Cyberpunk underfire phobia sufferers

Zhong Wenyu didn't know exactly where the thing he was looking for was. He only knew that it was at this pier. Judging from the current situation, Zhong Wenyu might be the only living creature at this pier, and there wasn't even anyone to ask for directions.

This made Zhong Wenyu feel uncomfortable. In desperation, Zhong Wenyu could only wander around here like a headless fly.

After walking around for a long time, Zhong Wenyu found a man who seemed to be a security guard. The man was wearing an old security uniform and was wandering aimlessly at the pier.

Zhong Wenyu stared at the man's back for a while, and after confirming that it was a human being and not a humanoid robot, Zhong Wenyu walked over.

"Hello sir, do you know where the person in charge here is?"

The man heard the sound and then turned back to look at Zhong Wenyu. Only then did Zhong Wenyu see his face clearly. This was a skinny black old man who looked to be in his seventies. His face was full of wrinkles and his hair was messy.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Lao Tu looked at Zhong Wenyu with alert eyes.

Zhong Wenyu thought for a while and said, "I'm here to rent a warehouse, and I have a few ships coming over in a while and I need to use this pier. Please take me to see the leader here." After saying this, Zhong Wenyu continued. The old man took a few hundred dollars into his hands.

Zhong Wenyu did not directly express his thoughts, but lied.

The old man suddenly smiled strangely and said, "Follow me."

Zhong Wenyu frowned. Zhong Wenyu felt very uncomfortable with the old man's weird smile. Now he wanted to take out his pistol and shoot the old man away, but after thinking about it for a while, Zhong Wenyu gave up this idea. After all, he I don’t want to get into the sight of Yingjiang’s strong artificial intelligence too early.

And if you kill this old man, it will be difficult to find someone else. Also, this old man obviously knows where there are people, but the purpose of those people may not be pure, so you need to be careful.

After thinking about it secretly, Zhong Wenyu quietly opened the safety of the weapon in his arms, ready to kill at any time.

Zhong Wenyu is not a murderer, he is just extremely disgusted with someone making some twists and turns in front of him. He clearly knows something, but he wants to hide it from you and let you find it on your own, looking like a good show.

When Zhong Wenyu sees such a person, he has the urge to kill violently.

Although Zhong Wenyu almost failed to suppress his murderous intention, Zhong Wenyu still kept up with the old man's pace, but kept a certain distance from the old man. As long as the old man made any changes, Zhong Wenyu would have time to kill the old man immediately. Put it on.

But it was very peaceful along the way. The pier was as deserted and lifeless as it had just appeared. Zhong Wenyu didn't even see a mouse along the way.

Finally, the old man took Zhong Wenyu to a place where containers were stacked.

This is a very empty cargo collection area. There are countless containers stacked in the cargo collection area. The containers are piled three or four stories high one on top of the other. After a long period of exposure to wind and sun, these containers have all become rusty. Banban and Zhong Wenyu were worried that they would be structurally unstable and collapse due to corrosion at some point.

The old man was leading the way for Zhong Wenyu as if he was used to it. At the same time, he also explained to Zhong Wenyu; "This wharf used to be an industry called the Wild Boar Consortium, but that consortium collapsed three years ago. I originally thought there would be a government People came to reclaim this place, but three years later, the government seemed to have forgotten that the consortium still had this place, so the place just sat idle.”

"Wild Boar Consortium? What a hasty name..."

The old man nodded in agreement and said, "It's quite hasty.

By the way, this place is now occupied by the Hand, the largest footbath gang in New York. If you are looking for the person in charge here, he should be the boss of the Hand. "

Hearing the name of the Hand, Zhong Wenyu's expression was a little subtle, but the old man led the way and did not notice the change in Zhong Wenyu's expression.

Soon, the two entered the container group, and many traces of human activities gradually appeared in Zhong Wenyu's sight.

Many rusty container walls are covered with graffiti, and many containers are equipped with a lot of old iron pipes, which should be used to strengthen these containers to prevent them from collapsing.

After waiting and walking for a while, Zhong Wenyu saw a place similar to a civilian area.

This is a closed sky. The ceiling is made of containers of different sizes welded together. There are many luminous light strips attached to the ceiling, but I don’t know if these light strips are in disrepair for a long time or something. The light they emit Not bright.

This makes the whole space look a little dark.

The main buildings in this place are all Japanese-style cement houses. The distance between the houses is very small and can only be passed by one person. There is only one road leading inside that is wide enough to allow a car to pass.

The old man said a few words to the two men dressed as footbath warriors guarding the door, then walked up to Zhong Wenyu and said, "They will take you to see the person in charge here."

Zhong Wenyu nodded, but when he saw that the old man did not leave, he took out a few hundred dollars from his pocket and patted the old man on the shoulder.

One of the two gatekeepers bowed ninety degrees to Zhong Wenyu and said in Chinese with a strong accent: "Sir, please follow me."

Zhong Wenyu nodded, his attitude was neither cold nor indifferent.

That person was also very knowledgeable and remained silent all the way leading Zhong Wenyu.

Zhong Wenyu was also happy and leisurely, looking at this place like a peach blossom garden with interest, and he was a little confused in his heart, where did these people's supplies come from? The road is so narrow and never sees the sun all year round. It’s easy to have psychological problems, right? It seems like we have to be careful about the people living here.

Since Zhong Wenyu has been with Li Shu for two years, although the time with her is not long, he will subconsciously consider municipal matters.

Going deeper, Zhong Wenyu was surprised to find that there were actually women and children here, and the space in this place was beyond imagination. Zhong Wenyu had investigated this place and found that this place where containers are stacked is only about two square kilometers. However, after entering, there were many people leaving. It's been almost ten minutes and there's no point in getting to the end.

Zhong Wenyu kept this doubt in his mind and began to observe the expressions of the indigenous people here.

What Zhong Wenyu mainly observes is those women. It is not that Zhong Wenyu is lustful or anything. Women are emotional creatures. Generally speaking, they are much more fragile mentally than men. In this closed environment, women are affected It should be much bigger than a man.

As for why he didn't choose a child, because Zhong Wenyu didn't know how long this place had existed. Even if the old man said that this place was forgotten by the consortium and the government with a careless name three years ago, Zhong Wenyu didn't believe what the old man said, and these containers It is impossible for the rust on the container to become like this in three years, because the layer of paint painted on the container is a very corrosion-resistant paint, and it usually takes five years to cause this level of metal rust. Get started.

And for such a long time, it cannot be ruled out that these children grew up here.

Humans are a highly adaptable species. It is possible that these children are already familiar with the environment here and feel that this is what the world really looks like.

And these women are most likely from other places, so you can definitely find something from their faces.

But to Zhong Wenyu's surprise, there was nothing unnatural in the expressions of these women. Even when they were hanging clothes by themselves, their expressions were very normal, and their clothes were also very decent. They did not look like women who had been in a long-term environment. A person in a repressive environment.

Zhong Wenyu was very confused. Could it be that he had thought wrong? Forget it, it doesn't matter to you anyway, just mind your own business.

Withdrawing his gaze and divergent thinking, Zhong Wenyu followed the man dressed as a samurai to a place that passed through a red torii gate, and then came to a place similar to a shrine.

Two shrine maidens wearing white feathers and red skirts were sweeping the dust on the ground.

The warrior bowed ninety degrees to Zhong Wenyu and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, I will go and report."

Zhong Wenyu nodded slightly, but he was a little impatient in his heart. The foot basin man was really too troublesome. In modern society, things that can be solved with a phone call have to be done with so many etiquette things.

But this is other people's territory after all. Unless necessary, I will not provoke these people. What's more, I seem to have smashed one of their branches, so I need to give them some respect.

About five minutes later, the samurai came over with a miko. The miko was holding a tray and a piece of black clothing for work.

The samurai came over and said, "Sir, my mission is completed. I'm leaving." After saying that, he left without waiting for Zhong Wenyu's reaction.

"Sir, please come with us to bathe and change clothes." The witch holding a tray said respectfully to Zhong Wenyu; "Please go this way."

Zhong Wenyu nodded and followed the witch into the backyard of the shrine.

"Logically speaking, you don't know me, why are you so polite to us?" Zhong Wenyu had been holding this question in his mind along the way, and now he couldn't help but ask it.

Logically speaking, the Footpot Man is a typical type who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He has never shown his strength at all. At the same time, he asked Zhong Nan to delete all the information about him in Liberty City. There is no possibility of leakage at all. So why did they Are you so polite to me?

The witch said softly: "Sir, our president will help you answer your questions."

"President?" Zhong Wenyu frowned and said, "Your place looks like a shrine. Shouldn't your boss be a god or something like that?"

Zhong Wenyu captured something unusual from the words of this witch. This shrine may just be a place created by the leaders of the Hand to satisfy some of their own special hobbies, and these people dressed as witches should have hired people to pretend to be. This place is actually Still a gangster organization.

The witch did not answer Zhong Wenyu's question, but brought Zhong Wenyu to a room.

The witch handed the tray with clothes in her hand to Zhong Wenyu, and then said nothing.

Zhong Wenyu scratched his head, and then took the tray with one hand.

The miko's eyes were a little strange, but she didn't show it on her face. Then she said "I'm sorry," and left.

Zhong Wenyu was a little confused, but he still opened the door in front of him.

This is a bathroom. There is a pool like a hot spring pool in the center of the room. The pool is now filled with hot water and is emitting water vapor.

Zhong Wenyu looked around and found two beautiful short-haired girls kneeling there with their heads slightly lowered next to the door. Their clothes were very thin, and their snow-white skin was clearly visible under the clothes.

Seeing Zhong Wenyu looking at them first, they said in Japanese: "Welcome, our guest."

Seeing how they were dressed, Zhong Wenyu knew what these girls were for. If Zhong Wenyu didn't recommend having fun before, but since having Rem, Zhong Wenyu now doesn't feel anything when looking at other women.

Zhong Wenyu waved his hand and said, "I don't need your service, go out."

The two girls were stunned for a moment, then stood up, bowed to Zhong Wenyu, walked backwards and left the room facing Zhong Wenyu.

After the two girls closed the door, Zhong Wenyu began to take off his clothes.

In such cold weather, taking a hot bath is a great experience.

Although Zhong Wenyu didn't know what the other party was planning, Zhong Wenyu was not worried that they would use some tricks while he was taking a bath.

Zhong Nan had been following Zhong Wenyu all the way here. They couldn't see Zhong Nan just because Zhong Nan's body had an optical camouflage function.

Zhong Wenyu spent half an hour in the bath. He looked at his own clothes and the clothes on the tray. Zhong Wenyu thought about it and chose the clothes on the tray. Although he was not a good person, since Hand He would treat him politely Treat each other, so you have to give the other person some face, right?

Putting on the men's kimono, Zhong Wenyu felt a little uncomfortable. The women's kimono was okay and Zhong Wenyu could accept it, but the men's kimono was somewhat inconsistent with Zhong Wenyu's aesthetics. No matter how he looked at it, he felt ugly.

After putting on his clothes, Zhong Wenyu left the room, but Zhong Wenyu did not wear the big-toe socks and clogs like the kimono.

This thing is Zhong Wenyu's biggest dissatisfaction with the kimono. Not to mention the ugliness, it is not suitable for the body to perform maneuvers after wearing it.

Zhong Wenyu came to the door barefoot.

At this time, the witch and the two girls were still kneeling outside the door, but they were shivering because of the cold weather.

Zhong Wenyu said calmly, "Don't touch my clothes." Then he followed the witch and left.

After the witch led Zhong Wenyu around in the shrine, she led Zhong Wenyu to an all-wooden room.

There was a young man in the room, kneeling on the futon and writing something with a brush on the desk.

The witch left Zhong Wenyu after staying here, without any intention of explaining anything.

Seeing that his master was still busy, Zhong Wenyu was not in a hurry to disturb him, and just kept looking around in the room.

This room is very large, at least two hundred square meters, and it's all made of wood.

You know, in New York, the high-density wood that can be used to build a house is more than ten times more expensive than cement, which shows how much this house is worth.

There are many things placed in the room, including samurai swords, dakai (note; ancient Japanese samurai armor), and landscape paintings.

At this time, Zhong Wenyu came up to a samurai sword and looked at the weapon with interest.

There is something special about this tachi. The other tachi are placed in a weapon rack with one tachi and one wakizashi, but this tachi is kept alone.

Just as Zhong Wenyu was about to pick up the sword and take a closer look, he heard a voice saying, "It's really rude for the guest to do this."

The voice was clear and sweet, but it lacked a bit of emotion.

Zhong Wenyu looked back and saw a long-haired girl wearing a strapless witch costume standing behind him. The expression on her face was very calm. She looked at Zhong Wenyu as if she were looking at a piece of air.

The girl's words also shocked the young man who was sitting behind the desk writing. When he saw the girl, he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Mr. President."

Zhong Wenyu glanced at the girl in surprise. When he first came in, he thought the young man in front of the desk was the boss here, but he didn't expect it to be this little girl.

An accident was an accident, but Zhong Wenyu didn't show it on his face. He spread his hands and said, "I don't know much about the etiquette of you footbath people, and none of you told me not to touch this."

The girl said to the young man expressionlessly, "Get out."

The young man immediately stood up from the futon where he was kneeling, bowed to the girl, and then withdrew, closing the door at the same time.

"It is our shrine maiden's fault for not warning the guests in advance. I will discipline them well."

Zhong Wenyu smiled slightly and said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. I'm very curious about your method of disciplining servants. Why don't you let me see it now?"

A trace of anger flashed across the girl's calm face. Zhong Wenyu was obviously making excuses. He was just giving you a step up by saying this, so why did he just slap his nose on his face?

"The guest was joking. I have prepared the food. If the guest wants to talk, let's sit down and talk." The girl calmly took over the topic of Zhong Wenyu.

Zhong Wenyu didn't bother and agreed.

Soon, a miko wearing a red miko uniform came up carrying a variety of food.

After placing the food, he left without making any unnecessary noise.

Zhong Wenyu clicked his tongue twice and said, "It's so rigorous."

"Guest, thank you." The girl said softly, then pointed to the other half of the dining table and said, "Guest, please take a seat."

Zhong Wenyu looked at the futon-like seat and curled his lips, but he still got on it. However, unlike the girl who sat on her knees, Zhong Wenyu sat cross-legged on it.

joke! I, Zhong Wenyu, have only kneeled to three people in my life, and the first one is my mother! The second one is my dad! The third one is my wife! Who do you think you are? Like asking me to kneel down?

The girl frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Zhong Wenyu's performance just now had a label in her heart that she didn't understand etiquette. She was already prepared for Zhong Wenyu's actions now.

The girl took out two glasses, filled them with wine gracefully, then handed one of the glasses to Zhong Wenyu and said, "Guest, please use it."

Zhong Wenyu took the cup, smelled the wine with a faint aroma, and asked curiously, "What kind of wine is this? Is it sake?"

The girl shook her head and said, "Guest, this is chewing wine."

Zhong Wenyu asked doubtfully, "What is chewing wine? Why haven't I heard of this kind of wine?"

"literal meaning."

Zhong Wenyu glanced at the girl in surprise, sighed, put the wine glass back on the table, and said somewhat depressedly, "It seems you don't want to have a good chat with me."

"What do the guests mean? I don't understand."

Zhong Wenyu's patience was almost worn away. He stood up and said, "I won't beat around the bush. I'm here to find something called death. Do you know where it is?"

When the girl heard the name, her eyes did not change at all, and even her tone was the same, but her words sounded like a joke; "If a guest wants to die, this is not a good place for me."

After the girl finished speaking, several ninjas in black ninja uniforms appeared from nowhere, holding pistols in their hands, and surrounded Zhong Wenyu.

Zhong Wenyu spread his hands and said, "I mean, the thing I'm looking for is called death, I'm not looking for death.

Also, you better tell your people to put their guns away, I hate it when people threaten me. "

The girl waved her hand, and the ninjas retreated.

"Before I answer your question, I also want to ask a question. I wonder if the guest can answer me?"

"Say it."

"Guests have always been fearless since they came here. There are generally only two types of people who behave like you. The first type is confident and is not afraid of our Hand Club members at all. The second type is those who don't know the Hand Club at all. What a powerful person he is.

So, guest, what kind of person are you? "

It's really hard for you to say such threatening words in such cold words.

Zhong Wenyu complained in his heart, but said in his mouth: "My words...it should be the second one.

Okay, it's my turn, what is death? Where is death?

After answering these two questions, I turned around and left. "

The girl's eyes flashed and she said, "Does the guest just confirm that the thing called death is here? And even if I know, why should I give it to you?"

Zhong Wenyu smiled and said, "If you say that, you are out of touch, right? I remember that I still have business with the Shouhehui branch in Liberty City. We are all business partners, right?"

After hearing Zhong Wenyu's words, the girl's hand holding the wine glass suddenly exerted force, crushing the wine glass in her hand, but there were no scratches on her onion-white jade hands.
