Chapter 128: Convergent Species 1
The purpose of the Dragon Elephant's establishment of the Blue Dragon Group is very simple - that is, to use the power of the world to obtain resources.
Money, power, connections, intelligence...... These things are not things that can be obtained by releasing thousands of bloods from space and slashing around.
You must know that the world of Tokyo is not a Condor Hero, as long as you have a knife in your hand, you can run amok.
Modern countries have long since built a powerful apparatus of domination on the basis of technology, for example, in terms of access to the results of CCG research...... It's much easier to save his wife from a researcher who has been doing research for many years than it is to go straight to the heavily guarded National Research Institute!
If it's really just a matter of relying on the strength in your hands...... Presumably, the government army behind the CCG will soon use missiles and tanks to teach the Blood Clan soldiers under the Dragon Elephant "how to behave". A modern country is definitely not a place where thousands or hundreds of militants can run amok.
Long Xiang and Shao Cheng are very aware of these differences, so they use different means to achieve their goals in different worlds, rather than just relying on brute force.
……
The gangsters engaged in the skin and meat business are usually local snakes, who have been entrenched in one place all year round to form a huge local protective umbrella, and have formed a solid and mutually beneficial "circle" with local officials, police, and wealthy people. So they often seem entrenched, numerous, and arrogant.
However, the skin and meat business is the skin and meat business.
Gangsters who rely on bullying women, the weak, fraud, black-and-white collusion are used to living a comfortable life.
They are good at bullying unarmed ordinary people, but if they really compare their combat effectiveness, they are often a group of local chickens and dogs. It's going to break if it's hard to touch!
Long Xiang discharged more than a dozen blood clan soldiers, each with a pistol snatched from Baiyue Wujia Village, and easily wiped out this gang overnight.
Of course, these things are just a small episode. Because things like Koji Oda are by no means unique - even those who do not take the initiative to come to the door, Long Xiang will order his subordinates to gather these scattered experts under the command of rich salaries, inducements, and even coercion.
Along with the funds obtained from the elimination of other gangs and the sale of gold and silver in Xiangyang City through the black market, almost eighty percent of these funds were also used to purchase various research equipment.
Almost once a week, the dragon elephant made a special trip to the warehouse rented in the name of the Qinglong Group, and transported the equipment, personnel, supplies, and even a large number of building materials into the system space, where it was built into a large new research institute.
Compared with the dragon elephant that put almost all of his experience in the construction of the space, Shao Cheng's life is much richer.
He frequently holds research materials co-written by experts in the space, and attends various academic forums as an expert who wants to solve the problem of cannibalism.
In public, he preached that "the meow is just a subspecies of humans." should have rights", "human beings should help mew to quit cannibalism".
His famous saying that "discrimination is equal to racial discrimination" has been mentioned repeatedly. Even those who pay a little attention to the news in this area have come to know this biologist who is committed to the harmonious coexistence of mew species and humans.
And privately.
Shao Cheng took advantage of the introduction of everyone in the café in Anding District, and gradually penetrated into the society that is extremely difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with.
……
Nerima area.
This is the 20th ward of Tokyo, which is now a relatively stable area. Although it is not completely devoid of mew predation, at least most of the meows that live here do not go crazy preying on humans. Or fight fiercely with each other.
In front of a small apartment with a courtyard. A couple with their five- or six-year-old daughter stood there with a worried look on their face.
"Husband. Do you really want to believe this person? The woman's expression was worried.
The man hesitated.
But in the end, I remembered the scene when I went out to "hunt" a few days ago and was almost blocked in the alley by a white pigeon...... In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "There are more and more investigators now, and they are always attacking each other...... We're just C-class mews, and we can't even use Katsuko well. Instead of starving so often. Let's see if this person can be trusted! After all, there are many people who say that the Being does provide a safe place and food supply for everyone. ”。
"So what do we have to give? It's impossible for the other party to raise so many seeds, don't do anything? The woman asked again.
"Of course not. If that's true...... This must be another trap on the part of CCG. I heard that the man wanted the allegiance of all the sheltered meows...... That is, to work for him. And he ensures that the family can live in a mysterious place that is completely safe from the CCG and the government, and provides the human flesh they need to survive. ”。
"But ......."
"No, it's Yukiko!!" The man suddenly and rudely interrupted his wife's dissuasion, and the startled woman looked at her husband only to find that two lines of tears had been hung on the other party's usually strong face!
"At this point, I'll tell you, Yukiko!" The man relented, and finally said the reason: "We have been targeted by the search officer!" ”。
"Ahh The woman exclaimed, then quickly covered her mouth, and looked around in horror with a pair of big eyes: "How come?" Aren't you careful to go hunting in Shinjuku every time? ”。
"But it's not more than ten years ago!" The man scratched his hair in pain: "In recent years, the streets have been full of cameras!" Shoot cars, shoot people, manage public security, and even install personal installations to prevent thieves! In the air! Even in Shinjuku, if you're not careful, you can be discovered! The last time I was hunting, I spotted a white pigeon nearby, if it weren't for the secret door in that alley that only I knew...... I can't come back last time! I suspect my face has been photographed...... If you go home, chances are the white dove waiting there! ”。
"So what should I do? Why don't we flee abroad? Husband! "The woman is obviously terrified of the CCG, which specializes in killing mews.
"It's useless to run! Identity verification is now required everywhere, and there are monitors everywhere...... We can escape for a while, but sooner or later we will be caught! So...... There is no way back. Maybe only this person can save us! The man seems to have not only told his wife why, but also persuaded himself to make up his mind again.
Knowing that he had no way to retreat at this time, he reached out and rang the doorbell on the side of the courtyard gate. (To be continued......)
