Dimensional Manifestation

45. The Dilemma of the City

"what?"

Lin Tianya looked at Nakano Maruo with a confused face, not knowing what the other party was talking about.

What did he do to those clerks?

He did nothing. Ever since he entered this coffee shop, he has been sitting in this corner looking at his mobile phone without even moving his butt, so what did he do?

"...Nothing, let's get down to business."

Feeling that Lin Tianya's expression did not seem to be fake, Nakano Maruo wisely chose to skip the question just now and decided to bring the topic on the right track.

"Mr. Lin, first of all, let me express my gratitude to you. Thank you for saving my daughters yesterday."

Although Nakano Maruo's face was still expressionless as usual, his voice was rarely trembling.

Although the quintuplets are not his biological daughters, he does regard them as his own. If something happened to the five people, then he really didn't know how to explain to the five people's dead mothers.

"Wherever it is, it is what every one of our law-abiding citizens should do."

Lin Tianya waved his hand in embarrassment. Although strictly speaking he is not a law-abiding citizen...

"Secondly, I heard from Er Nai-kun that you are a mercenary?"

To be honest, even though Nakano Maruo is well-informed and has a decent social status, this is the first time he has seen mercenaries in real life.

He has seen a lot of professional bodyguards.

"The properties are relatively close, but strictly speaking, they are still somewhat different. This is more complicated, and I don't know how to explain it to you."

【Apostle】Well, in a sense, they can also be regarded as mercenaries of the world. It's just that they belong to the contract system, and they pay wages based on actual performance.

"Well, let me ask this question in another way, Mr. Lin, where are you from? What is the purpose of coming here?"

As a father, Nakano Maruo was instinctively wary of a strange man who suddenly appeared next to his daughters, even if he had just saved their lives.

"I came from the city next door, the one that suddenly appeared next to me at noon yesterday. Then my purpose... In fact, I didn't have any purpose. I was just curious about the city that suddenly appeared, so I ran over to take risks Then I met Er Nao, and Er Nao wanted to hire me, but I had no place to go and I was still worrying about food and accommodation, so I agreed."

Lin Tianya replied honestly.

"Oh!? Mr. Lin, you came from the city next door? Then can you tell me what that city is like?"

Nakano Maruo suddenly became excited.

Became the director of a large hospital at a young age, Nakano Maruo not only has superb medical skills, but also has a wide network of contacts. Therefore, he also has a way to learn about some little-known information from high-level officials.

As far as he knew, in the past day or so since the mutation occurred, high-level government officials had conducted a general exploration of the surrounding areas and obtained some simple information.

For example, the fog wall surrounding the city is impassable in three directions. Once people entered the dense fog, they would immediately lose their way, and only rely on the rope tied around their waists to pull the explorers back.

But what is amazing is that inanimate things seem to be unaffected. Whether it is water, electricity or the Internet, they are all operating normally as before.

And the last remaining, the only direction that can be passed is the direction where the unknown city that suddenly appeared.

For this city that suddenly appeared, the current government seriously lacks relevant information. Regarding whether to make contact with this unknown city, the high-level officials have been arguing all night, and they have not been able to come to a unified conclusion until now.

Now, knowing that Lin Tianya came from that city, Nakano Maruo felt as if he was suddenly hit on the head by a large piece of pie while walking on the road. You must know that relying on the existing resources in this city alone cannot support the survival of so many citizens. If we don't quickly find a way to solve the material problem, it won't be long before the whole city will be completely thrown into chaos.

"There's nothing to say, it's just a modern city like this."

Lin Tianya said casually.

Although Lin Tianya didn't know the details of the city's current predicament, he could guess some of it by guessing. However, he didn't think there was anything difficult to solve.

As long as this city tries to make contact with the city next to it, the other side will surely be happy to provide humanitarian assistance and continuously supply the city with supplies.

At that time, most of the problems will naturally be solved. As for the remaining small part, it has nothing to do with these ordinary people, and it is something that only the top government officials need to consider.

"You mean, the people living in that city are all ordinary humans like us?"

Nakano Maruo confirmed.

"certainly."

At least except for a few [Apostles], most of them are just ordinary human beings who couldn't be more ordinary.

"This information is very important. On behalf of the government of this city, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you."

Although there are still many worries in his heart, Nakano Maruo still chooses to believe in Lin Tianya. After all, he really couldn't think of any reason for the other party to deceive him.

"Too serious, Mr. Nakano. Oh, by the way, I hope Mr. Nakano can keep the matter of my coming from the next city a secret. I am the most afraid of trouble. I don't want to be surrounded by a group of strangers." Just ask this and that."

Lin Tianya waved his hands in disgust, as if trying to drive away annoying flies.

"...Okay, I will keep it a secret for Mr. Lin."

After hesitating for a while, considering that the other party is the savior of his daughters after all, Nakano Maruo finally decided to resist the pressure and keep this secret for Lin Tianya.

"The last question, Mr. Lin, may I ask, are you sure, are you really capable of protecting the safety of my daughters?"

Kindness belongs to kindness, and morality belongs to morality. It is related to the safety of his daughters. Nakano Maruo cannot tolerate any negligence in himself.

In fact, compared to Lin Tianya, an unfamiliar 'mercenary', Nakano Maruo is still more inclined to hire a professional bodyguard team to protect the safety of his daughters.

Therefore, if Lin Tianya could not prove that he was capable of protecting his daughters, Nakano Maruo would at most give the other party a large sum of money as a thank you, and would not agree to hire the other party.

"This... wait a minute. Ah, I remember it was in this pocket..."

While muttering, Lin Tianya began to grope around himself.

In a short while, he took out a lot of guns, ammunition, daggers, and other messy and dangerous items, which filled the whole table, and Nakano Maruo's eyelids twitched wildly.
