On the city wall, stood a group of armed men in punk style or black suits and windbreakers.
Their clothes all have the obvious "Iron Cross" mark, which is the gang symbol of the "Iron Cross".
Every day in Old Town there are people who want to join gangs for various reasons, desperate criminals, murderers, people who want to get rich overnight, people who want to obtain extraordinary resources...
On the high wall, combatants who go hunting outside the city can often be recruited.
Gang leaders like to come here to recruit new members.
"I said Kai, can you please put away your [Blade] implant? You keep showing off like this, aren't you making people laugh at us 'Cross Society' professionals who have never seen the world? We are all captains,
Can you keep your focus..."
"Hey, Boss Smoker, I just successfully integrated the implants, so I'm a little excited."
"The gang leaders have assigned you to take care of the three blocks on Green Street. Be careful in the future. There are many gambling stalls and flower shops there. Although there is a lot of money and money, the old people in the gang have avoided it. You know why you are asked to take care of it.
Did the boy get a bargain?"
"Don't those guys from the 'Steam Party' like to make trouble lately? It's okay... If they dare to cross the line, I promise to chop off their heads, haha."
"It's good that you know what you're doing. It's not just the 'Steam Party' that's causing trouble. There have been more aberrations in the city recently. You'd better pay more attention. If you need help, let me know. I'm recruiting today.
Newcomers, you first pick a few that you like..."
"Thank you, Boss Smoker. Hehe, I hope I can receive a few today that can fight..."
"..."
The speaker was a middle-aged man with dark eyes. He was smoking a cigar and lying lazily on a chair.
Next to him stood a young man whose hands and feet were like "blade blades" emitting metallic sharp light.
Su Lun looked up and saw the two of them. Without much hesitation, he walked into the simple iron mesh hanging box and climbed onto the city wall.
.......
"New here? Want to join our 'Cross Society'?"
"Um."
"What is your name?"
"Suellen."
"What talent has been awakened?"
"[D-016-Eagle Eye]."
"Oh? So your marksmanship is not bad?"
"good."
"Okay, just follow me. You can call me Captain Kai."
"good."
The process of joining a gang is incredibly simple.
Suellen was asked a few simple questions and officially became a member of the "Brotherhood of Steel".
Sure enough, as the information from the previous interrogation showed, the gang will not care about your origin. After all, most people who join the gang have dirty backgrounds.
As long as you work hard for the gang, no one will care about your past.
In exchange for working hard, the gang can also provide you with shelter.
No one searched, no one questioned too much, no one was too nosy...
Su Lun also breathed a sigh of relief. The storage ring on his body was saved. However, some of the preparations made before to prevent accidents were useless. This was a good start.
.......
Captain Kai looks to be a few years older than Su Lun, but he seems to be an old man who has been in the gang for many years.
Those who can survive for many years in the gang are all capable people.
This Gekai is also an official "professional". At this moment, the agility system is integrated with the extremely offensive alchemy equipment - [Blade].
Su Lun watched everything silently, his eyes shining with anticipation and curiosity about this new world.
After waiting for a long time, the day's recruitment was coming to an end.
In addition to Su Lun, there were three other people selected by Kai.
One of the awakened ones is [D-082-Defense], one is [D-071-Stoneskin], and the other is [D-031-Enhanced Smell], all of which are more or less talents that can enhance combat.
"Let's go, boss smoker. I'll take the newcomers to the patrol area to show their faces..."
"Um."
Kai led Su Lun and others to greet the middle-aged man who never stopped smoking, and then descended from the city wall.
Su Lun remained silent the whole time, following behind him, quietly and transparently.
This young man named Kai is very talkative, and he seems to be very satisfied with his newly recruited subordinates.
As he walked, he distributed one or two stacks of banknotes to several people, and explained: "The welfare in the gang is twenty thousand liso per month. If there are tasks, we will pay according to the situation. Because we are a newly formed team, and recently
You don’t have to go out of town to hunt wilderness for three months, so you can enjoy it..."
Several newcomers got their first generous "salary" so easily.
Twenty thousand liso is already worth more than half a year's salary of an ordinary factory worker in the city.
Su Lun was slightly surprised. He didn't know this detail yet. But looking at the faintly excited expressions of the three people on the side, they didn't seem surprised.
You get paid first and work later. Compared to my previous life, this was considered an excellent treatment.
Is this still a gangster?
When Su Lun thought about it carefully, he understood.
In the gang, no gang member can guarantee that he will survive until the next month.
Paying money first means having fun first.
If something really happens, it's not a bad idea to die.
Moreover, after joining a gang, there are no restrictions, no custodial control, or even no restrictions on freedom at all.
Su Lun can even get the money and run away immediately...
But no one will do that.
Because he is wanted by the authorities, there is still a way to survive by joining a gang. If the three major gangs are wanted, Jiulington will no longer have any foothold.
There is only one way to die.
Therefore, for most people, once they join a gang, there is only one way to get into trouble.
But for Suellen, high casualty rate?
Tsk tsk, it doesn’t matter...
Compared to facing death, the ordinary world would make him feel more boring.
If his awakened [Reaper] talent wants to become stronger, he is destined to deal with death.
In order to avoid risks, become an ordinary person?
No, coming to such a wonderful and wonderful world and still being timid is really boring.
Su Lun looked at his slightly trembling pulse and knew that "he" also liked this world very much.
...
Su Lun and several newcomers followed captain Kai down the city wall and entered the city.
The city is full of dense shantytowns, and from a distance, it looks like a "Syrian post-war style".
Like high walls, the reinforced concrete buildings in the city are products of ancient times. The war thousands of years ago seems to have captured the city, and there are dilapidated buildings everywhere.
And above these ruins, the towering steam chimneys and steel container shantytowns are the "new buildings."
As for the inner city, at the end of the field of view, there is another high wall separating it, with bright lights. In the center of the inner city, there is a "black tower" of unknown height.
The city is very large, so you can take an open-top steam locomotive and drive all the way into the city.
On the motorcycle, Su Lun remained calm and observed everything in the city.
As a time traveler, he didn't dare to talk nonsense at all, for fear of letting people see that he was completely unfamiliar with this city.
But it was probably because Su Lun said that he had awakened the [Eagle Eye] talent, which is also one of the most practical combat abilities among D-level talents. Captain Kai seemed to like him very much, and said with special concern: "You...
In terms of talent, it is quite suitable for the gunner sequence profession. I will help you pay attention to the relevant "employment materials" when the time comes. Meditate more if you have nothing to do. When the dark spiritual power is full, you can change professions. We will try to have two "professionals" in our team.
'..."
Su Lun responded: "Yeah."
Kai didn't say much, and waved his hand: "Let's go, take everyone to visit our team's patrol area. If nothing else, beautiful women are absolutely indispensable!"
After saying this, the faces of the people in the car showed knowing smiles of men.
.......
Green Street is at the junction of Wellington District in the east city and Quinson District in the south city. It has one of the three most famous "entertainment districts" in Old Town.
Because there is a lot of oil and water, it is also a place where the two gangs of the "Cross Society" and the "Steam Party" frequently have conflicts and disputes.
The entertainment venues here are also mixed with all kinds of gamblers, hunters, desperadoes...
The order here is chaotic, gunfights and fights are commonplace, and unlucky people are found dead on the streets almost every day.
Su Lun and the others stopped at a place that looked like an old steel factory.
get off.
The leather boots stepped on the ground filled with sewage.
Su Lun also looked at the dark side of the city with a little curiosity.
Although there is no electricity in this world, there is no shortage of all kinds of luminous alchemical products. Not far away, there is a feasting scene, and various neon lights exuding ambiguous colors illuminate the streets brightly.
This is a gathering place for gangs, and a group of people have been waiting on the street for a long time. They wear leather clothes, leather pants, iron nails, colorful hair, and guns that are held casually like lighters.
Su Lun felt that his bald punk look blended in among these people, and he instantly fit in with the crowd.
"Hey, Captain Kai, you're back."
"Hey, this new batch of people looks good."
"Haha, why didn't the captain choose a female team member to come back..."
"..."
Kai greeted those people and then briefly introduced Su Lun: "This is Su Lun, Jige, Sapa, and Andrew... From now on, we will all be brothers."
The gang members were not so polite, and everyone bumped fists, and they were considered acquaintances.
You go straight to work on the first day you join. This is the efficiency of the gang.
Kai led Su Lun, four newcomers and a few old people, a total of more than ten people, and began to patrol the streets.
It's no different from the gangsters in the previous life. Go around the place they guard and show your face.
"From now on, our mission is to just go out and walk around the three blocks near Green Street every night. If we have something to do, we can go wherever we need to..."
Kai explained the "work content" to the newcomers in Surun.
Then, he sent out an alchemy gadget with a walkie-talkie function, and said: "Keep this 'communicator' with you at all times. I will call everyone when there is an emergency. You must remember to rush over as soon as possible, otherwise the gang rules will not be met."
Show mercy."
After a pause, he turned to the side and said to a strong man carrying a shotgun: "Sam, please explain the gang rules to the newcomers so that they don't understand the rules and cause trouble."
That Sam smiled and said: "Okay."
Su Lun also understood that the job content was very simple, just patrolling the streets like now.
We meet at seven o'clock in the evening and have about half an hour of "working time" every day. Then we can arrange the rest of the time by ourselves. Whether it's gambling or going to a pub, as long as people are within the confines of this street.
It looks easy.
.......
"Hey, Boss Clive, business is booming..."
"Boss Milton, I recently heard that you have a batch of good goods coming. Remember to save some beautiful ones for me and my brothers tonight."
"..."
The Cross controlled almost all the casinos on Green Street.
Kai and his gang were very familiar with each other on this street, and the madams and girls of the nightclubs they passed by greeted them warmly.
Su Lun was also surprised that this seemingly decadent industrial-style city actually had such a lively side. The liveliness of these flower gardens was not at all inferior to the large bars in the previous life, which were packed with people.
Groups of girls with heavy makeup stood on the street to attract customers. Their clothes were scantily clad, their long white legs and proud breasts were dazzling.
The streets are filled with a strong smell of astringency.
Bunny girl, cat girl costume, cheongsam girl with leg splits, motorcycle leather girl, maid outfit, bondage slave style, aristocratic lady style...
Su Lun also didn't expect that the clothing styles in Old Linton were so rich. Almost any sexy outfit that can stimulate men's hormone secretion can be seen here.
The girls are bold and sexy, and they don't hesitate to show off their delicate figures. They don't care at all about the men's dirty hands roaming around their bodies. Instead, when their hands reach high places, they will laugh coquettishly.
"Hey, Elena, you seem to have gained weight. No, no, no, I don't mean to dislike it, I just mean that your butt feels better~"
"Oh, Lisa, why haven't I seen you here recently? Are you hanging out with some man~"
"mua~Captain Kai, do you want to come and play tonight?"
"..."
Kai and a group of old people seemed to be familiar with the road, and they were joking among the flowers.
They are not only local snakes, but also regular customers here.
The rules of survival in Old Lington are very cruel, and civilians who cannot engage in combat occupations are very cheap. Here, you can find a good-looking girl for a night of fun for a few hundred liso.
Therefore, the gang's monthly salary of 20,000 liso can even allow people to hang around in Wenrou Village until they are drained out.
Su Lun and a few newcomers got to know each other.
.......
There are three main streets in Green Street.
Every corner here is filled with violence, love and illegal transactions...
I patrolled the street of pure romance, and then the street of pubs. Various colorful neon signs illuminated a world of bliss...
This street is mostly filled with pubs with a strong industrial style, and steel elements are in every corner of the pubs.
Su Lun was feeling that patrolling the streets was a bit boring, but something happened unexpectedly.
Passing by a place called "Elephant Tavern", a middle-aged man with a brown beard stopped Kai.
"Hey, Captain Kai, you came just in time. I have some trouble in my store and I need you to come and take a look."
The tavern owner led them to the back alley with a sullen expression, then pointed at the half-bloody corpse on the ground and said, "It must have been last night that an unlucky guy got drunk and slept in the back alley. Now you've seen it too."
, his body was bitten off in half by an unknown monster..."
This is the back alley of the tavern, filled with all kinds of empty wine bottles. Different from the glamor on the card, this place is full of filth, darkness and stench...
Su Lun's eyesight allowed him to clearly see the half of the corpse. There were jagged bite marks on the corpse, and it looked like it had been eaten by some large monster.
There are several dark sewer openings along the road at the corner, and that turbid stench is coming from there.
The boss seemed to be used to it, and continued to murmur: "Captain Kai, some monster seems to have appeared in the sewer... I have been hearing that homeless people have disappeared recently. It seems that they were taken away by some man-eating monster.
It’s made people panic... I’m afraid if it continues like this, it will affect our tavern’s business.”
"Oh, I understand the situation."
Kai looked at it and kicked the body into a trash can not far away.
The corpse will probably be eaten clean by rats in no time, and no one will care who dies.
His leather boots scraped against the ground, and Kai said again: "Boss Chuckman, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate."
With that said, he didn't stay long and led Su Lun and his party out of the "Elephant Tavern".
After leaving the tavern and walking on the street, a newcomer asked: "Captain, are we coming to investigate later?"
This was also Su Lun's doubt, he thought this was their job scope.
Unexpectedly, Kai smiled disapprovingly and responded: "Haha, investigation? The sewers in Old London are a thousand-year-old antique. The underground structure is ten times more complicated than the surface roads. No one can figure out the underground structure.
Structure. It’s a paradise for all kinds of deformed monsters. Who the hell wants to go to that stinking place..."
After a pause, he looked at the newcomers and said: "As long as those monsters don't come to the ground, we don't need to worry about it. We have this free time to investigate, so we might as well enjoy it..."
"Got it, Captain."
Obviously, this is what everyone wants, and no one is willing to take the risk.
.......
Fengyuechang, tavern, and then gambling stalls.
The group of people walked around the place on Green Street, like a dog peeing and announcing its territory, everyone showed their faces.
Not long after, they patrolled to a gambling stall where underground black boxing took place.
And when Su Lun saw a "grey fog" emerging from the body of the dead gladiator in the ring, his eyes lit up.
Finally not so boring anymore...
He knows that he will probably have something to do for a long time to come.
