Chapter 90： negotiation

In the following days, Su Lun's life became fulfilled.

After 　　 successfully integrated the eight-arm spider spear planting, he needed a lot of time to practice multi-tasking control of the puppet, as well as climbing displacement, fighting and fighting...

And, in order not to waste those two super-powerful exercise potions he bought with a lot of money, he also needs to spend several hours on physical training every day.

But fortunately, the life of the gang is very relaxed. Except for the patrol at 7 o'clock every night, you must participate in the street tour. Other times there are no emergencies, you can arrange freely.

And recently, Su Lun has also discovered that harvesting ordinary corpses can bring him less and less experience, so he simply didn't spend time in the casino in the first half of the night. Only when there is a professional death fight in the middle of the night, will I go to see the final few games.

Just like that, time flies quickly, and the stable and fulfilling days are just over a month.

...

On this day, Su Lun was tinkering with mechanical modifications in the basement.

This dilapidated basement has changed a lot from when he first moved in a month ago. During this period of time, Su Lun moved in like an ant, carrying in a large number of mechanical equipment and parts one after another, and even a small steam machine tool.

There are various mechanical tools hung on the surrounding walls, which he bought from various shops, as well as the good goods from the inner city that he bought from the black market.

He has transformed this into his own mechanical workshop.

At this moment, Su Lun is wearing greasy overalls, wearing goggles, and carrying two external "PT3 single-cylinder steam powered arms" in his hands, and he is joking about something.

The steam boiler provides super power for the robotic arm, allowing him to break the steel material into the shape he wants with his bare hands without using a machine tool.

He is making bullet belts and ammunition boxes for his gun [Blue Ghost].

This famous gun has a super high rate of fire. If it is only used as a pistol, its firepower advantage will not be able to play out at all.

But if it is a continuous fire, even if it is an extended magazine, it will light up in a few seconds.

So, he thought of the belt of heavy machine guns and the external super-capacity ammunition box. When you really need to suppress firepower, hang the ammunition box on your body and connect it with a belt, and the pistol will immediately become a sudden heavy machine gun.

While his hands are still busy, the eight spider arms behind him are not free.

Because of the robotic arm in hand, it is not convenient to take other things. If you are thirsty, a spider arm will bring a tea cup on the table a few meters away and feed yourself a sip of water.

The eight spider arms save him a lot of time and complete some simple but time-consuming tasks.

For example: press bullets on a chain.

There is no need for precise control. Several spider arms cooperate with each other, and the bullets in the box can be poured into the special presser with ease, and then the handle is pressed, accompanied by "click" and "click". "Crack" the rhythmic metal sound, and bullets will be neatly packed on the chain.

After a short while, the last two ammunition boxes scoured from the black market were all modified, and Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at his work and seemed satisfied, and muttered: "Finally, it's done. Ten ammunition boxes should be enough."

This ammunition box is not only suitable for Su Lun’s [Blue Ghost], but also another thing in this room: a mechanical power armor.

Su Lun took the ammunition box and walked to the mecha that was hoisted on the wall, tried the card slot, and it was just right.

This mecha is just a test piece put together by Su Lun, very rough, but basically shaped.

Su Lun named this iron knot "Iron Man Generation".

There is no extra thing on it, not even a shell.

The old mottled body skeleton is a crude product modified by the "wild hunter Ⅷ generation external mechanical skeleton"; the core is the "PT9 four-cylinder steam boiler" found in the second-hand market, which can provide power for this iron knot; both arms It is a simple and rude two-handed six-round musket, connected to the bullet belt and the bulletproof board. What kind of hydraulic transmission devices, high-pressure air valves, etc. are all disassembled parts from various old goods...

Although there is not much technical content, this thing is an attempt by Su Lun.

He tried to use steel wire to control this mecha as a puppet.

But because the technology is far from enough, the machinery is too cumbersome, and even the problem of running and falling is not solved.

The only use right now is to act as a semi-fixed turret, and Suren remotely controls it to fire, making some simple displacements and aiming.

can be regarded as a small step taken by his mechanical puppet master.

...

It's midnight, and Su Lun originally had several hours left in the studio to arrange freely.

He finished his mechanical manufacturing task today, thinking about practicing the production of "rune puppets".

But at this moment, the communicator suddenly heard Kaye's hurried flag waving: "Everyone, bring the guys, gather in the speed elephant tavern!"

Su Lun frowned when he heard it.

Communicator is a tool used by the Cross to gather people when they encounter a very major emergency. In weekdays, if you make a small noise and shout a few casually, you will be able to gather the 20th and 30th people on Green Street, without the need for a communicator.

He has been here for so long, and he used it once when the headquarters of the Cross Society was sneak attacked on the first day, but now he heard it again?

Listening to Kay’s tone, it seems that things are not too small.

"Could it be that the Steam Party guys are making trouble?"

Su Lun speculated that the handover of Green Street and the Steam Party, and conflicts often occur. If there is a big disturbance, 80% of them are also those guys.

He didn't delay and changed into his overalls.

Because the combat equipment is always in the storage ring, there is nothing to pack. Su Lun left the basement, and then the engine car sprinted all the way, arriving in front of the Elephant Tavern in less than two minutes.

...

When Sulun arrived, the two groups on the street outside the tavern had already faced off.

There were no ordinary drinkers on the street. Two gangs of two to three hundred people, armed with long guns and short cannons, were facing each other at the entrance of the tavern. The number of people continues to increase.

Su Lun took a look, and the Cross Society was not only the dozens of people on Green Street, but also the captains and gangs from other neighborhoods.

It seems that there is a big posture tonight.

The gang elimination rate is very high, and Su Lun is now an old man in Green Street.

Because of his close relationship with Kay, even though he was not officially appointed, the gang regarded him as a "deputy captain." Especially the newcomers, when they saw his locomotive coming, they waved to say hello.

A newcomer who is fairly familiar came over and greeted Su Lun: "Vice team, you are here..."

Su Lun didn’t see Kaye, watching the battle tonight is a bit exaggerated, and asked, “What’s the matter?”

The man whispered, "The people from the Steam Party suddenly gathered their hands to Green Street. The cadres are negotiating in the tavern..."

"Negotiating?"

Su Lun frowned as he listened.

He looked at the arrogant locomotive crowd of Steam Party not far away, and realized that something was amiss.

This kind of large-scale invasion is a direct war on weekdays.

Still sitting down and negotiating?

But seeing the posture in front of him, he also knew that he couldn't fight for the time being.

Since there are cadres negotiating, at least before there is no movement in the tavern, no matter how people outside are clamoring and provocative, they can't move their hands.

......

Su Lun probably figured out the reason for the gathering, and didn't intend to get in the crowd. He walked to the side of the road in the corner and looked for a place to squat near the alley.

In case of a real fight, the place where people gather is definitely the place where the grenades are the focus.

After squatting for a while, he watched Kay walk out of the tavern.

Kayi also saw Su Lun and motioned him to a remote corner, probably because he had something to say.

The two met in the corner of the side wall of the pub.

Su Lun had never seen such an ugly expression on Kaye's face before, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Kay motioned him to look inside the tavern.

Su Lun glanced through the window, and there were no alcoholics in the tavern. They were all brawny men in black leather jackets and guns.

Two cadres from the Cross Society came, "Red Devil" Goron and "Smoke Ghost" Sambu.

On the opposite side of the negotiating table, the scar-faced man from the Steam Party, Su Lun, also knew him. The second-rank cadre "Mad Dog" Hog Wiesnart was talented in the animalization department [C-003-Werewolf] and had a strong combat power. He is also the veteran powerhouse of the Steam Party.

At this time, Kay said: "There is a big situation in the inner city, we may be in trouble..."

Su Lun's face didn't move much when he listened to this tone.

If something goes wrong, something goes wrong. Anyway, things in the inner city will not affect them, who are at the bottom, helping the people eat and sleep...

Kay’s words were concise, and he added: “The news that I just got is that the top chaebol in the inner city, the Reyce family, has split and divided into seven. The industry on Green Street is now in the hands of Sanfang. Today Sanfang Martin Reyes, the eldest master of the country, is also here, and he is upstairs."

"The Reyes family?"

When Su Lun heard it, he felt that good things suddenly had something to do with him.

Isn’t this the family of the rich woman Reina?

Mrs. Fino, the sponsor of their Cross, and the Reyes family also have very close contacts...

It's only been a month, what happened?

Could it be that Lena went back and failed to control the overall situation and was split up by her uncles?

Kaye continued: "I don't know the specific situation. But I heard that it was the upper level of the black tower that gave the pressure, and the major families in the inner city did not want to see the Reys family dominate, so Reys was allowed to dominate. The owner of the family was forced to agree to split the consortium."

"..."

Hearing this familiar routine, Su Lun's mind immediately came to a sudden.

The "Reyes Consortium" almost monopolized the residential water and mining of Old Lingdon, a proper oligarch.

But the end of the "oligarch" is usually doomed.

Either be able to gain power and control the power.

can't get through the sky, and the final ending is all beatings.

This is nothing new in the previous life, just like the Russian seven oligarchs, how beautiful at the peak, but in the end it was also tempered...

Old Ling Dun is a private lord system. In theory, everything in the city is the private property of the lord "Raphael". As long as there is the highest authority in the Black Tower that overrides the inner city, no matter how big the "oligarchs" are, they have to lie on their stomachs.

But...

The split of the Reyes family, what does it have to do with them on Green Street?

Suren looked at the Steam Party as the other party in the negotiation, and seemed to have guessed something.

At this time, Kay finally expressed his worries: "The entertainment industry on Green Street is mostly the property of the Reyes family. Now that the Reyes family is split, most of the taverns and gambling stalls have fallen into the hands of Sanfang. And the Steam Party guys don’t know when they hooked up with the Martin elder. Now what they mean is that we want the Cross to withdraw from Green Street and let the Steam Party take over..."

When Su Lun heard it, he immediately understood.

...

Such a negotiation, Su Lun felt that 80% of the talks would collapse.

Sure enough, after a few words, the pub suddenly clashed on the table and quarreled.

The voice was loud and it spread to the street.

"Mad Dog" Hogg has a tough attitude, aggressive and humane: "Within three days, you will cross out of Green Street, otherwise..."

The gangs really depend on the funders for their food, but not exactly.

The site that was beaten down by resignation said to let it go, and their cross clubs were not so embarrassed.

"impossible!"

"Smoke Ghost" Sambu interrupted the conversation by slapped on the table.

He has a sullen face and speaks unhappily, but he speaks like nails: "Green Street has always been the site of our Cross, Hogg, you **** don't come to these vain. You steam party wants a site, if you have a kind, it will be clear. Come on with the gun!"

The gold master of the Cross Society is Mrs. Fino. As long as that person doesn't speak, it won't be easy for anyone to come.

As soon as this remark comes out, it also means that the geodesy negotiation has collapsed.

Just after falling down, it hurt the nerves of both people. Everyone in the tavern raised their guns and aimed at each other.

Suren and Kaye were not slow to react, and immediately drew their guns and aimed at the Steam Party members in the room.

This shot was like a chain reaction, and the two gangs outside the door also became nervous in an instant heard the sound of "click" and "click".

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, like a barrel of explosives that had been ignited, and if there was a slight movement, a fierce fire would erupt immediately.

For a while, the huge elephant tavern was silent.

No one dared to fire this first shot.

If you really want to fight now, it will definitely be the fuse for the two gangs to start a full-scale war!

...

Gang talks are more imposing, and it often happens when you raise the table, but it is less likely to fight at the negotiating table.

In this case, according to the process, a third party will come out to mediate, let the two parties calm down and sit down and negotiate again...

But I didn't think about it, but something unexpected happened.

At this time, a wine bottle suddenly fell from the sky and hit the negotiating table.

"Wow!" smashed to pieces, and the wine stains made everyone feel bad.

Everyone was stunned. This action did not put the two big gangs in their eyes at all, and properly provoked.

Everyone looked at the second floor of the tavern one after another, but they waited until they could see the people, but they swallowed their anger back one by one.

A young man in a silver suit leaned on the fence, looked down at the crowd, and said contemptuously: "Huh! A bunch of guys who don't know good or bad, give you some sweetness, do you really take yourself seriously?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Cross Society became very ugly.

This is naturally addressed to them.

Su Lun didn't know the young man, but looking at his luxurious fabric suit, he guessed it must be a big man from the inner city.

Obviously, this is today's protagonist, Martin Reyes, the three-bedroom young master of the Reyes family.
