Vol 8 Chapter 78: find fault
dark alley.
Today's black alleys can no longer be called black.
The streets are clean and free from toxic haze and sewage, and the clothes of pedestrians are no longer as tattered as they used to be.
The sun shines from the sky above the rift valley, making the green plants on the window sills and doorways of each household flourish.
The looks of the people are also very different. Everyone can be called strong, and the expressions on their faces are full of confidence and pride.
There are no more skinny Zaun people on the streets. Even if there are some skinny ones, their tendons are tight under the cover of clothes, and they may be able to exert a lot of force with a single punch!
This is all thanks to the shimmer potion.
Improved versions of Shimmer Potions have been available in Zaun for five years.
With the expansion of Zaun's reform and recruitment, there are no more unemployed people in Zaun today.
All Zaunites have a job to support themselves, and in addition to the money needed for living, the wealthy part of the funds are used by Zaunites to buy Shimmer Potions.
The little half drank the medicine for three years in a row, thus making the body reach the limit of strengthening.
Most people take an extra year or two.
Even the poorest Zaunites have multiplied their physical fitness by drinking water and alcohol for five years.
It can be said that among the current Zaun people, the weakest is also a third of Captain America.
And those who have already been strengthened to the limit, their strength has reached the level of four-fifths of Captain America.
Before they knew it, the people of Zaun had become the strongest race in the world!
But this change is well hidden.
From the perspective of the outside world, the strength of the people of Zaan is only due to the "twilight potion". Without the potion, the people of Zaan are no different from ordinary people in other countries.
Because of this prejudiced cognition, many external forces are eyeing Zaun.
Since the completion of the construction of the "Hex Flying Gate" and its official operation three years ago, spies from various forces began to flock to Shuangcheng.
After all, the interests of the two cities are too great!
With the Hexgate in operation, Pierwater became the center of the world economy.
Regular commodities must pass through there, and Piltover also sells its own high-tech products to all over the world, making all the people in Piltover extremely rich.
Zaun is the largest black market in the world.
Zaan has become the hive of all contraband in the world, and all the things that are under official control can come to Zaan to buy and start.
If it is said that Picheng is holding the throat of all countries on the bright side, then Zaan is holding the heart of all countries on the dark side!
In the light and in the dark, Piltover and Zaun have become the necessary blood supply organs for all countries and large forces.
All countries and large forces want to hold the Twin Cities in their hands!
Not only them, even some small forces are eager to draw blood from Shuangcheng.
Such as Bilgewater gangsters and pirates.
For the past two years, those Bilgewater gangsters and pirates have been frequently seen here in Zaun.
Buying and selling smuggled and contraband is one of the reasons, but their fundamental purpose is to root their tentacles into Zaun!
It's a pity that the people of Zaun after the transformation are too united!
If gangsters dare to come and cause trouble, the people of Zaun will let them know what a real gangster is!
If the pirates dare to make trouble, then the people of Zaun will also let those people know what a real robber is!
And just like that, the Zaunites pulled out all the tentacles from Bilgewater in a messy process a few times!
But the forces of Bilgewater did not stop there.
They turned from the bright side to the dark side, sending people to Zaun in pieces, always looking for the opportunity to re-root.
Thus, Bilgewaters became common here in Zaun.
Go to the streets and look, as long as the skin is dark and rough, as long as there is a fishy smell on the body, 90% of them are Bilgewater people.
Those people are like street scumbags, and they have become the primary targets of surveillance for Zaun's law enforcement officials.
Just like now.
A slight hum rumbled from above, and a Zaun law enforcement officer stood on a flying skateboard, watching a sluggish Mrs. Pierwater walk into a shop.
The law enforcement officer looked at the building of the store, and then laughed jokingly.
He gave up monitoring, and directly controlled the flying skateboard to fly away to find the next target worthy of monitoring.
As for that shop, will something happen?
No one dares to make trouble there!
And at this time in the shop.
The doorbell 'jingle' rang, causing a middle-aged man who was sitting at the counter to rest his eyes and closed his eyes to open his eyes.
"welcome…"
A greeting without a trace of enthusiasm sounded: "What would you like to have?"
Hearing the sound, Mrs. Pierwater, who had a tattoo engraved on her right cheek, looked at the shopkeeper.
He looked at the somewhat greasy clothes on the boss, and then at the untrimmed beard on the boss's face.
Finally, the tattooed man took another look at the boss's not strong physique, and the exposed forearm that didn't feel tense.
"Hey…"
The tattooed man smiles.
He walked at the pace of my second child, came to the counter and put his left arm on it.
Looking at the various parts in the counter, the tattooed man jokingly said, "I heard that you have the best maintenance skills in Zaun?"
"I love you."
The middle-aged man replied calmly, as if he hadn't woken up: "Tell me, what does the guest want?"
Peng!
A right leg was lifted up and hit the counter heavily.
"I've always felt something wrong with my leg recently."
The tattooed man in the posture of climbing the counter smiled and said, "Boss, fix it for me."
The middle-aged man glanced at the prosthetic limb with a 'twilight structure', and then asked, "What's wrong with the guest?"
"You ask me?" The tattooed man grinned: "If you want to know what's wrong, do I still need you to show me? I said, is your technology good? If you dare to waste my time, I will not Will make you feel better!"
The middle-aged man raised his eyelids and glanced at the tattooed man.
Then he pointed to the sofa: "Guests go and sit there, I'll check it out for you."
"Oh... OK."
The tattooed man put his legs down, walked to the sofa in two steps and sat down.
The middle-aged man walked out of the counter with a leather tool bag and sat down opposite the tattooed man.
Unfolding the tool bag, he picked out a disassembly tool from it.
Peng!
The tattooed man put his feet on the small coffee table, and a stench gradually spread from his trouser legs.
The middle-aged man did not dislike it.
With a flat face, he started to check the tattooed man's prosthesis.
A few minutes later, the middle-aged man restored the structure of the disassembled prosthesis, and poured some engine oil into it.
"Okay." He said to the tattooed man with a malicious look: "The prosthesis is fine, it's just that it has been soaked in water for too long and lacks a little lubrication. Let's take a few steps and try it now."
The tattooed man slowly retracted his feet and put them down.
next moment.
Peng!
A fist hit the small coffee table.
The tattooed man leaned forward, stared fiercely at the middle-aged man and roared: "Lack of oil?! It's such a simple problem! You took my prosthetic limb apart?!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
The tattooed man roared, and lifted his dirty coat, showing a short blade stuck in his side.
"guest…"
The middle-aged man explained to the other party without any surprise or panic: "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?!"
The tattooed man grinned grinningly: "I want compensation! My leg was fine at first! But after you dismantle it, something will happen! If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, it will be a trouble with the law enforcement bureau! I will smash your leg first!" Broken shop!
"
"Smash my shop?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Guest, is this your first time in Zaun?"
"What nonsense are you talking to me!"
The tattooed man drew out his curved dagger.
He pointed the well-maintained weapon at the tip of the shop owner's nose, threatening with a gesture of ready to strike at any time: "Hurry up..."
jingle!
The doorbell rang softly, and the door of the shop was pushed open from the outside.
A figure appeared at the door, covering a little of the sunlight in the shop.
The tattooed man looked subconsciously.
The first thing that caught his eyes and made him unable to take his eyes off were the two huge metal gloves of the visitor.
Then look at other places.
Black and gray vertical trousers, the thighs are fastened with two layers of armor.
Below that are metal knee pads and metal boots.
Looking at the upper body, the person who came was wearing a tight gray leather jacket.
The lower abdomen is fastened with two buckles, and a thick black leather belt is wrapped around the waist.
The chest is covered with a metal breastplate, and the two protruding parts of the c-cup are not sexy, but will make people immediately imagine how painful it would be to bump into it.
Looking up, you can see two metal shoulder guards, one big and one small.
The shoulder pad on the right is huge like a human head, if it is used to sink the shoulders and charge, it will be unstoppable.
A black leather neckband was tied around the visitor's neck, and the neckband covered the tattoo on the skin a little.
On top of that are the rosy lips, the upturned and delicate nose tip, and a pair of eyes that reveal an uneasy look.
The last is a head of pink hair, combed obliquely, with a few small braids hanging behind her.
When he saw the person's face clearly, the tattooed man's body froze involuntarily.
He stared straight at the tattoo symbol on the visitor's face.
"vi...!"
Unknowingly muttering the symbol, the tattooed man jumped up as if his hair exploded in an instant.
"Zuan Law Enforcement Chief! Vi Ole?!
"
The tattooed man almost screamed and shouted: "What do you want?! I did nothing wrong!
"
"oh?"
Wei tilted his head and glanced briefly at the tattooed man, and then he looked at the owner: "Old man, how about I just kill him?"
"how dare you!
! "
Without waiting for the middle-aged man to respond, the tattooed man immediately continued to scream: "I did nothing wrong!
How can you hurt the innocent? !
"
"Ha! Innocent?"
Wei looked at the tattooed man again, and raised his left glove to point to the shop lobby: "Do you know where this is?"
As she spoke, she asked herself and answered: "This, is this mother's house! This old man..."
Pointing the finger of the glove to the shopkeeper: "He is my mother's old man!
"
As soon as these words fell, the tattooed man lost his soul instantly.
He turned his head slowly, and looked at the slovenly middle-aged man with astonished eyes. At this moment, all thoughts of him were lost...
Peng!
There was a muffled sound in the shop, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.
The next moment, a figure quickly flew out from the store door, fell on the street and lost its movement.
Two law enforcement officers controlled the flying skateboard to land.
One of them jumped off the skateboard and touched the tattooed man's body with his toes. He raised his eyes and shook his head at his companion: "It's useless, most of the bones should be broken."
"Old rules."
Another law enforcement officer said indifferently: "Who made him unlucky to come to the boss's house to play wild, you fly away and throw him into the sea to feed those monsters."
"Why don't you go?" The law enforcement officer on the ground was a little reluctant.
"I can go."
The law enforcement officer in the sky said with a smile: "But the boss is probably angry now, are you sure to stay?"
The law enforcement officer on the ground froze.
The next moment, he immediately bent down and stretched out his hand without saying a word.
The tattooed man was easily picked up with one hand, and the law enforcement officer ignored the sound of bone dislocation coming from the other's body.
He jumped on the flying skateboard and lifted off directly to the top of the rift.
The remaining law enforcement officer laughed and shook his head, he glanced at the shop, and then flew away as well.
Inside the repair shop.
Wei took off a pair of huge fist gloves, then she walked to the sofa and sat down, and put her legs crossed on the small coffee table.
Looking at Ke Wen who walked back into the counter, Wei said with disgust and helplessness: "I said you, can't you change back to the original clean look?"
"Come on."
Ke Wen shook his head while laying the tool bag: "More and more people come to Zaun, I don't want to be misunderstood as your boyfriend anymore, and I don't want to be said to be the little boy who was raised by you at home .”
"They can talk as much as they like." Wei curled her lips: "Do you still care about that?"
"Even without those gossips, it's not appropriate to keep your face the same."
Ke Wen looked at Wei, and he said with a smile: "Immortality has always been the instinctive desire of living beings. If someone finds out, it may cause a lot of trouble."
"Then you should at least shave."
Wei was a little disgusted: "And your clothes, why can't you change into something cleaner? It's full of engine oil, and others think we're such a prodigal, making your life so miserable."
】
"It's just for outsiders to see."
Ke Wen looked down at his clothes: "You and Baobao are rarely seen, anyway, each of you is away from home all day."
This made Wei roll her eyes: "Who is as busy as you, we are so busy every day."
"Really?" Cowen smiled playfully.
Wei, on the other hand, averted her eyes with a guilty conscience, and said with a laugh: "Forget it, let's not talk about that, the council is going to be held tonight, and the things to discuss are very important, will you go?"
"Okay~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ go and have a look." Ke Wen nodded.
"Then remember to pack it up for me before going!"
Wei pointed to Ke Wen's clothes: "I don't want to hear that little vixen from the Midarda family run on me again!"
Ke Wen touched the beard on his face, and then smiled: "Look, it's necessary for me to behave like this? Otherwise, that villain would have attacked me long ago. If she became your mother , you and Baobo are probably more bullied in the council."
"She dares!
"Wei frowned immediately.
He stood up and yelled: "Who dares to attack you! See if I don't dismantle those whores' bones!"
Laughter sounded, and the repair shop came out of the laughing laughter, which made the passers-by on the street look over in surprise.
But after discovering that the laughter came from the repair shop, the people of Zaun on the street couldn't help showing grateful and admiring smiles...
