Space-time Traveler Chapter 17: Polaris 4

Polaris.

When Su Ziyu came back here again, he almost couldn't recognize this camp.

"Dad. We are almost here!" The little girl's expression was a little excited, she stood up and pointed to the distant chimney and said: "There is the North Star factory."

The scale of this gathering place has expanded nearly five or six times.

Su Ziyu can see a wall made of reinforced concrete from a long distance away, and people who don't know think this is a military fortress. You can occasionally see a caravan of scavengers on the road, but the materials near the North Star are almost completely collected. It is estimated that you will have to go to far away places to scavenger. Many of these scavengers wear protective clothing. It is very likely. I want to go into the Southern Cross area.

It's an old world city, and you can still find a lot of supplies if you look for it carefully.

As the distance got closer and closer, the gate of the Polaris gradually appeared in front of you. It was a heavy iron gate, opened and closed by a motor, and guards with guns stood on the fence, all powered by an exoskeleton. Armor, the number is about seven or eight.

But none of these people wear helmets, so they should feel a little bored.

"Dad..." The little girl who was standing up happily was taken aback for a moment, and then shrank to Su Ziyu's ear and whispered: "I don't know those people above."

Don’t know?

The little girl grew up in Polaris, so he should be very familiar with the people here.

Did something happen to Polaris?

Su Ziyu reached out and touched her little head, and whispered: "Don't act rashly. Let's go in first and talk about it."

The guards let them go with just a glance.

Su Ziyu noticed a wolf head logo on their exoskeleton power armor, and the residents in the camp looked at them with a trace of disgust and fear. The entire North Star road has been rebuilt, and the outer area has also been re-planned, but the inner area where the battle was originally still exists, and Su Ziyu can see the inner wall as soon as it comes in.

Twelve years have passed.

There are still some traces of the explosion left by the battle with the super deformed body.

Su Ziyu put a coat on the little girl, and then took her straight to the hotel. Now he is quite unfamiliar with the North Star, and he can hardly see any familiar faces. However, there are more civilians dressed as workers than before. There are currently about five factories in the North Star, which are involved in food processing, weapon manufacturing, water purification, and so on.

The owner of the hotel is a white man. When Su Ziyu checked in, he looked at the two little girls behind him curiously, and then threw a key over and said: "10 bottle caps a day."

The little girl was sent to the college to study knowledge when she was nine years old. Many people here don't know her.

And the child grows up very quickly, now she is much taller than before.

In the room.

Su Ziyu stood at the window and looked outside. He could see some guards patrolling with guns. The situation in the inner city is not very clear. At the beginning, it was a military fortress, and you can't see the situation from here. .

"Good girl. Tell me about the North Star." Su Ziyu sat down and said softly.

First figure out the situation before deciding what to do next.

Polaris seems to have changed hands.

Pasha has been missing for such a long time, according to the urine of the wasteland world, it is estimated that there have been careerists waiting to replace it.

The little girl thought for a while, and quickly came up with what she knew.

However, she is still too young, and she has been away from Polaris for a while, and she talks about irrelevant things. At the beginning, Pasha did not let her leave the inner city, mainly because she was afraid of exposure to radiation pollution sources. . But what surprised Su Ziyu was that he heard two familiar names from the little girl's mouth.

Bill and Zoe.

Bill was the leader of the scavengers. He seemed to have a certain relationship with the brothers. After killing the super distortion body, he stayed to help Pasha rebuild the North Star.

Zoe is the woman who entered the Southern Cross with Su Ziyu and others.

Unidentified.

She mysteriously disappeared after taking away a high-end bionic arm.

But in the mouth of the little girl, she is called Aunt Zoe, who seems to be the technical consultant of Polaris. She doesn't usually stay at Polaris, but she comes to see her every year.

Su Ziyu quickly found a breakthrough. He thought for a while and ordered: "You two stay in the hotel."

"I'll find out about old Bill."

Old Bill's current status seems to be marginalized. His current status is the captain of the militia. He is mainly in charge of the militias in the outer city. They belong to people with small rights but no right to speak.

"Yeah. Dad be careful." The little girl nodded.

Su Ziyu smiled and touched her little head and said: "It's okay. I'll pay attention to it. Peace of mind wait for me to come back."

After speaking, he walked directly out of the hotel.

Twelve years have passed.

Everything in the North Star is very strange, but the garbage mountain on the side of the slum is still there, and it seems that there is no energy to clean it, and it is directly surrounded by a wall. Su Ziyu quickly found a man dressed as a militiaman. He was leaning against the corner of the wall and smoking a cigarette bored, looking like he was doing nothing. These militiamen were supposed to maintain daily law and order, but now they seem to have been taken over by others.

——"Strengthen the spiritual hint!"

8 point source power is consumed.

Su Ziyu walked over directly, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and directly asked: "Where is Old Bill?"

Mind hint is a pre-strengthening ability.

Whether there is an effect depends mainly on the strength of the target's will and the psychic strength of the surzi fish. Its effect is roughly similar to that of hypnosis and charm spells, but it does not need to be prepared in advance and can be launched directly towards the target. If Su Ziyu is strengthened all the way, he can still master the legendary mind reading technique, but this ability is of little use against monsters, and is mainly used for daily intelligence gathering.

"Who are you?..." The militiaman in front of him suddenly lost his energy, and then the cigarette **** in his hand fell to the ground, his expression was a little sluggish and said: "The old man is at the tavern in the red light district."

It seems to be too hard.

The spirit of Su Ziyu pierced through a thin film and actually touched the opponent's consciousness directly. In this case, let alone asking questions, he could directly control the opponent's mind.

This ability is so easy to use?

"Pick up the cigarette butts." Su Ziyu whispered.

"Oh." The militiaman in front of him did the same without hesitation, squatting down and picking up the cigarette butt, his expression still a bit dazed.

Su Ziyu turned and left.

After he walked out for a while, the militiaman seemed to woke up, and threw away the cigarette **** that was burning to his fingers, with a confused expression: "Why did I suddenly feel in a daze?"

"Did someone talk to me just now?"

"Why don't you have any impression?"

The branch application of the mind system enhancement seems to be concentrated in the field of control. The female warlocks also master some charm-type spells, but they are not as overbearing as Su Ziyu. He feels that if he wants to, he can directly control a person's thoughts and behaviors, but it is estimated to be expensive to do so, and the probability of failing for a strong-willed person is higher.

Red light district?

Su Ziyu looked around and saw some women in cool clothes, and then he found a tavern, but he just opened the door to enter, he couldn't help but lower his head slightly to avoid the woman's gaze on the bar.

He has an impression of this woman.

Can't remember the name.

The last time I came to Polaris, a thief stole something from him. After being caught, the woman said to interrupt the thief's hand, but finally let it go. When the North Star was in chaos, she and her gunman were trapped in the bar. The final result is not very clear. They probably weren't dead at the time.

The appearance of this woman is much older than before.

The face looks like she is in her thirties, but she is very charming. Su Ziyu remembers that one of her arms is missing, but now the two white and slender arms are there. It is very likely that she has gone. Bionic transformation.

A glance.

Su Ziyu saw old Bill.

His changes are not great, but he looks a lot older. At that time, Bill was estimated to be in his forties, but now he should be around 55. His body is fatter than before. There is no such sturdy momentum at the beginning.

Old Bill was sitting alone in a corner drinking alcohol, and there were two women with heavy makeup next to him.

But he didn't pay any attention, just staring at the crowd dimly.

That's right.

Old Bill's son is dead.

It was the little boy who picked up the cigarette butts from the ground and smoked. Even if he was protected by Old Bill, he died many years ago. Since then, Old Bill seems to have lost his passion for power. .

Su Ziyu picked up a prostitute and sat across from Old Bill.

"Who the **** to disturb Lao Tzu drinking..." Before the prostitute had an attack, the old Bill couldn't help but put his hand on his waist, as if he was about to take a gun out, but he was fat. The body is not flexible, and he even turns around a bit slow.

But in the next second, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person was stunned in place, muttering: "It's you?...No...it's impossible..."

Old Bill looked incredible.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, and he waved the two prostitutes to get rid of him, lowered his voice and said: "Why are you back? We all thought you were already dead!"

"You...you didn't look old at all..."

The changes in the scorpionfish are very small.

If yes, it is that the initial clothes were a little smaller, his height seems to have increased a bit, his body shape has not changed much, but his weight has increased to about 90 kilograms. The whole person looks a little leaner than then, but the weight has increased by a full 25 kilograms.

"After Pasha disappeared, what happened to Polaris?" Su Ziyu stared at old Bill's eyes and said in a deep voice.

Old Bill looked around carefully, his expression seemed a little excited, and he whispered: "This is not a place to talk. Come with me and go to my residence."

After speaking, he stood up directly.

Su Ziyu followed closely, but when the two people left, the charming woman on the bar frowned slightly while looking at his back, and murmured: "Who is that man? How come you look a little bit Familiar?"

In the first battle of the Super Aberration, Su Ziyu left a deep impression on all survivors.

If it hadn't been twelve years, I guess she would be able to recognize it.

"You are not even old..." Old Bill lived in a remote place, but the house was not small. He looked back at Su Ziyu and said in disbelief: "Are you a bionic? At that time you were already Accepted the bionic transformation?"

Su Ziyu did not answer his question, but directly said: "These are not important."

"Tell me first what happened here."

Old Bill moved his fat body and poured himself a glass of wine. He took a sip and said, "Would you like to have some? By the way. You don't like drinking very much."

"It's a member of the wolf gang."

"After Pasha disappeared, they bought many people. I had advised her not to go, but Pasha didn’t listen at all. She also took away the core combatants in the camp, and the entire exoskeleton armored formation was missing. Now, we are unable to resist the invasion of the wolf gang at all."

As if thinking of something, Old Bill looked at Su Ziyu and said: "Right. You already have a lovely daughter."

"You don't know yet, do you?"

There is no change in Su Ziyu's expression.

"Could it be..." Old Bill's reaction was quick and he immediately whispered: "Sakura is with you? Did you meet her? Did you come back because of her?"

Su Ziyu stood up, looked at old Bill's eyes, and slowly said: "I want to get the North Star back."

"Would you like to help me?"

Old Bill's expression was stunned, then hesitated, and said in a low voice: "They have hundreds of gunners and a lot of exoskeleton armor. Behind the wolf gang seems to be supported by the faction of the academy. It depends on you. A person is not their opponent at all."

Su Ziyu didn't speak, but looked at old Bill quietly.

"Right. You are a sharpshooter." Old Bill smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "You can kill even super aberrations. These people don't think you are paying attention."

"I can help."

"However, the militias are poorly equipped, and only a few dozen people will listen to my orders."

"Want to solve them."

"We need stronger helpers."

Su Ziyu put on a listening appearance, and slowly said: "Do you have any suggestions?"

Old Bill's expression gradually became excited, he said solemnly: "Brotherhood."

"If you can convince them."

"It is not difficult to regain the North Star. The Brotherhood has a branch nearby. It is no problem to mobilize at least one or two hundred gunmen."

"And Zoe."

Old Bill hesitated and said: "She is from the academy. But she seems to belong to another academy faction. The last time I saw her come here with some bionics. If she can help, she must be foolproof. "

"You don't need so many people." Su Ziyu pondered for a moment and said: "It should be fine if there is a brotherhood to help."

"Do you have their contact information?"

"I will find them."

The Brotherhood still owes him a favor. All the information brought by the Southern Cross was handed over to the Brotherhood. If they say what they say, there shouldn't be any problem in helping him this time.

"Yes. Come with me." Old Bill nodded.
