Chapter 256 The world at the bottom
After finishing chatting with a group of people, Xu Luo rejected Zhang Xinya's wish to send him back, and walked out of the bar where the previous party was held by himself.
There is a place where these people often meet, and it is usually not open to the public.
Xu Luo walked alone on the street, and as night fell, there were already fewer pedestrians around.
As the wind blew the wine that he drank earlier, it was basically considered as good, and Xu Luo became much more energetic.
Walking slowly along the street, the quiet and deserted street at this time is quite different from the bustling scene during the day.
Most of the time, Xu Luo is used to loneliness, so when he is faced with a crowd of people, he feels very uncomfortable. It's not that he has social phobia, but he just feels uncomfortable and doesn't like that kind of atmosphere and environment. .
This is also the reason why he usually hides in the room when he has nothing to do, and he practices alone.
It's not that he is withdrawn, it's just that in his opinion, meaningless social interactions are unnecessary.
Of course, speaking of it, this is also related to what he experienced, coming to such a strange world alone, although there are actually parents in this body, but at this moment, the parents are far away in the broken heart star ring, Basically, he lives alone at ordinary times, and other people, besides parents, relatives and friends, develop their own gods in "World of Gods", and there are arms to communicate with.
But for Xu Luo, his arms are just his own tools, and he can only do things like exchanging feelings with Zerg, talking and chatting because he is mentally abnormal.
The Zerg only have simple wisdom, so for them, Xu Luo only needs to issue his own orders, and there is no need to pay too much attention to the others. As for the formation of troops, marching and fighting, it is enough to leave it to General Die. , he doesn't have to be distracted by these things at all.
Such a creature, what can he talk to them about? So in addition to doing his own things in normal times, he should put a lot of thought on cultivation.
Only when you become stronger, you have enough confidence to deal with any situation, it is better than when you were assassinated by others like before, you can only wait for others to rescue you.
One bird in hand is worse than ten birds in the forest!
In Xu Luo's heart, there is always a sense of vigilance urging him to move forward.
Even if he has mastered the ability to summon the Zerg at this time, and can summon the Zerg in time when facing danger, it is still not safe for him.
What if he didn't have enough energy in his body to summon the Zerg at that time? What if the opponent came too fast at that time, and he didn't have time to summon the Zerg at all?
Therefore, instead of pinning his hopes on others, even if the Zerg race is his own strength, he is more inclined to make himself stronger.
Only when he himself becomes strong, can he have enough confidence to deal with any enemy. As long as he is strong enough, no one can threaten him.
"Call you crazy! Call you crazy! Call me."
"Hey, speaking of it, I've been on this street for so many years, and this is the first time someone begged me to hit him."
"It would be good for a drunkard to be taught a little lesson, so be gentle and don't beat him to death."
While Xu Luo was walking quietly on the street, there was a sudden sound of frolicking and punching and kicking.
Xu Luo looked in the direction of the voice, but suddenly found that several people were beating one person.
Although there is a certain distance, he can smell the strong smell of alcohol coming from there. It is obviously a story between some idlers in society and an alcoholic.
Xu Luo was in a different place, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so after shaking his head, he was about to leave.
"Really! Really!"
But at this moment, he heard a murmur coming from the other side. Although the sound was very small, he could still hear it clearly with his hearing at this time.
The pace that was about to take a step, came to a halt.
He could tell that the voice belonged to Cai Xu.
Even at this moment, he is still chanting that name in his heart, obviously the position of that person in his heart is irreplaceable
When meeting such an infatuated person, especially at the front, no matter what the purpose is, the other party still reminded him, and it was reasonable. It is impossible for him to watch him being beaten like this.
There is no nonsense, Xu Luo merged with the darkness on the street, and seemed to have become an afterimage.
Just a breath or two to cross. A great distance came to those people.
With his silver-level strength at this time, and proficient in various fighting methods, it is really easy to deal with such small gangsters, and he can directly deal with these people in a few moments.
Looking at Cai Xu who was limp on the ground, Xu Luo frowned.
At first, he was not used to the strong smell of alcohol on the opponent.
Secondly, he didn't know what kind of purpose this person had for approaching him before.
"Really, you finally came to see me! Are you willing to take me away? If this is a dream, then let me sleep a little longer."
At this time, Cai Xu looked at Xu Luo obsessively, and couldn't help muttering to himself, with an unusually obsessed expression on his face.
Xu Luo didn't know whether he was hallucinating or thinking of himself as another person.
But a man staring at him like this, he is still very uncomfortable.
It's just that there were no speeding cars on the street at this time, so he had no choice but to carry Cai Xu to a nearby hotel, open a room for him, and let the service staff in the hotel help him clean, and then He just returned to his hotel.
It's just that he is more curious about Xu Zhen's woman at this time.
Can't help but want to check, who is this person?
I searched on the Internet, but this name is relatively common, and I don't know how many people with the same name and surname, so Xu Luo borrowed his special authority to search directly from the Foreign Affairs Office, and finally found a suitable name. people who ask for it themselves.
It was just that when he looked at the smiling face, he suddenly froze.
Because he didn't expect that the girl in the photo is five points similar to himself.
At the same time, he also understood that the identity of the girl in the photo is actually the eldest daughter of Shixian's third son, that is to say, she is actually Xu Chengzhi's own sister, his own cousin!
And after seeing this photo, I can understand why Cai Xu couldn't help but want to get close to him before, but out of some concerns, he didn't really get close. In the end, he still couldn't help He leaned over, but left in a hurry by himself at the last moment.
I can tell. He really has deep feelings for Xu Zhen. Even though Xu Zhen has passed away for several years, he is still immersed in the relationship between the two and cannot extricate himself.
But when he thought about the fact that someone had inadvertently mentioned about the calculations against the Xu family's children, it was not once or twice, and when he thought about what happened to Xu Mingfeng before, Xu Luo's face was extremely complicated, and he couldn't help but start to talk about it. The Foreign Affairs Office continues to search for the identities of those who have been killed.
Although they have the privilege of five-star seeds, they cannot know the specific identities of these people and what their positions are, but it is still possible to just know the names of these people who have died.
After seeing the names and the black and white photos, the more he looked at them, the heavier Xu Luo's heart became.
The rows of names and the photos one by one made him feel as if a heavy boulder had been pressed down in his heart, and his breathing seemed to become short and uncomfortable.
He never thought that so many members of the Xu family had died in the Foreign Affairs Office.
At this time, his mood became extremely heavy, and his mood became bad. There was a burst of anger in his heart, but he couldn't vent it.
Now he seems to be able to understand, before Xu Mingfeng asked himself what he wanted to do after graduation?
At that time, he didn't answer, because he didn't know what he should do then, maybe he just continued to practice quietly like this.
At that time, Xu Mingfeng murmured to himself, it’s fine to do whatever, even if it’s to become a highly anticipated star fighter, or to achieve nothing, to be an ordinary person and live in peace, it’s better to serve as a soldier and die by death!
Reminiscent of what happened to the children of the Xu family at this time, he seemed to be able to better understand how complicated the emotions in Xu Mingfeng's heart were when he said those words.
With other thoughts, he walked out of the hotel where he was staying.
A series of high-rise buildings stand in this steel jungle, with bright lights overhead, like a city that never sleeps, and between the buildings, there are streets running through it, and below the streets, there are actually countless People are living, but for those who live on the top, they never look down.
The speeding car shuttles between the tall buildings and never stops. On the bustling street during the day, there is only a lonely figure at this moment. Under the reflection of the street lights, a shadow is stretched longer and longer, as if this night is also extraordinarily noisy and quiet.
The noise is because the wind is blowing recklessly, and Xu Luo's heart is also at war with heaven and man, and the silence is because there is no one to accompany him in the long night, only a single shadow.
After wandering around aimlessly for an unknown amount of time, Xu Luo didn't continue to wander like this. Instead, he directly took an elevator down to the bottom.
Compared to the bright lights above, the people living at the bottom of the city are basically poor people. Even the street lights here are dim, and there are even some road sections that don’t even have street lights. As for monitoring? There is no use here.
Because as long as the federation monitors are installed here, they will be destroyed immediately. After repeated repetitions, those guards will no longer deal with related matters.
After all, the continuous installation of monitoring in the city is not a small expense for them who are short of funds. Since they are destroyed like this again and again, it is better to keep the status quo and save them a fortune. funding.
And after there is no surveillance, some people here no longer have any scruples, as if this place has become a breeding ground for crime.
And some of the gangs living here have also become the masters of this small area. They are all from poor backgrounds, but after they have a certain amount of power, they oppress other poor people even more.
And the reason why Xu Luo came here is actually very simple. He has always known that all the darkness of this city is hidden under the city, so he wants to let himself see the darkness here and tell himself that this world is not fair.
The main reason is that after he knew that so many members of the Xu family had died, he felt uneasy, but at this moment, he didn't seem to be able to do anything for them, even though he and these people had never met before, but they There is a blood bond between him and himself, and after knowing what happened to them, he is always restless in his heart.
Since I can't do anything for them, but I feel very upset at this time, then I should do something to divert my attention.
Coming to the lowest street, looking at the dirt on the street that no one cleaned, and the sour smell coming from every corner of the street, Xu Luo directly blocked his sense of taste, so as not to keep the smell from heading towards him invaded.
He doesn't have any purpose, and he doesn't understand this city at all, so he can only move forward without any direction. The so-called high-level people are bold, and he doesn't care much about the gang forces living here .
This was the case when he was an ordinary person, not to mention that at this moment, he has become a real practitioner, and the essence of life is completely different from these people.
While Xu Luo kept walking forward, he seemed to hear a cat meowing from a certain corner of the street, and after just listening, his expression became strange.
Although he is only a teenager at this time, he was an adult after all, and has already experienced many things. What he didn't expect was that amidst the meowing, there was a high-pitched scream followed by a muffled grunt.
Then came the conversation of a man and a woman, which was actually nothing more than a flesh and blood transaction.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that it was so wild that it was solved on the spot at the corner of the street, and the duration seemed a bit short!
But in this place, it seems that such things have long been commonplace.
In order to survive, people here steal, rob, kill, fight for territory, and sell their bodies, which is also a choice for survival.
Of course, for these people, there is actually a helpless choice that can allow them to live on, and even change their quality of life.
But who would want to choose that way, except in the real corner?
Although we have entered the interstellar era, the medical technology of human civilization has developed to the point where it was once unattainable. Many terminal illnesses have been completely solved by this time.
However, once the incurable diseases were solved, more terminal diseases emerged, some of which cannot be solved by today's medicine.
For example, some people will need to exchange their own organs because of certain diseases.
Although with today's technology, it is possible to produce bionic organs to replace the original organs, and there is not much difference between before and after the replacement.
But for those who have the conditions, of course they want real organs rather than bionic replacements.
As a result, an industrial chain has emerged.
This kind of situation is even more common in this low-level world. Many strangers plunged into this place and became the target of some scum here. After being killed by them, their organs were directly sold. It's a common thing for them to drop.
It was as if after Xu Luo entered here at this time, he could always be aware of the hidden sights staring at him from all directions. Those people hid in inconspicuous corners and watched him silently, as if they were looking for him. The opportunity to make a move.
Of course, selling organs privately is illegal after all. These people may not have the guts to do it. Those who dare to do so are basically a small number of criminals living here. able to get paid.
Excavating other people's organs to sell, after all, only a few people can do it, and for these poor people, there is actually another real solution, and that is to sell their own organs.
When you can't live on, selling part of yourself to maintain your own livelihood is actually the choice of many people on the interstellar at this time.
After they lost their stable jobs, they began to live a life full of hunger and food. The whole family depended on them for a living. After struggling for a long time, they could only choose to sell their organs. In exchange for a reward.
About that, it's just a bionic organ for myself, and it doesn't have much impact on them.
Although what the rich worry about is that their lifespan will be affected after they are replaced with bionic organs, for these poor people, it is still unknown whether they can live until the end of their lives. To be able to consider so many long-term plans, of course, it is necessary to live the immediate life well first.
Trafficking one's own organs is an extremely helpless choice after all. If it were possible, who would want to do it?
After passing the pair of wild mandarin ducks, Xu Luo continued to walk forward, and along this street, the further he went, the more he could see all kinds of darkness.
The more he saw, the colder his heart became.
The Federation actually provides some assistance to these people.
Logically speaking, even if they can't find a job and receive relief funds from the federal government, although their family's quality of life is not good, at least they can survive. There is no need to take risks and engage in various illegal activities.
But the fact is that although the federal policy is very clear and there are various guarantees for these people, it is not the case when it is actually implemented.
It seems that not all the relief funds issued by the federal government have gone to these poor people. In some links, the relief money has disappeared directly.
When Xu Luo went further, he heard a sound of fighting, it seemed that two gangs were fighting.
If there are gangs fighting, it is self-evident why, most of them are fighting for territory.
The expression on Xu Luo's face suddenly became excited, as if he thought of something funny.
At this time, the two gangs who were fighting were a little confused when they saw the young man rushing into the middle of them.
Xu Luoluo didn't intend to answer their doubts at all. After rushing in front of these people, he didn't hesitate and made a move directly.
"Who dares to come to our Tiger Gang to play wild?"
Seeing Xu Luo, he actually attacked them indiscriminately. One of the people in the fight thought it was the reinforcements invited by the other side. After being startled, he quickly gave orders to his subordinates.
"I abolished him, where did the little hairy kid, who didn't even grow up, dare to come to my territory to run wild, do you really think that our tiger gang has become a toothless big cat?"
At this time, the other party is actually still confused, because they know very well that there is no such person among their people, but since the other party is here to help them, it is of course a good thing. So he followed Xu Luo directly, and rushed towards him excitedly.
Especially when they saw that Xu Luo was extremely fierce, two or three people had already been beaten to the ground by him just by meeting each other. They felt that there was a new force here. Completely take down the Tiger Gang, and then this piece of territory will all belong to them.
But what they didn't expect was that when this group of people approached Xu Luo, Xu Luo beat the few people closest to him to the ground with a backhand.
For him, he came here just to relieve the anger in his heart. Anyway, what he did was not a good thing, and he didn't have any psychological burden to beat the two parties to the ground.
But it was Xu Luo's attack that directly confused the other party.
The members of the Tiger Gang on the other side were actually very confused. At first they thought it was reinforcements invited by the other side, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"Damn! Fuck him."
After the other party was beaten by Xu Luo, of course they would not let it go. He quickly directed his subordinates and rushed towards Xu Luo.
The members of the Tiger Gang also had a tacit understanding. They didn't fight with each other for the time being, but rushed towards Xu Luo. Both sides asked for ideas. First, get rid of this troublemaker. After that, they will decide the outcome. Decide the ownership of this street at this time.
But in the situation where these people are only holding sticks, even though Xu Luo is unarmed and looks very young, among these people, he seems to be like a tiger in a herd of sheep, with an unstoppable force. brave.
One person will fall down with one punch and one kick, and his fist is very powerful. Even if he has tried his best to restrain himself, it is basically difficult for these people to get up after punching down.
