In A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens wrote:

"It's the best of times and it's the worst......"

“…… People have everything, people have nothing......"

“…… People are on the road to heaven, people are walking towards the gates of hell. ”

Such words seem to apply to every era, to everyone.

On this planet, the post-war order has not yet stabilized, there are opportunities everywhere, wealth everywhere, psionic power enhancement, potions to improve the body, many terminal diseases are no longer a problem, and even the road to mechanical immortality is about to be taken.

For some, this is the best of times.

But for those who live here in the slums, this era could not be worse, and even another war would not be much worse.

The light of the times cannot shine on everyone, but the evil of the times will do everything possible to overwhelm everyone.

"Smack!"

Su Xia closed the two iron boxes and used her powers.

The two boxes were sent in by him through the narrow window and slowly flew to Liu Hongying's bedside.

A blank look appeared on the woman's face, and she stretched out her withered hand to open the first box.

When she saw the stacks of cash in the box, her hands trembled, and she hurriedly turned her head to look out the window, but there was no one outside.

She opened another box and saw the six potions, as well as the few words Su Xia had left behind.

"Life always gets better......

It was just a few simple words, but her eyes were red, she covered her mouth, leaned on the side of the bed, and tears flowed silently down the corners of her eyes.

Susha has already gone far.

Before leaving, he used a thin iron needle to silently get rid of several wicked people around him.

In this area created by suffering, he can't do much, and many things are powerless.

There are many media people in Fish Scale City who like to come to this place to collect information, and then go back to hype it up, praising the people here for their strong life in the midst of suffering.

But suffering is not worthy of being celebrated, because there should be no suffering in this world.

If we were born to suffer, what is the point of coming into this world?

It was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

Su Xia walked out of the slum and walked back to the old city, intending to go back and tell Xue Lie about his apprentice.

But he had not gone far before he slowly stopped.

"Huh?"

Su Xia's eyes moved slightly, and in the surging white mist in front of him, a figure of Mohu appeared.

Behind him, a figure also appeared.

Not only that, with him as the center, dense footsteps sounded in many surrounding streets, as if countless people were running towards him.

Su Xia raised his vigilance and immediately dispersed countless nanobots.

Through the vision of these robots, he saw the specifics.

Around him were countless warriors armed with weapons made of wood, ceramics, special plastics, and other materials, all wearing heavy armor made of ceramic and composite plastics, and they did not show a trace of weakness.

This group of people, come prepared!

"Brother Mask, you're a guest from afar."

A deep voice came from the fog ahead.

The figure of the Mohu Lake gradually became clear, it was a tall middle-aged man, more than two meters tall, with a flat head, rough and dark skin, wearing a black suit, but the clothes were bulging with muscles, and he was as strong as a bear.

He unleashed the psionic fluctuations in his body, which undoubtedly reached level 4.0.

[Jiang Xiong, male, 43 years old, level 4.0 psionic creature, honorary chairman of Jiang's Group in Fish Scale City]

After reading the panel data, Su Xia's expression remained unchanged and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

"How about a few drinks?" The man in the back smiled: "If I don't do anything, I'm afraid that others will say that I am not considerate in Fish Scale City." ”

The man walked out of the fog step by step, and it was a lean middle-aged man.

Su Xia turned her head to look at the figure panel.

[Wei Zhong, male, 47 years old, level 4.0 psionic creature, honorary chairman of the Wei Group of Fish Scale City, and now the human city lord of Fish Scale City]

This battle is not small, even the city lord came in person, ordinary people don't have this treatment.

This guy's strength is much stronger than that waste Qi Lang in Coral City, and his own momentum is not comparable to Qi Lang.

Sure enough, the control of the mechanical clan over Coral City is too strict, so that the strength of the human race in the city is generally not high, and there is not even a strong family.

The scale of Fish Scale City is not as large as Coral City, but now two fourth-level creatures have come to stop Su Xia.

These two people are the leaders of the two super family businesses in Xue Lin's mouth.

The situation in this city is very peculiar, the mayor changes almost every year, and the two families change positions.

The two families monopolized most of the industries in the city, and even the human army guarding the city had many people from the two families.

In ancient times, this practice was to kill the head, but the mechanical tribes were too lazy to care, as long as the human races in the city did not riot.

Su Xia asked, "How many drinks are going to go?" Are you in for a treat? ”

"Of course, we have a treat, how can there be a reason for guests to give money." Wei Zhong laughed, the smile on his face looked very sincere, but the spiritual energy fluctuations in his body did not converge in the slightest.

It stands to reason that Su Xia has nothing to do with these two families.

But now, the other party is clearly coming with a threat.

"What did Xue Lin tell you?" Su Xia thought of the reason.

"Nothing." Jiang Xiong smiled, "That young man said, Brother Mask, you are very dissatisfied with our industry, and it seems that you plan to get rid of them one by one?" ”

"You're not that stupid to do something stupid."

Su Xia knew this and asked, "Then what did Xue Lin promise you?" He has given you all his inheritance? ”

"Hehe, sort of, exchange his industry for a life, and he won't live in fear for the rest of his life, no matter how you look at it, it's worth it."

"yes, I see."

Xue Lin does have some means and courage, and he is very decisive.

This is a huge industry that he has worked hard to run for a long time, and he has poured countless efforts into it, and he can even say that he can let it go, and give it away directly, in exchange for the protection of the two huge groups.

If it were someone else, most of them wouldn't be able to do this, and they would only find a way to fight Su Xia to the death.

Jiang Xiong loosened the muscles on his body and said, "Brother Mask, there are not so many life-and-death things in this world, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, what do you think?" How about a few drinks? ”

Su Xia smiled: "You brought hundreds of thugs to invite me to drink?" ”

"Don't bring more people, I'm afraid I won't move you."

"I'm not in the mood to drink today."

"Some wines don't depend on mood." Wei Zhong said in the back, "Brother Mask, you know what I mean. ”

Both of them were not afraid of Su Xia, their self-confidence came from their own strong strength, as well as the huge family behind them, and the two of them were absolute authority in this Fish Scale City.

Although Su Xia is famous, his identity as a masked monster has never killed a level 4 creature head-on.

There are too few fourth-level creatures, most of them are the existence of a city with a head and a face, and they rarely fight each other.

He and the city lord of Yutuo could only fight to a draw, and he never responded to Wang Teng's appointment in the wilderness, which made a few people feel that he did not have the ability to defeat creatures of the same level.

Now two to one, there are hundreds of people around to assist, and it goes without saying who the advantage is.

"Brother Mask, have you thought about it?"

Jiang Xiong opened his mouth to ask, and a sharp dagger of composite materials appeared in his hand, and the threat between his words was self-evident.

Su Xia nodded: "Think about it." ”

Jiang Xiong thought that Su Xia had softened: "Okay, let's go to the tavern and ...... things."

But before he finished speaking, Su Xia moved.

A sharp sword suddenly pierced the mist and struck Jiang Xiong from behind at an extremely tricky angle.

Jiang Xiong was shocked, this sword was too close to him, when did it float over?

"Sneak attack! Despicable villain! ”

He cursed, instantly activated the psionic shield, and the whole person fell to the ground in embarrassment, and he was able to avoid the blow.

It is worthy of a fourth-level creature, and its reaction speed is indeed much faster than that of a third-level creature.

The sword flew across his shield, making a screeching sound.

This move instantly caused a series of chain reactions.

"Hugh—"

A flickering flare rose into the air, streaking across the foggy sky.

All the warriors on standby saw it.

"I didn't talk about it, the masked monster did it."

"Let's go up together and destroy him!"

"When I came to Fish Scale City, I still dare to be arrogant, do you really think of yourself as a character?"

"Come on, brothers, whoever can kill the mask monster will be able to get the family's key cultivation!"

“……”

In fact, these fighters were all transferred from the Fish Scale City troops, all of them were well-trained, and their combat quality was much higher than that of ordinary people.

But they are not fighting to defend the city at the moment, but to fight for their own family.

These hundreds of people, either surnamed Wei or Jiang, are all soldiers.

Wei Zhong roared angrily: "Masked monster, I think you are carried away by those false names!" ”

"Where do you get the confidence to face me?!"

Jiang Xiong was also extremely angry, and he rolled over from the ground, holding his weapon to confront Su Xia.

The fog was surging on the long street, and the killing intent was pervasive.

Su Xia's face did not change, and the long sword was in his hand, and the cold sword body reflected his indifferent gaze.

On the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street, warriors poked their heads out, armed with wooden bows and crossbows, and pulled strings and arrows.

"Put!"

In an instant, the bowstring shook, the air exploded, and countless arrows rained down on Su Xia, as if they wanted to shoot him into a hedgehog.

Su Xia flew into the sky and directly avoided this round of attacks.

Wei Zhong in the back suddenly stretched out his lean palm, pointed his five fingers at Su Xia and shook it, and said angrily: "Give me down!" ”

Psionic talent, gravitational cage!

Su Xia only felt that the gravitational force below suddenly increased, pulling him down.

The other party obviously used all his strength, his face turned red, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and his five fingers were twisted like chicken feet.

But he smiled, stabilized his figure, and asked, "That's it?" ”

……

In the Zero Point Tavern, Xue Lin sat on the red sofa, clutching his wine glass, anxious, and glanced at his phone from time to time.

On the other side, when the flare went up, he finally received a message from the two families.

The message was short, just five words.

[The show begins!] 】
