Overturned Tower

Vol 2 Chapter 47: Falling meteor

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

Neither the blue robin nor the pony has night vision capabilities. In order to keep up with the two people in front, the barber has pulled down his night vision goggles, and Morgan is closely following him. Relying on the light emitted by the factory machines, the barber can barely be seen.

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

She hopes that this moment can be extended indefinitely...

The rhythmic noises from the factories on both sides are mixed with the rhythmic sound of the tide overhead...

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

Morgan said suddenly: "There is a sense of tranquility.

"You mean the factory noise?

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

This tacit understanding with Morgan... is exactly what he just got.

"And the cry of the sea."

Morgan put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and said softly: "It seems that living here is not bad."

Hearing this, the barber fell silent.

He didn't know how he should answer...

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

"Do you remember," muttered Morgan, "I was actually terrified of the dark. I was terrified."

That's because the Blue Robin never goes out at night with her...

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

Without turning his head, the barber said softly, "A good swimmer drowns. It is safest to take the initiative to stay away from danger."

"...It's about the same as what he said."

Morgan was a little helpless.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the more she chats with herself, the barber becomes more and more like a "blue song robin". He admits that he is not good at fighting, and his vision is very dim at night. Therefore, he never takes Morgan out at night when the lower city may come to commit crimes at night at any time.

Because he knew very well that he could not protect Morgan. Bluebird and Morgan's father are also responsible to her for not letting her go out at night.

Night has always been the home of downtown.

Anyway, there is no distinction between day and night in the downtown area, so they can sleep the whole day and come out again when night falls.

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

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

- Corporate executives aren't the police.

They strictly abide by the attitude of taking a piece of money and doing a job, and there is no possibility of risking their lives to go out at night.

If something goes wrong at night, no one will come to rescue him.

But now, with her is the nominal leader of the lower city—Godfather.

"Now that I'm with 'Master Godfather', I feel less afraid."

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

The barber sighed again:

"I'm not a nice person."

Although Morgan may not be able to understand it, the "Godfather" is indeed not a good person.

Unlike "Ultramarine", his position is completely close to the downtown area.

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

They had been walking for more than two hours, and since leaving the veil of ignorance, Morgan had only seen two people on the road.

Instead, I saw or heard fifteen or sixteen huge freight trucks roaring past.

"There are... so few people in the lower city?"

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

"Because they're sleeping.

The barber sighed helplessly: "People without a code also need to sleep."

It is now afternoon in the outside world, and for most people in the lower city, it is time for deep sleep. So there are no people hanging around.

The Angels and the Executive Department are usually dispatched to the lower city after five o'clock in the afternoon. The rest of the time is considered an assault.

The reason is also very simple...Because the downtown area is in the daytime, there are trucks delivering goods. After five o'clock is off work time.

While it's part drone and part pilot's jump-in controls, there's definitely a part of it that's real.

Usually, the uncoded people in the downtown area don't attack these trucks on their doorsteps. Otherwise there would be a very intense siege in the lower city—of course, there must be some idiots and radicals, but they are usually killed by the hangman. After all, ordinary uncoded people just want to live in another place. They don't want to pay the price of their lives, risk causing war, and desperately increase the price of the upper city by five percent.

People who do this are more or less seriously ill, and if the Angels and the Executive Department damage these freight trucks, it will definitely not work.

After all, the executive department is a department that "puts the interests of the company first", not for the execution of justice. One of the reasons why the "civilians" in the lower city can escape the siege is precisely because once the evacuation of freight trucks starts in a certain area, or when the freight trucks at the door suddenly change course, people are immediately sensitive and ready to run.

Unlike Sogo...even at night, there are no trucks running up and down the town.

While uncoded people don't attack trucks on their doorstep, that's not the case uptown.

This can also be said to be a mutual choice.

People in the upper city will go home before midnight. The remaining people who enjoy the nightlife will never leave the store where they are staying halfway. The first priority of looting and hijacking is the drunk who is alone—the second is the young couple who come out to find excitement.

It's easy to control while having money... Even if you don't have money, you can kidnap and take away the family members who threaten them. To take a step back, simply tying people up and sending them to the lower urban area is productive.

For example, it can be used to shoot small videos that are generally taboo or especially taboo, or they can also emptied their internal organs and sold them to black market doctors, or directly handed over people to mad scientists who were expelled for doing taboo experiments.

Even if the executive department receives a report, at most it will be "we know". It's impossible to go to the lower city to search for missing persons aimlessly... It's a coincidence to meet them when we wiped out 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 vehicles in the lower urban area. In most areas, even phone calls and text messages cannot be sent. They take a hammer to find someone.

"Usually, there is a difference of about ten hours between the work schedules in the lower urban area and the upper urban area. After nine o'clock in the morning, people will feel at ease when the first batch of trucks pass by their door."

The barber explained.

Freight trucks mean safety.

Company dogs are unlikely to cause damage to their owners...so as long as the downtown area doesn't attack trucks in the downtown area, and downtown and high-end entertainment and dining facilities where big people may come, they will always be safe.

"...but what is that?"

Morgan pointed to the sky, but there was nothing in the barber's night-vision goggles.

Confused, he took off his night vision goggles.

The strange thing is that when I took off the night vision goggles... I seemed to see a golden shooting star, like "rising from the sea", or falling from the sky~www.wuxiahere.com~ not far ahead , but 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 and explosion sound... Instead, it exploded in the air like fireworks, and the golden cloud Slowly dispersed in the air, and even illuminated a "sea".

"...that is the power of the Holy Order."

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

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

But in that case, how could there be only one shot?

…problem occurs? "

"In any case, you have to go and see first."

"it is good."

They looked at each other. The barber put on the night vision goggles again, and the pace of the two people who had been walking before suddenly accelerated a lot.
