Chapter 1262: Chapter 1263: Medical Alert

"Are there people from Hua City on the ship?" Someone heckled, looking around.

"Isn’t that them?" Someone familiar with Hua City’s people recognized two of them, "Did you see the lace revealed at their cloak’s collar? That’s a distinctive mark of Hua City."

It was a mother and son, the child was only six or seven, still held in his mother’s arms. Faced with everyone’s gaze, the mother rose to leave, but nearby passengers reached out to stop her, "In a hurry to leave, are we? Are all Hua City’s people so arrogant that they don’t even want to exchange words with outsiders?"

"I have something to do..." The mother urgently tried to leave, but just as she spoke, the person blocking her forcefully pulled off her cloak, revealing a set of clothes specially made for all city residents by the Fresh Flower City Government.

In a city like Hua City, where welfare is particularly good, the government takes care of residents’ clothing, food, and housing. However, because it’s uniformly customized, the clothes are more or less the same, and Hua City especially likes vibrant colors, so most of their clothes are white with floral embroidery, changing patterns with the seasons...

Surprisingly, however, these clothes seemed to attract hate.

Those who were gathered discussing the various benefits of Hua City now had a natural malice towards this mother and child.

"I thought Hua City people were some superior breed, but it turns out they have people like this too." The man who had pulled off the cloak laughed loudly.

Onlookers also joined in the laughter, with someone saying, "Some purely rely on the luck they’re born with, living without worry for food and clothing is just something they fall into!"

"It’s a pity the Hua City residency control is strict; otherwise, I’d move there halfway too. At least I’m strong and able, better than just freeloading!"

"I think Hua City should implement a weeding-out system, eliminating a batch of unproductive people every year to ensure the city environment gets better and better!"

"If I could live a carefree life in Hua City for a few years, I wouldn’t mind becoming fertilizer for their flowers in the future..."

Everyone spoke their piece, openly displaying envy for the outfit representing Hua City’s residents and jealousy towards this mother and child. However, with monitoring systems around, they refrained from taking any more excessive actions.

The woman seemed well-acquainted with handling such situations, simply covering her child and lowering her head without speaking. Seeing she was unresponsive despite all their talking, and not daring to really get physical, the others lost interest and found places to sit down.

The woman sat with her child in a corner.

Xu Huo was not far away, walked over, and handed her a potion, "Your child is ill, don’t cover him so tightly."

The woman looked at him warily, not even minding the potion in his hand, and quickly walked away with her child.

"She won’t take your stuff." An old man drinking beside him belched, wiped his mouth, and said, "People from Hua City have everything. How could they use cheap potions from an outsider like you? Every household uses the [government-issued] Advanced Potions... It’s unfair, why don’t we have such treatment..."

In the game world, the severe discrimination based on residency was unexpected to Xu Huo.

However, the woman’s condition didn’t seem like a life of privilege.

This was just a minor episode on the airborne ship; Xu Huo didn’t pay much attention as the ship went a third of the way, and six players avoided the monitors and sneaked onto the ship from different places.

This wasn’t surprising, in places filled with monitoring systems, people’s behavior is also relatively strictly regulated, especially for players. Whether local or outside players, the chances of breaking the rules are high, and once monitored or wanted by the authorities, it means they can’t freely take any means of transportation. After all, the District 001’s monitoring systems can determine identities based on behavioral habits; physical appearances can be altered, but habits are hard to change.

However, on such a cost-efficient airborne ship, the chances of success when mixing in the crowd are higher.

Coincidentally, two of the people who boarded near Xu Huo were the duo chased at the hotel—even though they had changed their appearance, the numbers above their heads were too conspicuous to be missed, especially since they had the "Friend or Foe Distinguisher" mark.

The "Friend or Foe Distinguisher" can mark up to ten people at a time, whether they are enemies or friends; as long as the other party appears within a fifty-meter radius, a notification will appear, which is effective even with changed appearances.

Compared to characteristics scoring widely used, "Friend or Foe Distinguisher" can accurately determine which of these are familiar faces and which are purely malicious strangers.

High Ponytail and his companion also noticed Xu Huo from afar. However, their Emotional Palette towards him didn’t change much; the characteristics score above their heads remained at 5, and the number’s color tended towards pale.

They walked past without a sideways glance, just like the other players on the ship.

The duo eventually stopped not far from Xu Huo, in a more crowded area, and quickly blended into a group of people, as if they had been conversing with them from the start.

At this moment, the alarm on the ship suddenly sounded, with red warning lights on the roof of the ship flashing continuously. The passing monitors suddenly halted and broadcasted a warning tone:

"A passenger triggered a medical alert. Please do not move around carelessly to prevent a stampede!"

The nearby flight monitors were all broadcasting this notification, but if you paid attention, during the broadcast, the metal ring in the middle of the egg-shaped monitor slid downward, revealing a circle of pea-sized holes.

Those are weapon ports.

Some passengers on the ship were very nervous about this unexpected incident, and some were accustomed to it. Through others’ conversation, it was learned that such an alarm is only triggered when a seriously ill person appears. At this time, the medical robot onboard will immediately deploy. Although it takes the air route and doesn’t interfere with the ground, it inevitably causes unnecessary misunderstandings, so the alarm is given in advance.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, two half-person tall Mechanical Beings quickly flew over the crowd’s heads.

"It’s just someone getting sick; isn’t all this commotion more likely to cause panic?" The newcomer players were puzzled.

Someone explained too, citing how several large cities in District 001 had examples of players causing incidents by exploiting sick or injured people, with a significant number of casualties. Therefore, if anything happens on large public transportation, the monitor robots will control the situation at once—except for those with ulterior motives, generally, no one can’t wait a few minutes.

"The times are really different now; even robots can handle emergency medical incidents." A player commented.

A resident from District 001 felt particularly proud and said, "If the robots can’t handle it, a medical team will arrive within ten minutes."

The people on the ship were mostly discussing the airborne ship’s emergency speed. Xu Huo took a moment to glance at the scene of the incident, discovering that the one who triggered the medical alert was the mother and child from earlier. The woman was holding the child, who was breathing rapidly, defensively watching the Mechanical Beings, not allowing them to approach.
