Chapter 691 The protagonist of the news

Crossing a river is a large forest. The trees here all have strange shapes, and the branches and leaves are contrary to botanical common sense. In terms of the external outline, they are more like animals or even humans.

The top of the woods was filled with mist, and the underside of the trees was full of white bones. These bones were thick and strong, and at first glance they were the remains of large mutant beasts and insects.

Robin stared at the woods in surprise through the surveillance panel.

"Does Brother Luo like these trees?" Chen Gengxin asked in a teasing tone.

"These trees are so strange. What model are they?"

Chen Gengxin secretly mocked the words "homemaker" and replied: "These are all intelligent plants xxx-51. They form a special 'green belt' that surrounds the entire Zhongcheng. This 'green belt' is 800-1500 meters wide and has a circumference of about 40 kilometers. It is completely artificially cultivated by the Zhongcheng technical department in recent years."

"What a big project! The big guy in the city is indeed courageous!" Robin exclaimed a few times, "It seems that I have eaten a lot of meat in this so-called green belt."

"The reason why Zhongcheng can persist until today under the Zerg's siege is largely due to this shelterbelt," Li Yan added. "The intelligent plant xxx-51 has strong vitality, fast reproduction, strong sense of territory and teamwork, and is merciless to the invaders. They can easily block and swallow ferocious mutant beasts and insects passing through the woods, and can also throw or spray soil, stones, fruits and water to attack low-altitude targets. In the past year, they have eliminated at least 500,000 insects for Zhongcheng humans."

"Awesome!" Robin clapped loudly and patted his head again, "Why didn't I think of using smart plants to deal with bugs?"

"Not everyone can tame smart plants, they are extremely dangerous." Li Yan pointed to a human corpse on the screen, "and they will be merciless to treat humans who invade their territory."

"Since smart plants are so dangerous, I wonder how Midtown artificially cultivates such a large piece of shelterbelt and controls them?"

"I don't know the details, but there is one thing that is well known to people in the middle city: the chief expert who cultivates smart plant xxx-51 is the battlefield commander of this resource collection operation, Betes."

"Ha, so Mr. Bei is so powerful!"

"Mr. Bets has a supernatural power that no one else in Midtown does: he can communicate with intelligent plants and not be harmed by them."

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to ask Benedict." Robin continued, "Apart from smart plants, do Midtown have any powerful insect-proof methods?"

"Brother Luo, you like to ask questions so much, and it is easy to be regarded as a spy sent from other places." Chen Gengxin warned, "Do you know how Zhongcheng deals with spies?"

"Take them to xxx-51 as meat buns?"

"To be a son-in-law of a smart plant is considered a preferential treatment, and the most likely thing is to be sent to M laboratory for vivo dissection."

"I'll go! OK, I'll stop."

The convoy passed through protective forests along a 50-meter-wide avenue specially opened after the end of the world and came to an agricultural area full of strange crops. A large number of worn-out people were busy on the farmland under the monitoring of the mecha.

"Huh? So many herbs have been planted?" Robin approached the screen and carefully checked the picture. He opened his mouth to ask, but when he thought that he might be regarded as a "spy", he had to stop.

In addition to herbs, there are also some crops similar to cereals, vegetables, fruits, etc. Many crops have reached their maturity stage and seem to provide a lot of harvest.

The ecological environment in the end of the world is extremely vital, and there is almost no need to deliberately fertilize or water, and crops will grow normally. For farmlands of the same area, the crop growth cycle is shorter, the yield is larger, and the nutritional value of agricultural products is higher. The total area of ​​these farmlands is only about 5,000 mu, but it is enough to provide basic rations for the 50,000 people in Zhongcheng.

Passing through the farmland, there is a very wide and deep artificial moat in front. Behind the moat is a city wall of 30 meters high and 10 meters thick composed of reinforced concrete, giant stones, etc. There are a large number of moving or fixed mechas and guard posts on the city wall. There is a small fortress at every distance, and the opening of the fire reveals the figures of machine cannons, cannons, electromagnetic cannons, laser emitters, etc.

The road leading to the bridge head was crowded with people, mechas and vehicles. Staff in uniforms checked the people who were about to enter the city one by one at the bridge head.

Bets reminded in the communicator: "We can only carry you here by the guy named Robin. You must leave yourself below. You can leave our mecha and convoy for 10 seconds!"

The collection team left Robin and rushed to the bridge in a swagger. They admired and entered the city directly with envious eyes.

//////////////

Robin, who was unkempt, dressed in rags, carrying a bow and arrow, and hanging a dagger on his waist, stood on the side of the road at the entrance of the Midtown, looking around curiously.

Dozens of convoys are queuing up to enter the city. The mechas, vehicle models, personnel clothing, equipment, etc. in these convoys are basically marked with the official department logos of the Central City. At first glance, they are the working teams going out to perform formal tasks; only a few convoys are equipped with messy equipment, with different personnel, and obviously belong to the civilian team.

The environment of the deep end of the world is too dangerous, and it is almost impossible for a person to survive alone (unless he is a powerful person with a level 6 plus star soul). Because of this, there is no lone walker at all among the power of going out in the Midtown.

There is an unwritten rule circulating in the middle city: 35,000 is not stable, 3500 is hard to fight, 3500 is hard to go out, 350 does not go out. It means: if you want to go out and 35,000 people gather, it may not be able to ensure stability; if there are only 3500 people, it is hard to fight for life and take a lot of risks; if there are only 3500 people, you should simply not go out, as you go out will die.

The number of people Robin encountered in this time was only 60, but he dared to run hundreds of kilometers away because they were well-trained, had the most powerful weapons and equipment in the city, and were dominated by level 6 strongmen; otherwise, in front of the army of more than 100,000 insect swarms, there would be only a portion of food to deliver.

A star soul like Robin is only a fourth-level star, alone and carrying only simple cold weapons in the wild area, is definitely a wonder in the Midtown. This is also the main reason why Bets and others were shocked after seeing him.

Now, although Robin is already in the crowd, his outfit is so "shocking" that everyone can't help but stare at him and talk.

"Is this guy mentally retarded, or is his accomplice eaten up by bugs?"

"I think the former is more likely."

"No, right? Can a mentally retarded live until now? It must be that his accomplice just finished."

"The two of you have no contradiction. The guy carrying the arrow may be a mentally retarded person whose accomplice has just been killed. He was probably lucky and was rescued by the collection team that went out to perform the mission this time."

“It makes sense!”

A passerby who was playing with his mobile phone said: "Brothers, today's Midtown News has begun to be broadcast!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately surrounded the passerby and watched the mobile phone of the passerby. In order to entertain citizens and share current affairs information, the official Zhongcheng will broadcast some news, announcements and practical information between 17 and 19 pm every afternoon. Any area covered by the signal can be viewed through terminals such as smartphones.

"Ha, it turns out that this guy is called Robin." The news broadcasts the footage of Li Yan interviewing Robin. "If you want to defeat the bug, you have to understand the bug first; if you want to understand the bug, you have to become a bug first. Let me go! Don't look at this guy's appearance, every word he says is classic. Haha!"

Everyone laughed at Robin, who was queuing on the roadside.

Robin knew that they were talking about him, waved his hand calmly and smiled: "The people of the Central City are indeed hospitality."

A young man suddenly shouted loudly: "This guy actually boasted that he could beat at least 100 Betes! I can be sure now that he is 100% mentally retarded."

"Absolutely. I'm curious, why didn't Bets kill this stupid x?" Another passerby turned his head to Robin not far away, "Strange x, how did you escape from the boss Bets?"

"I have no grudges and no grudges with Mr. Beck, how could he make things difficult for me?" Robin heard the man call him stupid, but was not angry at all. In addition to "cultivating", does a person with absolute strength need to be as knowledgeable as a weak person like an ant? It's like when you are walking on the road and hear a dog slapped at you, would you rush over and bite the dog? Maybe some people will, but Robin won't; in Robin's opinion, Bets won't either.

At this time, another sentence from Robin "stunning words" was played in the news: "With my agile skills, superb wisdom, extraordinary courage and handsome appearance, I will respond to it wherever I go... I am afraid that others will insist on recruiting me as my son-in-law if I have nothing to do."

Everyone laughed again, and everyone laughed so hard that they were upside down, and there were even people who were happy to shoot guns into the sky. Passersby who had previously called Robin stupid came over and patted Robin's cheeks and said, "It's true that he is handsome, especially with this lush beard, he has the temperament of a decadent young man in the apocalyptic world. Brother, if the big guy in the Midtown doesn't recruit you as his son-in-law, he will lose a lot!"

Such a big noise will certainly alarm the duty staff at the bridgehead. The leader of the mecha staff on duty will step in front of everyone and asked sternly: "What's the situation?"

Everyone put away their laughter and pointed at Robin and explained: "We are watching the protagonist in the news of Midtown today, the future son-in-law of the big boss in Midtown."

The leader of the mecha showed off his fierce look and asked Robin: "Is this the first time you have arrived in the Midtown? Then immediately accept quarantine and identity review! If you refuse, we will expel you from the border of the Midtown; if you make trouble, we will kill you immediately! Do you understand? Tell me, what is your choice?"

“I undergo quarantine and identity review.”

"Congratulations on your answer correctly. Come with me to the inspection office!"

Robin waved to everyone politely and followed the leader of the mecha to a small passage specially set up on the left side of the city gate.

//////////////

This is an oval passage with a length of more than 30 meters and a diameter of no more than 2.5 meters. There is a shooting hole on the left and right of the entrance. There is a small door on the right of the entrance with a glass window next to it. Behind the glass window is a young woman in a neat white coat and beautiful appearance. She told Robin through the window: "Point her face at the camera, and do not let her hair and beard cover her face. Okay, take the photo and collect blood below. Please extend your right arm into the round hole of the glass window."

The young woman skillfully rolled up Robin's sleeves, cleanly collected 20 ml of blood samples, then put the blood samples into an oven-like instrument, and then began to operate the computer.

"omg!" the young woman exclaimed loudly, "Level 7 corpse poison is positive! Slug virus is positive!" She pressed the red alert button with her hand trembling due to panic.

In just a few seconds, more than 10 fierce armed mecha personnel rushed in and pointed their weapons at Robin.

"What happened?" Robin asked calmly.

The young woman pointed at Robin and said, "He...he carries at least 14 deadly viruses of the demon level in his blood!"

"Miss Zhang, are you sure?" asked a mecha staff member, pulling out the insurance of the specially made electromagnetic gun in his hand. "How can a person infected with 14 demon-level viruses be lively?"

"Yes." Robin's eyes locked on the young woman's computer, "My body has been normal recently, please check it again."

The young woman checked the computer again, "Strange, why did the data of each indicator suddenly drop again?" She was shocked and looked at Robin with beautiful eyes, "I need to get a blood test again."

"No problem!" Robin smiled friendly at the mecha personnel pointing at him with a gun, and once again pulled his arms deep into the round hole.

The young woman was afraid of the super virus that might be hidden in him, so she was extremely careful in the blood collection process. Soon, the blood test results came out, and all the indicators tested were within the normal range, and all the virus test results were negative.

The young woman wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "He passed the blood test and can do the next test."

The second test was the Star Soul Strength Test, and the one who performed the test was a middle-aged man with a serious expression. He asked Robin to complete 10 tests similar to the level-breaking video game, all of which were completed with ordinary results.

The middle-aged man entered the following information on the computer terminal: "Test subject: Robin; test result: early stage of level 4 star soul; significant ability: hand and eye reaction speed level 5 plus." He reminded Robin while typing: "You can conduct the third level check."

There is a small room next to the exit of the passage, where Wang Xiaoya is playing with her mobile phone bored. In recent times, there have been more and more abilities in the middle city. Wang Xiaoya, who only has junior and middle level memory abilities, is becoming less and less important, and was eventually dispatched to the position of director of the inspection department, which is not very important. Her main job is to screen out infected people, spies, sabotage elements and abilities from the inspection personnel.

She will conduct oral inquiries on Robin based on the previous two levels of tests to finally determine whether he can be included in the "scarce talents" in Midtown.
Chapter completed!
