Bionic Era

Time flies by in the surface world.

Everyone is looking forward to that moment three days later.

...

Underground at this time.

The same came in the evening.

Lu Wen and Jin Xiong waited all day in the commercial area near the third floor.

This is the real business district.

Dozens of streets around.

There are all walks of life.

Retail transactions, dining, lodging...

Bustling and lively, the project is complete, and there is even a ring dedicated to fighting.

The dark red and light pink lights are lit in the evening, and they are pieced together to shine on the broken clockwork and nostalgic bearings on the ground, and the deep rust is shining in a barren color.

People of all races were mixed, crowded on the relatively wide road, and there were still low rooms on both sides.

He was sitting in a small teahouse along the street, and there was a huge rusty metal gear embedded in the door of the teahouse.

People come and go outside.

The owner of the teahouse is a deformed man with correct facial features, well-coordinated limbs, and a perfect height, but a third arm has grown out of his back, and this arm cannot be controlled and cannot make any movements. It is just a pure burden. dangling.

The arm on the back is smaller than the normal arm, like a baby's, and the color is abnormal, pale, without blood.

"How do you sleep?" Lu Wen asked.

"You can lie on your stomach or on your side, but it will be more uncomfortable."

The boss is very talkative and always treats people with a smile.

He doesn't shy away from talking about his physical flaws, and he has a cheerful personality, which he presumably has long been used to.

"I see that the position of your arm is far from the spine. You can do a simple minor operation. After the resection, you can recover to normal activities within half a year after recuperation."

"No, distinguished guest, I am different from you..."

He smiled, expressing his unwillingness to become a pure human in appearance.

Simply put, not qualified.

His identity and status, money and power made him dare not cut off that arm, and it would be better to live as a deformed person.

Pure human beings who have fallen into the mixed zone will receive a lot of unnecessary attention. In the end, they can only choose to transform themselves, become a reformed person with a certain combat effectiveness, and use their strength to fight for a place.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

eight pm.

night fell completely

The prosperity of the Mixed District is at its peak.

Robots and cyborgs are fighting in the arena, slippery dwarves are shuttling through the crowd, the metal eaves are illuminated by pink lights, there are guarding giants standing under the eaves, rusty electronic dogs are running around wagging their tails, the transformation The man stretched out his bronze-colored metal arms and pinched the young girl's chin...

The streets are a bit slippery and there is a cloud seeding in the afternoon.

The ground reflects a world of intertwined colors.

"Mr. Xia, it's time to go to the third floor."

"Um."

The tall building is not far away.

More than three floors.

It was a building made of discarded steel, with rusted steel beams criss-crossing, and pink light projected from the inside.

The building is crooked and irregular.

Raindrops cling to the potholes on the building's surface.

Lu Wen looked up and felt that based on the normal height, the building should have exceeded five floors.

In fact, it's pretty much the same as he thought.

After the metal gate was opened, the first floor was filled with sensuality, light and shadow, which was gorgeous and charming. Alcohol was the fuel for excitement and madness.

"Gentlemen, please follow me."

The waiter leads the two.

At the end of the first floor, there is an elevator, and the buttons from the -2nd floor to the 5th floor are marked on one side.

When the strength exceeds the second floor, you can freely dominate the height of the floor.

The owner of this three-story building presumably prefers the number 7.

"Twelve of the fourteen regions are here, and they are waiting for two of them."

fifth floor.

The elevator door opened slowly.

It is a golden and white world intertwined, clean and bright, and the pure white light is very dazzling, forming a strong contrast with the old and broken outside world.

This is a feast.

Huge bright chandelier.

There is a long table under the light, and the table is full of dishes.

Fifteen dinner plates, knives and forks.

There is a big gap with Lu Wen's imagination.

He also thought that it would be the one in the movie, where a big boss sits in the innermost high position of the hall, surrounded by small bosses standing on both sides.

The atmosphere was obviously much more harmonious than Lu Wen had imagined.

At least the surface is very harmonious.

The owner of the third floor is named Ivan. He is in his thirties. He is a big fat man. He is very fat. It is hard to tell which is longer between height and body width. He can only wear special clothes.

See two people go upstairs.

Ivan raised his wine glass with a smile, dressed in a close-fitting white suit, and greeted him forward.

"The two brothers are here. If you don't come, the food will be cold."

The flesh on his face trembled slightly with his expression, but the flesh on his body didn't move at all.

Lu Wen took a quick look and determined that this Ivan was a special reformer, and the "meat" under the suit should be all machines.

The old man with the golden bear walked forward, with a signature smile on his face, looking amiable, and he opened his mouth to respond.

Although Lu Wen didn't like this kind of scene, he agreed a few words.

"Is this new brother actually a pure human race?" Ivan smiled, his small eyes narrowed, squeezed into gaps by the fat on his face, and almost invisible.

He smiled and patted Lu Wen on the shoulder.

Although this man is fat, his height is unambiguous, about the same height as Lu Wen.

The slap on the shoulder was very strong.

But Lu Wen didn't move at all.

So Ivan continued to laugh and said: "It seems that they are not pure humans. No wonder after cooperating with the Golden Bear Brothers, they were able to kill the idiot Hebrew in one night."

Fourteen areas around.

The other twelve second-floor owners were all looking at Lu Wen.

Those gazes were not malicious, and everyone was relatively calm.

Lu Wen really looked like a pure human race, with no traces of mechanical covering on his body surface, nor the characteristics of other races.

But the weak physique of the pure human race couldn't sit on the second floor.

"Come, come, sit down first, and chat while eating."

Ivan pulled Lu Wen to sit down, sitting beside him.

His smile can actually be described as naive, fat people are always easy to make people feel good about.

Dishes are revealed one by one, exquisite dishes that are rarely seen in the mixed area outside.

"Brother Xia, how long have you known Brother Jinxiong?"

"soon."

Lu Wen and Jin Xiong did not have a conversation in advance.

Jin Xiong didn't tell Lu Wen what to pay attention to in advance, and it should be just a simple meal.

"Actually, the second floor of our area should try not to call back and forth. It hurts peace. My brother, I was often laughed at on the other three floors, saying that I couldn't even sleep peacefully in my area. good."

Ivan didn't seem to have any airs, he touched Lu Wen's shoulder, talking and laughing.

Down a few glasses of wine.

There was a burst of red light on his chubby face, and he introduced to Lu Wen with a smile: "The one on your right is my old friend Kate, he is a blue person, and he is also sitting here on the second floor. The longest..."

"Further to the right is the robot Allen, don't underestimate his metal skeleton, he is the fastest robot in this area..."

"There is also that one, who belongs to the giant race, and has undergone transformation, turning half of his body into metal..."

"..."

The banquet was quite lively.

Everyone has a smiling face, although they don't know what the other person's smiling face is thinking.

In fact, many people here have had minor frictions.

Among the other twelve people at the scene, four had had friction with the old man Jin Xiong.

After all, the regions are adjacent, and some conflicts will inevitably occur.

Both verbally and physically.

But this is Ivan's territory, so even if they don't like each other, they have to laugh.

The more you smile, the better.

And while laughing, toast each other and say something in response to each other.

As a result, Lu Wen got some less important information.

for example.

[After the blue-race Kate took the seat on the second floor, he did not give any preferential policies to his own race. Instead, he intensified and raised the price of medicines. Many blue-race people in his area fled to other areas go】

[After the giant Buzz took this position, he ordered the expulsion of the dwarves in the entire area, and slaughtered those who didn't want to leave]

【…】

The hands of every owner of the second floor were stained with the blood of the same race or a foreign race.

The golden bear's upper position is not very smooth.

He had failed many times at the hands of the previous owner on the second floor of that area, but he survived each time by luck. He survived until the previous owner got old, his combat power declined, and he was no longer young, and he won once.

So he is particularly sensitive to aging.

...

The time came to ten o'clock in the evening.

Drink and eat.

Lu Wen also knew all the owners of the second floor.

These people are almost all physically modified, and they don't trust the abilities of their subordinates.

Only when one's own strength is strong can one secure that position.

Ivan enthusiastically sent Lu Wen outside, and expressed the hope that he could get used to life here.

The night wind blew, dissipating a lot of alcohol.

"Brother Xia Wen, you can come here for a walk when you have nothing to do, and if you need it, just say hello."

"no problem."

Lu Wen nodded with a smile, and then left with Jin Xiong.

The two were sitting in a black car, and the lights and feasting outside were bustling and noisy.

The receding scenery is reflected on the car window, like a meteor flashing.

Not long after, the two returned to the area controlled by Jin Xiong.

Jin Xiong sent Lu Wen to that dilapidated street.

There were still a few blue people around who hadn't slept, and they all looked in awe at Lu Wen.

"Brother Xia Wen, we will keep in touch in the future."

Jin Xiong stood in front of the car, reaching forward.

"Can."

Lu Wen also extended his right hand and shook hands with him.

Afterwards, they exchanged a few simple greetings, and Jin Xiong drove away.

The car started and the golden bear slowly left.

Lu Wen always had a smile on his face.

His right hand hangs by his side.

With the palm facing inward, where ordinary people can't see, there is a scratch that is neither deep nor shallow.

This is what was left by the razor blade in Jin Xiong's palm when they shook hands just now.

Golden Bear is reminding him.

The old man knew that Lu Wen would soon go to the high-level world.

And others don't know.

So the words he sent to Lu Wen were: I will keep in touch in the future.

Someone wants to keep Lu Wen here forever.

Of course he couldn't keep him alive.

【Dangerous】
