Chapter 740 The Soil of Sin

Beibei Gathering Area Jinxiu Jiangshan Residential Area

Although it was almost three o'clock in the morning, the lights in the Bauhinia Pavilion Club at the Wolf Smoke Hall headquarters were still brightly lit.

However, due to the good light-shielding effect, it is difficult for outsiders to see any mystery.

Nowadays, there are many places like Zijing Pavilion in the entire Beibei gathering area, which ignore the curfew, use generators illegally, and secretly stockpile fuel through illegal means.

These serious crimes were enough to earn you an all-you-can-eat meal in the past, but now they have become a symbol for various forces in Beibei to demonstrate their strength.

Because compared to following the rules, trampling on the rules is obviously more special and more awesome!

However, with the recent rapid deterioration of grassroots management in gathering places, the level of this violation has also been rapidly declining.

Secretly generating electricity and turning on lights during curfew is no longer the threshold to becoming a powerful force, but has become a standard feature of almost all forces.

Because you only need to say hello to the regional law enforcement agency and make some statements, you will basically not be investigated or have any problems.

However, various large regional gangs such as the Langyan Hall hate this to the core!

That’s right, compared to ordinary survivors who are already at the bottom of the ecological niche, large regional gangs such as Langyantang are the biggest victims of the corruption of grassroots governance in the gathering places.

After all, those survivors at the bottom of the ecological niche will always be the ones who are bullied no matter how the situation changes, and their status will not fluctuate too much.

However, it is different for large gangs like Langyantang. The extremely bad impact brought about by the corruption of grassroots governance on them is that it greatly lowers the entry threshold to the "industry" and increases the intensity of competition!

After all, if you want to get into gangs, it’s not enough to just be brave and fight hard. Without connections, you’re still a small fry even if you’re a good fighter!

These large gangs don't even need to take action themselves, they just need to collude with the people behind the scenes to sell these young and unreliable gangsters for a good price.

However, this is no longer possible now. The grassroots law enforcement system is completely rotten. As long as you give benefits, everyone will be treated equally!

This is not as simple as just opening the floodgates and letting in a group of extremely hungry piranhas, but it is also equivalent to forcing these large gangs that used to sit high in the clouds and claim to be the rule makers of the dark side of Beibei to show their health bars!

These up-and-coming gangsters don't know what it means to respect the old and love the young. All they do is dare to fight and struggle. No matter what the four emperors and eight kings of the underground are, I can kill them all with a machete!

Therefore, during this period of time, the dark side of the Beibei gathering place was shaken very violently, and large regional gangs such as the Langyan Hall were completely the target of public criticism!

Countless new forces are watching secretly, and once they find an opportunity, they will step on it without hesitation to get to the top. Even if they cannot get to the top, it is still great to use it to establish their power!

The reason why the current crazy situation has occurred is that the bottom layer of the Beibei gathering area has been turned into a world that is almost like a gangster novel. In addition to the fact that poor supervision should bear part of the responsibility, the more important reason is the inherently fertile soil of the underworld in Yucheng!

The Yucheng area has had a very strong Pao-Ge culture since ancient times. A few years ago, at the beginning of the millennium, the Yucheng authorities launched a targeted crackdown, but did not damage the roots, and it had already revived before the outbreak of the apocalypse.

Bus routes, prices of daily necessities, real estate development, etc. are all deeply controlled and monopolized by criminal gangs. For example, in crowded areas like train stations and bus stations, taxis will not allow buses to stop at all.

In addition, violent crimes are extremely serious, with the unsolved rate of gang-related homicides as high as 45%!

Gang activities were so rampant that before the end of the world, people in Yucheng even reached a consensus that the police were not as useful as the gangs.

It can be seen from this that the recent chaos in the Beibei gathering area is not a decline, but a return.

...

"Brother Wolf, I have already found out the circumstances of Xiaohu's capture!"

In the conference room on the top floor of the Bauhinia Pavilion Club, eleven core leaders of the Wolf Smoke Hall gathered together.

The conference room was filled with smoke and the choking smell of cigarettes. The air was sticky and oppressive.

"What do you mean? Was it the government or the military? How did they get targeted? Was it a coincidence or was it someone's fault?"

Upon hearing the news about his cousin, the bald man known as Su Lao Hu couldn't wait to ask, without waiting for Wolf Brother, the leader of the Wolf Smoke Hall who was sitting in the main seat, to speak.

Hearing this, the person reporting the incident responded immediately after receiving a look from Brother Wolf:

"According to the recollections of the gang members who were present at the time, judging from the tactics used by the other party to capture Xiaohu, it was most likely the military, because the official law enforcement agencies are not that murderous."

"The reason should be a coincidence. It is said that after the commander of the military sub-district, Commander Lu, shouted for silence, Xiaohu did not immediately quiet down, and then he was caught by the plainclothes soldiers hiding in the crowd!"

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Lao Hu slammed his fist on the conference table, causing the water in the cups in front of everyone on the table to shake as if there was an earthquake.

"I'll fuck him like a fairy!!"

"Commander! Damn it! What the hell are you doing here, you bastard? I was just a little slow, but you grabbed my cousin and took him away!"

Su Lao Hu's expression was extremely ferocious as he cursed, and the tiger head tattoo on his neck seemed to come alive because of the rapid expansion and contraction of blood vessels.

Seeing this, other people in the meeting room also started shouting and cursing!

"This damn Zhanjiang Military Sub-district is too overbearing!"

"You don't take us underground forces seriously at all. You're trying to show off your power right away?"

"Brother Wolf, why don't we do something to let them know how powerful we are!"

"Yeah, yeah! Do something!"

"Let's not provoke each other too much. Isn't the Yucheng Ninth Hospital right next to us? Just pick off a few female nurses at random!" As he said this, the man who made the suggestion couldn't help licking his dry lips.

"This is a good suggestion! The hospital is the most peripheral unit of the government and is not that sensitive. We can let them know how powerful we are without causing the government to be so cruel as to target us!"

"Yes, yes, these officials are all the same. As long as their core interests are not touched, they will not put in much effort!"

The proposal to establish authority by using the female medical staff of the Ninth Hospital of Chongqing City quickly gained widespread support.

After all, they are gangsters. No matter what they say, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is ingrained in their bones.

Just like why gangsters are keen on worshipping Guan Gong, it’s not because they value loyalty, but because they lack loyalty the most.

So don't be fooled by the shouting and cursing. In fact, when the real fighting starts, those present only dare to target official units like the Yucheng No. 9 Hospital which have no real power.

However, the middle-aged man sitting in the first seat, called Brother Wolf, rejected it out loud after a brief thought.

"No, Yucheng Ninth Hospital cannot move!"
