652: Chapter 296: Changes in the Town 652: Chapter 296: Changes in the Town Yuki looked at those people in front of him.
They were probably residents of the village, all with lightweight prosthetic bodies.
Yuki recognized one of them as the village’s second-rate layabout, the idle sort.
Although these loafers caused all sorts of trouble, they were different from Enoch back in the day.
Enoch was heavy-duty construction machinery, earning a high inco, and he didn’t have a family to support, so he lived quite freely.
But these second-rate troublemakers just loafed around; when they were close to starving, they would do so odd jobs to trade for so “Copper Candy.” After all, the village’s solar panels were public property, and if there were consecutive sunny days, the excess power had to be released, or it would damage the storage equipnt, so they were never in danger of starving to death.
In summary, this group of people in Recycling Station Town was the kind who weren’t doted on by grandparents and ignored by everyone else—having one more or one fewer of them made no difference.
But sohow, these people had gotten their hands on guns.
Yuki’s hand moved like lightning towards his ribs.
There lay the “Iron Hamr” revolver, a gift from Ai Tielang, but Yuki quickly changed his movent and raised his hands to show they were empty, “Hey, guys, we’re just passing through.”
“Passing through?” The leader of the group fired a shot into the sky, “I’ve heard it’s not very peaceful around here these days.
How co people are passing through here?
n of Jianghu?”
He didn’t realize that Yuki, seizing the opportunity, took a good look at the rifle in his hands.
It was a very classical design, the barrel was crude, and the muzzle didn’t have professional matting, considering the village’s power situation, there weren’t many types of gunpowder that could be made simply, so the bullet’s power wouldn’t be very strong.
Moreover, they barely knew anything about Firearms Path martial studies, and even their shooting postures were at a beginner’s level.
“Now that’s interesting,” Yuki quickly cald down and said, “Recycling Station Town is quite famous far and wide, right?
I’ve heard that you can occasionally find so great ancient treasures here…
We are a few martial arts school apprentices from Pine Eagle City, and we wanted to try our luck finding sothing overlooked.”
At this mont, he dared not reveal his true identity.
More than three years ago, the whole town knew that young Yuki had left with a Hero who had killed the Welfare Officer.
If he were to announce his na here, anyone would dare to report him.
It is said that a small portion of Heroes would specifically go back to kill those who reported them, but Yuki belonged to the group who thought “better to avoid trouble.”
“Oh…
really?” The lout pondered for a mont, “Are you not part of Green Forest?
I’ve heard that a nearby town was raided by a newly erged Green Forest group.”
“We just ca out today!” Han Zhun finally spoke up, “We are all Good Citizens, Good Citizens.”
Yuki said, “This isn’t my first ti to your town either.
I’ve never heard that Recycling Station Town would point guns at visitors.”
“That was in the past.” The thug seed a bit proud, “Now, we all listen to the Town Mayor.
We were ordered to tidy up our ho.”
Liu Ri felt a bit puzzled, “You guys?”
“Hey, kid, you’re sounding a bit off, eh?” The thug got a bit heated, “Do you know who has died here?”
Yuki felt it was both ridiculous and amusing.
The people who died in Recycling Station Town were all killed by Xiang Shan.
What did that have to do with these thugs?
When the Tax Officer ca, none of them were this brave in front of that dog.
And with these homade guns paired with third-rate Gunners, whether they could injure a Martial Artist was still questionable!
He was sowhat disinclined to talk to these people any longer.
Yuki said, “We’re just going to take a look around nearby, see if that works for you.
If not, we’ll turn around and leave.”
This loafer had rarely exercised his brain in his life, and he had even less experience with “making decisions.” Scratching his head, he eventually said, “You have to go see our doctor.
Unless the Town Mayor says otherwise, he’s the boss around here.”
Yuki didn’t refuse.
He was actually quite interested in eting this old acquaintance.
The ruffians soon “escorted” the three of them to Dr.
Schultz’s ho.
The doctor’s ho remained as before, the finest architecture in town, a single-family house made of tal and concrete, even with a touch of the old era’s charm.
Dr.
Schultz still had that red steel face.
But what was different, Yuki felt that Dr.
Schultz seed much more assertive than before.
In Yuki’s mory, although Dr.
Schultz was sowhat greedy, he was generally a decent person, with a bit of what you’d call “service spirit”.
As long as you paid him, you could always get satisfactory treatnt from him.
He didn’t have a high-and-mighty attitude.
But just before, she saw Dr.
Schultz bellowing and scolding those “ho defenders” ruffians.
“How dare you treat people who co to do business in this town like this!” Dr.
Schultz exclaid, “Uncle didn’t ask you to defend against the Green Forest, he didn’t ask you to…”
The group of ruffians hurriedly nodded and bowed, fleeing from Dr.
Schultz’s cottage as if in flight.
Only then did Dr.
Schultz turn to the three of them, “I’m sorry, those guys are ignorant.”
Yuki sensitively realized that there was a defense system installed in Dr.
Schultz’s living room, with gun muzzles hidden in several areas.
—Had she not noticed before?
Or was it…
Liu Ri was a bit curious, “Are those guys attached to your uncle’s person?
It’s not common for a wilderness settlent to do sothing like this, is it?”
Dr.
Schultz feigned a sigh—and Yuki was surprised to find herself noticing Dr.
Schultz’s pretense.
Dr.
Schultz said, “You city folk wouldn’t understand, life is tough here in our wilderness settlents.
Three years ago, we were hit by two waves of the Green Forest in a row, the very famous kind, and even a Great Hero passed through and slaughtered a Welfare Officer here, causing a lot of chaos.
My uncle had no choice…”
—Nonsense!
Yuki’s lips were tightly pursed.
These people even considered her master as part of the “chaos”.
Liu Ri said, “Two famous figures of the Green Forest died…
Silver Transmission Shaft Lev and Chain Missile Gleayard?”
Dr.
Schultz appeared sowhat surprised, “Exactly…
ah, that makes sense, you people from the Martial Artist circle are more sensitive to such news.”
Liu Ri said, “That stick planted at the entrance of the town, is it the legendary weapon of the Silver Transmission Shaft?
A rotating part from a Cosmic Assault Ship?
Made of very strong material?”
Dr.
Schultz nodded, “It is so…”
Liu Ri said, “We ca to your town to purchase items that could be used in a competition, so, in that case, would you sell that stick?”
Dr.
Schultz was startled, “Ah?”
“That stick.” Liu Ri said, “That size, it’s difficult for the workers in your town to utilize, right?
Your town also lacks the ans to update slting techniques.
But for us Martial Artists, this is a rare good item!
We want to buy it to use as a weapon.”
“How about it, na your price?”
