Steel Steam and Flame

Chapter 98: Shop



   The mechanical watch on the wrist shows that the current time is only about 5:30 PM. The climate is in the early summer season in the Gerun Oasis, and the sun should be strong above the head at this time. But when Cassia and the others called the steel cover to block the underground waterway, no light came in as expected. In other words, with the exception of Gustin, the other four people looked like I understood it.

   There is not too much wind outside, which is the most suitable level for Cassia and the others. It blew over from the other side of Moon Lake not far away, with enough moist water vapor and fresh smell, it felt comfortable and cold. The only thing missing is that there is no suitable light. The sky is a plume-colored cloud that is like a tumbling cloud that hangs upside down the stormy sea at night. Strength is accumulating inside, and it has reached the edge of bursting out. The clouds are very close to the ground, as if they are within reach. There is obviously the same oppressive feeling in the air as in the underground mines, but it doesn't look dull, it just makes people feel unhappy. The sunlight is all blocked by these gathered fault clouds.

   At half past five, it was already the same color as the dusk that was about to end.

"It seems that the black dust storm must wait for us to come out, really patient guys." Cara sighed deeply, as if to spit out all the stuffiness that had gathered in her chest these days, and then took a few deep breaths. Completed all the air exchange in the lungs.

Klitzings was also infected by Carla's actions, but his movements were obviously not as exaggerated as Carla, he just sighed slightly, and then said: "But that's good, the black dust storm just helped us a lot and blocked the current Almost all the possibilities and routes to get out of the Gerun Oasis. The black dust storm may come at any time. Whether it is the night of the full moon or not, crossing the desert now must be an act of looking for death. Originally, leaving the desert can only be done after the black dust storm, but this time An imperial merchant ship arrived, and it was a very standard cruiser class. So..."

"So Nuorida and the others, who are eager to leave, will definitely take this merchant ship. As we stand in the dark, we just have to wait by the merchant ship." Gustin also cleared the lines in his head and said "This is what Mr. Cassia can understand by saying it."

   He glanced at Cassia, expressing his admiration.

   Cassia smirked, this is only an inevitable conclusion drawn under all conditions. Each of several conditions is indispensable. It’s just that Cassia’s calculations are relatively good, and the estimated time of the black dust storm and the number of days the merchant ship has docked here are more accurate.

The entrance that    came out was on the edge of a lonely street, but it was still in the area of ​​the port. There were not many pedestrians on the road, and there were all connected gray-skin warehouses beside it, very deserted.

   street lights were used, and the lights became dim. In the pressurized air, the insects no longer screamed trivially, and the flying insects did not chase after seeing the lights that attracted them. The original lively GK area, I don't know how many people in it stayed underground forever.

   They went back to the dilapidated house they had rented before they went to the underground mine for the second time.

   It was still the way it was when I left, and even the air in the room didn't seem to have changed. What kind of smell should it be, what it still smells like. Only in the land in front of the house that was barely sorted, and the grass on the barren meadow in front of it seemed to grow another slap.

   There is still some wine left in the cabinet, juice is also available, and the food is not bad. Gustin loves those wines very much. They are all high-quality goods taken from the car of the Sunault student, and they are not cheap. Even with the weapons and equipment, there is the last point left, enough for everyone to barely equip it. Now the number of people they have to deal with has become single digits. If you are lucky, the single digit bullets can be solved. And sometimes the bullet is not used.

   "Oh, it's a luxury thing." Gustin and Klitschs drank a cup of mellow wine, with a little ruddy on their faces, praised the deliciousness of the wine.

   After drinking half a glass of juice, Cassia smelled the strong smell in the air, and smiled without saying anything. The physique of the surgeon is already immune to things like alcohol. No matter how much they drink, it will only slightly stimulate the speed of the heart to increase, and will not make them as drunk as ordinary people. It's just that he really doesn't like the feeling of the spicy throat, or that he simply hasn't found the delicious side of the wine.

   Assuming that the time is almost up, Cassia glanced at the mechanical watch, which indicated that it was a few minutes before it was eight o'clock in the evening. He stood up and said to them: "The time is just right. I just slept asleep not long ago. Now let's take your rest here. I will go to the city center and have some things to do. Before entering the underground mine, I asked someone to help us buy the ferry tickets, and now it just happens to come in handy."

"It's really good news." Lee responded, "While you were sleeping, we were still discussing where to go to grab some businessmen or officials and nobles here, and get some money for funding. The plan to come down. At present, the business of the merchant shipping is completely resolved, and there is no need for us to do unnecessary things."

   Several other people agreed, "After finishing Nolida's business, I can just take a merchant ship to leave Gerun Oasis. Then it will be much easier to return to Manoma."

   "Kassia, remember to say thank you when you go back." Carla unexpectedly heard this word from the light in the house when Cassia had stepped out of the wooden door of the house. David helped them a lot. Although it was a trivial matter, the money used to buy the ferry tickets was enough to express their sincere thanks.

   "I know." Cassia waved her hand and disappeared into the night.

  Because the only car is Sunorte's car without tires. And no matter the car is good or bad, the current situation does not allow Cassia to drive out, which will most likely expose the fact that several of them are still alive. So he can only run over on foot.

   This is the outskirts of the city, a distance from the city center, but not far.

   There are no steam limousines on the sturdy roads, only street lights standing silently on both sides, as quiet as frozen branches in the cold winter. Usually at this time, there will be some mercenaries running wildly in their cars, but now they are all dead bodies.

   It took more than an hour, and Cassia entered the range of the city center. The monotonous white light turned into colorful steam lights and neon, and the lively atmosphere did not diminish in the slightest. The night life in the city has begun. The advent of the black dust storm did not affect them at all. On the contrary, the non-stop refreshing atmosphere every day makes people in the city more willing to come out and stroll around the world under the lights~www.readwn.com~In the house It is air-conditioned, but a little stuffy. Outside, they can also go to the pub to drink some wine.

   Cassia patted the clothes on the dim corner of the street. There were some wrinkles on the dried clothes, but fortunately they did not bring the fishy smell and decayed smell in the water. Make sure that the dress code has basically passed, and then the hair is also wiped and trimmed, so that it will not be messy. Cassia is going to a jewelry store. At least he can't let the customers in David's shop cover their noses and leave because of him. Cassia can still pay attention to what can be done.

   Turning around the corner, you can see the jewelry store opened by David in front of you. The colorful signs are shining brightly, and the artistic imperial characters made of mahogany are fixed on it by rivets. Pedestrians come and go in the street in front. Accurate businessmen's eyes, this is a busy area.

   Cassia walked past the crowd under the lights with a smile. But the smile disappeared on his serious face in the next moment.

   David’s shop seems to be an isolated island in the water, and the flow of people can't help avoiding it at this time. Even if they walk in front of the shop, the pace of pedestrians will definitely speed up, hurriedly leaving the thing that seems to be changed. Compared with the surrounding shops, it did become out of place at this time.

   Cassia's face was cold again, the happy and gentle brilliance in her eyes disappeared in a blink of an eye. He was also incompatible with the pedestrians around him. It was a ferocious wolf with gray and black fur mixed in among the white-and-white sheep.

In front of David’s shop, there have been two guys in black dresses standing with strong muscles and chatting with each other~www.readwn.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
