"The radio broke down half a month ago."
"I can't leave the city and can't contact you."
"I didn't expect someone to be sent here so soon."
"Is the action about to start?"
Sun Xiaotian's face was full of anticipation.
Qin Ze patted his shoulder heavily: "Yes."
"Do a good job, the organization will not forget your contribution."
"After the matter is done, you will be awarded a medal."
Hearing this, Sun Xiaotian stood up straight and put his right fist on his chest.
"For the glory of the human race!"
Qin Ze communicated with the five kings in his head.
Qin Ze spoke first: "There should be a gathering place underground. You all go and get some information later."
King of Law: "No wonder the surveillance camera was destroyed. It should be them."
Brother Devourer: "Dynasty is probably a rebel-like existence, fighting against AI."
Thousand Faces: "This little idiot thought we were his contact."
Lord of the Mist: "It is obvious that Dynasty is also a makeshift team. The contact is so sloppy, without even a secret code. It is not easy for them to survive until today."
Juba hesitated for a moment and said: "What if the contact person really comes? Wouldn't we be exposed?"
Everyone: "..."
Juba: "Uh... Well, we shouldn't be so unlucky."
King of Law was a little crazy: "Can you stop setting flags!"
After walking in the dark underground pipeline for nearly an hour, Sun Xiaotian brought everyone to a rusty iron door.
"It was originally an abandoned maintenance room, but I turned it into a residence."
"It's far from black shops and gathering places. After all, underground workers like us have to protect our identities."
Sun Xiaotian proudly showed off to Qin Ze and opened the door.
The space at the door is not very large, about 20 square meters.
The furnishings in the room are also extremely simple.
A bed and a table.
Three large wooden boxes are stacked in the corner, filled with various miscellaneous items.
There is an old radio on the table.
The radio was mostly disassembled, and dozens of electronic parts were scattered around.
There was no power supply in the room, and the only light was a kerosene lamp.
Sun Xiaotian cleared the debris on the table and put the oil lamp on it.
Qin Ze and others stood around the table, and the weak candlelight of the oil lamp made their faces flicker.
If you don't know, you might think they are doing some evil ritual here.
Sun Xiaotian rubbed his hands: "The conditions in the city are like this, don't mind it."
Qin Ze sighed: "We are late."
"I didn't expect you to live in such bad conditions."
"The organization will never forget your efforts, and we will see the dawn one day."
Sun Xiaotian's eyes were filled with tears.
Finally, there are people who understand him.
The people sent by the higher-ups before either complained about the poor living conditions or the poor food.
How can you persist in the struggle if you can't even endure this little hardship?
Today, I have finally met like-minded people.
Sun Xiaotian excitedly held Qin Ze's hand: "It's good that we are not forgotten."
Qin Ze didn't expect that his casual words of comfort would have such a great lethality to Sun Xiaotian, and he was a little confused.
"Everyone is ready."
"Now we are waiting for you to come over and give the order to launch a general attack."
Sun Xiaotian couldn't wait, his tone was full of excitement.
Qin Ze said calmly: "No hurry, I need to understand the specific situation here first."
Sun Xiaotian gradually calmed down and gave him a thumbs up in his heart.
This is called a professional.
In comparison, the people sent before were all rotten fish and shrimp.
Sun Xiaotian suggested: "The black shop is open now, let's go to the black shop to have a look?"
Qin Ze nodded: "Let's go to the black shop."
The group walked into the dark underground pipeline again.
Through indirect attacks, Qin Ze got a lot of useful information along the way.
It is now 2250. Compared with the real world, the timeline here is pushed back two hundred years.
"Dynasty" is a resistance organization active outside the city.
Advocating "natural human rights, AI will only destroy the world", it has been fighting against the mechanical faction led by the head of state for so many years.
It is said that there are dozens of cities like "Happy City".
But each city is similar.
The residents are kept in captivity, sent to designated places to "work" during the day, and sent back to their residences at night.
Every once in a while, some people with good work performance will be taken away for the so-called "mechanical ascension".
Those who successfully transformed become fighting machines and are deployed to the front line to fight against alien beasts.
Those who fail will disappear directly, physically disappearing.
Some peopleUnwilling to let their fate be arranged like this, they hid in the sewers and struggled to survive.
Due to the large scale of the city, the underground drainage system is complicated.
Although the sheriff will conduct a cleanup every once in a while, the survivors who live in three burrows can always avoid searches again and again.
Like mice, they take root and multiply here.
As for Sun Xiaotian, he is an extra-staff agent of "Dynasty".
Responsible for spreading the ideas of "Dynasty" and winning over the survivors.
One day, they will cooperate with the large forces outside the city to liberate the city together.
When Sun Xiaotian's radio was not broken, Wang Chao contacted him for the last time and told him an extremely important piece of information.
That is, the head of state will arrive in Xingfu City for inspection the day after tomorrow.
Wang Chao is preparing to carry out a decapitation operation on that day, and needs Sun Xiaotian to lead people to cooperate.
The sudden appearance of Qin Ze and the five kings turned Xingfu City upside down.
Sun Xiaotian mistakenly thought that they were the ones who carried out the decapitation operation.
"We've arrived at the black shop."
After another half an hour, Sun Xiaotian pointed to the faint light in the distance and said to Qin Ze and others.
"Black shop" does not refer to a store, but a trade market where multiple stalls are gathered together.
People living in underground pipes have no currency, and they usually barter.
Black shops open once every half a month on average.
The time and place of each opening are announced only three hours in advance, and the opening time is only one hour.
It can be said to be a "quick battle and quick decision".
The main purpose is to prevent being discovered and caught by the sheriff.
This black shop is located in an abandoned subway, and the space is much more spacious than the sewer.
At least three hundred meters away from the black shop, Qin Ze saw several people keeping watch.
Compared with Sun Xiaotian's kerosene lamp, many stalls here have battery-connected lights, but the brightness is not good.
"Fresh rat meat, trade it for rags."
"A moldy cigarette, any food will do."
"Two antibiotics, I need a gun."
"..."
Food, medicine, clothes, and even weapons can all be found in black shops.
Qin Ze took a quick look, and when he was about to leave, a dirty child suddenly bumped into his arms.
"Sorry!"
The child hurried away.
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows and sent a message to Qianmian: "Follow him and see."
Qianmian understood, walked into the dark pipe and transformed himself into a poor survivor.
Qin Ze reached into his pocket and took out the note the child had stuffed in.
After unfolding it, there were a few crooked small words on it.
"There is a traitor, terminate the operation."
