Since he was sent to Hades Nest, Yarek's life has been very difficult.
The changes in the battle situation in the distance are heartbreaking, and the local situation in Chaodu is even more desperate.
The garrison troops here are more suitable than military forces as security guards. Most of the time they either gamble in the military camp or spend time with other things, and some even take servants to the wild hunt.
In order to rectify the discipline, Yarek had to use very violent means—
Eleven kills!
Relying on the support of the local mechanical education, he publicly executed almost one-tenth of the garrison with tough measures, and then asked others to draw lots in class units. Those who were drawn will be killed by others with bayonets, and each person must be stabbed.
Worse, those dead will eventually become material for the Mechanic Fighter servants.
With almost brutal measures, he quickly suppressed the scattered atmosphere in the military camp.
But that was not enough, because his methods were too fierce, which led to a tense atmosphere between the officers and soldiers in the military camp, and even several mutinies occurred.
In order to let the soldiers truly understand the cruelty of the upcoming battle, Arik specially found a few defeated soldiers who fled back from the battlefield to let everyone see their appearance - the tragic situation of those people deeply shocked the soldiers, especially after learning that they would be killed if they escaped.
Afterwards, Arik announced that all supplies restrictions would be lifted, and the daily rations of all soldiers would be doubled to the past, and the supply of tobacco and alcohol would be doubled, and the pension for deaths would be tripled.
Under this strategy of using big sticks and radish, the morale and discipline of the Hades's Guards have improved greatly.
But this is not enough. The Hades Nest City Guards only have 300,000 yuan in total. It is obviously not enough to defend against such a huge nest. Arik must seek new strength.
It just so happened that he met a friend in this place—
“I’ve been dreaming lately.”
A one-eyed man with dark skin and tattoos on his arms leaned on a beach chair, beside him was a casually dressed Arric sitting on a veranda with a sunshade.
And above their heads, the artificial sun unique to the nest is burning.
"Dreams about a large group of green monsters without assholes that made my home a mess."
As he said that, the one-eyed man squeezed out a ball of white powder from the golden box hanging around his neck, and placed it under his nose to suck it, while Arik took a pot of crockery and poured wine into the cup.
"Oh? I thought you were not afraid of heaven or earth?"
"I didn't say I was afraid, that was your own idea."
"What after?"
Arrek asked, leaning against the lounge chair and siping his wine.
"Those dirty and ugly farts started to striking on my table, and I fucked them one by one."
After saying that, the one-eyed man burst into laughter.
Arrek looked at him for a while, and suddenly changed into a serious expression.
"Make, I need your help."
The man known as Mek did not reply, but took out some powder from the box and sucked it twice.
After a few tremblings, the man shrugged.
"You know, you are the political commissar in the uniform of glory, and we are all marginal people. The glory of the God Emperor has never shone on the scum like us, even if a moment passed, we are spitted and forgotten, and can only survive in the dark nest."
Meck, also known as One-Eyed Meck, is the boss of the Bloodhook Gang, the five major gangs in Hades' Nest.
Violent gangs are not specialties of the lower nest capital, but they are almost all rooted in the lower nest capital, because only such a harsh environment can give birth to these bloodthirsty people who look down on life and death.
The bottom nests are the last shelter and burial places for desperate people in the nest capital, and are also the exile places for countless marginal figures. This area nominally and in fact no longer belongs to the jurisdiction of the empire and any functional departments of the planet. Only the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Justice will enter this area fully armedly in order to investigate cases, fight against gene stealers infiltration or capture wild psychics.
Due to its lack of control of the empire, the area has almost no official infrastructure support. All the oxygen, fuel, pure water, food and various supplies needed to survive in a giant artificial city like Nest cannot be officially supplied.
Compared to the secondary nests where electricity costs are high but at least water (circulating water or chemically purified water) have electricity, everything here is maintained by various unofficial forces, which are called gangs.
In Hades Nest, there are many reasons for joining a gang, debt, desire, or just simple survival.
But no matter what the reason, in the end, they can only fight each other for limited resources. All kinds of domestic waste in the upper nest will flow from high places through pipes, slide rails or simply the outline of old ruins. These endless "garbage flows" tilt to the bottom of the nest like a black river. Residents along the way will set up various collection tools like fishing nets to screen out valuable things, including metals, synthetic polymer materials, leftovers, and electronic waste.
It is not easy to obtain these resources, but it is even more difficult to protect them. Many gangs are formed just to protect a "river".
But there are also some visionary people who are not limited to making a living by obtaining garbage. They look further and realize that there are more profitable work in the bottom nest without law.
For example, smuggling contraband, including alien creations, banned drugs, illegal modification of machine servants, etc.
The main business of the Bloodhook Gang is to smuggle banned drugs, so they often appear in the middle or even the upper nests.
Yarik met this person by chance. Although he didn't like this medicine head on weekdays, he now also needs his connections - Mek's business is connected with almost all large gangs.
“What you are now has nothing to do with your identity or status.”
Arrek put down his wine glass.
"That's an alien. There is only one voice in their minds. Kill, kill all things that are not green-skinned, and no one can escape."
"Maybe we can try to apply the skin green?"
Meck shrugged, then smiled:
"Of course, I'm kidding."
"Make, time is very tight. I can provide you with weapons. I only need you to provide the most fierce warrior. I don't care what he was before, whether it was a murderer or a heretic, as long as he could go into battle and fight against the green skin, I promise that I will not blame you."
According to Arik's estimate, at least three million troops are needed to fully deploy the defense of the entire nest capital. These three million troops cannot be the kind of soldiers who temporarily pull onto the battlefield and tremble after firing two shots. They must be the kind of soldiers who have seen blood and are ruthless.
Originally, according to his personality, even if he worked hard to train ordinary citizens, he would not want to take the scum at the bottom of the nest, but now time is really too urgent - according to the reconnaissance force, the green-skinned vanguard troops have approached the nest for 100 kilometers.
At no time, he could only ask the Cangdu Gang for help, hoping that these people could know the truth that there was no end to the nest after being destroyed.
