Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duelists Beyond Light

Chapter 7 Speed ​​7 Shindo Mino City and Satellite Areas

The world view of "Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds" is very different from that of the previous work. Compared with the DM and GX series, the Domino City in this one is darker and colder.

Everything starts with an event called "zero point reversal".

This incident took place about twenty years after the "Duel King - Yugi Muto era". At that time, the KC Group (also known as the Kaiba Group) had already achieved an extremely exaggerated level of technology.

In order to continue moving towards a newer future, Dr. Fudo of the Moment Development Department found "wandering planet particles" and created a pollution-free perpetual motion energy device - Moment.

However, during the research process, an extremely dangerous malfunction occurred in the Moment system. Dr. Fudo tried to terminate it but failed, and finally caused a huge explosion that shook the entire city!

This explosion disaster was the "zero point reversal" incident.

Affected by the powerful impact, the original Tongshiye City was split into two, separated by sea water in the middle. With the implementation of various emergency strategies, the gap between the new Tongshiye City in the center and the satellite area across the coast continued to widen.

Today, the two areas are as different as heaven and earth. All garbage and waste from New Domino City are discharged into the satellite area without exception. The residents of the satellite area not only have to recycle and dispose of huge amounts of garbage day and night, but are also permanently banned from going to New Domino City.

The only connections between the two cities were eventually pipes for discharging waste and waterways for recycling materials.

This distorted pattern has created a huge gap between the rich and the poor among the residents of the two places, and various forms of discrimination and hatred have rapidly grown in countless conflicts.

Almost every month, illegal residents of the satellite area are deported, and within the satellite area, friction between various gangs and organizations also frequently occurs...

Area F17, the th scrap recycling plant, metal scrap sorting warehouse.

A shrill noise filled the factory. As a section of the conveyor belt fell off, countless garbage fell to the ground. In just a few minutes, both sides of the assembly line were filled with waste.

Amid the clanging sounds, several young men in their teens and 18s were shouting and arguing. Although they were all factory workers, they were wearing their own dirty and ragged clothes. Since about three years ago, the factory has stopped distributing work clothes.

"What the hell! I told you to talk to the people over there and stop the conveyor belt!!"

"Why didn't you say something?! If you could just talk and stop the garbage from coming in, would the satellite area be in this mess?!"

"Stop arguing!! Let's figure out how to fix it quickly, or we'll all be dead tomorrow morning!"

"Damn it... it's not working! This chain is so damn hard to fix. It's impossible to put it back on after it breaks!"

Arguments, shouting, scrap collisions, machines roaring...all sorts of harsh sounds intertwined together, making the entire factory extremely noisy.

At this moment, a voice came from the factory door. His voice was very loud, and it was hard not to pay attention to what he said: "If you use that method, you will only damage the equipment!"

Several young workers who were in a mess turned around and saw a very unfamiliar guy standing at the door. He should be older than them and seemed to have lived a good life in the past, but now he was in a miserable state for some reason.

Several people have been working in the satellite area for many years. Although they don't have any special skills, they are always good at judging people.

The boy standing at the door was wearing ill-fitting, ragged clothes, but his boots looked particularly valuable. At first glance, although he was dirty, his solid muscles were not something that people like them could train.

After hearing You Qing's words, the young man who was squatting in the garbage dump, sweating profusely, suddenly got angry. He threw the wrench to the ground and cursed in a hoarse voice: "I can't do it? Then you do it?!"

But who would have thought that You Qing actually came over, found a few tools on the ground, and stepped into the garbage pile: "I can fix it."

This scene made several young men stunned. They had no idea where this guy came from or what his purpose was.

One of them asked his companion cautiously, "Hey, is this... okay?"

The other person carefully observed You Qing's movements, nodded, and said, "He doesn't look like a novice... We can't do it anyway, so let this guy try..."

A smaller man nearby warned fearfully, "Who is he? Could he be a fugitive from New Tongshiye City?"

In this area, all criminals have a special mark on their faces to facilitate tracking by the Public Security Administration, but of course, this does not include fugitives who have never been arrested. Over the years, many people who have committed crimes in Shindo Mino City will find ways to escape to the satellite area.

Almost no sheriff in Shindo Mino City is willing to come to this kind of garbage dump in person to capture a criminal. Therefore, many fugitives who come here can completely escape the pursuit and investigation. As long as they do not alert the local public security bureau, they can barely get away with it.

The little man's words reminded the others.

A guy like You Qing who looks so weird might have really come here illegally.

Several people were nervous and took out the knives hidden on their bodies. Just when they were nervous and hesitant, the sound of the conveyor belt starting to work again was heard, and the garbage and waste materials brought in from the back stopped falling and were transported along the assembly line in an orderly manner again.

"Alright." You Qing wiped the stain from his forehead, walked out from the pile of waste, and pointed to a place on the conveyor belt. "But there are two parts missing. I can fix it now, but I guess it will break down again soon."

The young men felt as if they had been pardoned, but when they heard the second half of the sentence, they immediately panicked again.

"What part? Did it fall somewhere?"

"Ah? Then, how long can this last..."

You Qing sat on a hard-shell box, wiped the sweat off his face, and said, "It doesn't look like it fell off. The screws inside are very new. It looks like someone took it apart on purpose."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the young men turned dark.

The reason why they were so flustered today was because the machine had just been repaired two days ago. If it broke down again, their superiors would definitely think that they had tampered with it out of laziness, and they would be severely punished.

And You Qing's words reminded them.

If the machine wasn't damaged by natural causes but by human intervention, then it must have been caused by the group of people I had a feud with a few days ago...

"Damn it!" One of them got angry and was about to go out to settle the score, but was pulled back.

"Don't be impulsive. Those bastards won't admit it." A brown-haired boy who seemed to be the leader of the group shook his head, then looked at You Qing with a smile, "I'm really sorry to trouble you with today's matter. I wonder... is there anything I can help you with?"

You Qing hesitated for a moment and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

The timing is wrong, and asking so rashly may lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.

After a long moment, he sighed and asked awkwardly, "Is there anything...to eat?"
