The irritable tone and displeasure displayed by Leo at this moment could be felt by even the dullest Jason, not to mention Nelson.
Nelson knew very well not to approach Leo now, otherwise he might be called a punching bag, so he cunningly used Leo's advice and went to a simple shack under the wall of Cage City to find someone to ask about something.
As for Jason, he stupidly said to Leo: "Your temper is the same as my mother's. There are always a few days every month when you suddenly..."
"Jason, do you believe that I can knock out all your teeth with one slap?" Leo turned his head and looked at Jason coldly, and said in an extremely cold tone: "I hope you answer no, because then I will have
An excuse to give you a good beating."
Sensing that Leo was not joking, Jason immediately closed his mouth, shrank his neck, stood aside and stopped making any sound.
Leo also felt that something was wrong with his emotions at this moment, which also made him a little troubled. He felt that this should be some side effects of memory fusion and emotion. A little bit of negative emotions would be amplified under the influence of side effects, but he
There is currently no countermeasure to solve this problem. We can only hope that this side effect will naturally subside after he adapts to his current emotional life.
"I asked just now. There was a dispute between the Factory Federation and the workers' association here this week. The workers blocked the entrance to the apartment city with steel plates." Nielsen, who had already asked about the situation, ran over and introduced it.
Then he pointed to a steam elevator not far away and said: "If you want to go in, you can only take the steam elevator."
"Yeah! Let's go!" Leo nodded and said simply.
The three of them quickly arrived at the steam elevator. The elevator was about ten stories above their heads, and there was no one around. Just when the three of them were thinking about how to lower the elevator, a horn sounded next to the elevator support.
The voice said: "You go back! Our president will negotiate with representatives of your factory association tomorrow. We will not have any negotiations with you today."
The inexplicable words made the three of them stunned and looked at each other. Nielsen immediately took a few steps back. When he could barely see the scene on the floor where the elevator was located, he stopped and shouted loudly towards a blurry figure next to the elevator.
Shouted: "Hello! We are not from the factory, we are outsiders, and we are here to find a friend."
After Nelson shouted loudly, a while later, a voice came from the loudspeaker: "Pick up the microphone and speak, it's right next to you."
Only then did Nelson see a small speaker made of wood wrapped with iron hanging underneath the speaker, so he stepped forward and took it off, not knowing what to do.
Leo on the side couldn't stand it anymore. Although there were no such things as telephones in the Earth Federation, he still knew the general shape and usage of this thing from some old movies, so he prompted: "Speak into that speaker.
.”
After hearing Leo's suggestion, Nelson put the small speaker mask on his mouth, pressed it hard, and then said what he just said loudly.
"Don't be so loud, just whisper." A voice came from the loudspeaker, giving Nelson a lesson, and then asked: "Who is the friend you are looking for?"
"Catherine, Katherine Nightingale." Nelson said immediately.
After announcing his name, there was no reply from the other party for a long time. Nelson looked up in confusion. At this time, Leo, who was very discerning, saw the situation clearly and answered Nelson's doubts: "He went into the building.
, should be to ask if the person you are looking for is here?"
As he said that, Leo suddenly felt a strong curiosity. Although he was able to suppress the curiosity caused by the negative influence, he still decided to follow his original idea and asked Nelson directly: "The name sounds like a woman.
, is she your girlfriend when you were studying in the academy?"
"This...how is this possible! I...I..." Nielsen immediately denied it fiercely, as if he was in a panic and didn't know what to say. His face didn't know whether it was because of excitement or shyness. In short, it changed.
It was bright red, like cooked shrimps.
"She must have a crush on that Catherine." Even the dullest and stupidest Jason could see the situation at that time from Nelson's performance, and struck mercilessly: "But judging from your current performance, even if the other party has not found a man,
, I’m afraid there’s no chance for you either.”
"You..." Nelson was speechless by Jason's words. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and yell at Jason: "Shut up."
Jason smiled and shrugged, and did not provoke Nelson's emotions any more.
With no one provoking him, Nelson quickly regained his composure. However, the lack of a reply from the boss made him very anxious. He couldn't help but think of the joke Leo said to him just now. Maybe Catherine had done it a few years ago.
Dead, which made him very irritable and kept pacing back and forth.
After walking back and forth for several times, Nelson finally couldn't bear the waiting anymore and asked Leo: "Leo, can you help me go up..."
"No! Someone's coming." Leo interrupted his request, pointed to the top, and said.
Nelson looked up and could see a vague voice sticking its head out from above, looking down, and then heard a slightly hoarse and sensual voice coming from the speaker, saying: "Whose underwear is Professor Victor's?"
Where did you put it after you took it?”
Hearing this voice, Nelson's anxiety immediately subsided like a tide, and a joyful smile appeared on his face. He said without thinking: "The professor's pants were taken by Jeff, and they were finally put on the wisdom room in the library."
On the lion’s head.”
"Haha! It's really you, Nelson, long time no see!"
As a woman's voice came from the speaker, the steam elevator overhead began to slowly descend. Soon it reached the bottom. Nelson couldn't wait to step up, and Leo and Jason followed.
After a burst of vibration, the elevator slowly rose, reaching the tenth floor in less than a minute. As they ascended, Nelson and Jason became very worried and frightened, and couldn't help but grab anything around them with their hands.
The living things also turned pale.
When they reached the tenth floor, the iron door of the elevator was opened. The two of them couldn't wait to see the environment inside the floor, and they couldn't wait to jump out of the elevator. After feeling that they were on the ground, they breathed a sigh of relief in unison, and both of them were exposed
He looked like he was still frightened.
Leo calmly walked onto the platform specially built for the elevator, looked at the people standing in front of him, and instinctively collected the surrounding environment data into his assistant brain, simulating the best attack plan in his mind.
"Nilson, it's great to see you here." A mature woman with brown curly hair and a blood-blue apron walked up quickly and hugged Nielsen without hesitation.
into my arms and said very kindly.
This intimate behavior of a mature woman not only made Nelson a little confused and didn't know where to put his hands, but also surprised Jason and others around him. Some people even whistled.
"Shut up! It's all gone. This is my old classmate, you know?" The mature woman let go of Nelson, shouted at the people behind her, and waved her fist.
The people immediately dispersed with laughter, leaving only two people guarding the elevator standing next to the fence monitoring what was going on below.
"These two are..." Catherine did not immediately ask Nelson about his purpose, but looked at Leo and Jason. It was obvious that she could not rest assured about Leo and Jason like she did Nelson.
"This is Leo Dodd, this is Jason, they are my companions." Nelson introduced the two of them and explained their relationship, but perhaps he felt that the companions were not appropriate enough, and added: "And
Comrades."
"Comrade?" Catherine was stunned, looked at Nelson up and down, and said with an unbelievable expression: "You went to the battlefield?"
"Academy mission." Nelson smiled bitterly, then his face darkened again, and he sighed and said, "It's a pity that it failed, and several of my students died on the battlefield."
"The British-French war in the Bretey area?" Catherine seemed to be confirming with Nelson, but also seemed to be talking to herself. Then she raised her hand to stop Nelson from speaking, and said: "This is not the place to talk. Come to me.
Go to the clinic."
After saying that, she turned around and walked into the hall in front of the elevator. She walked up from a welded hanging ladder on the side, and Nelson and the other three quickly followed.
After a group of people followed the hanging staircase for more than a dozen floors, they arrived at a bustling market inside the building.
The originally dark market was filled with oil lamps, so even though it was not as bright as outside, it was still enough for people to see the scene inside the market clearly.
I saw that this market was renovated from a two-story building. Small square-box-like shops divided the entire floor into pieces. Those who had money rented these small shops, and those who didn't have money just rented them in the aisles.
Set up a stall.
There are many and miscellaneous things sold here, ranging from general food, to daily necessities, to various weapons, and there are also some mechanical parts whose functions are unclear, but the most traded items are some unprocessed crude oil.
In an environment like Cage City, it is very sad to have no lights.
There were many people in the market, most of them were wearing work clothes, and only a handful of them were wearing leather trench coats that were deliberately cut in weird shapes. These leather trench coats seemed to be managing the entire market, patrolling back and forth in the market, although they did not show their weapons.
, but judging from the concave and convex shapes on the windbreakers, everyone should be equipped with a short knife and a crossbow. It seems that they should be the standard equipment of a certain Cage City gang.
Catherine seems to have quite a reputation here. Not only the workers who come here to buy things will salute when they see her, but also the merchants who set up stalls to sell goods will stand up and salute, even those gangsters who look unruly
Members also bowed their heads and saluted when Catherine approached.
"It seems like you have a very high status here!" Nelson couldn't help but say when he saw this scene.
Catherine responded calmly: "I just saved some people, you will be like me when you come here."
As she spoke, she led the three of them into the small alley in the corner of the market and arrived at the end of the alley. There was an open door here. When they walked in, they saw a very large room. This room was almost the same as the previous market.
It's about the same size, and the interior is very clean and hygienic. The beds are neatly arranged in the room, and each bed is separated by a white cloth. Moreover, there are more oil lamps hanging here than in the previous market, making the room even more spacious.
The light is very bright.
"Teacher, the patient in the seventh bed has relapsed again." In addition to many patients, there were many men and women dressed as doctors in the room. Among these people, a woman dressed similar to Catherine saw Catherine walking in and immediately walked quickly.
He stepped forward and said anxiously.
When Catherine heard this, she didn't bother to greet Nelson and the other three, and trotted to the seventh bed. She took out the medical equipment and carefully checked the patient's condition.
Seeing such a scene, Nelson couldn't sit still. He quickly picked up his medical bag, walked over quickly, and cooperated with Catherine to examine the patient.
After Nelson left, Jason looked around boredly and found a chair to sit down.
Leo walked around and looked around. Also following his habit, the first thing he noticed was the doors and windows of the big clinic and small hospital.
The door they came in just now should be the back door. The main door is directly opposite the back door. There is also a piece of white cloth to separate the inside and outside. Although the room is sealed, it does not make people feel stuffy. I guess it is similar to the surroundings of the room.
It has something to do with the ventilation pipes rolled out of iron sheets in the upper corner.
Just because the outside air is industrial waste, even if it is introduced into the room by the ventilation duct, the air in the room is still very bad. In such a bad air environment, the patients here can still be cured, except for these people's physical constitution
In addition to being strong enough and lucky enough, Catherine's medical skills are also involved.
After the surrounding environment data was entered into the secondary brain system, Leo walked to a small open room next to the main entrance. There were various dried herbs and animal specimens placed in this room.
After taking a quick look, he was about to turn around and leave, but he stopped and his eyes fell on a hard black object on the table that looked like an ordinary stone.
With suspicion, Leo stepped forward and picked up the stone-like hard object, and saw a message coming from the accessory brain system, saying: "High-energy matter was found. The energy level is too low and cannot be absorbed."
After getting the answer he wanted, Leo put down the hard objects, looked at some dissection tools on the table that had not been wiped clean, and then looked at the dismembered rat-like animal body parts in the trash can next to the dissection table.
