My timeless tavern

Chapter 566 Alita's New Body

"Let him run away!"

Alita stamped her feet helplessly.

She watched helplessly as the big guy, with a broken arm left behind, jumped into the hole in the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Turning around, she found Dr. Yide leaning against the wall, trembling. She hurried forward and reached out to support him.

Through her series of fierce actions, Yide had roughly guessed her origins.

He hesitated to speak, and finally just sighed: "You are injured, I will check your body when I get back."

Alita wanted to refuse, but then she thought that if this body was intact, she could exchange it for some time and space coins in the tavern.

Besides, she would have to go out and search for the crashed Fire Alliance spaceship later, and it would be inconvenient to drag this damaged mechanical body.

"Thank you," she said softly.

The two of them supported each other and walked towards home under the street lights. The dim light made their tall and short figures look very long.

Ide was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Alita, why did you come out?"

Alita did not hide anything and told all her earlier guesses.

She was very calm about her misunderstanding of Yide, but she was also full of curiosity.

She didn't quite understand why an ordinary person who had not received any transformation would take the risk of becoming a bounty hunter to deal with those vicious wanted criminals.

Yide was silent for a moment, then slowly told him about his daughter.

"Her name is Alita." His voice was a little hoarse.

“After her death, my wife and I separated.”

"Only when I hunt these criminals can I find a moment of peace in my heart."

Alita looked at Ido with shining eyes.

She felt the emotions surging in his heart.

He treated her as his daughter, and Alita did not resist.

She has no father or mother, and in her memory she is either training or fighting.

She felt extremely happy about such delicate and warm emotions.

"I like the name Alita very much," she said. "It's much better than No. 99."

Yide paused, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

He had long expected that Alita would recover her memory, but when the moment really came, he still felt a little caught off guard.

He was even a little scared, worried that she would leave him after she recovered her memory.

Even though they had only been together for a short time, he already treated the girl as his daughter.

"Yes, I'm from the Mars Alliance and participated in the Skyfall War..." Alita said calmly.

Ide was silent for a long time before he whispered, "It's hard to leave Earth."

"Even in Salem." These words flashed through his mind.

"Why should I leave?" Alita said, "I like it here."

Seeing her serious expression and sincere tone, Yide felt inexplicably relieved.

"Do you have any ideals?" Alita suddenly asked.

"Like getting younger, or stronger?"

Young? Strong?
Ide was stunned for a moment.

He thought Alita was thinking of the Fire Union's technology.

Rumor has it that the Fire Alliance's mechanical prosthetic body is indeed very impressive, and it displayed extremely strong combat power in the Skyfall Battle.

Did she want to have a body like that for herself?
Yide smiled and politely refused: "I think this is fine now."

As a cyborg doctor, he has no aversion to mechanical bodies.

But for a while, he still found it difficult to accept the idea of ​​having a body like that.

Alita guessed his thoughts and said, "I mean, in this body you have now."

Thinking of what Tushan Honghong and others said, her tone became serious: "The potential of the human body is the strongest."

Yide looked at her doubtfully, then looked at the house that was just around the corner.

"Go home first. I'll help you check your body. Some parts may need to be found."

Alita opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say much.

She thought about what Ide had said earlier.

As a bounty hunter, he is bound to need great strength.

Then give him strength!
Alita looked at Ido's back and made a decision secretly.

Half an hour later, Alita returned to her room.

Her body was not seriously injured, only a few parts were damaged.

There happened to be a backup in Yide's clinic.

It was already late at night.

Alita's brain was extremely excited and she couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

She kept thinking about what she had seen in the tavern.

Those enthusiastic and mysterious guests, and all kinds of incredible wines and treasures, made her want to go there right now.

Thinking of Taiyi Zhenren's promise to use lotus root to make a body for her, Alita became more and more excited.

When dawn broke, she was still full of energy.

After being unable to fall asleep for a long time, she simply got up and planned to look for the remains of the spacecraft.

The Skyfall Battle took place three hundred years ago, but when she thinks back on it now, she still remembers it vividly.

Over the past three hundred years, the Scrap Iron City has changed very little and remains dilapidated and chaotic.

She vaguely remembered the places where the Fire Alliance spacecraft crashed and planned to try her luck there.

Most of the spaceships were seriously damaged, but she remembered that there was one spaceship in better condition and it landed in a special location, so it might still be found.

Those who live in the floating city are extremely arrogant. They may look down on the things of their Fire Alliance and are unwilling to come to the ground.

As for those people living underground, I hope they haven’t discovered it yet.

Alita looked at the gorgeous floating city on the dome.

It is Salem.

Looking at the lofty Salem and imagining it falling into the abyss, Alita inexplicably felt her blood boiling even though she had no blood in her body.

She now intends not to destroy it, but to turn it into a free city-state.

Therefore, she needs strength more than ever!
Facing the looming morning sun, Alita quickly shuttled through the city.

The darkness was dispelled little by little.

Alita walked across a block and reached the lake.

The sun has risen, and the warm sunlight makes the lake sparkle.

Alita remembered that the relatively intact spaceship should have crashed here.

She was about to dive into the water when she heard an argument in the distance.

Alita hesitated, then quickly turned around and ran towards the source of the sound.

She jumped lightly onto a low building, saw several motorcycles roaring towards her, and also saw the source of the quarrel.

Several masked men on motorcycles are chasing and intercepting a cyborg.

The man cursed and begged, but to no avail.

When she approached, the man had been knocked down.

The young men who got off the motorcycle were skillfully pressing him to the ground and dismantling his mechanical limbs.

Plunderer!
Alita recognized it immediately.

Yide had warned her not to run around and to be careful of these people, but she didn't expect to run into them.

"Stop!" Alita jumped out without hesitation.

Her appearance brought a calm to the atmosphere. The cyborg called for help.

Several looters looked at each other.

"Get out of here, this is none of your business!" a raider threatened, raising his weapon.

What responded to him was Alita's heavy and powerful legs.

Fight against the enemy.

Even when one looter waved his hands and shouted "Stop", no one paid any attention.

He was punched by Alita and his mask was knocked to the ground.

Alita was stunned when she saw his appearance.

"Hugo?!" Alita said in disbelief.

This robber was clearly the friend she had just met here.

Although they had only known each other for a few days, she had a good impression of him and learned a lot of new things from him.

But she never expected that the other party was doing such a thing behind her back.

Hugo, who was knocked down by a punch, covered half of his face and looked at Alita's expression, his heart full of embarrassment and regret.

He didn't regret being a robber, but he regretted coming out today, so that he was caught by Alita.

For someone like him who wanted to make a name for himself, he had no other choice but to leave this dilapidated city and live in Salem.

Facing Alita's gaze, Hugo said bitterly, "I'm sorry."

Alita shook her head in disappointment, no longer wanting to speak.

Seeing her turn her head, Hugo suddenly felt as if something very important was about to leave him.

He struggled to get up and shouted, "Listen to my explanation. I said, I just want to save enough money so that I can go to Salem..."

Alita turned around and said in a cold tone: "And then become a walking corpse with your brain removed?"

She looked around and said coldly, "Salem is high up. What we should do is pull it down, not join them!"

"I..." Hugo wanted to explain.

"If you don't leave now, the centurion will be here." After Alita said this, she turned around.

She and the new friend she met after waking up have become strangers.

Ido, whom she misunderstood, is a good person, but Hugo has ulterior motives, which makes Alita feel a little heavy.

It wasn't until she reached the bottom of the lake and saw the familiar spaceship that her mood improved again.

After all, he was just a stranger whom she had known for a few days, but in the pub, she made several new friends.

Besides, there is this spaceship.

It represents power!

Following her memory, Alita skillfully entered the spaceship, opened the console, and found the Berserker's body stored therein.

Under normal circumstances, she would be very excited when she found the body of the Berserker.

This body can better unleash the power of mecha technology and restore his strength to his peak period.

However, after seeing the treasures in the tavern, she no longer had any interest in this sci-fi-featured prosthetic body.

Reaching out and gently stroking it, imagining the scene of fighting on the moon, Alita silently exited the spacecraft.

She pressed her hand against the wall of the spacecraft, and with a slight thought, she disappeared from where she was.

At the same time as she disappeared, the abandoned spaceship of the Fire Alliance also disappeared, causing huge waves in the center of the lake.

The spaceship brings Alita an income of 50,000 time and space coins.

The value of this spaceship alone is not that high.

But there are a lot of weapons and ammunition stored on the spacecraft, including a lot of berserker prosthetic bodies.

The total value of these things accounts for nearly half.

Alita was extremely happy to get the time and space coin.

The only thing that made her a little regretful was that, except for Tushan Honghong, the other new friends were not in the pub.

But Tushan Honghong's enthusiasm still made her feel at home.

Even though Tushan Honghong was busy, there were still a few people who took the initiative to talk to her, so she didn't feel lonely.

At this time, she was holding a glass of wine and chatting happily with the three people at the same table.

A woman named Alice, a raccoon with a gun, and a big bald man who calls himself Saitama.

Tu Shan Honghong had introduced several people to her before.

Alice once lived in a city worse than Scrap City.

The place was invaded by a terrible virus, and most humans turned into cruel and bloodthirsty zombies, with only a few survivors left.

Now everything is back to normal.

With the help of several other guests in the tavern, Alice developed an antidote and successfully saved the world.

Listening to her description, Alita was quite looking forward to it.

She longed to be like Alice, to make Salem no longer a superior city, and to turn the scrap iron city into a free city-state full of order and friendship.

Compared to Alice, Rocket Raccoon interests Alita more.

After all, it was the first time she saw a talking raccoon.

This raccoon in particular is very powerful.

When she first came to the tavern this time, Rocket Raccoon and Saitama were dueling in the ring.

After witnessing the earth-shattering battle between the two, Alita felt that her previous fights with others were just childish play.

Listening to Rocket Raccoon's description of deep space, Alita was even more fascinated.

In her time, humans had begun to colonize the solar system, but the technology they possessed was not enough to go deeper into space.

She was extremely curious about the magnificent and mysterious depths of the universe.

Unlike Alice and Rocket Raccoon, Saitama doesn't talk much.

He was lazy, as if he had not woken up yet.

But Alita didn't dare underestimate him at all.

She was deeply impressed by the desperate look of this guy in battle, and she knew what kind of terrifying power was hidden under his ordinary appearance.

If Alita didn't know she was too weak, she would have wanted to fight Saitama.

She felt that she and the other person were of the same kind.

They all loved it and enjoyed the battle!
After two glasses of wine, Alita felt a little dizzy.

This feeling of being tipsy made her a little intoxicated.

Just as she was sipping her wine and asking Saitama for advice on fighting techniques, a voice suddenly came.

"Where is the little girl from yesterday?"

She turned her head and saw Taiyi Zhenren appear in the tavern.

Alita quickly stepped forward.

Afterwards, Taiyi Zhenren took out the lotus root powder that he had prepared in advance and demonstrated in public how to make a body.

Alita was like a puppet, letting him manipulate her obediently.

When her soul left her body and she looked at her mechanical body, she felt extremely wonderful.

As she entered the newly shaped body and smelled the faint aroma of lotus root, she found it more and more interesting.

Then, she was taken into the seven-colored lotus.

When she came out, Taiyi Zhenren summoned a Samadhi True Fire to help her completely refine away the impurities in this body.

"Okay!" Taiyi Zhenren put away the dust, looked at the porcelain doll-like girl in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

He was extremely satisfied with this work.

Alita also looked down at her body.

She reached out and touched her soft arms, patted her belly, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
