Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

To Li Lin's surprise, his request was relatively difficult to realize in Zaun.

But after Huck explained a little bit, he suddenly figured it out.

Due to the existence of the Sungate Sea Lock, a large amount of seawater is blocked from the Piltover Canal, providing a safe haven for trading ships.

As a result, the coastline along Zaun is relatively free of ebb and flow.

But this is only for the pier in Zaun’s mid-level plaza.

In the trench area on the ground floor, there are still several coastlines with large tidal drops that have not been developed into piers.

There is still a big gap between the ditch area and the lower part of the middle-level square.

Li Lin originally thought about spending some money to take the elevator down with Huck, but unexpectedly he refused and proposed another plan.

Go straight down the steep path.

Then, Huck led Li Lin down several ramps and stairs, finally arriving at a giant abandoned steel frame with a purple glowing sign.

Under the influence of the haze, looking down, it seems that there is only a dark "abyss" with no bottom.

Li Lin was a little unsure and said, "Emmm...is this the path you are talking about?"

He carefully observed the structure of the abandoned frame, which should be used to build an elevator.

However, due to various reasons, the project was stopped only half way through.

It's quite steep, but where is the road?

"Hehehe, of course." Even Huck put on a low-quality alchemy breathing filter, making a loud sound.

He chuckled and pointed downward, "Let's lie down along the frame. Hehe, it's not too high, only more than twenty meters."

More than twenty meters is not too high? !

If I had known that you were talking about this kind of "small road", I might as well have taken the elevator down...

Li Lin's eyes widened and he couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Uh, I'm not telling you, are you sure this rusty frame can withstand my power armor?"

"Well...hehe, it should be possible, right?" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Huck's face.

To be honest, he really didn't pay much attention to this issue before.

But we have already come this far, and it will take a lot of time to go back and take the elevator.

It's almost noon now, and Li Lin must quickly determine a location where a tidal power station can be built.

The first batch of hydraulic generators have been manufactured under the arrangement of Mrs. Karina, and workers have to be found to build the dam here.

Time cannot stand the waiting.

He only had five years, and there was really not much time left for the construction of the projects he planned.

Li Lin sighed and said to Huck, who was waiting for him to speak: "Let's start with this."

"Okay, hey hey hey..."

"How are you going to get down?"

Li Lin looked at Huck curiously, but he did not answer the question.

He just rubbed his hands, stuffed his glasses into his jacket pocket, and then jumped on the spot and did a set of warm-up exercises.

Seeing that Huck was so old and had such a fragile body, and he didn't seem to have any strength at all, Li Lin seemed a little hesitant.

Just when he was about to suggest whether to go back and take the elevator, Huck took a deep breath and let out a loud roar.

Immediately, he arched his left leg forward, straightened his right leg back, and sprinted forward after being fully prepared.

"Hello……"

Li Lin was stunned for a second, and when he wanted to reach out to stop him, it was already too late.

But at the next moment, Huck's performance really surprised Li Lin.

When he sprinted to the edge of the cliff, he kicked the ground hard with his back feet. He jumped more than three meters as if flying, and suddenly hugged the metal bar closest to the ground here.

Huck breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to Li Lin and shouted: "Hey, come on Mr. Li Lin, this stand is very stable!"

He waved to Li Lin, then climbed down the iron frame.

After a while, Huck's figure disappeared into the haze and disappeared from Li Lin's sight.

"..."

Li Lin frowned and hesitated on the edge of the cliff for a long time.

"Hey! Mr. Li Lin, come down quickly!" Huck's call came again from below the cliff.

It looked like he had reached the ground safely.

Anyway, my power armor has a shock-absorbing function, so falling from a height of six to seven meters is not a problem. At most, I will lose some health points...

Li Lin comforted himself a little in his heart.

Then, he tentatively climbed onto the steel frame, which had a relatively stable structure, without much problem.

Amidst the sounds of mechanical gears and parts running and the crunching of metal frames bearing the weight, Li Lin moved down step by step.

It wasn't until his dangling feet touched the ground again that his pounding heart gradually calmed down.

call……

Fortunately, no accidents occurred.

Li Lin turned on the lights and looked around to get a rough idea of ​​the environment he was in.

This seems to be an abandoned mine hole.

There are traces of mining ores everywhere, and there are many abandoned and unusable tools scattered around.

A small wooden hut with a rotten roof was clinging to the bottom of the cliff on one side. The walls were covered with graffiti made with colored crayons.

"This room, hehehe, Wei and Bakubao come here often. It's their secret base. Hehehe, even Craig and Milo don't know about it."

Huck was standing next to the cabin at this time and introduced Li Lin in a dull voice.

Li Lin looked at the graffiti on the wall and nodded in agreement: "Well...it does have a blast style."

"No, but you must, must keep it a secret. Hehe, Bao Bao discovered this place. She doesn't want others to know."

Huck returned to Li Lin and walked non-stop toward the dark space on the other side.

"Mr. Li Lin, this way!"

…

…

Before coming to Digou, Li Lin thought he had been mentally prepared.

But the environment and people's lives here still had a big psychological impact on him.

There are potholes filled with green bubbling alchemical venom all over the place, homeless people with scanty clothes and sallow faces in the winter, and even some orphans fighting over the remains of spoiled black bread dug out of the garbage...

There are not even a few small metal houses that can be sheltered from the wind like the one in the middle square. If anyone has a shabby tent, it is considered a luxury residence.

Not only that, but there are also rotting corpses that can be seen everywhere in dark corners, where no one has recovered them, being devoured by a group of shadow rabbits, plague rats, and various mosquitoes, flies, and maggots.

Li Lin couldn't see any hope, not even despair, from the faces of these people.

The only thing left, besides numbness... is still numbness.

Even when Li Lin, who was wearing power armor, passed in front of these people, they just looked up with blank eyes, and then lowered their heads again.

Or, they could reach out to block the light from the armor, which was very irritating to their eyes that had adapted to the darkness.

Li Lin felt very heavy.

The situation in the ditch was much more serious than he imagined.

Even Huck, who was leading the way, could feel Li Lin's suppressed emotions through the armor. "You...are you here for the first time?"

He nodded without saying a word.

"Actually, hehe, this place we passed is considered a slum in the ditch area. Other places are much better than here, hehe..."

Huck was not very confident, he just wanted to comfort Li Lin.

As a person who was born in the ditch, if Fandel and Silko hadn't led them in the uprising, he would have starved to death long ago and been eaten clean by various creatures.

Although other places are indeed slightly better than here, but compared to the mid-rise plaza, it is nothing more than worse.

There are only four types of people living in ditches: miners, scavengers, homeless people and ditch orphans.

And these people all have one thing in common - they are desperate.

If they really can't survive, who would be willing to come to the ditch, a dark place where the sky is dark and the environment is so bad that it is almost impossible for people to survive normally?

Once a person is down and ends up living in a ditch, his life will begin to count down.

Under the premise of lack of food, water and fresh air, it is also corroded by various alchemical toxic substances.

Except in mines or some shops, alchemy technology lighting is completely a luxury here.

There was darkness everywhere, even time lost its meaning, and almost everyone suffered from both physical and mental pressure.

A homeless man who is already weak and has not yet undergone the amplification and transformation of alchemy technology can only survive here for half a year.

If those orphans had stayed in such an environment instead of being adopted by an orphanage among the middle and upper classes of Zaan, they might not even be able to survive their childhood.

However, some alchemy barons who are not so cruel will install a few extremely low-power alchemy technology air filters dug out of the garbage dump in the mine.

Of course, most of the time, it is just for the miners to comfort themselves...

After an unknown amount of time, the two of them finally walked out of this slum.

Li Lin took a deep breath. Even the breathing filter device on the armor's mask could not completely dissipate the smell of the haze he inhaled.

I must speed up the progress of Zaun's construction...
