Walking into the edge of Night City, there are low shacks next to huge garbage heaps, which are as cluttered as a shanty town. On both sides of the narrow street, there are low and dilapidated shacks and board houses made of various collected materials, some of which emit a faint light, but most of them are dark inside. Occasionally, there was a cough or two or two of coughing or groans of pain coming from the slab houses, and there was a foul smell in the stinking gutters of the narrow streets.

Occasionally, one or two pedestrians walked by on the street, all dressed in ragged and shabby clothes, and they hurried with their heads down, and saw that the stars and several people were far away, and they looked like they were only resigned.

Jack whispered to a few people that this was a slum and that the people who lived here were the lowest.

At this moment, in an alley ahead, there was a sudden cry, and Xingchen stopped and looked there.

It seems to be a robbery, Dao Nan said.

Go and see, Xingchen took the lead. Jack said behind him, this kind of thing happens all the time here, and you can't control it if you want to.

Xingchen said, "If you see it, you have to take care of it."

Through the faint light, Xingchen saw two obscene-looking humanoid men in the narrow alley, and an ant woman lying on the ground. The two humanoid men held glittering daggers in their hands, and blood was dripping from the tips of the knives, and the ant women on the ground were silent.

One of the humanoids with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks saw Xingchen coming, and with a fierce glint in his eyes, he stabbed at Xingchen with a dagger in his hand, and Xingchen reached out and grabbed his wrist with lightning speed, twisted it vigorously, and broke this guy's arm, and the humanoid immediately let out a pig-killing howl from his mouth, and Xingchen kicked him into the gutter by the side of the road, and this guy immediately fainted and stopped moving.

Seeing that the stars were so powerful, the other humanoids on the side were so frightened by the approaching stars that they kept retreating, and finally let out a strange cry in their mouths in fear, turned around and ran into the depths of the alley.

Xingchen came to the side of the ant woman lying on the ground, and the wound on the woman's chest was lying bloody, and she had already lost her breath. She clutched a small rag package in her hand, and a shriveled black bread appeared in a scattered corner.

Dao Nan behind him opened his mouth and said, just lost his life for a loaf of bread, is it worth it?

Jack let out a long sigh and said, maybe the children in her family were waiting for their mother to bring back food. And this loaf of bread is the only food they have for tonight, and even for the next few days. And the two men who robbed just now may have their parents, wives and children in their homes who are waiting for them to bring back food.

Jack had been wandering outside the country a few years ago, and had lived at the bottom of society, and Jack had a deep understanding of this kind of poor life.

Because the daylight hours are too short and there is a shortage of food, this kind of thing happens every day for the sake of a day's meal.

Everyone sighed, they didn't have much to do in the face of this kind of thing, Xingchen was a little heavy, and said, let's go.

A few people gradually walked out of the slum, the street was wider, and some adobe houses appeared on both sides, and the lights inside were brighter, but they still looked so dirty.

There were more and more pedestrians on the streets, and their clothes were neater and less ragged and shabby.

As we went, the lights gradually increased, illuminating the streets a little brighter. There are also a number of spacious shops, most of which are hung with neon lights of different colors in front of their doors, constantly flickering in the dark, reflecting the passing passers-by in a strange light, like a group of wandering lonely ghosts.

At this time, a large group of people suddenly ran in the distance, this group of people had knives and clubs in their hands, a few people still had a few modern weapons in their hands, they looked fierce and vicious, and several of them had wounds on their bodies, as if they had suffered a loss in the first place, and were leading people to seek revenge.

The street was tossed by this group of people, and the pedestrians dodged one after another, and one person was kicked to the ground because he was a little slow to dodge, and he didn't even dare to snort and rolled to the side of the road.

Xingchen and the others didn't want to cause trouble, so they flashed to the side of the road to get out of the way, and those people came to the front and walked over when they saw Xingchen.

The leader was a dog clansman, carrying a laser gun in his hand, and came to Xingchen and a few people with his arms crossed, and asked loudly, who are you?

Jack stepped forward and stared coldly at the dog man and said, people passing by.

The leader of the dog clan narrowed his eyes, and saw that Xingchen and several people were wearing cloaks, their heads and faces were covered in their hoods, and there was a sense of mystery on their bodies.

As if he thought that Xingchen was not easy to mess with, he rolled his eyes, then waved his hand to his subordinates and shouted, go, and the group of men who led him roared away.

Looking at the backs of those people, Xingchen said, what kind of people are these, they are really arrogant.

Jack spat on the ground, saying disdainfully, a bunch of street ruffians can't get on the big stage.

Dao Nan said, don't underestimate them, these street ruffians have stronger forces behind them, otherwise how dare they be so arrogant. Although these guys don't have any great abilities, they are the most informed in the market every day.

Dao Nan glanced at a subordinate named Mu Zi in the guard, and Mu Zi stepped forward to stop a passing pedestrian and asked, how should I go to the Cheetah Mercenary Group?

As soon as the man heard that it was a cheetah mercenary group, his face immediately changed, and without even answering, he dodged and walked away. Then I asked a few more people, and they all looked like they were afraid of provoking fire.

Finally, he finally stopped a person, who first looked left and right, stretched out his index finger and thumb and twisted quickly in front of Muzi, and then looked expectant.

Mu Zi understood, took out a banknote and handed it over, the man snatched the banknote in his hand, as if he was afraid that Mu Zi would regret it, and hurriedly put it into his arms, and then shook his head and gestured his finger again, looking at Mu Zi with a greedy and cunning smile on his face.

Muzi had no choice but to take out another banknote, but this time Muzi also learned to be obedient, and he didn't give it to him again in his hand, the man was helpless, so he secretly pointed forward and whispered, and then turned right after a block, after speaking, the man quickly snatched the banknote in Muzi's hand, and hid in the dark in a flash.

Jack looked at the man's back and said, "Why do I think this man is a liar?"
