The Doctor In the Steampunk World - Chapter 5 The way of living

Simon put the suitcase on his back and put on a gray-black shabby trench coat, which slightly blocked the suitcase. Then he took out a 15- or 16-centimeter-long dagger from the house, tied the dagger around his waist, and went out satisfied.

When I came to Daddy Manning's restaurant, Daddy Manning was standing behind the counter and talking with a sturdy middle-aged black man.

Simon walked over, and the black middle-aged man greeted with a smile: "Dr. Simon, long time no see."

"Hello, Mr. York." Simon responded politely.

His name is York, and he came from the lower city. He used to be a gangster, but he was rescued by Father Manning, and then he worked under Father Manning. He has dealt with Simon's troublesome punks, and he is very good at it.

"Is Mr. York leading the way for me, then I'm relieved."

Father Manning looked at Simon: "Have you brought everything?"

Simon patted the suitcase under the trench coat: "It's complete, no problem."

"York will show you the way, and he will bring you back safely after the treatment." Father Manning nodded.

After York finished drinking the beer in his glass, he got up and said, "Let's go now before it gets dark."

Simon nodded, said hello to Father Manning, and followed York out of the restaurant.

York is a taciturn person, and Simon didn't know what to say. The two of them were speechless all the way, and soon they came to an extremely dilapidated housing area. Weeds grew on both sides of the road, and the courtyard was also overgrown with weeds, as if no one had been there for a long time. live.

There is a road sign in the state of a cross on the side of the road, and a skull and goat head is inserted on the top of the road sign.

The road sign pointed to the road ahead, with the words 'to hell' written in unknown blood.

There are many road signs written in various languages ​​next to the road signs. Some are warnings, and some are even billboards for gang recruitment.

This is the end of Hennington Street, and further down is downtown.

Occasionally, people from the dilapidated houses on both sides came out and watched furtively.

This housing area is adjacent to the Xiacheng District. There are often gangsters from the Xiacheng District who come to make trouble. The civilians in this area move away because of the disturbance, and no one dares to settle here. Over time, it has become a haven for homeless homeless people and addicts.

"Follow me, don't look around, just walk normally. I don't have to go to Xiacheng once or twice, just follow me at ease." York looked a little serious and turned back to warn Simon.

Simon nodded seriously and took a deep breath.

I am an extraordinary person, I have shadow ghosts, I am afraid of hair.

I kept cheering myself up in my heart.

The two walked forward in the direction of the sign for about a hundred meters, and the houses on both sides became lively. Simon saw a few children playing in a courtyard.

When the child saw Simon and the two, they scattered like a mouse seeing a cat, ran into the house, and closed the doors and windows tightly.

On the way, I also met a few idle youths, squatting in the corner, cigarettes in their mouths, beers in their hands, and their eyes swirling around Simon and Simon with malicious intent.

Simon clearly felt that there were more eyes on him.

Maybe it's because he looks easy to bully.

However, they seemed to be intimidated by the strong York, and just watched Simon leave.

On the way, I also met a few young people who were playing with a dying tramp.

"Don't meddle in your own business. There are so many things, you can't handle them. The homeless man looks like a drug addict, so it's not worth worrying about." York pulled Simon forward with a blank expression.

York took Simon into the housing area of ​​the lower city, and went back and forth in the alleys. The alleys here are even more dirty, sewage is everywhere, and he accidentally stepped on a pile of shit.

In the alley, I saw men and women kissing passionately, women who strayed to attract butterflies, quarreling, beating and scolding, and children playing lively... All kinds of strange things!

At the bend of an alley, York suddenly accelerated, passing a house in the meantime.

"Someone is following us, it should be from the Snake Fang Gang." York explained to Simon calmly.

"The people of the Sheya Gang are not fools. Knowing that the boss of the 13th Gang was shot, they must find a doctor. This area should be blocked by the people of the Sheya Gang, and there are special people watching the streets of Hennington."

"Since you know someone is watching, why do you come here so blatantly during the day?" Simon questioned.

"It will be more dangerous at night. The night in the lower city is hell. Homeless people, drug addicts, and gangsters roam the night like evil spirits. The probability of fatalities at night is dozens of times higher than during the day." York said seriously.

"And during this time, there are unclean things in the lower city, which is very dangerous." Lin York said this sentence.

Unclean things?

Simon was taken aback for a moment. The unclean thing in York's mouth was definitely not referring to people. Is it a pollution monster.

There has been a pollution monster incident before, and there are all kinds of people in this city. There are many people like Simon who pursue the mysterious side. Without professional help, it is easy to be contaminated by magic energy, Simon himself is an example.

Some people will mutate into monsters when they are seriously polluted by magic energy. There have been many similar incidents in the lower city and the outer city.

What impressed Simon most was that when he was a student at Victoria University, there was a pollution monster incident in the inner city. At that time, dozens of people died and there was a lot of trouble.

Simon pressed York, and York said he didn't know. I knew that there were a few homeless people in the off-court area who died miserably, their bodies seemed to have been bitten by some kind of animal.

He got the news that the bite marks on the corpse came from humans.

Is it a Death Eater with a special hobby or a pollution monster? No conclusion yet.

However, it can be seen from York's expression that he is more inclined to pollute monsters.

York didn't say any more, and continued to walk with Simon. The two interspersed in the streets and alleys and came to an even more outdated neighborhood.

It is dusk now, but the streets here are even darker.

York came to the door of a house and started knocking on the door. The knocking was very regular, it should be some kind of code.

The door opened, and a crack opened. A pair of vigilant eyes appeared first. The person in the door said, "Who are you looking for?"

"The flag of the Vikings led me here." York said softly.

This is Old Manning's code word, and this sentence represents Old Manning.

"come in."

The door opened, and York went in first, followed by Simon.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man of medium height, his face was dirty with traces of black soot. If it weren't for the fact that he was carrying a machete more than thirty centimeters long, Simon really believed that he was just an ordinary coal worker.

The middle-aged man glanced at Simon. Under York's instructions, Simon lifted his windbreaker to reveal the suitcase inside, and then opened the suitcase to reveal the medical supplies inside. The middle-aged man walked ahead and led the way.

The three passed through the dimly lit room, entered another alley from the back door, and asked them to wait here for a while. The middle-aged man walked into the darkness alone.

"It's too vigilant, it's like a spy war." Simon said speechlessly.

"In the end zone, you have to be more careful than others. If you can't play with others, you will be killed by others, especially those who are gangsters. Those who are not vigilant will die early." York said lightly.

Simon shrugged. He had just come to this world, and he had not really entered the world. He didn't know how to survive in this world.

About two minutes later, the middle-aged man came back and greeted the two of them to go forward. Taking the lead in entering a family's house, the door was immediately closed as soon as the two entered.

A dark muzzle pointed at the two of them.

Three people quickly walked out from behind the door and surrounded him. One of them held a gun, and the other two held a knife to Simon.

At this moment, Simon regretted a little.

This is too dangerous!

He almost called out a ghost, and seeing York raised his hands decisively, he immediately followed suit.
