Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 143 - 98: The Manager’s Dying Gift, The Remnants of Bygone Dawn, Entrusted to Sanctuary_3
Chapter 143: Chapter 98: The Manager’s Dying Gift, The Remnants of Bygone Dawn, Entrusted to Sanctuary_3
The old man seemed much more relaxed.
Seeing the old man relax, Su Yu finally couldn’t help but ask the question that had been on his mind.
Ever since he learned that the old man came from a large settlement like Dawn City.
Su Yu had been paying attention to news about Dawn City, but unfortunately, it seemed too far from the Sanctuary, and he couldn’t gather any information.
However, this didn’t stop Su Yu from being curious about the old man’s origins.
On Ruins Star, there are many settlements.
But large settlements are rare.
And these large settlements often inherit the core technology of the once ruling forces on this planet.
The time they have existed is incomparable to small settlements like Shelter No. 73, which often rotate every ten or twenty years.
The history of each large settlement may exceed a hundred years or more.
The living environment inside these settlements and the living conditions of the residents are far superior to those of other small or even medium-sized settlements on Ruins Star.
To put it bluntly.
The old man’s life as a leader at Shelter No. 73 might not be as comfortable as that of an ordinary resident in Dawn City.
"Why did the old man choose to leave Dawn City?"
Hearing Su Yu’s question.
A trace of reminiscence appeared in the old man’s eyes, and after a moment of silence, he sighed lightly and said, "It’s not that I wanted to leave, but Dawn City could no longer accommodate me."
"Could no longer accommodate?"
Su Yu was stunned, and several scenarios flashed through his mind.
Perhaps he committed a heinous crime in Dawn City and had to leave his hometown.
Perhaps an evil researcher forcefully transformed his body, and after a fierce battle between a defiant, artificially modified warrior and the evil settlement’s high-ranking officials, he finally gained freedom, becoming a lonely ranger on the ruins.
Or perhaps...
Before Su Yu could finish imagining.
The old man’s poignant voice came again: "Yes, after all, Dawn City was already on the brink of destruction."
"???"
Su Yu was dazed for two or three breaths before snapping back to reality, his expression becoming exceedingly strange.
But he didn’t have time to dispel the chaotic thoughts from his mind, as he was completely absorbed by the information the old man revealed.
"Dawn City... should be a large settlement."
"Can such a large settlement be destroyed?"
"There are too many secrets on this planet. Large settlements appear utterly insignificant in the face of those secret forbidden presences."
The administrator shook his head and said softly.
As he spoke, he motioned for Su Yu to look out the window toward the direction of the Steel Jungle.
"Just like the Life Forbidden Zone of the Steel Jungle, even seven-star and eight-star Transcendents have ventured into it for exploration, but none have returned. And at such a level, they’re top-tier in large settlements."
"Compared to these forbidden zones and taboos, what is Dawn City?"
As he spoke, the old man became increasingly despondent.
Feeling the change in the old man’s mood, Su Yu remained curious about the undisclosed information.
But he also understood that the old man no longer had the inclination to speak, so he politely stood up and took his leave.
The administrator didn’t insist on keeping him, merely patted Su Yu’s shoulder and watched him leave.
Even after Su Yu had walked far away.
The old man sat on the bed, quietly lost in thought.
"Dawn..."
Recalling the homeland turned wasteland and the meteor that descended like divine punishment, flattening the entire city of Dawn.
Even after nearly two hundred years of life, and having led his surviving compatriots on a grueling trek of thousands of kilometers across the wasteland, the old man’s heart had been tempered like steel.
Reflecting on that scene, his voice still trembled!
It was truly... a hellish scene.
Taking a deep breath, the administrator shivered slightly, then looked up at the gray ceiling, his gaze fixed as if he could see through it, beyond the gray radiation clouds, to the vast star sea outside. After a long time, he finally looked away.
"Bai Hong, could you come in for a moment?"
The old man spoke softly.
Upon retracting his gaze, a resolute light appeared in his eyes as if he’d finally made up his mind, calling Bai Hong in to help him find some paper and a pen.
"I have something I want to leave for Mr. Su as my final parting gift."
...
At this moment, Su Yu was unaware of the old man’s new actions after his departure.
After saying farewell to the old man.
Su Yu returned directly to the base of the Ninth Squad.
However, before he could rest for a moment, Lang Yun and Hu Wen, upon learning of Su Yu’s return, came together to visit.
After the defeat of the Night Slayer Team.
The spoils of war recovered from the battlefield and the materials harvested from the Night Slayer Team’s base were waiting for Su Yu’s instructions before they dared to inventory and organize them.
"Let the two of you handle these matters; I’ll send Uncle Yang over to help."
Su Yu now didn’t have much time to inventory those materials.
Having Yang Lie supervising to prevent Lang Yun and Hu Wen or others from embezzling was enough.
His top priority now was quickly formulating a plan to restore strength and repair the Thousand-Handed Prosthetic and the Cavalry Corps.
Only strength is the fundamental basis for standing on this planet.
Why didn’t Lang Yun and Hu Wen dare to make decisions without consulting him? It was out of respect for his strength.
Moreover.
Although he’s taken care of the Wolf Riders from the Ghost Tribe, and the news shouldn’t leak, there’s always a fear of the unexpected.
Su Yu had no time for menial tasks now.
However.
"Once all the materials are inventoried, wait before distributing them."
"I’ll handle the allocation of the spoils of war, but the previous inventory will be up to you all."
Su Yu spoke solemnly.
And hearing the seriousness in Su Yu’s voice.
Lang Yun, Hu Wen, and even Yang Lie all nodded earnestly.
"Understood!"
