Overturned Tower

Chapter 167 Falling Meteor (Thanks to the leader of Fengqi Wutong 626 for feeding~)

The barber and Morgan were walking in the dim alleys of the lower city.

Neither the bluebird nor the pony had night vision capabilities. In order to keep up with the two people in front, the barber had already pulled down his night vision goggles.

And Morgan followed closely beside him. The figure of the barber can only be barely seen through the light emitted by the factory machinery.

She didn't even know where she was going, but she didn't feel scared walking in such a dark place.

She hoped that this moment could be extended indefinitely...

The rhythmic noise from the factories on both sides is mixed with the same rhythmic sound of the tide above...

"Once you get used to it, it will make you feel at ease."

Morgan suddenly said: "It gives people a sense of tranquility."

"You mean the noise from the factory?"

Although Morgan's topic was sudden, the barber immediately realized what she was going to say.

This tacit understanding with Morgan... was something he had just gained.

"And the cry of the sea."

Morgan put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and whispered softly: "It feels like living here is not bad."

Hearing this, the barber was silent.

He didn't know how to answer...

He felt that whatever he said might hurt Morgan's heart; and the remaining half of his response would hurt himself.

"Do you remember," Morgan murmured, "I am actually very afraid of the dark. I was originally very afraid."

That's because Bluebird never goes out or be with her at night...

"It's a good thing to be afraid of the dark."

The barber didn't look back and said softly: "Those who are good at swimming will drown. It is safest to take the initiative to stay away from danger."

"...It's pretty much the same as what he said."

Morgan was a little helpless.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the more she chatted with her, the more the barber looked like "Blue Songbird"...

Compared to the kind of boyfriend who likes to show off his authority, save face, and speak harsh words, Blue Georgie is much more rational - he admits that he is not good at fighting and his vision is very dim at night. Therefore, he would never take Morgan out at night when someone might come to commit crimes at night in the lower city...

Because he knew very well that he couldn't protect Morgan. Bluebird and Morgan's fathers were responsible for her not letting her go out at night.

Nighttime has always been Xiacheng District’s home ground.

Anyway, there is no distinction between day and night in Xiacheng District. They can sleep all day and then come out again when night falls.

And in the middle of the night...even the execution department is off work.

The few shift personnel stationed there are only there to guard documents or protect the executive department building.

——The company execution department is not the police.

They strictly abide by the attitude of getting paid and doing a job, and there is no possibility of risking their lives on patrols at night.

If something happens at night, no one will come to save you.

But now, the person following her is the nominal leader of Lower City - the Godfather.

"Now that I'm with the 'Godfather', I feel like I'm not so scared anymore."

"...It's better to be afraid."

The barber sighed again: "I'm not a good person."

Although Morgan may not understand it, "The Godfather" is indeed not a good person.

Unlike "Ultraline", his position is completely close to Xiacheng District.

For example, what he is about to do...

They had been walking for more than two hours, and Morgan had only seen a total of two people on the road since leaving the Veil of Ignorance.

Instead, I saw or heard fifteen or six huge cargo trucks roaring past.

"Are there... so few people in Lower City?"

Morgan was a little surprised: "Or are they all hiding?"

"Because they are sleeping."

The barber sighed helplessly: "Uncoded people also have to sleep."

It's afternoon in the outside world, and for most people in Xiacheng District, it's the time when they are asleep. So there aren't many people hanging around.

The Angels and Execution Department usually go to the lower city after five o'clock in the afternoon. The rest of the time is considered a raid.

The reason is also very simple...because there are trucks transporting goods in Xiacheng District during the day. After five o'clock it is time to get off work.

Although part of it is unmanned and part is the jump-in control of the pilot, there is definitely part of it being a real person.

Normally, downtown uncensors would not attack these trucks in front of their homes. Otherwise, the Lower City area will face a very high-intensity siege - of course, there must be some idiots and radicals, but they are usually killed by the hangers. After all, ordinary uncensored people just want to live in a different place. They don’t want to pay the price with their lives, risk the risk of war, or try their best to increase the price of goods in Shangcheng District by five percentage points...

People who do this are more or less seriously ill.

And if the Angels and the Enforcement Department damage these freight trucks, it will definitely not work.

After all, the execution department is a department that puts "the company's interests first" rather than enforcing justice. One of the reasons why the "civilians" in Xiacheng District were able to escape the encirclement and suppression was precisely because once freight trucks began to be evacuated from a certain area, or they found that the freight trucks at the door suddenly changed their route, people were immediately sensitive and prepared to run away.

Unlike Sogo Island...even at night, there are no trucks running around Uptown.

Although the Uncoded would not attack trucks in front of their homes, the situation is different in Uptown.

This can also be said to be a mutual choice.

People in uptown areas will go home before midnight. The remaining people enjoying the nightlife will never leave the store where they are staying.

The first priority for uncensored people to rob and hijack is drunkards who are alone - followed by young couples looking for excitement.

Having money also makes it easy to control... Even if you don't have money, you can kidnap and take away the family members who threaten them. To take a step back, just tying up people and sending them to Xiacheng District would be productive.

For example, it can be used to shoot short videos of general taboos or special taboos, or it can also be used to empty out the internal organs and sell them to black market doctors, or directly hand them over to mad scientists who were expelled for doing taboo experiments.

Even if the enforcement department receives a report, the most it can say is "we know it." It was impossible to go to Xiacheng District to search for missing persons aimlessly... It was a coincidence that we happened to meet him when he was annihilating the organization. But they definitely won't take the initiative to look for it, because they can't find it at all.

——There is no Internet, no lights, no surveillance, and no floating cars in Xiacheng District. In most areas, you can’t even make calls or send text messages. They go looking for people with hammers.

"Generally speaking, there is a difference of about ten hours between the schedules of downtown and uptown. People will not feel at ease until after nine o'clock in the morning when the first batch of trucks pass by their homes."

The barber explained.

Cargo trucks mean safety.

It is impossible for company dogs to cause losses to their owners... Therefore, as long as they do not attack trucks in the lower city or attack high-end entertainment and catering facilities in the downtown area where bigwigs may come, they will always be safe.

"...but what is that?"

Morgan pointed to the sky, but couldn't see anything in the barber's night vision goggles.

He took off his night vision goggles in confusion.

The strange thing is that when I took off my night vision goggles... I seemed to see a bright golden meteor, which seemed to "rise from the sea", or fall from the sky.

Not far ahead, a dark golden light of the same thickness rose from the ground and collided with the meteor.

When they collided, there was no violent collision or explosion sound... Instead, they exploded in the air like fireworks, and golden clouds slowly dispersed in the air, even lighting up a "sea".

"...That is the power of holy order."

The barber's eyes became serious: "But what is the other hair?"

Could it be that...an angel launched a sneak attack?

But in that case, how come there is only one shot?

"……problem occurs?"

"Anyway, I have to go and see it first."

"good."

They looked at each other.

The barber put on the night vision goggles again, and the pace of the two of them, which was almost walking before, suddenly accelerated a lot.

Chapter 2 will come later~

It should be out by one o'clock!
