Bionic Era

"One of my brothers died."

"Two of my brothers died."

Fatty Jiang was sitting in the lobby of the hotel, holding a telescope, looking through the old glass boat at the raging fire not far away, amazed.

"When they come next time, they must say that a group of my brothers died..."

Everyone in the team was speechless.

This was a bit too obvious. Except for the three tenants who had been warned last night, none of the people present knew what the fat man meant by the phrase 'one of my brothers died'.

The innkeeper felt that the fat man deserved a beating. Why did he have to use a telescope at such a short distance?

By the way, is the telescope prepared in advance?

The boss probably knew who did it.

Sure enough, this group of people were all ruthless people. Fortunately, he coaxed him faster. If it was true, the corpse might not be found now.

The people from the secret door also leaned against the door.

They watched with great interest the burning wreckage of the vehicle not far away.

With such a violent explosion, none of the people in the dozen or so temples survived.

A half of a guy's body was still hanging on the eaves a few meters away. He flew over when the explosion happened, and dripping blood splashed bloody flowers on the street.

"This brother is really temperamental. Always keep binoculars when you go out?"

The person at the secret door greeted at the door.

They don't have weird tattoos on their arms, but they are easy to recognize.

Everyone hangs a door-shaped pendant around their necks. The meaning of this pendant is relatively simple. They say it is to open the door to a new world and give the city a new look.

"What's your brother's name?" someone asked.

"Just call me Fatty Jiang."

"Brother Jiang... Is it convenient to add a contact method to tell me your real name? We have no malicious intentions."

"My real name is Fatty Jiang."

"Ah this..."

The people at the secret door can naturally see that the explosion just now was done by Fatty Jiang.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.

So they came forward and added a contact.

"In the past, at this time every few years, many people from other cities would come to the central city, but few of those people dared to fight against the local snake, the temple, and some of them didn't live long."

"Aren't you local snakes too?" Fatty Jiang asked.

"That's the way it is said, but there is still a little difference."

The man introduced himself and said his name was Qi Jun.

"When I was young, I always thought that there was only the central city and the city floating in the sky in this world. I felt that life seemed meaningless, and I couldn't see the direction of progress. I just watched the floating city every day, sunrise and sunset..."

"Later, I met a foreigner and had the courage to communicate with him for a long time before I realized that there was something wrong with my education, not only me, but also my parents..."

Qi Jun walked to the front desk and ordered a cup of coffee.

The boss immediately went to prepare coffee respectfully. As a native, the boss was afraid of the two forces of the temple and the secret door.

Not just bosses.

After Qi Jun came in, except for Xia Chuluo's team, the expressions of the other tenants were a little unnatural, just like when everyone in the temple was there.

"Everyone don't need to be so nervous. We are different from the temple. The secret doors are all good people. We never take the initiative to threaten locals or foreign tourists. Our goal is only one."

Qi Jun stretched out a finger and pointed to it.

The floating city that symbolizes eternity.

"Secret Door has very strict management constraints on each member. If anyone is found not to follow the rules, he will be dismissed immediately."

According to Qi Jun.

They are just a group of like-minded people who plan every day how to save the people of this city from ignorance.

Not long after, the boss handed over steaming coffee.

Qi Jun smiled and took out a banknote and put it on the front desk.

The boss quickly waved his hand and said no need, a cup of coffee is not worth much, but Qi Jun did not take the money away.

This secret door member who looks about thirty years old is quite kind.

He sat across from Fatty Jiang with a coffee.

"Brother Jiang, are you the boss of your team?"

Qi Jun could see that there was a team in the hotel lobby.

A single person rarely has the guts to fight against the city's local snakes.

But everyone's seats in this hall are relatively casual, so he can't tell who is the boss.

According to the general rules, the leader of the team should sit in the middle, surrounded by a few powerful people to protect him.

"No, I'm just here to travel with a group."

Fatty Jiang compared his eyes.

Qi Jun followed his gaze and looked over.

It was a little girl, thin and weak, with a silvery metallic luster on her exposed face and arms, she was a reformed person.

"What's the girl's name?"

"You talk too much."

Xia Chuluo didn't answer that question, but glanced at him lightly.

"Haha, I don't mean anything else, it's just that in the heavy rain last night, your people may just have saved ours, so I think we can cooperate." Qi Jun said with a smile.

He also knows that this is a public place, so it is inconvenient to say too much.

So he handed over a business card.

On the business card is the contact information and an address.

He thanked him and said with a smile that we would see each other again in the future, then left with his coffee.

The denomination of the note given to the boss just now is relatively large, including the money for the cup.

"I'll check."

Fatty Jiang picked up his business card and began to investigate the details of this organization.

June in Central City is also very hot, and it is now the end of June, with thick clouds hovering in the sky, it is better to describe it as muggy.

There is no air conditioning in the lobby, so the tenants in the lobby on the first floor retreated to their rooms.

They all came to this city with a purpose.

Most people have the same purpose, for that thing a week later.

The doctor and the mechanic also went back.

The middle-aged gunman went out with all his equipment, and he didn't know if he could come back.

Not long after, apart from the boss, there were only the team members left in the hotel lobby.

"The Qi army added my social account. He sent me a message just now, saying that they got the news early in the morning. The people in the temple had an operation against a leader of the secret door last night. The most critical sniper in that operation It might have been shot by our people." Fatty Jiang said.

According to Duan Tiannan.

That sniper is obviously very unprofessional, and this is actually worthy of the word 'key'.

"He told us to keep a low profile recently, and it's better to change our position. The people of the temple must have been eyeing us, and they are likely to take action against us, and the central city is now in a very tense period."

Every few years, Central City experiences a period of tension.

This time is not fixed.

Sometimes it's three years, sometimes it's five years.

The floating city will give news in advance.

"The Floating Void City will issue 100 quotas in the near future, so that ordinary people below will have the opportunity to see the world above. Even, if they perform well, some people can stay and become permanent residents of the Floating Void City." Fatty Jiang said .

"The floating city is not bad." Xia Chuluo nodded.

If this city floats forever and does not care about foreign affairs, then gradually, it will be forgotten by the people below.

And if you forget it for too long, the people below will lose their awe of the city, and they may try to find a way to see what is in the sky, so they will unite and find a way to bring down that city.

But now Floating Void City has given this quota.

Every few years, the longing in people's hearts will be aroused, and they will try their best to get that spot.

More and more people want to go up.

And the number of people who want to bring that city to the surface will gradually decrease.

"This is what politicians do. Lu Wen, you should study hard, anyway, you are going to be a member of parliament, so don't just fool around with Wei Bo'an all day long." Xia Chuluo said.

"Wei Bo'an's idea is to continuously increase my influence, so that every word of mine can be echoed by the majority of ordinary people."

"Rely on the power of social software? Public opinion governs the city?"

"That's probably what it means."

"That middle-aged man is really good. He is in his forties, and he can still keep up with the rhythm of young people today."

Xia Chuluo seldom made positive comments on someone.

Most of the time, the evaluation she gives can make people half-dead.

"How long will it take for the Floating Void City to release those quotas? How will they be distributed?" she asked.

"There is only one week left, and they will be distributed randomly. At that time, a drone will fly out from that city, carrying a hundred invitation letters. Whether you can get them or not depends on your own ability." Fatty Jiang said.

"It looks like bloodshed is inevitable."

Those one hundred invitations are sure to spark massive scrambles.

foreseeable.

A week later, bloodshed will be the norm.

This is a big city with a population of tens of millions, plus countless outsiders who have entered the city during this period.

The more people died, the more precious these invitations became, and the more those people yearned for the city in the sky.

"I really want to go and see it, but I definitely can't get in with my identity."

As Xia Zheng's daughter, Xia Chuluo's identity is too sensitive. No matter how she disguises herself, she has a high chance of being spotted.

And there is Luo Ruyan, an unstable factor, if Xia Chuluo went to Floating Void City, Luo Ruyan suddenly reminded Floating Void City, then she would be in danger.

Wanting to go to that city, she couldn't in the normal way.

"Lu Wen can go. You are a new face with a human identity. I will try my best to deal with those fourteen guys who are still alive within this week, and bring Luo Ruyan back again to prevent him from disturbing you. .”

"It's no use if I go, go shopping?"

"Too……"

Xia Chuluo hasn't figured out what to do in that city yet.

However, her progress did not stop, but accelerated.

It would be best for all relevant personnel who can resolve that incident within a week.

"The Floating Void City actually has a drawback. Locals and outsiders will compete for invitations. When outsiders enter this city, the locals who have been controlled by them will gradually understand the outside world."

After learning the truth, the local people may feel resentful and dissatisfied, angry that they have lived in lies since childhood.

That's why organizations like the secret door came into being.

"You guys are watching Luo Ruyan at any time, right?" She looked at Fatty Jiang.

"Watching all the time, they are now making a plan against you."

Fatty Jiang and the member who controlled the ant robot broadcast Luo Ruyan's plan live to everyone.

"Luo Ruyan said that he actually wants to retire and live a stable life, but if he doesn't get rid of you, he will have trouble sleeping and eating."

"This guy is really disgusting. Last night, he pretended to use his blood relationship to beg Miss Xia to let him go."

Xia Chuluo waved his hand helplessly.

"With such a relative at the booth, I can't help it."

As for Luo Ruyan's plan, they still focused on Fatty Jiang.

As long as Fatty Jiang can be killed, Xia Chuluo's team will become blind in a short time.

"Luo Ruyan concluded that when Miss Xia saw the information in the USB flash drive, the first person she would look for was the mercenary who hadn't retired yet, so he notified that person in advance and planned to make an ambush with him .” Fatty Jiang said.

"It's boring, I'm still waiting for him to contact more people."

The two times Luo Ruyan let Luo Ruyan go in early Xia were fishing.

Now it seems.

It really doesn't seem like there are any more fish to bite.

"This Luo Ruyan told the guy who hadn't retired yet that he risked his life to steal information from Ms. Xia, and found that Ms. Xia already knew the 21 people who targeted her parents. I'm ready, and I'm about to do it...but it's clear that he gave the information to Miss Xia himself."

So that person had no choice but to unite with Luo Ruyan due to his own safety.

Fatty Jiang sighed again and again.

He said that he had never seen such a brazen person like Luo Ruyan.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that Miss Xia would have such an uncle."

"My mother's family is not normal. Fortunately, my mother broke with them at that time and followed my father. I have never contacted them now..."

Xia Chuluo's personality is very independent, perhaps it was inherited from her mother.

Everyone in the team usually sees the shadow of her father in her body.

Indifferent, calm, and decisive, as if nothing could stop her.

"Let's go, it's time to find the first guy according to Luo Ruyan's plan."

...

The clouds hovering over Canterlot are getting lower and lower.

In a high-rise building in the fourth district.

Yang Rong took a sip of tea, took out a cloth, and slowly wiped the gun in his hand.

When resting on weekdays, he prefers to drink to relax his tense mind.

But not today.

An old friend told him that the man's daughter had come to Central City, and she already knew the people who participated in that event, and now she was preparing to liquidate them one by one.

"At the beginning, I said that the little girl should be dealt with together, but you still feel that she can't pose any threat."

He spoke lightly, but no reply came from the earphone.

Luo Ruyan's team was watching not far away.

There were many reasons why Xia Chuluo was not killed.

There are too many people who know about that task, and those who accept the task are all dignified.

Duan Tiannan once said that Lu Wen didn't understand people of his generation.

Secretly, they can have no principles, but on the bright side, some guys still have to face.

Back then, countless people were paying attention to the action against Xia Zheng.

In that case, many people would have no face to attack a six-year-old girl.

Luo Ruyan was a very important part of it. Many people secretly spurned him by attacking his sister and brother-in-law, so for the sake of his own reputation, he had to keep Xia Chuluo.

I don't know if he regrets it now.

"I heard that she became stupid later and had to rely on medicine to maintain a normal state."

Yang Rong put down the gun in his hand.

He also knows now that the so-called taking medicine is just a show of weakness.

That was Xia Chuluo ensuring her own safety.

"Did... she think of today's scene when she was six years old?"
