"Synthetic energy blocks...seventeen blocks."
"Animal protein compressed biscuits, four...three pieces."
"Standard fresh vegetable ration, one serving."
"Standard fruit ration, one serving."
"Free medical access permit, one."
"Human Destiny Alliance bailout relief fund, four hundred and fifty yuan," behind the counter, Li Liang raised his head and asked, "Cash or transfer to ID?"
The old lady lying on the counter lowered her voice: "ID, YL45824."
Li Liang clicked on the light curtain in front of him a few times and said with a smile: "It has turned around."
"Thank you, thank you," the old lady put the things piled on the counter into the bag and walked out of the simple board room.
Li Liang looked at the system time and saw that it was almost noon.
In this era, neighborhood committees integrated a large number of grassroots management responsibilities. The work was already very complicated, and there was a shortage of manpower after the war. In addition, the joint meeting issued a number of statistical tasks, which must be completed before the end of the week. As a result, when Li Liang "reported" in the morning , only the director stayed alone in the empty room.
The director surnamed Liu was also an old acquaintance, and he was fairly well-informed. He knew that his appointment came directly from the joint meeting. He was very attentive and said lame compliments such as "I have long seen that you are extraordinary". In addition, he also singled out He took out a standard fruit ration and said it was given to old Messi to replenish his body.
Li Liang accepted the fruit and asked what he should do. The answer he received was, "The director is responsible for presiding over the work of the neighborhood committee during the meeting." In short, he just stayed idle.
Finally, under his "strong request", Director Liu reluctantly asked him to be responsible for distributing supplies.
So throughout the morning, he sat in a makeshift room at the entrance of the neighborhood committee and handed out things.
There were not many citizens who had yet to receive the supplies. After thinking about it, he decided to finish the work in one go, so he pressed the button at hand and said, "Next one."
After a moment, a person pushed the door open and was stunned for a moment.
Li Liang raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Hicken?"
"Li Liang?" Hiken was even more surprised, "Why are you here?"
Li Liang smiled: "New job."
The Hicken in front of him was the German guy who had been providing customers to the Messe Bionic Pet Hospital. He had returned from the spiritual world for the first time. In order to get rid of surveillance, he also deceived Hicken.
I didn’t expect the German guy to still be alive.
"Holy Scheisse," Hicken cursed a German curse and sat down in front of the counter. "It's great to see you alive. Where is old Messe? Is he still alive?"
"Well," Li Liang wondered, "Don't you live in Ise Business District? How come you come to Fifth Street to get supplies?"
"The world is in chaos, Kurwa, it's in chaos, my friend," Hiken said angrily. "The Machinery Union is cowardly and incompetent. Qinghetu has the final say in the current Ise business district. Those little eyes are occupying our territory..." At this point, Hiken realized that Li Liang was also Asian, waved his hand and said, "Sorry, you know I didn't scold you, you are my brother."
Li Liang remembered that Mizuno seemed to have mentioned something last night that Qinghetu contributed a lot in the street battles in Zhongjing and probably received special attention from the joint meeting after the war.
"Kurwa, it is said that Song has met a big shot, and some people saw him entering and leaving the joint meeting," Hicken shook his head dejectedly.
Song Dynasty?
Li Liang had some impression of this person. He had met him in the "Three Musketeers". He seemed to be Qinghetu's "white paper fan". He overshadowed the mountain master and was the de facto boss of Qinghetu.
Which big shot does Song know?
"Stop talking about this, Li Liang, your new job is very good," Hiken forced a smile, "My supplies are given to you and old Mesai, you just need to transfer the relief funds to me, XKZ231154."
Li Liang shook his head: "No, I have already received the supplies."
He counted out a quantity of supplies and piled them on the counter. He looked up while performing the transfer and asked, "No one wants cash this morning. Why?"
Hicken leaned on the counter and whispered: "Didn't you hear that cash will be invalid soon?"
Void?
Li Liang was confused: "Who did you listen to?"
How dare Li Ru do such a big thing as currency reform without his consent.
"Kurwa, my brother," Hiken looked around, then walked around behind the counter and said mysteriously, "The civil war in Dros, the invasion of goblins, the twin gods walking out of the temple, this is a major change that has never happened before. .”
Li Liang nodded: "Big changes, what next?"
"A few days ago, a group of miners stranded in the western mines were sent back. They said that large fortresses were being built on the coastline of the western docks, the sky over the wasteland was obscured by spaceships, and the roar of sandstorms was drowned out by the noise of engines..." Hicken Showing a look of fear, "Everyone said that there is a door to the God Realm in the middle of the sea. The Twin Gods and fairies come from the God Realm. Now Xi'an has come to the ground and is preparing to counterattack the God Realm."
Li Liang pursed his lips: "Go on."
He was not surprised that the news about the Spiritual Gate was leaked. After all, at the end of the war, the Zhongjing West Gate Tunnel temporarily served as a medical camp, with a mixed staff. However, this statement from the God Realm is somewhat unreasonable...
"Some people say that before the counterattack on God's Realm, Xi'an will cleanse the lower city." Hiken took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket. "In the past, we used banknotes to trade, and we didn't need to go through Xi'an's system to buy anything. Arms, etc. Hallucinogens, bionic organs, and especially arms. I heard that ghouls went on a killing spree in Mexico City yesterday..."
"Wait a minute, who is the ghoul?"
"The new director of the Bureau of Order, House," Hicken swallowed, "The ghouls hung the bodies of thousands of people from more than a dozen gangs in Mexico City in front of the Mexican Bureau of Order, targeting arms."
"Who made this up?"
"Activision Internet Mexico Online is full of speculation like this," Hicken shook his head. "First clean up the arms factory in Mexico City, then collect the banknotes, only allow biometric payments, and every transaction will be monitored."
Reasonable and convincing.
Li Liang finally understood how a decision could be misunderstood by the public and turn in a strange direction. The order given to House was given by him personally. It was obviously to advance the rescue as soon as possible, and with the small amount of arms in Xiacheng District, what was there to attack? .
Unfortunately, downtown folks like Hicken apparently don’t think so.
"In addition to arms, gangs also need to be liquidated, especially some ancient families, such as Zhongjing's Gambino, Dorta, etc. Many gangs are hoarding arms and secretly training new members," Hicken pulled out a rusty handful from his waist. "This kind of garbage used to only sell for 600, but now you can't even get 3,000 on the black market."
Li Liang frowned and said, "The gang wants to riot?"
"You can't wait to die," Hicken sighed.
"Why haven't I heard about it?"
"You, old Massey, and I all belong to the Machinery Union. The union is still hesitating now, kurwa, but sooner or later it will rebel." Hicken snorted, "Downtown is the territory of the people in the Lower City. Everyone we know They are all related to gangs and unions. This is our life. The goblins can’t change it, and neither can Xi’an.”
Click.
The door of the boardroom was pushed open.
Hicken glanced back and saw four strangers standing outside the door.
Li Liang casually clicked on the light screen a few times: "The relief money has been transferred, Hiken."
"Well," Hiken felt that he had made a mistake, and said nervously, "What I just said must be kept secret."
"No problem," Li Liang stood up and patted Hiken on the shoulder, leading him towards the door.
The people outside the door gave way.
Hiken did not dare to take a closer look at the appearance of these people, but out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently saw one of them, a tall man with a bald head, half of his face covered with hideous burn marks, and the other half of his face with a sinister expression. At first glance, he looked like someone crawling from hell. The devil came out.
"Who are you……"
A woman with short blue hair next to her smiled and said, "This is a ghoul."
Hiken's face turned pale for an instant.
"She's kidding," Li Liang blocked Hiken's view, "These are my neighbors."
"Then, I'm leaving first," Hiken gave Li Liang a hug, lowered his head and walked away quickly.
After watching Hiken disappear around the corner, Li Liang turned around and walked into the simple board room and sat down behind the counter.
House, Mizuno, and Cain followed in, and finally Li Ru closed the door.
House hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mizuno's look.
You can hear a needle drop in the board room.
Li Liang took out a vacuum-packed synthetic energy block from the boxes piled beside him and placed it on the table in front of him.
He once transcended Aqilu and looked at the world from the perspective of a god. Even the infinite creatures in the spiritual world were just a bunch of randomly fluctuating strings.
He experienced uptown life, free from material constraints, and uptowners sought happiness in the spiritual world.
At the same time, he also knew Xiacheng District.
The downtown area is like this block of synthetic energy, which is manufactured. Suppressed technology and fine institutional adjustments control the life of the downtown area at all times. The people in the downtown area are like captured sardines, and the gangs are like catfish, making the sardines speed up. Swim and stay active.
When he was a demigod holding a Dao sword and the twin gods of Xi'an, the population was just a number, a distant and vague chess piece. He could kill thousands of restless ones among them with a flick of his finger. No one is qualified to blame him for solving everything easily. Perhaps, some people will praise his decisiveness and "wisdom". Anyway, death has not come to him.
However, he did not want to be such a twin god. He wanted to stand among people and see clearly the vivid expressions on everyone's faces.
Cain came to the table, tore open the package of the synthetic energy block, took a bite, and said vaguely: "I grew up eating this stuff, um, vanilla flavor... this is downtown."
Li Liang crossed his hands and said slowly: "Before, I always thought that the war between us and the Time Observer, including the creation of this new timeline, was all my own business. Only last night did I realize that the reason why I was taken In this era, not only to change the ending of 'Li Liang', but also to change the ending of the world."
Li Ru hugged the notebook and showed a heartfelt smile.
Cain picked out a pack of synthetic energy blocks from the box and threw it to House: "You missed yesterday's party, so you can only eat this."
House expressionlessly tore open the package and swallowed the energy block whole.
Sudden.
The door was pushed open, and a skinny man leaned half in and asked, "Uh... the supplies are here..." Halfway through, he saw the ferocious-looking House, "Sorry to bother you," He shrank out suddenly.
"..."
