Room A-1541, Bolan Apartment, Zhongjing Xiacheng District, Yinshi Business District.
"The work is about to fail...Lily, take the children and leave. First go to Denali, and then transfer to the Fuji. Brother Sheng has already taken care of things over there..."
"No, we have to go together!"
"Me? Hoho, the one who is targeting me is Pluto of Spades. No one can escape Pluto's pursuit. Only if I die will you have a chance to live."
"I told you not to follow Phillip back then, you..."
"It's too late to say this now. Remember, live a good life on the Fuji and let Tommy go to school. After I save enough points, I can take you to the uptown area..."
"No, let's go together. Tommy can't live without his father. Ray, let's go together, okay?"
Ray wiped away the tears on his wife's face with gentle eyes: "I have been in gangs for so many years, and I am content to survive until now. I know Phillip's plan is stupid, but I can't leave my brother behind. This is my life." , but Tommy is different, he won’t join a gang, he can go to school, and he will go uptown with you to live a good life.”
"Ray..." Lily burst into tears.
Ray's eyes were red, he looked at the baby in his wife's arms, and said exhaustedly: "Let's go, if you don't go..."
boom!
Da da da da da——
A violent explosion came from the corridor, followed by a fierce exchange of fire.
"Let's go!"
Ray grabbed his wife and ran to the bedroom, opened the secret door hidden in the closet, pushed his wife and children in, and closed the door firmly.
"No-ray-"
Lily's wail was blocked by the thick secret door.
"Goodbye, Lily, goodbye, my little Tommy."
Ray lowered his head and murmured, then got up and walked back to the living room, stood behind the apartment door, and gently loaded the gun in his hand.
The gunshots in the corridor gradually subsided, and for a moment, only the sound of frightening footsteps remained.
Da, da, da, da...
Footsteps from far to near, arriving at the door.
squeak~
The ajar door was pushed open, and a man wearing a black windbreaker and a bowler hat walked in. The next moment, the muzzle of a gun was pressed against his temple.
Ray said in a low voice: "Pluto, please give me a way to survive."
The man known as Hades slowly turned his head, letting the gun point between his eyebrows. Under the lowered brim of his hat, there was a pair of lifeless, indifferent eyes.
At this time.
A shrill wail came from the corridor, accompanied by a baby's cry: "What are you doing! Let go of my son!"
Lily!
Ray grabbed Pluto's collar like crazy, pressed his gun against his temple, and roared at the top of his lungs: "Let them go -"
However.
A cold muzzle slowly stretched out and touched his chin.
Their eyes met, Pluto said calmly: "I'm ready to die, what about you?"
"Ah -" Ray roared with a ferocious face, his finger tightened and tightened on the trigger repeatedly. Finally, his arm dropped weakly, and he fell to his knees with a pop, tears streaming down his face.
"Please let them go, Pluto, it won't harm your family..."
"nononono~ Baby, it depends on what you do," a joking voice came, and another person staggered into the apartment and fell into the sofa, "It's okay for you to resist the twin gods. , and you dare to plan to assassinate the guy at the pet hospital, fuck, do you know that if that guy dies, we have to be buried with him."
"Levi," Ray trembled, "I can die. Please, let Lily and the child go. I escaped from Mexico City with you..."
"Tsk, stop talking nonsense," Levi lit a cigarette, "If you want them to live, simply tell me where Phillip is hiding, and where did your gun come from?"
Ray lowered his head, chest heaving, and said hoarsely after a long time: "He is in the basement of Building H7, Kaifa 3rd Road, Donggu District, with a gun... I only know that Philip has been secretly having contacts with a big shot at SoftBank Sales Corporation. "
"Very good, then..."
boom!
There was a gunshot, and Ray fell to the ground, with a bloody hole exploding in the back of his head.
Levi was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head: "Fuck you, Dou Ming, I haven't finished asking yet!"
"Oh, doctor!" Dou Ming shouted outside the door, then walked into the living room, picked up a rotten banana from the coffee table, put it into his mouth without peeling it, and chewed it.
"Tsk, are you damn sick?" Levi picked up a skull with hair on it from the ground, looked at it, and said casually, "By the way, there is news from Zhenjie Fort."
"Ah?" In an instant, the indifference in Dou Ming's eyes disappeared, replaced by surprise from the heart, "Really, what's the news?"
"That first-year student at the military academy will have a vacation at the beginning of next month."
Dou Ming couldn't hide his excitement and took Levi's arm: "What is the specific number?"
"What date? Hey, let me think about it, yes, I should drive to the gate of Zhenjie Fort, knock on the door and ask the first grade kid what date the holiday is. Maybe they will tell me that Tao Yiran yesterday afternoon Already married to an uptown mallard who’s good at blowjobs.”
"..."
Dou Ming scratched his head awkwardly.
"Clear your mind, fuck, do you know how many people I begged for your shit? That's the Legion, all shitty things are fucking secrets. With such stupid news, I almost went to Lawrence..."
Having said this, Levi turned his head and looked stunned.
I saw Dou Mingzheng muttering to himself with a silly smile on his face: "Of course she will come back... I have saved just enough points to go to Shangcheng District... Well, which Shangcheng District does she like to live in..."
"...Just pay your mother Pluto for this," Levi cursed and turned around and walked out of the apartment.
In the corridor, a member of the Spades came up to him: "Brother Livi, what should we do with this woman and child?"
"Go, go, take it to the garbage dump and bury it," Levi waved impatiently, walked a few steps, then stopped, turned around and asked, "By the way, how much does it cost to pay for a death row prisoner on the black market these days?"
"More than a hundred thousand."
"Fuck, only this little money?"
"There are not many dead ghosts who have been redeemed, and the investigation is strict. I heard that the Bureau of Order has just arrested a few 'advisors' from the Discipline Corps. They have replaced many people from the Rocky Mountain Death Row."
"Hmph, those two idiots, the Coen Brothers, dared to provoke House. If they hadn't been backed by Activision's powerful people, they would have been killed by the Bureau of Order."
"Uh, Brother Liwei, are you going to bury it or sell it?"
"Sell it. Didn't Carbin die just now? Send the money to his family," Levi said, walked through the corridor, walked into the elevator hall where corpses were strewn, and smiled at a group of heavily armed Spades members. :
“Next stop is Donggu District, let’s continue having fun.”
——————————
Donggu District.
A pontoon filled with workers left the newly built resettlement area, turned onto the main road, and headed towards the west gate of Tianmu. Soon it got onto the elevated road and merged into the dense traffic flow.
When passing an overpass, a holographic advertisement popped up, and the area around the pontoon instantly turned into a quiet valley, with giant trees and thousands of hanging vines. By the lake, some kind of huge "giraffe" lazily chewed its cud, with stripes on its body. Changing colors.
An infectious female voice said: "As you can see, if you join the Enino Development Company now, you can take your family to the beautiful world of Enino. On that fertile land that is in urgent need of development, you will have permanent possessions." The vast land and all the properties on the land, including all the Enino people within the property rights, are docile and intelligent, and are your good neighbors and excellent helpers. At the same time, the company is actively building a safe and warm residential area. and nine-year consistent schools, you can also choose a more leisurely lifestyle.”
As melodious music played, two "savages" in grass skirts stood side by side at the door of the tribal stone house, with "friendly" smiles on their faces. Next to them stood a human engineer with the same smile on his face.
The narrator says in an exciting tone: "El Nino, the land of your dreams."
"Hey, it looks good." In the last row of the pontoon, a dirty, dry old man stretched his neck and looked at the advertisement outside the porthole. "Old Kuai, hey, Lao Kuai, why do you think so? Don’t you even want to go?”
The person sitting next to him was also an old man, but his work clothes were cleanly washed, and his face was rosy and healthy. Hearing these words, he lowered his voice and said: "Pan Er, Pan Er, are you stupid? If it is really a good place, why bother?" Do you need to advertise?"
"That's right. Your son works in the Order Bureau. Does he have any inside information?" Pan Er looked away and asked curiously.
Lao Kuai glanced at the others and found that no one was paying attention, so he whispered: "Of course, my son's colleague's brother's classmate's brother-in-law is an engineer at the Putnam Xin'ao Branch. He participated in a selection meeting a few days ago. , they were shown a lot of data on plants and animals at the meeting. They were all alien. They didn’t say where they were, but who didn’t know that it was El Niño? Good guy, a tree hundreds of meters high, a man-eating beast. It’s as big as a mine truck, and it’s dangerous there.”
"Oh~"
"My son also said that the tasks above are heavy, and there are far from enough people to sign up voluntarily. The joint meeting now means to bring all the serious death row inmates in the seven cities to the top. There are many rich people now. We are going out to redeem people, okay? If you go, you will live with a bunch of death row prisoners."
"Oh~~~"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't dare tell others."
"I know, I know," Pan Er thought for a while and sighed heavily, "Oh, but stay here... My wife has had several bionic kidneys, but they are not working. They all said that the machine in Shangcheng District can cure her. Her illness is free of charge, but when can I save enough points to go uptown?"
"Didn't the moon mine recruit people last month? If you go, you will be given quotas for your family."
"Don't mention it. One is that my age doesn't match, and the other is that my wife doesn't want to go to the moon. You didn't read the contract for going to the moon. Once you sign it, it lasts for thirty years. It is said that in order to keep it confidential, you can't contact the outside world during this period. If I go, my wife You’ll never see me again in this life.”
Lao Kuai smiled and said: "You are such a bad old man, she is quite rare."
"Hey, please don't laugh at me," Pan Er shook his head, "It's better for you. Your son makes more money, and your daughter-in-law is very successful. She gave birth to three children. Each child will be given 100 points. In the future, when he goes to school, each child will receive 100 points. I can give you three hundred points. After all, you will go to Shangcheng District in five or six years, right?"
"What the hell, what are you planning on doing?" Lao Kuai couldn't laugh or cry. "Going to Shangcheng District to earn 10,000 points will probably be enough for me in this life. However, my son is fine. The Bureau of Order has just issued a policy that every year If you add fifty points to the first-level agent, it will increase to one hundred and fifty points for the second-level agent.”
"Tsk tsk, fifty cents. If you buy these fifty cents with money, it will cost tens of thousands."
"No more... I don't know anymore," Lao Kuai patted his old friend on the shoulder, "Let's work hard. I heard that we will get a lot of subsidies for planting trees in No. 46 this time."
"That's all we can do. Earn slowly. I used to think that money was useless. I could still get relief from the joint meeting. Now... you don't know. There is a holographic advertisement in front of my house. It is broadcast in the city every day. It's really good... You said, what the Twin Gods do, such as distributing supplies, letting children go to school, lowering prices, etc., shows that he is a kind-hearted old man, why do you still let us earn money in exchange for points, and then talk about this kind of thing? Trees and mining, can’t robots do it?”
"I don't know... maybe, Shangcheng District can't accommodate so many people," Lao Kuai hesitated.
At this time.
Another worker sitting in the row in front turned his head and leaned on the back of his chair and said, "I know this. My daughter came back from school and told me that they asked the teacher this question. The teacher said that social system change is a gradual process. The process, the point system is only temporary, and the living standard in Xiacheng District will get better and better, so, Pan Er, don’t worry, maybe in a few years, your wife’s disease will be cured in Xiacheng District.”
"Really," Pan Er grinned, "What else did your daughter say?"
The surrounding workers gathered around and started discussing.
after an hour.
The pontoon sailed out of the west gate of the sky.
The moment the clear blue sky appeared overhead, someone shouted: "Look, Shangcheng District!"
Everyone heard the sound and lay down on the portholes, only to see a huge white "wheel" hanging vaguely in the sky in the distance, with an occasional flash of faint green.
Lao Kuai murmured: "I really want to go up and have a look."
"Yes," Pan Er pressed his face against the cold glass. The hot air model blurred his vision, but he seemed to still be able to clearly see the distant paradise.
After a long time, he suddenly smiled.
"When our generation dies, future generations will be able to live there... which is also good."
