On the way to do property notarization, zero can see that the buildings of sin city are full of the feeling of military control. All the buildings are unified two-story bungalows in a rectangular structure. There are no unnecessary edges and corners, everything is simple and clear. Roadways and highways crisscross in a row, dividing the whole city into squares with unified specifications.
There is no green, no square, no street park and any other leisure facilities. Here, I can only feel a repressive atmosphere.
Only to the north of the city, where a small area is marked as a free zone. After the lifting of the night restrictions, the residents of the city can enjoy their own entertainment in the free zone, only a little, not killing people.
The only high-rise buildings are several watchtowers around the city, which are concrete structures and stand on the edge of the city. The tower is 30 meters high and covered with dark holes, which are the shooting windows when necessary. There are soldiers on the tower for many years, and you can see every corner of the city from above. After all, the city is full of low buildings, which can't block the soldiers' eyes.
What's more, there is a monitoring system in every street, which is located in the monitoring room of the city defense army. The soldiers inside can watch what's happening in every corner of the city 24 hours a day.
From time to time, two or three cars were passing by, full armed soldiers on them. When they arrive at the predetermined location, they will get out of the car and knock on the door of the household door by door for random inspection. As soon as any illegal residents are found, they will be immediately seized and sent to the big prison.
Zero passing, just to see a fat man to a few soldiers pulled out. He fought and cursed. A soldier stabbed his thick back with an electric shock device, and the man immediately frothed and fainted. From the loose hands, a syringe rolled down, as if it was caught at home when preparing to inject drugs.
Things like this happen in the city.
After all, this is a city of crime, a city where criminals live. You can't expect these lawless guys to really abide by the law.
Zero calls up a map stored in the master's brain, which is based on the information of yafidi, plus the record he made after making a silent survey on the island before he arrived at the city of sin. The city of sin is closely connected with the surface base of Thebes prison. The entrance of Thebes prison is somewhere on the surface base. The ground base has an army of about 3000 people, equipped with paladins and Griffins, artillery tanks and missile armored vehicles. The defense capability of the base itself is very excellent. Heavy artillery turrets are scattered and interspersed with anti-aircraft machine guns and other firepower points, which makes it dangerous to be bombed by heavy firepower when attacking the base.
Zero saw with his own eyes a team of paladins and Griffin Knights patrolling around the base on irregular routes. With the low altitude cruising ability of Griffin knights, the base is a plain landscape. If there is any change, it will be detected soon. Even zero can leave quietly under the eyes of the Griffin Knight only with the ability of space jumping. Other people have to hide from the reconnaissance system of the second generation mecha in this landscape, unless they are equipped with high-level perception domain ability.
Unfortunately, there are no such talents in the zero ability group.
The more so, the more fortunate zero is that he has mixed in as Rafael. If we can't attack rashly from the outside, we have to collapse from the inside and rescue hindrella. When driving through the southeast of the city, you can see from a distance that there is a high platform built in the sea area outside the city. There are several heavy artillery turrets on the left and right sides, and you don't know what they are for.
"It's a scaffold." The guard in charge of leading zero said, "it's a scaffold for executing some serious criminals. I've heard that a female pirate will be executed in two days. That should be a big man. Otherwise, we won't use the high standard treatment of scaffold everywhere."
The meaning of the guard's words is nothing more than that of those indecent criminals. If they want to be executed, they usually kill them secretly, and then throw their bodies into the sea like wild dogs. Therefore, the criminals who can walk on the scaffold are either powerful or high-level.
Zero looked deeply at the scaffold, then bowed his head and kept silent. He did not forget that there was a sense of killing at any time, which was not strong, but oppressive. It's like a beast trapped in a prison. Once it gets rid of its shackles, it will suddenly kill people. Let the guard can't help but move away a little, heart secretly pay attention to. After all, Rafael is also a pirate who kills people without blinking an eye. According to his information, many papal soldiers died under Rafael.
The guard looked at the bag at the foot of zero again, and there was a blazing light in his eyes. It's said that all the things in that bag are Lafayette's property. In terms of Lafayette's reputation, the things in that bag should be very valuable. Zero sense was too hot guard's eyes, slightly raised his head a line, looked at the guard. The latter is like being drenched with cold water and shivering immediately.
When I came to the notary office, several men were chatting with a female staff member. One of them, a man with red hair, pinches his hands on a woman's buttocks from time to time. The woman doesn't resist, on the contrary, she panders. When he saw these people, the guard walked quickly with his head down. Even if the soldiers are still like this, I'm afraid the red haired man or the power behind him is not simple.The city of sin is not necessarily the military has the final say.
Coming to window 4, the guard knocked on the window and yelled, "old man Gordon, where are you dead? Come out and notarize the property!"
After calling several times, an old man, wearing glasses and hobbling, came out from behind a door. He lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked out of the window and said, "another dead man, hey."
The guard could not help looking at the zero, and then whispered: "what nonsense? Be careful with your mouth. One day you will become a dead man."
"I don't care. Anyway, I've lived enough. It's good to have a rest early." The old man sat on a high chair and said, "come on, take out your property. Gordon will give you a fair price
Zero throws the bag heavily on the counter, and there is a dull sound immediately. This sound is dull, even that several men all stop all actions, look toward zero side. When Gordon unzipped the bag and emptied the contents, everyone except the old man, including the guard, took a breath.
Gold, jewelry, diamonds... Even zero is surprised. There are a lot of things in this bag, and they are all valuable. The most important is the square gold bricks. As for other gems and diamonds, in addition to their own value, plus other processing technologies, they are a lot of wealth. These things were prepared for him by Isabel, who said it was the property that Rafael donated to the brotherhood.
Some of them bear the mark of a nobleman. It was Rafael who robbed them. These things can explain the identity of zero more forcefully from the side, so Isabel put forward all of them.
The old man, Gordon, took a magnifying glass to identify, register and quote each piece of jewelry. It was as if these valuable things were like bricks and stones on the ground in his eyes. On the other hand, the guard in charge of leading zero was short of breath, and several men nearby were spitting.
When a woman with a little bit of beauty looks at zero, her eyes are as blazing as if she wants to melt it. Zero sees all this in the eye, silent does not speak.
It took Gordon a morning just to count the property brought by zero and turn it into a common credit point in sin city. Zero has been waiting quietly, without any impatience. Until Gordon said, "well, here's your credit card in town. Take it. It's also your ID card. You should take it with you at any time. Until you become a dead man. "
Zero nodded, took the credit card, then looked at the old man and said quietly, "I won't die, but I'm sure there will be a lot of people dying."
Gordon was stunned, then said with a smile: "interesting. Hello, boy. If you don't die in the evening, come to me at the vault bar in the free zone and tell them that you can find Gordon. Then I'll buy you a drink. "
"Of course, you can invite me. After all, you got 240000 credit points for those things. As long as you don't make trouble, these things can be used on the day when you die of old age. " Gordon deliberately raised the volume, then blinked to zero and said, "after all, the daily food delivery only needs 30 credit points."
Through this sentence, zero has a preliminary understanding of the economic system of sin city. At the same time, I also know that the old man is deliberately making trouble for himself. Sure enough, when he and the guard were about to leave, the men also came towards them.
The guard was a little nervous, but he was totally unconscious. Near the gate, zero or two people were stopped. Gao Deng in the back sat by the window with a cup of coffee and a good look on his face, while the woman looked nervously over there.
"Hey, brother. What's your name? " Among them, the red haired man stepped forward.
"Raphael." Zero replied coldly.
The redhead nodded and said, "Rafael, all right. Listen, my name is xueya. I'm not a regular in this city. Even the military has to give me some face. If you don't believe it, just ask the soldier next to you. "
He didn't look at the guard, but said coldly, "have you finished? Please get out of the way
Blood tooth laughed: "this guy is really funny. Hey, man, I think you're good. I want to absorb you. As long as you follow me, you can walk across the city. Well, I'm very generous. Just transfer your credit point to my name. "
Zero had expected this situation, and he suddenly laughed. Smile is his own, but when playing the role of Rafael, others look like a gloomy sneer. Then zero said, "now, I can give you two choices. One is to roll, the other is to let your men support you to roll. Which do you choose, dear Mr. blood tooth? "
Red hair man smile a stiff, suddenly color change way: "don't appreciate the guy."At the same time, one blow to zero's nose.
At this time, a red electricity flashed in the air. It is like a startling, and then came the voice of the sheath of the zero long knife.
The next moment, blood teeth stay. Then I saw a red line on my wrist, then the flesh and blood rolled on both sides, the wound deepened with irresistible force, and finally even the bone cracked.
In everyone's dumbfounded, blood teeth fist dislocation, slip, followed by blood in the wrist. Zero traverse, avoid the dirty blood coming at him, and slide in at the same time. The bloody yellow handle of the long knife hit xueya's belly and immediately made him foam.
This series of actions are as fast as lightning, but each action is clearly in the eyes of the public. Even without the slightest ability of Gordon can see clearly, let all life out of an indescribable strange feeling. Until zero said, "look, I didn't kill him. But if he died of blood loss, it's none of my business
A word awakens the person in the dream, a few people of blood tooth are busy rescuing and bandaging their elder brother. One of them said to zero, "you're dead. No, before you die, you're going to be beaten a few times by our big guys. "
Before he finished, the handle of the knife suddenly reached into his mouth. Zero patted the scabbard, and suddenly the handle of the knife was shocked, shattering the man's teeth, and then he took out the knife. Looking back, he smiles at Gordon and says, "you see, I'm not wrong, am I?"
Gordon giggled twice and didn't answer again.
"This is your house."
Half an hour later, the guard took zero to a two-story bungalow. He said: "listen, when it's day time, you have to stay at home. Every day's food is rationed in the morning, 30 credit points a day will be charged and deducted directly from your credit card. In the control time, the inspection will be carried out from time to time. For your own good, I advise you not to do anything against it at home. Take drugs, for example, or you'll be sent to prison like the guy you saw in the morning. "
Zero listened in silence.
When the guard was about to leave, he said, "Mr. Rafael, that bloody tooth is just a small character. The forces behind him are not what you can imagine. If I were you, I would not go to the free zone after the limited time tonight. Believe me, you don't want to go there. But you were so cool just now. "
Leave this sentence, the guard left. When the door closes, there is only one person left in the world.
I went all over the rooms on the upper and lower floors. Although the area is small, there are also living rooms, bedrooms and toilets. There is also a small balcony on the second floor, where you can see the street outside. But in the limited time of the day, you can't go in and out at will. Therefore, the two-story building is just a high-level prison.
Next to the living room on the first floor, there is a small kitchen with simple Kitchenware and a refrigerator. The food of the day has been delivered in the refrigerator. The food is very simple. Bread, water, and a piece of synthetic meat. This is the food of the day. It's only enough to eat, not delicious.
But it takes 30 Credit Points for such food, which shows that the consumption of sin city is not low at all.
In the daytime, criminals are extremely depressed, and in the evening, all kinds of entertainment are opened to attract money. The operation system of crime city is completely aimed at the psychological weakness of criminals. Zero silently took out bread and water from the refrigerator, and then ate it quietly. He's already here, and the distance to Cinderella is much shorter. The next step is to wait for the time limit to be lifted at night, and then go to the free zone to create conditions.
Originally, zero still found it difficult to create the conditions for entering the prison naturally, but after the conflict between blood teeth and notarization hall, if it goes well, he will be able to enter Thebes prison in the evening. Now, in fact, sin city is an open prison to some extent. The house is a prison, and the time when the restrictions are lifted is very similar to the time when the criminals are released. So there will be forces like blood teeth in sin city, just like some big men in prison.
It's just that sin city provides entertainment that no prison has.
After eating bread, zero came to the bedroom to rest. He closed his eyes, set the time to get up in his head, and fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, it was already sunset. At dusk, the red sky makes the whole city covered with a layer of flame like color. However, in the last month of this winter, what people feel is not the warmth, but the bone chilling.
After entering the spring, the winter snow melts, which will release a colder air. Although the radiative snow on the land has not yet melted, the ice floes near the island have begun to melt. Therefore, I walk out of the balcony and feel the cold wind blowing from the sea.
The day finally passed and the night arrived as scheduled.
The night of sin city is noisy.
When the restrictions were lifted, the streets roared with joy. The residents, who had been suppressed for a day, walked out of the house and yelled to the free zone. Zero was no exception. He left the house quietly and followed the crowd to the free zone.At the entrance of the free zone, the guards of sin city guard the entrance and exit. Every resident entering the free zone must be identified here before being allowed to enter. It is not unconditional to enter the free zone. If the credit point is lower than 100, it is not allowed to enter. Because in the free zone, the minimum consumption per night is no less than 100 points, which is an invisible boundary to define those who can't afford to pay.
You want to have a bully meal in the free zone? Don't even think about it!
There are ten passageways into the free zone, and each passageway is guarded for identification. At zero, he saw the soldier who led him in the morning. Seeing zero, the soldier shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "good evening, Mr. Rafael. I don't think it's a good idea for you to be here, but have a good night. "
When a soldier pulls a zero credit card with a card reader, a zero message appears on the electronic screen on the public side. Including his name, portrait and credit points.
Looking at the long string of numbers under the name of zero, there was a silence near the passage. Obviously, everyone was shocked by the huge wealth of zero. After all, in the city of sin, there are few people with credit points close to zero. And these people are all big people who even the military have to give some face.
In contrast, zero, who has just moved into the city of crime, has such a large amount of property, which is particularly dazzling.
