Yang Lulu glanced at her watch and said with a cold expression: "If you don't want to negotiate, then I'll leave now." Don't prevaricate me with excuses like people getting in the way. That doesn't work, I don't eat it. ”

These words were extremely cold, and Ozawa Rongreiko's face changed slightly, and the hatred in her eyes became more and more profound.

She has always thought that it should be good news that the Chinese side sent this woman named Yang Lulu as a negotiator. After all, most women have softer personalities than men, and they are often easily moved by tragic things. When the subjective mind is infected by external circumstances, there will be errors in the judgment of the thing itself. The simplest example is the farmer and the snake, who are always motivated by kindness and love to help their opponents, knowing that something may pose a potential threat to them.

"I know you're one of the mystery people."

This sentence suddenly came out and was headless, causing Yang Lulu to frown slightly, and shifted her focus to Ozawa Rongreiko who was sitting next to her.

"Weird, isn't it? It's a new word. It was first heard from the Americans, and only later did it slowly attract our attention. ”

Sakazawa Eiko no longer had a cold and cruel expression on her face, she leaned back in her seat relaxed, her eyes looked out the window, and her tone was thick and nasal: "You look much younger than me." It's just a façade. Actually, you're over a hundred years old, old enough to be my grandmother. ”

Yang Lulu was noncommittal to these words. The group of "worker bees" is getting bigger and bigger, and whether it is in contact with the military department or other countries, Lao Song and others always have to come forward to make the final decision. The pervasive intelligence officers have long since built up a detailed dossier of the main members of the "swarm". Over the past 100 years, many countries have had several heads of government. Lao Song, Du Tianhao, and Cao Rui are still alive. This way of life continuation is unnatural, nor is it the result of Wang Qinian's semi-mechanical and semi-biological transformation of the body. Especially some of the women in the "swarm", such as Yang Lulu, many people know that she is actually a little girl who escaped from the abandoned city of Kunming in the early days of the virus outbreak. The Immortal Calendar is a secret that almost everyone dreams of, and both the military and other countries are trying to find the key to it. The word "mysterious man" is exactly the general name for the leaders of "bee swarms" such as Lao Song in the top secret archives of the CIA more than 60 years ago.

"I know you've seen it before, and you've experienced pain and darkness. Those things have probably become memories for you, very faint, and you hardly have to think about them. We are still struggling, still lingering in death and suffering. It's not our fault, why do we have to bear this qiē? ”

Sakae Ozawa's body was tense. It can be seen that she is obviously controlling her feelings. For this sudden change, Yang Lulu felt a little inexplicable, and she didn't understand what the other party wanted to express? However, the contrast in strength between the two sides is obvious. Yang Lulu herself is a fifth-order strengthener, and there are two evolutionary "worker bees" around her as guards. Although the convoy consisted of five off-road vehicles and dozens of armed soldiers sent by the Japanese side, they were no match for the three members of the Chinese delegation.

"You're half an hour ahead of schedule."

Suddenly, Sakae Reiko Ozawa looked at her watch, then turned her gaze to Yang Lulu and asked, "Are you interested in visiting the dark side of New Tokyo Base City?" I promise, there's a lot of stuff here that you've never seen before. ”

Her words were seductive, with a strong and suppressed tremble. Yang Lulu silently stared at Ozawa Rongriko for a few seconds, and nodded slowly.

The convoy soon pulled into a neighborhood marked with yellow-black markings. According to Yang Lulu's understanding of the planning and design of the base city, this should belong to the blank zone near the sixth or seventh floor. The so-called "spacer" refers to the storage area outside the normal engineering level. These spaces are often built together with the main production hall or simply built on the hollowed-out resource level and used for additional debris after the installation of simple waterproofing, shockproof and air circulation equipment.

Strictly speaking, this kind of place is not suitable for human habitation. However, in front of Yang Lulu's eyes, it is a bustling and noisy neighborhood.

The streets are narrow and lined with bars, casinos, pharmacies and quirky shops. The buildings here are supposed to be built by the occupants themselves, and there are few reinforced concrete buildings, which are basically piled up with discarded shipping containers and transformed into living rooms and activity spaces using the internal space.

Just as the off-road vehicle drove into the corner of the block, Yang Lulu smelled a strong smell of alcohol in the air.

Yes, it is wine. But the smell is not mellow in any way, but has the pungent sensation of high-purity alcohol.

The smell came from the crowded bars on the street. It was dozens of containers stacked on top of each other, with the partitions in the middle broken through, leaving only the frame of the metal structure, which was replaced by transparent glass for inlay. The whole street is full of bars, and there are all kinds of colorful and colorful signs. Through the glass and open doors, you can see that the bar cabinet is full of wine bottles. There are the valuable Remy Martin XO, there are also Dynasty Cognac, and the most famous Moutai liquor from China...... But the bottle is just a bottle after all, and Yang Lulu's excellent eyesight can clearly see that the bottle is actually empty, and there is no liquid in it, just as an ornament.

There are quite a few burly men standing outside the bar, and the temperature here is only about 25 degrees due to the uniform use of constant temperature control in the base city. Most of these men wore leather waistcoats, which were open to reveal their hairy chests, large tattoos on their arms and backs, and different styles of weapons could be seen on their waists. There are pistols, and there are daggers. There were also a couple of tall guys who simply carried a shotgun on their backs. Seeing the convoy approaching, the strong men stopped talking and took out their weapons one after another. It wasn't until they confirmed that the people in the car were not hostile that they scolded and dispersed.

The convoy moved on.

More street scenes appeared in front of Yang Lulu's eyes. In the depths of Bar Street, scantily clad women can be seen everywhere. Backless suspenders and short skirts that can barely cover **** have almost become the uniform clothing here. The clothes were poorly made, and many of them were simply connected with needles and threads, just enough to wrap around a few straps in front of them. They gather in groups of twos and threes, or stand alone on the side of the street in a daze. As soon as a man approached, they immediately gathered around like a blood-soaked fly, making all kinds of exaggerated poses to show off their figure as much as possible. Although it was not clear what they were saying, Yang Lulu had seen a similar situation among the civilians of Base City decades ago. It was just a flesh-and-skin trade between men and women, with men to satisfy their desires and women to fill their stomachs.

In addition to the smell of alcohol, the air is also filled with hormones. The trading place is the container facing the street, not to mention the sound insulation effect, and you can even see the clumps of flesh colliding with each other through the open windows and doors. Men come to this kind of place to vent, and although women are disgusted by this rudeness and violence, for the sake of money, they can only grit their teeth and bear it silently.

"I lived here until I was seventeen."

Sakaeko Ozawa pointed to a container marked with the number "304" on the side street, and said in a lonely voice, "My mother is a prostitute, and she herself doesn't know who my father is. Condoms are a product of peacetime and have become very expensive here. Women's contraceptive method usually requires the client to directly on their face during orgasm to satisfy the other party's pleasure. Not every man likes to do this, and once the guests are satisfied, the woman has to wash her lower body as much as she can in the shortest possible time. Although the contraceptive rate is not 100 percent, at least most of the **** is washed out of the body. However, there are always exceptions to things, and if you are pregnant, a woman can only consider herself unlucky. There are so many men coming and going here that it's impossible to tell who the father of the child is. In my dictionary, the word "daddy" has never been stored. He's a villain, a humanoid pig like a mutated creature, a dog mongrel who lifts his pants and doesn't care about anything! ”

"This is the "Actress Street". Strange name, isn't it? This is what men call it, and although they don't like it, over time, women get used to it. Children born here usually have only one fate: they join a gang and die outside, or they are killed in a conflict. The second is that they are born and sold as goods. There are many people who like to eat babies, their meat is tender and their bones are crispy, and baby sashimi is popular at the most famous "Yamato" restaurant in the wealthy area. It is packed every day, especially fresh baby meat, which must be booked a month in advance. ”

Yang Lulu listened quietly to Ozawa Rongreiko's words. Her face was calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but it was difficult to detect.

"The third fate is dedicated to the girls born here."

Speaking of this, Sakae Ozawa's voice became a little hoarse: "I started coming out to pick up customers when I was eight years old. You can't imagine what a terrible nightmare it was. The man was stronger than a wild bear, and for two boxes of canned food and five kilograms of rice, my mother knocked me unconscious with a stick and threw me in the room to do whatever the guy wanted. When I ran out to find her crying and crying out afterwards, she told me: virgins are actually like that, and the most valuable thing is the membrane. The man could afford the price and was the most daring customer on the street. That is, because I am still young, so I give such a high price. You know, the usual price of a virgin is only three catties of rice or flour, and the most beautiful and skilled woman on the street can only get a cold rice ball wrapped in salted dried plums from a man at a time. ”

Out of the resonance between women about certain things, Yang Lulu put away her previous indifference a little and asked with interest: "Then how did you become a diplomat?" There should be no intersection between your current identity and your past. ”

"People, they're all forced out."

Sakaeko Ozawa's fat face trembled all the time, and she wiped her face a few times, with a thick sadness in her voice: "My mother has always used me as a tool. She asked me to pick up like crazy. The most memorable moment was my 11th birthday. That day, I picked up more than 30 guests. When the last man got up from me, I felt like I was almost going to die. I had never hated my mother like that, she had been haggling with those men in the outside room, as if she had forgotten that I was her daughter and that I was just her money-making tool. ”

Yang Lulu's eyes showed a faint doubt. She could understand Eiko Ozawa speaking in such an unforgettable tone of hatred, and she could also imagine the hellish horror scene for a woman. But she didn't understand why Sakae Ozawa kept calling her "mother" in the narrative if the woman's evil deeds were so disgusting.

"You must think it's weird, don't you?"

Despite being shrouded in angry memories of the past, Sakae Reiko Ozawa is still able to control her feelings and can say in a calm voice, "I killed her." That very night, I sneaked into her room with a knife I had prepared in advance. The people on the actress street are not afraid of blood, and while we rely on our bodies to make money to survive, we also know a lot about how to stimulate men and the structure of human organs. I thrust it so accurately that it hit the liver straight away, and she jumped out of bed like an evil spirit, screaming and rolling around the room. I had long wanted to take out this bastard who was squeezing oil out of me, the knife I had secretly sharpened with barbs on it, and she pulled it out with all her might, taking out a large piece of meat, and the intestines and liver were almost all dragged out. I was covered in her blood, hot and sticky. I just stood like that, watching her struggle back and forth. Her eyes were full of disbelief, and she didn't believe that her daughter had done it. ”

Yang Lulu interjected lightly: "You have a sense of accomplishment? ”

"At the time, it was."

Eiko Ozawa nodded slowly: "However, something unexpected happened to me. She dragged herself to the bed and took out a small wooden box from the secret compartment under the partition. She crawled to my feet with the box in her arms. I'll never forget the look on her face when she laid the box in front of me. Relieved, it seems to be liberated. I don't see her pre-death pain, only hopeful anticipation and a glimmer of remorse. ”

"The box was stuffed with bits and pieces of banknotes, all of which were blue coins in legal circulation. There are pennies in change, and there are coins in pennies and cents. I counted the money, and it was more than forty dollars. At the very bottom of these shredded banknotes is a leaflet torn from the wall. ”

Yang Lulu narrowed her eyes and subconsciously asked, "Leaflets?" ”

"Soldiers are dying every day in the army, and the various units of the base also need to be replenished with new recruits. Those positions were originally held by a certain class of people. When the rate of blood loss is much greater than the rate of hematopoiesis, more fresh blood is needed to replenish it. The mass recruitment of civilians began the year after the outbreak of the virus. At that time, the scope was limited to soldiers, but in the second year before I was born, many administrative units, such as the Ministry of Finance and Economics and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, began to recruit from civilians. However, the recruitment criteria were much stricter than those of ordinary soldiers, requiring them to pass a series of exams and a fee of two hundred blue coins per person. ”

"It wasn't until that moment that I really understood why she had made me desperate to pick up customers. Long-term pain is better than short-term pain, and temporary humiliation does not mean that it will always be like this. You may not be able to imagine the unbearably low standard of exchange between goods and banknotes in civilian areas. After my mother died, I tried to exchange a can for money, and to put it mildly, I only got three cents. ”

Yang Lulu showed a clear expression. She leaned back in her chair and didn't ask questions.

"Mother has made a good start, so naturally there is no reason why I should not continue the unfinished part."

Sakae Reiko didn't care about Yang Lulu's attitude, and continued: "In order to save enough two hundred yuan, I turned myself into the craziest prostitute. Even if it is a dirty and violent man, I will accompany him to bed. I went out of my way to meet the various perverted demands of men. Due to malnutrition, the women of Actress Street are thin, and here, fat women are instead a beauty that men desperately desire. If you want to gain weight, the best way is to allow yourself to eat more. If I want to save money, it's simply impossible. Two hundred yuan blue coins is also an extremely large astronomical amount. Most of the money my mother left me was her life savings. At that rate, if I had saved up enough $200, I would have to stay on Actress Street for at least another twenty years. The premise is that at least ten or more men visit me every day. ”

"Just when I was at my wit's end, the Imperial Research Headquarters went to the civilian area to recruit people. That's a very terrible kind of reality. They need to test the mutated organisms for their genes and ability to reproduce. Volunteers need to take the initiative to cooperate. The captured mutant creatures are kept in cages, bound to limbs and necks, injected with sex hormones, and then mated with male and female volunteers respectively to obtain fertilized embryos for the purpose of biological warrior research. ”

"This kind of real yàn is extremely dangerous. Although the mutated creatures are completely immobilized, there are always a variety of uncertain accidents that occur during mating. The term "volunteer" is, of course, just a nominal term. Despite the high price offered by the Imperial Institute, few people were willing to accept it. After all, although the life in the civilian area is sad, it is good to live freely. Once the voluntary agreement is signed, the chances of survival are extremely slim. ”
