Chapter 53 (II) Subject to Others
The fire on the small island of Delaware dates back to around 1732, when people were engulfed in flames while walking, but at the time some people thought it was God's punishment for pirates, and there were not many people living on the island, so not much attention was paid to this kind of thing, after all, it was a time when "magic was gradually disappearing".
When later immigrants arrived on the island and became owners, inexplicable fires began to attract their attentionβa bizarre fire in the barn in the middle of the night, a sudden fire in a cornfield in the early morning, and sometimes flames could even be seen on the banks of the river.
Soon, it was believed that there were devils on the island, and some people said that it was the entrance to hell, because of the flames that came out of hell for no reason. Coincidentally, this time coincided with the beginning of the official spread of vampire legends to the world, as early as a decade ago, vampire tales were told in East Prussia, and some people published books about such events.
At that time, the United States was not yet independent, and it was still a British colony without the title of the United States. For various reasons, the owner of the island decided to exorcise the demons, but it turned out to be useless, but in that colonial era, no one was willing to give up their land, even if there were demons on the land, because relatively speaking, the loss of capital property was the most terrible.
Over the years, the island changed hands and eventually became a fuel reserve for a certain company, but ironically, the tanks built this time had no fuel at all, because they were looking at it from a scientific point of view. It is believed that the fires on the islands are not caused by the devils of hell, but that they have oil or natural gas, and that houses have been rebuilt on the islands, and that most of the island's ground has been recast, and that fire prevention measures have been strengthened.
Later, after scientific exploration, it was discovered that there was no oil or other fuel here, and the company decided to abandon it because of the loss, and the island became a transit terminal, and then because of the economic depression. Camden also became one of the poorest cities in the United States. This small city with a population of less than 100,000 has a per capita income of only one-third of the average income of the American population, and the number of crimes is increasing day by day.
As a result, the island was eventually abandoned. Subsequently, it became one of the important places for the drug trade. Within the confines of Camden City alone. There are hundreds of almost transparent drug trading venues.
"It's drugs again." Tang Shuxing leaned against the wall and listened, "In other words, this city is equivalent to Gotham City in the Batman comics?" β
"It's much worse than that." Iron tooth road. "The police there go on strike at any time because they are too poorly paid, and once they strike, the streets start to become chaotic, and there are robberies and killings everywhere, so no one wants to invest there, unless you have a strong army yourself."
"But that island can't be as big as a bus, no matter how small?" Ji Kefeng looked at Iron Tooth, "Isn't this looking for a needle in a haystack?" How do we find such a big place? β
Iron Tooth pondered for a long time and said: "Red Phoenix Feather has a characteristic, that is, it is hot when it is hot, and the body is blood red, because it should be a mineral resource, so it is most suitable to find it at noon." β
"Still won't work." Tang Shuxing shook his head, "You said it was a mineral, but someone had explored it before, but why didn't you find it?" β
Iron Tooth said: "That volcano in Astaya has also been explored, why haven't those companies discovered the secret below?" β
"Because it's a crater!" Ji Kefeng retorted.
"Because it's an island!" Iron Tooth said calmly: "I'm sorry, I can only calculate the coordinates, I can't do other things, and there are no symbols and books, I can only say that this is an opportunity, we can't fight back without chips, we can only be subject to Shangdu forever!" β
Just when a few people were discussing, there was a knock at the door, and Iron Tooth immediately got dressed, and used Wei Xuanyu's front to face the gate, and then said: "Yu Xin is coming back soon, and he is living on the dividing wall between the living area and the fusion area, it's time for you to go back, if the mission of the United States is successfully completed, I will find a way to keep you in the integration zone, so that everyone can take care of each other." β
"The key problem is that we can't find anything for the wrong coordinate location you gave them, and we won't hand over Chi Fengyu when we come back!" Tang Shu said hurriedly, "In the end, it was a failure!" β
"It's okay, I'll have a way then." Iron Tooth seemed to be confident and didn't worry about it at all, "You just have to bring the things back, and you don't have to worry about the rest." β
Helplessly, Tang Shuxing and the others had to leave, left the inner room, walked out of the shop and followed the officer back to the hut under the demarcation wall, and after they left, another man wearing a uniform of the Citizen Control Bureau who was originally guarding the door turned around and walked into the inner room, did not take off his hat, but leaned against the door with his arms crossed, and asked Iron Tooth: "Did the plan work?" β
"It works, they'll do it." Iron Fang said lightly, "As long as they are asked to find chips, they will definitely go." β
"If they know that the wrong coordinates are only a river away from the coordinates you gave, won't they suspect it?" The man asked again, worried.
"What about doubt? This is a matter of planning, when they know that the distance between the road is so close, they will only thank God, not complain, they can't hope that there is a distance of thousands of miles between the wrong coordinates and the correct coordinates. After Iron Tooth finished speaking, he asked, "As long as you have all the things, will you awaken my master's soul as promised?" β
"Don't worry, I will do what I say." The man smiled, "Shouldn't I also give you the control area?" Also, you said that the corpse poison was in Tang Shu's torture body, did you want to remind him of something? Don't play tricks! Be careful that if I strip you of your power, it will also put your master to sleep for the rest of your life! β
"Don't worry, I'm under your control, I won't play any tricks, I just don't want to see him suddenly finished." Iron Tooth's voice lowered, but he was very worried about whether the other party had discovered his true purpose, which was another game he had planted in the other party's game.
"That's good, I'll send someone to keep an eye on you." The man turned and grabbed the doorknob. Just as he was about to leave, Iron Fang stopped him.
"Except for you, why don't the other two show up among the three heroes of Shangdu?" Iron Tooth asked deliberately, and although it was impossible for Zhilu Dao to get a definite answer, he still hoped to infer something from the man's answer.
"Because there's no need for that, it's enough for me to come forward." The man laughed and opened the door to leave, leaving Iron Tooth alone in the empty room in a daze.
When they returned to the waiting crowd in the demarcation wall, they saw Xia Jiezhu, who was still in a sluggish state, and wondered when she would recover. Is it true that you can't hear their previous conversations? Just when they saw Yu Xin's figure appear on the opposite street, Xia Jiezhu shivered, then looked left and right blankly, and then asked, "What happened?" β
No one answered. When Xia Jiezhu saw the door of the hut again. and after the road they had walked before. Immediately remembered that he had gone to see Lord Taituan before, but then his memory was blurred, and he didn't remember how he came back. This shows what happened during this period, and it is something that I don't want her to know.
The officer was amused enough to enter another room within the demarcation wall, leaving only the four of them inside.
"What just happened?" Xia Jiezhu looked at Yu Xin, who was slowly walking from a distance, "You'd better be honest, if you don't say it, I will tell the adults what I didn't remember before, and I can't tell what will happen when the time comes......"
Ji Kefeng and Gu Huaiyi looked outside without saying a word, they both knew that Lu Dao had to let Tang Shuxing come forward to deal with her at this time, but Tang Shuxing opened his mouth and directly told Xia Jiezhu to shut up, he said: "Do you want to know what Lu Dao Si Zhengnan experienced in Astaya?" Do you want to know how he died? He was betrayed and waited to go back later, just the two of us...... As for whether I say it or not, it depends on what you will say to the adults later. β
Tang Shuxing said these words expressionlessly, then turned his head and smiled at Xia Jiezhu, and blinked his eyes. At this time, Yu Xin had already come to the door, and the officer also walked out, entered the code to open the door, and let Yu Xin enter.
Yu Xin entered the house, didn't say anything, still had a straight face, just turned around and walked towards the adaptation area, and said at the same time: "Go back." β
Tang Shuxing was shocked, could it be that there was something wrong with the green dragon scales!? Or is there something else going on? Why did Yu Xin seem so unhappy?
After they left the demarcation wall and walked into the adaptation zone, Yu Xin waved his hand to let his soldiers line up in front of the demarcation wall again, making the appearance of confronting the fusion zone, and then walked quickly back to the Exit and Entry Administration, walking quickly along the way, anger gradually appeared on his face, and when he walked to the door of the management office, he actually raised his foot and kicked the door open.
The iron door was kicked by Yu Xin's legs, bounced directly inside, and smashed heavily on a soldier, the soldier was hit on the head by the door, rolled to the side, and the head immediately surged blood, it seemed that he was seriously injured, and it could also be seen that Yu Xin's legs were extremely strong, and he was not an ordinary person who was powerless.
Tang Shuxing and the others glanced at each other, didn't speak, and followed Yu Xin past the dying soldier and returned to Xia Jiezhu's office.
When Yu Xin entered the house, he went to close the curtains, closed the door tightly, and then locked it, and then stood at the window and scolded the place next to him, scolding all the dirty words, and even pulled out a gun and shot the ground after scolding.
After the gunshot, a soldier knocked on the door outside and asked, but Yu Xin walked to the door angrily and did not open the door, indicating that it was just after his own gun went off and let the soldier leave.
Yu Xin stood at the door and listened with his eyes closed, and when he heard the footsteps of the soldiers getting farther and farther away, and disappeared after the last moment, a smile appeared on his face, and then the smile turned into a smug smile, and he stood there looking at the four people who were stunned.
"Well done! The green dragon scales proved to be real after testing, and the power is very powerful! Yu Xin smiled, looking up and smiling, but the laughter was very small, "I'm sorry just now, because other controllers also have eyes and ears in the adaptation zone, so I can't smile and make them jealous, I can only pretend to be scolded by the upper echelons and be dissatisfied." β
it! This Yu Xin thinks so much. Thinking of this, Tang Shuxing immediately squeezed out a flattering smile and said something like congratulations. (To be continued......)
