"What's ahead?"

Dennis hesitated for a moment, slowed down the car, stopped in the middle of the road, and pointed ahead: "Ford Duke's people are right in front. At that time, Colombia assigned a mayor to parachute into Saint-Aral. As the leader of the local gang, Duke was the first

Time went to the new mayor, and then the new mayor was kicked out of the Rust Belt by Mr. Demos, and Duke changed his family, and now Mr. Demos has passed away..."

"Is this guy named Duke rebelling again?"

Zhou Jinru almost didn't laugh out loud. The so-called Ford Duke would defect to whichever side the power was strong. He could no longer be described as a grassroots. He was simply a tumbleweed. He would fall wherever the wind blew.

.

Seeing that Zhou Jinru was not under any pressure, Dennis laughed slightly, and couldn't help but strengthen his tone: "Mr. Aguang, I don't know who you rely on, but the old Duke does have some strength in St. Yalar, and only Timo

Mr. Si can suppress him."

"Then how are you going to lead the way? Are you going to take a detour?"

There was a trace of solemnity on Dennis's young face: "The city is quite chaotic now. If I just bring two people to get through it, I'm still sure, but before... the Osvid gang was already alert, and I was worried that something might happen."

, so please don’t do anything extraordinary, we just need to get through."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Zhou Jinru was somewhat optimistic about this young man named Dennis. He didn't lie. If boarding the ship was a hope, then he would keep moving forward until he achieved his goal or failed completely.

What if your faith is shattered?

Then give him another one.

Dennis reached out and fumbled inside the side tricycle, pulled out a set of clothes and handed them to Zhou Jinru, meaning that Hong behind him should put them on.

Hong's bright red coat and pretty face were so eye-catching that he could tell at a glance that he was a foreigner. Dennis was right to worry. When Zhou Jinru was stopped by the Jacks in Blue gang, it was because the other party noticed Hong.

"Dennis, do you know this city is falling into a disaster?"

Dennis was silent for two seconds, nodded and admitted: "I know, you want to ask why so many people don't care, right?"

Zhou Jinru appreciated it more and more and helped Hong get dressed. In fact, it was just a starched and white overalls with a few traces of sewing.

"We know everything here, every street, the people who live around us. You know, the mobility of Rust Belt residents is almost negligible. We are a land city. Maybe an ordinary citizen's neighbor lives from birth to death.

Together, my neighbors are an old couple. They came here many years ago and have lived here for decades. They never leave the radius of ten kilometers from home. The outside world is strange and unfamiliar to us.

Friendly, so we would rather stay here, maybe disaster won't happen."

This is not cowardice, but a form of self-protection.

Zhou Jinru asked, "Then do you want to go out and take a look?"

Dennis spread his hands: "I have no reservations about your question. I have no relatives in this city, only a few friends, and they can only be regarded as companions to live with. To be honest, if I can leave here, I will

I am willing to take a look at the outside world. Maybe it may not be better than here, but I still want to take a look."

Having said this, Zhou Jinru was even more satisfied. He was inclined to recommend this young man to Old Butler Aske, and he might also consider absorbing him from Rhode Island.

"We should go."

With an urging, they drove one after another towards the territory of Ford Duke's gang. Zhou Jinru noticed that there was actually no difference between Old Duke's gang and the two gangs he met before. They were almost doing the same operation, occupying the main road.

, collect tolls.

"Hey, Dennis!"

While Dennis was trying to negotiate with gang members in front of the roadblock, a call came from the balcony of a three-story building on one side of the road. Soon, a boy about Dennis' age ran down.

Zhou Jinru could see clearly from behind that the boy calling Dennis was shorter than the former, but more than twice as strong. He really didn't know how he did it.

"Bowman, why are you here?"

Dennis glanced nervously behind the boy named Bowman, which was in the direction of Zhou Jinru and Hong. He took Bowman's arm, walked to the side of the road, and asked in a low voice.

Bowman did not notice Dennis's nervousness. He looked at his friend and said excitedly: "Dennis, where have you been running away these days? I can't find you. I have now joined Old Duke's gang. Do you know, he

Promise that all gang members can get on the ship! A big ship, a real big ship! We can also become citizens of the mobile city!"

Facing Bowman's excitement, Dennis was thinking about another problem. He hooked his arm around his friend's neck and lowered his voice: "Okay Bowman, now is not the time to talk about this. I have taken on a business now.

There are two people who want to go there, can you help?"

"Are they those two people?"

Bowman rolled his eyes, looked at the motorcycle parked in the middle of the road, and said with a smile: "It's a small matter, leave it to me."

On the other side, Zhou Jinru looked at the two people holding each other's back, and his emotion perception was constantly detecting.

"Dennis was very nervous. He knew the other party and was negotiating with the other party. They looked over together. The other party's mood was a little surprised, but he was still relaxed... There was a trace of anger in Dennis's heart. What was going on?"

As Zhou Jinru watched, Dennis took out a few banknotes from his pocket and put them into his hand. The fat boy ran away and said something to the gang members who blocked the road. Someone looked over here. After a while, the fat boy

He waved to this side to indicate that he could pass.

"Sir, you can leave, we just need to keep a low profile."

Dennis's low words made Zhou Jinru look at him and asked casually: "How much did you pay?"

"Not much, just enough for three people's travel expenses."

"That was your companion just now. Did he mention recruiting you?"

Dennis was silent for two seconds, shook his head and said: "There is no way I will join Old Duke."

"Why?"

"Mr. Timos is very kind to us all. It is impossible for Old Duke to replace him. Everyone understands what kind of person Old Duke is."

The three people drove forward and passed the roadblocks all the way. No blocking incident occurred as they imagined. This made Zhou Jinru relieved. His luck was not so bad that he was stopped at three roadblocks.

"Thank you for this, but the specific reward will not be given to you until you arrive at the Rhine Institute of Life Sciences."

"Yes sir, that's fair."

At this moment, Hong was quietly squeezing Zhou Jinru's lower back in the back seat, as if she had something to say.

"what happened?"

"Red smells the scent of an outsider."

Zhou Jinru raised his eyebrows: "Outsiders? Are they outsiders like us?"

"No, it's a very strong smell. They are incompatible with the rust belt. Red is disgusting."

Hong's reminder made Zhou Jinru scan it again with his emotional talent, but no strange phenomena were found. When he completely left the range of the roadblock, his slightly tense nerves relaxed.

"It seems that there is indeed something watching us. It is well hidden and has no intention of intervening, but it is always vigilant."

Zhou Jinru's intuition has always been very accurate. Dennis said that Old Duke once cooperated with Colombia, so now that he is not suppressed by Timos, he is very likely to seek cooperation again, and it is inevitable that he will hide some masters or weapons and equipment.

The water in the Rust Belt has always been so murky, but it was previously obscured by the dazzling Deimos. It is a recognized gray area. Even the Integration Movement sells food and smuggles equipment here, so it is understandable that it is chaotic.

After passing the roadblock of the Ford Duke gang, it was not far from the Rhine Life Research Institute. This was the first time for Zhou Jinru to go through an unfamiliar road. Dennis guided him all the way, otherwise he would really get lost.

Half an hour later, two motorcycles stopped in front of the research institute. Zhou Jinru let out a long breath. When he saw the lights of the research institute, he knew it was still safe. He took out a stack of blue banknotes from his pocket and counted a few.

Zhang handed it to Dennis: "You deserve this."

But Dennis only took half of it and bowed deeply to Zhou Jinru: "Sir, I want to follow you. I know a lot of skills, machining, machine tool operation, and an intermediate electrician. If you need me to fight, just give me

I have a weapon..."

"You really think so. You are from the Rust Belt and you should know better than to trust a stranger casually. Aren't you afraid that I will sell you to you?"

"I'm not afraid, you are not that kind of person."

Dennis's eyes were firm. He had seen some people who were not big or small, and he had also seen real big people. The workshop director of the factory was a person who was not big or small, and the director was a big person, but the one he truly admired could only be the one in the office.

Mr. Demos seen on TV.

Tonight, he met another big shot, and even though the other person didn't say anything, he recognized him.

Mr. Aguang in front of him casually knocked down the Oswide Gang, not caring whether he would be protected. Even when facing the powerful Ford Duke Gang, he acted very relaxedly, as if these two gangs were under his control.

It's like dust in front of you, it can be dispersed with just a pat.

The opportunity is right in front of him, and Dennis will never give up.

"Well, actually I am a very talkative person. I originally wanted to keep you, but I would recommend you to find a job with Miss Timos instead of here."

Zhou Jinru did not refuse. He turned around and walked towards the research institute with Hong. He knocked on the door and gestured to the surveillance camera in front of the door, hoping that the people inside would find him in time.

…

…

Ansuo's face turned pale. After lying down for several days, she was finally able to get out of bed and walk. She learned from Wei Feng who came to check the ward that a major change had occurred in the city of Saint Yalar. The doctor and the others had a fierce fight on Broken Avenue.

, and even built a land cruiser...

She didn't know how the land speeder did it, but she could clearly see the chill on Breeze's face.

"Doctor, he is a busy man. He is busy running around all day long. He even goes to the battlefield without a medical operator. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to leave a message and say, oh, I'm not angry. I'm really not. I'm very busy.

Good, very good."

Watching the black air above her head as Wei Feng left, Ansuo secretly felt a little sweat for Zhou Jinru in her heart. Miss Wei Feng must be very angry at such a big resentment.
