tapped twice on the back of his neck with his finger, and the illusory projection light curtain appeared in front of the retina.While looking for the emergency call, he said:

"You look like a tourist, right? Find the police officer on duty at the Municipal Police Department... No, no, the municipal government is unreliable. If you are on Wild Fire Street, it is better to go to the Night Walker. I seem to have the contact information of the Night Walker Welfare Home. Let me have a look……"

"As for food, there should be compressed nutritional supplements here, I'll look for them for you!"

Zon put a bag of instant compressed nutrition in front of Long Lin, and then distracted his attention to the projection screen.

"Okay, I sent a message to the strong men at the Nightcrawler Welfare Institute, they will come to pick you up..."

Zorn said as he came back to his senses, the little girl and the nutritional supplements in front of him were gone.

He froze, scratched his head and muttered:

"Damn it? Could it be that I have hallucinations? Or is there a bad guy trying to kill me? No, I have to tell Carl to let my cousin come back and protect me for a while!"

……

……

While Zon was still desperately planning to find his cousin to escort him, Long Lin had already left the freight company's small shop and stepped onto the bustling Yehuo Street.

"Bah! It's so unpalatable, do the people of Azure Star usually eat this stuff?"

Long Lin stuck out her tongue in disgust and threw most of the remaining nutritional supplements on the ground.

Soon a few withered hands protruded from the shadows, and they scrambled to divide up the nutrients.

Long Lin frowned and quickly took a few steps back.

"How could this planet be like this?"

Being so disturbed, she also lost interest in continuing to visit along the street.

After walking a little further, she remembered the name 'Night Walker' she heard from Zon's words, and decided to get straight to the point and go to 'Night Walker' to inquire about Xi Lang's whereabouts.

"But……"

When she looked around, she saw that the noisy hawking around her was mixed with the colorful and competing billboards.

Muscular hunks flashed in the open-air advertising projections, accompanied by the logo of the "Big Bird Keeps Turning" bar; sometimes the hawker shouted, "Collect game coins, unlimited gold coins for 'Oasis World', The ratio is 1 to 97, you can get as many as you want! The live transaction is fair and square!"

Long Lin walked away from the vendor and looked up blankly at the starry neon sign.

"Where can I find Nightcrawler?"

For the first time, she felt the discomfort after leaving 'Taixu'.

In Tianshiyuan's cabin, there were no people hiding in dark corners giving up on themselves, nor were there people occupying the roads and blocking the roads.How can people distinguish between so many neon signs? Aren't they afraid of light pollution?
At this time, someone suddenly struck up a conversation with Long Lin.

"Little sister, are you separated from your family?"

She turned around, and several naughty guys in leather vests were looking at her with sly smiles.

Long Lin pretended to be obedient and nodded, repeating what she said before:
"That's right, big brother, I got separated from my family, and I'm going to find 'Night Walker' to inquire about their whereabouts. Do you know where 'Night Walker' is?"

Hearing these three words, the faces of the ruffians couldn't help but change slightly.

However, the gangster at the head still stepped forward, nodded in agreement and said, "That's right! We know about 'Nightcrawler'. Can the big brothers take you there?"

Long Lin smiled sweetly: "Okay!"

The gangsters were overjoyed and almost jumped with joy, unable to hide the greed in their eyes.

The group of people walked towards the remote alley, and the gangsters had already surrounded Long Lin, blocking their retreat.

At this time, Mona, who had failed to steal the chicken before and lost the cutting tools he had bought with great difficulty, happened to be squatting bored on the side of the road not far away, beside a little white dog sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail.

"Woof! Woof!" The little white dog barked twice and tugged at his trouser legs.

"Alright, Hailiwei, I don't have the money to buy you snacks." The young man pouted his chin and said depressedly, "All the money I saved so hard was used to buy cutting tools, and we have to save money for the next few months." Live frugally.”

"Wang!"

The little white dog barked at him, then ran away on its short legs.

"Wait for me!"

Mona quickly stood up and followed the direction the little white dog ran away, just in time to see the scene where the little girl was being taken away.

His face changed drastically, "That's a member of the Zhengyuan Gang. It's bad. That girl wants to...!"

Without thinking too much, Mona, with a figure like the wind, rushed into the alley with three steps and two steps at a time, and shouted:
"No one is allowed to move, 'Nightcrawler' Mona is here!"

……

Long Lin gently stood on her tiptoes, deftly avoiding the small puddles of blood on the ground.

The narrow alley behind her was already filled with tragic scenes. The gangsters were lying on the ground with their heads missing and the fear of death still on their faces.

The young man happened to see this scene when he rushed in and shouted, and the sudden shout made Long Lin stop and turn around slightly.

"No...no..."

The boy Mona's shout seemed to be blocked by something in his throat, and he stared wide-eyed as a head rolled to his feet.

His whole body didn't tense up, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

died!

all dead!
How long has it been? Was it even half a minute?
Looking at the little girl in the middle of the pool of blood who was as spotless as a lotus in clear water, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was: I was careless, there was no flash.

Long Lin approached with great interest, and recognized the boy as one of the three people outside her aircraft.

"You're 'Nightcrawler'?" she asked.

Mona trembled her lips and answered tremblingly: "Ah! Yes...yes...yes, oh! No, no, no, no, no...is it?"

Long Lin smiled. When she stood up, she was only a little taller than the young boy kneeling now. She took out the shrunken cutting tool from her hand, enlarged it, and handed it to Mona:

"This is what you lost. I picked it up for you."

Mona's mind went blank, and she subconsciously reached out to take it: "Thank you, you are quite a nice person."

Then his pupils shrank suddenly, and his body trembled even more:
"Ah! No thanks...no! Thank you very much...not right..." He was completely speechless, so he bowed his head and bowed. "In short, please forgive me! I'm blind, my eyes are bad, and I can't see anything!"

"Wang Wang!"

The crisp barking of the puppy came from far to near, accompanied by a burst of chaotic running.

"Mona, we're here to save you!"

"You weren't beaten to death by the ruffians of the Yuan Gang, right?"

The other two young companions, followed by several adults from the Nightwalker Welfare Home, rushed into the alley.

Mona was overjoyed and couldn't help but shed two drops of tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Stop."

A steady voice stopped the teenagers, and Major Wood, the current acting director of the orphanage, walked into the alley.

After seeing the situation clearly, he frowned and asked Long Lin:
"who are you?"

Long Lin turned her head away, and crystal tears burst from her eyes.

"Wow woo woo woo! It's scary! woo woo woo, someone help me..."

Wood looked at Mona suspiciously, then at the teary-eyed little girl, his brows were twisted into the word 'Chuan'.

"Let's all go back to the orphanage first, I will notify Dean Luna to come over and deal with the situation."
