He Comes From the Void

The so-called secret base of this group of children is a dilapidated factory without alchemy street lamps or luminous signs, hidden in a dark corner, very quiet.

"Be careful." Ike turned over the broken bricks and tiles with ease, and came to a door and took out the key.

"Huh?" Karn looked past his garish hair and saw something painted on the door.

"Abandoned building, no entry."

Feeling his hand being pulled, Kahn saw a smashed lock on the ground in the direction Kasha pointed, and then glanced at the lock that Ike was fiddling with. This was the only new thing here.

"Are you taking an entire abandoned factory for yourself?"

"Well, this place has been deserted for several years. It used to be a dynamite factory, far away from the street, and basically no one would bother it."

Ike is most worried about those mature gangsters. Children can only hide when they see them. Fortunately, this place is so remote that even street gangsters don't bother to come here. As for the children, you can let them come and play together.

The environment was too dark, and Ike fumbled for a while and couldn't insert the key into the keyhole. He learned to use it, took out the Hex crystal that Kahn gave him, and illuminated it with a faint light.

"The explosives factory... Aren't you afraid that the explosives hidden inside will blow up the factory?"

"It's okay, we have eliminated all hidden dangers when we moved here. And those people didn't have the kindness to leave us explosives. When we first came in to search, there was already an empty house."

With a click, Ike finally opened the door lock in the dim groping, and a group of children filed in... Kahn and Kaisha walked at the end, hoping that the inside of the factory would not be as ordinary as it looked outside.

The light emitted by the crystal in its natural state can only illuminate the circle of the palm of the hand. Ike fumbled his hand by the door and turned on a alchemy desk lamp. The dark green light lit up the haze in the room. In a trance, Kahn thought I saw Thresh's lantern.

"Ahem, the air here is more stuffy than the sewers." Kaisha blocked her mouth and nose with her right fist, but the dust still got into her nose and caused a cough, and the airflow from the cough caused the dust to surge, and even the trajectory was clearly visible , one can imagine how thick the dust here is.

"Sorry, we live inside. The factory building outside is too big and we haven't had time to clean it yet." Ike scratched his head embarrassedly, pointed to the fan on the wall and said, "With the Hex crystal, I You can try to make an engine restart exhaust fan, and then there will be no so much haze."

"We're going to get a workbench out tonight!"

"Boss is amazing!"

The children of Zaun Lost Children are basically Ike's admirers, and they all cheered and applauded when they heard him say this, making the air in the workshop even more choking.

"Come on, I hope you can build a better secret base."

Kahn smiled, but he could only use too much force. Their adaptation to the haze was not as good as that of the children in this area. He asked Kaisha to pull up the collar chain to the top like him, and raised the collar to cover her mouth and nose as a makeshift mask.

Let me explain here that the ventilation system is very important to Zaun, because the haze sinks downward, and the lower the terrain, the worse the haze will be.

In order to alleviate the smog situation, a ventilation system was established in the city of Zu'an that runs through the upper, middle and lower floors, and through the device, fresh air from the ground is continuously fed into the ground day and night.

But even that won't completely solve the problem, and as long as those factories exist, the smog will continue to be produced. The opening and closing of the production line every day makes the haze of Zaun rise and fall like a tide, overflowing the buildings attached to the edge of the cliff, leaving pools of cloud-like sedimentary sludge.

After crossing the empty factory building, Ike led them to an empty room.

The room was already lit, and it was much cleaner than the workshop outside. Although the air was still dull, the dust visible to the naked eye had improved a lot.

Kaisha noticed that the room was full of hollow cement pipes. She had seen these near the entrance of the sewer, but the difference was that the cement pipes there were scattered in a disorderly manner, because they had been soaked in the sewage for a long time and were covered with blue. bacteria, but the cement pipes in the room looked very clean and neatly stacked into a trapezoid.

"How can there be such things here?" She asked suspiciously. She knew that these things were used to build sewers, so it seemed strange to appear in an abandoned factory building.

"Hey, don't get too close, guess what this is for." Ike deliberately played tricks, and he felt that his genius creativity would definitely be refreshing.

It's just that Kaisha is not one of those obedient children. She noticed that there were many odds and ends piled up on the other side of the room, and there was a mirror facing the cement pipe.

Kaisha has good eyesight, and through the mirror, she can see the things inside the cement pipes. It is a bed of quilts and pillows, which are contained in every cement pipe, carrying the dreams of these trench orphans.

"This one is your dormitory."

Kai'Sa's expressionless face made Ike stand still: "Strange, is it that obvious?"

He thought that no one would have come up with this genius idea. Each of these cement pipes has a diameter of one meter, which is more than enough to fit a child in, and it saves space when stacked.

The most important thing is that the solid and closed structure will make the waifs feel very safe and weighty, and the quality of sleep will be improved accordingly. He genuinely thinks about these homeless kids, and he's really happy to see them have a safe place to live.

"How did you move these things here? I guess Mundo did it." Kahn didn't think a group of children would be able to move these heavy cement pipes.

"Yes, when we first came here to build facilities, Mundo kept pestering me to help, so I asked him to see if he could move the cement pipe, and he really did it, which is incredible."

Speaking of Mundo's great strength, Ike can talk about it for three days and three nights. If he is more normal, he will become a superman in the children's minds.

And this help also made Ike accept him from the bottom of his heart, and he began to change his mind, thinking that Mundo is not a burden. As long as he guides him with his heart, Mundo can walk on the streets just like everyone else.

"Where is he?" Kane asked.

"Mundo didn't share a room with us, he's next door..." As he spoke, Ike walked to another room, knocked on the door and shouted, "Mundo, I brought two friends here so I can open the door and meet you." ?"
