Chapter 944: Water From the North Flows to the South (First Update, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

Xia Chujian watched the man blend into the group of young people, turning his head and looking around.

Then he walked to a young man, suddenly raised his hand and fixed his head, as if he was carefully looking at the young man's appearance.

He looked at the appearance of each of these young people like puppets, and then seemed to be talking to them.

But none of them responded to him.

The tall man came back to his senses when he was about to reach the end of the team of young people.

But just like this, he seemed to be noticed by some observation system in the barracks.

A sharp alarm sounded suddenly from the air in the North District Barracks.

Teams of robot soldiers with metal skin texture, lined up in neat rows, appeared from all directions and surrounded them.

The tall black-clothed masked man suddenly rushed out of the team of young people who were expressionless like clay sculptures and wooden sculptures, and ran to the back of the barracks.

He came out from the back of the barracks.

But in the blink of an eye, a neat team of robots appeared behind the barracks.

Each of them showed up from the darkness, holding a gun.

Seeing that they were about to open fire, Xia Chujian no longer hesitated.

She showed the figure of the Phoenix Mech in mid-air, and sprayed hot flames at several far-infrared detection devices that Qi Lu had found out!

That was the flamethrower switched out by the mech, and the temperature was very high. Ordinary alloys could not withstand such high temperature.

Xia Chujian only sprayed once, and destroyed a large area of ​​far-infrared detection scanning systems nearby.

She then entered the stealth state again, quickly left the previous coordinate position, and came to the corresponding position on the other side.

The robot soldiers on the ground were suddenly in chaos.

Some raised their guns to shoot, some climbed over the walls, and some even suddenly fought with their comrades around them.

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched as she watched, and she suspected that she had just broken the central control system here...

The black-clad masked man on the ground who was almost shot to death just now also took the opportunity to blend into the thick night in the chaos and disappeared.

Only the team of young people in black vests and shorts still lined up neatly, and in the midst of flames and chaos, they entered another barracks as if no one was around.

After they entered, they never came out again.

Xia Chujian was still invisible in mid-air and observed.

She waited for two hours before the noise in the North District barracks subsided.

The robot soldiers with metal skin texture also put away their guns and returned to the barracks, leaving behind a mess of robot soldiers.

Xia Chujian saw the situation in the barracks, and now she could roughly know how many robot soldiers were accommodated in a barracks.

From the number of people, she guessed that these robot soldiers were really similar to human soldiers, and they all had their own beds.

This time, Xia Chujian waited until the sky was covered with dark clouds and a heavy rain was about to pour down before she quickly flew back to her small shop.

She swooped in through the window and returned to her room on the second floor.

She went to the small bathroom to put away the Shao Siming mecha and the shockproof inner armor, changed her clothes and came out. It was raining heavily outside.

Thunder roared, heavy rain poured, and big drops of rain floated in from the half-open window.

Xia Chujian hurriedly closed the window.

She sat by the window, watching the heavy rain outside, and her eyes still looked at the location of the military camp in the north from time to time.

What's the matter with those young people?

Is that tall masked man in black Qin Wanglan?

What is he doing among those young people?

Why did he open their heads and look at them carefully one by one?

Does he know them?

Or is he, like her, also curious about those young people who seem to be born from the same mother?

Xia Chujian has countless question marks in her mind, but she can't get the answers.

She really wants to go in and take a look.

She couldn't just wander around in the airspace nearby.

But how could she get in?

Xia Chujian was exhausted from thinking and finally fell into a deep sleep.

...

At eight o'clock the next day, Xia Chujian came to the first floor to prepare the food she was going to make today.

It was still raining outside, and visible streams of water had begun to appear on the street in front of the door.

Fortunately, her small shop was located in the northeast of the West District, and was also separated from the central area by one street.

Across the street was the Legion Command Center of the Royal City.

Further southeast was the Sky-supporting Black Tower.

This location was relatively high in the entire Royal City.

The rain would flow out from the direction of the military camp in the North District and run through the entire Royal City.

Xia Chujian was not worried about flooding in her shop, but was worried about whether those people would come to pick up the food in today's weather.

The other party had paid, but if the other party did not come to pick up the food, would what she made today be considered the other party's?

Xia Chujian hesitated, but still went to the first floor to make 50 bowls of noodle dumpling soup and 50 bowls of wide noodles.

As expected, with such heavy rain, the number of people who came to pick up food today was only about half of the usual number.

At noon, when Xia Chujian usually closed the store, there were still about 20 bowls of noodle dumpling soup and 30 bowls of wide noodles that no one had taken away.

Including the commander of the Royal City Army, Qin Wanglan.

Usually, his robot soldiers came to pick up the food, but today, no one came.

Xia Chujian looked at the rain outside and felt that it was not as heavy as in the morning, so he opened the shop and planned to sell the remaining noodle soup and wide noodles.

The shop door was opened, the pot lid was lifted, and the wheat aroma of noodles and fish mixed with the fresh aroma of black pork juice immediately followed the drizzle and drifted on the food street.

The restaurants opposite and next to Xia Chujian were also open, but there were few diners.

Now Xia Chujian's Xiaoxin Food Store was finally open for business. In the past, those diners who had not ordered meals came in droves when they smelled the smell.

One by one, they came to Xiaoxin Food Store to line up with soup bowls, umbrellas, or raincoats.

The terrain on Xia Chujian's side of the shop was high, so the rain had not accumulated yet.

But the diners were in those low-lying areas. The rainwater on the street had accumulated to the height of the calf and began to flow back into the shops on both sides of the street.

These diners talked about the heavy rain today while waiting in line to buy breakfast.

Xia Chujian remained silent, maintaining her "mute" persona, and only lowered her head to sell her noodles.

There were not many left, and she estimated that there were only ten bowls of fish soup noodles left, so she covered the pot and gestured to everyone to close the door.

The remaining few who had been queuing for a long time but didn't buy anything could not help but sigh, and even begged "Boss Hua" to sell a few more bowls.

Xia Chujian hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the weather was so bad today, these people still came to buy her noodles, and she couldn't bear it.

So she scooped a bowl of fish soup noodles for each of the remaining three people.

Fish soup noodles cost 150 Xijuan coins per bowl, which is actually very expensive.

But for those who like to eat, I like it more than money can buy.

So everyone was happy.

After the remaining three people left, Xia Chujian closed the store neatly.

Then she started to pack wide noodles for Qin Wanglan.

She didn't have so many bowls to begin with, and couldn't divide them into ten small bowls.

So she used a large soup bowl to put the remaining fish soup in, and then put the wide noodles into a separate wide plate and put it into a bamboo basket.

This was made by her when she was in the Forbidden Forest, using the finest Emperor Jun bamboo.

She planned to go to the Royal City Legion Command Center once and personally deliver fish soup noodles to Qin Wanglan.

When she came out of the store with her bamboo basket, she suddenly found that the rain on the street was a little strange.

The rain was no longer a dim and turbid color, but with a little red, or blood...

Xia Chujian's heart moved, and she stood at the door without going out.

After a while, the blood in the rain became more and more, like the blood of the slaughtered animals in a large slaughterhouse, which was poured into the gully and mixed with the rain.

Look at the direction where the rainwater flows, it is exactly north.

Where the North District military camp is located.

The terrain of the entire Royal City is high in the north and low in the south, and the east and west sides are on an inclined slope.

The water in the North District flows to the south.

The southern area of ​​the royal city is not land, but a huge lake.

Xia Chujian felt a little frightened, but thinking of what she saw today, she decided to go to the Royal City Army Command Center.

It happened that there was a ready-made reason today, and she could also go to Qin Wanglan to win a wave of favor.

Xia Chujian carried a bamboo basket and walked a short distance north along the street sidewalk, and came to a side door of the Royal City Army Command Center.

She knocked on the door.

After a while, the side door opened, and a robot soldier with metallic skin appeared in front of Xia Chujian.

It was a sentry standing guard here. Every day, Xia Chujian could be seen selling noodles at Xiaoxin Food Store, so he was considered an acquaintance.

It also smiled at Xia Chujian and said politely: "Boss Hua, what can I do for you?"

Xia Chujian wrote on the small whiteboard: I am here to deliver the meal ordered by the commander Qin. He did not send his guards to pick up the meal today.

The robot soldier said, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask."

It seems that it can't let outsiders into the Wangcheng Army Command Center.

Qin Wanglan was in the meeting room of the Wangcheng Army Command Center at this time, meeting with his subordinates.

They have been meeting since five in the morning.

The meeting room was filled with smoke, and everyone had dark circles under their eyes and a green stubble shadow on their jaws.

It was obvious that the people in the meeting room were all officers, real humans, not humanoid robots.

Qin Wanglan rubbed his forehead with his hand and frowned, saying, "What's going on in the North District Military Camp?"

"Aren't there only... mechanical soldiers there?"

"Why is there so much blood... flowing out?"

Several officers looked at each other and dared not speak.

Not long after, a guard knocked on the door and said to Qin Wanglan, "Captain of the Army, Mr. Hua from Xiaoxin Food Store has personally delivered your meal."

Qin Wanglan then remembered that the mechanical guard who helped him pick up meals every day had "died in the line of duty" in the morning riot.
