Colonial Suit

Vika was a small city built against a mountain. It didn't seem large, but the flow of people was extremely busy. Moreover, many trade markets were built around the city, making it seem particularly prosperous. However, Vika's most striking feature was not this prosperous scene, but the solid fortress that everyone entering Vika could see at a glance.

This fortress was on the mountain wall behind Vika, only revealing a corner, but revealing the color of steel. What was most shocking was that there was a huge crater on the side of the mountain wall of this fortress, which looked like it was caused by the bombardment of an ultra-caliber cannon in the old era. Half of the mountain wall was collapsed by this crater, but the main body of the fortress was completely unharmed, which showed how strong this fortress was.

In fact, this fortress was also very famous in the old era. It was a military fortress called K7, originally built to deal with a possible nuclear war. But tragically, the nuclear war broke out before it was completed. The incomplete K7 could only be reduced to a third-rate shelter.

However, after entering the new era, Lord Koster occupied this place and re-improved it with amazing financial resources, and eventually made it his residence.

It was evening when the caravan entered Vika. The traffic was extremely busy. Looking around, there were congested vehicles everywhere at the city gate. Many people who looked like caravan leaders were talking to the guards at the gate, but the guards ignored them. It was not until those caravan leaders took out some things and put them in the hands of the guards that they were released. Seeing the miserable faces of these caravan leaders, Blood瞳 said to Lance, "A friend once told me that she wanted to send her younger brother to Karlster because it was like heaven. But now it seems that this statement is not realistic. Nowhere is heaven."

"Your statement is a bit extreme." Because Lance had been in contact with Blood瞳 for a while, he had figured out Blood瞳's temper. He didn't speak as restrained as he used to. "Whether it is heaven or not depends on how they live. Although these caravan leaders are extorted by the guards, entering Vika is a kind of happiness. Here they will find pollution-free clean water and food, which is almost impossible to see outside. Vika attracts tens of thousands of people to trade here every day. They can also use these customers to create wealth. Isn't this what they want to get?"

Blood瞳 was silent for a while and then said, "Maybe you are right. But tell me, if your subordinates are like these guards, what would you do?"

"I would hang them all. The most cruel kind." Lance replied without hesitation. Then he said to a subordinate, "Go, tell them to move the roadblocks away for me. Damn it, I don't have time to play bribery games with them. You tell them that if they don't get out of the way for me immediately, I will complain about them to Lord Koster and make their good life a thing of the past."

"Yes!" The subordinate replied respectfully, and then immediately ran over to scold the guards.

It was strange to say that the guards, who had just been picky about the ordinary caravan leaders, seemed extremely cautious when they saw Lance's subordinates. First, they carefully checked the other party's caravan badge, and then obediently accepted the other party's scolding, and then ran away with their tails between their legs to remove the roadblocks, looking even more well-behaved than Lance's subordinates. This made Blood瞳 look at him with admiration.

"It seems that you are doing well here."

"That's for sure. I am one of the few merchants in Vika who can directly meet Lord Koster without reporting. These guys are naturally afraid of me. Otherwise, if I just say a word, they may have to go to the sewer to sweep garbage. That kind of work is enough to make them thin into dried people within a month." Lance replied triumphantly, and looked at Blood瞳 with a sense of superiority. "The benefits of this power are good, right? It is said that in a certain country in the old era, it was even more exaggerated. The officials there said whatever they wanted to the civilians. The civilians had to listen obediently. Because even if they said a wrong word, they might be retaliated against by the officials. Have you heard of cross-province? I have never understood the meaning of this word. What is a province?"

"Maybe it's some kind of food." Blood瞳 replied matter-of-factly.

"Okay. You are right. Although I don't think it should be so simple. Okay, those damn guys finally know how to move the roadblocks away. Let's go in."

"Okay."

Under the surprised eyes of many caravan teams, Lance's caravan swaggered through the crowd and was the first to pass the checkpoint. Several caravan leaders were immediately very dissatisfied and wanted to ask the guards they had just bribed for an explanation, but they did not expect that the guards looked at them with extremely disdainful eyes and said mockingly.

"Are you talking about Lord Lance's caravan? Cut, do you know who Lord Lance is? He is the leader of the largest caravan here, bringing unimaginable precious goods to Vika City every year. And he is also a close friend of Lord Koster. Do you think you can compare with him? Are you looking for death? Damn bastard, give me two more gold Vika, otherwise don't even think about entering this door today!"

The caravan leaders immediately nodded and bowed, and were reluctantly extorted again. But they all remembered the name of Lance's caravan in their hearts, and vowed to become a large caravan like Lance's caravan one day, so that they could swagger into any big city and be received by the lord.

Blood瞳 and Lance certainly didn't know what happened behind them. At this moment, they were walking on the main road of Vika City, followed by several caravan guards holding rifles. Originally, it was not allowed to carry weapons on the street in Vika, but Lance, who had a special status, was obviously not an exception. Because he was anxious to report the discovery to the lord, Lance handed over all the caravan transactions to his deputy, and he took Blood瞳 to the lord's residence in a hurry.

The so-called lord's mansion is actually the fortress in the mountain wall. Lord Koster moved in after renovating it. However, due to technical limitations and funding problems, he only renovated one-fifth of the fortress. Most areas are still unusable. But even so, this fortress is still one of the most solid residences in the apocalypse. It is estimated that even if another nuclear bomb falls on its head, nothing will happen.

There is only one road in Vika City that leads to the fortress. Blood瞳 and others are walking on this road.

After only a few minutes, the gate of the fortress appeared in front of them. But they could no longer move forward. Several lord's guards stopped them.

"Stop, you are not allowed to go any further. The front is the lord's mansion. Show your documents or confirm the lord's invitation, otherwise it will be regarded as trespassing on private territory, and we have the right to kill you."

Blood瞳's eyes narrowed, and he coldly looked at the guards who suddenly appeared.

They were obviously much more capable than the guards seen at the city gate. Not only were they stronger, but they were also more disciplined. Several people seemed to be blocking them casually, but they occupied the best shooting angles without a trace. They were obviously well trained. The equipment of these guards was also extremely sophisticated. Everyone was wearing ceramic combat suits that only high-level hunters would equip, and the assault rifles in their hands were also top-notch. At a glance, you could feel their powerful combat effectiveness.

Perhaps it was because Blood瞳's gaze was too aggressive, these guards immediately noticed Blood瞳's unkindness and showed surprised expressions. Then they adjusted their positions and surrounded Blood瞳 in the middle without a trace. The rifles in their hands were vaguely aimed at Blood瞳's vitals.

"Stop!" Lance immediately shouted. Then he looked at the guards with dissatisfaction. "Lower your guns, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety. A bunch of idiots, I really wonder how Lord Koster chose you to be guards. You don't even have a bit of self-awareness. Do you want to bring a troublesome enemy to the lord?"

"Who are you?" The guard did not immediately lower his gun, but his tone softened. They all knew that the person who could talk to them like this must be extraordinary, so they did not immediately turn their faces.

Lance glanced at them disdainfully and threw a badge over. "Are you new here? Otherwise, how could you not even recognize me?"

The badge shone brightly in the sun, and the faces of several guards suddenly changed. They quickly lowered their guns and saluted Lance. "Sorry, Lord Lance, we are indeed new here and don't know it's you."

"Get out of here." Lance waved his hand impatiently. "I want to see Lord Koster immediately. Help me report it immediately."

"Yes!" The guard replied loudly, and then secretly glanced at Blood瞳. "This one..."

"You don't have to worry about it. I know you need to be responsible for the lord's safety, but I still have the authority to bring people in. That shouldn't be wrong, right? In addition, if you have any questions, you can also ask the lord for instructions."

"Understood." The guard immediately stopped arguing and hurried to the guardhouse not far away. After a while, he quickly ran back and saluted Lance respectfully.

"Lord, please come in, um, and your companion."

"Um." Lance nodded with satisfaction. Then he said to Blood瞳, "These newcomers don't know the rules, don't mind."

"Don't worry, I'm not that petty." Blood瞳 replied with a smile.

The group followed the path towards the fortress and soon entered the interior of the fortress. Speaking of which, this fortress is indeed a product of the old era. Even if it is transformed into a lord's mansion, it still retains the color of a military base. Both sides of the passage are cast with solid concrete. Occasionally, you can see hidden shooting holes. Moreover, on both sides of the ceiling of the passage, you can also see two slide rails with several automatic machine guns hanging on them.

Finally going to see him... Blood瞳 quietly looked at this heavily guarded castle, his heart surging.

Can I really find Lier's whereabouts here?
