Time goes back a little bit in the city of time. At 9 o'clock on September 9th, when Zheng Li and his party had just entered the office area of ​​Bailu District Government, the Qiu District of District 5 next door also welcomed its distinguished guests on time.

"Damn it, these metal heads are as punctual as ever and so punctual that they're disgusting. Pfft, Wait, you heard it, metal heads and machines are on time, what a wonderful ironic joke."

On the parking platform, a burly man wearing a cloak stared at the giant steel door that was slowly opening not far away with one eye, but did not even look at the medium-sized aerospace ship that was slowly landing behind him.

His blond hair like lion's hair is draped down to his lower back, and his left eye with three scratches is covered with an eyepatch. His messy golden beard has obviously not been taken care of properly, but the thinnest part of his thick forearms is as thick as an average person's thigh.

.

The metal gloves and combat boots all have a faint red flash of psychic energy, and there is a silver war hammer on the waist. It is obviously a purely human appearance (although it looks like a muscular gorilla), and the only one eye is a strange yellow beast.

Hitomi.

It is said that "Lion Claw" Carter Liu Queltra is not so much the leader of a district, but he is more like the beast-skin savage roaring in the wilderness, but he is not ashamed but proud of it.

The little giant, which is more than two meters tall, is fully armed at all times. As long as he doesn't speak, he looks like a majestic god of war.

At this moment, he suddenly seemed to have found some interesting clue, bending down and smiling like a child.

"Haha, mechanical head and punctuality, metal and clock head."

"What's wonderful is your sense of humor. Normal people can't find anything to laugh about."

Behind him, Waite Sakata, a middle-aged affairs officer dressed as a gentleman in a classic suit, was patiently wiping the glasses in his hands. He also had no intention of looking back. Even though the landing aircraft had already landed, the steam ejected from the exhaust pipe almost

Just blew his top hat away.

"Metal heads and machines are a perfect match. I don't even understand this."

"I only heard racial discrimination against the metal race. As the assistant district chief of the Autumn Division, I want to remind you that just your complaints have flooded the poor complaint handling room, and the explosive rumors about aliens accounted for at least one of them.

Forty percent. For the sake of the reputation of our autumn division, please”

"Ha, old partner, you know me, you want me to speak softly to those alien bastards? How is that possible? You might as well kill me directly."

"No, I want to say, next time you say something like this, remember not to give them a chance to complain. Crushing a telephone pole or something in front of them, and then dragging it into an alley without being persuaded, you are not the best at this.

?”

Well, it seems that this silver-haired gentleman with a kind smile is the same as the barbarian district chief.

The district chief simply sat by the stage, holding a cigar between his carrot-thick fingers, swinging his legs constantly on the edge of the stage, blowing out a big smoke ring beautifully.

"I'm so busy, old man, what's the latest news?"

"News? Just the pile of reports in your office. They are more detailed and true than any news newspaper. At least read it before signing. Although the boys in the Secretariat are very capable, every time they ask you for specific instructions,

That 'what, what did you say' look on your face really dampened their motivation to continue writing the report."

"Tsk. Now that everything has come out, we are still talking about work. I don't trust them anymore. Besides, if you really want me, an old man like me, to deal with the mess, aren't you afraid that our autumn subdivision will become a garbage dump next door?"

"Oh, I'm talking about the Bailu District next door. In fact, they have very strong administrative capabilities. Although Xiao Zheng left, the team and office procedures he left behind are excellent. The city hall even announced that they have learned. By the way, when it comes to Bailu

District, did you see the announcement from their secretariat this morning?"

The old gentleman was leaning on a black cane, looking at the metal door that was slowly opening not far away, and flipping through his work notes with one hand.

"That? Oh, you said that the little guy disappeared again. Isn't that normal? I'm not the little guy's father. How could I know that he was hiding there? They have a purpose for me."

"You really don't know, well, it seems that you really don't know this time. If their district chief comes to play with you again, you should inform their secretariat. In the announcement this morning, their new Secretary-General Wen was crying."

A well-informed old man, just by looking at his expression, Waite Sakata was sure that the district mayor really didn't know anything about it this time, so he shut down the Internet connection with the Bailu District Secretariat.

Originally, I planned to just leave out the recording of "The little guy is waiting and wrestling in XX pub" as before and record it to the other party.

"Oh, it's been more than two years and you're still new. You guys are going too far."

"I'm sorry, I apologize. Maybe his predecessor had too strong a presence. Xiao Zheng's resignation is really a loss to the entire civil service system. I would also like to discuss with him more about the reform of administrative work through the practical implementation of Lingwang."

."

"Zheng Li? I have already said that that guy will quit his job sooner or later. Well, I really didn't say that. But I knew at the first glance that he looked like a fox like you when he smiled, but inside,

He and I are in the same category! How can a peaceful cage contain peerless beasts like us? Really, why are you laughing? Damn it, don’t laugh, I’m very good at judging people!”

"Well, well, Brother Beast, who is extremely accurate in judging people, it was definitely not you who was deceived by strangers on the street half a month ago and took away all his belongings. Ha, fortunately, the spirit tribe who transformed into a spirit blade will also go home on their own.

Your A Chui cursed me in front of your office for two hours and you don’t even remember it.”

"You all heard it? No wonder the little flower at the front desk looked at me strangely those few days. Uh, I, I, I, I sympathized with her. It was really miserable for her family to suffer from floods, and she was also forced into debt by loan sharks, so Ah Chui

Go and protect him, there is no such thing as being deceived! Right, Ah Chui."

The war hammer on his waist did not respond in any way and seemed to be numb.

Waite Sakata, who is called the assistant to the district chief and is actually the general agent of government affairs, sighed helplessly. He was a little suspicious that the city government still adhered to the traditional administrative policy of "the district chief who is on duty twenty-four times must be super capable."

Is it still suitable or not?

The mayor of the Qiu District and the mayor of the Bailu District next door have both been nicknamed the "August Two Fools". Although the district chiefs of other districts are mostly strong men, they are not as indifferent as these two.

He also often caused trouble for the staff below. What the hell is the chief of the first district running away from home often?

Just at this moment, the target he had been waiting for arrived. Fearing that the familiar nagging would arrive on time, Chief Carter quickly diverted his attention and pointed over there.

"Hey, old man, look, it's the Ironman team again. You said those guys always use these old-era tin cans as diplomats. What's the purpose?"

"It was disgusting at first. After all, no matter what era, the most hated thing is a traitor. Later, things went smoothly, and I found that the two devils who know the basics are very useful in all aspects, especially diplomacy and business that require communication.

I don’t even want to change anyone.”

Looking at the scene in the distance, Waite's expression became very subtle as he thought of the Iron Man clan.

The place where their eyes converged was the gate No. 5 of the Autumn Branch that was slowly opening.

From this angle, you can see a convoy slowly driving in. Most of them are large trucks, some of which have various old-era patterns painted on them. The one at the front is a "Welcome to UXA+ Map of the United States" standard American freight.

Big truck.

What followed were police cars, firetrucks, ambulances, etc. from the old era. Apart from the fact that they were all very old, they all dragged an obviously overweight cargo box, or even a single-person three-wheeled motorcycle.

The train car still runs very fast.

That obviously defying physics scene undoubtedly shows that no matter what their appearance is, they are actually trucks now.

After each vehicle enters the city wall, the first thing to do is to unpack the container and put it into the super-large shelves that have been prepared.

Yes, it’s true with my own hands. After a crisp clicking sound, each vehicle turned into a tall metal man. The truck guy at the front was a huge metal giant with a height of six meters. He was now

Keep your head down and organize the shelves.

And from those cars, many metal men who were almost the same size as humans got off. They were communicating with the staff at the city wall and preparing to declare goods for customs clearance.

Liu Carter, the district chief of Qiufeng District, did not spend time in his favorite arena early in the morning, nor did he hang out in his office. He came here to talk about it, that is, because of the diplomatic missions and the canned Atel tribe in front of him.

Trading team.

But don't get me wrong, these "Optimus Primes" are not purebred Altars. They are real Altars.

"District Chief Liu, it's really hard for you to go out of your way to pick me up at the airport."

"Well, welcome to Shiqian City. People from your Atel embassy are waiting below, so I won't send you off."

Without looking back and saying a word, the diplomatic etiquette between the two tribes was over.

Chief Liu Carter was still sitting on the edge, kicking his legs and smoking a cigar. This was already rude enough, but the other side did not give in too much.

Just one "person" came over and said hello from a distance. Others were already walking on the stairs, ready to go down. They walked together, walking in unison, and the weight was amazing, and the entire platform was shaking slightly.

Different from the iron men below who came from land, these Atel people have different skin colors, different heights, and different materials. Yes, the materials are not the same body.

Some are bodies made of copper ore, some are purple crystal people, some are metal people created by technology, and some are like magic puppets in fantasy books. The body is made of either metal or ore.

Some are even a mixture of multiple materials.

Most of them are between 1.9 meters and 2.2 meters in size, with crystal-like pupils ranging from four to one. They are basically humanoid, and their facial features can barely be distinguished (some are missing or have more parts). Most of them have limbs, eight or more.

The three-meter-long man with snake-like hands and feet seemed to be a bodyguard.

The person taking the lead has an obvious aristocratic golden complexion, and the metal skin actually gives people a delicate and smooth feeling. He has many similarities with humans. Judging from the position of the stars holding the moon and bodyguards, he should be a high-level branch of their clan.

This group of people doesn't look like the same race at all, but they do have something in common. In addition to their metal and mineral bodies, their faces and exposed areas on their chests and arms often have alien crystals similar to spiritual crystals, which exude

The brilliance is extremely eye-catching and is very similar to the flash of the Spirit Blade Spirit Crystal!

Carbon-based humans and silicon-based Atels have been sworn enemies since the beginning of the great collision. Now that they can send envoys to each other and conduct business with each other, it can be regarded as the progress of the times.

"Oh, this time we actually sent a six-crystal Alt as the deputy envoy. He will definitely do some messy things again. The secret police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely be waiting for them."

"With all due respect, the diplomatic embassy has been dedicated to doing some unspeakable things since its birth, right?"

What made Waite exclaim in a low voice was that something seemed to have happened at the customs office. The customs declaration process used to be very fast, but now there is an iron man's focus.

They surrounded the customs declaration staff and seemed to be talking about something, but the staff kept shaking their heads.

"It's me"

Waite started to contact him, but the response he received was somewhat puzzling.

"Their diplomatic leader is missing?"

[Yes, distinguished Auxiliary Officer Waite Sakata, our diplomatic mission leader, Mr. CE17T62B8C1, has lost contact 36 hours ago. According to the expected plan, he should meet us two kilometers outside the Autumnal Equinox Gate. ]

The sudden interruption of contact made Waite frown. The rigid grammar and weird name reminded him of something unpleasant.
