Chapter 178 Asuka's Original Combat Uniform
Xiao Yang and Tina came to a bustling open space, which was a trade market in a shanty town. It was time for the scavengers to go to the evening market.
Waste pickers spend most of the day picking up garbage to fill their stomachs. Only in the evening do they have time to gather together and exchange the garbage they pick up with each other.
The number of scavengers in shanty towns is no less than that of residents in the city, so a rather large evening market has formed.
In the open space on the side of the city wall, rows of simple sheds were placed with various strange items. They were lined up for hundreds of meters, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going.
The items here are very miscellaneous. Although most of the items traded are ordinary items, there are also a lot of garbage from the extraordinary world or the technological world. Many residents and evolvers in the city will also come here to hunt for treasures.
The market order in the shanty towns is very chaotic and requires great care.
The security team of Clark City does not care about this area at all, so there will be scenes of quarrels and fights from time to time, and armed fights between gangs often occur.
"It's been a long time since I visited a street stall like this."
Recently, Xiao Yang has been studying refining medicine to control fire, and he hasn't gone out much. Things like collecting garbage are usually done by Zhang Daqiang.
However, because he was unlucky today, he thought he might gain something from coming here, so he dropped by here for a walk.
"Sir, please buy something. The marrow inside the bones that have just been collected is still fresh."
"Sir, you see, this stone must be made of great material. It only costs 10 pounds of ghost mushrooms."
"grown ups......"
The vendors were promoting sales one after another, obviously treating the neatly dressed Xiao Yang and the two as fat sheep. There were even a few scantily clad women who came forward to solicit customers, but Tina drove them away.
It is worth mentioning that here, ghost mushrooms have gradually become the general equivalent.
The things on the stall were very miscellaneous, most of them were things Xiao Yang didn't recognize, but some of them knew their origins.
For example, there are a few earth-brown courier clothes with the words "Everywhere" printed on them, and a creature that looks like a deadpool among the dragons.
What made him want to complain the most was that he actually came across a set of Asuka's original combat uniform from the EVA world...
"Boss, why did you buy this strange dress? This is women's clothing..."
And it's still underdeveloped.
Tina blinked with a strange look on her face. Doesn’t our boss have any special hobbies?
"Ahem, you don't understand. This is a piece of clothing with high technological content and is of great research value..."
Xiao Yang's face turned red and he hesitated to explain.
Isn't he well prepared?
What if I pick up an artificial humanoid universal robot in the future?
The two walked and looked for a long time, but they didn't gain much.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of them, and several black men wearing black cloaks broke into view.
The leading man in black robe held a black iron ball high and shouted:
"The dark sun has fallen from the sky, and the divine way has been opened."
"All living beings are guilty, and there is no purity in this troubled world."
"I am burdened with holy bones, please forgive my dry bones."
"When I am reborn in the divine world, I will recite Allah."
"..."
Behind them, more than a dozen scavengers lined up in a long line, shouting the same words, kneeling on the ground every time they shouted, worshiping the black sphere in the hands of the man in black robe, looking crazy and pious.
"I didn't expect that the Black Sun Cult has penetrated here."
Xiao Yang looked at the scene in front of him calmly.
The slogans shouted by this group of people are the so-called holy commandments of the Black Sun Sect.
The strange behavior attracted a lot of comments from passers-by.
"Isn't this old Bush? I didn't expect that he would actually start to believe in the Black Sun Cult."
"Well, old Bush has been a little crazy since his son died a few days ago."
"Do you think it is really useful to believe in the Black Sun Religion? Recently, several scavengers around me have begun to talk about it. They will kneel down when they encounter a black hole, as if they are possessed by a demon."
"Who says it's not the case? Our mother-in-law also started reciting these ghost things, saying that she had seen the Lord and that the Lord would redeem her and let her be reincarnated in the Kingdom of God to enjoy blessings. Alas, she didn't even pick up the garbage."
"Huh, what a bullshit god, I think they are just a bunch of liars."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
A scavenger uttered arrogant words with disdain, and the people next to him quickly reminded him, but unfortunately it was already too late.
The procession suddenly stopped, and the priests and believers all turned their heads to look at the rude scavenger.
I saw a man in black robe holding a whip walking straight over.
"You...what do you want to do?"
There was a trace of panic in the scavenger's eyes, and he regretted his talk.
However, the man in black robe had no expression on his face, raised his black whip high, and said coldly.
"You should be punished if you speak harshly to the Lord!"
The long whip fell, and the scavenger let out a miserable scream. His skin and flesh were torn apart after being beaten, and his face looked extremely painful.
The whip holder was a powerful second-level evolver. After just a few whips, the scavenger fell to his knees and began to cry and beg for mercy.
"I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please, please let me go."
The scavengers kowtow desperately.
Immediately, the man in black robe holding the black ball walked up to him and murmured.
"O ignorant sinners, take refuge in our Lord and ask for His forgiveness."
A magical scene happened.
As soon as the man in black robe finished speaking, the scavenger's eyes went blank for a while, with an extremely shocked expression on his face, and he murmured into the air.
"I saw... the Lord... is really the Lord... no... don't... I am guilty... Allah, please forgive me... no... I don't want to die."
The scavenger howled wildly, and then fell to the ground as if the power was unplugged, but he was still looking at the sky with cracked eyes, and his dim pupils were full of bloodshot eyes.
He is already dead.
silence.
The crowd of onlookers did not dare to make the slightest sound. The sudden death of an evolved person was undoubtedly very deterrent.
"Oh, you ignorant sinner, it seems that the Lord has not forgiven you."
The man in black robe stepped over the corpse of the scavenger and continued to lead the crowd forward. The crowd of onlookers moved out of the way, while the high-pitched and crazy voice continued.
"The holy light shines on the moon, and the broken stars fall. Ignorant sinners, only then will you know that only by believing in our Lord can you gain liberation...miracles will come."
for a long time.
After they left, Tina stepped forward to check the scavenger's body out of habit, but unfortunately she didn't find any wounds.
"There is no need to check. He was killed from the inside. His spirit has been destroyed. This is a spiritual attack."
Xiao Yang pointed to his head.
With his strong mental power, as early as when the man in black robe took out the black ball, he noticed a strong mental wave coming out.
"That black ball doesn't seem to be an ordinary prop. It can actually send out spiritual attacks. It always feels a bit weird..."
Xiao Yang touched his chin.
"Boss, that black sun taught me a very bad feeling. It's best to be careful."
Tina is a scientist, so she naturally doesn't believe in this kind of strange power.
Religion is generally the skin of careerists.
"Hehe, don't worry, it's okay if the Black Sun Sect doesn't offend me. If they offend me, let them see what the arrival of the true god is."
Xiao Yang is still very confident about this.
