"Do you see the man in the red suit over there?" The fat man pointed at a blond man standing at the entrance of the fortification passage.
The other party was wearing a red suit, very formal attire, and black headphones. He was communicating constantly and kept opening and closing his lips.
"What does he do?"
"The one who issued the 'tickets'," said the fat man, "was the one responsible for coordinating the last batch. At that time, there were not many people who came. I was also skeptical, and the tickets were too expensive. I didn't know whether to go there. About 2,000 people came.
.Hey, now that I think about it, I really regret it. I regret it so much. Originally, I was already in Huicheng District."
"Is there any doubt about this? There are so many rats." Xu Yang shook his head, "I will definitely leave if I have the chance."
"I don't know, I'm working here on Highland 26," the fat man said anxiously, "Then the power suddenly went out and it took 30 minutes to restore. I didn't know what happened. Everyone was confused, and then
I heard one after another that Pianmu District was overrun by a swarm of rats."
"It's not just the wood area, they will be here soon." Xu Yang looked back. In the past few hours, the rat people were dormant, preparing for a larger offensive.
For the Skaven, who are both technically and physically weak, they will definitely attack cautiously in the face of the heavily defended Huicheng District.
"So everyone stopped here," the fat man pointed at the crowd and the closed passage, "just waiting to die."
Xu Yang looked at the facilities at the checkpoint, which had the nameplate of Aizu Citizen Service Company printed on them.
Each city has its own municipal service company, which provides services such as water, electricity, roads, infrastructure and security, but they are all the lowest and most basic. Anyone who has requirements for quality of life will not choose them.
"They have no reason not to let us go," Xu Yang said. "You should have hired your own security services."
The contract stipulates that in critical moments, the security company must come to pick people up and leave the dangerous area. According to the company alliance law, the citizen service company has no right to prevent people from evacuating.
"Yes, yes, many of the 2,000 people who came before came because they bought security services." The fat man sighed, "But what do you mean, 'They all hired their own security services?', the actual situation is that
Most people don’t!”
"Where's your own security service?"
"The signal is too bad, I can't connect with them." Fatty said helplessly, "I was greedy for cheap and bought a security guard from Ocean District. They sent me messages every two hours, and they always said they were on their way."
"……really."
Also, I used to work at Gaoge Jiuzhou, and the company was directly responsible for my safety. All employees were under the protection of Gaoge Jiuzhou, and most of the people in the surrounding cities had purchased Gaoge Jiuzhou's annual or lifetime security services.
But here, how can they afford security services? They can only pay tribute to the gangs in exchange for temporary stability.
There are at least 20,000 people here.
Xu Yang looked around, and everywhere he saw there were crowds of people, so densely packed that there was no one around him at a glance. Countless citizens were anxious and exhausted.
The more he thought about it, the colder his body became.
There are at least 20,000 people here...
When the rat tide approaches, they will be trapped alive between the company's checkpoints and the rat men.
"A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood." Xu Yang murmured.
"What?" The fat man was puzzled.
"The rat people will eat up everyone here." Xu Yang said.
"Impossible," Fatty said doubtfully, "If there is really an army of rat men approaching, the Municipal Services Company would probably let it go."
"Not necessarily," Xu Yang shook his head, "You have not purchased security services. To the company, you are unplanned and non-existent. Only those who provide benefits to the company are valuable people. Maybe we can clear you out.
On the contrary, it is a cost-effective deal for the company, which not only makes it easier for them to defend this place, stop rats, but also eliminate the excess population."
"I'm not a surplus population," Fatty said anxiously, "I'm more or less a small boss, but the capital chain is too tight. Who knew Aizu Underground City would become so dangerous?"
"Yes..." Xu Yang agreed, "This place is underground in Anjiu City, and Anjiu City is an infinite hinterland city in Kyoto, a place that will not be affected even by corporate wars..."
"..." Fatty's expression became more and more worried, "Really...are we really going to die here?"
"It's most likely like this." Xu Yang said, "Since the city service company has blocked the connection..."
What if we hack into the roadblocks? Xu Yang thought to himself. Close those riot machine gun towers, retract the roadblocks, shield the interceptors, and take the electromagnetic interference equipment offline. Then people can pass through the connection without any hindrance, leave this damn place, and go to
Huicheng District.
The risk...is too great.
This is not a dark underground excavation site. It is just one step away from Huicheng District, which means we are back in the territory of civilization.
The company was able to easily detect my hacking and then locate and deal with me.
I'm still on the corporate alliance's bounty list! How can I take such a risk?
I don’t know how many millions of people are thinking about my head. Before, I could be said to be isolated from the world in Highland No. 26 and Pianmu District, but the situation in Huicheng District is completely different. I will never let a fugitive in there.
Acting recklessly under the nose of the company.
Only try it as a last resort.
"Brother," the fat man looked at Xu Yang, "don't you look very nervous?"
"Ah, I'm okay," Xu Yang turned back and pointed at his shuttle, "Brother, I have a shuttle that can go."
"That won't work," said the fat man, "there are interceptors on the roadblock, which will shoot the shuttle through."
"Yes," Xu Yang nodded casually, "I know."
"..." Fatty realized that Xu Yang had a way to break the barrier.
"Take me for a ride," the fat man said hurriedly. "I have money. I'll give you as much as you want! Please!"
"Don't worry," Xu Yang told the other party to calm down, "My name is Xu Yang, what about you? What do you do specifically?"
"My name is Zuo Hongchen," the fat man said. "I have set up an import and export trading company in Huicheng District, Jumen Commercial Co., Ltd."
"So you are the president of the business society." Xu Yang was interested. Although the other party was a capitalist, he was also the lowest type.
"Yes," Zuo Hongchen sighed, "Look, he is just a small boss trapped in this place now. Who knows that he will not be able to return to the company in just one day."
"Those who can run their own companies under the pressure of giant companies are very powerful." Xu Yang sighed, "And you are still so young."
This little fat guy is about 24 or 25 years old, so he is more or less a rich second generation.
Zuo Hongchen didn't answer. He looked very uncomfortable. He bent down and looked at the ground for a long time. It took a long time before he straightened up.
"how?"
"My mouth is so dry," Zuo Hongchen's voice was a little hoarse, "To be honest, I haven't eaten anything in 10 hours."
"Tell me earlier, brother, I still have some supplies here." Xu Yang pulled Zuo Hongchen towards the shuttle.
"What happened?" Falosa asked as soon as she saw Xu Yang approaching, "You guys have been chatting for a long time, is there anything that can be used?"
"The passage is sealed by the Aizu Citizen Service Company," Xu Yang said, "The reason is also very simple. The people here are too poor and not worth saving; and they have sealed this only passage, so you can easily kill mice. As long as the people here are
If people don't rush over to cause trouble, they can calmly prepare for defense on the other side of the passage. Huicheng District has basically solved the riot caused by rats, leaving us stuck here."
"Then aren't we doomed?" Farosha couldn't quite understand some of the details, but she could draw a conclusion.
"Just wait and see what happens." Xu Yang said calmly, "We can't mess up our position. Besides, if they really want to make things happen, I don't mind doing something extraordinary."
Zuo Hongchen leaned tiredly on the side of the shuttle and had no strength to climb in. Katsuragi Asa gave him a hand inside and pulled him in.
He sat weakly in his seat. Xu Yang brought him a bag of potato chips and a bottle of Coke. He kept eating. Xu Yang gave him another box of cookies and a pack of biscuits. He ate even more vigorously.
, stuffed his mouth, then took a big sip of Coke and swallowed all the food.
"He ate so happily." Falosa frowned.
"In this era, all kinds of things are abundant." Xu Yang also brought a bottle of Coke to Farosha.
"Wow..." Falosa took a sip and was very surprised, "What is this, so delicious?"
Everyone couldn't help but glance at Falosa, and couldn't help but wonder if Falosa had lost some basic memories.
"There are many good things." Xu Yang said with a smile.
Suddenly, a loud sound started coming from the connection.
"Citizens, I've been waiting for a long time!" was the person handing out "tickets" at the door.
"Tickets!" Zuo Hongchen didn't care too much. He put the food and drinks on his seat, rushed out with his body shaking, and almost fell down.
He ran toward the connection, but soon stopped because 20,000 people started moving together, and he felt he couldn't squeeze into the crowd.
The man in the red suit pressed the loudspeaker unit on his throat and spoke loudly.
"Due to the critical situation," he said, "citizens, after review, the company alliance has discovered the situation here, determined that a B-5 disaster occurred in Aizu Underground City, and decided to seal off Huicheng District. Now from Highland 26
Unable to enter Huicheng District.”
"What did you say?" Falosa asked.
"B-series disasters are biological disasters," Xu Yang explained, "from cross-regional species invasion to large biological invasions from other planets. This kind of rat-men running around is also considered a biological disaster, and then the number is the disaster level. The weakest is
Level 1, the scariest level is level 12.”
"B-5 level means it's not too serious?" Falosa calculated.
"Yes, it is not too serious for the company alliance. After all, no matter how large the casualties are, they are just numbers to them." Xu Yang pointed out the problem.
I heard that Huicheng District was ordered to be closed by the company alliance. There was a huge crowd and they were shouting loudly. It took a long time for the man in the red suit to calm everyone down.
"Don't worry! Citizens!" the man in the red suit said loudly, "We have countermeasures, please listen to my introduction!"
People fell silent and listened silently to the speech of the man in the red suit.
"To give back to our users for their long-term and unswerving support for our company, we are launching a special midsummer security 'instant service' service. Users who purchase our company's 50-year security package on-site can receive the 'lifeline' package, which not only allows them to go to

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
