Case used to be the main supplier of these 'rats'. Gas masks, gas detectors, and various bright flashlights all flowed out of her hands. The most important thing is that those on the market
Merchants will not extend the market to the underground world.
So, everything relies on Case's hand-made masks, such as gas masks. The gas masks on the market are either too expensive or have insufficient performance. What about Case's? They are cheap and easy to use. After all, Case makes them from scraps!
Anyway, there are no supervisory agencies in the underground world, and no one will make irresponsible remarks about her products. It is very free.
This makes Case a bit like a green-skinned tech tycoon. The products in its hands focus on arbitrary shapes, all kinds of weird shapes, and special customization. No two products are the same.
"Jin? It's been a long time since I've been here. Why, where did you go to get rich?" Keith was still sitting in her 'small shop' today waiting for customers to come to her door. Some time ago, she upgraded Liz's Nightingale and installed an additional set.
The new type of sonic cannon caused Case's small treasury to bottom out. And her big financial backer Kai did not come home for many days. She could only work hard to make money to make up for the gap in her small treasury. Otherwise, many of her researches
There is no way to proceed.
The person visiting Case at the moment was a black man. He was short and fat, with a flat head and a big face. His most obvious feature was his teeth. When he grinned, a gap was exposed between the two most conspicuous front teeth.
His two front teeth seemed to be separated, and the gap between them was extremely large.
Jin is a very special person. He always makes himself look harmless, so he always smiles to everyone, especially his funny front teeth, which greatly reduces his threat, even if he is a homeless person.
Not many people would particularly care about him.
But today, his trademark smile is gone.
"Keith, do you still have those things here?" Jin said in a low voice with a stern face.
Case was stunned. She looked at Jin carefully, probably to see if the man in front of her was someone she knew. Then she looked behind him and found that there was no one. So she immediately pressed the button under her desk.
.
The entrance to the underground passage was blocked by a thick steel door.
"Where... did you get the news, Jin? I don't remember that I spread such news to the outside world." Keith said with a serious expression.
Case rarely made such an expression. You must know that this girl is a bit crazy. Seriousness has never had anything to do with her.
"Who am I? Case! I am the Beggar King!!"
A beggar... returns to the throne? What is that? Of course he is still a beggar.
But Jin said it very seriously, even with pride.
Bowery King, this is King's real name. He is different from ordinary people. He is not an outsider, but a native underground man! In fact, the main population of New York's underground city does not rely on natural reproduction... In fact, giving birth to children here,
Basically, they are looking for death. So apart from gas masks, the best-selling product in the dungeon is actually the rubber cover. After all, this is a dungeon. No matter how mysterious or interesting you describe it, there is one problem that cannot be avoided, that is, this is the place.
The sanitary conditions are ten thousand times worse than those in toilets outside!
Therefore, it is not uncommon for people here to have any kind of disease, and AIDS and the like are even more common. So it is good for everyone to prepare some rubber condoms. Even if you have forced sex here, you will automatically and consciously wear those things.
There is no way, there are no words on the faces of sick people.
Therefore, there are very few children in the underground city... because it is difficult for ordinary children to survive. Whether it is bad conditions or the evil of human nature, a child can die silently. Of course, there are no exceptions, that is, some people
Children who are sheltered can have a hard time surviving.
Therefore, most of the people in the underground city are from above ground, and only a very few are local aborigines. Bowery King is such a person. His parents fled to the underground city for some reasons a long time ago... As for
No one knows what the reason is. After all, no one here is here to record history. Even the future is not important to them, and the past is even less important. No one will get to the bottom of it.
All in all, Bowery King was born here, grew up here, and established his own underground kingdom.
He called himself the Beggar King.
This name has now been gradually recognized in the underground city, and he does have two skills. He controls the external trade of the underground city, and he can obtain a lot of scarce materials in the underground city. It is said that this guy also controls some underground fortresses.
During the peak of the Cold War in the 1950s and 1960s, the United States, under the threat of world war pressure, took one step ahead of China and launched a nationwide movement to "dig holes deeply and accumulate food widely." At that time, many American families were
Driven by fear, they funded the construction of various "fallout shelters" in their own backyards.
The U.S. government immediately launched a corresponding tax-free policy and began to mobilize people to actively build basements to serve as shelters in nuclear war. At the same time, the U.S. Civil Defense Department began to distribute various engineering manuals to the people for guidance. For a time, the "in-house" concept arose among American families.
With the trend of “digging holes in backyards and building shelters”, almost every household will mobilize on Saturdays and Sundays to carry out large-scale construction in the backyard. It is conceivable that not all Americans are DIY fanatics with strong hands-on skills. Many businesses
Construction companies took a fancy to this business opportunity and began selling various nuclear war shelters to the American people. The appearance and built-in equipment of these shelters were different, but they all had the same purpose: to allow the American people to
Live in a basement for two weeks. This requirement comes from the survival manuals issued by most U.S. government departments. After statistics and estimates, officials believe that the war will be over within two weeks, and people taking refuge underground can
Successfully rescued. Therefore, when Americans built basements, they not only dug a hole, they also built toilets, drinking water and food storage rooms in the basement. In order to know the situation on the ground in time, the instruction manual also recommended
People are equipped with small radios in their basements to listen to the latest broadcasts in a timely manner.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Even today, many people in the United States will prepare some emergency food, water and medicine in the basement. This habit originated from that era. Of course, in that era, everyone dug holes
Naturally, the U.S. government was not idle in those days. They also developed many similar projects. For example, in many big cities, the government prepared many underground shelters and stored a large amount of supplies!
These are so-called underground fortresses.
As the years have changed, many underground fortresses have been abandoned. However, the facilities and materials inside have not been disposed of by the government... because it costs money to dispose of these things! In this case, it is better to leave them there.
So now, even the government itself has forgotten these things. New York naturally has them, and part of them is occupied by Bowery King. These underground fortresses have very good conditions and are an excellent place to become a lair. In addition, those materials
, for people outside, they are just some unpalatable cans or biscuits, which are not worth mentioning at all, but for people in the underground city, this is a rare treasure.
After all, this thing is not easy to expire, it is clean and safe, what else can you ask for? It is said, it is said that this guy Bowery King has enough supplies to feed tens of thousands of people for several years. Think about how outrageous it is.
Relying on this wealth, Bowery King quickly became the most powerful force in the underground city, and also extended his power to the ground. He controlled many homeless people. These people seemed useless, but in fact they were everywhere and invisible.
Being taken seriously by others happens to be the best informant, which makes Bowery King become an underground intelligence donor! He knows a lot of things that others don't know, and he can also transport some things that are difficult to transport outside.
Bowery King now has a business as a mule.
Mule is a slang term among drug dealers, it is the type of person who specializes in transporting drugs. Bowery King does not do the illegal drug business because it is too competitive. Although he is known as the Beggar King, the problem is that they are all beggars.
, don’t expect any fighting power. He rushed out rashly to compete with others for the market. Isn’t that just giving food?
So you can work as a mule with peace of mind, earn a lot of money, and have no risks.
Because he holds the most powerful power in the underground world, he can be said to know the entire underground world well. Therefore, it is not surprising to know some secrets about Case's past.
Strangely, when faced with the arrogant Bowery King, the crazy Keys did not reply, but said angrily: "Damn it! You guy... can bear to say it until now. What a terrible guy!"
Of course Case knew what Bowery King meant by 'those things'.
Chitauri weapons.
But after Bowery King learned about this incident, he actually didn't have any abnormal reaction for such a long time. He could do whatever he wanted. One can only imagine how powerful this so-called beggar king is.
"What do you want to do?" Keith said helplessly: "You know this thing is not one of those gadgets on the market. If something happens, it will attract the attention of superheroes, and you don't want Kai to look at it either.
Looking at you?"
Of course Keith still has those things. In fact, Case has never given up researching these things over the years. Kay disagreed at first, but then he saw that Case didn't cause any big trouble, so he didn't care about her anymore.
After all, it’s still science after all. Kai doesn’t really understand it, but he’s willing to support it.
Bowery King quickly waved his hand and immediately put back his aura as the Beggar King! Just kidding, what is the Beggar King? Still a beggar! No matter how ignorant he is, he still knows what will happen if he is targeted by Kai.
He is hiding underground and does not need to pay much attention to the police station, but the superheroes restrain him tightly. No matter how dark your underground world is, can you stop those superheroes?
Give me a break.
The last time a group of vampires caused trouble underground in New York, even Bowery King almost fell into trouble and many people died. They were much stronger than beggars like Bowery King and others. Others directly built a secret base deep underground, but
The results of it?
It’s not like he was taken over by a group of superheroes.
He doesn't think he can hide himself better than those vampires. So even if the Beggar King develops power, he only dares to do intelligence work, which is a relatively small crime like being a mule.
"No, no, no, I know your daddy is great. I don't want to threaten you."
Who doesn’t know about the underground world? In the entire underground world, the thing you shouldn’t mess with the most is not the Beggar King, but this underground shop… because Keith’s dad is so damn Kais!
Of course, more people still don't understand why they all accept Kai as their father and still stay in this dark underground place.
Keith didn't really refute this rumor. After all, Kay was indeed her guardian and treated her quite well. Besides not liking to call Kay daddy, Keith didn't deny this fake father.
"Then why do you want those things? You can't hold it in anymore and want a whole bunch of big ones? Then you can go to those arms dealers. You definitely have a way."
It is really not difficult to buy arms in the United States, and any gang can do it.
"No... this time, ordinary munitions will definitely not be able to do it." Bowery King said seriously: "Just in the past few months, I have lost dozens of my men! I thought it was my competitors at first, but I still can't do it."
We had a few fights with them, but later it was discovered that it was not them, and their people were also missing. Someone is cleaning us up!"
Dozens of subordinates... For any gang, this level of loss is enough to disband them on the spot. But for the Beggar King, it is not particularly hurt. After all, except for the core backbone, the rest
His subordinates are all vagrants and dungeon rats. You really don’t need too many of them. If you give them stutters, you can attract a large number of them.
But if this continues, the Beggar King's career will be over! After all, no one wants to die in the dark.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "A few days ago, I teamed up with a few bosses to lay an ambush, intending to see who was causing trouble for us... As a result, our people suffered heavy casualties, and we all brought weapons.
But I can’t do it!”
The underground world is huge, and even the Beggar King cannot hope to dominate the world, so there are still many groups, some of which have long-term competitive relationships with the Beggar King.
"So powerful?" Case was a little surprised. Who could be so blind and go underground to grab territory? Although the underground city is a bit oily, it depends on who you compare with. It is better to engage in criminal activities on the ground than underground.
There is a lot of oil and water! Who can’t think so?
"Well, I suspect that someone is deliberately cleaning us up... so we must fight back! This is our home, and we must protect it! So I beg you, sell me some alien weapons, and I will fight them to the end!"
Bowery King may be one of the rare people who has a strong sense of belonging to the underground city. After all, most of the people who come here are forced to do nothing. Who is a good person who would live down here? As long as he can live a normal life
, will definitely not stay here!
But Bowery King is an exception. He rarely leaves the underground in his life. He is even afraid of appearing on the ground during the day because there is nothing above his head, which makes him particularly insecure. Even if he has become the Beggar King, even if his
Wealth can lead to an extremely prosperous life, but he still likes to live underground.
Case quite understands this idea. She just likes to live here. There is no other reason than that she feels comfortable.
so.
"Then how much do you plan to pay?"
I understand, I understand, she will never be merciless when it comes to making money!
