"Haha, twenty people? Only Kai, a professional, is a little more difficult. The other newcomers are nothing to be afraid of."
"But the boy who was very close to the "Four-Armed Rakshasa" Senjo before should be more careful. If you have the chance, kill him first to avoid any accidents."
"Yes, Captain Kuntu."
"..."
As soon as Kai gathered his gang to deal with the aberration incident, the "Steam Brotherhood" got the news and quietly ambush near the Tongzi Tower.
The desperate escape from the Elephant Tavern last time has become a source of ridicule for "Red Haired" Kuntu in the gang circle, which has recently made him embarrassed to show up in front of his peers.
Now that Qian Jiao is no longer on Green Street, they are ready to take action again.
.......
Although the city is much safer than outside the city, abnormal incidents often occur.
Old Linton City is an ancient ruins. Even after so many years of cleaning and excavation, some "cursed objects" whose curse properties have not been completely dissipated are still found underground from time to time. These things are good things for professionals, but for ordinary people
To put it simply, it is a nightmare like a radiation source, which can easily induce distortion.
There is also the air in the city. Although the dark spiritual power content is thinner than outside the city, it is enough to induce a small chance of distortion;
Hunters who have consumed contaminated food and drinking water and returned from hunting in high-distortion environments, for various reasons... Anyway, several distortion incidents occur in major neighborhoods almost every month.
And the frequency seems to have quietly increased in recent months.
Of course, the most troublesome thing is professionals who are out of control.
The essence of "distortion" is that the dark spiritual power in the body is out of control, destroying the person's will, and then turning the body into a giant-looking monster, or other special forms.
After the deformation, the dark spiritual power in the human body will have no limit and will increase rapidly. Therefore, the professional who becomes a monster will be several times more powerful than they were in life, which is very difficult.
There is no city guard or public security department in the outer city, and all abnormal incidents within the jurisdiction are handled by gangs.
Therefore, this is also the daily work of the Green Street Cross Society members.
Not long after the assembly order was issued, Su Lun had already arrived at the broken building.
Recently, more than ten new people have joined, making up for the gang members who were killed in the previous battle to support the headquarters.
The assembly was very efficient. Before long, there were nearly twenty people in front of the building.
Su Lun was half an old man, and he was a little surprised when he saw that almost all the "newcomers" gathered in front of the ruined building.
After waiting for a while, Kai counted the number of people and said as crisply as ever, "Okay, everyone is here, ready to go."
Dealing with aberration incidents is a good practical experience. After listening to Sam and the veterans, Su Lun knew that this time, the captain planned to take the new people to Kaikai to practice actual combat.
Everyone got on the motorcycle. Kai explained the content of the operation and said: "It is said that many homeless people have disappeared over the Tongzilou in the past few days. Some people have seen corpses that have been eaten, and they have also seen deformed bodies.
Monster... It may be that the seal in a nearby sewer was broken and a monster ran out, or it may be that a 'cursed object' appeared. Anyway, our mission this time is to clean up the basement near the Tongzilou incident. Luck.
If you are good, you may be able to find antique cursed objects buried underground; if not, you can get a few cursed materials. At that time, everyone will have bonus points..."
After saying that, he waved his hand: "Let's go."
Everyone nodded: "Yes, Captain!"
Su Lun was as transparent as ever and said nothing.
Although "abnormal incidents" are daily emergencies faced by gangs, they are not without casualties, especially for inexperienced newcomers.
Su Lun was not careless at all.
He observed the people in the team and checked that his equipment was correct, and then silently boarded the locomotive carrying several veterans.
.......
In addition to the three bustling entertainment streets on Green Street, there is also a cluster of tube buildings on the north side, which is a "slum" in a civilian area.
That piece of ancient architectural ruins from a thousand years ago preserved some shabby tube buildings that were still habitable, and therefore gathered a large number of homeless poor, vagrants and thieves. But it was a place where even gangsters were reluctant to set foot.
, plague, stench, filth and distortion are synonymous with that area...
Everyone on Green Street rushed all the way to Tongzi Tower, where people were already waiting.
"Captain Kai, you are here!"
The person who spoke was a little old man wearing linen clothes, "One-Eyed" Bravo. This guy is also the leader of thieves in the Green Street area. He has dozens of young men under him all year round, who specialize in learning some stealing techniques to make money.
Those with talents will also be sent to gangs to be trained as professionals.
It can be regarded as a personnel transportation organization affiliated with the Cross Society.
Kai nodded. He was familiar with the old man, so he asked politely, "Old man, where is the accident?"
Bravo: "You guys come with me."
The little old man led a group of people through the ruins.
The air was filled with a thick stench of sewerage.
Su Lun glanced at the surrounding environment from time to time, and saw sallow and thin human faces emerging from the simple shacks, staring at them curiously and timidly.
These are the residents in Tongzilou.
There were also some children aged ten or eight, wearing rags and stepping barefoot on the ruins. They followed the group on Green Street from a distance, their eyes full of envy and longing.
There are many such poor people in the outer city. No one knows the exact number, but it is huge anyway.
Their lives were as cheap as rye, with one hundred liso buying a human life. Only sewer rats could survive in such a harsh living environment, but they managed to survive with tenacity.
The poor people in these shantytowns are also one of the most important reasons why the inner cities give up on regulating these urban areas.
The Cross Society occasionally sends a batch of food.
Because many gangsters come out of here.
At least that's the case with Captain Kai.
The little old man sighed as he walked: "Hey... I don't know what happened recently. The monsters in the sewers seem to be very active. A few days ago, someone heard that some beautiful and borderless woman had arrived in Snail Alley, haha
...I looked at it, maybe it was some kind of deformed monster that was tempting people to eat... Sure enough, within a few days, all the homeless people in that area disappeared."
Su Lun was listening behind him, with thoughts in his eyes.
Beautiful women will be in the custom shops on Green Street, but they will never appear here.
But...what kind of deformed monster can turn into a beautiful woman?
This again involves Su Lun’s knowledge blind spot.
.......
Not long after, the little old man led everyone on Green Street to the northernmost section of Tongzi Tower.
The sewer smell here is stronger, and it seems to be close to some pipe outlets.
The little old man pointed to a black tube building a few hundred meters away and said: "Some people saw deformed monsters appearing in that rotten building before. They move more frequently when the fog appears at night. But you should also be careful, that area
There is a cave under the rotten downstairs, and the depths seem to be connected to the underground network. I don’t know what kind of monsters are hidden there, so don’t go too deep.”
After hearing this, Kai waved his hand and said, "Okay, leave the rest to us."
Next is the matter of the combatants.
He fired the bolt of the gun, and then said to everyone in Su Lun behind him: "Brothers, let's get to work!"
The little old man didn't hesitate and stayed where he was.
Everyone put on gas masks and night vision goggles and strode into the broken building.
Su Lun took the shotgun distributed by the gang and loaded it with a click.
Compared with pistols, this kind of scattering musket is more suitable for dealing with aberrant monsters. Even without alchemical bullets, a few more shots can beat the monster to pieces.
