Zhang Lang followed Jiao Yi through the streets of Xiacheng District.
Walking here, Zhang Lang can truly understand why Xiacheng District is said to be an abandoned area.
Crowding, poverty, darkness, and stench are the main themes here. People are in ragged clothes, have sallow complexions, and live in a toxin environment all year round. Some people have even mutated, giving birth to disgusting sarcomas and bones that pierce the skin.
It tortures them all the time.
Death and disease are even more common. No one cares about corpses lying on the ground, allowing them to be torn apart by the same mutated and ugly wild dogs and rats... Of course, most of the healthy parts and useful parts of the body will be killed by some sneaky figures first.
Take it away...
It is obviously full of death, but no matter where you go, you are crowded with people and bump into each other, revealing a stubborn vitality.
Dozens of square kilometers accommodate a population of nearly 30 million. Driven by instincts engraved deep in their genes, everyone hopes to pass on their bloodline before the end of this painful life.
, can a certain generation of my descendants escape from such a sea of suffering...
Of course, there are those who suffer and those who enjoy it!
While passing through a crowded market, Zhang Lang saw a group of vicious men wearing masks and with varying degrees of modification on their bodies, knocking over stalls that had not paid their "management fees" in time and beating the stall owners wantonly.
But the mechanical police officers passing by with guns in hand seemed not to notice and did not interfere at all.
"Although Xiacheng District is also covered by a mechanical police system, the number is not large. After all, there are too many people and they don't pay taxes..."
Jiao Yi explained:
"The original mechanical police were the same as those in Zhongcheng District, with strict law enforcement. However, they soon encountered resistance from countless gangs in Xiacheng District, and police officers were disconnected and destroyed almost every day. So later, the public transportation company changed
The mechanical police system in Xiacheng District is set up to intervene only when encountering vicious bloodshed. And these gangsters have also learned well. When in front of the police, they will be relatively restrained, at least they will not hurt anyone..."
The Public Transportation Company is the largest robot manufacturing company in the world. Zhang Lang learned from the Internet that the robot police systems in major cities around the world were built by this company.
Since arriving in Xiacheng District, Zhang Lang is still connected to the Tianluo network, but has turned off the communication function. This is to prevent people above from contacting him through Tianluo. It will be difficult to explain when the time comes, so he simply turns it off and pretends to be damaged.
Zhang Lang did not interfere in the evil deeds of this thug. This is the ecology of this world. The same thing happens every day and on every street.
This is not a world worthy of chivalry, and he does not yet have the capital to do so.
Finally, after crossing the streets and passing the buildings, witnessing the hustle and bustle everywhere, the two finally arrived at the area managed by Carpunk.
"This is his sphere of influence!"
Jiao Yi looked back at Zhang Lang:
"Honestly, you're really good! Even with the respiration filter installed, people from Zhongcheng District can't stand the pungent smell of poisonous mist when they unexpectedly come to Xiacheng District. I even vomited it out the first time I came down to work.
Yes, you didn’t even frown this whole time!”
Zhang Lang looked at him and didn't bother to explain to him that he wasn't pretending to be a reformer. He could only say perfunctorily: "My sense of smell is not sensitive..."
"In Xiacheng District, this is not a flaw, but a blessing!"
Jiao Yi shook his head and sighed, leading him through the stacked billboards, declining the eager invitation of the exaggeratedly dressed street girl, and arrived in front of a bar.
"Passing through this bar, inside the building is the Carpunk stronghold!"
While introducing, Jiao Yi led Zhang Lang into the bar, walked straight to the bar, and greeted the bartender:
"Hi, Winston, how are you doing?"
The bartender named Winston glanced at him: "It would be great if you paid me back the two hundred points you owe me..."
"Oh, what kind of relationship do we have? If you ask for money, it will be far away!"
Jiao Yi didn't seem to feel any shame at all, he just said to himself:
"Let me tell you, I got a big deal this time! Didn't you see the tall and mighty guy behind me? He has strong connections and can get special products. I brought him here to talk to the Carpunk boss.
Let’s talk about it, and when it’s done, don’t talk about your two hundred points, I’ll treat everyone here to a drink, no problem!”
"I asked you why you suddenly showed up. It turns out you were looking for the boss..." Winston rolled his eyes at him: "The boss has been very busy recently. If you have anything, tell me..."
"What can I talk about with you?" Jiao Yi said with a smile: "Brother, don't make trouble, let me go quickly..."
"Who made trouble with you?" Winston remained indifferent.
Jiao Yi's eyes changed a few times, and finally he gritted his teeth and took out a few crumpled banknotes from his pocket. He searched again and took out a few coins: "Winston, this is all I have with me. The rest are
The next few days will be delivered to you."
Winston counted these with squinting eyes. There were one hundred, twenty-eight and thirty-two minutes in total, and he still had to pay more than seventy points. However, thinking of Jiao Yi's stubborn nature, he still smiled: "I won't do this again.
!”
After saying that, he put his hand under the handle and pressed the hidden switch: "Go ahead, there are laser eyes inside. How you get through it depends on you!"
"Thanks buddy!"
Jiao Yi laughed, pulled Zhang Lang into the back kitchen, passed all the way, and finally came to the hall inside. He also saw the reformers playing cards. The leader with laser eyes raised his head and saw Jiao Yi
, showing a meaningful smile.
"I can actually let you in. It seems that Winston's money has been paid back?"
"Oh, what kind of friendship do I have with Winston?" Jiao Yi said familiarly: "Brother Laser, will Brother Carpunk be busy now? I will introduce him to a new dream agent. He can get a lot of ordinary people.
Something you can’t get!”
"Dream agent?" Laser Eyes looked at Zhang Lang and said with a smile: "There is no mechanical modification in the whole body. Even the brain chip is external. There are not many pure humans like you these days..."
"Pure human?" Hearing this word, Jiao Yi was obviously stunned for a moment, but he remembered that Zhang Lang didn't wear a breathing mask all the way, and just followed here breathing in poisonous gas!
"Strictly speaking, I am not a pure human being..." Zhang Lang said calmly.
"Oh? The latest biochemical modification?"
The red pupil of the laser eye dilated: "Then you are worth much more than us!"
As he spoke, he showed off his arms, revealing the steel frame and the hydraulic rods that replaced the muscles.
And the mechanical transformations playing cards around him also stood up.
