"Huhuhu~~~"
Qing Huan's voice came from above his head and beside him. Looking up, he could clearly see people riding hovercars that looked like motorcycles but were suspended in the air passing by him. In the sky, there were also objects that looked more like aircraft than cars flying by. There was even a long railway track surrounding this steel city, with four buildings extending in all directions around the city. Silent trains circled on it, transporting Xumagia or cargo towards their destination.
Such a magnificent scene made Zhao Tian feel as if he was back in Tianta City, a city he had visited once before. However, what really surprised Zhao Tian was the crowds of people coming and going around him. There was not a single human being in sight... Yes, not a single human being!
Girls dressed in various clothes passed by him from time to time. Perhaps out of curiosity, their eyes would fall on him from time to time. However, when Zhao Tian followed those eyes, he could find that those girls or girls with different looks and different clothing tastes all had earmuffs on their ears that flashed blue light like headphones.
Humagia... that was a unique characteristic of Humagia, so those who appeared before him at this moment... were all Humagia?!
This is a city...exclusively for Shumagia!
In an instant, such a thought seemed to come to his mind. Before Zhao Tian recovered from his surprise, the nurse's voice came to his ears again:
"Get in the car!"
A white car stopped beside the two of them at some point. Zhao Tian, who had come to his senses instantly, nodded quickly.
"Oh, okay, okay!"
The most important thing now is Xiaoyu's injury, and I don't have time to pay attention to those trivial things!
The shock in his heart was once again replaced by anxiety. After getting in the car, Zhao Tian did not look out the transparent window again, but just watched Xia Yu and let the car move forward.
'Tianyu Medical Hospital! '
The big words proved where this place was. Although the Shumagias coming in and out had different looks and ages, they were all wearing white coats or white nurse uniforms like jumpsuits as they walked between the corridors and halls.
This time, Zhao Tian walked in without any hesitation under the guidance of two nurses and followed them directly into a room similar to a ward. He could see that there were no extra items in the ward which was the size of a bedroom. There was only a white object similar to a capsule lying quietly in the center of the room.
"Please place the patient into the treatment capsule. We need to perform a full-body examination before we can begin comprehensive treatment!"
As a scavenger, Zhao Tian had undoubtedly only heard of but never seen a thing like therapeutic capsules. Listening to the words of the two nurses beside him, he did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly and carefully put Xia Yu into it. Then he took two steps back and looked at Xia Yu who was lying inside with a pale face.
"Zi~~~"
As Xia Yu lay down in it, the capsule-like object slowly closed and sank slowly the next second until almost half of it had sunk into the ground, leaving only some white bulges exposed. At the same time, a faint white light was emitted from it, proving that treatment was in progress.
"Whoo~~~"
It seemed that only after he had done all this did Zhao Tian finally breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the half-sunken capsule treatment chamber with nervousness and worry, and then sat down casually on the ground beside him, closed his eyes as if he was taking a rest, and silently waited for the end of the treatment.
The two nurses Xiu had disappeared at some point. Apparently, after completing their mission, they were preparing to carry out their next task.
Because of the sudden outbreak of silver, not only were most of the ruins and other places in the ruins swallowed up, but even some scavenger camps or various urban forces built in the ruins began to be attacked one after another.
The silver that can contaminate everything and the terrifying silver disease that can devour people's hearts and amplify their desires continue to spread, undoubtedly bringing near-devastating disasters to all major forces.
In this situation, it is obviously impossible for Tianyu City to stay out of the matter. Countless patrollers and Xumagia have been dispatched to support various places, using the power of the system to continuously eliminate the silver. However, the battle situation is obviously not one-sided.
The Silvers are not easy to deal with. On the contrary, they have the ability of mimicry and their power becomes stronger and stronger as time goes by and they continuously absorb energy. This undoubtedly caused a lot of damage to the Shumagia. At the same time, although they successfully restrained it by relying on the power of the system, many bodies were still injured because of the attack of the Silvers.
Under the current circumstances, it can be said that the treatment center is definitely the busiest place in the entire Tianyu City except for the war depot. While injured Shumagia are constantly being escorted in, there are even one or two guardians and patrollers among them.
141.Contract
There were various chaotic footsteps coming from outside the white door, accompanied by various vague voices. However, Zhao Tian just sat there quietly waiting for Xia Yu to wake up.
On the one hand, he had just arrived at the inner city of Tianyu City, and naturally he didn't dare to walk around without knowing the restrictions here. On the other hand, in order to be able to observe Xia Yu's treatment results in time, he had to stay here.
"I'm sorry... please don't let anything happen..."
The apology was because he abandoned the other person and ran away to seek rescue. After all, no matter what the result or purpose was, it was true that he did run away at that time. Zhao Tian was undoubtedly full of guilt about this.
The following words were a prayer for Xia Yu, hoping that nothing would happen to him...
"She's fine. After signing the contract, her body has been sublimated into a 'hero'. If nothing else, at least her immortality is unmatched even by a Silver!"
"?!"
Just as he was thinking about it, the sudden voice of a girl coming from his ear made Zhao Tian stunned. He opened his eyes almost subconsciously and pulled out the dagger from his waist. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an illusory figure of a girl standing not far in front of him. Her eyes were not looking at him, but looking at... the direction of the capsule not far away.
Obviously, the words just spoken were directed at me, but the other party's attention was obviously not on me, and the answer just now was just a casual remark.
"You...who are you?"
The illusory projection appeared and disappeared in front of him like a three-dimensional image. In the body formed by the azure light all over the body, all Zhao Tian could see was the waist-length hair and the beautiful profile of the other party.
She was wearing a long dress that had a touch of aristocracy, but was more elegant. The girl was suspended in the air a few centimeters above the ground. Facing Zhao Tian's voice, she slowly turned her head and gave him a polite smile:
"Hello, I'm the current acting mayor of Tianyu City. You can call me Tianling!"
Lord of Tianyu City? !
Although it seemed to be a temporary replacement, the other party's self-introduction undoubtedly revealed his identity at the first moment. Zhao Tian couldn't help but widen his eyes for a moment, and the next second he immediately and decisively put away the dagger in his hand. He stood straight and looked at Tian Ling. He was extremely nervous and said hurriedly:
"I'm extremely sorry, Lord City Lord. That was just my instinctive reaction. I had no intention of attacking you!"
Now he is in the opponent's territory, and more importantly, Tian Ling is still receiving treatment at the opponent's hands. In this case, although he doesn't know why the acting city lord suddenly appeared here, Zhao Tian knows very well that the other party is someone he must not offend.
"I need to apologize for this. I scared you by appearing suddenly!"
He didn't say anything about Zhao Tian's previous disrespect, but instead bowed slightly to express his apology for appearing in vain. Zhao Tian quickly waved his hand:
"No, no, no, that's too much. You're Xiaoyu and I's savior. It would be wrong of us to forgive you anyway. Also... thank you so much for your support and treatment. Xiaoyu is safe now. If you have any instructions in the future, please let me know. I'm just a small scavenger, but if you don't mind, I'll go through fire and water for you!"
His expression gradually became serious as he made his promise. No matter what, when he asked Tianyu City for help, not only did the other party accept him, but they also saved Xia Yu and were currently treating her.
Zhao Tian is not a fool, and he is not completely ignorant of Tianyu City. He knows very well how "weird" this emerging city is. Generally speaking, it is basically impossible for outsiders to enter the inner city. This can be seen from the fact that he has not seen any human beings except Xu Magia along the way.
However, in this situation, the other party not only brought Xia Yu to this treatment chamber for treatment, but even allowed himself, a "male outsider", to enter the inner city. It goes without saying that the other party must have his own purpose in doing this. As for what this purpose is, Zhao Tian doesn't know, but... saving a life, no matter what the purpose is, it is obviously not excessive, right?
"You are serious!"
Zhao Tian's serious words made Tian Ling feel a little more favorable towards the bearded uncle in front of her... It seems that the new sisters were right about him!
Thinking this in his heart, after the initial introduction, Tian Ling obviously did not intend to say any more unnecessary nonsense to the other party, and immediately opened his mouth and directly stated the purpose of his visit:
"Mr. Zhao Tian...if you don't mind, I'll call you that!"
Seeing Zhao Tian nod slightly, Tian Ling paused and continued:
"Regarding Miss Xia Yu... To be honest, when we went to rescue her, due to some... special reasons, Miss Xia Yu had already signed a contract with us and officially became a member of the Guardians of Tianyu City. This is also the main reason why you, as a family member, and she can enjoy the treatment of the inner city!"
Without any unnecessary words, he directly talked about the contract. Tian Ling's words undoubtedly made Zhao Tian's eyes widen instantly and looked at Tian Ling in disbelief. Without waiting for the other party to react, Tian Ling also hurriedly said:
"Please rest assured, the signing of the contract must be done willingly by the other party, without any coercion. Also, although we can't reveal too much about the contract because you don't meet the requirements, this will benefit Xia Yu in the future, so you can rest assured!"
This one word of explanation made Zhao Tian swallow back what he wanted to say. Although Zhao Tian, as a scavenger, had never seen such a thing as a contract, it was obvious that no matter who heard of it, their hostile reaction would undoubtedly be the same as his. After all, a contract... once signed, no one except the signatory could figure out the consequences.
The moment Tian Ling said these words, Zhao Tian's first reaction was actually that the other party was plotting against him and Xia Yu, and wanted to do something with the contract. Who would have thought that Tian Ling, who saw through his thoughts directly, explained it this way. Although it did not make people completely relieved, it did calm Zhao Tian down a lot.
Now they are in the opponent's territory, Xia Yu is still receiving treatment in the capsule, and it is obviously too late now, Xiaoyu has already signed a contract or something... So no matter how anxious he is, it is obvious that all this cannot be changed.
Judging from the other party's attitude, there didn't seem to be any hostility. In this situation, although Zhao Tian was still vigilant in his heart, he could only continue to talk to the other party calmly.
After all, he now... doesn't have the slightest capital to challenge the other party!
142. I really didn’t mean that!
"That's basically the situation. The so-called contract actually acknowledges her existence as a member of Tianyu City. And as her recognized 'family', you are naturally considered a member of Tianyu City as well!"
Since Xia Yu recognized him as the person, Tian Ling naturally would not hide anything and told him everything he could about the contract. After truly understanding what the contract was, Zhao Tian was obviously relieved.
If what Tian Ling said is true, then there is no doubt that this contract will not only not harm Xia Yu, but will be of great benefit, not only for her future but also for the present.
"Okay, that's basically all I can say. So..."
After saying all this to himself, Tian Ling waited for a while after Zhao Tian showed a thoughtful expression before slowly speaking:
"If you don't mind, could you answer some of my questions as well?"
The notification was mutual. Since Xia Yu had become a guardian, neither Tian Ling nor Ze Ya would have any doubts about her. However, although there was no doubt, the other party's appearance was undoubtedly a point of great concern. In view of the fact that Xia Yu was currently undergoing treatment, Tian Ling could only find Zhao Tian and directly tell him the purpose of his visit:
"Regarding Xia Yu's past... could you tell me about it?"
If you want to recruit someone, you naturally need to understand their past... At least that's what Zhao Tian understood. Therefore, he didn't doubt Tian Ling's question, but nodded and told Tian Ling everything he knew:
"I don't know much about Xiaoyu's past. I rescued her from human traffickers...about three years ago!"
He took advantage of the situation and rescued Xia Yu from the hands of human traffickers and strange beasts. The other party followed him in the name of repaying a favor. After several years of scavenging life and getting along with each other, although Xia Yu did not like to talk much, Zhao Tian also got some information about Xia Yu through occasional communication.
"She seems to have come from the Demon Realm. You know Xiaoyu is an orc... It seems she escaped from the Demon Realm and was deceived into meeting a human trafficker. After that, she was abducted and sold to research institutes or wealthy people with special fetishes. However, she left the right..."
He told everything about his encounter with Xia Yu in detail without hiding anything. Actually, there wasn't much to say after all, Xia Yu herself was a taciturn person. Even after being together for a few years, Zhao Tian didn't know much about her. So when he finished speaking, Tian Ling fell silent.
"Oh right, Xiaoyu is looking for something... No, I should say she's recruiting people. She once said she found a clue in Tianyu City!"
At the end of his speech, as if he suddenly thought of something, Zhao Tian's words suddenly made Tian Ling open his eyes wide and look at him, with a sudden glimmer of surprise in his eyes:
"Looking for someone? Looking for someone in Tianyu City?"
The sudden and intense reaction was obviously beyond Zhao Tian's expectations, but he nodded slightly at the moment:
"Yes, Xiaoyu seems to have been looking for someone for the past few years. She didn't tell me who it was, but I can tell that person must be very important to her. She even escaped from the Demon Realm in the first place just to find him..."
After a pause, Zhao Tian continued without waiting for Tian Ling to ask further questions:
"I don't know what she's relying on to find it, but there seems to be no clues in the past few years. However, about a few months ago, she went to Tianyu City to buy some equipment... a certain bracelet. When she came back, she told me that she found a clue in Tianyu City!"
It was also a coincidence. He originally thought that after the mission was over, if Xiaoyu was unwilling to leave the team and come to Tianyu City alone, he would just accompany her. However, who would have thought that it would turn out like this? It can be said that it was fate!
"Looking for someone, clues about Tianyu City... orcs, cats, the Demon Realm..."
It's connected. It's obviously connected not long ago, right?
The lines and clues given by Zhao Tian, plus Xia Yu's appearance which was almost identical to someone else's except for the hair color and ears...well, Tian Ling felt that he already knew the truth!
"So that's how it is... If that's the case, then I can probably understand why Xiao Huan suddenly appeared!"
If the other party's identity is indeed Xia Miao's family, then it is obvious that Yu Huan also knew this, so he did not hesitate to descend after the clone to make a contract with the other party. At the same time, the reason why Xia Yu had two contracts is very easy to explain, because before Xia Yu transformed, she clearly saw that in addition to the transformation of the brave system, the other party's belt was clearly...
"I already understand the basic situation!"
After figuring out everything, it was obvious that Tian Ling's tone was already easygoing when he spoke again. After nodding slightly at Zhao Tian, Tian Ling spoke again:
"Excuse me, Xia Yu... well, Xia Yu is now the guardian of Tianyu City. You can also say that she is one of the internal members of our Tianyu City. As her family member, you naturally have the qualifications to live in Tianyu City, but..."
After a moment of silence, Tian Ling spoke:
"The inner city has regulations. No one other than Rangers and Guardians is allowed to live there, except for the Shumagia. So..."
She didn't finish her words, but Zhao Tian obviously understood what she meant and nodded slightly.
"I understand. I'm already extremely grateful that you've made an exception and allowed me to come to Tianyu City with Xiaoyu. I won't push your luck... I originally said I wanted Xiaoyu to come to Tianyu City. Although the process is a little different now,... it's much better for her to be here than to be with me!"
There was a genuine open-mindedness in his tone, but the loneliness in it was obvious. After he finished speaking, Zhao Tian nodded and continued without waiting for Tian Ling to speak:
"I only hope to wait until her injuries have healed before leaving. I will definitely not stay here for too long, nor will I leak any information about the inner city, so..."
"Um... sorry to interrupt! You seem to have a slight misunderstanding about what I just said!"
Some lonely words were being spoken, but Tian Ling's sudden plan made Zhao Tian look up in confusion, and he saw Tian Ling's... somewhat weird look at a glance.
Why do I always feel that what you said is as if I am a bad person who breaks up a couple?
Am I that kind of person?!
143. Contract
"...You seem to have misunderstood what I just said, so I'll interrupt you to explain!"
After confirming Xia Yu's identity, Tian Ling became much more casual when talking to Zhao Tian. Seeing the dejected expression on the other's face, Tian Ling immediately spoke to the other's somewhat surprised eyes:
"What I meant just now was this: Xia Yu will be a resident of Tianyu City from now on. You can freely enter and exit the inner city and even the core areas. However, given the regulations of Tianyu City, as someone who is not suitable to be a Ranger or Guardian, you are indeed not allowed to live in the inner city. After all, you can see that besides Xiumagia, basically, only Rangers and Guardians can be here!"
Although it is not known when this rule was made, since the sisters have all agreed to it, Tian Ling will naturally not say much. However, this does not mean that Zhao Tian, as a member of Xia Yu's family, must leave Tianyu City for these reasons. After all, they are a peace organization, not the kind of evil organization that "forcibly separates couples". Therefore, for situations like Zhao Tian's, they obviously already have a solution.
"...Tell me, what should I do?"
Zhao Tian was a smart man, and he was also a scavenger who had been hanging around in the ruins for many years. Therefore, before Tian Ling finished speaking, it was obvious that he had realized what the problem was, and he immediately opened his mouth and asked decisively.
"Great, I like smart people!"
Tian Ling nodded in satisfaction at Zhao Tian's reaction, and said without hesitation:
"In fact, you're not the first person to be unsuitable to become a Guardian (Rover). Our city lord's... well, family members actually have the same characteristics. In order to prevent the kind of thing you just imagined from happening, we came up with a solution after some discussion!"
Honggu, Cai Xiaoxiao, Cai Xiaohou and the pair of brothers that Yuhuan had accepted in the Hero Plane when they were heroes were undoubtedly all males. And because of this, unless they also used twin-tail bracelets, it was obviously impossible for these people to become guardians (patrollers). In view of this, after some discussion, Yu Yuan and others finally decided to draw lessons from the Mirror Organization's situation regarding the existence of these "non-guardians" and came to a conclusion.
A team similar to the extra-story system is formed, which is composed of these people. While they are affiliated with Tianyu City, they do not need to be responsible for handling matters in various planes. After all, they do not have the ability to travel through the plane world.
"The Tianyu City Defense Organization, you can also call it the Tianyu Army, is a city defense force unique to Tianyu City, specifically used to maintain the security of Tianyu City (outer city) as well as external communication, protection strategies, etc."
