That's amazing survival skills!

Chapter 83 Fennuka

"real?"

"Oh, please don't ask." Wang Xi blushed, trying to calm herself down. "I said no, so I didn't. Would I lie to you?"

Gu Siyu gave the two of them a deep look, a smile playing on her lips. "That's not necessarily true."

After waiting for most of the day, only the four of them remained in the house.

Looking out from the sunny window.

The number and frequency of the robotic police patrols below are significantly higher than yesterday.

"It seems we can't go out for now." Lin Yuan stood inside the house. "We'll just have to wait patiently for that old metal man to come back."

"Although we don't have that metal ball, as long as we're fast enough, we can get past those clumsy robots," Han Miao said, pointing to the patrol team that had just passed by.

"Where are you looking?"

The three women looked in the direction Lin Yuan was pointing and found that the utility pole was still standing firmly in the same place, sprayed with silver-white paint. The camera was like a sparrow perched on the utility pole, its red light constantly rotating and scanning every scene.

"It's just a simple scanner," Han Miao said dismissively. "I've seen them before; there's one every so often on the highway. What's the big deal?"

"We can only wait for the identity document to come back." Wang Xi shook her head.

"Why?" Han Miao asked, somewhat annoyed.

Clearly, as long as they can get out, they can quickly find out what's going on around them; there's no need to wait here and waste time.

Moreover, there was nothing in the room except for that pair of broken copper and scrap iron.

The sofa is so worn out that there's barely any room to sit on it!

"All the cameras on Blue Star can save footage, providing clues for arrests in the shortest possible time," Gu Siyu said, pointing to the camera. "The technology here is far superior to anything on Blue Star. Do you think there might be a real-time sharing function?"

"Forehead...."

Han Miao was speechless.

Thinking about it this way, Gu Siyu's words actually made some sense, and he became somewhat dejected.

Click.

The sound of the lock turning rang out, accompanied by a piercing creak, and the old man in metal walked in.

"All done." The old man in metal took out four white cards from his coat pocket and placed them on the table. "One for each of you. Make sure you take your identification with you when you leave, and don't lose them."

The four of them looked over.

The card on the table was white with the word "cent" in the upper right corner. It felt extremely cheap and prickly to the touch, and the texture was also very poor; it felt like it could be crushed with the slightest force.

"If you die, will this identification automatically become invalid?" Lin Yuan played with the card, staring at the old man in metal with great interest.

"That's natural." The old man with the metal body nodded with a smile.

This is one of the ways he ensures his safety.

The two sides are only in a cooperative relationship and don't have much trust in each other, as evidenced by the case of Fennuka!

"Okay." Lin Yuan wasn't too surprised; she knew exactly what was going on. "When will the underground casino open?"

"10 PM."

"Would you mind if we went outside for a look?"

"You are free during this time." The old man with the metal body took out a pocket watch from his body. "Remember, you must be back before 7:30 pm."

The pocket watch looked old, its mechanism entirely mechanical with a spring-loaded mechanism, and the hands on it made a soft ticking sound.

Thank you.

The old man in metal waved his hand.

The corridor was empty, clearly not a good place to move around during the day. Occasionally, a few people could be seen coming out, and they were about the same age as the old man with the metal frame.

As for young people, they are quite rare.

After walking for half an hour, passing through many streets and alleys, Lin Yuan and his companions did not see anyone cooking, nor did they smell even a trace of oil, let alone hear the sizzling sound of vegetables being added to hot oil.

"The city has lost its lively atmosphere."

"I'm a little hungry," Wang Xi said, rubbing her flat stomach.

"I don't see any food for sale here, let's go look somewhere else." Lin Yuan said as she walked forward.

With no other options, the three women had no choice but to follow Lin Yuan and continue exploring their surroundings.

The four continued walking, and the surrounding area still appeared very desolate, but as they walked, they gradually saw more and more people on the road.

They still look like those elderly people in their seventies and eighties.

I don't know if it's because I've left the steel city's area, but the greenery around me has gradually increased.

I've even seen a few people growing green vegetables in their own yards.

"Grandpa, do you sell some food?" Lin Yuan stepped forward and asked.

The old man had very few alterations; at least three limbs remained intact, and even his neck and other areas still showed flesh and blood.

It must be that it needs to eat to maintain its vital signs.

When the old man saw the four people with their flesh and blood intact, he was stunned at first, and then his already not-so-straight back gradually bent even lower.

"Of course, it's possible for the four venerable ones." The old man looked a little flustered and hesitated for a while before raising his hand to wipe the sweat that had seeped from his forehead due to nervousness. "It's just that my skills are not good enough. If I neglect the venerable ones, I hope you will not punish me."

"It's nothing, just do it." Lin Yuan said, taking out a yellow-quality skill stone from his pocket and firmly handing it over. "Old man, we don't have any extra money for machinery distribution at the moment, what do you think?"

Upon seeing the skill stone, the old man accepted it with trembling hands, saying, "This is...more than enough. I hope you four venerable ones will come inside."

Thank you.

After thanking him, Lin Yuan led the three women inside.

Compared to the old man's hut, this place is much cleaner.

There were four long wooden tables in the room, which had a bit of patina on them, but were still fairly clean.

In the past, this place would have been a roadside eatery.

"Why does this old man call us 'superior people'?" Han Miao looked at the hunched old man washing and picking vegetables with some confusion.

Wang Xi and Gu Siyu were also considering this matter.

Lin Yuan poured himself a cup of tea, picked it up and sipped it slowly, his eyes constantly scanning the small, unassuming restaurant. He put down the cup and said, "It seems this steel city isn't as I thought, with such severe class divisions."

Gu Siyu nodded in agreement.

"really."

A child of about ten years old came forward, carrying a kettle made from a steel mold. As he poured tea...

He cautiously observed the four people at the dinner table.

Upon noticing the man's gaze upon him, the boy immediately lowered his head, shrank his neck, and turned to leave.

Her wrist was instantly grabbed, her small body trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Little friend, don't be nervous, we're not bad people." Lin Yuan smiled and took an ear of corn from her spatial backpack, gently placing it in his hand. "Can you tell us about the situation here?"

Tears welled in the boy's eyes, and he shook his head like a rattle drum, his little hands constantly reaching behind his back, refusing to take the ear of corn no matter what.

The old woman who came out from behind the kitchen saw her grandson being grabbed by the young man. She was so frightened that she rushed forward and hugged her grandson tightly in her arms, while repeatedly apologizing to the four men.

The posture can be as low as you want.

Looking at the old woman and the child's terrified expressions, Lin Yuan felt like he was the most heinous villain, deliberately bullying this family.

"Please don't get agitated. I just wanted to ask about some things; I absolutely meant no harm."

Lin Yuan quickly explained, and in doing so, loosened her grip on the boy's wrist.

The old woman patted the boy's back twice, and the boy quickly picked up the teapot and walked towards the kitchen at the back.

"Four Venerable Ones, what is it you need? This old woman knows and will tell you everything." The old woman spoke in a slumped voice, her hands nervously twisting the hem of her skirt in front of her.

Lin Yuan smiled, took the stool over, placed it behind the old woman's bottom, and gently patted the stool to make a sound.

"Please sit down first, it'll be easier for us to ask you questions."

"Um... this old woman can just stand." The old woman gave a smile that looked more like a grimace, her back bent, but she dared not sit down.

Lin Yuan was also a bit exasperated, having no idea why the old woman was being so reserved. He could only put on a stern face and raise his voice, "I told you to sit, so sit! Why all this nonsense!"

Sure enough, once he showed a stern expression, the old woman dared not say anything and simply sat down.
