A loud knock on the door is always heard on time.

David was so disciplined every day.

Eager to become a legend, he has a perseverance that no one else has.

The door creaked when it was about to break.

Screaming like a beaten old man.

Qin Zheng opened his eyes.

He returned to the present world.

Being dragged into that eerie space didn't affect the quality of his sleep.

Qin Zheng pushed away the two women who were sticking to him like an octopus and exuding the smell of alcohol all over their bodies.

Qin Zheng, who sat up, found that his bed seemed to be a little short compared to the past.

Shaking his hangover head and taking a closer look, Qin Zheng realized what was going on!!

The bed fell apart.

Qin Zheng's mind was stunned for a moment.

My one-meter-eight bed fell apart like this??

If only I had known I had shaken it a little softly last night.

I'll have to buy a bed later.

Qin Zheng, who wanted to get up, inexplicably felt a little sore back.

The Eye-Eye Demon looks like he has no chance of revenge.

As David said, there is a high probability that he will die from those women.

Wash up.

Qin Zheng, as always, left the credit for the woman on the bed and walked out.

"Morning, David." Qin Zheng greeted.

"Don't be early, hurry up. We have to go find the black fat man today, get the rest of the final payment, and then go pick a good car. ”

David stuffed a breakfast into Qin Zheng's arms and dragged him to the elevator.

The dilapidated projection screen in the elevator was as boring as ever.

A well-bodied, well-dressed woman is introducing a new prosthetic leg from the Ching Group on the screen.

"The new neural coupling system, indulgent and silky control, only 100,000th of a picosecond to respond to brain commands, the new prosthetic leg of the Qing's Rescuer A800 model was born in response to the trend of the times. Six cores combined with 48 threads, equipped with the latest model processor, make it capable of omnipotence. The memory of the neural node has been increased by 20%+, which can preset voice commands, cut off neural transmission, and can also be controlled by voice, with multiple guarantees and trustworthy. The shell is made of iron-based alloy, which is lightweight and durable, and can be used in extreme environments such as 1,600 degrees Celsius and -100 degrees Celsius. The latest mechanical structure is used inside, which can effectively reduce the impact force. Such a superior mechanical prosthetic can be taken home with as little as 300,000 credits. Call now and order now and you'll get three free serviced. ”

When he heard the price, David shook his head.

"This thing is more profitable than crime."

"Don't think about that, the poor ghost can't be blessed." Qin Zheng said: "In the lower district, you don't need more than five hundred credit coins to buy a human life. The starting price is 300,000 credits, and the killer has to do it to make it up, and then get rid of the part that the middleman wants, and the knife is estimated to be smoking. This gap between the rich and the poor is really awesome. ”

The situation in St. Ann's District is a little better, at least the cost of human life is a little more expensive, it must be 1,000 to 1,005.

Don't think it's ridiculous.

The employment rate in St. Ann's is outrageously low, and even if you can be employed, the salary is very low, and 3,000 is a high salary.

Generally, it starts with more than 1,000 people, there is no welfare guarantee, and it is PUA by the boss every day, overtime is the norm, and if you dare to ask for overtime pay, you have to get out.

A bunch of poor bastards with no moral bottom line, a few thousand yuan is enough to make them sell their lives.

The high-end mechanical prosthetic limbs that start with 300,000 credits are not something that they poor ghosts can fantasize.

The elevator opens, it is the first floor, and you will be on the street two steps away.

It may be the reason why there are too many tall buildings.

The sun is blocked from the streets.

It's a little bleak and gloomy.

The neon signs of the shops are also lit up during the day, and they are a little hazy due to the smog.

Giant advertisements with 3D projections can be seen everywhere, and hovercars and hoverbikes can be seen everywhere, driving at different altitudes.

Heavy footsteps came.

A six-meter-tall bipedal mech armed with a revolving cannon walked through the ground street.

The position of the mech's arm is spray-painted with a conspicuous flag.

At the very center is the flag of the public government of Liberty City, surrounded by the flags of several group companies.

Armed men dressed in police uniforms, armed with fully automatic rifles, equipped with advanced protective armor, vibrating knives, and projectile shields, stood on the stepped platforms on either side of the mech.

They look full of superiority.

When looking at people, they do not hide the contempt in their eyes.

It was like looking at ants and bed bugs.

There is no respect and no mercy.

The reason they are here is simply that the public government and the major corporations want to extract the last value.

Until the value of St. Ann's is completely drained, the powerful and corporations do not want St. Ann's to descend into disorderly chaos.

No one likes these swaggering police officers.

But no one dared to make a move on these guys.

In addition to the bipedal mechs that provide fire support, assault and defense, there are several police heavy armor hovertrucks in the sky that follow.

In the event of a riot, they do not hesitate to open fire.

Wipe out all those who dare to defy authority.

Even if gangs are rampant in St. Ann's and everyone carries guns, they will still be crushed if they confront police officers who are armed to the teeth.

"It's arrogant." David couldn't help but sigh as he watched the patrol team walk away.

Qin Zheng glanced at it twice and then withdrew his gaze.

"Let's go."

That's what Liberty City looks like.

If anyone wants to see hell, there must be nothing wrong with letting him come here.

...........

The Tiger Claw Gang's nest is at the Pole Club four streets away from Qin Zheng and David's rented house.

It is said that there are strongholds of the Tigerclaw Gang in other areas as well.

Obviously, this gang is not as simple as it seems.

In St. Ann's District alone, there are tens of thousands of gangs.

The Tiger Claw Gang is involved in a wide range of businesses, including restaurants, casinos, bars, clubs, massage parlors and other formal establishments, as well as human and organ trafficking, money laundering, and the manufacture of psychotropic drugs.

They are rumored to have been cultivated by the elite and top corporations to control the underground forces in Liberty City and to supplement the intelligence network.

If you drive a hovering car, four streets, that is, less than ten minutes.

Qin Zheng and David soon arrived at the bottom of the mansion.

The Pole Club is closed during the day.

The whole building was quiet and shrouded in darkness.

There are only a few places where you can see things with the lights on.

Qin Zheng and David took the elevator to the top floor under the leadership of several gang members.

Their middleman - the black fat man is there.

The Tigerclaw are passionate about genetic modification.

Each of the gang members was unusually tall, muscular, and resembling the Hulk.

Dressed in rudimentary armor.

Armed with a large gun or melee weapon.

Standing there gives a huge sense of oppression.

The building is heavily defended.

Most of the gang members were armed with weapons.

Some of the easily defended and hard-to-attack positions were also fortified and heavily weaponized.

As soon as he opened the elevator door, a terrible scream came from him.

A child, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen, was hung by the Tiger Claw Gang with his hands tied.

The fat black man, who looked like a giant bear, was wearing boxing gloves and beating the hapless child like a punching bag.

The fat black man cursed as he fought back.

"What you don't do well, you have to have unclean hands and feet!! Even if it's not clean, it doesn't matter if you dare to steal from the Tiger Claw Gang, you really don't know whether you are alive or dead. ”

The boy was beaten to the point where he was barely human.

The chest is sunken, and the ribs are broken I don't know how many are broken.

His face was covered in blood, and one of his eyes was bursting.

The remaining eyeball remained in the socket and continued to bleed out.

Obviously, the black fat man intended to beat him to death.

The law and order situation in St. Ann's District is not bad, and law enforcement officers will still come out to help collect the corpses and wash the floor.

Of course, it is limited to collecting corpses and washing the floor.

Other things, those law enforcement officers rarely pay attention to.

As long as there is no large-scale chaos in the St. Ann's district, nothing else will matter to the bigwigs in the upper districts.

Qin Zheng saw the beaten teenager.

My mind suddenly felt a little dazed.

Some fragmented images came to his mind.

The cheers and screams of the people echoed in his mind as those images appeared.

Massive starships, burning planets, billions of fanatical legions.

Palaces and buildings that are unimaginably majestic.

It's as if humanity has suddenly returned to its glory days.

Qin Zheng didn't understand the meaning of these prophecy pictures.

They are too fragmented and there is not enough information extraction.

The only thing that is certain is that this kid seems to be of some use to him.

The child raised his head at this time, and the only remaining eye met Qin Zheng's.

There seemed to be a glimmer of hope in his desperate eyes.

The gang members who led the way let Qin Zheng and David sit on the sofa, walked inside, and whispered a few words in the ear of the black fat man who practiced boxing.

The other party scolded and threw down the blood-stained gloves and walked in.

The height of the black fat man reached about two and a half meters, and he looked fat.

In fact, it is all muscles.

It's like a snake python wrapped around its body.

Standing there, it makes people feel that there is a strong, savage aura rushing towards the other party's body.

"Well done, killed so many people, rescued that fool." The black fat man lit a cigar, leaned on the sofa, and glanced at Qin Zheng and David: "You are a little useful, behave well in the future, my black fat man has a reputation in the Tao, and he never treats people badly." ”

The fat black man exhaled a puff of cigarette and beckoned his men to take out all the rest of the pay.

This kind of task is generally charged as a deposit.

The employer didn't really have much hope of rescuing his daughter, and the main reason for issuing the mission was to buy the lives of those cult members.

For this reason, only 40% of the deposit of 100,000 yuan was given, that is, 40,000.

The black fat man directly deducted his middle fee, which was 12,000, and gave David 28,000.

Who would have thought that Qin Zheng and David would be so powerful.

directly helped the employer to rescue his daughter.

As agreed, the remuneration was also doubled.

200,000 yuan after deducting the middleman's fees, and the two can get another 112,000 credits.

The black fat man was also refreshing, and he didn't embarrass the two of them for this money.

He is in the middleman business, and he is responsible for matchmaking and pumping water from it.

Low risk, high return.

If the task is not successful, at most the mercenary's money will be refunded, and the intermediate fee will not be refunded.

Therefore, the good reputation of the middleman is a golden signboard.

With this golden signboard, it's okay to sit and collect money.

For the sake of so much money, do bad for your reputation.

That would be too short-sighted.

"You've got all your money in there." A member of the Tiger Claw Gang hands David a box of currency.

Credit is the common currency of the Free City.

Endorsed and issued by several large groups and public governments.

Creditcoins are either physical or bearer data storage chips.

Connected electronic money does not exist in this day and age.

In its glory days, human civilization suffered an AI rebellion.

Most of the network has been invaded, destroyed, and polluted by AI.

Humans have been forced to build a black wall to block the virus created by AI.

But the black wall cannot eradicate the many electronic viruses in cyberspace.

Most of the network is deprecated.

Some computing centers that were confirmed to be unrecoverable were simply blown up or abandoned.

The network cables that connect the entire planet have also been breached.

Subnets are used by cities and even regions.

Naturally, currencies do not use the network to be transacted.

After all, if there is even the slightest mistake, it will all be scrapped.

Coupled with the chaotic situation in various districts, online currency simply cannot gain the faith of those gangs and those who are at the bottom of the gang.

Even the materials of credit coins are mixed with some important scarce elements to barely become a universal currency.

David checked it, and after confirming that the amount was correct, he just wanted to close the boxes.

Qin Zheng, who had not spoken, stretched out his hand to signal him not to close the box.

"What's wrong?" David asked, puzzled.

Qin Zheng ignored him, but looked at the black fat man.

"Buy someone, how much does that kid out there cost?"
