Like most large cities, the Dragon Gate has gradually divided into multiple regions over the years, each with its own unique function. For example, the industrial area where factories are clustered, the commercial area where merchants and consumption places are everywhere, the Shangcheng district where dignitaries and wealthy people live, and so on.

And among them, the slum is a very special place.

On the one hand, the standard of living and sanitation here are terrible, the lack of basic social services has led to the deterioration of Ye'an, and the pervasive poverty has made sin its label.

On the other hand, as long as the gap between rich and poor exists, slums will not die. No matter how much manpower, material and financial resources are invested, it still stands firmly in a corner of the city like a small advertisement posted on a telephone pole.

Although he has a general understanding of the slum as a whole, when he really sets foot on it, Zhao Xi can't help but feel a little emotional. "Isn't there anyone here?"

"Well, strictly speaking, there is, boss~" Carrying a submachine gun in her hand, the burgundy-haired woman turned her head when she heard this, and naturally took over the conversation. "It's just that they are people from the people, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Gate..."

Stepping over a stall of smelly sewage, it took Zhao Xi several seconds to comprehend the subtext of the other party's words. "Uh, so this is the gang in charge?"

"Bingo, boss, you are very perceptive." Smiling and clapping her hands, the wings of light behind the woman were made up of suspended diamond-shaped spots of light that swayed slightly from their movements. Sensing that Zhao Xi's gaze fell on the light wings, she turned around very calmly and shook her upper body like a show off. "Boss, haven't you seen a Sakota?"

"See you for the first time."

Worried that he had violated some taboos, Zhao Xi immediately looked away after answering. No longer looking at the angel girl who made him curious, the young man quickened his pace to keep up with the two people walking in front, and at the same time did not forget to look around:

The dilapidated roads are full of potholes, flowing sewage and discarded garbage, and dense wires form cobwebs in the air, together with illegally built houses, blocking the sunlight in the sky and making the ground dark even during the day;

Yellow-faced and skinny people huddle under the eaves, or smoke violently with cigarette guns, or pour hard with wine bottles, or sit together in groups of threes and twos, passing the time with poker. Dressed as a sexy woman stood at the entrance of the steps, glaring at every man who passed by, but unfortunately no amount of makeup could hide the tiredness in their eyes.

The only thing that gives hope is children. Beneath the shabby clothes were the emaciated bodies of malnutrition, and Zhao Xi saw them gathered around the garbage heap, rummaging through the items that still had value, and laughed from time to time.

"Don't lose your vigilance, boss." Seeing Zhao Xi's frequent attention, the red-haired girl whispered: "They can take your valuable things in a second, and then disappear into the dark passages deep in the alley like the most flexible carters (rabbits)." ”

Feeling that the three views were impacted, Zhao Xi stiffened his movements and looked at the children who were still playing freely, and said slowly after a while: "Thank you for reminding me, Miss Angel." ”

"No need to add Miss, boss." Sticking out her tongue and grimacing, the Sakota woman pointed to Ruper, who was leading the way. "It's the same with Texas, just call us by our code name."

The head of the jaw thanked the other party for his enthusiasm, and Zhao Xigu, who did not dare to be paralyzed anymore, showed his longbow and guarded the surroundings while walking; The doctor, who followed the leader, was like an outing, talking to the employees of Penguin Logistics from beginning to end.

"By the way, how old are you this year? Secret? Well, the age of the girl is indeed a privacy that cannot be mentioned casually, so in order to apologize, when this operation is over, I invite you to dinner as an atonement, what do you think? ”

"Anyway, do you usually buy cosmetics, although Rhode Island has a commissary for operators, but the number of products is very limited, if you don't mind, tell me some brands with good cost performance, and I'll let Croucille buy them then."

"Texas, you're very agile, you're usually exercising... Hey, can't you say that? Why don't you talk about your favorite food? ”

The doctor really wanted to have a good relationship with the second daughter, but unfortunately, in Zhao Xi's eyes, his efforts had little effect--- not to mention that he had dark blue shawl hair and was just a Texas who was in a hurry, and even the angel who was always smiling and welcoming people, if he didn't keep his distance, he only answered a few innocuous questions.

Yes, Rhode Island and Penguin Logistics are an alliance concluded by money, they are like the company's external technical backbone, to put it bluntly, they are taking money to do things, there is no need to love us. After figuring out this relationship, Zhao Xi, who was a little relieved, stared at each other, and noticed that there were several figures blocking the way at the intersection in front of him. "Several, there's a situation."

"It's just a little minion." Without replying, Texas untied the flashlight-shaped device on his waist and waved his hand to transform it into a golden energy sword. "Get out of here, or you will bear the consequences!"

Grinning and revealing Bai Sensen's teeth, and the black crystals embedded in their arms, Filin and Ursas showed reluctance, but finally gave way. Holding the light arrow in his hand, Zhao Xi, who was in charge of the broken aftermath, did not say with some uncertainty until the former disappeared: "Are they infected?" ”

"There are registered infected people," turned on the safety of the firearm, and Neng Angel stood on the right side of the line, explaining as he walked quickly: "From the intersection just now, there is a quarantine area where the infected live in front of you, boss... Huh? ”

"Take it," Seeing that the other party didn't react, Zhao Xi simply stuffed the things into the hands of the angel. Kelsey said that when entering the area where the infected person is, he must wear respiratory equipment to avoid being infected with ore disease. Texas, this one is yours. ”

“... I'm already infected. ”

"Uh, sorry."

"It's okay."

"Okay, okay, that's the end of the romance!" In a way that was difficult to explain, the doctor took the paper out of his pocket and re-read the information he had just received. "Short white hair, Usasian, female, one meter four or five tall, about sixteen years old, named Misha."

"The little rabbit received an order from the Guards Bureau to find such a person, who wanted to see people alive and dead or corpses." Folding the note and looking at the complex path like a spider's web, the Man in the Iron Mask couldn't help but sigh. "Longmen is really calculating, if we fail, he can justifiably refuse to provide any support and drive us into the wilderness."

"It's good to find it," his gaze swept over the chaotic environment, and a familiar pattern came into view, making Zhao Xi's heart rise with strong unease. "Texas, stop moving!".

Stopping the young woman who was about to move forward, the young man hurried into the empty shack by the side of the road, and soon returned to his companion. Facing the puzzled gaze of the three people, Zhao Xi shook the dirty clothes in his hands, so that the pattern on the back was black and white, resembling a DNA strand.

Zhao Xi was deeply impressed by this, a few days ago in Chernobog, countless infected people wore strips of cloth painted with this pattern, chanting slogans to commit numerous crimes in the city.
