MTL - Crimson Comes-Chapter 4 scrap iron city

The original plan was to send Wei Wei to Scrap Iron City to report, but the instructor failed to hold on for the last few hours.

It left early.

Just before leaving, Wei Wei hugged his neck and begged, promising to deliver new bullets within a month.

Wei Wei, on the other hand, drove his jeep by himself and quietly drove to this marginal town.

In the early morning, when the sun finally shone on this dark land, Wei Wei drove into the old gas station on the west side of this marginal town.

Taking the time of refueling, he glanced at this small city from a distance that he had not returned for three years, and saw streets and buildings that seemed to be older than three years ago, as well as more Got some traffic and drilling rigs.

He couldn't tell if it was gratification or emotion, but he suddenly felt a sense of calm.

In the distance, the quarry workers who got off the night shift are walking lazily to the town in twos and threes.

Some still hold steamed buns and fritters in their hands, nibbling on them as they walk.

The nun of the Church of the Faceless God by the road had opened the door and was drying dried sweet potatoes on the concrete floor.

In the distance, sick and homeless children in sacks were rummaging through the mountains of garbage to find the "baby" they needed.

Everything is so familiar, but there is a sense of alienation for three years.

But, finally came back.

…

…

Scrap Iron City.

A small town with a population of less than one million, before the radiation force of the Spiritual Barrier Project covered it, it was just a gathering place for homeless people who made a living by selling and collecting scrap iron. Later, the barrier plan was included in the third city circle, and it was still on the edge of the edge. Only a quarry was developed and there was a poor oil well, which barely made it a little pillar industry.

But if you say you get rich by working...

There is no such possibility.

Probably because of this gloomy future, the faces of the people here seem to be covered with a gloom.

Wei Wei entered the town along the dilapidated road that crossed from the town.

Along the way, he saw a giant clown standing at the entrance of the town, because the line had not been repaired for a long time, resulting in two giant clowns with only one eye like a beacon.

It stared at this one eye with an exaggerated smile on its face.

Looking at every vehicle that drove into the small town, the hat in his hand didn't seem like a salute. No matter how you look at it, it looks like you want to throw it out and hit someone.

At the entrance of the bar, which is halfway through the door, there are twos and threes of young people dressed in fancy clothes and covered with silver nails.

Behind the glass window of the butcher's shop, an unshaved pig's head was placed on the table, facing the vehicles and pedestrians on the street.

The pig's mouth is long and narrow, and it always looks like it's smiling.

…

…

"Broken, depraved, rough..."

Wei Wei sat in the jeep and drove slowly through the street. The street scenes made him feel particularly familiar.

This small town seems to have always been like this.

It also seems that it will continue like this until it is destroyed by some unknown disaster one day.

However, this seems to be a common phenomenon in countless small towns that have been abandoned or disappeared.

Under the influence of certain forces, the influx of madness towards the super metropolis, while the medium-sized and small-scale cities are covered with a desolate and dilapidated temperament, under the hazy sky, like weeds in the wilderness Like, gradually lost its vitality.

Everything stems from that mysterious big bang.

Seventy years ago, the world was still prosperous and life was stable, but suddenly, a strange explosion occurred.

In the whole world, everyone suddenly felt the violent turmoil, saw the firelight, heard the strong explosion, like an unprecedented huge explosion, swept the whole world.

However, after just a few seconds, the terrified people found that nothing had changed in front of them.

The sun is still shining and the building is intact.

The violent explosion just now seemed to be just an illusion.

But if it's just a person's hallucination, it's easy to explain, but everyone in the world has such hallucinations.

Everyone was stumped by this question. Countless experts and scholars from all over the world gathered together to try to give an explanation to this mysterious explosion. But they have done countless research and exploration, and in the end they can only say that this is a rare collective hallucination.

This answer is the official unified statement.

But obviously, this problem cannot satisfy everyone at all.

For a time, various discussions and conjectures emerged one after another on the Internet and among the people.

Some people think this is a signal from the universe that the countdown to some kind of alien attack has begun.

Some people also said that the explosion really happened, and everyone died collectively at that moment.

Now, the whole world is dead.

All kinds of conjectures are arguing with each other, and no one can convince the other.

The mysterious explosion did not seem to have caused any physical changes, but it triggered a strong worldwide panic and anxiety, and as this emotion fermented, more and more problems were triggered, diseases were prevalent, and regional wars continued , a variety of energy sources were dry, social problems emerged one after another, and the seventy-year-long Great Recession of world civilization also began at that time, and the curtain was drawn.

Of course, many people don't know that, and more importantly, the devil has come to reality.

…

…

Gently rubbing his face, Wei Wei brought his attention back to reality.

He recognized the streets that seemed to have changed a lot in the past three years, and slowly drove towards the center of the city.

The place he was going to was the superhuman garrison base of Scrap Iron City.

Because of the emergence of surreal demonic forces and the great harm that these forces have caused to social order and public safety, the world's major multinational corporations, consortia, and the World Government Alliance, the Institute of Mysterious Forces and other institutions have jointly established the Supernatural The General Transactions Foundation, which investigates, records, researches, cleans up, and utilizes demons and all anomalous things.

The Paranormal Research and Investigation Section planned and established by the Foundation is a secret agency specially designed to purify and deal with these events. Every city with a population of more than one million is stationed at a special base directly under the jurisdiction of the Foundation.

In the base, there is a team of transcendents with the ability to investigate and purify various types of dangerous events, known as:

Extraordinary sheriff!

Of course, based on the size of the city, the strength and conditions of each base also have strengths and weaknesses.

Although according to the instructor's words, Wei Wei's coming here is not conducive to future development, but Wei Wei must come back.

When passing through Central Street, he deliberately turned a corner and looked at a low-rise apartment building from a distance.

It was an apartment building with only about three floors, located in the surrounding tall buildings.

This is a small building that looks ordinary from the outside. It is dark and has no lights, as if it has been uninhabited for a long time.

Wei Wei slowed down a little, took a deep look at the building, and a shadow flashed in his eyes.

Then he stopped delaying, increased his speed, and left quickly.

Ten minutes later, the jeep stopped in front of an inconspicuous building in Scrap Iron City.

Judging from the address, this is the base of the mysterious thing processing team stationed in Scrap Iron City.

However, compared to the mysterious and weird temperament of the work they were responsible for, this small building was obviously too normal.

When Wei Wei walked into this small base, he saw a warm scene.

At the entrance, there is a small signboard with black characters on a white background: Scrap Iron City Environmental Protection Workstation.

"Environmental protection?"

Looking at the name of this small base, Wei Wei had a preliminary understanding of the colleagues in this place.

Due to certain confidentiality and security needs, these action teams stationed in various cities often choose their own disguise. For this kind of camouflage, there are no mandatory norms and requirements above, so teams from all over the world can choose the camouflage style independently, and in the process, they show a strong personal color, and there are all kinds of styles.

There are those who pretend to be security companies, which have a strong will to protect them.

There are people who pretend to be detective agencies, because they have a strong desire for knowledge about supernatural things.

There are those who pretend to be the Hunter Guild, which values ​​bounty more than honor.

In addition, I heard that there are people who are disguised as slaughterhouses. Their team ranks at the top of the supernatural creature hunting list all the year round...

The small base in front of me has the name of an environmental protection organization, so it can be literally understood as:

They pay more attention to messing around and nonsense?

Wei Wei let out a light breath, entered through the modern-looking glass door, and looked at the unit he was about to join.

Inside is a reception hall, behind the curved table is empty, no one is there.

Passing through the report hall, it turned out to be a small courtyard with two people playing billiards with a pole.

A Hu is bushy, but there is not a single hair on his head.

The other has black, smooth and long hair, with a long ponytail tied at the back of his head. His skin is smooth and fair, and he is more handsome than a beauty.

Wei Wei stared deeply at his chest and crotch, making sure that his gaze was not a hooligan.

He is indeed a man more handsome than a beauty.

Next to him was a man who weighed at least 300 catties. He squatted in front of the stove and fanned the flames. There was a pot on it, which was full of meat.

It's them.

Wei Wei thought about the materials he had read, and nodded secretly.

Then he put a polite smile on his face, leaned forward, and said to the bearded man who was turning his head, "I..."

"If you have something to do, go to the Executive Office. We don't collect junk here, nor do we dig stinky ditches."

"Uh, I didn't say that, I'm looking for Captain Ouyang."

"Looking for Captain Ouyang?"

When the other party heard that Wei Wei called out the captain's name, his expression suddenly became serious: "Come back after get off work to collect gambling debts!"

"?"

Wei Wei felt that he accidentally knew more about this Director Ouyang.

Shaking his head with a smile, he raised his voice a little and said solemnly, "My name is Wei Wei, I'm here to report."

"Report?"

The bearded man was slightly surprised, he put down his club, looked at Wei Wei, and said, "Is you the new transferee?"

As soon as these words came out, the handsome opponent who was playing billiards with the bearded man and the fat man who was squatting beside the stove watching the stewing meat turned around in surprise and looked at Wei Wei curiously. , and kept looking at it.

Wei Wei smiled and nodded to the crowd: "Yes, hello seniors."

"Ouch..."

The bearded eyes swept across Wei Wei's somewhat worn jacket and slightly immature face, and he seemed to be able to see the surprise in his eyes, but he immediately covered it up, his face softened, and smiled and shook hands with Wei Wei. He started and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so young. I heard the captain said you would come, wait here for a while, and I'll help you go to his office and call him..."

Wei Wei also said politely, "It doesn't matter, why don't you play first and I'll go over by myself?"

"No way."

The bearded man shook his head, pursed his lips mysteriously, and walked towards the end of the yard with the cue stick.

Going up the steps, there is an office with a closed door. The bearded man eavesdropped on for a while, and suddenly pushed the door and entered:

"Is the captain here?"

"what…"

There was a woman's scream inside.

Then, there was a chaotic sound in the office, and a pink lady's underwear was thrown onto the bearded head.

"?"

Wei Wei looked at the scene in front of him and was a little stunned: "In broad daylight, this is..."

"Oh, oh, oh, what are you doing..."

Soon, a well-dressed man with a suit and vest with gray hair and gold-rimmed glasses walked out in the office. He is very handsome and handsome, and the first impression to people is that he is unimaginably handsome. It is hard to imagine how charming he will be when he is young, a man who is so handsome.

However, with such a good image, his movements are a little embarrassing, UU reading www. uukanshu. Coming walked while pulling the zipper of the front door, complaining at the bearded man who was giggling and grinning, "You can't do this anymore, I'm too old to be scared."

As he spoke, he glanced at him and saw Wei Wei standing in the yard, with a smile on his face.

"Are you the little Wei that the personnel department called earlier?"

He smiled and said, "My name is Ouyang Jian, and I'm our captain here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wei Wei looked up and saw a plump woman walking out of the office behind him.

With a lazy attitude, heavy makeup, wearing a nearly transparent white skirt, she turned her head lazily and went out through the back door.

Wei Wei immediately determined what the captain was doing just now.

Instead of shaking his hand, he took a cautious and honest step back, raised three fingers, and gave him a salute.

"Hello, Captain."

"…"

Captain Ouyang also came to his senses, took back his palm embarrassedly, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Hello, hello, come with me."

Instead of taking Wei Wei back to the office behind him, he took Wei Wei back to the hall in the front yard.

Opening a side door and sitting down, he wiped his hands with a wet towel and put on his reading glasses.

Only then did he open the document Wei Wei brought over, examine it for a moment, and keep nodding his head:

"Okay, okay."

"Wei Wei, 19 years old, the thirteenth trainee of Dongshan Tengshe Training Camp."

"The graduation evaluation is A-."

"The instructor's recommendation is: The student is excellent in both character and study, kind and shy, serious and meticulous in work, civilized and disciplined..."

"…"

Wei Wei was stunned, then nodded sincerely: "Yes, it's me."
