Chapter 343: Zaun Twenty Years Ago

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Lin Luo took a deep breath and said:

"Do you remember it so clearly? Are you sure you remember it correctly?"

Aman nodded seriously and she said softly:

"I will never remember it wrong! I clearly remember that day, the rain in Zaun was particularly terrible. It was because the poisonous gas and sewage in Pi City caused the poisonous cloud above Zaun to riot, leading to a terrible

Industrial acid rain fell..."

Aman murmured, as if falling into memories:

"That terrible acid rain almost paralyzed the entire Zaun."

"I have never seen such terrible rain, it will kill people if it falls on them..."

"The rain was heavy and long, lasting for half a month... Even those powerful heroes of Zaan had to be stopped by the acid rain..."



Boom!

An explosive thunder resounded in the poisonous mist of Zaun.

Twenty years ago, Zaun ushered in a terrible industrial acid rain.

"Damn it! Those bastards from Pi City are getting more and more arrogant! They actually launched a large-scale acid rain, let's just fight them!!"

Angry curses sounded in the distance of the ditch.

In the Zuan breathing station, a black man with dreadlocks came over cursing.

Next to him was a bouncing yordle, carrying a bomb on his back and speaking in a very fiery tone.

"Ike, that's the industrial acid rain launched by Piltover! It seems that the war is urgent. They know that we are going to war, and they are suppressing us."

The black guy’s name is Ike, and he is a very famous Wildfire Gang boss in Zaun.

He sneered:

"Hmph! I know what they mean. They just want to use some means to punish Zaun. But this time we have developed the third-generation alchemy technology in advance. Dr. Victor's third-generation alchemy troops have been assembled. Piltover is still the second-generation Hex technology.

, we will definitely be able to easily win and occupy that city-state!!"

Having said this, Ike showed an excited smile:

"This year is destined to leave a mark in history. I want to call it the 'Zun Alchemy Revolution'! If a few more decades pass, the next generation of Zaun will miss us, Ziggs,

Jinx, Ike...and Dr. Victor, we will be remembered as heroes, hahahaha!!!"

Ike was laughing proudly, and the yordle bomber also laughed.

Then at this moment, a plain voice came over:

"It's not that simple. In order to prevent this war, Pi City used large-scale acid rain, which prevented our mechanical army from advancing for at least half a month. This undoubtedly delayed their time."

Dr. Victor appears here holding a mechanical staff and wearing steel.

He said in a deep voice:

"The scientists in Piltover must be working day and night to develop the third generation of Hex technology. If we don't succeed in this battle, we will die. Our main force, Jinx, must... wait..."

Victor's voice suddenly turned cold:

"Where's Jinx? Why is this crazy girl running around again?"



Zuan.

Ditch.

The terrible industrial acid rain is raging crazily here.

This leaves the poor ditch orphans here with no hope of survival.

A thin and long figure walked out of the darkness. She had long blue hair hanging down to her ankles and was tied into two braids. She was carrying a huge machine gun and heavy artillery on her back. She came here alone.

She is Jinx, and she is here for a very important reason.

That's her sister who works as a police officer in Piltover, and she's going to give her some inside information today.

"Sister, Pi City has issued a death order."

A figure standing under the rugged boulders turned around.

This boulder forms a huge natural umbrella, blocking the acid rain falling from the sky.

Many groups of ditch orphans are shivering here, firstly to avoid acid rain, and secondly because the temperature is too cold and they can only huddle together for warmth. These orphans are more like a bunch of cockroaches than a bunch of people.

, this is extremely common in Zaun.

The two met under the boulder, and Jinx asked:

"What order?"

Wei, who was wearing the uniform of a Piltover law enforcement officer, said in a deep voice:

"All the passages to Piltover have been closed, and all three major lifting devices have been deactivated. All pipes used to discharge poisonous gas and sewage have been blocked by Piltover. Now the Zaans have no way to get to Piltover.

, this battle is not easy to fight!”

Opposite her, Jinx smiled nonchalantly, looking a little crazy, her scarlet eyes flashing:

"It's not easy to fight, but we have to fight! The upgrade device is disabled and the sewer pipe cannot be smuggled across. We just climb up the cliff. You know me, I'm not afraid of these."

"But sister, you are too happy too soon! Piltover is not as weak as you think. I am now on duty in Piltover, and I know the strength there best. You will most likely never come back. I am not kidding!"

Wei gritted her teeth and grasped the other party's shoulders.

"Oh, so what?"

Jinx smiled and pointed at the ditch orphans squatting on the ground beside her:

"Let Zaun continue like this? Do you want more and more poor homeless children like this? Or have you been brainwashed by the guys in Piltover and think we should surrender to our fate and give up resistance? Tsk tsk... Not everyone agrees.

Just like you, you can be favored by the big shots in Piltover and become a master, my stupid sister."

The ditch orphan squatting in the crowd had no idea what the big sister carrying a machine gun and cannon was pointing at him.

But when they saw Jinx stretching out her hand, she stood up excitedly like a beggar, her eyes shining with excitement!

They subconsciously thought that Jinx wanted to give them something to eat.

Seeing this scene, Wei showed a sad expression.

This is the norm in Zuan, and even more so in the ditch.

Jinx smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly:

"Did you see it, sister? This is your hometown, this is Zaun! This is a humble place where when you reach out, the children here will beg for food from you like dogs. What else can we do? We can only

Starting a war is the only choice to resist fate!"

But Wei said angrily:

"I am doing this for your own good, sister... Your strength is not enough. Do you have to fight to death?"

Jinx shook her head stubbornly:

"No, I firmly believe that we can win! Dr. Victor has developed three generations of alchemy technology. This is our only chance!"

Jinx took out a large amount of dry food from the pocket behind her and threw it towards the ditch orphans!

An extremely petite figure rushed to the front, and she caught several of them. This was the food she needed to survive.

This girl has short brown hair, her eyes are as smart as a sparrow, and her agility is ridiculously fast.

This made Jinx smile:

"This kid is good. He will definitely live past the age of fifteen."

"I can't get enough of it."

Wei crossed her arms, shook her head and said:

"She only has speed but no strength, so she will be useless in front of head-on competition."

A huge fist hit on the spot, and the little girl was hit hard on the back of the head and flew away. Tears flowed out, and all the dry food in her hand was robbed.

Wei shrugged:

"Shall I say?"

Jinx raised her eyebrows and said with disdain:

"If you have strength but no brains, if you meet someone stronger, you will inevitably be beaten to death."

But surprisingly, the two of them only commented but did not interfere in all this.

Instead, the older child was allowed to beat the little girl.

This is also the survival rule of Zu'an Diggy. You can only rely on yourself for everything.

At this moment, a vicious figure suddenly rushed over!

A girl with long black hair suddenly rose up like a poisonous snake, holding a sharp stone in her hand, and hit the big boy on the head hard. The blood flow suddenly stopped, and the latter screamed in pain and fell to the ground, turning his head.

At first glance, he saw a pair of extremely fierce eyes.

Those snake-like eyes frightened the big man. He swallowed, fear emerged in his heart, and handed her the dry food obediently.

Jinx and Wei's eyes lit up at the same time, and they praised at the same time:

"With strength and speed, I guess she can join the gang at the breathing station and use her strength to support herself."

However, at this time, things were not over.

Because the other ditch orphans were frightened by the bloody scene.

The bloodshed was very frightening to the young ditch orphans, and they began to become agitated one after another.

A small riot seemed about to break out.

But at this moment, the little girl with stern eyes looked around, as if she had thought of something. She suddenly put away the dry food and distributed it one by one, including the older child who was beaten by him.

For a moment, the restless ditch orphans became quiet.

The little girl took more dry food and left quietly.

Obviously, it wasn't because she was kind, but because she didn't want the crowd to riot, so she stopped it.

"Tsk...it's really good."

At this time, Wei suddenly praised him and said:

"I underestimated her. This girl not only has speed and strength, but also brains. I now feel that she can become the boss of the breathing station."

She came to the little girl and knelt down, brushed away her messy hair, and asked with a smile:

"Tell me, what's your name?"

The girl looked extremely nervous, and her pupils began to shrink, as if she felt an indescribable sense of crisis.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not in danger."

Wei asked again:

"May I have your name?"

The little girl swallowed and said nervously:

"My name is...Aman."



…………

"You are not going anywhere for the next half month."

Wei stood under the huge rock and said loudly:

"What I'm going to say next will affect your lives. There's terrible acid rain falling outside right now. The last time there was acid rain, tens of thousands of poor ghosts like you died in Zu'an, so if you want to survive, just be good to me.

Just stay here and wait for the acid rain to pass before you go out to look for food. Do you hear what I say?"

There were only three voices that answered her, and they were the three children who had made a deep impression on her before.

She only found out after asking.

These three children are called Xiaochun, Ahu, and Aman.

"This may be a good thing for you. At least during this period, someone will take care of you for a while. Cherish these fifteen days."

After Wei finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Next, these ditch orphans found out.

Zaun ushered in a terrible acid rain, which was fatal to them.

It seemed like the people above had deliberately dropped the rain in order to prevent the Zaun people from climbing up.

However, these two sisters seem to be very kind-hearted and come to take care of them every day.

Of course, it's not taking care of me. It's just like the first time, throwing out food and watching them snatch it.

It is worth mentioning that during this period, a child who did not know whether to live or die rashly broke into the acid rain and was corroded into a human shape within a few hundred meters.

Only Aman had an almost perverted sense of danger since she was a child. Her pupils shrank to the size of a pinhead. At this moment, she instantly realized that the two sisters had not lied to her.

The world of pouring acid rain is too dangerous for her to set foot in.

"What's wrong, Aman."

A voice that sounded like a smile but not a smile sounded nearby, and the blue-haired sister came over and said:

"Zu'an is like this. What you encounter when you grow up will be countless times more dangerous than this. Are you afraid?"

Aman swallowed, shook her head slightly and said:

"I'm not afraid."

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Because there is no point in being afraid, only cowards are afraid!"

Jinx looked at her in wonder, suddenly kissed her on the forehead, hugged her and said:

"Aman, you are so cute, I just like children like you!"

Aman was hugged by her and stayed in place like a tree.

She felt a warmth that had never appeared in her heart, but it was quickly blown away by the cold wind of acid rain.

Because she knew that the warmth was only temporary, and these sisters would leave in fifteen days.

"Little Aman, it's not easy to survive in Zaun, especially for you ditch orphans."

Jinx sat on the ground with her legs crossed, she stretched and said:

"However, since you like me so much, I will teach you some knowledge about how to survive."

she asked:

"What kind of city is Zaun?"

Little Aman shook his head blankly:

"have no idea……"

"Let me tell you now, Zaun is a city that relies on technology for its livelihood. Although it is poor, it is not backward. As long as your brain is strong enough, the people above will ask you to become a scientist... Of course, this may be a bit far for you. In short,

The acid rain will stop for fifteen days now. During this period, I will teach you some basic physics knowledge. It’s up to you how much you can learn. Do you hear me?"

Little Aman said obediently:

"heard it."

Even Jinx didn't expect that little Aman had a terrifying learning ability.

This ability gave her the feeling of a withered plant frantically absorbing the nutrients of knowledge endlessly.

The desire and speed of learning made her thrilling and even terrifying.

Only five days.

Little Aman has learned the most basic physics knowledge.

In the next five days, Jinx tried to teach her some advanced scientific knowledge, and she mastered all these profound logical theories with ease.

So much so that Jinx was completely shocked. She was so shocked that she personally brought her to Victor's side.

"This child is a genius! She will definitely become a scientist!!"

Jinx shouted to Victor excitedly.

Unfortunately, the result is of course regrettable.

Aman only has learning ability but no innovation ability, which is destined to mean that she will not become an outstanding scientist.

But even so.

In just fifteen days, Aman learned more knowledge than he had from birth to now.

This knowledge may not mean much to adults.

But among children of the same age, in fact, among the orphans of the ditch, Aman, who was already ruthless and able to fight, gained an advantage in knowledge.

A lot can happen in fifteen days.

For example, many people have found that those gutter orphans who have no independent opinions will subconsciously listen to Aman when they see her.

Whatever she does, everyone else follows suit.

Among them are Xiaochun, who is as clever as a sparrow, and Ahu, who is as brute as a giant bear.

They were all impressed by Aman and followed her willingly, calling her eldest sister.

A small group of ditch orphans was born inadvertently.

No one would have expected that it was precisely because of this acid rain that Aman met an unforgettable noble man.

It's like a savage sprout growing out of a land with extremely harsh environment. After absorbing a few nutrients, it begins to grow crazily, giving people a terrifying vitality.

From this day on, Aman will lead these ditch orphans to step by step become the most tyrannical gang in the ditch.

As Aman and these children grow up, this gang will begin to devour and annex the remaining ditch orphans, and after a few years, develop into a group of thugs, thieves, liars, pimps, hooligans, and gangsters.

, a new gang that combines trolls.

This gang will one day break into the breathing station, kill the owner of the Shimmer Bar, and occupy this place.

And Aman will completely become the leader of the entire lower class of Zaun.

This is survival of the fittest.

Zaun’s ultimate survival rules.



"Aman, this girl has great potential, I am very optimistic about her!"

Jinx said this, introducing her to the rest of the people.

She likes little Aman very much because, like herself, she will become crazy when she is in a desperate situation, resulting in terrible explosive power.

This has nothing to do with age, people with similar personalities will become good friends.

Little Aman raised his head and looked at the strange faces. They all exuded a terrible sense of power.

"But after the acid rain is over, we will leave, and then you will have to rely on yourself."

On this day, Jinx took Aman to the breathing station.

They stood on the highest roof of the bar, looking up at the poisonous cloud.

Jinx pointed to the back of the poisonous cloud and said:

"Ninety-nine percent of the people in Za'an have never seen anything above the poison cloud. That's where everyone wants to go, but our enemies live there."

Aman said puzzledly:

"Since they are all enemies, why would the Zaun people yearn for anything?"

Jinx smiled nervously and said:

"Because the life there is so happy! There is fresh air, lovely pets, sweet snacks, and more importantly, life safety is guaranteed there... How many people yearn for it, it is simply paradise!

"

Aman opened her mouth and said doubtfully:

"So you are going up there...to live a happy life?"

Everyone was amused by Aman, even Dr. Victor gave a metallic laugh.

Ike said loudly:

"Silly boy, we are going to fight!"

Bomberman chuckled and said:

"What innocent dolls, I will definitely blow them up!"

Aman was even more puzzled:

"Since it is heaven, why not live a happy life but go to war?"

"Haha, you're still young...you wouldn't understand even if I told you!"

Jinx rubbed Aman’s head and said:

"You just need to know that if the Zaun people want to live a good life, they have to keep climbing up!"

Her expression suddenly became serious and she said to Aman:

"Especially poor children like you from the ditch, Aman! From the time you were born, if you want to live, you must climb out of the ditch. After climbing out of the ditch, you have to continue climbing to the breathing station. After climbing to the breathing station, you have to go

The middle level of Zaun...you need to keep climbing up, and one day, you can climb out of Zaun and climb over the poisonous cloud..."

Jinx took a deep breath and said:

"If one day you can go to that city in person... you will know why we go to the place above the poison cloud and why we fight, even at the cost of our lives!"

Aman shook his head and said:

"I do not understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand. You are still a child after all."

She suddenly squatted down, hugged Aman and said:

"So Aman, please live well. If we leave and never come back, Zaun's hope will all be pinned on people like you. If Zaun still has hope at that time."

After saying that, she kissed Aman gently on his forehead.

This time, Aman felt more warmth in his heart, because the cold acid rain had stopped.

But this also means.

These adults who take care of them are leaving here.

"Aman, remember what I said, don't bow to anything, and climb up step by step. Only in this way will there be hope for Zaun!"

Before leaving, Jinx finished her last words, waved to Aman, turned around and walked into the unknown darkness.

Aman stood there blankly, as if he was in endless darkness.

She watched helplessly as a warm light was getting further and further away from her. From this moment on, a small seed of faith was firmly planted in Aman's heart.

She wants to climb up endlessly!

If the path of life requires motivation, then this is her biggest motivation.
