Chapter 82 Fire Fire!
There is almost no cloudy day in Sky City Colombia.
People who live here like to attribute this phenomenon to their great prophet Comstock, who, under the sun, is more similar to the legendary paradise, a city that floats in the clouds with the help of technology.
As the tallest building here, the archangel statue on Monument Island always stands in layers of clouds and mist. With the help of the sunlight behind it, it looks like it has life. The plants planted in various parts of the city seem to appear sacred because of its overlook.
This city is actually composed of large and small floating "islands". Each part is both relatively independent and interrelated. A large number of foldable steel passages and sky rails connect them. People only need to go to the set location at the corresponding time, or take a traffic car on the sky rails to achieve free passage.
But today's Sky City seems to have a little more restlessness.
No less than 10 mechanical aircraft were constantly shuttled through the buildings, and the horns carried on them were constantly broadcasting news, reminding citizens to be careful.
"A group of thugs, who slaughtered and seized firearms at the raffle, have so far lost dozens of police officers. Please be alert to everyone who can pick up weapons and defend their homes and interests."
"The thugs were dressed strangely, and one of them had been identified as a fallen shepherd, who could provide the exact whereabouts of the citizens, who would be received by the prophet!"
Two mechanical airboats were suspended in the air one after another, and the loudspeakers on them were endlessly opening their mouths.
On these slightly noisy days, in addition to the guards who were facing a great enemy and a group of Gu Bin and others who were running wildly, there was another group of people active.
In the City of Sky, there is a force that makes the Prophet Comstock extremely troubled, called "Voice of the People".
Most of the members of Voice of the People come from the slums in the lowest level of Sky City. Those who live here are either exiled due to ideological conflicts or black slaves who were already exploited here. The black people have not obtained their corresponding status and oppression still exists.
After Gu Bin confirmed that the information he had prepared was locked by the system and that the memory in his brain seemed to have problems, he re-entered the path of collecting information and analyzing the plot.
From the road of forgiveness at the beginning to the assembly square later, Gu Bin saw a large number of posters and stalls. From the information of these posters, he inferred the origin of the "Voice of the People".
According to the general version, Comstock has a wife, the lady Comstock who is like the Virgin in the mural of the Path of Forgiveness. One day many years ago, she suddenly died. Comstock found out that the murderer was his own black maid, Fezeroy. After killing the hostess, the black maid fled to the slum and founded the "Voice of the People" to begin to resist the Colombian regime.
Gu Bin was a little uncommon about this kind of thing. He believed that there must be some unknown inside stories in it. Fezeroy might also have grievances, but these inside stories are of no use to them for the time being, because things have happened and the Voice of the People has grown into a force that makes Comstock feel difficult. They should do their own things now.
The whole street was completely in a mess, and Gu Bin's body was stained with a lot of blood. When he was in a melee, he didn't care about showing mercy. Until Gu Bin used his gun to kill a escaped guard, the battle finally came to an end.
"Thank you."
The middle-aged soldier Booker, covered in blood, came over and reached out to shake Gu Bin: "My name is Booker, Booker Dewick."
After a brief introduction, Booker quickly ran to the bodies of the guards and plundered the spoils. He did not have many bullets left in his pistol. The road ahead would definitely be difficult. As a veteran, he understood this very well.
A military dog tag with traces of vicissitudes fell out of Booker's neckline, and Gu Bin, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, completed the screenshot record using the system as soon as possible.
"Black Knee River, December 29, 1890, Seventh Cavalry Regiment, Booker Devik."
"I see."
Gu Bin understood why Booker had such a deep hatred for racial discrimination.
No, after all, it should be guilty?
A long time ago, when browsing film and television background information, Gu Bin occasionally saw a history that was not very famous.
On December 29, 1890, 500 cavalrymen from the Seventh Cavalry Regiment of the United States launched a massacre of the Indian Sioux people in the Wounded Knee River in South Dakota.
At that time, in order to protect the evacuation of local gold diggers, the Seventh Cavalry Regiment was ordered to disperse nearby Indian tribes. One of the tribes called Lakota was surrounded by the cavalry regiment during the final dispersion. In fact, the tribe had handed over all the weapons as required, but the colonel leading the cavalry regiment believed that some people still did not hand over the weapons, so in the following search, it was said that an Indian man named "Black Coyote" with hearing impairment failed to understand the intentions of the cavalry regiment and eventually clashed with the soldiers.
The massacre occurred as a result. According to statistics, most of the victims of the massacre were women and children who were powerless.
No wonder Booker showed such a hatred for racial discrimination. The army is a cold-blooded representative, but the soldiers are just flesh and blood mortals. Under the pressure of military orders, he personally participated in the massacre. This matter must have become a shadow of his life.
After a brief rest, everyone started to move again. Booker found a city guide. They needed to detour from the residential area on the other side and pass through a club called Raven Club to reach the side door of the Monument Island.
"Strange, it's getting hotter."
Xu Qing whispered, and at the same time reached out and pulled the collar. The temperature around him was rising very significantly. There must be some heat source nearby. Could it be that it was on fire?
Gu Bin and Booker nodded in agreement. As a game NPC, Booker naturally felt the surrounding environment like a normal person, while Zheng Mei and the others were a little bit short. They did not adjust their body sensation to 100% like Gu Bin, so the feeling was not strong.
Booker stretched out his hand and pushed open a half-closed door in front of him. This kind of door can often be seen in the Sky City, which has the effect of isolating the area and will be closed once an accident occurs. However, this time Gu Bin and others are too fast. The guard in charge of the door was shot through the throat by Booker before he could lock the door.
Gu Bin and the other four helped. The iron gate was very heavy and few people couldn't push it open.
However, just as the door was opened enough for one person to pass, Gu Bin's temple jumped suddenly, subconsciously pressed Booker's shoulder, and pushed him forward and rushed out.
A ball of extremely hot flame hit the crack of the door like a shell, and Xu Qing, who was slightly closer, even burned a bunch of his hair.
This time it was too sudden. Gu Bin used too much force and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Booker reacted quickly. He rolled around and stood up. He dragged Gu Bin and pulled him behind the pillars of the building next to him.
A human figure dressed in fire appeared in the middle of the street not far away, and a ball of fire exploded. The explosion was exactly where Gu Bin and his two fell to the ground just now.
"Huosu..." Booker said gritted his teeth, then stood up suddenly, and shot the "fireman" continuously, but he didn't know if he had hit it.
Gu Bin immediately realized that this person should belong to the military, but the difference is that he should have used something like the control of the mind, which is what Booker mentioned.
Xu Qing's figure appeared not far from the two of them, and the guns in his hands kept spitting out flames. They were suppressed by fire, and the enemy's attack temporarily stopped.
"Someone comes from behind! Hurry up!"
This was Ye Zhongqi's voice. He and Zheng Mei stayed on the other side of the door and did not come. At the same time, there were violent gunfire sounds on the other side. It seemed that the situation was very bad. I don't know if the other players were coming or the guards equipped with guns.
Gu Bin poked his head out and looked at the "fireman" wearing chemical-proof clothing, and the light in his eyes could hardly drop.
After the opponent threw out the fireball again, he suddenly rushed out from behind the pillar, began to calculate the distance silently in his mind, and equipped two armor for his arms.
Booker was startled, but he had no time to stop his "companion", so he could only grit his teeth and continue shooting. However, the damage of the bullets to the enemy seemed to be very limited, and it did not seem to have any significant effect.
A ball of fire came to his face, with an extremely fast speed. It almost instantly arrived in front of Gu Bin. In Booker's eyes, his "comrade-in-arms" probably didn't even have to send him to the crematorium. If he was hit by this grenade-like fireball, he would not even have the whole body left.
Gu Bin's eyes didn't even dare to blink. Xu Qing in the distance only felt a flash in front of him. Gu Bin's upper body seemed to turn into a thick black fog in an instant. The fireball actually penetrated through his "head" without causing any harm to him.
Having consumed about 25% of his health, Gu Bin chose to "turn Valrid" his upper body into the moment when the fireball hit him, and thrillingly avoided this fatal attack.
"Two steps left!"
