"Me?"

was stopped by a strong man in iron armor, and the strong guy pointed at himself with a confused look, but he was vigilant in his heart.

He knew the iron armor on the other party's body, and it was said to be an armament eliminated by Noxus, not to mention that the knife could not be cut through. And the people who can wear this dress in Zuan now are all former Hilko's minions.

It's just that now it's renamed, and it seems to be called... Zauan Police Force?

Oh, Zuan is on top, Hilco's gangster is a cop, is there anything funnier than that?

"That's right! That's you! I'm Pete of the Zuan Police Team 2, I see that you have a solid body, have you considered coming to work with us? ”

"Doesn't it matter if your police team pulls strangers like this?" The strong guy was slightly stunned.

"What's your name?"

"I...?" The strong guy hesitated, "Ike! ”

It's his real name, but it's been a long time since it's been used...

"No, your name is Ike, and my name is Pete. We met today, so you're on our 2nd team from now on. Pete smiled heartily and patted Ike on the shoulder.

Oh, Zu An is on top, and it is very unreliable to let a gangster be a police team.

Ike lamented in his heart, and he also complained on his lips:

"No, the police team should be similar to the Piltover Law Enforcement Bureau, where they all demand a clean family background, how does it feel like a fake for you to go to the street and pull someone into the gang at will."

Hearing this, Pete's face turned grim and patted his breastplate:

"Any idea what this is?"

"Noxian armor?" Ike asked cautiously.

"Hey, who said this, look at this sign!" Pete pointed to the pattern on the breastplate.

Ike looked intently and saw that it was a pattern of a potion syringe, a sample that he had played with as a child. It was the symbol of Zu'an, and I don't know who drew it first, but everyone thought it represented Zu'an, so they kept it.

"Zuan's sign, I know, I have one in my house." Ike said truthfully.

There is really one carved on the tree in his house, and he is always alert to help change Zuan.

"That's it, you're from Zu'an, and I'm also from Zu'an. The Zuan people will never lie to the Zuans! Pete grinned.

What a lovely and bold man...

Ike couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

When did the Zuan people become honest and kind good babies, is this still the Zuan he knows?

"Cheng, I decided to join you, do I need to go through any procedures?"

Ike wondered if he had to pay an invitation fee or something, but Victor was really a good man, so he could find a random Zuan man and assign him a job.

"There's no formality, just take a picture and keep it for you. Oh yes, it's time to show your face, it's convenient for you. ”

"Hey, my mask is gas proof, but it doesn't seem to be the same here." Ike hesitated, thinking that no one had ever seen his face, but he took off his mask, revealing the face of a teenager.

He was really interested in Zuan under Victor right now.

Perhaps, joining the police department is a good choice.

"That's different, the black alleys are sprayed with fragrances developed by Lord Victor himself, and it is said that smoking too much can also relieve the addiction of Shimmer."

"Glimmer..."

Thinking of the alchemy potion that Hilko had spread, Ike felt a slight pain in his heart.

Countless people died because of drinking Shimmer, and although they could starve to death or die of thirst if they didn't drink it, this method of forcibly exchanging food and water really didn't make him like it.

The area around Zuan is either sandy or polluted by factories, not to mention growing crops, and even the water source is dyed purple and undrinkable.

If there is a condition to distill seawater for drinking, it is better to get water from Piltover, and those at the bottom can only be thirsty and pray for a rain from heaven.

Wish... Victor is different, isn't he?

Ike clenched his fists and took a deep breath:

"What are we going to do, will it be busy?"

"Of course, now Zaun has to hire people everywhere. Wait, my job is coming, you look at it, you have to do it later. ”

Pete said, and in Ike's curious gaze, he walked up to a glazed-eyed, skinny young man.

"Ahem, stop! How many years have you been smoking Shimmer? ”

"Two... Two years! ”

The young man trembled all over, almost fainted with fright, and sat down on the ground.

"Get up for me, our Zuan people are all hot-blooded men!"

Pete pulled the young man up, and his mouth was full of words:

"Two years, that's a long time. The physical fitness does not rise but falls, and it seems that the potential is not good. ”

"Yes, yes, I just want to live well."

The young man was crying, but he still stood firm.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say you had a problem. Now I have a bag of food and water, do you want to do it? Pete frowned at the young man's cowardice.

Hearing this, Ike was dumbfounded.

Pack of food and water?

Oh, Zu An, why didn't he get such a good treatment?

Is he not as capable as this young man?

Ike glanced at his solid arm in confusion. That's right, it's thicker than the other person's thighs.

So... What went wrong?

"Really!? Dry! Of course dry, how much Shimmer to drink this time? The young man's eyes lit up.

Hearing the young man's words, Ike frowned, his eyes filled with disgust.

Don't... Did he think wrong?

"What kind of shimmer are you drinking, and you still have a glimmer of potential? Now I can't even drink Shimmer, that thing has to be injected professionally by someone with potential. Just do the hands-on work, do you want to do it? ”

Pete pursed his lips and spoke of the glimmer with envy on his face.

"Just hands-on? it! You can manage your mouth, you can do anything. The young man's eyes were filled with hope for life.

"Cheng, I'll go to the police station tomorrow. You can pick a few tasks to do, distribute the honoraria according to the completion of the tasks, or exchange them for the same amount of food and water. Pete explained.

"Not tomorrow, do you have it today?"

The young man pulled Pete, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes, yes, there are three suitable for you today: river investigation, dangerous building marking, and hazard detection..."

Before Pete could finish speaking, he saw the young man running towards the police station without looking back.

Pete, who saw the young man's actions, stared at him, scolded and said a few words of Zuan, and then turned his head to Ike:

"Do you understand?"

"Assign jobs to the Zuans, the weak police bureau will assign tasks, and the stronger ones will be directly pulled into the police station, and everyone will exchange their labor for food." Ike sighed.

In Zaun, at least not so long ago...

Piltover used food and water for social welfare, and even their labor was a luxury, where every penny was not clean, and the law of the jungle was playing out at any time.

He didn't know what would happen to Zuan in the future, but he saw something called hope in the eyes of that glimmer-addicted young man.

If... Victor really represents hope, and Hilco is really for Zaun... Is it still necessary for him to carry out his plan day and night?

Hope, though untouched, has never been so close.

"Pete, take me to the police station to have a look, I also want to contribute to Zuan." Ike said suddenly, solemnly.

"Cheng, I'm about to take you there. The police station is located in a black alley, where the original site is an empty shop with an attic and a basement, which has been converted into the current office building of the police department, as if it used to be called... Benso grocery store, yes, that's the name. ”

"Benso's grocery store used to be a good place." Ike was slightly flustered, and his tone was a little weird.

"Yes, that's a good place to be, that's where Lord Victor was chosen. I remember that we also found some children's creative inventions left behind by the shopkeeper's children, and Lord Victor was quite sorry at the time, saying that if the shopkeeper's children did not die, they would be very promising, and they would be able to contribute a lot to Zaun. ”

Pete slapped his head, and he was excited to take Victor to the site at Hilco's order.

"Hahaha, I think so too."

A smile always hides the sadness in his heart, and Ike holds back tears and follows Pete into the place that used to be a Benso grocery store and is now known as the police department.

A few years later, he's back.

There may be hope for the future life...
