Chapter 295: Poisonous Scorpion
Meng Chao walked around the vegetable market with great interest.
All kinds of poisonous monster visceral materials that are difficult to find elsewhere greatly satisfy his curiosity as a reaper.
After a round of shopping, Lu Siya also appeared at the door of the vegetable market.
However, her dress made Meng Chao slightly stunned.
Ponytails, caps, tracksuits and basketball shoes, a college student who doesn't wear powder.
Speaking of which, Lu Siya is only in her twenties.
But she usually wears heavy makeup and wears a shrewd and capable strong woman, which often gives Meng Chao the illusion of being too mature.
At first glance, seeing such a young and beautiful Lu Siya, Meng Chao blinked his eyes for a long time before he dared to step forward to speak.
"Sister Ya, ...... you are"
"Golden Tooth Nest City, fish and dragons are mixed, dress a little low-key, you can avoid a lot of trouble." Lu Siya explained.
Meng Chao wanted to say: "It turns out that you know what 'low-key' is!" β
After thinking about it, he didn't say anything, but looked behind Lu Siya: "What about the elite soldiers of the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau?" β
"They went in through a different entrance."
Lu Siya looked at Meng Chao with blazing eyes, "Don't worry, I have a miniature camera and signal transmitter on me, I can contact the big army at any time, as long as I can lock on to the target, I will definitely be able to control the situation, don't say so much, let's go in!" β
The two walked through the wet market.
I walked into a supermarket under a high-rise residential building.
After rows of intricate labyrinthine shelves, and through the corridors of the two basement floors, and then up, it suddenly opens up to a small patio.
It is surrounded by towering old residential buildings.
The windows are so small and dense that at first glance they look like a cement beehive, and one can't help but wonder how small and cramped the living space behind the windows is.
Only by raising your head ninety degrees can you see a small gray sky from an almost vertical direction.
Countless pairs of eyes, either curious, or indifferent, or gloomy looking at the people in the patio.
His face was expressionless, like a prisoner in the wind.
This is Nest City.
Meng Chao had never been to Chaocheng before.
Although there is no law to forcibly isolate Nest City from the outside world.
But the nest city is the last symbol of that dark and bloody, lawless era decades ago.
Many citizens who struggled from that era and finally moved out of Chaocheng and moved to a public rental housing community like "Tianfuyuan" will repeatedly warn their children that they must not come to Chaocheng, otherwise "they will learn badly".
Meng Chao remembered that when he was in junior high school, there were a few gangsters in the class who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and they were indeed proud of "having been to Chaocheng", and if they skipped school and went to Chaocheng once, even if they just walked around the periphery of Chaocheng and ate a "Hundred Poisons Banquet", they could be the talking point for more than a month.
Looking at the bifurcated paths in front of him, like a labyrinthine of buildings, Meng Chao was a little at a loss for a while.
Lu Siya had already contacted the people in Chaocheng.
"Miss?"
Soon, a young man with a lively two-tailed scorpion tattooed on his arm and an extremely strong temperament appeared in the patio and bowed slightly to Lu Siya.
This is no ordinary tattoo.
It's a sign of a gang.
In that bloody era when zombies were rampant, order collapsed, and the weak ate the strong, the survivors naturally formed various forms of groups in order to protect themselves.
To compete for precious water, food, energy, and living space...... Resources, and almost every surviving group, wielded a powerful force and established and strengthened the loyalty of its members in a variety of ways.
That's where the gangs come in.
With the development of the times, some gangs have become larger and more successful, and the gang leaders have controlled a large amount of resources in order to break the genetic shackles, impact the limits of life, become a supernatural who can control the use of psionic energy in a clear state, and upgrade the gangs under their command into various companies, enterprises and organizations.
In the end, under the witness of the "Martial God" Lei Zongchao, the nine major companies signed a peace agreement, drafted a new law, restored order in Dragon City, and opened a new era.
And many small and medium-sized gangs are either gradually swallowed up by the super enterprises led by the nine major companies, or disappear or fall apart.
Today, more than 90% of the area of Dragon City is rarely seen with these tattoos.
There are only three nest cities, and these ancient survivor organizations, that sustain the last activities.
DynaSky Group started as a mining company.
No matter when and where, those who can enjoy the benefits of mining will not be good men and women.
Qingtian Group has been able to excavate the earliest spar veins discovered in Dragon City since decades ago, and it is naturally inextricably linked to various gangs.
To this day, it is still secretly supporting many gangs in Chaocheng, which is also a regular operation of super enterprises.
Yes, this sturdy man with a gang tattoo on his arm was quite respectful to Lu Siya.
"It's been checked."
The scorpion tattooed man said, "This Jin Yongqiang you are talking about, has always liked to gamble in the 'Black Blood Gladiatorial Arena' in the eastern area of the Golden Tooth Nest City, won and lost in the past few years, and also borrowed some money from the financial companies here, but it was paid off in time, until the beginning of this year, he seemed to have lost very badly, and borrowed a large amount of money from 'Yifu Finance', and the profits have rolled into astronomical amounts."
"Yifu Financial, I have a good relationship with our 'Scorpion Gang', I have already said hello just now, if I go directly, I should be able to find more detailed information."
"Good."
Lu Siya nodded with satisfaction, "Then lead the way!" β
The man with the scorpion tattoo leads the way in front.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya were one foot deep and one foot shallow, walking on the potholed and winding cobweb path of the Golden Tooth Nest City.
The buildings on both sides are illegal buildings, perhaps only seven or eight floors at first, but they have been frantically added to twenty or thirty floors, crooked, as if they are about to collide together.
In order to reinforce, various patches were added, and steel beams and steel columns were also inserted obliquely, and many steel pipes were crooked by the roof of the building, which made Meng Chao tremble.
The deeper you go into Golden Tooth Nest City, the more you can smell an extremely unique smell.
It was the smell of cooking monsters' poisonous internal organs, mixed with inferior perfumes, plus the smell of sweat and hormones, the smell of monsters or human blood, and the smell of heather.
Monster gladiatorial fights are really popular here.
Along the way, Meng Chao has seen hundreds of posters of various underground gladiatorial arenas.
There are also large screens hanging high on the faΓ§ade of the building, all of which repeatedly show the scenes of deformed and ugly mutant monsters, biting each other, and pulling out each other's internal organs, which is far larger than the official formal gladiatorial fights.
There are also many idle young people staggering in the streets and alleys, most of them with holographic devices on their heads, and they can see the images of monsters fighting in real life - all of them are poor people who can't even afford the cheapest tickets, and can only live in this way.
There are also many guys with dragons and phoenixes on their bodies and even on their faces, secretly spying on Meng Chao and Lu Siya, two newcomers whose temperament is incompatible with here.
However, after seeing the two-tailed scorpion tattoo on the leader's arm, he retracted his head.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a place in Dragon City."
Meng Chao couldn't help sighing, "In such a comparison, I'm actually quite happy, although Tianfuyuan is in tatters, it is in good order, the neighbors have at least one regular job, and the children can also receive compulsory education, even if the teaching level is a little inferior, it can meet the basic needs."
"Of course, the existence of Chaocheng is just a helpless compromise, once Dragon City has enough space and resources, the transformation of Chaocheng must still be vigorously promoted, otherwise, this is a time bomb buried inside Dragon City, when we encounter a more powerful enemy, the future of Dragon City will be blown to pieces in minutes."
Thinking of this, Meng Chao couldn't help but concentrate on finding the ending of Chaocheng in the fragments of memories of his previous life.
With a faint stinging pain, the nest city in front of him seemed to be burning with raging flames, screaming, chaos, explosions, countless people cried and fled outside the nest city, the building collapsed, the smoke and dust were filled, and those uncontrolled transcendents hiding in the depths of the nest city were all like the Heavenly Demon Star that had opened the seal, shooting towards the entire Dragon City.
"Hiss......"
Meng Chao covered his chest, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed his heart beating like a war drum.
In the previous life, Dragon City didn't seem to properly handle the problem of Nest City.
Instead, there was a catastrophe of countless casualties.
adds a bit of uncertainty to the outcome of the "Monster Wars".
It also made mankind pay an even more tragic price, barely winning the war, but it also sounded the death knell of the approaching end.
"How so?
"Yes, the Dragon City in the previous life did not win the offensive on the northern front, so there were not enough resources and space to solve the problem of Chaocheng.
"When a monster with superior intelligence appears, it is difficult to get out of the nest city with such a dense population and such a chaotic environment.
"In this life, we have changed the outcome of the offensive on the northern front, and the next large-scale development of the northern front will provide a large number of jobs, and can also bring a steady stream of funds to the survival committee, and can allocate a more adequate budget for the renovation of the nest city, should, can avoid a disaster, right?"
Thinking like this, Meng Chao had already stopped the two-tailed scorpion tattooed strong man in front of him.
They came to a crooked doorway with more than a dozen floors, and then followed the narrow steps into the basement.
A dim neon sign distorted into the words "Yifu Finance".
The tattooed man went first to talk.
Meng Chao asked Lu Siya in a low voice: "Don't you need your red envelope tactics?" β
"No, you don't."
Lu Siya also replied in a low voice, "The people here are all dogs who can't be fed, take out the red envelope, they will only think that you are stupid and have a lot of money, this guy is the small leader of the Scorpion Gang, the Scorpion Gang is in the Golden Tooth Nest City, second only to the Golden Fang Gang, and his words still carry a lot of weight." β
