Chapter 11 The night in the city of dawn
In a car that was rusty on the outside but clean and tidy inside, Duke, the co-pilot, was wearing a black robe and a grimace mask, with his whole body covered tightly.
Matthew in the driver's seat is also dressed in the same way.
"Uncle Matthew, where are we going?"
Duke touched the radiation detector on his wrist and asked a little strangely.
The clothes they were wearing were provided by the Ronin Hotel for free, and they were said to be for a party. Duke always felt that this party was not very serious.
"I can understand your feelings for the first time, but don't worry, it will be there soon!"
Matthew comforted him while driving the car.
This is a street behind the Ronin Hotel. Warm yellow incandescent lights shine on the cars, leaving long shadows.
Boom, boom——
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the corner of the street, and the sound became louder and louder. Soon, a huge human-shaped shadow walked out of the night.
"I'll go! What is this?"
After seeing the other party's full appearance, Duke was shocked.
This is a monster that is over two or even three meters tall!
Its upper body has the appearance of a human wearing mechanical armor, and its lower body has four mechanical legs with caterpillar tracks. Its whole body is almost made of mottled steel and exposed wires. Only its head still looks human.
And in its hands, arms, legs and even chest, there are terrifying black barrels!
"Don't worry, this is a sentinel. It belongs to the patrol team of the Metropolitan Police Department and is the awakened person responsible for maintaining the security of Dawn City."
Matthew's expression didn't change, obviously he was used to it.
"Is this the sentinel?"
Duke didn't expect that this turned out to be a human awakened sentinel!
He knew about the Sentinel. Alyssa had given him some knowledge about awakening before. The Sentinel was a profession formed by the innate awakening of a machine and the re-awakening of a machine the day after tomorrow!
Except for some parts of the body, 90% of the body is mechanically modified! The lower limit of combat ability is high, and the upper limit is also high. However, it is said that there is a probability of failure in the awakening of the sentry, and the probability is not low. If it fails, the consciousness of the sentry himself will be lost.
will disappear completely...
Duke knew it, but this was the first time he had seen a sentinel.
The sentry glanced at the car with his emotionless eyes and passed the two of them. Duke's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Being stared at by this thing is always a bit hairy.
Matthew quickly asked as if he remembered something:
"By the way, do you have a gun on you?"
Duke nodded.
"Bring it..."
His marksmanship may not be very good, but combined with his ability to stop time, he can maximize the effectiveness of bullets, although his arms will be sore for a long time afterwards.
"Then don't take it out unless you absolutely have to. Guns are prohibited in the City of Dawn. If you are discovered, especially by a sentry, you may be beaten to death on the spot even if you have a background in the Elvis family! After all,
After awakening as a sentinel, it will affect your personality and even your IQ to some extent, turning you into a single-minded person."
Matthew warned.
"Ah? Ban guns?"
Duke was a little surprised. He recalled that at his funeral, the guests had all kinds of weapons and firearms in their hands, and it didn't look like a ban on guns at all.
When Duke expressed his doubts, Matthew immediately looked at him as if he were a fool.
"Mr. Duke, guess who was behind the gun ban?"
After Matthew gave this reminder, Duke suddenly understood and secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
The people who came to attend his funeral were all major forces in Dawn City. They were obviously responsible for the gun ban, and maybe the Elvis family as well.
"Anyway, remember, as long as you don't take it out in public, or don't be caught using the gun by the Metropolitan Police Department, after all, it is one of the most important laws in the City of Dawn, and we still have to abide by it, at least on the surface.
yes."
"Well, thank you Uncle Matthew for the reminder."
Duke thanked him sincerely.
To be honest, if Matthew hadn't reminded him, he might have broken the law. After all, the moment he saw the sentry, Duke subconsciously touched the revolver in his arms. If the sentry discovered this, there might be big consequences.
Trouble.
"We have a relationship like this. How can we say thank you? We've just met each other! By the way, have you...have you seen your Aunt Kathy recently? Is she still at the Elvis Family Castle? I'm going to take some time to visit, too.
I don’t know if it’s convenient for her…”
Matthew looked at Duke expectantly.
"Aunt Kathy? Isn't she always here in East City? I saw her this afternoon..."
Duke is a little weird.
"Huh? She's been in Dongcheng all this time? I live in Dongcheng, why haven't I seen her? Is she not willing to see me? Hey..."
Matthew scratched his head, a little frustrated.
The atmosphere was a little cold, and the two of them didn't speak any more along the way.
Along the way, Duke saw many sentries, which made him a little confused. It was still late at night on this empty street, and it seemed that there was no need for so many sentries.
And are there too many sentinels?
In his understanding, awakened beings are unique beings and are generally difficult to encounter, but he has seen many sentinels along the way.
Originally he wanted to ask Matthew, but seeing how worried Matthew looked, Duke couldn't bear to disturb the middle-aged man.
"Let's go back and ask Alyssa. There seems to be nothing this little maid doesn't understand..."
Duke thought to himself silently.
"arrive."
Matthew suddenly stopped.
In front of you is a two-story factory building.
From the outside, it looked dilapidated, like an abandoned place, but the two expressionless strong men at the door and the many cars outside told Duke that it was obviously not that simple here.
After arriving here, Matthew's mood obviously improved a lot, and he was even a little excited.
He walked over with Duke and showed something that looked like a black card. One of the strong men nodded and opened the door.
As soon as he came in, Duke felt a heat wave hit his face, and he could faintly hear the screams inside.
It was a double door. Matthew stood in front of the inner door, winked at Duke, and then opened it.
Wow——
"Fuck him to death! Fuck him to death!"
"Kill, kill for me!"
"Come on, he's dying!"
"Haha, that's it! Be more ruthless!"
"Didn't you fucking eat? You're going to beat me!"
"..."
Dazzling lights, noisy shouts, surging heat waves, huge iron cages, people and... monsters in the iron cages!
A spotlight shone over, and Duke subconsciously covered his eyes.
"Haha, kid, are you excited? My first time is almost the same as yours!"
Matthew patted Duke hard on the shoulder, then pulled Duke into the crowd and came to a front desk.
He took out a handful of banknotes from his arms and said to the scantily clad woman in the security window:
"I want to place a bet, number 18, this is my lucky number!"
"Okay, we will show up in an hour on the 18th. Do you need anything else? Our star today is -"
"No!"
Matthew waved his hands impatiently, and then said to Duke:
"Hey, you can also choose a bet."
"No."
Duke waved his hands repeatedly.
He only had more than two thousand yuan, which he couldn't spend in a place like this.
When Matthew saw that Duke had no intention of placing a bet, he pulled Duke and squeezed into the stands like a steel cage, causing everyone to yell at him, but Matthew didn't care. He pointed at the cage and pointed at Duke.
Ke said loudly:
Chapter completed!
