Chapter 68: Action, the Prelude
Su Xia turned on her phone and connected to the Internet.
The news apps on his mobile phone pushed him more than a dozen messages in an instant.
Most of the news is related to the "masked monster".
This time, the action was done in full view of everyone, and it really slapped the mechanical clan in the face, so that all forces in the city condemned the Zero Tavern.
"Will that despicable killer continue to do it?"
In the evening news, the host used a series of adjectives such as "despicable", "despicable", and "shameful" to describe Su Xia.
In his description, Su Xiazu can be compared with the famous villains in history.
The tavern still didn't respond, and it was cold.
In the news, the host's tone is extremely tough.
"The city lord is very angry, and the consequences are quite serious!"
"The city's guards have increased several times, and as long as that masked monster appears, he will die without a place to be buried......"
“……”
Many people know that there is another reason why Coral City is so angry this time-
Wu Zhonggui is a traitor to the Terran race!
The more comfortable this traitor is, the easier it is for the rebels in the wilderness to be shaken.
Coral City wanted to use them as propaganda targets, otherwise Wu Zhonggui would not have been allowed to appear in the hanging event in the evening.
But Su Xia's slap was too loud, indirectly telling everyone that surrendering may not necessarily lead to a comfortable life, and there is still a risk of disability or even death.
On the console next to him, Hong Bafu was also watching the news.
He moved his stool, approached Su Xia, and whispered, "Brother Su, I just saw a piece of gossip that someone said that the masked monster had been rescued by Commander Beifeng in his early years. ”
"So? No wonder he took the initiative. ”
Su Xia's face was abrupt, saying that the news was very reasonable.
If I'm not mistaken, this gossip was released by the tavern side, further distinguishing the relationship between "individual members" and "the organization as a whole".
The Zero Tavern is just an organization that issues quests, and as long as the bounty is reasonable, whether it is a mechanical or human bounty, the tavern will accept the bounty, and many of the killers in the tavern are also free.
A very small number of members, in the absence of bounty tasks, do it because of personal emotions......
This kind of thing, the tavern can't control.
"Now everyone is speculating about the whereabouts of the masked monsters." Hong Bafu said mysteriously, "At the Zero Point Tavern, a killer revealed that the masked monster didn't go back...... Many people think that he has left the city limits to avoid searching, and a few people think that he is hiding in the city, and the more dangerous the place, the safer. ”
It's a big deal, and everyone knows about it.
Even a few waiters from the opposite restaurant leaned against the door to talk about it.
Su Xia shrugged his shoulders and said, "Everyone thinks that the masked monster doesn't dare to do it again, if I were him, I would take advantage of this time to kill the horse pistol and slap the mechanical clan in the face." ”
"It's too dangerous to do it at this time." Lan Bafu also came over, "It was said on the news that the defense department dispatched a lot of masters, and even level 3 psionic creatures have acted. ”
"Well, level 3 creatures are really dangerous......"
Su Xia looked out the window, her mind moving slightly.
He's already recovered to level 3.3 psionic energy, and he should be able to fully recover tomorrow.
At this time, the father sitting in the back knocked on the counter and said in a flat tone: "Why are they all playing with their mobile phones?" Is the business still going to work? When will the money owed to Daddy be paid? ”
"Teacher, we were wrong!"
The three of them immediately put down their mobile phones and continued the great cause of refining medicine.
The success rate of Su Xia's second-order elixir is still not high, and he is still in a situation where he is losing more and more as he refines, and he is too lazy to calculate how much money he owes.
Outside the window, the night was thick, and the moonlight was not as bright as it was in the wilderness.
Every once in a while, a patrol scurries by, and occasionally soldiers come in and ask if they see any suspicious people.
Su Xia noticed that there were also a lot of mechanical soldiers in Coral City.
These mechanical soldiers are directly subordinate to the city lord, and their appearance means that the city lord is indeed angry.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was half past nine in the evening.
Daddy got up from behind the counter, seemed a little irritable, picked up the coffee cup and said, "Close the door, rest early tonight, those soldiers are running around, making Daddy not in the mood for business!" ”
"Yes!"
He jumped up from his seat, closed the window, and cleaned up his counter.
Lan Bafu began to sort out the remaining materials that had not been used up today.
Suxia began to clean up the scrapped garbage.
More than ten minutes later, the pharmacy closed and the lights on the first floor went out.
The four of them washed up and returned to their rooms not long after, ending the day's business.
Su Xia lay on the bed, did not sleep, quietly listened to the movements in the room left and right.
It didn't take long for the voice to come out.
"Whew...... ZZzz……”
The two old brothers fell asleep.
Su Xia took out the red camouflage crystal, pressed it on his forehead, and began to modify his personal appearance, even his figure.
He changed himself into a sallow, thin body, and looked like a refugee who had not had enough to eat for a long time.
Then he climbed out of the window and walked quickly towards the mission location.
Along the way, he tried to avoid the main roads and walked through the dark alleys to avoid the patrolling soldiers.
More than forty minutes later, Su Xia arrived at the mission location.
"Refugee camp ......"
After the end of the war, half of Coral City was in ruins.
But the reconstruction has not been carried out for a long time, and even the most basic clean-up has not been done, and the bare and twisted steel bars on the rubble have long since crawled with rust, and the cracks between the cement slabs and broken bricks have been filled with weeds.
At first, the refugees wanted to clean up the rubble and rebuild their homes on their own.
But it was soon forcibly stopped.
At that time, the city's administrators promised to provide money and supplies to help all refugees rebuild their homes in a more orderly manner.
This commitment has been delayed to this day.
What was once a makeshift refugee camp seems to have become permanent.
The poor lived in houses built from scraps of iron, rags, and bricks, with no work and no food, and they wanted to reclaim the land in the suburbs outside the city, but the land was in the hands of the rich.
The affluent area in the center of the city has been rebuilt in the past few years, and the streets and houses there are clean and tidy, and there is no trace of war.
In this way, the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer.
As far as the eye can see, countless low, dilapidated refugee houses are lined up in the night, like the slums of the old days.
"Bang!"
Before Su Xia could get closer, she heard a gunshot.
Someone was executed, and the reason for the execution was "not reporting" and withholding information about the masked monster.
The human soldiers held their guns, their faces cold, like emotionless executioners.
Many of them, who were poor people who didn't have enough to eat before they became soldiers, now picked up their guns and turned their guns on other poor people.
