The short man did not let him in directly. Instead, he closed the door first, asked the people in the back of the room before opening the door again, and warned: "Don't mess around, there are armed robots everywhere in the room."
Inside is a small living room, similar to an ordinary one-bedroom apartment in Area 014. There are four armed robots standing in such a narrow space. Judging from the appearance, it has been modified. The chest and abdomen parts of one of the robots are directly exposed.
The circuits and chips that arrived seemed to have been repaired, and it was obviously not the first time they had been modified.
Although these robots look old, they carry a lot of weapons.
The short man pointed to the sofa in the living room, "If you have something to talk to the teacher via video."
Xu Huo sat down, and a communication device in the corner came over automatically. After the camera lit up, a business card appeared on the screen.
"Let's talk about the matter first, then negotiate the price." said the man on the other side.
Xu Huo didn't care whether he could see anyone. He said to the communication device: "I learned about you from an old gentleman. I have a very important call tomorrow morning. During this period, I don't want anyone to be able to pass the message collection."
Terminal locates me or interrupts me."
"This matter is very risky. You may be discovered by the district government, and I will not be able to take care of your safety afterwards."
"Why does the district government want to investigate you?" The person who spoke was a short man. He wiped the robot next to him with a rag, and stared at Xu Huo from time to time.
"Because tomorrow morning I want to disclose the truth about how the district government and the mining group jointly concocted a mine 130 years ago to obtain human bone gemstones." Xu Huo said calmly.
There was silence in the room, and after a while a voice came from the communication device, "Do you have evidence?"
"There is no substantial evidence," Xu Huo said, "so I hope that the district government can come forward to confirm my words through the conversation tomorrow morning."
What he said was a shock to everyone in Area 019. The short man's eyes widened, his mouth opened and closed repeatedly, and he tried to speak many times but was unable to say anything.
After a long while, the person on the other side of the communication device said, "Have you found Xiaxi Duolaiti's body?"
Xu Huo covered Xia Xi Duolaiti's head with his fingers and showed the photo.
The communication device was closed from the other end. Half a minute later, the bedroom door opened, and a woman wearing a thick plush hat controlled a wheelchair to move out. She looked thin and old, but her wrinkled face had a pair of eyes.
Sharp as a knife:
"If you can reveal the truth about how the district government harms ordinary people, I will help you unconditionally."
There was silence in the living room for a few seconds, then Xu Huo asked, "Do you also have relatives who died in the mining accident?"
"Tiantian is in the ditch", that is to say, the old man in front of him has a solemn face, "better than a relative."
Xu Huo nodded. Before he came, he specifically checked with Mr. Yue. He roughly knew a little about the old man's past. The victims in the mining accident were not completely marginalized people in society. There will always be some people who have some social relationships. Among them
What is more special is probably the part where the disabled people huddle together for warmth.
It is not clear who the person whom the old man calls "relative" is, but after a certain mining accident, she went to the district government many times to ask for pensions. Due to procedural issues, her journey to get money was very bumpy. Mr. Yue probably also had it at the time.
He collected evidence to confirm his guess about the truth of the mining accident, so he conducted follow-up investigations on some relevant personnel. This "Tian Tian in the ditch" who is now very famous among the "Storm Factor" group in District 019 is one of them.
"Storm factor" is equivalent to the hacker referred to in District 014. Due to the development of science and technology, the operation mode of Jixin terminal is very different from that of the more backward districts. Therefore, the behavior of hackers can often cause uncontrollable chain reactions. This chain reaction
It was called "Storm", and the hackers who contributed to this chain reaction called themselves "Storm Factor", and the name became widely recognized.
Seeing that she and the short man were in poor health, and thinking that they were well-known and had good incomes, but still lived in such a simple place, Xu Huo added: "Once they are found out or other accidents occur,
You may not be able to stay in Area 019 anymore, and the medical equipment in other areas may not be as good as here."
The old man took off the hat on her head. It turned out that the plush hat, which seemed to be unnaturally thick, was actually only a thin layer in order to cover her overly large head.
The head has evolved abnormally. Apart from mutants, Xu Huo has only seen this condition in one person. However, compared to Meng Cun who had to continuously drain out the water in his brain, the old man's condition seemed much better.
Touching the smooth top of her head, she said: "How long do you think I can live like this?"
"Tian Tian's father and I are both orphans left behind by gamers. I am lame and he is deaf. We were already in our teens when our parents died. The government doesn't care about us because we are not old enough and it is difficult for us to find jobs. OK?
It is easy to grow up in a difficult way, but my head grew rapidly due to taking illegal evolution agents, and I had no money for medical treatment. Tiantian's father and I went begging, stealing, and being used as test subjects in underground laboratories, barely surviving."
"Soon the underground laboratory was destroyed, and as victims, we both received a large sum of money. This money will allow me to live for a while, and we are going to get married."
"At this time, we picked up Tiantian again. Tiantian was abandoned because of a congenital disease. We couldn't bear to see him die in the orphanage, so we brought him back to raise him."
"In order to make more money, the mines offer very high wages when recruiting workers. Tiantian's father has passed away, and my illness can be delayed for a while, but if Tiantian doesn't have a craniotomy before he is ten years old, he will have to undergo a craniotomy for the rest of his life."
Suffering from illness, even though we all knew there would be no pie in the sky, he still went, and I let him go."
"He died like that!" The old man clutched his hat tightly and gritted his teeth: "We can't even find the body!"
Her mood swings were so intense that the short Tiantian poured her a glass of water, but she refused to drink it. Instead, she continued: "How ridiculous. When I went to find his body, I happened to see the rescue team accidentally emerge from the ground.
A gem in the shape of a human bone was dug up..."
"That's when I fully understood that there are no charity people, only money to buy human lives!"
"But I also have to get this money." The old man was very sad. "Without the pension, I can't live, and Tiantian can't live. Tiantian's father died for both of us, and we can't let his death be in vain. They don't have regular money."
The procedure didn't recognize our kinship and they wouldn't give me the money, so I asked Tian Tianle for it, and asked the government for it. It bothered them, and they had to deal with me. Finally, I finally got the money.
It’s enough to pay for Tiantian’s surgery.”
"At that time, I felt that God had given me a glimmer of hope, but before I walked two streets away, my money was robbed. The person who robbed me completely broke both of my legs. He said that he would never let me go back to the hospital for the rest of my life.
Show up at the gate of the district government!”
