Chapter 398: Daily Life of Superheroes in Vice City
Xiang Liangzhan was still living a sweet honeymoon life with the big lizard in the primitive jungle, while Zhou Linyu, who was far away in Ekarolai, got up and left the hotel room and met the hotel owner who was a humanoid self-propelled mocking machine.
During this period, Zhou Linyu also tried to dig up information about the owner of this store.
But at present, we only know that the other party's surname is Fang, and he is from Mo Se Mainland.
He was very cautious about the rest and refused to reveal anything.
"Oh, I really like to sleep in, miss, your behavior made me realize once again how strong human inertia is." Boss Fang could ignite Zhou Linyu's already explosive emotions with just one mouthful.
But thanks to this, Zhou Linyu's ability to withstand stress is indeed improving.
I don’t know whether I should thank this person or not.
"Are you planning to go out today to punish evil and promote good? I have said it many times. Instead of doing this kind of undecidable thing, it is better to go to the big bosses in the red zone and make them happy. If they are in a good mood, they may be rewarded more.
The poor people in the black area have one mouthful to eat." Boss Fang was smiling and planning again today.
Zhou Linyu didn't know what he was doing every day.
However, she looked outside at the tall buildings that were so close that it was difficult to see them all, and sighed helplessly: "Although I don't say that I have any social experience, how could the upper class in a place like this pour his own soup down?
.”
"But if you stay in the black area, your vision will be narrow after all. If you don't go to the upper level to broaden your horizons, it will be difficult for you to find what you want. Or is it really that what you want is just to be a person here?
A superhero who can’t change anything?”
Faced with Boss Fang's question, Zhou Linyu didn't know how to answer it.
It was because she didn't have a clue and didn't know how to explore that she tried to get in touch with the city in this way like she did now.
Of course, it was more because she couldn't ignore the tragedies in front of her many times.
The reason was that Si Le was investigating whether there was someone behind the kid who stole things.
There is indeed someone behind that child. It is a small gang in the black area of Ecarole. It is a subordinate of other big gangs and governs a small area.
The reason why that child was brought in by gangsters to steal things was because his mother was originally a commodity for some dirty transactions in the hands of gangsters.
But she unexpectedly became pregnant with a child. After escaping from the gang, she hid and gave birth to the child.
Not long after the child was born, the mother was found and taken away.
The child grew up crawling and wallowing in the slums and went to find his mother, but the mother was already dying of sexually transmitted diseases.
At this time, the person in charge of that street, perhaps out of some bad taste, told the child that as long as he listened to them, stole things, and made enough money, the mother might be saved.
These were questions Si Le asked directly after finding the child.
Afterwards, Zhou Linyu asked Boss Fang.
Boss Fang just chuckled and said: "That kid can earn a few grays a day, and probably not even a gray a month. And the sexually transmitted diseases that are prevalent in this area cost tens of thousands of reds to treat. Do you really think
Can that kid earn it?”
Dark secrets, gray and red are the currencies used by Ekarolai. Thirty black secrets are equal to one gray, and twelve gray are equal to one red.
Tens of thousands of red, the child's mother is obviously hopeless.
When he reacted, Zhou Linyu had already penetrated the gangster.
But what's the point? She has no money to save the child's mother, and without this meager source of income, the child may have to go back to the past days of collecting garbage to make a living.
Maybe he was still angry that someone had wiped out the gang and left him with no money to make.
Zhou Linyu fell into his own whirlpool, gradually gave up thinking too much, and just acted blindly, that's it.
"Oh, I'm going out." Today, Zhou Linyu still chose to give up thinking, put on his hood and prepared to go out.
"You'd better be careful. Some gangs have already regarded you as a thorn in their side. They may consciously guard against and target you." Boss Fang reminded kindly.
"Thanks for the reminder."
Zhou Linyu can't spin spider silk, and she doesn't have the high-tech to fly, but fortunately she has Sile, who can take her to fly. But be careful not to fly too high. The city's anti-aircraft weapons coverage is amazing
, many shorter buildings even have installations, which makes people wonder if they are planning to build taller buildings.
Zhou Linyu has no goals.
Because if you just walk around this city, you can easily encounter some bad things.
If you want to deal with bigger goals, go to more remote places.
Today, Zhou Linyu found a gang. Zhou Linyu didn't know the specific gang, but after observing it, she confirmed that they were probably conducting some kind of transaction.
However, Zhou Linyu looked for a long time and didn't see where the goods were. He only saw the money flowing.
"Sile, help me find out what's going on."
Si Le nodded, and his figure became illusory and quickly disappeared. During this time, Zhou Linyu was sitting on a secret window sill, listening to the goings on below.
Soon, Sile came back.
"There is an entrance to the underground waterway below. There are vehicles inside and many people inside." Si Le said seriously.
"Human trafficking?" Zhou Linyu was furious.
Many countries in the world legally prohibit the slave trade. Although Ekarole seems to be independent, it is actually under the jurisdiction of an outside country. Under the applicable laws, this is obviously prohibited.
Of course, whether the country actually complies is another matter.
She suppressed her emotions and asked, "Why is there a car in the sewer?"
"I just took a brief look. The city's sewer system is very complicated and the space is huge. The designer is probably a genius. And the underground forces have obviously taken advantage of it and built a circulation system that extends in all directions."
Sile replied.
This answer made Zhou Linyu frown even more.
Not only does Ecarole tower into the sky, but the roots beneath its feet are so deep and complex.
She felt more and more headache.
Can anyone just come over and throw a meteorite to destroy this broken city?
Freda Sa:?
She couldn't help but have this idea of breaking the jar.
“What is the strength of both parties to the transaction?”
"Don't look at it. There are more than 20 bronze and silver figures, and three gold figures. I'm not sure whether they hold any magic items." Si Le replied.
Zhou Linyu thought about it and said: "Try it, but first prepare a retreat plan if you lose."
…
"Why do you want so many people? You don't want to sacrifice human lives to some evil god." On one side of the transaction, a man with golden brown curly hair whistled and said to the man in front of him who looked a little fat.
"Stop your unnecessary curiosity, William. It seems that after all these years you still haven't mastered the tricks of survival." The fat man in front warned calmly.
"Okay, but you can earn so much by giving away a few people. Remember to call me next time you have this kind of business." Lian Mu spread his hands to express his understanding.
At this time, a subordinate came to him and said a few words.
Lian Mu nodded and continued: "Money is no problem, you can drive the car down there."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." The fat man nodded.
Suddenly, there was a commotion, which made both of them frown and feel unhappy.
"What's going on?" the fat man asked dissatisfiedly.
"Sir! The car has been driven away!" A subordinate at the scene reported quickly after receiving the news.
