The modified car headed towards the city center, passing through neon tunnels and intricate viaducts.

On both sides of the road, most of the shops and apartments have their lights turned off. Although the city's infrastructure has not been damaged by refugees, the depression can still be seen from the empty buildings.

An unmanned light rail train passed overhead, and there were hardly any people in the carriage.

Shen Siwei withdrew his gaze from the car window, and inquired calmly: "Are you running without electricity here?"

In order to reduce energy consumption on the upper floor, people are not encouraged to come out for activities at night.Every night after eight o'clock in the evening, public transportation in the underlying cities will be suspended.

So normally, Shen Siwei shouldn't have seen that light rail.

"Isn't it miraculous?" Bahn didn't directly answer Shen Siwei's question, and his tone was a bit tantalizing, "We are not controlled by the above here."

"Why?" Shen Siwei asked along the words.

The purpose of his trip was to find out about this matter, otherwise he would have sent Bahn to see God.

Bain shrugged and said indifferently, "Then you have to ask Kreit."

This answer is in line with the information the military already possesses. Except for Krete, no one knows what is going on with the city's energy supply.

Shen Siwei stopped inquiring, and moved his gaze out of the window again.

The deserted neighborhood is empty, only AI cleaners are diligently patrolling the streets.

The small robot picks up the peels on the side of the road, takes half a second to judge the properties of the peels, then opens its mouth, throws the peels into the built-in combustion furnace, and solves the combustible garbage on the spot.

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire sounded out of thin air, and several bullets hit the little robot, turning it into a pile of scrap metal in an instant.

Shen Siwei followed the gunshots and saw that a store had activated its defense system, sifting the two refugees who were about to rob.The little robot happened to be next to the shop, lying innocently on the gun.

The shopkeeper stood at the door of the shop, holding a shotgun in his hand, and yelled at the corpses of the refugees: "If I can't afford it, get out!"

"What an idiot." Bahn's contemptuous voice sounded next to his ears, "I clearly reminded them not to mess with stores with defense systems."

The residents of City Z in the West District did not all evacuate, some stayed behind closed doors at home, and some relied on the installation of defense systems in the shops to operate normally.

Now that this place has become a war zone, prices have naturally soared.In the situation just now, it is estimated that the shopkeeper was asking for a lot of money, and the refugees were moved to rob.

But these are not important to Wei Shen, he only feels pity for the little robot.

Not long after, the modified car slowly drove into the music square in the city center.

A dirty small container was placed on the square, and many refugees stood or sat around the square, looking like they were waiting to watch the excitement.

Shen Siwei suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he frowned and looked at Bahn and asked, "Where's Kreit?"

Bahn raised his chin, pointed at the container and said, "It's in the headquarters."

It was pitch black in the container, and I couldn't see anything clearly.Lieutenant Shen Si didn't believe that it would be the so-called headquarters at all, but he only heard Barn say again: "The headquarters is underground, and the container is the entrance."

Sounds reasonable, but still weird.

——Why did you make the entrance so conspicuous?

Shen Siwei got off the car, looked around vigilantly, and stood still.

Bahn seemed to have lost his patience. While walking into the container, he turned his head and urged Wei Shen, "Negotiator, don't you want to see Kreit?"

Lieutenant Shen Si really wanted to see Kleite, and he didn't want to waste any more time.

Seeing that Bahn himself got into the container, Shen Si slightly dispelled his doubts.He walked in behind Bahn, but when the two of them entered the darkness completely, the bad premonition came true.

Bahn in front of him suddenly made a strange noise. With the help of the faint light, Wei Shen found that Bahn had rolled forward in a circle and distanced himself from him.

In the next second, black shadows flashed back and forth, and the sound of the iron door closing followed.

Before Captain Shen Si had time to figure out the current situation, he saw the iron sheet of the container suddenly fall outwards, revealing the square iron cage hidden in the box.

There are two iron doors at the front and back of the iron cage, similar to the gull-wing doors of a sports car, which are covered from top to bottom.

Bahn deliberately distanced himself from Shen Siwei, and then remotely released the two iron doors fixed on the top of the container. When the two iron doors were closed, Shen Siwei could be locked in the iron cage.

Whistles erupted one after another in the square, and the excited atmosphere seemed to hunt exotic animals.

At the same time, the fountain in the music square suddenly turned on, and the water column shot high into the sky like a salute, responding to the crazy cheers of the people.

Bean-sized drops of water fell from the sky, drenching Shen Siwei's hair and clothes.The dirty uniform stuck tightly to his body, making him look embarrassed, but it made the onlookers even more excited.

"The negotiator is wet!"

"Big water!"

Shen Siwei lowered his eyes expressionlessly, letting the water drops slide over his cheeks.

He glanced coldly at the iron cage that locked him, and found a lot of hair and blood on the railing, guessing that it was a cage used by refugees to hunt monsters.

The environment outside the tree of life is harsh, not only because of the bad weather, but also because of the rampant distortion monsters caused by radiation.This is also the reason why refugees always want to return to live in the tree of life.

If Wei Shen remembers correctly, the refugees did not have such large tools for hunting monsters in the past. It seems that during the 20 years he has been frozen, a lot of changes have taken place outside.

"Negotiator, don't just stand still!" Someone shouted at Wei Shen, "Take off your gloves first!"

The others immediately booed: "Yes! Take it off bit by bit! Brother will buy you new clothes!"

Listening to the unbearable obscene words, Shen Siwei closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that came up in his heart.

His muscle strength is stronger than Bane's mechanical right arm, and he can break the iron bars of the cage without any effort.

But he can't do it.

Once the identity is exposed, it means that the mission has failed.In any case, Shen Si Wei did not want to return without success.

"What, is the money not in place?" Bain was the closest to Lieutenant Shen Si, his obscene gaze was undisguised.

He woke up the microcomputer in his palm, called up the currency payment system, and then flicked the virtual gold coin projected in midair towards Wei Shen with his thumb.

Most people will not deliberately close the payment channel, so Shen Siwei's microcomputer automatically captures the transmitted currency code and sends out a prompt: "50 coins have been received."

Barn laughed loudly: "Is that enough for you to get naked now?"

The suppressed anger was on the verge of erupting, Shen Siwei moved his fingers, wanting to break open the iron cage, but finally endured it.

So this is the gift that Clayte gave him?

Indeed, he did not hurt the nobleman, but gave him a humiliating package.

The calls for Shen Siwei to take off his clothes became louder and louder, testing his endurance all the time.

But at this moment, the sound of roaring motors suddenly sounded from the outside of the square, and several off-road vehicles slowly drove into the center of the square and stopped beside the iron cage.

The square immediately became silent, and even the musical fountain stopped.

Several people got out of the car, Shen Siwei recognized at a glance that the man walking in front was Kleite.

The height of 1.9 meters five is more oppressive than it looks in the video, and the tough facial features seem to be more exquisite than sculptures, and every line is just right to highlight the heroic spirit.

He was wearing a tight black T, a tactical vest, fingerless gloves on his hands, and a pair of high-top Martin boots.His deep eyes swept across the refugees on the square, everyone avoided their sight in unison, and no one dared to say anything.

Seeing such a scene, an idea suddenly popped up in Shen Siwei's mind—Kreit seemed to be unaware of what happened here.

Withdrawing his gaze from his subordinates, Kleite casually glanced at Lieutenant Shen Si, then looked at Bahn and said, "It's very lively."

There was no emotion in his tone, as if he was just stating objective facts.But judging by the reaction of other refugees, this does not seem to be a good sign.

"Just for fun." Barn pointed at Captain Shen Si with his chin, "I brought the negotiator here."

"Did I let you catch me?" Kreit asked.

"They came all the way to negotiate with us, how can they just let them go back like this? You have to first—" At this point, Barn paused, and then said, "Exchange, right?"

"Then have you finished communicating?" Kreit asked again, without any ups and downs in his tone.

Bahn was just talking nonsense, and didn't know how to answer, so he looked away resentfully.

"If I say I won't talk about it, I won't talk about it." Crater was no longer polite, and stepped forward to lean on Bahn, warning in a low voice, "Be honest and don't cause trouble for me."

The refugees around the square might not be able to hear the conversation between the two bosses clearly, but Shen Siwei, who was right next to him, could hear it clearly.

Obviously, Clayte didn't want to negotiate with him, and he didn't mean to see him at all. It was Bahn's own initiative and brought him into the city.

"I'll take him away." After throwing down the warning, Kreit took a step back and resumed his normal volume.

He walked to the iron cage, opened the locked iron door with his bare hands, and said to the wet Shen Siwei: "Come out."

Shen Siwei raised his eyebrows subtly.

This iron cage is not a toy. Judging from the twisted iron bars at the lock, it is impossible to open the iron door with bare hands without considerable strength.

——Could it be that Clater's arm is also a mechanical prosthesis?

Before he had time to think too much, Wei Shen walked out of the iron cage for the time being.

Barn, who was on the side, was obviously not reconciled to Shen Si being taken away by Kreiter, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "No matter how you say it, I caught him back. Take him away if you say so?"

With Bahn taking the lead, the other refugees seemed to suddenly gain confidence, and followed suit: "That's right, why are you unreasonable?"

The voice of protest grew louder, and the few people who followed Kreit loaded their bullets, and the booing refugees all took out their weapons.

This scene surprised Shen Siwei a bit, it turned out that the refugees were not united.

The smell of gunpowder became more and more intense. During the stalemate between the two sides, Krete calmly opened the payment system and flicked a virtual gold coin to Bahn: "Is that enough?"

Bahn's microcomputer immediately issued a notification sound: "1 coin has arrived."

Crater's men couldn't help but sneered, but Barn's face was very ugly.

One dollar is no different from sending a beggar.

Lieutenant Shen Si suddenly had a negligible liking for Kleite, because Bahn had humiliated him like this just now, at least Kleite helped him find it.

But after thinking about it, Shen Siwei felt something was wrong again.

His body took 20 years to build, incorporating the military's most advanced black technology.

Although he wasn't sure how expensive his body was, Kreit actually bought him for a dollar. Did you ask his opinion?

Crater ignored Bahne, turned around and walked towards the off-road vehicle.

He exposed his back defenselessly, but even so, Bane didn't dare to make small moves behind his back.

Before getting into the car, Kleite stopped, and finally his eyes fell on Captain Shen Si.

He looked Wei Shen up and down, then took out a coat through the car window and threw it on Wei Shen's head: "Get in the car."
