My Card Girl Infinite Evolution - Chapter 464

“Remove your helmet to confirm identity, please submit to inspection!”

A cyborg wearing black armor stepped forward.

She was also holding a heavy machine gun.

Katerina removed her helmet without hesitation, standing still.

The cyborg took out a scanner.

She scanned Katerina’s face.

The scanner displayed a green light, “Identity confirmed, you may enter Sky City.”

The cyborg put down the scanner, stood aside with her gun, and said: “You may enter.”

Luo Sheng and Alice breathed sighs of relief.

It turned out only one person’s identity needed to be checked.

However, Luo Sheng’s expression was complex, thinking that if he hadn’t attacked that patrol, perhaps the security wouldn’t be so strict now.

But there was no use regretting past actions.

The three entered through the massive metal gate, where they could smell a faint odor of rusting metal.

But after entering the gate, Luo Sheng was surprised to find the air becoming clearer.

It felt as if they were enveloped in the atmosphere of a water town in Jiangnan.

Completely at odds with the wasteland punk world outside, the air here was very humid, not dry at all, and there was no sense of scorching heat.

“This Sky City has something to it,” Luo Sheng remarked in rare praise.

He had originally thought Sky City would be unremarkable, but after entering it felt like stepping into a new world.

“How did they manage this?” Luo Sheng couldn’t help but wonder curiously.

Katerina pointed to the faint membrane created by the metal grating near the gate.

She explained: “They use this special chemical membrane to isolate the air inside from the outside, keeping all the moisture locked in.”

“Why not envelop all of Detroit this way?”

“The cost is too high. The daily operation of this system requires an incalculable amount of electricity and materials,” Katerina said bluntly.

At this moment,

The first thing that came into view after entering the gate was:

A giant elevator, suspended by enormous metal cables, that went directly up to the ground level of Sky City, a height of several hundred meters.

Looking up, Luo Sheng also saw several other large suspension pods, similar to freight elevators, transporting large quantities of goods up to Sky City.

Truckloads of NASDAQ Group containers were being delivered to the pods. The machines emitted a buzzing vibration as the pods climbed upwards along the cables.

“Stop looking, come in quickly.”

Katerina pressed the elevator button and input some passwords.

The elevator doors opened.

Luo Sheng pulled Alice along as they entered the elevator with Katerina.

Whir whir whir…

The sound of the electric motor starting up rang out.

A powerful pulling force yanked the elevator, rapidly ascending, reaching a speed of 40-50 kilometers per hour. Ordinary people would likely find it difficult to withstand such speed.

Luo Sheng looked out through the glass window at the entire city of Detroit.

He could see massive skyscrapers in the distance, now dilapidated, like abandoned construction projects. Many of the glass panes were shattered, fallen to the ground, revealing dark and empty interiors.

There were also many abandoned vehicles on the city streets, some still burning.

There wasn’t much urban greenery.

Apart from a few cacti and drought-resistant vegetation, no other green things could be seen.This chapter was taken from novelping . com without permission.

It looked like an abandoned city in the desert.

“Ding dong, we have arrived at the ground level of Sky City. Please keep your personal belongings with you. The company is not responsible for any lost items.”

Luo Sheng looked up at the display screen in the elevator.

It was still a NASDAQ Group product.

Luo Sheng complained, “Don’t tell me Sky City was manufactured by the Group?”

Katerina shook her head, “Sky City was built by the Alliance, but the Group owns a lot of technological resources, so they took over all the maintenance and construction projects for Sky City.”

“A national monopoly,” Luo Sheng replied simply.

Alice chimed in from the side: “It’s not a national monopoly, after all, in our organization, they haven’t managed to get their hands in yet.”

“You’re quite right,” Luo Sheng said, wanting to pat Alice’s head.

Unfortunately, she was wearing heavy armor, so touching her head felt no different from touching a piece of scrap metal.

Katerina looked at them speechlessly.

“Let’s go, be careful after entering Sky City, I feel like it’s even stricter than before.”

“Mm.”

As the three chatted casually,

The elevator doors slowly opened.

Even fresher, more humid air entered from outside. Luo Sheng could smell the scent of tulips, giving it the appearance of a paradise on earth.

However, to fully enter Sky City,

They still had to pass through another checkpoint.

Another massive metal gate, with all kinds of heavy equipment and weapons aimed at the elevator.

If any danger was detected, they would likely blow up the elevator directly.

Similarly, a cyborg called out: “Remove your helmet to confirm identity, please submit to inspection!”

Katerina took off her helmet.

After receiving confirmation,

Luo Sheng and the others were finally allowed to pass through the last gate.

He looked back and saw the elevator was still running, but very few people were entering Sky City. Luo Sheng glanced and saw they were mostly wealthy individuals.

Dressed in fine clothes, cigars in their mouths, wearing diamond watches, gold chains around their necks.

Accompanied by maids who served them respectfully.

But they too had to undergo inspection.

Before being allowed to enter Sky City.

However, their inspection was not as strict. They presented special credentials, received a quick scan, and were let through.

Luo Sheng turned back to look inside Sky City, which resembled an oasis in the desert.

Flowers bloomed everywhere, and giant palm trees provided shade.

All kinds of vibrant flowers were planted under the palm trees, a riot of colors that made one think it was a sea of flowers.

In the distance were various magnificent buildings, skyscrapers, rows of snow-white villas, and fountain lakes, truly a paradise for the rich.

Katerina didn’t linger on the scenery.

Instead she asked: “Should we go to headquarters first or the factory?”

“Let’s go to the Alliance headquarters first. Our goal is to help you recover your memories,” Luo Sheng said decisively.

Because his purpose for entering Alice’s card worldFollow the newest chapters on novеlping.com.

Was mainly to strengthen Alice.

To fulfill her request.

As for other matters, they could be put aside for now. Even if the NASDAQ Group’s factory could bring about the apocalypse,

It still wouldn’t take priority over Alice’s needs.

“This way,” Katerina said.

The three went to a secluded spot and removed all their armor. The mech equipment was too cumbersome and inconvenient for movement.

Then they headed towards the center of Sky City.

As they walked, Luo Sheng observed the scenery of Sky City from time to time. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this place heaven, no wonder so many people wanted to enter Sky City.

Here, at least, one would have no worries about food or clothing.

And could also enjoy beautiful scenery.

However, as they walked along, they didn’t encounter any obstacles.

Whether it was the Alliance’s security forces or soldiers, or the NASDAQ Group’s patrols.

They didn’t see many along the way.

“The defenses along this route are too sparse, something feels off,” Luo Sheng suddenly stopped and said. He looked cautious as he led the two to a hidden spot to pause.

Alice nodded as well.

She said frankly: “I sense it too, there are even fewer patrols here than in Detroit.”

“Could they be trying to lure us in?” Katerina offered her guess.

“I have an idea.”

Luo Sheng found a hidden warehouse.

He used Dongfang Muqing’s Azure Feather summoning to retrieve the Storm Mech that was already stored inside.

After Alice and Katerina entered the warehouse,

The latter looked oddly at the gleaming silver Storm Mech.

Katerina couldn’t help but ask: “How did you get this mech in here?”

Luo Sheng didn’t answer directly, but vaguely said: “Through certain means. But now isn’t the time to dwell on that, let’s use the mech to scan our surroundings first.”

At his indication,

Alice entered the Storm Mech.

She linked her nervous system to the mech,

Achieving perception of the surrounding environment.

With the mech, Alice’s range of perception could expand to 10 kilometers.

All objects within a 10 kilometer radius could be sensed, whether living or non-living.

Even high-speed bullets could clearly appear in her mind. This was an ability granted to her by the Storm Mech.

Soon, Alice spoke: “There isn’t much defensive force at the Alliance headquarters, only about 20 guards.”

Katerina asked puzzled: “Then where are most of the people?”

“Two huge square buildings, with about 1,500 cyborgs, as well as large numbers of mercenaries, heavy armored vehicles and mech missiles.”

Alice opened her eyes and said.

Luo Sheng pondered for a moment, “That’s probably their factory. I didn’t expect them to be so heavily guarded. But, that works in our favor.”

Now that the Alliance headquarters was empty,

It would be convenient for him to come and go freely.
