Chapter 10 The Mil
Chen Wang is lucky; he has a good brother.
Haozi carefully selected and used all his connections to make him a high-quality protective suit.
Privately made protective suits naturally vary in quality.
Some people who can't get into logistics companies but still love the delivery industry will buy a set of clothes to wear and satisfy their spiritual pursuits by taking private orders.
Some people have even become addicted to delivery, feeling anxious if they don't deliver for a day. They can endure no pay and long journeys, as long as there are orders, everything is fine.
They gradually became unable to accept the modern life and complex interpersonal relationships in Rainbow City, and chose to go to the surface and embrace danger.
In contrast to the order structure in the underground city, the above-ground city has the opposite structure, with very few orders placed through logistics companies and many private orders initiated in the name of individuals.
When there are no orders, they gather together to rest; when other deliverymen pass by, out of humanitarian aid and a thirst for delivery itself, they will snatch goods, hoard them in their own warehouses, and then have their own people deliver them.
Such people are called "Mir" in the Western world, a term also used in the East where Chen Wang lived.
Li Mengyao never expected that the men she had met a few days ago were actually Mil people!
Shouldn't they be busy delivering goods and robbing people? How come they have time to come to Rainbow City for entertainment?
This shows that there are quite a few scoundrels among the mil people.
These dark-skinned men, calling out to her, insisted on taking her to the Mil camp.
"Mengyao, don't be fooled by our living on the surface; life there is much better than what you experience."
He casually pulled a wad of cash from his bag and stuffed it into Li Mengyao's hand.
"Come on, come on, let's go up there and have some fun before coming down, consider it a vacation!"
Li Mengyao reluctantly agreed, but she really couldn't resist the temptation that was about to be obtained.
The hat she had received earlier had been put back inside. She carefully selected a foolproof outfit and, with a mix of reluctance and acceptance, left Rainbow City with the Mil.
……
Hongcheng, outside the Fifth Ring Road, Private Passage No. 7.
Through Haozi's intermediary, Chen Wang has successfully established contact with the inventor.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the privately owned elevator that the inventor had enthusiastically recommended.
"This place only cares about money, not people. It's the most convenient elevator. I can get through using my gadget."
A porter carrying heavy goods passed by at the east end, while several simple-looking children ran and played at the west end.
The houses are low and flat, but their age is hard to hide.
Chen Wang walked to the entrance of the passage and handed the black cloth bag from his pocket to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper had flat facial features, dark skin, and wore sunglasses; he appeared to be tall and imposing.
He took Chen Wang's bag, weighed it in his hand for a few moments, glanced inside, nodded, and let Chen Wang pass.
As for the bag, it was one of the inventor's little toys.
Simply place a few stacks of projection paper inside, and then project them remotely via the Chiral network to create a truly realistic holographic effect.
If you don't look closely, you might really think there's a lot of cash inside.
The passage was covered by a thick quilt, serving as a temporary entrance. Chen Wang lifted the quilt, revealing a completely dark passage leading underground.
"Just keep walking straight ahead and you'll get there," the gatekeeper advised.
Inside the passageway, the smell sometimes reminded Chen Wang of a medical clinic, and at other times it smelled like a dusty ship cabin. Continuing downwards, he arrived at a large metal platform where many people were already waiting to depart.
The platform is suspended by thick ropes on all four sides, and is supplemented by longitudinal slide rails, so it always makes a piercing sound when it is started.
The men and women around me, dressed in various ways, all stood silently, having become accustomed to this situation.
Chen Wang looked up, and the tiny point of light in his field of vision was the elevator's destination.
Half an hour later, as dust billowed from the ground, the elevator slowly came to a stop.
People got off the elevator without exchanging words and went in all directions.
On a cloudy day with a light drizzle, Chen Wang, wearing a brand-new uniform, walked towards the distance.
During this time, he would occasionally encounter shared watchtowers built by others, and with the help of the wide view, he also collected a few cryptozoans.
At this moment, elsewhere on the earth's surface.
Diamond-level deliveryman Xu Rui is driving a three-wheeled motorcycle across the vast plain.
The task information was clearly displayed on her phone.
"Order: Rescue hostages, Estimated difficulty: Diamond level."
The initiator was a girl named Li Mengyao, who was imprisoned for accidentally entering the territory of the Mil people. There is not much other information, so it must have been posted under duress.
According to the network coordinates, there were originally no enemies there.
This indicates that the group of mirians were in seclusion, not connected to the Chiral network, and had not been discovered by others and had their data uploaded.
She dared not be careless and carried advanced weaponry.
Two kilometers away from the coordinates, Xu Rui parked his motorcycle, took out the building tool, and chose a location to build a watchtower.
She operated the panel, and the screen at the bottom of the tower quickly displayed the observed scene.
The campsite was small, nestled against the mountains, with four or five tents pitched, and a prominent seat in the middle.
The banner of "King Mir" fluttered nearby, and the man seated on the throne, his hand on his chin, half-naked, was resting with his eyes closed.
She had never seen Mir people like this before; in her memory, they were all wearing orange protective suits.
Behind the throne, a filthy short skirt was visible, and the stockings on her legs were also torn and tattered.
Even without seeing his face, one could tell that this person was the hostage being held.
"This route is good..." Xu Rui turned the camera on the watchtower, meticulously planning the famous infiltration route.
Based on past experience, she could take down all the enemies with a magnetic shock pistol and a silenced tranquilizer sniper rifle.
However, an accident occurred.
As she focused on her work, she suddenly felt a cold, menacing gaze.
The camera pans to the throne, where King Mir is already wearing a skull mask.
To be precise, it looks more like a skull-shaped bulletproof helmet.
The gaze from beneath the mask, though its eyes were unseen, sent chills down Xu Rui's spine.
The chilling aura intensified as King Mir stood up, and in the blink of an eye, the other party vanished!
Inside the incubator in front of me, the liquid quickly turned red, and the baby started crying without warning.
Xu Rui's body also developed large red rashes due to the sudden increase in the concentration of chiral substances in the vicinity.
In an instant, King Mir was already behind her!
"Who are you looking for, little sister?"
He spoke in a low, teasing voice, almost whispering in Xu Rui's ear.
Xu Rui had no time to think and quickly delivered a spinning back kick!
With a "whoosh," the skull in front of them disappeared again.
She kicked at nothing, only kicking up a cloud of black tar droplets from her feet.
"They only make a few bucks a month, how dare they take on such a dangerous job!"
With a slight movement of his hand, King Mir sent Xu Rui flying.
bass!
He appeared before her in an instant.
Grabbing Xu Rui, who had fallen to the ground, he glanced at the still-crying baby and asked casually:
Have you ever been to the Beach?
bass.
The two disappeared on the spot, and the tar on the ground quickly faded away, making everything seem normal.
……
Meanwhile, Chen Wang was still on his way.
He opened his phone's map app and muttered, "This place looks ordinary, so how come it has a special alloy?"
With a crunch, it ate a cryptozoan to replenish its energy.
