Chapter 86
At around noon, the caravan finally arrived at the destination, Titan City.
Down the winding road, past a few scattered ruins, to a radio station in another part of the wilderness.
If it wasn't for Camber, who was a seasoned businessman leading the way, Zero would never have thought that such an empty space would be the entrance to an underground base.
Today's bases, if they weren't built underground with equipment still usable in the city ruins, would be like Angry Reef cities, directly using the Old Earth cities.
It was unique that Titan City was built directly into the wilderness.
And this name, full of legends, piqued his curiosity.
When the base identified Campbell, the base of the radio station slowly rose to reveal a large cargo elevator. It was very convenient to carry people.
The caravan drove directly into the large elevator. As the elevator sank and the bright and dark lights intertwined, Zero once again sighed in admiration at the amazing talent of humans in creating.
Adventurers like Cumberg, who walked the continent, usually had their own footholds.
The city of Titan was one of the places where Kampf settled. For this reason, Kampf would pay some fees to these bases every year in exchange for his personal and cargo safety at this base.
In times of turmoil, without such a destination, it is difficult for adventurers to trade long distances, and mobs and even those who are stationed at the base can take goods and kill people at any time.
These costs, merchants will also convert them into the added value of the goods, so they do not mind paying a certain amount of protection fees to these bases.
When the elevator stopped with a slight jolt, the two steel doors opened from the left and right.
Thus, an amazing city appeared in front of Zero's eyes.
This underground base city was not like Remutt, who used alloy plates to seal off the original rock layers to create an underground city that had a sense of the future.
Titan City is also excavating vast spaces in the ground, but it also shows any modern processing and decoration.
The underground city presented itself to every visitor in its original form.
From the warehouse elevator that went in and out of the city, it was a winding road that led down.
The city of Titan spreads out in terraced terraces, and spires of medieval European-style houses rise and fall on these terraced rock platforms.
There was even a Gothic church in the square at the bottom of the city.
And the city's creator must have been a romantic. On the four walls of the city, artisans carved four giant Titan stone statues with etched technology.
With their backs to the rock formations above, the icons stretched out their arms as if they were propping up the city with their own bodies and arms.
Such a spectacular painting of the city left Zero deeply shocked.
He was not the only one who was shaken. Besides Monique, even the merchants who had passed through the middle of the year in Camber were silent as they gazed at the city.
"Very touched."
"Only this city," said Campbell, "is deeply moved every time I come here.
It was only here that I could temporarily forget the cruelty and fear of the wilderness, as if I were back in the old days.
It is a pity that there is no sky and no sun, or this city would be the Garden of Eden for everyone. "
For the first time, Zero did not find this pot-bellied profiteer so annoying.
Perhaps in this great city they had found something in common with each other in the heart.
The caravan pulled out of the elevator and followed the road deeper into the city.
As they passed the residential area of the city, many half-grown children ran after the caravan in high spirits.
He even dared to lift the tarp on the truck and let the "goods" in the cage run away in fright.
The road wound around and around, and the farther down it went, the clearer was the square at the very bottom of the city.
The square was made of gray, hollow bricks, and was divided into four areas by a cross of the Divine Avenue.
In the center of the square was a circular fountain. In the middle of the fountain was a female statue.
Cumbersome said that it was the War Goddess Athena, but the indistinct tone made Lingcun feel as if the residents of Titan City were braver and braver.
"Fight!"
The men of this city are all unruly butchers, and they rejoice in brawls and brawls.
And these should be due to the genes of their parents. According to what I know, many of the men who founded Titan City had the ability to do so.
"After three generations of reproduction, more than half of the children in Titan City started showing their ability in mutation zones at the age of ten."
At the hotel, Cumberg said to Zero, "So the city is almost entirely occupied, and the ten-year-old has been subjected to brutal military training, and those who don't want to be left behind are thrown out of the barracks as ordinary civilians.
You know, they call it Spartan education.
"Hey, fuck Sparta."
The Warlord Hotel was one of the few hotels in the city, in which Cumberg's caravan stayed.
Cumberg directed the drudgery to move the "goods" carefully into the hotel's storehouse and then let the drudgery gather up the food for the lovely goods.
If they couldn't fill the stomachs of the mutants in time, Cumberg might just drop them into the cage and feed them.
This was not impossible under the guns of the arctic fox soldiers, so the hard labor was especially hard work.
Now temporarily employed in Cumberg, a senior employee like Captain Battle, he naturally did not have to do such menial work, and even the cost of the hotel was paid for by Cumberg.
He and Monnie shared a small room in a separate suite, and though it had only one bed, it was a luxury to be able to rest in such a way during the journey.
Camber seemed to be staying in the city for a day or two, and according to him there seemed to be a party going on in the city of Titan.
As for what kind of grand event it was, he didn't care, but he didn't object to it being able to rest for two days in such a grand underground city. This place would become a part of his memories, and he would never forget it.
Monnie was curious about the city, too, and after dinner she planned to take Lara shopping.
As long as Monnie wore the emblem of his caravan, the ubiquitous sheriff would guarantee Monnie's safety.
So Zero handed his dagger to Monnie, and the precocious girl slipped out of the hotel.
What he didn't know was that Monnie didn't go shopping.
Something in the warehouse seemed more attractive to her than the city.
The people guarding the goods were a few Arctic Fox Warriors. Naturally, they could recognize the girls who joined the caravan with Zero.
These soldiers were not gentlemen, and Monnie's boyish looks could easily awaken the animal nature of these males.
However, they would not forget that the man who called himself the girl's father could easily take down a Wolf King 500 meters away.
The soldiers didn't want their heads to burst, so they could only spit on Monnie, not daring to do anything to her.
But they wouldn't let Monnie get close to the warehouse, and the goods there weren't docile.
Monnie, however, only needed a sweet smile to turn the lecherous men around.
After Monnie had promised not to stay in the warehouse for more than ten minutes, they let the girl in.
Under the light of the warehouse, the huge cage that held Bessemos stood out.
