Chapter 703 The controller

Chapter 703 The controller

Gary had scooted over a bit, working closer to Elijah and Earny. Although he had great hearing and could usually hear from a great distance, with all the banging from the pickaxes and heavy machinery, it was hard to concentrate on just a single area of noise.

The question he was interested in was just who was behind all of these factories.

“It depends what you're asking.” Earny said, as he continued to hammer away. “If it's who we are working for, or who owns these factories. You see this city was even worse off when it was before. It was essentially one big dump site.

“We were a tier-5, and if you have ever been to those sorts of places, you know what they're like.”

Gary hadn’t but he heard the rumours. They were essentially the country's tips. All sorts of broken cars, materials, anything that wasn’t wanted would go to these cities and that included people.

“Still, just like every place, we had those that ran the place. A gang that called themselves the Scavengers. They were a big group, and they controlled several little small scavenger groups that would sell to the other cities, parts that might still be needed.

“Somehow though, the Scavengers were able to make a deal. These minerals were found, and factories were built somewhat overnight. The Scavengers were in charge of these factories but how they got the money to build such things, no one really knows but it had to come from somewhere.”

A gang that was large enough to stop even the Howlers from buying the factory, or a group, this was what Kai had said as well. It looked like perhaps the Scavengers were the only ones that would know the answer.

“We thought it was a good thing, new money coming into our city. They even used it to invest in some schools. With the factories we were able to become a tier-4 and other groups from outside started to use us.

“However, the Scavengers have set up things so it all benefits them in the end.” Earny continued. “You see, there are multiple gangs in this city, but they all eventually lead to the Scavengers. As for the other gang’s duties, all it boils down to is getting new recruits to either work in the factories or become part of the gangs.

“The gangs are already extremely involved in the schools' delinquents and in a city like this, that's over 90 percent of the students. In their eyes the top of the food chain is the Scavengers, so that’s what they aim for.

All in all, hsi stats had imporved a lot quicker than when he wwas levelling up, and a few more days of doing this, he was sure he would be storng enough to beat Midwak. Coming to the tier-4 city wans’t a waist of time after all.

With a smile on his face, Gary was ready to crucnh down on another crystal, when a straneg alarm soudn was heard. It wans’t like a fire alarm, but more like a horn that soudned three times.

All of the workers were seen putting thier pickaxe’s down.

“What’s that, what’s happening?” Elijah saked.

“Its inspection time.” Earny said, sweat runnign down the side of his face, and he had a frown. “They usuelly don’t have one so soon after the last one, I wonder if somethign is happening.”

If they were havign an inspection then Gary was hoping he owudln’t be caught out, it would be impsoiible with him consuming the crystals, right?
