Valkyrie showed a look of reminiscence, and then suddenly realized: "It's your Colt, you once said to give it to someone, could it be this zero. So father, you have already had contact with him, but if so, why? At that time, father, didn't you bring him back directly?"
"At that time, I was not sure. Although I detected the wave energy of the holy miracle, the signal was so weak that it could be ignored. So I gave Colt to him, and I installed a wave energy monitor on the gun. , it will regularly feed back the data to my personal brain. And until recently, the holy wave energy on Zero had an upward trend, which shows that he should be the experimental subject of that plan. With the improvement of his ability, The power obtained from the Holy Land will become more obvious." Ben showed a meaningful smile: "As for the so-called third-party restriction clause, Colt on Zero has given us enough excuses to bypass this clause."
"It turns out that you have already considered such a thing."
"It's just to prepare in advance. I'm not a god, how can I know what will happen in the future." Ben shook his head.
Valkyrie respectfully said to Ben: "I understand, I will personally extradite Zero, don't worry, father!"
With that said, Valkyrie turned and left. Looking at the photo of Zero on the screen, Ben smiled and said, "We will meet soon."
After coming out of Windmill Town, the curved and broken road extends northward. This road, which runs almost through most of the cities and bases along the coastline, was gradually paved twenty years after the cataclysm. At first, it was just a traffic artery connecting several bases, but with the emergence of various bases, the demand for traffic made the scale of the road bigger and bigger, and the road was spread farther and farther, and finally the entire coastline area was divided into districts. . So far, this coastline road is still talked about like a miracle.
Only due to lack of maintenance and construction, as time goes by, the road gradually breaks and other damages. But as long as vehicles are barely passable, no philanthropist will pay for the road.
Six or seven hundred kilometers north of Fengche Town, a mountainous area will appear. From here, the surface bid farewell to the plains in the south, and the mountainous landforms of the north began to appear. After the cataclysm, the original continental plates either sank or merged. For example, the Central Continent is the merger of the original Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate, and the big crack is the trace left by the collision of the two plates.
On the other hand, the mountain area where the coastline road extends from Windmill Town rises abruptly from the horizon. It is the impact and extrusion caused by the impact of the plate, which changes the original land structure. There is a lot of space underneath. Polluted seawater floods back, dilutes and settles to form precious usable water that contains a small amount of radiation.
The city base of the City of Shadows is built on land with such an underground water area. Due to the special stratum structure, cities cannot be built underground. At the very beginning, the developers of the Shadow City discovered that this area is rich in groundwater resources, so it gradually developed from the most primitive water purification plant to the present scale of a city.
In turbulent times, water represents the continuation of life. It can be said that every region that can produce clean water resources must be a major city. Shadow City is no exception, the original developers were replaced by today's council, the city's ruling class. Sitting among the valleys, the city is only illuminated by natural light for a few times a year, and the largest industry is the large-scale water purification plant that occupies nearly half of the city.
In addition to supplying the needs of the city, the clean water produced by the City of Shadows is also sold to other cities or bases for huge profits. Obviously, the City of Shadows is a piece of flesh that is about to bleed, no one thinks about it, it's just a joke. It's just that the committee members of the City of Shadows are very smart, and they made an agreement with the Dark Council at the beginning of the city's establishment.
The Shadow City will become a legal city within the protection of the Dark Council, and pay a certain amount of taxes to the Dark Council every year in exchange for the armed protection of the Dark Council. In the city of shadows, a blood knight colonel and an elite troop have been stationed for many years, and they suppress any armed forces that dare to get involved in this city.
Because of the existence of the Scarlet Knight, the City of Shadows has virtually become an existence equivalent to a shelter. Passing business travelers or travelers can get a temporary rest here and rest at ease, of course, for this they have to pay much higher city entry taxes than other cities.
It has been two days since Moni and Atesa came to the City of Shadows. In order to enter the city, Moni almost handed over all the money on her body. After the two slept on the street for a night, it was only thanks to Mo Ni's dance performance in the bar of the Shadow City that they earned the cost of their accommodation.
While waiting for Zero to meet, Mo Ni used her spare time during the day to search for any relevant news like a needle in a haystack on the streets of the city with her mother's photo. Monnie changed places every day to maximize the source of information. But until now, she didn't get any useful news, but was harassed by many men with excess energy.
It's just that Monie has a gun and a knife on her body, and in the city of shadows, men dare not fight casually, otherwise the sheriff will interfere. That's why Moni didn't get into any trouble, but there are no absolutes. After two or three days, many people already knew that there would be a beautiful girl on the street during the day, looking for someone important.
Tyne the Scythe is one of them, he is one of the leaders of the Bloody Brotherhood of Snakes in the Shadow City. The Brotherhood belongs to a semi-legal organization. Usually, some things that cannot be put on the table in the Shadow City are entrusted to them. In exchange for the Brotherhood, the Brotherhood has the legal right to live in the city. In addition to performing some official tasks, the Brotherhood also usually engages in lucrative businesses such as slaves and arms.
Among them, beautiful slaves are even more profitable than arms, so after personally confirming Moni's appearance, Tyne, a young girl, took it into her pocket. A beautiful but young slave girl like Mo Ni can be sold for sky-high prices. But before selling her, Tyne wants to get a taste of her.
It's just that he can't openly kidnap in the Shadow City, even if he belongs to the Brotherhood. Once found out, Tyne will definitely be treated as a sacrifice in order to maintain the city's superficial justice. He's not stupid, and there's Atesa in Moni, and that black girl is not easy to mess with. So Tyne devised a simple but effective trap.
"Excuse me, have you ever seen the woman in the photo?"
On the street, Mo Ni was persistently asking every passerby with a photo. After getting another disappointed answer, she heard someone behind her say, "Hey, I seem to have seen this woman before."
Mo Ni turned her head quickly, and standing behind her was a man with long taupe hair.
