Gangjing City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hundreds of years ago, the city was once a huge steelmaking city, with steel mills all over the city, which could turn hundreds of millions of ores into hundreds of millions of tons of steel every year.

Even now, with a large number of non-metallic materials and nanomaterials generally replacing steel, the steel output of Gangjing City (mostly high-strength special steel) is still around 5 million tons per year.

Not only that, in addition to the traditional steelmaking industry, Gangjing City is also the city with the largest underground weapon production in the entire 52 districts.

It can be said that 80% of the illegal use of chemical energy pistols, rifles, and grenades are all from thousands of underground handicraft workshops in Gangjing City, which not only have excellent quality, but also have a high reputation among users.

Firearms and ammunition weapons have always been strictly prohibited by the laws of various cities in District 52, except for security officers, ordinary citizens are not allowed to own guns, and once found, they are subject to high fines and detention and education.

The problem is that in this prosperous city that used to make a living from the steelmaking industry, after the steelmaking industry weakened, the unemployment rate of workers was too high, and if they did not privately build some weapons to sell, they could only starve and drink the northwest wind.

……

After taking the train for a few hours, Zhou Ming and his subordinates came to the west of the city, and after distributing the photos according to the demarcated residential area, more than a dozen people scattered and searched carefully.

I searched for three days, but I still haven't found it.

The reason is that the residential houses in this community are built on the basis of the factory building of an abandoned steel factory, which is said to be a residential house, but it is better to say that it is a simple house stacked together with one giant container after another, and it is also a "mid-range residential community", and the conditions and environment are even inferior to the slums of Yaoxing City.

However, if you compare it with other parts of the city, when the container houses are not placed in the steel plant, but are scattered and randomly placed in the muddy ground, the houses in these abandoned factory areas can really be said to be "mid-range".

After all, the box houses (as the locals call them) in these factories are all connected to water and electricity, and the conditions are good.

Gangjing City is so poor that Zhou Ming is a little shocked, this should be one of the poorest and most backward cities in the 52 districts, and it is not even necessarily better than some places in the lower districts, and it has completely subverted people's perception of the "paradise area".

Paradise, too, is poor.

The reason for the backwardness is also simple: on the one hand, the serious weakening of heavy industry, and on the other hand, relying on a strong steel fortress, after easily withstanding a nuclear attack, the population of Gangjing City is as high as 3 million.

The poorer and poorer it is, the population is still expanding, and the thousands of workshop-style underground arsenals have made the city synonymous with chaos.

In addition, Gangjing City also has a nickname, called "the hometown of the zeroers", there are countless zeroers in this city, and the zeroers not only can't catch them, but they don't dare to catch them, because the city is flooded with guns and weapons, and those who are afraid of catching the zeroers also buy guns when they get credits, and the zeroers chase him, he does it with guns, and even a group of zeroers huddle with him!

No matter how powerful the zero-clearer is, it is impossible to move freely in the rain of bullets, and he can arrest whoever he wants.

According to this trend, Gangjing City in District 52 will sooner or later become a place where the sparks of rebellion are ignited, bringing endless turmoil and hidden dangers to the entire Calm District 52.

Zhou Ming remembered that about 20 years later, Gangjing City would have a charismatic leader, issued revolutionary slogans, led millions of people, and prepared a large number of weapons to launch a huge rebellion.

As a result, the rebellion, under the attack of some mysterious virus and a large area of comatose poison gas, was wiped out by the rebels in less than a month.

Millions of people, all of whom were sentenced to death, most of them were taken away by the zero-level people, and a small number of them were put into the "Super War Game", becoming ants and cannon fodder struggling and wailing in the eyes of the upper nobles.

"Boss, found it, found it!"

On the fifth day, there was finally good news that a subordinate who was guarding the gate of the community day and night, after seeing a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and dressed as an elite, recognized him at a glance through his rather familiar face, and then dialed the communication instrument and immediately reported it to Zhou Ming.

Fang Zhihong.

The father of this body has been found.

After seeing Fang Zhihong, Zhou Ming found that he was cowering, with some dodging and fear in his expression, and then after seeing the group of sturdy men who followed him, his footsteps drifted, as if he wanted to pull his legs and run.

"Hold him down!"

After calling one of his subordinates to control him, he walked up to Fang Zhihong, and Zhou Ming said, "Mother and sister are there, take me to meet them." ”

"Don't think!"

Fang Zhihong gritted his teeth and glared at him and said.

"You think you rebelled against me?"

Zhou Ming, who had an extra injection of P10 truth spitting agent in his hand, asked his subordinates to drag him to a place where no one was, and after holding him down hard, he went down with a needle and asked him everything he wanted to know.

On the periphery of the community, in front of a "box room" with 3 iron chain locks, he got the key from Fang Zhihong, opened the door, and walked in, the scene in the house surprised Zhou Ming.

There are joys and angers.

Happily, her mother Yuan Jiali and sister Fang Xiaojing are there.

Not only are both of them there, but there is also an extra baby in the mother's hands.

Angry, the appearance of his mother and sister has changed so much that he can barely recognize them.

The shackles, the mother and the sister, both with heavy cuffs.

His hands were also chained, and he was tied to the bed and toilet, and his maximum range of motion was no more than three meters.

The biggest change is the mother's appearance, which has changed dramatically.

His hair was half white, his face was withered, skinny, his expression was dazed, he was demented, he was holding the baby in his arms, he kept muttering something, and the outsider walked in and didn't look up.

It seems that after being greatly stimulated and tortured, people have gone crazy.

Sister Fang Xiaojing's performance was slightly better, after hearing the footsteps, her face panicked, and she subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide, but after seeing that the person who came was not the demon, but the person she often dreamed of, and could only be seen in her dreams, she showed ecstasy on her face, cried loudly, and flew over:

"Brother, is that you, is it really you?"

Then there was a bitter howl.

"It's me, it's me, don't cry, don't cry. ”

patted his sister's skinny back, hugged her in his arms and comforted her for a while, and then personally uncuffed his sister's mother and removed the chains, Zhou Ming asked in detail, what have they experienced in the past two years since they came to District 52?

Fang Xiaojing cried and devoured the food in her hands, while telling her brother about the cause and effect of the incident.

It turned out that when the three of them first came to District 52, everything in District 52 was indeed like "paradise" in their eyes, which made them full of longing and great expectations for their new life in the future.

The mining company also arranged a job for Fang Zhihong: to go to Gangjing City, thousands of miles away, to work as a professional lifelong nurse in a pension company in a beautiful countryside attached to this city.

The so-called pension company, the entire 52 district, there are tens of thousands, because the average life expectancy in the 52 district is longer, many 7, 80-year-old people, as well as some middle- and high-income people who have completed the medium-term life extension medical care, the second half of their lives, basically spent in institutions such as pension companies.

The pension places established by the pension company are generally built in the countryside with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful environment, and if the conditions are good, there will be some fish ponds, flower beds, farms and fitness venues, as well as intelligent robot nurses, and the fees are of course relatively high.

The conditions are poor, of course, is a building, surrounded by a courtyard, providing a small playground for basking in the sun, life, three meals a day, listening to radio programs, and then inviting two sturdy nurses to provide some help to the elderly who are unable to move.

The pension company where Fang Zhihong works is naturally not a company with good conditions, and he is required to serve more than 50 elderly people over 90 years old by himself at the same time, with a monthly salary of only 1,500 credits.

This salary, in addition to his own expenses, also has to support his wife and daughter.

What makes him even more unbearable is that he is a big man who is used to being served by dozens of people, and now he wants to serve dozens of old people?

The beautiful illusion in Fang Zhihong's heart was shattered in an instant, he felt that he had been deceived, and what the little devil said was right: this is not heaven, except for the blue sky and white clouds, green plants and clear rivers, everything else is hell!

The huge gap made him feel that instead of living this life, it was better to stay in District 51 and continue to be his district manager.

At least he is under one person, above tens of thousands.

Here, not only did he have nothing, but he also had to be called around by dozens of old men.

Don't do it, leave!

His wife Yuan Jiali grabbed him and told him to work for a while, don't resign in a hurry, it's really not good, she also went to the city to find a job and make more money.

She still has two spare coins in her hand, and it should be no problem to buy a job with a monthly income of 5,000 credits.

His wife's suggestion was rejected by him without hesitation, when did he fall to the point of being supported by a woman, he was not allowed to look for a job, and he would wait until I got a sum of money first!

So, Fang Zhihong began to use his brain, and after a while, he thought of several tricks to make money.

The first is to deduct food expenses, 50 old people, one old man, one person deducts 3 credit points for food expenses, 150 points a day, 4500 a month, plus the minimum salary, he is a high-income class with a monthly income of 6000 points.

After doing this for three months, Fang Zhihong really made a small amount of money, of course, the average weight of those old people also lost three or four pounds.

The second is to deduct medical expenses, these old people, very old, most of the body has all kinds of problems, often have to take all kinds of medicines, but because these medicines, are bought and fed by nurses, all the opportunities to start.

In the fourth month, Fang Zhihong directly earned more than 10,000 yuan a month, and in the fifth month, he almost ran to 20,000 yuan.

In the sixth month, Fang Zhihong was fired and was also discovered by the company, within a month, three old people died in a row, can he not be discovered?

Fang Zhihong, who was arrested, was a little blindsided, he took three steps, and he had to hit the idea of the inheritance of those dead old people, so that he would earn more, not to mention, and even maybe get the money of those old people.

As a result, he was dismissed, not to mention, all the money he earned before was lost, and he was sued by a family member of the deceased to compensate the family of the deceased with a sum of money.

At this time, it stands to reason that he should be taken away by the clearer, but his wife Yuan Jiali took out a piece of money, and at the last moment, pulled him and said to him:

"We only have the last one dollar left, find a stable job, work steadfastly, and stop doing things that hurt nature, okay?"

Fang Zhihong lowered his head and didn't say anything, after the family of three went to the city to try their luck, on the information panel of the vocational exchange, when he saw that most of the jobs that could be bought with 1 money were only 3000-3500 credits per month, Fang Zhihong's eyes were deeply attracted by a position that required 3 coins to buy:

Position: Production Manager of a Steel Plant;Purchase Price:3 Money;Salary:10,000 Credits/Month;Description:Manage 20 workers, those with management experience, the salary can be increased by 10%-20%

This position, with a high salary and the ability to manage people, is very suitable for him.

Moreover, he has exactly 3 coins in his hand.

"We don't have three coins, we can only take out one at most. His wife Yuan Jiali was puzzled.

"Plus the two on you and Xiao Jing, isn't there just three?"

The corners of Fang Zhihong's mouth showed his trademark devilish smile.

So, from this day on, for Yuan Jiali and Fang Xiaojing, a nightmare came.

……

"Bang!"

After listening to his sister's story, Zhou Ming slammed his fist on the bed board.

It was hard for him to imagine that there would be such a person: in order to prevent his wife and daughter from being taken away by the zero-clearers, he locked them in his house all day and forbade them to go out.

Later, after locking them up for a long time, fearing that they would cry for help, he handcuffed them with iron chains to their hands and feet, which further restricted their movements, and when they saw that stuffing towels into their mouths was ineffective, they simply did not give them enough food, and they were hungry and had no strength to shout.

It is estimated that in the next step, in order to eradicate the troubles, he may have no other way to solve this problem than to kill people and eliminate his mouth.

"Da Biao, kill this beast for me, chop up the corpse again, and throw it outside to feed the dogs!"

Zhou Ming was murderous, he was full of anger, and only someone's life and blood could be completely extinguished.

Hearing this, Fang Zhihong was frightened, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, slapped his ears, apologized and admitted his mistakes, and begged bitterly: "Xiaoyuan, I'm your father, you can't treat me like this!"

"Shut his mouth and kill him!"

Zhou Ming didn't want to listen to it anymore, his heart was like a stone, even in so many games, he ordered his son to be executed, and it was the first time that he attacked his biological father.

But there are some damn evil spirits, and there are always people to judge, isn't it, not to mention, in this world, there is no such thing as "filial piety", standing up for your mother and sister, killing anyone, will not be blamed by others.

"No...... Don't ......"

A voice came, and a dry hand pulled herself, but it was her mother, who seemed to be more conscious, and opened her mouth to stop herself.

"Mom, what are you doing in the world with this kind of garbage beast?"

"Dad...... Daddy......"

The mother hugged the child in her arms, put it in front of Zhou Ming, and after saying a few syllables, Zhou Ming's body shook, and he was stunned for a few seconds at the baby boy, and finally said helplessly to his hand: "Forget it, let him die as a dog!"

It is true that Fang Zhihong deserves to die, but for this newborn baby, who is also his younger brother, his father can die at the hands of anyone, but his elder brother cannot be his father's enemy.

This is a moral and ethical dilemma, and it is also a struggle between human nature and conscience.

……

On the same day, Zhou Ming took his rescued mother, sister and three-month-old brother, and a group of subordinates to get on the maglev train and leave Gangjing City.

As for Fang Zhihong, let him fend for himself!
