Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 7 The Uninvited Guest

Since the establishment of the capital of the sky, biochemical experiments have become the top priority of the city's scientific research direction.

No one understands why the scientific researchers gathered here (commonly known as white coats) did not focus on advanced materials or the development of superpowers, but spent a lot of money tossing those poor experimental animals.But no matter what, the white coats have done this. They have created a large number of inexplicable biochemical experiments in the past ten years, such as the biochemical orangutan that can smash skyscrapers with a single slap, and the biochemical crocodile that can crush diamonds. A biochemical slime capable of unlimited reproduction...

90% of these green things only bring troubles to the citizens, and the remaining 10% enrich the lives of superpowers in a certain sense, such as the new type The horse-drawn carriage, the sewage plant that uses the biochemical meat wall to treat organic matter, the loyal and reliable biochemical three-headed dog...

And the bird bus that takes citizens soaring high in the sky.

"King Morton's beard..."

Alice couldn't help expressing emotion again. The middle-aged staff who had just sold out the tickets seemed to mistakenly think that it was a compliment from the foreign lady in their native language.While grooming the white feathers of the pigeons, he talked to the new customers: "What a bird! Does this lady think the same?"

The hunter nodded awkwardly: "The feathers are beautiful."

"It's not me, the big pigeon is the most friendly bird of ours!" The uncle spoke with a strong imperial northern accent, "White bird is good, there are not so many fancy colors. We also have the big white phoenix here." Head parrot, if you are interested, I will take you to the next building to have a look."

Alice had to admit that for a moment she was aroused curiosity, after all, who wouldn't want to see such a big parrot.

But before she had time to ask—she would never waste time, she was really just asking out of curiosity—Gongsun Ce on the side answered for her: "No thank you, I have to go to Dingyi area for a while , we are in a hurry."

"Okay, let's fly right away. Do you still need a helmet and a windbreaker?"

"I don't need it, just get a set for this lady."

The staff installed a set of equipment similar to a saddle on the back of the pigeon, and Alice put on the equipment for flying, pointing to the back of the big pigeon.

"Fly on the back of a pigeon?"

"Sit on the back of a pigeon and fly."

·
Ten seconds later, the big pigeon spread its wings and flew into the sky, leaving behind a few huge feathers and the scream of a certain hunter.

"ah--!"

Her field of vision rose rapidly, shifting to a height even more thrilling than the top of the building.

The airflow above the city penetrated through the gap of the helmet, making Alice smell different from usual.Reason told the hunter that the composition of the air she came into contact with was not fundamentally different from what she breathed on the busy street below, but the white wings seen on both sides of the field of vision and the overlooking street scene peeped through the gaps in the feathers made her feel this The air is exceptionally fresh.Just as Alice was about to say something, she realized that the front was occupied by a piece of pure white: a towering giant tower was blocking the path of the big pigeon, and she was flying at a high speed like a huge wall in her eyes.

Seeing that the two of them were about to crash just after taking off, the old passenger Gongsun Ce sent a signal to the pigeon.The big pigeon leaned its body and flew past the side of the giant white tower, avoiding the worst outcome.

"What is this?!" Alice asked in a loud voice.

"It's the thorns." Gongsun Ce replied behind her, "We are in the thorns area now, and the giant white tower is the symbol of this area."

The hunter suddenly remembered the knowledge he had learned on the road before he came.It is said that the spine area is a rare place in the capital of the sky where a large number of dragons are preserved. Hundreds of bone spurs have been erected from the ground where the dragon's spine was once, and they stand upright due to an unknown mission. Modern technology is helpless against them. Even a high-vibration particle knife can't cut even a little powder from these thorns.

Alice thought she would see several meters long and wide bony spurs erected on both sides of the road, like white telephone poles.But now she looks into the distance with her own eyes, and what she sees are huge white towers rising from the depths of the earth, extending to the top of the sky of this flying city, like the Tongtian Tower in myths and legends.

"My God..." Alice sighed in a low voice.At this time, she finally realized how ridiculous her past imagination was, and realized how insignificant human thoughts are in front of the existence of dragons.But at the same time, she also felt rare excitement and joy, because this was a sight she had never seen before... a spectacle that most people could never imagine in their lifetime.

At this time, a strong wind pressure hit, blowing her body backwards.Alice originally planned to use some "tricks" to solve the problem, but she immediately noticed that the wind pressure had weakened, as if an invisible barrier had appeared beside her.

She looked at the young man ahead.

Gongsun Ce sat upright on the pigeon's back, forming a wonderful contrast with her looking around.The young man's voice seemed distorted in the howling wind: "Passengers who are less capable or less courageous will choose to take the slower and more expensive aerial vehicle, and sit directly on the back of the bird to have the confidence to arrive safely. Only people with the ability to do this will choose the method, and the lessor will not be held primarily responsible in case of an accident. I guess you should have your own method, but it doesn’t take much effort for me to cover one more person.”

"Hello gentleman, I'm going to have a crush on you."

"I took it as a compliment."

Alice simply took off the helmet, letting her blue hair float in the air.

She looked down at the buildings that looked like models in the sky, and looked down at the passers-by who turned into black dots.The city on the dragon's back is so huge that all she can see is a different street scene, not the end of the sky capital.

The hunter slowly stretched out his hands to the sides, feeling the blue with his skin.

She has never been so close to the sky.

Gongsun Ce wanted to remind the passenger not to be too self-willed and beware of falling, but before he could say anything, he heard a burst of laughter like silver bells.

The laughter sounded so cheerful, so joyful, like a child on a trip, it was hard to imagine that it was the laughter of a hunter in the other world.

"You are very happy."

"Ahhh, it's... so happy. It's like something out of a fairy tale! I never thought I'd be flying in the sky on a pigeon!"

"I thought you, as an old hunter, should have some sort of undead horse mount."

"What do you think of impermanence. There are things that fit your description, but if I can afford that, why should I work in the Wild Hunt?"

Alice looked at the sky dreamily.

"so happy."

Unconsciously, she repeated what she had said just now.

"It's the happiest moment of my time... no, maybe it's the happiest moment since I was born."

The superhuman wanted to turn around, but was stunned when he heard this.

Only then did he realize that the daily scenery that many residents of this city are accustomed to may be a precious experience only once for people from outside.

Was what he heard the woman's heartfelt emotion?
He didn't have Alice's extraordinary intuition, so he couldn't judge the authenticity without any basis, but he was willing to believe this, and believed in the true feelings contained in this exclamation.

"Then enjoy it."

Therefore, he no longer made teasing words like before, but just responded blandly and without practical meaning.

The silence between the two lasted for tens of seconds, and the young man guessed that maybe Alice was still immersed in her thoughts just now.

After a few more seconds, a voice came from behind him: "Are you mentally prepared? The next thing to do is a life-and-death battle."

"I've realized it a long time ago. But Miss Alice, are you ready to trust me to a certain extent? Forgive me for such things as holding each other back in battle and being killed by dragon worshipers." .”

"Oh, big sister, I'm a mature social person, and I'm not the same as you, a college student." Alice grabbed his shoulders, "We agreed to cooperate and that's companionship! Don't blame me for using you as much as you want~"

"To each other, please don't forget that I also have the right to ask you to do things."

"Come on, you're not a gentleman at all!" Alice curled her lips, "Okay, be serious. During the time before landing, I will tell you about the enemy's intelligence this time, and expand on impermanence. Common sense of the law..."

The big pigeon flapped its wings and flew over the thorny area during the conversation between the two, and came to the sky above the central area where there are many colleges.It followed the guidance of the chip in its brain to choose a suitable route, turned its head towards the left side of the dragon, and soared towards the fixed-wing area on the left wing of the dragon.

·
Rows upon rows of commercial buildings hide flat and low residential apartment buildings. The shops on both sides of the street are mixed with dojos or martial arts halls set up by masters from all over the world. The traffic lanes in the air are moving rapidly with the changes of traffic signals, so as to alleviate the traffic pressure during the evening rush hour as much as possible.

This is the fixed wing area, the left wing of the capital of the sky, the city's second largest residential area and the location of the city's largest port. The transportation hub that handles countless goods every day is located on the edge of this area.It is 5:43, which is the time for students to leave school.Traffic arteries are in a mess, biochemical horse-drawn carriages, large trucks, and sports cars are crowded to the death on the road, energetic superpowers on the sidewalk are riding fireballs and lightning, and single-person airships produced by the United States and a few people with the ability to fly Those who come and go are above the heads of the crowd.Gongsun Ce and Alice just jumped off the back of the big pigeon 30 seconds ago, and now they are running quickly to the position displayed by the transmitter, blending into the crowded crowd in this fast-paced city.

"Has Mr. Adorer moved?"

"The signal shows that he is still in the area we locked. Either he is convinced that he has completely got rid of the tracking and is resting, or he has discovered the transmitter and is going to set a trap in reverse. I hope it is the former."

"Is there really no problem with your transmitter, which only responded after ten minutes after installation?"

"I'm sure he ran to the sewer or underground earlier, ah no dragon's belly, I don't know what you call it, anyway, the place under the feet is hiding, otherwise why would there be no signal!"

What a cheap sender!Therefore, technology products outside the city are like this, and they cannot be trusted at all!
Gongsun Ce glanced at the map and planned the route in his mind.

"That's the port area for unloading. We can get there by crossing the overpass in front. Gogogo!"

They were running on the overpass, and the dynamic screens on both sides of the aisle were broadcasting the evening news: A batch of precious cultural relics were unearthed today at the Lishan No. 1 site in the Klongtong Province of the Empire/Zero Island’s most wanted criminal Shi Yuling is still on the run / The Cecil Laboratory of the Central Union University in the capital of the sky announces the satisfactory results of the cyberspace experiment... After the newsletter, there is a new CD promotion of the local idol Xingli.

In normal times, Gongsun Ce has already pointed the country from the beginning.It's just that he doesn't pay attention to these now, and his attention is all focused on the battle that is about to start.

"Are you sure you want to use that dangerous battle plan?" Alice asked.

The two ran down the escalator, and the pier area marked by the signal was about to arrive, "From your description, this enemy's performance is a bit tricky...so I will take the lead. I would rather be injured than let him run again Drop." There are tens of meters away from the pier area, and Gongsun Ce can already see the outlines of several huge bridge cranes standing in it. "Do you know how to deal with accidents, boy?" "Plan B." "Huh?" "Adaptive." "I believe you are experienced now. Let's go!"

The two stopped in front of the access control in the dock area.

Looking up, several bridge cranes measured in thousands of tons are quietly bathed in light, and the red exterior paint of the mechanical giant is almost integrated with the setting sun.The containers of different colors under the bridge crane look like children's building blocks. The contrast is so strong that people almost forget their actual size.

They planned to act according to the previously discussed plan—but at this moment, Alice's exclamation stopped the young man who was about to step forward.

"Gongsun Ce, wait a minute. The signal is coming in our direction!"

It appears to be a trap.

The superpower user quickly prepared for battle, but a second later, he frowned.And not just because of an inconspicuous little black dot in the hand of a man walking out of the pier.What's more, this person's appearance is completely different from Alice's description.

The Dragon Worshiper described by Alice Adar has dark skin and long orange hair, but this one is dressed like a Cowboy Western with a big pink beard.

Is there a mistake in the information, or is there another change in the situation?Gongsun Ce heightened his vigilance, observing the man's movements and actions.

"Hello! You two have worked so hard to come all the way, but it's a pity that you came a bit late..."

The pink beard threw the object in his hand, and the miniature transmitter was bathed in the light of the setting sun in midair.He showed a hearty smile to the two: "It's no longer your business here, Miss Hunter."
