1202 The monster City and the floating city

After a violent roll, Uncle Jim and Morris climbed out of the sand pile!

Although they were wearing long robes and goggles, there was still a lot of fine sand on their bodies, which was constantly shaking down along with their movements.

Looking at the terrifying dark clouds circling above the sand dune, the two of them looked like they had just survived a disaster. After silently looking at each other, they couldn't help but laugh out loud!

Relying on his understanding of the terrain of the garbage mountain, Uncle Jim chose to rush towards this sand dune. The facts proved that his choice was correct. As long as they rolled down from the garbage mountain and left the range of the garbage mountain, these terrifying metal bugs would not continue to chase them.

This was a characteristic of the metal insects that would never change. It was also because of this that the Aboriginals could make use of it and escape from accidents time and time again!

After the joy of escaping, Morris glanced at the unconscious man who had been separated from his legs and half of his body was buried in fine sand. He looked at Uncle Jim with some hesitation.

Although this was not the first time Morris had " picked someone up ", this time he became hesitant. This was because he had already realized that this man did not seem to be simple, and it was very likely that he would bring danger to his companions if he brought him back.

From the moment they had met him, he had shocked them more than once!

"Uncle Jim, are we still taking him away?"

Morris asked for Uncle Jim's opinion, which was a rare sight. It was not the kind of seemingly request but actually extremely stubborn attitude that he had in the past. He would find a way to bring the person back no matter what.

Uncle Jim didn't care about that. He took a few deep breaths and said, " "We saved his life and he saved ours, so we don't owe each other anything!"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Morris 'eyes, but he did not continue to be stubborn.

"But this person's background is very mysterious. Just like what you said, Yingluo, maybe after he recovers, he might give us unexpected rewards out of gratitude!

So Yingluo, let's Yingluo bring him back!"

Hearing this, Morris immediately jumped up in excitement and ran straight to the unconscious man. He wanted to see if he was still light so that the two of them could bring him back to their residence.

Uncle Jim looked at Morris 'back and heaved a long sigh.

He knew that the reason why Morris had such a strange hobby of " picking up people " was not entirely because of his kindness, but because of a story he had heard when he was young.

The protagonist of the story saved a Prince who was in trouble. After the Prince recovered and returned to his country, he gave the protagonist of the story countless wealth that he could not eat for a lifetime!

What really moved Morris in the story was not the countless wealth, but the food that he could never finish in his lifetime!

When Morris was very young, his parents had chosen to enter the dangerous 'city of monsters' to look for food because they lacked food. In the end, they never returned.

Therefore, Morris, who had lost his parents at a young age, had a deep obsession with food.

He hoped that he could be like the protagonists of the stories he had heard when he was a child, helping a Big Shot in distress, and then the other party would give him a generous return, preferably an endless amount of food!

this silly boy. In this day and age, how can there be any big shots in trouble? that's just a plot in a story!

Uncle Jim smiled and shook his head. As one of the " hopes " that Morris picked up, he could not repay him for the huge amount of food. He could only do his best to protect him until the day he fell.

He hoped that this poor and kind child could live a peaceful life and not lose his life because of any accidents!

"Uncle Jim, come and see, we're rich!"

Morris 'excited shouts could be heard, and he kept waving at Uncle Jim, looking very happy.

Uncle Jim struggled to stand up and slowly walked to Morris 'side. He saw that this guy was holding two broken metal bugs, as if they were two rare treasures.

There were dozens of similar metal bugs in the sand nearby, all damaged and stopped working.

After seeing these metal bugs, Uncle Jim also revealed a happy smile on his face.

Metal was extremely scarce in this world. It was not that there was a lack of mineral deposits, but after an accident a hundred years ago, almost all the metals that could be seen everywhere in the world had been collected and devoured by the " Monster City.

The so-called " Monster City " was actually a mutant mechanical city controlled by a super-intelligence. Under the control of the super-intelligence, the collected metal had been swallowed by a special construction mechanical insect, and slowly built into a constantly expanding Metal City!

This kind of Metal City was called " Monster City ". It was full of strange buildings with strange functions. Because the super-intelligence's way of thinking was different from that of humans, the appearance of these buildings was also strange!

In these huge " monster cities, " the metal residue that had been refined was piled together. After a long time, it became special soil, and special plants that had been modified by superintelligence were grown on it.

Although these plants looked equally strange, they could be used to fill their stomachs and adapt to the barren soil to provide food for the indigenous people who relied on garbage to survive.

Unfortunately, the fruit of this plant was very special. After planting it in a different place, there were no seeds. If he wanted to continue to plant it, he would have to obtain it again!

Therefore, it had become a regular operation for the Aboriginals to obtain plant seeds from the monster cities. The entire process was filled with danger, and it could be said that there was only a slim chance of survival!

In these monster cities, other than all kinds of strange buildings, there were also a large number of mechanical guards. They would destroy any non-mechanical creatures as soon as they were discovered!

When the Aboriginals with crude equipment fought against such mechanical monsters, the chances of winning were pitifully low. Therefore, the best choice was to escape as far as possible.

Every year, there would be Aboriginals who would die in the monster City. After making huge sacrifices, they might not be able to get what they wanted.

In order to make weapons and equipment, they also needed to obtain metal materials from the monster cities. This was because the metals that had not been smelted in other places had all been used up by the collection robots with metal detection functions in more than 100 years!

That was why Morris was so excited to get a few metal bugs. After they were processed, they could totally create a brand new sharp weapon, which would increase the combat power of their side again!

In fact, this world didn't only have the Aboriginals who relied on garbage mountains to survive, because they could only be called " abandoned people " at most. In the sky above them, there were also huge floating cities!

These man-made cities suspended in space had a man-made atmosphere. At the same time, they completely simulated the environment on the ground, so that people could live here for a long time, not much different from living on the ground.

The Aboriginals who lived there called themselves 'citizens'. They sent mining robots to collect the minerals deep underground and send them into the sky. They also dumped all kinds of garbage on the surface and looked down at the abandoned people from above, enjoying the gifts they gave.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of the garbage was to provide supplies to the mining robots on the ground, which were collected by the mini-robots that formed the terrible storm and used to maintain the normal operation of the mining robots.

The second was to provide the abandoned people with some extremely pitiful material sources to prevent them from going extinct and causing the citizens to lose their object of pride!
