Global wasteland: I am as good as a god with a machine

After the Freedom War, although the warlords from all over the country all submitted to the coalition government, they were intrigues and hidden strength among themselves.

This country is truly governed by a coalition government, and there are not many areas where it can achieve effective results.

Domestic administrative forces, large and small, are clinging to their own turf, and their influence is not even as strong as some oligarchic groups.

Take the Jinma Group in Linjiang District as an example. Their local influence even exceeds that of the district government.

In this post-war Cold War period, both politicians and large capitalist companies are giving priority to grabbing profits for themselves. The separation between the developed upper class society and the dilapidated lower class space is particularly serious.

Among the thirteen districts of Kyoto, except for the central five districts, which have a complete public government service system, the other districts are currently controlled by capital and are used as pawns in the tug of war with the government.

Under the deliberate management of capital, even in the capital of a country like Kyoto, there have been many smoky and evil places. The Shogun Wai located in the suburbs was born in this environment.

There are three walled villages in Kyoto, and only the city wall surrounding the Shogun was not built to protect against outsiders, but was built passively.

This half-circle wall surrounding the village was built by the coalition government to prevent criminals from Jiangjun Village from entering the city and reduce the crime rate before the area was under official control.

This is evident from the fierceness of the folk customs here.

The wall is 20 meters high and extends to two areas semi-controlled by the coalition government on both sides.

At first, the villagers in the besieged villages often blew up the city walls, and the police exchanged fire with the besieged villagers many times. However, this has not happened again in recent years.

According to folk rumors, it is because the top police officials and the Wolf King Association have reached a private agreement not to interfere in the affairs of Jiangjunwei and leave the place to them for self-governance. The Wolf King Association will also take good care of the people in Jiangjunwei and not allow them to disrupt the public security of Gyeonggi.

.

Interestingly, after Shogun Wai was taken over by the Wolf King Society, the murder rate dropped from an astonishing 61.53 to 14.22, which is far lower than Kyoto's average of 29.68.

Wu Mian stood under the high wall, looking at the machine gun towers and a large number of probes on the wall, and frowned and thought for a moment: "If I remember correctly, Kyoto is not allowed to install such defensive weapons without permission.

Right?"

"I remember correctly, but the laws of the coalition government are only useful in their own control areas, and are just a piece of waste paper outside."

Nan Ci opened his backpack and handed a blanket to Wu Mian: "This is a thermal imaging blanket, which can avoid those intelligent recognition probes."

Wu Mian took the blanket and put it on his body: "You just said that there is no rule of law in this walled village, which means that no matter what happens to us inside, no one can save us, right?"

"Yes, if the commotion gets louder, we may be surrounded and suppressed, so we must remain cautious."

As Nan Ci spoke, he loaded the rope gun, aimed at the wall and pulled the trigger: "They already have a location where they will hold the hostages. Our mission is to sneak in secretly and keep a low profile."

Wu Mian let Nan Ci hold his waist and was dragged to a higher place by the rope gun: "Since you can even touch the location of the hostages, why don't you let the people lurking in the surrounding villages do it?"

Nan Ci climbed up the wall and walked between the machine gun towers under the cover of the thermal imaging blanket: "We have no comrades in the city. The person who conveyed the news was only an informant and a natural person. He was not an opponent of the Wolf King Society."

"Ordinary people?" Wu Mian was a little surprised: "I thought that ordinary people and synthetics would always be incompatible, but I ignored that there are righteous people among ordinary people. I am being narrow-minded."

Nan Ci shrugged: "I don't know if he is just, but when we get information from him, it costs 20,000 yuan each time, which is a huge expense."

Wu Mian: "..."

Nan Ci walked to the other side of the city wall and whispered: "The general surrounds a place like this. There is no distinction between good and evil, and there is no morality. Everyone is a slave to interests."

Wu Mian stood at a high place and had a panoramic view of the surrounding village.

The wall under your feet not only separates two areas, but also acts like a dividing line between two worlds.

Behind him is a bustling city, with suspended cars passing by in the sky from time to time, and colorful holographic projection advertisements on the rooftops of buildings in the distance.

On the other side, Jiangjunwei is dilapidated and poor, with low shanties and old stacked buildings everywhere, like a ruin excavated from the ground.

Shogun Wai is known as the lawless place in Kyoto. In addition to the Wolf King Guild that governs this place, there are also a large number of evil forces stationed there. It can be said that there is a mixed bag of good and bad, and there are three religions and nine streams.

When some members of the community are evading pursuit, this is the first choice location, because this is a place where no one has any control, and even the police will not easily set foot there, let alone control it.

In the eyes of outsiders, this place represents evil, filth, and filth.

Gangs, drug addicts, hackers, killers, prostitutes, ghost markets, gambling stalls, black workshops, underground factories...

As long as you can think of illegal businesses, you can find them all here, and they are blatant and no one cares about them.

There is no planning in Jiangjunwei, not even regular streets. There are only dark corridors filled with garbage. Under these arched corridors, there are liquids mixed with feces flowing, and there is a disgusting smell in the air.

Fishy smell.

As far as the eye can see, there are buildings that are crowded together like a honeycomb and heavily rusted. People with trypophobia will definitely feel their scalp numb after looking at them.

The buildings here are very densely built, with small alleys everywhere, and the sun is not visible in many places, making it dark and dark all day long.

Wu Mian even wondered whether these old buildings would collapse if there were not so many buildings crowded together.

In this dilapidated place, the passers-by looked numb, but some gang members would ride motorcycles and swagger through the city with strange roars, causing pedestrians to dodge, and they were extremely arrogant.

Nan Ci used his electronic eyes to see the marks left by the informant with special materials along the way, and soon passed through the passage between stacked buildings and came to a shantytown.

This is the abandoned area of ​​​​Jiangjunwei. Everything you see is iron shacks, broken bricks, and mud roads. It seems that a strong wind can turn this low shanty town into ruins.

Everyone soon walked into a dark alley. The shacks here were even simpler, just squatters built with wood, rags, and plastic bags.

A girl with a childish face saw Wu Mian and others approaching, pinched the corners of her clothes with her hands, and said in a low voice like a mosquito to the strangers in cloaks in front of her: "Come and have fun, it's very cheap."

Nan Ci took a look at the girl in front of him, took out a gold nugget the size of a soybean in his pocket and handed it over: "Do you know where Mourning Street is?"

Jiangjunwei is a place of chaos, and many criminals do not use digital currencies in order to avoid government network supervision.

When the girl saw the golden beans handed over by Nan Ci, she knew that these people were someone she could not afford to offend. After thinking for a long time, she still did not dare to accept the golden beans from Nan Ci. Instead, she took the initiative to step aside and pointed in the direction behind her: "Come to

At the end, follow the alley between the two tenement buildings."
