There are some things that become very powerless when we talk about them at a certain stage. Xituang changed the topic abruptly and pointed at Dongfan: "How did you get hurt? Do you need a bandage or a band-aid?"
"Thanks, I have it at home."
"Is your home still there?"
"Seventh floor, brother."
Xi Tuang sneered: "The water depth in West Sixth Street is now almost seven meters."
Dongfan was confused: "So? My kennel is twenty meters above the ground."
"No one can live below the third floor, and it's not safe to sleep below the fifth floor. The seventh floor is just right. The seventh floor is a very good shelter. You can use it by breaking the door open. It also has the equipment of your black shop, which can be taken apart and sold for money."
"...I accept your kind words."
"Good luck is coming later." Xi Tuang touched his bald head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I think you can go to jail for two years."
These words must have sounded harsh, but Donghaan was not angry, just grinning slightly.
"You know, the current rumors are not right, especially you, a remnant of the 'Metal Wild', a standard lost dog, should have the consciousness of a lost dog. Especially those crazy dogs of the 'Piao Gang', they made the 'Metal Wild'
I have suppressed you for so many years and have always been ruthless and ruthless, so I will not let you go easily."
The boat churned forward, while the sewage was churning, Xi Tuang continued, "But to the official side, you are relatively low-key in 'Metal Wild', you don't have a fatal criminal record, and you have some skills. This kind of
Under the circumstances, if you go in for a few years and you won’t attract anyone’s attention... maybe when you come out a few years later, the Piao Gang will be gone."
This is the survival wisdom of gang members and even suburban residents. There is a difference between being chased and beaten to death by other gang members in the street and spending a few years in jail.
Toba understands this idea, but it doesn’t mean he agrees with it. It’s not that he is afraid of going to jail. In fact, he has already been to the palace twice, and one of them was for a senior executive. Otherwise, even a technical staff would not be so easy to reach the age of thirty.
Becoming a mid-level member of "Metal Wild" before the age of five.
He has more realistic considerations.
"Do you think the 'Piao Gang' has no one in prison? You don't know much about the penetration of your current boss." Dongfan continued to pick at the blood clots on his bangs, his eyes a little distracted, "I have been working in the 'Metal Gang' for many years.
We can see clearly in "Wild" that in terms of top and bottom management, "Piao" can get rid of "Gold" eight streets, otherwise "Metal Wild" wouldn't have received no news last month and collapsed all of a sudden... In fact, these
In the past year, the momentum on both sides has begun to reverse."
Xi Tuang showed his metal teeth again: "I found out that the boss orders a lot of noodles and it's true."
Dongfan looked at the sewage that had been chopped up by the boat in front of him, as well as branches, leaves, plastics and other floating objects. His eyes were still unfocused and he was talking to himself: "The most important thing is that I have to pay back the money, 17254 per month."
Yuan, there are still eight years..."
As he spoke, he touched his head, which had just been opened a few hours ago, and then slid it back, wiping through the thick hair until he reached the back of his head and spine, where there were still slightly rough marks. After a few seconds, he touched it again.
road:
"You know, I have to pay it back even if I die. If that day comes, Qinghui Company will sell my body directly to the 'Piao Gang'. If so, I might as well take the initiative to sell it. However, that is not enough, so I'm gone
, my old lady is almost there; for the same reason, I can't go in either - no prison now pays you a salary, they even ask you to pay money, otherwise, the outcome will still be the 'Piao Gang'."
Si Tuang disagreed: "The prison is not in the western suburbs, so it must have its own channels. You know, as long as there is a way, both living and dead can be sold at a good price."
Dongfan shook his head: "Believe me, in order to ensure their exclusive rights to operate in the western suburbs, the Piao Gang will take over the prison business even if it costs ten times or a hundred times. At least they will fight with other gangs. This is
The 'dot-and-dot' approach."
The main business of the Piao Bang is the trading of "human flesh", both living and dead, and it uses this to expand its upstream and downstream businesses and make friends with customers from all walks of life. It has indeed become prosperous in recent years. Unlike "Metal Wild", which
The "technical route" of illegal transformation of omnipotence and black market trading is like an underground arms dealer. It seems to be high-end, but in the end it repeatedly jumps on the high-voltage line, and an accident leads to a complete collapse.
Whether Dongfan or Xituang, they are all struggling in such a gang environment. Such small talk happens every time, but it is only general talk.
Finally, I have to end with a joke: "You don't trust your mother too much. Didn't Wandi claim to have the protection of the Lord of the Lost Kingdom, and she wanted to find a son of God for you? Maybe she would lead the army of the Lost Kingdom to rob the prison...
"
Wandi is Dongba's mother. She is younger than Xituang, and the two are relatively close to each other. In fact, when Dongba was a child, he once suspected that Xituang might be his mother's regular customer when she was a street girl. However,
When he grows up and matures, he will basically forget about this kind of thing and no longer care about it.
At this time, Dongba shrugged: "It would be good if she can receive relief food from there. She receives it twice a month, one person each time, for three days. This arrangement has moved her for more than three years.
But during this period, she has to pay at least 339 yuan every month until the 339th month... Wouldn't it be nice to have this money in her own hands?"
"339" is a mysterious number proposed by the "Lost Kingdom", which means that it will take three hundred and thirty-nine months for the "Lost Kingdom" to reappear in the world. And all of this comes from the "Lost Kingdom" in 2094
The prophecy of the “Great Return Day”.
Dongba has long been numb to this: "Thinking about how I have to worry about her food for the remaining twenty-four days in prison, I think it's better to save the money."
"However, your mother is currently living in a believer's camp in the Lost Kingdom. To have such a shelter at this time, the tens of thousands of dollars she spent in the previous three years is enough." Amidst the noise of the boat "chugging",
Si Tuang laughed very loudly, "When it comes to prodigality, you are still the number one. At least for the next eight years, every time I compare monthly expenses, you are the one who is embarrassed to see others. You must have been obsessed at the time and thought you were a metal maniac.
Wild' can last forever..."
Dongfan was a little angry: "Bullshit, it's obviously Wu Langxiong, that bastard. Let's show with actions that we believe the gang can last forever."
"You still believe it."
"Guixin, the only thing I didn't expect was that Qinghui Company was not an affiliated company of his, and it didn't collapse because of the gang's demise. It was just out of filial piety that he paid to his superiors... What a fool!"
Donghaan lost control of his emotions as he spoke. He cursed and hit the fiberglass side.
Still feeling uneasy, he turned around and complained again: "And the believer camp, please, is the territory of the Lost Kingdom a place where we can stay for a long time? The 'Lost Country' is not just a joke."
"Then why don't you go and stay with me, or move your mother to another place quickly?"
"How can I accompany you? It's not a place where normal people can stay. And where to go? Those other barren mountains where you can't even set up tents, and people are robbing and killing people at any time? It hasn't stopped raining these days.
She doesn’t have many bones in her body, and she fell down in just one night. When the time comes, I will take her to line up outside the so-called public welfare medical tent to wait for death. Even if she survives and survives in the tent, who will make money? Who will find a backer? Just wait.
This month, Qinghui’s people will come to collect debts? When the time comes, it will be a big deal, why don’t you sell it to the Piao Gang for money?”
Speaking of this, Dongfan became even more anxious.
He has never been someone who has a way to make money, nor is he a smart person, otherwise he would not join a gang. Even if he is satirizing the world and making a few self-deprecating remarks, to put it bluntly, he is just following what others say and pretending to be profound.
.
He could clearly see his family's situation, but he could not find an effective way to deal with it.
Of course he is concerned about his mother, but at the same time he also has to worry about his own property - it is the only support he has to maintain the life and dignity of his mother and son at this stage. And in the western suburbs where the public security environment is extremely bad, he piles all his wealth in one place
Going anywhere is very dangerous, but Tohata has no other choice.
His unlicensed repair shop could at least allow him to offset part of the high interest on the "advanced investment" in precision equipment before he found a new backer.
As for high risk…
Which of these suburban gang members is not a high risk?
Even if you want to keep a low profile and seek stability, his ex-boss Wu Langxiong, who died without a body, will force you to increase leverage and spend heavily until you cannot make ends meet and are insolvent, so that they can better control you and make you accustomed to taking risks.
Dongfan looked at thirty-five years old, but he was used to seeing it. He was used to being stuck in such days and couldn't extricate himself. But now, he seemed to have just woken up from a distorted and chaotic dream, but in his heart
It is full of indescribable heat and an urge to do something and prove something.
How to do it, how to do it...
Dongfan shook his hand heavily and hit it on the dirty water, causing splashes. Then he frowned and cursed:
"It smells like shit, it really stinks!"
Si Tuang laughed hard, but stopped talking, and drove the boat through the complicated waterways.
Dongfan wiped his hands on his clothes and exhaled. He and Xituang had a good relationship, but they shouldn't share joys and sorrows casually. So he also looked around to adjust his mood - this area has two floors
The small buildings have basically been submerged, with most of the roof ridges, antennas, etc. exposed; taller buildings are scattered in the sewage; there are also some collapsed ruins with strange shapes lying in the water.
Inside these buildings and above the ruins, there were still figures of people. Most of them seemed stunned, but there were also some people who looked towards the boat.
They should be familiar with "ferries" like Si Tuang, but those who haven't taken the boat to transfer out yet will basically have to endure it until the water recedes...or become floating corpses. Well, this is the standard
"Depressant" environments, except for things like the Piao Gang, normal people will only feel worse if they watch too much.
Dongfan simply lowered his head, closed his eyes and took a nap.
But not long after, he suddenly slid down and lay directly on the small deck in front of the boat.
Si Tuang was frightened by his sudden movements and subconsciously kicked him with the metal side: "What the hell are you doing? Blackmailing me?"
"Shut up and don't ask for trouble."
Dongfan kicked him back, but there was no need for this kick. Xituang, who had been on the road for almost forty years, had already woken up. He looked up and looked into the distance. It seemed that Dongfan was not in the boat. He was driving his
The boat, which was about to be scrapped, continued to cut through the water along its original route.
After another half minute, Si Tuang finally heard the sound and turned around to look back. He saw a "huge thing" coming out from behind a flooded building they had just passed.
It was a multifunctional amphibious hovercraft that was extremely exaggerated in the current environment. It was about fifteen meters in length and had twin jet propellers standing high in the back. It felt more suitable for surfing on the sea than in this sewage.
Wander.
"Grass!" Situan cursed, "Phospholipid."
He knew why Dongfan was facing a formidable enemy. He met a gang on the road and met enemies on a narrow road. With Dongfan's status as a front and middle manager of "Metal Wild", if anyone recognized him, he would probably knock them over and go to the ball.
But, are Donghaan’s ears and eyes so sensitive?
He recently underwent a sensory transformation? Where did he get the money?
Si Tuang couldn't understand the details, but he knew the importance, and quickly maneuvered the boat to the side.
Although the western suburbs have now become a "lake", it is not really a wide water surface after all. The deep water areas suitable for "big ships" are mainly on the original traffic roads. Therefore, Piao helped the famous "Phospholipid" amphibious hovercraft to rush into the water.
When coming over, Si Tuang consciously avoided the main waterway.
A few seconds later, the hovercraft slid quickly against the sewage. The jet propeller behind it stirred up turbid waves, as well as branches, leaves, paper, plastic, etc. floating on the water, as if there was a poisonous rain blowing from the sky.
"I just..." Xi Tuang's avoidance was not successful enough, and the sewage sewage sprayed all over his head and face. But at this time, he could only use swear words to vent his emotions, and there was no point in doing anything else.
After the hovercraft went away, Dongban, who had also been doused on half his body, sat up and squinted at the four big words "Emergency Rescue" that were conspicuous and arrogant on the side and rear of the hovercraft, and the corner of his mouth twitched:
"Are they happy lately?"
"Of course, the more severe the disaster, the happier they are. From what I have seen, they have sold at least this amount..."
The thick metal arm is raised, and the thumb, index finger and middle finger are flexibly spread.
"three hundred?"
"Add another zero! During the peak period, my small boat helped them transport it twice." Xituang wanted to laugh but couldn't. He nodded his stubby chin at the hovercraft that was going away, "Believe it or not,
This ship can hold at least a hundred more things on it."
"Not that many, about forty, and the rest are all living people."
"ha?"
"It's nothing. Aren't they doing business with both the dead and the living? But for a small business like the ferry boat, do you still use the Phospholipid to do it?"
"Then you are talking nonsense. Now it costs 2,000 yuan to ferry a living person, and a floating corpse ranges from 700 to 3,000 yuan depending on its condition. The average price is just over 1,500 yuan - so to tell you a truth, there will always be no money in this world.
A living person is more valuable!"
"It's indeed the truth." Dongfan responded casually, but changed the topic, "But why is the ship not going out instead of in when it is already full?"
"Is it full?" Xituang had just let the sewage pour on his head and didn't see anything clearly. But thinking about Dongfan's particularly sensitive ears and eyes today, he believed it for the time being, and after a moment's thought, he found a reasonable explanation, "You go there
Look ahead..."
Dongfan turned his head, just as the boat was chasing the waves of the "Phospholipid", it staggered around a corner, and there was a shadow in front of it. A semi-old high-rise building blocked the morning sun, with a blue-black glass outer wall.
It also seems to be glowing with light and is square in shape. It is a modern business-style office building that is rare in the western suburbs.
Dongfan, who has lived in the western suburbs since he was a child, recognized it immediately: "Siyuan Building."
"Hmm, the headquarters of the Piao Gang. The 'Phospholipid' probably comes here to pick up some people and goods."
While they were talking, they saw from a distance that the "Phospholipid" was parked next to the Siyuan Building, a temporary platform dock. The engine was stopped and people were coming and going on it. It was indeed transporting something.
"Why are you sending it inside the building?" Xi Tuang also saw something wrong.
But Dongfan reminded him: "Take a detour, don't wait for them to force you with a gun."
"That's right, there might be some sensitive business involved." Si Tuang hurriedly steered the boat to one side.
However, the Siyuan Building can barely be regarded as a landmark building in this area. No matter how you go around, the building is still there, standing in the turbulent turbid water. Dongba can still easily see the situation on the other side of the building:
"The water and electricity are out, but there are quite a lot of people inside?"
"Really?" Xi Tuang also looked up, but in the daytime, through the window, it was impossible to see what was inside. He didn't think much about it, and just said casually, "In such a busy season, there must be something inside.
There must be someone on duty and in the middle to coordinate.”
"So the Piao Gang recently purchased military exoskeleton armor?"
"How is it possible? This kind of prohibited weapon has been seen by the Intellectual Management Center. If you are convicted, the Piao Gang will follow the 'Metal Wild'..." Xituang looked up at the Siyuan Building again, but still found nothing.
, could only frown and ask Dongfan, "Which eye did you see?"
Dongfan said with a smile, "In a dream."
"If you keep talking nonsense, just swim back by yourself... Grandma, you are so happy for nothing. If there is such a thing, I will definitely report it and watch the building collapse."
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe the big shots from the Piao Gang who manage the Intelligent Management Center will come to inspect it?"
"Are they worthy?" Xituang sneered, "Apart from the crazy reporting on 'Metal Wild' in the past few years, what else can they do to join the 'Two Centers'? If they must have one, it will be a high-energy center..."
After all, Xu Piao is a registered intensive martial artist at the High Energy Center, and he attends training and seminars every year."
Xu Piao is one of the founders of the "Piao Gang" and the current chief spokesperson.
Not only in the western suburbs, but also in the central city.
Despite the black smoke emitting from the boat, the speed on the water was unusual. In just a few words, it passed by and was far away from the Siyuan Building. Dongfan lowered his head again, as if he was taking a nap again, and seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he suddenly spoke without any warning.
, the voice is still a little weak and erratic:
"You'd better not leave here for the next two days."
"Um?"
"The wind direction is wrong recently. The dogs may make big moves, and the Piao Gang will definitely react... It would be unjust to be knocked over by the wind from both sides if they move on both sides." Dongfan touched his forehead that no longer existed.
Wound, "This is how I got hurt."
The so-called "dogs" are the official name for violent departments, which mainly refers to the Internal Affairs Bureau, but can also include intelligence management, high-energy centers, and even the military.
Si Tuang said "Oh", his mind was not clear yet, but he must have taken it seriously.
After all, nothing is more important than wealth and life.
Dongfan asked him again: "The Piao gang has been so busy these days. If we go further, ships carrying corpses and people should appear more frequently."
"That is."
"Then I'd better take another route and stay away from them these two days."
"My mind is quite clear, but I have to think about it..."
"No need for you, I know the way. Well, can you give me a swimming goggle?"
Xituang was startled, then looked at Dongfan's gaze on his forehead, and he came to his senses: "Hey, what are you doing? This is not the Jinbi Swimming Pool. There are no three-point beauties in it. There are also rotten corpses and
stool……"
Dongfan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, reached over and took off the swimming goggles from Xi Tuang's head: "I did it to prevent you from turning into a rotting corpse. Remember this favor."
"Fuck, this thing is so expensive..."
"The fixed price is ten yuan, which will be deducted from your debt."
Dongfan didn't give Xi Tuang a chance to speak again, and completed the forced purchase and sale. He put the swimming goggles on his face, adjusted it slightly, and lay back, this time in the murky water under the boat.
.
"Your injury..." Xi Tuang stood up violently, causing the boat to shake. He actually remembered that the flood here has been accumulating for half a month. It is turbid and rancid, and germs are breeding. It is difficult for healthy people to enter.
It's very dangerous, not to mention that Toba is still injured.
But it was too late to call again.
Dongfan didn't even show his head. He looked at it for a long time and didn't see it. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Xituang was in a daze on the boat, and then he suddenly felt that Dongfan was particularly unfamiliar today.
His friend was worried on the water, but Dongfan didn't care. Because this was not the environment he should enter in his normal cognitive state. Since he came in, he naturally changed his state.
The rule system of "immeasurable divine power" is naturally opened. In the smelly water body, active snakes, insects, and microorganisms also become the booster of the energy replenishment cycle. In this rich and relatively monotonous sewage ecology, both below the water surface and on the water it affects.
In the circle area, those living medium and large life forms, such as humans, become very "conspicuous".
Donghaan, or Ronan, was like this before. He noticed that there was an unusual number and distribution of people inside the "Four Yuan Building" hundreds of meters apart.
The in-depth exploration of "Infinite Divine Power" in the field of differentiation and integration of life levels is indeed unique. In comparison, the "stepped distribution of life starry sky" structure that Ronan himself pondered is too crude and superficial, including the construction based on it.
The "primary model of rule difference annotation", the "distributed model of life rings", and the "global life system model" summarized and refined above are all very flawed. They can only be regarded as a kind of perceptual ability that exceeds the standard. Naturally
The data analysis and display are far from the level of "methodology".
And this set of "immeasurable divine power" is indeed the top methodology in this field.
Ronan felt that he should reconstruct his relevant model based on this, this time including the inner and outer earth and all living things...
Of course, thinking about this was a bit far-fetched. He was still swimming in the sewage, constantly switching the consciousnesses of Ronan and Dongfan, and finally used the more realistic Dongfan as the main driver to drive this experimental body and turn into the water.
A group of buildings that are both familiar and unfamiliar somewhere.
The swirling current of the turbid water is hitting the broken fence of the courtyard outside the building complex, and is also washing away the metal sign embedded in the stone wall on the side:
