One Punch Hunter

After walking out of the station, a magnificent metropolis appeared in front of Bai Ye.

Hanhai City, one of the 23 central cities of mankind, has a permanent population of about 180 million.

Surrounding the city is a spherical particle barrier that protects the entire city. The particle barrier controlled by the intelligent brain can distinguish zombies and wild beasts. All distinguishable non-human creatures will be excluded from the particle barrier.

Of course, some powerful wild beasts can break through the particle barrier and enter the central city, but they are often intercepted and killed by the heroes of the Silver Watch on the periphery.

The central city is basically the only paradise for humans in the world. Its safety is built on the protection of the particle barrier, and the construction of the particle barrier requires energy. The larger it is, the more energy it consumes.

Nearly 200 million people are crowded in a super-large city, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Therefore, in the central area of ​​the city, the buildings are getting taller and taller, and buildings of about a kilometer are everywhere.

Because the more central the area, the safer it is, the more expensive the land is, and the more limited the use of land is.

As for the prices here, they have also been pushed to an incredible level.

The universal currency on Earth is now called Dawn Coin, which is a global universal currency issued uniformly after the formation of the world government. At the beginning of its issuance, its purchasing power is roughly equivalent to 10 US dollars.

Now, the housing prices in the central city are basically above 200,000 yuan/square meter. Even if renting, an ordinary one-bedroom apartment on the edge of the central city costs 9,000 yuan/month.

With such a price, it can be said that most ordinary people in the central city cannot afford it, and can only squeeze into low-rent housing with their families, barely having a place to live.

Low-rent housing only provides a basic living environment, and does not consider lighting, house type, convenience, etc.

However, low-rent housing is not the worst living environment.

As mentioned before, the particle barrier is a sphere, so people have gone to great lengths to dig underground. Taking the ground as the benchmark, the aboveground world and the underground world are almost in a mirror state. The entire underground city accommodates roughly half of the residents of the aboveground city.

Most of them are poor people, gangsters, robbers, thieves, mercenaries, etc., and there is no law and order at all.

In each district of the central city, there are underground passages that can lead directly to the underground, but around these passages, there are also many people with fierce eyes and unknown identities wandering around, and most ordinary residents in the ground city stay away from them.

"Stop, toll."

A sturdy man with a scar on his face stopped Bai Ye at the entrance of the underground passage.

Bai Ye smiled: "Toll?"

"100 yuan." The scarred sturdy man stretched out his hand to Bai Ye with a gloomy face.

Bai Ye seemed to have heard something very funny, and smiled: "Why don't you go and rob?"

The scarred man looked fierce: "Are you mentally ill? I'm robbing!"

The scarred man's left hand wanted to grab Bai Ye's collar directly.

The smile on Bai Ye's face disappeared instantly, and his right hand stretched out like lightning, grabbed the scarred man's wrist, and twisted it gently.

"Crack!"

A crisp bone cracking sound came from the strong man's hand. Bai Ye's seemingly light twist directly broke his entire left arm instantly!

"Ahhh...!!"

The strong man let out a pig-killing howl, fell to the ground like a dead dog, and kept rolling around holding his broken arm.

The few people behind the strong man all surrounded him, but when Bai Ye's eyes swept over, they all hesitated.

The guy in the lead wanted to step forward, but was gently pulled on the sleeve by a little brother behind him, and retreated again.

Bai Ye squatted down, looked at the scarred man rolling on the ground, and stretched out his right hand: "You said it yourself, 100 yuan."

The scarred man was almost crying. He fumbled in his arms with his right hand for a while, grabbed a handful of banknotes, and stuffed them all into Bai Ye's hand.

Bai Ye picked out the cleanest 100-yuan bill from the stack of banknotes, and then stuffed the rest of the money back into the man's pocket, and patted him on the shoulder: "Next time you fight, figure out who your opponent is."

Bai Ye stood up and looked at the people behind the man.

"Excuse me."

The people looked at each other, but still made a way and let Bai Ye pass.

Until Bai Ye disappeared in the depths of the underground passage, several people reacted and helped the scarred man on the ground up.

"Boss, do you really not know who he is?" said the gangster who pulled the leader's clothes just now.

"Who is he?"

The gangster looked deep into the underground passage and said with lingering fear: "He comes to purchase a batch of food almost every two weeks. Last time, Mo Laowu provoked him underground and his two legs were broken. He is still lying in the hospital!"

The gang leader was shocked: "Isn't Mo Laowu an awakener?!"

The gangster nodded and said: "So, can we afford to provoke such a person?"

The gang leader also breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't take action..."

The seventh block is the largest block in the entire underground city.

Weapons, genetic drugs, slaves and even young wild beasts... Here, you can buy almost anything you want.

Of course, this is in a gray area, and most transactions are illegal.

However, the government and the Silver Watch are simply unable to maintain the public order of such a large underground block, and can only turn a blind eye, so this place is a real mixed bag.

In an inconspicuous tavern.

Bai Ye ordered a glass of wine at the bar, and then threw a hundred-dollar bill on the table.

"What do you want to ask?" The bartender asked while wiping the glass carelessly.

"The method to meet the chairman of the Hunter Alliance, Lin Bingzhu."

The bartender put the wiped glass away, and then said: "Do you want to hear a faster way or a slower way?"

"A more low-key way, but not too slow."

The bartender nodded and smiled: "Three days later, the twenty-three central cities will conduct a unified hunter assessment for about a month. If you pass it successfully, you will have the opportunity to meet the chairman when the badge is awarded."

Bai Ye nodded, he had already learned this information on the Internet.

"So, what's a faster way?"

The bartender was silent for a moment, then said, "If you can pay enough money, I can help you get the address of the Hunter Union headquarters. You can go straight in from the entrance and kill your way to the chairman's office."

"... Forget it, just give me the detailed information of the Hunter Assessment."

The bartender smiled and took out a small silver storage device from the safe behind him.

"There are some basic information about the Hunter Assessment in it, five hundred yuan."

Bai Ye counted out five bills from his wallet and placed them on the bar.

After counting the money, the bartender handed the storage device to Bai Ye.

"This information has been sold for more than twenty copies, so don't count on it too much, because your competitors may have already obtained the relevant information."

"Also, the registration period for the Hunter Assessment has passed. If you want to participate now, you still have to find a way to get an invitation."

"By the way, a friendly message, don't stay in the seventh block for too long tonight."

"Otherwise, you may die."
