Chapter 78 Looking for trouble
Dark alley.
Today's dark alleys can no longer be called dark.
The streets are now clean and free of toxic smog and sewage, and the clothes of pedestrians are no longer as ragged as they used to be.
The sun shines from a thin line of sky above the Rift Valley, causing the green plants that fill the window sills and doorways of every house to grow vigorously.
The appearance of the people is also very different. Everyone can be said to be strong, and the expressions on their faces are full of confidence and pride.
There are no skinny Zaans on the streets anymore. Even if there are some who look emaciated, their bodies under the clothes have tight tendons, and they may be able to hit several heavy blows with one punch!
This is all due to the shimmering potion.
The optimized version of the Glimmer Elixir has been supplied to Zaun for five years.
With the expansion of recruitment in Zaun's reforms, there are no more unemployed people in Zaun today.
All Zaun people have a job to support themselves, and in addition to the money needed for life, the wealthy people use the money to buy shimmering potions.
Less than half of the people drank the potion continuously for three years, which brought the body to the limit of strengthening.
Most people use it for an extra year or two.
Even the poorest Zaun people have increased their physical fitness several times by drinking water and alcohol for five years.
It can be said that among the current Zaun people, the weakest one is also a third of Captain America.
And those who have been strengthened to the limit have reached the level of four-fifths of Captain America.
Unknowingly, the Zaun people have become the strongest race in the world!
But this change is well hidden.
In the eyes of the outside world, the strength of the Zaun people is only because of the "Glimmer Potion". Without the potion, Zaun is no different from ordinary people in other countries.
Because of this biased perception, many external forces are eyeing Zaun.
Ever since the construction of the Hex Flying Gate was completed and officially operational three years ago, spies from various forces began to swarm towards the Twin Cities.
After all, the interests of the Twin Cities are too great!
After the Hexgate was launched, Piervot became the center of the world economy.
The movement of regular goods passes through there, and Pi City also sells its high-tech products to all over the world, making all Pi City people extremely rich.
And Zaun is the largest black market in the world.
Zaun has become a hive of all contraband in the world. All officially controlled things can be purchased here.
If Pi City holds the throat of all countries on the bright side, then Zaun holds the heart of all countries on the dark side!
Suddenly, Piltover and Zaun became necessary blood supply organs for all countries and large forces.
All countries and large forces want to take the Twin Cities into their hands!
Not only them, but also some small forces are eager to suck the blood of the Twin Cities.
Such as the gangsters and pirates of Bilgewater.
In the past two years, the gangs and pirates from Bilgewater have frequently appeared in Zaun.
Trading contraband and prohibited items is one of the reasons, but their fundamental purpose is to take root in Zaun!
It's a pity that the people of Zaun are too united after undergoing changes!
If a gangster dares to cause trouble, then the Zaun people will let them know what a real gangster is!
If pirates dare to cause trouble, the Zaans will also let those people know what a real bandit is!
In this way, the Zaans used several chaotic processes to pull out all the tentacles from Bilgewater!
But the forces of Bilgewater didn't stop there.
They turned from the bright side to the dark side, splitting their manpower into pieces and sending them to Zaun, always looking for opportunities for everything to take root again.
As a result, Bilgewaters became common here in Zaun.
If you go to the streets and take a look, if you have dark and rough skin, and if you have a fishy smell on your body, 90% of them are Bilgewater people.
Those people were like street gangsters and became the primary surveillance targets of Zaun's law enforcement officers.
Just like now.
A slight buzzing sound rang from high above. A Zaun law enforcement officer stood on a flying skateboard and watched coldly as a slutty Mrs. Pierwater walked into a shop.
The law enforcement officer looked at the building of the store, and then sneered playfully.
He gave up monitoring and directly controlled the flying skateboard to fly away to find the next target worth monitoring.
As for whether something will happen to that store?
No one dares to cause trouble there!
In the store at this time.
The doorbell jingled, causing a middle-aged man sitting at the counter to open his eyes with his eyes closed.
"welcome……"
A greeting without any enthusiasm sounded: "What would the guest like to have?"
Hearing the sound, Mrs. Pearlwater, who had a tattoo on her right cheek, looked at the shop owner.
He looked at the greasy clothes on the boss's body, and then at the untrimmed beard on his face.
Finally, the tattooed man took another look at the boss's weak physique and his exposed forearms that didn't feel tight and muscular.
"Hey……"
The tattooed man smiled.
He walked to the counter and stretched his left arm horizontally to support it.
Looking at the various parts on the counter, the tattooed man said jokingly: "I heard that you have the best repair technology in Zaun?"
"I love you so much."
The middle-aged man looked like he hadn't woken up and replied calmly: "Tell me, what does the guest want?"
Peng!
One right leg was lifted up and hit hard on the counter.
"I've been feeling a little sick in my legs lately."
The tattooed man with a posture of climbing on the counter smiled and said: "Boss, please fix it for me."
The middle-aged man glanced at the prosthetic limb with a 'glow structure' and then asked, "What does the guest think is wrong?"
"You ask me?" The tattooed man smiled ferociously: "If I want to know what's wrong, do I need you to show me? Let me ask, is the technology you have here good? If you dare to waste my time, I won't It will make you feel better!”
The middle-aged man raised his eyelids and glanced at the tattooed man.
Then he pointed to the sofa and said, "Guest, please sit there and I'll check it for you."
"Heh... 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.
He unfolded the tool bag and picked out a disassembly tool from inside.
Peng!
The tattooed man put his feet on the small coffee table, and a fishy smell gradually spread from his trouser legs.
The middle-aged man did not dislike it.
With a dull expression, he took up his hands and inspected the tattooed man's prosthetic limb.
A few minutes later, the middle-aged man restored the structure of the disassembled prosthetic leg and dripped some engine oil into it.
"Okay." He said to the tattooed man with a malicious look: "There is no problem with the prosthetic leg. It's just that it was soaked in water for too long and it lacks a little lubrication. Let's try walking a few steps now."
The tattooed man slowly took his feet back and put them down.
next moment.
Peng!
He punched the small coffee table.
The tattooed man leaned forward, stared at the middle-aged man with vicious eyes and shouted angrily: "Lack of engine oil?! It's such a simple problem! But you completely dismantled my prosthetic leg?!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
The tattooed man yelled, lifted up his dirty coat, and showed off a short blade stuck in his side.
"guest……"
The middle-aged man explained to the other party calmly: "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?!"
The tattooed man smiled ferociously: "I want compensation! My leg was fine at first! But after you removed it, something happened! If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, even if you bring trouble to the law enforcement bureau! I will smash your leg first." A shabby shop!
"
"Smash my store?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly: "Guest, is this your first time coming to Zu'an?"
"What nonsense are you talking to me about!"
The tattooed man drew out his curved-edged dagger.
He pointed the well-maintained weapon at the tip of the shop owner's nose, threatening to attack 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, partially blocking the sunlight in the store.
The tattooed man looked subconsciously.
The first thing that caught his eye and made him unable to take his eyes away were the two huge metal gloves of the visitor.
Look at other places.
Black and gray vertical striped trousers, the thighs are tied tightly with two layers of nails.
Underneath are metal knee pads and metal combat boots.
Looking at the upper body, the person was wearing a tight gray leather jacket.
The lower abdomen is tightened with two buckles, and a thick black leather belt is wrapped around the waist.
The chest area is covered with a metal bra, and the two bulges of the C-cup cup are not sexy at all. Instead, it makes people immediately imagine how painful it would be to hit it.
Looking up again, you can see two metal shoulder pads, one large and one small.
The shoulder pad on the right side is as huge as a human head. If it is used for shoulder collision, it will be unstoppable.
The visitor's neck was tied with a black leather neckband, which slightly covered the tattoos on his skin.
On top of that are the red lips, the tip of a straight and delicate nose, and a pair of eyes that reveal a look that is not to be trifled with.
Finally, there is a head of pink hair, combed sideways, with several small braids hanging behind her back.
When he saw the face of the visitor clearly, the tattooed man couldn't help but stiffen.
He stared straight at the tattoo symbols on the visitor's face.
"vi...!"
Unknowingly, he murmured the symbol, and the tattooed man jumped up as if his hair was exploding.
"Zun'an law enforcement leader! Wei Aolai?!
"
The tattooed man almost screamed: "What do you want to do?! I didn't commit any crime!
"
"oh?"
Wei tilted her head and briefly glanced at the tattooed man, then he looked at the shop 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 didn't commit any crime!
How can you hurt innocent people? !
"
"Ha! Innocent?"
Wei looked at the tattooed man again, raised the glove on her left hand and pointed towards the store hall: "Do you know where this is?"
As she spoke, she asked and answered herself: "This is my mother's house! This old man..."
He pointed the finger of his glove at the shopkeeper: “He is my mother’s father!
"
As soon as he said these words, the tattooed man lost his soul instantly.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the slovenly middle-aged man with shocked eyes. At this moment, he was completely despairing...
Peng!
There was a muffled sound in the shop, accompanied by the sound of broken bones.
The next moment, a figure quickly flew out of the store door and landed on the street, losing its movement.
Two law enforcement officers controlled the flying skateboard to land.
One of them jumped off the skateboard and bumped the tattooed man's body with his toes. He raised his eyes and shook his head at his companion: "It's useless. I guess most of the bones are broken."
"Just the old rules."
Another law enforcement officer said nonchalantly: "Whoever makes him unlucky enough to run wild at the boss's house, just 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 somewhat reluctant.
"I can go too."
The law enforcement officer in the sky smiled and said: "But the boss is probably very angry now. Are you sure you want to stay?"
The law enforcement officer on the ground froze.
The next moment, he immediately bent down and stretched out his hand without saying anything.
He easily picked up the tattooed man with one hand, and the law enforcement officer ignored the sound of bone dislocation coming from the other man's body.
He jumped on the flying skateboard and took off directly to the top of the rift valley.
The law enforcement officer who stayed behind shook his head in amusement, glanced at the store, and then flew away as well.
Repair shop.
Wei took off a pair of huge boxing gloves, then walked to the sofa and sat down, crossing her legs and placing them on the small coffee table.
Seeing Ke Wen walking back to the counter, Wei said with disgust and helplessness: "I mean, can't you go back to your original clean appearance?"
"Goodbye."
Kewen shook his head while placing the tool bag: "More and more people are coming to Zaun. I don't want to be misunderstood as your boyfriend anymore, nor do I want to be said to be the pretty boy you kept at home. .”
"They can talk as much as they like." Wei curled her lips: "Do you still care about that?"
"Even if there aren't those gossips, it's not appropriate to keep looking the same all the time."
Ke Wen looked at Wei and said with a smile: "Immortality has always been the instinctive desire of living things. If someone discovers it, it may cause a lot of trouble."
"Then at least shave."
Wei was a little disgusted: "And your clothes, can't you change into something cleaner? They are covered with engine oil. Others think we are prodigal and make your life miserable."
】
"It's just for outsiders to see."
Ke Wen looked down at his clothes: "It's rare to see you and Bao Bao. Anyway, you both stay away from home all day long."
These words made Wei roll her eyes: "Who is as free as you? We are almost too busy every day."
"Really?" Ke Wen smiled playfully.
Wei, on the other hand, averted her gaze with a guilty conscience. She laughed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about that. There is a parliament meeting tonight. The matters discussed are very important. Are you going?"
"Okay, let's go take a look." Ke Wen nodded.
"Then remember to pack it up before you go!"
Wei pointed at Ke Wen's clothes: "I don't want to hear what the little vixen from the Myrdalda family wants to do to me!"
Ke Wen touched the beard on his face, and then smiled: "Look, it's necessary for me to be like this, right? Otherwise, that villain should have attacked me long ago. If she became your mother, , you and Baobao will probably be bullied even more in the council."
"She dares!
"Wei immediately became furious.
He stood up and shouted: "Who dares to attack you! Let's see if I don't tear apart the bones of those bitches!"
Laughter rang out, and the cheerful laughter came out of the repair shop, making pedestrians on the street look over in surprise.
But after discovering that the laughter originated from the repair shop, the Zaun people on the street couldn't help but smile with gratitude and admiration...
