Chapter 108 "Black Eats Black" "Oak Building" "Traitor"

In a low-rise lobby of a giant building;

Maybe it's because the location is relatively remote, so there aren't any stalls or restaurants here, making it look quite deserted.

Looking out through the sealed window on the north side, one can only see a dark and narrow alley and another huge building ten meters away.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the banging sound of the door being pushed open echoed here, breaking the original peaceful atmosphere.

Hearing the sound, he went to find dozens of guys wearing cold-proof clothing and strange hairstyles breaking in from the west side of the hall.

They are armed with firearms of different calibers, and their hairstyles can be described as "colorful" and "exaggerated", such as afros, hedgehogs, etc., and the strong man in the lead has his hair dyed pink.

Swaggering to the center of the hall.

The strong man looked around, then took out a cigar with half of it left, took out a windproof lighter and lit it.

"Hiss~hoo~!" The strong man inhaled and exhaled contentedly, and said with a disdainful smile: "The Giant God Gang, hehe, a group of gangsters who came out of nowhere, today I want to see how wet they are! "

The "boss", a hedgehog-headed man with a worried look on his face, promptly reminded: "It only took one month for the Titan Gang to go from being unknown to successfully occupying the 30th to 151st floors of the Oak Building. Our old rivals in the past, Lion Gang, Eagle."

"Ha!" The strong man interrupted still nonchalantly: "They just killed a bunch of old guys, what's so great about it?

If I hadn't heard that they had a way to get a lot of ready goods, do you think I would come here in person? And I don't mind taking care of and running the Oak Building for them. Look, we are called helpful, but the premise is that they can't live. "

"."

The hedgehog hesitated and wanted to continue to persuade, but seeing that their boss was unmoved, he had no choice but to give up and let nature take its course.

It seemed that the reason why they came here was to conduct on-site transactions with the so-called Giant God Gang, but the strong man as the leader seemed to have other ideas.

After waiting for a while, the door on the east side of the hall was also pushed open.

Then five people walked in, and although the clothes of these five people were different, the color was uniform black.

In addition, the "leader" of these five people has short red hair and is 2.3 meters tall. His appearance alone is even more intimidating.

!

The moment he saw the other person, the strong man's eyes flashed with solemnity, as if he was making a decision.

However, they quickly regained their arrogance and confidence. After all, they had more than sixty people on their side, while the other party only brought four. What's so scary about a gap of more than ten times?

Seeing the other party approaching and stopping, the strong man put out his cigar first, carefully put it back into the hydration bag, and introduced himself with a hearty smile: "Baler Gang, Kunsa Baler!"

"The Titan Gang, Magnus Sui."

"Sui?" The strong man was stunned, obviously confused about the meaning of this surname.

On the other hand, Magnus, the "leader" of the Titan Gang, had no intention of explaining anything. He said bluntly: "Stop gossiping. Have you brought the money?"

"Ah~! I like your straightforwardness, of course! How can you do a live transaction without cash? Come on! Show it to our Mr. Sui!"

After the strong man finished speaking, the two members of the Baler Gang stepped forward, and then one after another lifted up the silver briefcase with its paint peeling off badly.

Click~click~!

With the crisp sound of the lock, the two members opened the briefcase, revealing what looked like dark red and dark purple plastic sheets, but actually cash in two denominations.

"According to your request, use one hundred cash bills as one pile, fifty piles each of 300 and 100, for a total of two million!" The strong man walked to one of the briefcases and took the initiative to use ultraviolet light to verify the authenticity. , "How about it! It's time for us to take a look at the goods."

"Of course." Magnus had no objection.

The same two members of the Titan Gang stepped forward and opened two brand new briefcases, showing everyone loose cigarettes and cigars in transparent sealed bags, as well as whiskey and vodka filled in glass bottles. Liquor.

"Oh! Fake!" Seeing cigarettes and fine wine, the strong man's eyes almost went straight.

"How about it? Do you need to inspect the goods?" Magnus asked.

"No need! Hahaha!" The strong man who had regained consciousness laughed loudly again, took out a .357 Magnum revolver, raised the gun and pointed it at Magnus's abdomen, saying:

"Because money and goods are not available, the supply of the Oak Building and the Sades will be mine!"

After saying that, the strong man didn't want to give Magnus a chance to reply and was about to pull the trigger immediately.

!

! !

However, no matter how hard I applied my right index finger, the trigger never moved.

wrong! It seems like I can't move my index finger?

While the strong man was shocked, all the members of the Baler Gang who were preparing to launch a sneak attack were unable to complete the simple shooting action.

"You asked for this, don't blame me."

Magnus seemed to have been prepared for a long time, waiting for the strong man to make a "black and black" move. Then he also took out a pistol, but it was a .50AE caliber.

"Bang!!" The deafening sound of gunshots resounded.

"Poof!!" A gap suddenly appeared in the strong man's chest, and blood spurted out.

"Boss!!" The hedgehog roared hysterically, struggling desperately to fight back.

"Da da da!!"

However, the four "members" of the Titan Gang had already raised their 5.7mm submachine guns and continued to fire at the densely positioned Baler Gang.

"Click! Click!"

When the submachine gun was empty and loaded, more than sixty members of the Baler Gang were directly shot into a sieve and fell to the ground without any movement.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of "members" of the Titan Gang wearing black clothing entered the hall from the east and west gates and began to collect corpses, weapons and equipment, and the two million in cash.

Magnus had known for a long time that the Baler gang was trying to prey on the underworld, but in order to have "conclusive evidence", he waited patiently for the other party to be exposed on his own initiative, and at the same time released his psychic powers, instilling into the other party's mind "Why are my hands stiff?" ? I can't shoot!" A strong "hint".

At this time, Magnus had already taken the elevator back to the high-rise base of the building.

The Oak Building where they are located is the operational headquarters of Atlas in Steel City. The Antarctic is also during the polar night period. To be more specific, it is 10:15 on March 23. .

In fact, after Magnus and the others received Sui Yang's approval, they selected one of the most chaotic mega-structures, and then used the large amount of bulk tobacco and alcohol transported by the company to the city to successfully obtain the initial funds for the infiltration operation.

And it only took them one month to completely control the Oak Building, which is about 630 meters high, 220 meters wide, and has a total population of nearly 30,000.

Therefore, the information obtained by the Baler Gang is somewhat outdated. Magognus and the others did not only control the 30th to 151st floors.

Moreover, the buffer zone where the Oak Building is located is sandwiched between the main area and the industrial area of ​​the Steel City. It is the most chaotic area, but it is also the area that contributes the most to the economy.

The trade in tobacco, alcohol, weapons, and large amounts of contraband, as well as countless gray industries, as well as the fact that large gangs "pay taxes" according to the quota every year, have allowed the officials of Humanity Zero-6 to maintain a certain degree of acquiescence, which in turn has contributed to the buffering Gang rule and strife in the area.

Each giant building has a complete air circulation and heating system. The low-rise areas, such as the area between the basement floor and the 40th floor, are concentrated with shops, restaurants and gray industry places, while the middle floors are processing workshops or "vertical farming." " location.

The so-called "vertical farming" is a large greenhouse planned in the middle area, equipped with LED lights and water irrigation devices to facilitate farming by residents in the building. It is an important part of sustainable food production.

90% of the population of a giant building is concentrated in the low and middle floors, while the high-rise areas with more than 140 floors are higher-end consumption places or more spacious and comfortable living units.

As for the operation and management rights of mega-structures in the buffer zone, they are usually in the hands of large gangs. As long as they can guarantee "paying taxes" and do not do any crazy and extreme behavior, such as destroying the building's air circulation system, they will not face official action. Tough encirclement and suppression.

After more than 20 years of development, the various forces and organizational structures in the Steel City are relatively stable, and a few new generations have even lost their fear of doomsday, extinction and other remarks.

In addition to developing gangs in the name of the company, Magnus and others also learned about the past of Earth Zero-6 through the mouths of residents living in Oak Tower and gangs trading outside.

The main universe is 1999, but here it is 2054.

06 The war between humans and the Pioneers has lasted for more than forty years. When the governments of various countries realized that the defeat was irreversible, they decided to invest all resources without sparing any effort and successfully built the Antarctic Steel Capital in 2032.

Between 2032 and 2034, governments did their best to move as many people as they could to the Steel Capital and moved all available equipment.

On March 12, 2035, when the only nine remaining active mechas were performing their last cover transfer mission, they suffered the largest siege of beasts in history.

On March 13, 2035, the last mecha was destroyed by an active overload nuclear reactor. All twenty-four pilots involved in the mission died. However, their deeds of killing forty-six behemoths were successful. Keep the beast tide out of Antarctica for a whole day.

At 16:20 on March 13, 2035, governments of various countries launched more than 85% of their nuclear weapons stockpiles to continents and land outside Antarctica at one time.

Faced with such crazy nuclear deterrence actions by mankind, Pioneer was forced to terminate its general attack on Antarctica, and the two sides actually maintained a "peaceful relationship" for twenty years.

The older generation believes that the war is not over at all. The two sides are in a state of confrontation and secret games. Once the vigilance is relaxed, mankind will be in doom.

But a small number of the new generation, who have just grown up, think that this is a "mutual relationship of peaceful coexistence!".

Combining the recently obtained intelligence, Magnus believes that this is not only the spread of "ignorance", but also more certain that the original stable structure of the City of Steel is being secretly destroyed, accelerating the disintegration, just as his father said. .

now.

Magnus left the elevator, walked through the hall where many weapons and supplies were placed, and then passed through the area that had been transformed into a command center, and finally came to his private office.

The place is not very spacious, but it is neatly organized by Magnus. The metal bookshelf on the right is filled with local plastic books, with a few worn paper books mixed in.

There are several small ornaments on the desk, such as dolls produced by the main universe and decompression toys to relax the finger joints.

All that's left is a simple bed of just the right size, and a ventilation window to the east.

After returning to the bedroom, Magnus sat directly behind his desk, woke up the host, brought up the holographic screen, and sent a request for video communication to his father.

Within a moment, the figure of his father, who was also in the office with him, appeared on the screen.

"Have you encountered anything? If you need any help, just ask." Sui Yang asked.

"No, our development in the Steel City is going well. We also seized a batch of cash and weapons not long ago." Magnus shook his head, then sent the recently collected intelligence to his father, and continued:

"With control of the Oak Tower, we can directly call the Herring Gull's hidden transportation service. If necessary, I will tell you, father. As for the reason for initiating the communication, it is in the intelligence we have collected recently. , realized that the top brass of the Steel City had arrested many senior generals of the PPDC (Pan Pacific Defense Force) on charges of traitors."

"Oh? Really." Sui Yang analyzed on the screen: "It seems that the traitors lurking in the dark intend to completely stifle the resistance in the Steel City. Something must have stimulated them."

"I think so too, father." Magnus nodded lightly, "While we are developing gang power in the name of the company, we are also handling public incidents as "judge mercenaries" and have spread our reputation.

If the forces of the PPDC want to rescue those generals, they will have to rely on the intervention of external forces, and mercenaries are their best choice. So, father, I am prepared to wait patiently for a while, if the situation does not develop as expected. At the invitation, we took the initiative and relied on the hunter company to sneak into the prison where the general was detained. "

"Okay." Sui Yang had no objections, and finally added: "Remember, unless they are plunged into a life of dire straits, once people adapt and get used to a certain stable environment, they often have a strong rejection of change and are unwilling to leave comfort. district.

Therefore, instead of trying to awaken people's awareness of resistance by promoting the threat of pioneers, it is better to directly replace their management, and then subtly change and improve people's quality of life, which can effectively avoid large-scale casualties.

I think you should understand how to do it, and there is no need to give you more detailed guidance and advice, Magnus. "
