NO0100: The only Person You Can Trust Is Yourself (Part 2)

"I'm so hungry..."

Ji Mu, lying on the bed, couldn't help but look at You Xue with some complaints.

"No matter how hungry you are, you can't steal water purification chips to sell for money. What if the municipal water supply is mixed with radiation this time? We will harm more than one or two people."

You Xue said reflexively.

"I didn't say that. I was just stating the objective fact that I was hungry."

Ji Mu couldn't help but curl her lips, and then whispered:

"At least let me have a good meal before I leave..."

You Xue hit her head with a slap.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm here, you can just rest assured and recuperate."

After leaving the New Tianli Sect, Ji Mu took You Xue to the fifth floor of the northern slums where she was born and raised.

She originally thought that she could find the small gang she had mixed with before, but she didn't expect that in the past few years in the New Tianli Sect, the people in charge of the entire northern slums had changed more than a dozen times.

Not to mention that gang, even the people she knew were dead.

But fortunately, with Ji Mu's social skills, she soon got in touch with some gangs with relatively low standards, and then continued to do her original means of making a living.

Contraband smuggling, data theft, dismantling municipal facilities for money, and even part-time scavenger...

At first, Ji Mu would take Youxue with him, but this girl who came from a family of workers in the resettlement area and received government education could not agree with these "illegal" jobs.

Even if she was forced to survive and persuaded herself to do those illegal activities, she would often mess up because she was not ruthless enough or had insufficient experience. During this period, she even put the two of them in dangerous situations many times.

Later, Ji Mu simply let Youxue stay at home and go to work alone. Although it was a bit tiring to support two people, it would not often encounter danger.

But this kind of life did not last long, and Youxue was upset again-she could not accept that she was just a burden.

So, under Youxue's soft and hard grinding, Ji Mu had to take her to do illegal work again.

But this time, it was Ji Mu who got into trouble.

"It seems that the filter of this respirator still needs to be replaced on time..."

After saying that, Ji Mu couldn't stop coughing violently again.

She had received a black job from the middleman before, saying that the pollutant purification pool in the B sector of the fifth floor was shut down due to a malfunction, exposing the core. The tenth-floor government hoped that the local owners would pay for the repairs, while the owners' committee believed that this kind of infrastructure failure was the responsibility of the municipal government, and the two sides had been constantly passing the buck on this matter.

And someone who got the information wanted to take this opportunity to dismantle the valuable parts in the purification core and sell them for money - anyway, they would settle the accounts together when reporting the repair in the end, so he asked the middleman to go to the slums to hire "rats" to complete this task.

Ji Mu took on this task, took protective equipment and sneaked into the shut-down purification pool according to the middleman's information, and dismantled a bag of priceless parts from the core.

Of course, she could only make some difference in the end.

However, the degree of failure of the purification core exceeded the information of the insider. Not only the scrap parts, but even the core of the core, the water purification chip, was exposed.

The crystal that can purify radiation pollution at the atomic level is not a human creation, but a dark web technology that has reached the depth 3 level. When Ji Mu saw the gem-like dazzling thing, even her breathing stopped.

Wealth freedom was waving in front of her.

[Ji Mu, we can't take this thing. The other parts are fine. No matter how much we argue, the tenth-level government will definitely repair it in the end, but if we steal this depth 3 core, I am sure that the tenth level will not make up for it in the end.]

After hearing Ji Mu's exclamation, You Xue, who was watching outside, immediately reminded him.

"But..."

[And we can't sell such a valuable thing, right? What if we encounter a fatal disaster for this? ]

It was this realistic reason that convinced her. In the end, the two of them only received a reward from the middleman that was not too much or too little, and continued to maintain their difficult but fulfilling lives... Or it should have been so, but Ji Mu fell ill shortly afterwards.

After the initial consultation, it was found that the lungs were infected by some genetically modified fungi, suspected to be infected in the purification pool due to the aging of the respirator filter.

It can be cured, but it is very expensive.

For the poor, it is an incurable disease.

Ji Mu's only hope is to let Youxue steal the water purification chip and sell it to treat the disease.

Or, if he is afraid of being killed, just sell this information.

But Youxue chose to refuse.

"Don't you blame me?"

Youxue asked.

Lying on the hospital bed, Ji Mu found an opportunity to answer between coughs.

"If you let me die like this, I will definitely blame you to death."

She pretended to be vicious.

Then, she lowered her voice:

"Since I can only trust myself, then I believe in my judgment... You won't let me die."

And Youxue touched the back of her neck and said:

"Well, me too."

…………

Time goes back to the present.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

For hackers with a certain level of strength, the passage of time in the consciousness space can be slowed down to a certain extent.

The pain for a while, making Ji Mu not know how long he had passed in the real world.

Compared with physical pain, spiritual torture may be more serious.

In this short and long period of time, she watched her body scraped off by one by one, and she was eaten by a sip of snow. Roaring, sorrowful, breathing, roaring, laughing, silent, gritted teeth, gritted, hoarse ...

But she did not admit defeat.

"There is snow ..."

It was another reset, and she was too lazy to count. This is the first time.

Ji Mu watched the snow that was vomiting, calling for her name.

"Vomiting ... What? It's all now, what else do you want to say? What do you ask for mercy?"

Snow looked up at her, panting hard.

"I ... I haven't admitted defeat yet ..."

Ji Mu trembled.

"So? Even if you admit defeat, I won't let you go."

Speaking, there was a terrible smile on Xue's face.

"So ... I believe you don't ..."

The smile on the snow face was even more brilliant. She took out a sharp operating knife and pressed on Ji Mu's face.

Blood beads rolled down along the blade like a ruby.

"I don't say the defeat for the time being ... Next, I will let you confess to me for mercy, and I will refuse softly."

After speaking, the blade began to walk on Ji Mu's face firmly.

The face is one of the most sensitive parts of the human body. The severe pain began to strike along the trajectory of the blade, but Ji Mu suddenly laughed.

She clearly saw a drop of tears slipping from a snowy face and smashed it on the hand of the opponent's knife.

"I didn't expect to see you cry for the first time, it would be in this case. It's ... it's ... not romantic at all."

Ji Mu said crying and laughing.

After hearing the words, he touched his cheeks and touched the corner of his eyes along the tears.

"I……"

She seemed to want to say something, but the next moment, their consciousness was dragged back to the real world from the scene of virtual reality. (This chapter is finished)
