Deceitful Game

Chapter 234 You dare threaten me?

In addition, some garbage that is difficult to handle in Central was also thrown on the ground.

After all, the ground is already a nuclear wasteland, so a little more pollution won't make a difference.

Not to mention, there are "wastelands" outside the hive cities. Those lands, unprotected by sectors and more heavily polluted, are perfect places to dump garbage.

While they say they will provide some benefits, it's impossible for them to actually eat their fill.

Otherwise, if they had time to plot and resources to develop, Central would be in danger. Even if agents could go back in time and change everything, it's better to avoid trouble. Therefore, if people from Central outside the Executive Department kill someone from Nest City, it's still a crime and they will still be dealt with. Moreover, compared to hatred... jealousy accounts for a much larger proportion.

The standard of living in Central is far superior to that in the city center. The two giants in the Changsheng sector are even more "benevolent" compared to companies in other sectors. Their weekly working hours are less than seventy hours, overtime is paid, they have three days of annual leave, and the highest level of employee medical insurance. Surgical and medication costs up to twice their total salary are reimbursed, and tuition, housing, and prosthetic body purchases can be financed with low-interest loans. There's absolutely no need to worry about starving, freezing, or dying of illness while working.

The only problem is that you can't leave the job for life and can't retire.

But this is nothing to the people of Chaodu.

Many people in the city are desperate to obtain a household registration in Central.

Sometimes, Mingpo would entrust some local tyrants with tasks for him... The highest price he could offer was "a spot at the Central Welfare Home." Children under one year old could be transferred to the Central Welfare Home for unified care through some irregular procedures. But the Executive Department usually turned a blind eye to this, since their work wasn't exactly clean either.

Moreover, the more experienced Nest City inhabitants, upon spotting Mingpo's figure in the distance, were already terrified and fled in a panic. Because they might not have noticed something…

Mingbo was not wearing a hazmat suit or a gas mask.

This means that his cybernetics are far more advanced than they appear.

Although he looks very thin, he might be able to take down an entire street by himself.

Once such a person enters the hive, regardless of their mission, they will always have a "kill quota".

"Wrong, you..."

At that moment, a middle-aged drunk bumped into Mingpo.

He was about to curse when he felt something was wrong with the touch.

The hand that had silently slipped into Mingpo's pocket was tightly gripped by Mingpo's left hand.

Mingpo looked down at him: "You've got guts."

The drunkard couldn't pull his hand back no matter what he did, and his wine-red cheeks suddenly changed color.

Without hesitation, he pulled out an old-fashioned pistol and fired two shots at Mingpo's chest!

But after two shots were fired, Mingpo remained motionless.

His gaze turned cold, and he slapped him with his right hand.

With a sharp crack, his cervical spine was broken. His head lolled to the side, and he staggered backward before collapsing to the ground. But even though he was killed in the street, there were no screams like in movies or TV dramas, and no "crowds dispersed like the receding tide." People only let out a few deliberately suppressed gasps of surprise, and then continued to set up their stalls as if nothing had happened.

Mingpo narrowed her eyes slightly.

This is deep within Zone Ca12, a relatively safe location under normal circumstances. This area is likely controlled by the "Water Purification Gang." They control the largest water purification plant in Zones Ca1 through Ca16. Coincidentally, the damage wasn't too severe; it was repaired and still usable, and coincidentally, the gang had a few engineers... This is the original Water Purification Gang.

They have considerable control over the area. No one dares to offend the armed group that monopolizes the water resources, and no idiot should dare to fire a shot in the trading district.

unless……

Lin Ya's location reappeared in Ming Po's field of vision.

The fact that Tianwen could still locate her indicates that her mind was at least still alive.

She was within a kilometer of the location, which is why Mingpo parked her car nearby.

But Mingpo looked around and couldn't see any "lead houses" that could block signals. Only these civilians, so calm they were almost numb. Did Lin Ya no longer want to escape?

impossible.

She escaped here and then stopped escaping; it's as ridiculous as an escaped prisoner stopping at the gate.

Therefore, there is only one answer.

The organization she had joined... or rather, the one that had captured her, wanted to speak with Mingper here.

He knew Lin Ya couldn't escape, so he planned to sell her to Ming Po in exchange for some benefit. It's even possible that Lin Ya herself came up with this foolish idea… to trade with Ming Po and have him let her go?

So they "kidnapped" everyone here in some similar way to make it inconvenient for Mingpo to use heavy firepower.

That person must have just come to say hello to Mingpo.

Right now, there are probably quite a few people watching Mingpo from the surrounding houses.

"You've got some nerve."

Mingpo smiled and said the words for the second time.

He could indeed communicate with the other side, and he could indeed accept a trade. After all, Mingpo was going to trade with the people of Hive City anyway... but there was no need. The trade he initiated was his business; the other side forcing him to accept it was their business.

Mingpo simply didn't want to follow the path the other side had planned for her.

A flash of blue light appeared in his left eye, and he connected to his subordinate's contact information.

"Section Chief Ming! Is it my turn to go?"

A joyful, even excited voice rang out: "I'm ready!"

"Ke'er, bring heavy firepower to me, and be quick."

Mingpo stood calmly on the street and, without any hesitation, ordered, "Prepare for a annihilation battle."

"yes!"

This child idolizes Mingpo.

She graduated recently and has good grades. Although she lacks experience, she is already one of the few capable people Mingpo has on hand.

It seems that she was startled and stressed by Mingpo's actions.

"Please wait a moment."

A synthesized voice boomed from afar: "We have no intention of fighting you..."

Mingpo raised her hand.

A streak of dark green light flashed, and a single shot blew the robot's head off.

"Then why did he shoot?"

Mingpo scoffed, "Trying to test the waters, huh?"

If the person chasing after us is a junior staff member with little experience and authority, we should eliminate, force them to retreat, or trick them into leaving, buying time to reclaim Lin Ya's bargaining chips.

If the pursuer is a minor official, then hand Lin Ya over in exchange for benefits.

"That's incredibly bold."

A dangerous smile appeared on Mingpo's face: "You've tried to scheme against me, haven't you?"

He raised his hand, and a huge, black gun appeared in his hand without him even noticing.

It looks somewhat like a water gun, with an oval-shaped dark green liquid sac on top.

It seemed that they realized that Mingpo had made up his mind.

In an instant, many people carrying guns emerged from the surrounding houses.

Fortunately, Ai Shiping wasn't allowed to come along.

Such a thought flashed through Mingpo's mind.

The next moment, the world in Mingpo's eyes slowed down.

It wasn't just something that could accelerate thinking; it genuinely accelerated his time.

That is the technology derived from the "Paradox Engine".

The collar around his neck channeled a portion of the power of the Time Chip into Mingpo's body. Mingpo's time was accelerated threefold. Although this technology was dangerous, and overuse could easily turn him into a deceiver... Mingpo had never been afraid of such things.

Change is inevitable.

In an instant, Mingpo fired eighteen shots.

His movements were so blurry that they were impossible to see, and he shattered every window of the buildings on both sides at the same time!
