Two Cities: I am building a mecha in Pi City

In the deserted alley, the footsteps of Li Lin and Caitlin echoed in the distance.

"I really didn't expect you to be able to bargain." Caitlin had a smile on her delicate face. "I thought you would be like Jess. No matter how expensive things are, they all have a fixed price."

"This involves a matter of personal principles." Li Lin responded slowly, "Even if there is financial sponsorship, I don't like to be taken advantage of."

"I didn't expect you to be quite diligent and thrifty." Caitlin's eyes sparkled, "By the way, are we going back today?"

"What, you still want to hang around here more? Do you think you haven't breathed in enough haze?"

Caitlin gave Li Lin a coquettish look, "It's still early, and it's a rare time to come here. Can't you let me see more of the city?"

There's nothing good to see in Zu'an. It's better to go back up there and go shopping.

He was right in his mind, so Li Lin silently glanced at the watch on his wrist to confirm the time.

It's now around 4pm. If we only travel for half an hour, we should be able to get back by 6pm.

"Okay, but I can only stay for half an hour. If I go back too late and Mrs. Karina finds out, she will blame me..." Li Lin sighed.

But as soon as he raised his head, he found that Caitlin in front of him had stopped and looked at the surrounding environment from time to time.

"If you want to go shopping, it's not like you're going to go shopping in this alley with nothing... at least go to the street."

"It's too quiet." Caitlin said suddenly.

"What's so quiet? There's no one here, quiet isn't what it should be..."

"Shh." Caitlin reached out and covered Li Lin's mouth, making a gesture of silence.

Then, she observed the surroundings with vigilant eyes, and at the same time she pricked up her ears and tried to search for any incongruous sounds around her.

Caitlin lowered her voice: "This is the same alley we took when we came here. I remember clearly that there should be two homeless people sleeping there."

"What does this mean?" Li Lin didn't know. "Maybe he woke up and went to pick up rags elsewhere."

She shook her head, pointed to the dry mat next to the trash can on the wall, and then looked at the closed windows of each house on the high wall.

"Not only that, the alchemy lights in the surrounding houses were all out. However, when we came here, we could still hear voices inside, but now they are gone.

"If it was just a simple family like this, I wouldn't suspect anything, but everyone in this alley is like this, it's so weird..."

Li Lin frowned and became wary, "You mean, someone has planned to rob us and has cleared the place in advance?"

"maybe."

Caitlin would not scare people for no reason, and Li Lin also trusted her "hunter's intuition" that she had trained in hunting for a long time.

Since she said that, she must have a point.

What's more, this is the territory of Zu'an, so it is normal for robberies to occur.

Although he and Caitlin deliberately dressed up to look like ordinary citizens, no matter what, their temperaments looked very extraordinary, and it was not incomprehensible for them to be targeted by gangsters.

Caitlin pulled Li Lin close to the wall, "We are showing the enemy secretly, and we don't know if the other party has a gun... Damn it, I should have known he would have brought my Mauser rifle!"

gun?

You should have told me earlier, I have it too.

Li Lin took out the Hextech revolver that had been prepared from his waist.

But on second thought, he handed it to Caitlin.

Li Lin considers himself not a show-off person. He knows that he has not received training in using firearms, so it is not certain whether he can hit someone.

Instead of keeping this gun here, it would be better to give it to Caitlin, who deals with firearms every day, so that it can at least be used to its maximum effect.

"This is...you actually have a gun?"

Caitlin was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and reached out to take the strange-looking revolver.

"It can fire magic bullets, causing a range of shock waves." Li Lin quickly explained, "But there are only three bullets, use them sparingly... By the way, there is a 1 second delay in firing bullets, please pay attention."

"Magic? Launch delay? Are you kidding...Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on this." Caitlin obviously did not take his words seriously, "Three bullets should be enough."

Most of Zaun's alleys are long, narrow and intricate.

They were now in the middle of this alley. If they wanted to get to a crowded street, they would have to turn at least two corners and walk hundreds of meters.

This has led to the very embarrassing situation they are currently in. They are in a dilemma.

"These guys who have ideas about us should be hiding in a room above." Caitlin quickly analyzed the situation, but at the same time felt puzzled, "But if it is a robbery, is it necessary to spend so much time?"

Unless... these guys have a special purpose.

Thinking of this, Caitlin glanced at Li Lin beside her and felt a shiver in her heart.

Could it be that they are here for me? !

Even though Karina Giraman is the powerful councilor in Piltover, there are still many families that are hostile to the Giraman family.

Although most of them only have conflicts of interest, due to the reputation of Congressman Gila Mann, they usually dare not say anything more.

However, these are only on the surface...

Which family is so bold as to touch the daughter of a congressman? !

"These guys may not be robbers." Caitlin bit her bloodless lower lip, "I'm sorry, it's me who has caused trouble for you today."

"???" Li Lin felt confused, "Why are you involved..."

He had just uttered a few words when he heard a window not far above being pushed open violently, and a long black metal pipe protruded from it.

Caitlin glanced out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but gasp, "Be careful! The other party has a gun!"

But the reaction speed of an ordinary person is destined to be inferior to that of a thermal weapon.

As a flash of orange fire suddenly appeared, a deafening echo came from the alley.

--boom!

Suddenly, a cold numbness came from Li Lin's shoulders, followed by an unbearable biting burning sensation, which reached his brain through the nerves.

At the same time, the system’s beep sounded crazily in the back of his mind:

[HP: 322/585]

[Personal status: shot, blood loss]

[Effect: Loss of 20 HP per minute]

I... was shot? !

Li Lin has not yet recovered from the shock.

"Hide behind the trash can!"

Before the opponent's second shot was fired, Caitlin quickly pulled Li Lin to squat down and cursed eagerly: "Damn guy, he can even use such a dirty trick as a sneak attack!"

It’s simply a lack of martial ethics!

Her eyes were red, and there was a layer of mist in her blue eyes. She looked back at Li Lin very worriedly: "Hurry and press your wound and don't let go. Too much blood loss will make you go into shock!"

As she said that, she tore off a piece of clean cloth from the hem of her clothes and quickly wrapped it around his shoulders a few times as an emergency.

Li Lin gritted his teeth and tried not to scream. A layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Fortunately, after Caitlin simply bandaged up, the rate of health loss on the system panel temporarily dropped from 20 points to 12 points per minute.

But procrastinating like this is not the answer. He still needs timely treatment.

"Miss Gila Mann, I advise you to stop struggling. You can't escape our grasp." A dull and hoarse male voice came from the direction where Li Lin had just been shot.

At the same time as the sound sounded, several figures appeared on the other side of the alley.

Perhaps knowing that Caitlin had a weapon, they all hid behind the bunker and did not dare to reveal themselves.

Calm down, the more you need to calm down at this time... These people only have one gun, and the advantage is mine.

Caitlin took a few quick deep breaths to calm down her nervous mood, and at the same time snorted coldly: "Huh! How can I let you send so many people to catch me?"

As she spoke, she concentrated again, trying to determine the other party's location through voice recognition.

But the man was obviously prepared. He didn't give her this chance at all and chose to remain silent.

"Miss Gila Mann, our mission is to keep you alive, but the employer did not say that you must be intact..."

"If you put down your weapons and follow us now, maybe you will suffer less physical pain?"

shouted some man from the other side of the alley.

Damn it!

This makes it impossible to determine the location of the person holding the gun!

Just when Caitlin was at a loss as to what to do, the pale Li Lin endured the severe pain and stuttered:

"Do you still remember the general location of that person just now?"

She nodded subconsciously, "I can only determine a rough range..."

"Can it be accurate to within 3 meters?"

"should……"

"enough."

Li Lin forced a smile and said, "Just shoot, aim at the range you determine."
