This aura is deadly
Chapter 6 Opportunity City, no opportunities
The lower town area of Opportunity City exudes an atmosphere of depression and poverty. Along the way, Chen Ke saw many closed factories through the windows, most of which were manufacturing cars.
"Brother, are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"
Chen Ke's blood-stained shirt was so eye-catching that the driver stared at it for a long time when he got in the car.
"I accidentally got it while drinking wine." Chen Ke responded.
"You drank grape jam..." The driver shook his head.
Maybe he mistook Chen Ke for a foreigner, or maybe it was just because he wanted to smoke. After a moment of silence, the driver took the initiative to start the conversation.
"Brother, if you came to Opportunity City twenty years ago, I would sincerely welcome you, but you have also seen that there are no opportunities in Opportunity City now."
As the driver spoke, he took out the cigarette box and lit one for himself, then took out the cigarette holder and handed it to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke waved his hand.
"Opportunity City used to be a place to build cars for the world. The cars we built were powerful, solid and beautiful. But the whole world seems to only like the cheap cars from the Rising Sun Country. Now these workers are forced to go to other cities to make a living. , those factories have also become the territory of psychic beasts," the driver said.
"Why don't these abandoned factories be demolished? Do the authorities allow these monsters to nest in residential areas?" Chen Ke asked.
Even if we no longer build cars, we can still demolish factories and build office buildings and shopping malls, right? It's better than leaving things alone and letting monsters run rampant.
"Hehe, then you have to ask the CEOs of the psychic industry. They bought the wasteland with abandoned buildings in the city and waited for them to have a psychic explosion effect..." The driver puffed out smoke and slowly moved the The interests involved were explained to Chen Ke.
Various mysterious events have always occurred in this world. Since 1910, countries around the world have established psychic administrations to deal with all kinds of unspeakable abnormal things and events. For ordinary people, they have long become a part of daily life. .
After World War II, as the psychic explosion space generated by the psychic burst effect increased day by day, the psychic powers departments of various countries met for the first time, established the World Psychic Power Administration, and began to specifically train agents who can use psychic powers to deal with extraordinary situations to target Manage extraordinary global events.
In the 1930s, the latest scientific research discovered that the corpses of monsters in the explosive space and the diamond sacred objects they dropped had a great effect. This also gave birth to related applied research, whether it is military or civilian, it is currently An important research topic in all countries of the world.
Monster corpses are the best raw materials. They can be mixed with any other raw materials to make medicines, food condiments, agricultural products, daily chemical products, and even military equipment.
The large-scale development of the psychic energy industry in the civilian field is even more popular than the Internet.
According to decades of research and observation, it is impossible to kill all the monsters in the psychic burst space. Kill them all once and leave them alone for a while, and the corpses will disappear automatically. More monsters will appear soon after.
When a psychic explosion occurs in a certain place, people from the Psychic Administration will immediately intervene to calm the situation, and then rate the area based on severity and scale.
Then, the Administration will use unique technology to cover this area with a black building, and then open it to all psychic industry companies.
Just like replicas one by one, countless psychic industry companies train their own psychic investigators - people like Parker - to enter this replica to explore.
This area is called "black box space". If nothing else happens, the building that Chen Ke just escaped from will become a black box space in the near future.
These psychic investigators are also divided into five levels of licenses from D to S according to the amount of psychic energy in their bodies. Parker is a D-level rookie investigator. These investigators use their physical aura to power a psychic firearm that is designed to hunt psychic monsters, which is very useful.
Any items brought out from the psychic burst space will be supervised by the Psychic Energy Management Bureau. All the Psychic Energy Industry Company can take away is only the monster corpse materials, and the diamond sacred objects will be recovered by the Bureau.
If any company dares to secretly hide such a sacred diamond, the consequences will be very serious, ranging from the revocation of the spiritual product license to the worst case of the entire company management being arrested and imprisoned.
Black box spaces can be bought out by the administration. When a company buys a black box space, it has a stable "hunting ground for material collection." And many large consortiums will not only buy black box spaces everywhere, but also buy abandoned sites and wait for the psychic explosion effect to occur naturally.
Buying wasteland and raising investigators are the daily operations of these companies. Chen Ke couldn't help but lament that behind the scenes of desolation and depression all over the streets, it actually originated from the will of the power of capital.
Chen Ke lowered his head to check the time from time to time. His limited life span tightly circled his scope of movement. This made Chen Ke feel for the first time that driving in a car was a waste of life.
Fortunately, it was midnight and the road was clear. The taxi sped along and arrived at White Street almost 20 minutes later.
Row after row of six-story dilapidated residential buildings came into view, which instantly reminded him of the old house where his family lived when he was in junior high school, and a sudden feeling of homesickness lingered in his mind.
The car slowly stopped on the side of the road, and the driver clicked off the taxi meter.
"Seven bucks, man."
Chen Ke looked away from the window, took out the black man's wallet from his pocket, took out a 100 note and handed it over, waiting for the driver to give him change.
No matter where you are, it is difficult to move without money, and at this time, Chen Ke needs money more than others! It's impossible for him to take the bus or the subway, he can't afford it.
Chen Ke took a large handful of scattered banknotes and coins, counted them briefly, put them into the inner pocket of his woolen coat, then opened the door and got out of the car.
"Wish you good luck, brother." The driver nodded to Chen Ke and walked away.
Chen Ke looked up at the dilapidated residential building and opened the safety of the M1911A1 in his pocket. This gun was a psychic firearm. Every time he fired a shot, his life span would be shortened by 5 minutes, and he only had 11 bullets left.
If the Glock 17 was not out of bullets, he would not want to use it easily.
Chen Ke strode into the dark corridor, glanced at the door number in the corridor, and estimated that Room 13 was on the fourth floor, so he gently got into the stairwell.
Standing in front of the door of Room 13, Chen Ke did not knock on the door immediately. He put his ear against the door and listened carefully to what was going on inside.
He heard the sound of hot water boiling, the sound of a gas stove burning, and the sound of a man walking in slippers from one end of the room to the other.
Her steps were light and she sounded like a girl. She was on the phone and kept saying "Hmm, um."
Chen Ke tried to turn the door handle, but it didn't lock.
The door opened with a click, and Chen Ke walked into the room. He saw a woman with long curly hair standing in front of the kitchen stove. She looked like she was of mixed Asian and European descent.
"ah!"
The woman glanced at Chen Ke and was immediately frightened by Chen Ke's blood-stained shirt and screamed out.
"You lost a lot of blood!" The woman picked up the rag at hand and walked quickly towards Chen Ke.
Chen Ke waved his hand and said, "It belongs to someone else."
The broth simmering on the gas stove was still boiling, and the aroma was fragrant.
The woman tapped the leak in Chen Ke's shirt with her finger. Her tense expression suddenly relaxed. She smiled and returned to the stove.
Chen Ke closed the door, walked straight to the sofa, sat down, and began to quietly look at the layout of the entire house.
There are two rooms in the small corridor opposite the semi-open kitchen. On the right side of the small hall is the bathroom. There is an old external drainage pipe outside a window... With the window open, anyone can climb into the house along the pipe.
"Is everything going well? I made borscht, do you want some?" the woman asked while simmering the soup.
"I just ate Lan Lanlu and stopped drinking." Chen Ke replied.
"Huh?" The woman was stunned.
"Then have some." Chen Ke looked up at the woman and smiled.
The woman turned her head, continued to stir the soup in the pot, and glanced at Chen Ke quietly.
"+2 seconds"
"+2 seconds"
"+2 seconds"
…
The corners of Chen Ke's mouth raised slightly.
The woman filled a bowl of hot borscht soup and brought it to the coffee table in front of Chen Ke. The fragrant soup was still boiling. Large pieces of beef and sweet potatoes were mixed with various vegetables. They were placed on the amber table. Add it up and down in the colorful soup.
Although the bowl of soup looked tempting, Chen Ke had no appetite. He was not hungry, thirsty, or tired. He felt like a perpetual motion machine.
"Are you tired?" The woman sat next to Chen Ke and tentatively took Chen Ke's left arm.
Chen Ke didn't speak. He turned to look at the woman's eyes, which were blue and beautiful. In her pupils, Chen Ke saw the face of a strange man.
"Go take a shower, and then let's play something exciting. Go quickly." The woman smiled.
She kissed Chen Ke gently on the forehead and then gave him a push.
Chen Ke smiled, followed his plan, and got up to walk into the bathroom.
"Wait a minute, are you wearing your coat to take a shower?" The woman took Chen Ke's hand and helped him take off his blue woolen coat.
Chen Ke frowned, the gun was still inside.
"Go, go, come out and drink soup together." The woman pushed Chen Ke in an intimate manner.
"Then wait for me and don't eat secretly." Chen Ke smiled and walked into the bathroom.
