Chapter 3 City Edge

After changing to a police aircraft in the parking lot, the noisy world fell silent.

The aircraft headed west all the way to the edge of the tree of life. During this journey, Shen Si Wei did not close his eyes to rest, and kept looking at the scenery outside the window.

Compared with what he remembers, the appearance of the city in the West District has not changed much, and the iconic buildings are still the ones he is familiar with, but there are many three-dimensional advertisements placed between high-rise buildings, many of which Shen Siwei does not recognize.

"Sir, how does it feel to live on the top floor?"

The soldier started talking to Wei Shen again.

To be honest, Shen Siwei has not been to the top floor a few times, so he can only answer based on his intuitive feeling: "There is plenty of sunshine."

"There's sunlight on the ground floor too."

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the aircraft crossed the boundary line between light and dark, and drove into the area exposed to direct sunlight.

Because the structure of the tree of life is covered by layers, most cities in the western region can only see the sun in the evening.The closer to the edge, the brighter the light. When the sun shines into the cockpit of the aircraft, it means that several people are now approaching the edge of the West Zone.

From a distance, there is a boundless desert beyond the wall of the West District.

The high temperature makes it difficult for people to survive in the desert, but compared with the harsher environments in the other three directions outside the tree of life, the desert is already considered livable.

Because of this, most of the criminals who were exiled outside the tree were active in the desert. Over time, an underground city appeared in the desert, which is a veritable "City of Criminals".

"Sir, there are still two kilometers to reach the destination." The soldier's voice brought Wei Shen Si back to his thoughts.

The aircraft began to lower its altitude, approaching the industrial area between the cities below.

The assembly line work in the factory has long been replaced by AI, and there are few people in the industrial area.However, just as the aircraft began to fly close to the roof of the factory building, the instrument screen in front suddenly flashed red light, warning that the aircraft was locked by weapons.

Everything happened too fast, just as Lieutenant Shen Si and the two soldiers looked at the screen, the aircraft was hit by a howitzer fired from below.

The centrifugal force of the extremely fast tail drop caused Wei Shen's back to press against the seat, and the aircraft quickly crashed on the ground, and the entire seat was knocked out of place.

Huge thick smoke and spreading fire blocked Wei Shen's sight, he subconsciously raised his arms to block the oncoming heat wave, but found that his exposed skin could not feel the scorching heat.

Even though he was actually brushed by the flames, his skin was still smooth and flawless.

It seemed that what Mo Lin said was right, he would be unscathed in this situation, and it really didn't make sense to crush a glass.

Looking at the clothes on his body, although they were blackened by the thick smoke, they were made of flame-retardant materials and did not catch fire.

Lieutenant Shen Si unbuckled his seat belt and immediately checked the situation of the two soldiers in the front seat, but both of them were covered in blood and were not breathing.

Shen Siwei was inevitably a little annoyed, no one expected this kind of thing to happen, which also caused the three of them to be unprepared.

But then again, how could someone intercept and kill the negotiator halfway?

Before he had time to think too much, Shen Siwei broke the glass window with his elbow and climbed out of the burning aircraft.

Just then, he heard a voice nearby.

"Fuck, he's not dead!"

"Shoot!"

"Let him die!"

The dense bullets were fired from the front, and Shen Si Wei used his elbow to block his forehead, the flames dazzled him so much that he could barely open his eyes.

Although the bullet hit the body without pain or itching, it felt like being splashed with water. Even a harmless drop of water was enough to block the line of sight and make people feel irritable.

A red whirlwind blew up in the light blue eyes, and Shen Siwei's anger value kept soaring.

The four people not far away were holding assault rifles and gradually approached the crashed aircraft. The fierce flames from the guns never stopped, but they couldn't stop the white figure in the flames from crawling forward.

"What's going on? Why can't he be killed?"

"What the fuck is this monster?"

Shen Siwei kept his head down all the time, holding down the metal mask with one hand, so as not to let the lifeblood fall.

Numerous holes were punched out of the white cloak, and the iron skin of the aircraft was also shattered.Although Lieutenant Shen Si was still unscathed, it was really difficult to increase his speed while crawling under the hail of bullets.

Maybe a few minutes later, or maybe just a few seconds later, Shen Siwei's knees climbed out of the cockpit window.

Finally, he raised his head.

The calm light blue turned into murderous scarlet at some point, and the powerful aura seemed to slow down the overwhelming bullets.

Shen Siwei could clearly see a bullet shooting straight into his eyes, but he did not close his eyes, but stretched out his hand to hold the bullet.

The slowed time returned to normal at this time, Shen Siwei threw back the bullet in his hand, and precisely pierced a person's throat.

The other three immediately lost ground and began to yell at each other to retreat, but they walked too close to Captain Shen Si and had no time to find cover.

A white shadow flashed, and someone had their neck broken.

Before the remaining two could react, their throats were cut by the sharp blade.

At this time, the crashed aircraft suddenly exploded, and thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.

The shock wave of the explosion and the blazing fire had no effect on Wei Shen. He stood there expressionless, wiped the blood off the dagger with his ripped cloak, and then threw the cloak beside the dead body.

"Colonel Molin." Lieutenant Shen Si turned on the communicator and informed Molin of the situation in front of him.

While speaking, the scarlet in his eyes gradually dissipated, and returned to a cool light blue.

"In short, someone wants to kill me." Shen Siwei concluded.

"Is it a refugee?" Mo Lin said in a serious tone, "How could anyone dare to kill a nobleman?"

"I don't know." Shen Siwei squatted down and checked the wrists of the dead bodies one by one. He saw a scar where the identity chip should have been implanted, and there was no foreign body sensation when rubbing it with his fingers. It can be seen that these people had all removed the identity chip. .

Maureen: "Show me the picture, and I'll investigate."

There is only a little afterglow left in the sky, which indicates that the night is coming.

Without the aircraft, Captain Shen Si still had to go to City Z.He found a modified off-road vehicle driven by four killers behind the factory building not far away, and embarked on the road to Z City alone.

It was not far from the destination when it was attacked, and about ten minutes later, Lieutenant Shen Si saw the roadblock set up ahead from a distance.

A few people who looked like refugees were sitting by the roadblock playing cards. When they saw the off-road vehicle approaching, they immediately picked up the weapons beside them.

"Who is it?" Someone shouted at Wei Shen.

Shen Siwei stepped on the brake slowly and got out of the car calmly.It's just that the uniform on his body is not much better than the discarded cloak. There are traces of smoke and fire everywhere, and there are many holes made by bullets.

Several refugees did not recognize Shen Siwei immediately, and looked at each other for a while, before someone asked tentatively: "Negotiator?"

"It's me." Shen Siwei looked at the few people indifferently, raised his chin neither humble nor humble, "I'm looking for Kleite."

"You are..." Someone looked at Wei Shen who looked embarrassed, and then looked at the thick smoke rising in the distance, and asked, "Is there something going on in front?"

Shen Siwei didn't want to talk nonsense, and said with a blank expression: "Let Ke Leite come to see me."

The little guys didn't dare to do anything to Wei Shen, seeing that the negotiator didn't want to talk to them, so they had to report when they should.

Neon lights illuminate the dimly lit streets, and strip clubs blare.

Kleite sat alone in the booth, holding a wine glass in one hand and a tablet computer in the other, his eyes fell on the electronic map, and he had no interest in the swaying buttocks on the stage.

The energy stations in each area are marked on the map, no matter which ones, they are all heavily defended.

A figure suddenly appeared beside him, Malken put his arm around the beauty's waist, and said to Kreit casually: "Boss, the negotiator is here, are you really not going to talk?"

"Don't talk about it." Klett didn't look up, still looking at the flat screen, "The Mags won't do us any favors."

"I think so too." Malken nodded solemnly, agreeing, "It must have come to trick us."

Kreiter stopped talking, and Malcolm returned to the stage with the beauty in his arms, as if the brief conversation just now had never happened.

After the sun set, the city center in the distance was very lively, but the edge of the city where Wei Shen was located was completely dark.

"Has your boss not come yet?"

Shen Siwei waited impatiently. He didn't know whether Krete was deliberately trying to show him off, or it took so long to send a message.

But at this moment, the sound of the engine suddenly sounded, and three or five modified cars drove up ahead, and the dazzling headlights in front of the cars made Shen Siwei frowned.

After a while, several cars stopped around Wei Shen, and a dozen tall and burly men got out of the cars.

The man walking in the front had a mohawk hairstyle, and his entire right arm was replaced with a mechanical prosthesis.

Shen Siwei knew at a glance that it was an illegal modification.

The mechanical prosthetic body can only be used for military and medical purposes. Normally, it will be covered with human skin after installation, so it cannot be seen that it is a machine.

But the prosthetic body of Mohican is obviously a machine, the circuits and parts are exposed in the air, shining a frightening silver light.

"How can you make the negotiator wait here?" Mo Xigan walked towards Wei Shen with a grin.

Shen Si Wei read the information beforehand, and knew that this person was called Ba En, the second in command of the refugees, who committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting.

People like him are willing to be Kleite's subordinates, which makes the military even more curious about Kleite's background.

"Where's Kreit?" Lieutenant Shen Si asked.

"He has something to do." Bain looked Wei Shen up and down, "I'll take you in first."

Shen Siwei didn't move, he always felt that Bahn gave him a bad feeling.

"Why, please don't move you?" Bain smiled hoarsely, gestured his men to open the car door with his chin, and then said to Wei Shen, "Get in the car, I'll take you to see Kreiter."

As soon as Bahn finished speaking, the dozen or so men standing around all took half a step forward at the same time. The meaning of the threat could not be more obvious-you can go up if you don't.

Shen Siwei looked at these people calmly, only to hear Barn add: "Or, you want to wait here until dawn."

Waiting is definitely impossible.

Lieutenant Shen Si wasn't sure what these refugees, or Kreiter, meant, so he could only take one step at a time.

He walked towards the modified car, but at this moment Barn suddenly reached out to stop him: "Negotiator, is our territory so easy to enter?"

Shen Siwei frowned slightly: "What do you want?"

"Of course it was searched."

After saying this, Bane took a step forward as a matter of course, and touched Wei Shen Siwei's back to his waist with his hands.

"I'm not carrying a weapon." Lieutenant Shen Si frowned impatiently, suppressing the urge to kill in his heart.

"It doesn't matter what you say." Barn approached Captain Shen Si, exhaled and sprayed on his mask, "I'll know after touching it."

Keeping his hands down, he touched Wei Shen's straight legs, and then... he found a dagger in his military boots.

It was the one Shen Siwei used to kill people just now.

"Tsk tsk." Bahn shook his head, and slapped Shen Siwei's face with the blade of a dagger, "It's not a good habit to lie, negotiator."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and winked at his subordinates: "Take it away."
