Zhang Xiaoman simply wore a second-level fearless suit.
Although this piece of clothing looks very mysterious, it seems much more ordinary than the Pole Star Robe with its special streamer effect.
He strolled through this area interspersed with sewage and pipes. Rat-like creatures appeared around him from time to time, creating a messy scene.
There is no need for too much explanation. Just from the environment, it can be seen that the order here must be equally unbearable. Ordinary people like Nari may never come down here in their lives.
After walking for a distance along the sewage river on the roadside, Zhang Xiaoman walked towards the black market.
He didn't know the specific location, but Yang Yangyang had already told him the general location and characteristics of the black market, and Zhang Xiaoman planned to go there first to see the situation.
Because the aphotic zone is built at the bottom of the city, it is almost never exposed to light.
Similarly, while avoiding scarlet light pollution, the visibility on the road also becomes very poor.
When Zhang Xiaoman occasionally passed by a few stores, he could see torches outside the doors to tell others that transactions could be conducted here.
Of course, he spent most of the time walking in the darkness. The power system here was not immune because light could not shine in. The entire Ancient Length Galaxy had been completely paralyzed.
"Shashasha..."
There was a whistling sound, and a thin, black hand quietly reached into Zhang Xiaoman's pocket from behind.
"Ah……"
Zhang Xiaoman smiled softly, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing.
He didn't even need to look, he could catch the other party's actions just by hearing.
The dark energy oscillated into invisible fluctuations, gently pushing the person behind him away.
The thief was stunned for a moment, thinking it was his imagination, and took two quick steps to follow.
Immediately afterwards, as he reached out his hand again, the sudden force appeared again. The force here was stronger than before, and it brought his whole body into the ditch beside him.
"oops!"
The man screamed and ran up from the sewage. Looking at the back of Zhang Xiaoman who was still walking, a look of resentment flashed on his face.
"Okay! It's really you who caused the trouble!"
This man caught up with him in two or three steps.
Because the surroundings were too dark, he actually didn't see clearly what happened just now.
It's just that there is only Zhang Xiaoman in front of him, and there will be no one else besides him.
"Stop! Why are you pushing me!"
The man blocked him in front of him, and at the same time, four or five more figures came out of the darkness, all of them seemed to be in the same group.
Zhang Xiaoman frowned and looked at the other party.
As the saying goes, only three things come true. He had already given these guys a chance, but he didn't expect them to be so ignorant.
"Boy, you're new here, right? I've never seen you before. Why, you can't stay up there any longer, so you come here to make a living?"
When the man saw his companion appear, he suddenly became more confident.
"Since you want to make a living here, you must abide by the rules here. Do you know who we are? If you don't want to die, just hand over everything you have on you, otherwise I..."
Zhang Xiaoman was no longer interested in listening anymore. He waved casually, and the man flew out as if he had been hit by a car, and was loaded into the garbage pile with a "bang".
Several companions nearby were dumbfounded. The power displayed by the opponent's attack was obviously beyond that of ordinary humans.
"You, you are a genetic warrior!?"
The leader, a tall and thick man, said in panic.
Several other people also took a few steps back, obviously frightened by the scene just now.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at them and saw that these guys were quite sensible, so he didn't bother to argue with them anymore and planned to leave after passing them.
"Big, big brother! Wait a minute!"
The man suddenly shouted.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoman had no intention of staying, he quickly ran a few steps to catch up and said at the same time:
"Brother, please wait! I have something very important to tell you!"
"Um?"
Zhang Xiaoman was a little curious and wanted to see what this guy wanted to do.
The big man stood two steps away from him, with an expression of joy on his face, which didn't look like he was faking it.
"Brother, it's like this. Our boss has been looking for a genetic warrior like you. He has a plan and wants to cooperate with you!"
"Oh? Tell me, what's the plan?"
The man hesitated a little when he heard this. He looked at the surrounding environment, and then hesitantly said:
"Here...brother, see if you can take a step to speak..."
Zhang Xiaoman was a brave man and was not afraid of their tricks. He nodded and said, "Lead the way."
Those people all showed expressions of surprise. Two of them ran over to pick up the companion who had just been beaten, while the other people led the way.
The group of people soon came to a dilapidated small house. There was a torch hanging next to the metal door. Through the light of the fire, they could see a few small water-drop words written on the door plaque.
"Luan Tavern..."
Zhang Xiaoman muttered softly, and then followed these guys in.
"Boss! Quick! Prepare a private room for us! We have important guests!"
As soon as the rugged man entered, he shouted at a middle-aged man behind the bar of the pub.
The middle-aged man originally looked listless, but now he suddenly showed a happy face after seeing the guests coming in.
"Pedlio! Why is it you!"
However, when he saw the appearance of the visitor clearly, the joy on his face immediately dissipated and turned into a constipated expression.
"Pedlio! I have no more wine here! It's been so many days since the apocalypse, and all my survival supplies have been sold out. You'd better leave as soon as possible!"
The man named Pedlio immediately slapped two bags of compressed food on the table and said impatiently:
"Stop talking nonsense! Luan, do you think I don't know? If there is really no wine, then why are you opening the door!? This is the price of the wine, pay now! Go and get me two bottles of the best langur. !”
When the bar owner saw the two bags of compressed food on the table, he immediately stopped trying and took the things into his arms as if snatching them. Then he muttered:
"Two bags of Qingmicao dry food are not worth so much Langk wine. I will give you a pot at most..."
Pedlio ignored him and took Zhang Xiaoman straight into the inner private room.
In fact, this place is not so much a private room as a small room with partitions. The appearance is the same as the environment in the entire dark zone. It is mainly made of dark metal and is dilapidated, giving off a cyberpunk flavor.
"You all go out and stand at the door. Don't let anyone come over and eavesdrop!"
Pedlio was also a small leader among several people and gave orders to his subordinates.
Suddenly there were only two people left in the room.
Zhang Xiaoman's curiosity became more intense when he saw such a big battle the other party had created. He wanted to see what kind of medicine the other party was selling in the gourd.
On the table were two small metal cups filled with pink wine. There were no desserts or side dishes, and they looked very shabby when they were empty.
Pedlio didn't realize this at all. He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Here, in such an environment, being able to drink a little langur is already the rarest good time for people living on this planet.
Zhang Xiaoman also picked up the wine glass and took a sip. For him, there was no such thing as poisoning.
I have to say that although this pink lang wine looks a bit unremarkable, the taste is really eye-catching.
He didn't drink alcohol originally, but he tried it on a whim and found that the wine on this planet tasted so good.
It has the aroma and mellowness of the fine wine on Aquamarine, but at the same time it lacks the irritating spicy taste. The taste in the mouth is very smooth, which makes people have endless aftertaste. Even he, a non-drinker, is willing to drink it. try.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the yellow iron wine glass in his hand with a little surprise. He didn't expect to be able to drink such a delicious thing in such an inconspicuous place.
"Haha, brother, this Langke wine is also a specialty of our aphotic zone. It uses some fungi as the main raw material. Even if the people above want to drink it, they can't drink it."
When Pedlio saw Zhang Xiaoman's reaction, he immediately became energetic. Knowing that this was his first time drinking, Pedlio began to introduce the wine in his hand earnestly.
"Okay, you took so much effort to call me over. Just tell me what's going on."
"Aha... Brother is so cheerful! In this case, I won't waste my time."
Pedlio laughed dryly, put down the wine glass in his hand, put on an extremely mysterious expression, and said:
"I don't know, brother, do you know that our boss is the number one warrior in the black market - Thor!"
"Thor?"
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head.
He had heard this name before, but it was a blond man with a hammer flying around in the sky. It should not be the same person he was talking about.
"What does your boss want from me?"
"It's like this. Our boss recently assigned us a task, asking us to find other genetic warriors, that is, existences like you, big brother. He has a big business to discuss with you!"
"Big business?"
"That's right!"
Hearing this, Pedlio moved closer to the table and said in a low voice:
"Our boss knows that there is a place where many treasures are hidden, but he needs a helper to get there smoothly. As long as you are willing to join forces with him, he can give you half of the good things afterwards!"
"Oh? Then where is the good place you said, and what is the baby?"
Pedlio turned his head and looked in the direction of the door, as if he was afraid of being overheard by others, and said in a lower voice:
"To be honest, our boss was not originally from our aphotic zone. He is a genetic warrior just like you and came from somewhere else."
"I don't know the specific location, but our boss said it's not within the city and we need to go outside the city."
"As for what the thing is... I can tell you first. It is a warehouse of supplies, a large number of Corona combat uniforms, and even two Guards-class mechas. It's a pity that there are such The damn red light exists, and those two mechas may not be usable..."
As he described, Zhang Xiaoman's originally casual expression gradually became serious. Especially when he heard about a large number of Corona combat uniforms and two mechas, he felt even more happy.
Isn't the purpose of his coming to the aphotic zone this time just to find the Corona combat uniform?
I originally thought that I would only be able to find one at most today, but I didn't expect to meet such a person on the way.
When he thought of the equipment that Pedlio mentioned, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but feel waves in his heart.
Maybe for these people, the city they talk about is indeed more dangerous outside, because there are a large number of alien beasts in the wilds of this planet, which are mutant beasts created by Markula on the Aqua Blue Planet.
These mutant beasts have lived in those places for a long time. Because of their powerful strength and terrifying reproduction speed, the federal army cannot clean them up, and they will even suffer small-scale damage as a result.
Fortunately, when the federal technology was developing, there were no shortage of scientific research points for defense. Various defensive forts were erected on the edge of the city. Those monsters could not easily break through the defense lines there.
However, now due to the appearance of the scarlet light, all the powerful mutant beasts have been infected and transformed into even more terrifying aberrations.
In this way, the risk factor of areas outside the city increases exponentially. It is no wonder why the boss Pedlio mentioned does not dare to go there easily.
"That is to say, your boss came from there before, and now he wants to go back, is that right?"
Zhang Xiaoman asked.
"Well……"
Pedlio was stunned for a moment, but he also heard the implication of his words.
Since there are so many good things there, why bother traveling across mountains and rivers to get there?
He paused and explained:
"Hehe, brother, don't doubt me. I promise I didn't lie to you. He came back from there because he had no choice..."
"He was originally from this city and had a daughter here. He ran over there risking his life just to come back and save his daughter. But unfortunately, when he came back, his daughter had become Savarudo…”
Zhang Xiaoman nodded. He understood that as a father, it was reasonable for the other party to do this.
He pondered for a moment. This opportunity was indeed very good, and he couldn't let it go no matter what.
But after successfully finding the place, how to distribute the things there needs to be renegotiated.
But it was obviously meaningless to tell Pedlio about this matter. He immediately agreed and said:
"Well, it sounds like a good deal. I agreed. Where is your boss now? Take me to see him."
