MTL - The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era-Chapter 41 tickets

exchanging money for life...

"See the man in the red suit over there?" The fat man pointed to a blond man standing at the entrance of the fortification.

The other party was wearing a red suit, dressed quite formally, wearing black earphones, constantly communicating, and his lips kept opening and closing.

"What does he do?"

"The one who issued the 'tickets'," Fatty said, "he was in charge of coordinating the last batch. There weren't many people who came at that time, so I was skeptical, and the tickets were too expensive. Hey, now that I think about it, I really regret it, I regret it to death, I was already in Huicheng District."

"Is there any doubt about this? There are so many mice." Xu Yang shook his head, "If there is a chance, I will definitely leave."

"I don't know, I'm working on the 26th highland," Fatty said anxiously, "then the power went out suddenly, and it took 30 minutes to recover. I don't know what happened, everyone was confused, and then Only then did I hear that the Katagi district was flooded by a large group of rats."

"It's not just the Piemu District, they'll be here soon." Xu Yang looked back, and during these few hours, the rats were dormant, preparing for a larger-scale offensive.

For the Rat People who are weak in technology and physicality, they will definitely attack cautiously in the face of the heavily defended Huicheng District.

"So everyone stopped here," Fatty pointed to the crowd and the closed passage, "just waiting to die."

Xu Yang looked at the facility at the checkpoint, which had the nameplate of the Aizu Citizen Service Company on it.

Each city has its own municipal service company, which provides services such as water, electricity, roads, infrastructure, and security, but they are all the most basic and basic. Anyone who has requirements for quality of life will not choose them.

"They have no reason not to let them go," Xu Yang said. "You should have hired your own security services."

The contract stipulates that in a critical moment, the security company must come to pick up people from the dangerous area, and according to the company alliance law, the citizen service company has no right to prevent people from evacuating.

"Yes, yes, many of the 2,000 people who passed by before went there because they bought security services." Fatty sighed, "But what do you mean by saying, 'They all hired their own security services?', the actual situation is Most people don't!"

"What about your own security service?"

"The signal is too poor, I can't connect to them." Fatty was helpless, "I was greedy and bought a security guard in the Ocean District. They sent me a message every 2 hours, and every time they said they were on the road."

"……really."

Also, I used to work in Gauge Kyushu, and the company directly managed my safety. All employees were under the protection of Gauge Kyushu. Most of the population in the surrounding cities also bought annual or lifetime security services from Gauge Kyushu.

But here, how can they afford security services? You can only pay tribute to the gang in exchange for one-day stability.

There are at least 20,000 people here.

Xu Yang looked around, and all he saw were crowds of people, people who couldn't see the edge at a glance, and countless citizens were exhausted and exhausted.

The more he thought about it, the colder his body became.

There are at least 20,000 people here...

When the rat tide is approaching, they will be trapped alive between the level set by the company and the rat people.

"A mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood." Xu Yang murmured.

"What?" Fatty was puzzled.

"The rat people will eat and wipe everyone here." Xu Yang said.

"Impossible," the fat man was suspicious. "If there is really an army of rat people approaching, the municipal service company should let it go."

"Not necessarily," Xu Yang shook his head, "you didn't buy security services, it's unplanned for the company, it's a population that doesn't exist, and only those who provide benefits to the company are valuable people, maybe clear you up, yes On the contrary, it is a cost-effective transaction for the company, which is convenient for them to hold the place, stop the rats, and eliminate the excess population.”

"I'm not a surplus population," Fatty said anxiously, "I'm also a little boss, but the capital chain is too tight, who knew that the Aizu underground city would become so dangerous?"

"Yeah..." Xu Yang agreed, "This place is underground in Anjiu City. Anjiu City is also a city in the infinite hinterland of Kyoto, a place where even corporate wars will not be affected..."

"..." Fatty's expression became more and more worried, "Really... Are we really going to die here?"

"There is a high probability that this is the case." Xu Yang said, "Since the city service company blocked the connection..."

What if you hack into a roadblock? Xu Yang thought to himself. Shut down the riot machine gun towers, put away the barricades, shield the interceptors, and take the EMI equipment offline, and people will be able to pass through the connection without hindrance, leave this hellish place, and head to Huicheng District.

The risk... is too great.

This is not a dark underground excavation site. It is one step away from Huicheng District, that is, back to the territory of civilization.

It was easy for the company to detect my hack and then locate and dispose of me.

I'm still on the bounty list of the company alliance! How can it be so risky.

I don't know that millions of people are thinking about my head. Previously, in the No. 26 Highland and Yamu District, it could be said to be isolated from the world, but Kehui City was another scene, and a fugitive would never be allowed to act recklessly under the company's nose.

Try it only if you have to.

"Brother," Fatty looked at Xu Yang, "don't you look very nervous?"

"Ah, I'm okay," Xu Yang turned back and pointed to his shuttle, "Dude, I have a shuttle to go."

"That won't work," Fatty said. "There are interceptors at the roadblocks, which will shoot through the shuttle."

"Yes," Xu Yang nodded casually, "I know."

"..." Fatty realized that Xu Yang had a way to break the barrier.

"Take me a ride," the fat man said hurriedly, "I have money, I will give you as much as you want! Please!"

"Don't worry," Xu Yang motioned to the other party to calm down, "My name is Xu Yang, how about you? What do you do exactly?"

"My name is Zuo Hongchen," Fatty said, "I have established an import and export trading company in Huicheng District, Jumen Commercial Club."

"So you're a business leader." Xu Yang found it interesting that although the other party was considered a capitalist, he was also the lowest class.

"Yes," Zuo Hongchen sighed, "Look, now he's just a little boss stuck in this place, who knows that he won't be able to go back to the company with just one day's effort."

"It's amazing to be able to run a company by yourself under the pressure of a giant enterprise." Xu Yang sighed, "And you're still so young."

This little chubby is about 24 or 25 years old, so he must be a rich second generation.

Zuo Hongchen didn't answer. He looked very uncomfortable. He bent down and looked at the ground for a long time, before straightening up after a long time.

"how?"

"My mouth is dry," Zuo Hongchen said in a hoarse voice, "To be honest, I haven't eaten anything for 10 hours."

"Say it earlier, brother, I still have some supplies here." Xu Yang pulled Zuo Hongchen towards the shuttle.

"What happened?" Farosa asked as soon as she saw Xu Yang approaching, "You two talked for a long time, is there anything that comes in handy?"

"The passage was closed by the Aizu Citizen Service Company," Xu Yang said, "and the reason is very simple, the people here are too poor to be rescued; and they have sealed the only passage, so you can easily fight mice, as long as the If people don’t rush over to cause trouble, they can calmly prepare for defense on the other side of the passage, and Huicheng District has basically solved the riot caused by rats, leaving us stuck here.”

"Then aren't we finished?" Farosa couldn't understand some of the details, but she could draw a conclusion.

"Let's wait and see." Xu Yang said calmly, "We can't be in a mess. Besides, if they really want to do something, I don't mind doing something out of the ordinary."

Zuo Hongchen leaned on the side of the shuttle wearily, and no longer had the strength to climb in. Katsuragi pulled him inside and dragged him inside.

He sat weakly in the seat, Xu Yang brought him a pack of potato chips and a bottle of Coke, he kept eating, Xu Yang gave him a box of cookies and a pack of biscuits, he ate more energetically , stuffed his mouth, then took a gulp of Coke and swallowed the food.

"He ate so happily." Farosa frowned.

"In this era, all kinds of things are abundant." Xu Yang also brought a bottle of Coke to Farosa.

"Wow..." Farosa took a sip and was very surprised, "What is this, so delicious?"

Everyone couldn't help but glanced at Farosa, and couldn't help but wonder if Farosa had lost some basic memories.

"There are many good things." Xu Yang said with a smile.

Suddenly, loud noises began to come from the connection.

"Citizens, it's been a long time!" The one who issued the "ticket" at the door was speaking.

"Tickets!" Zuo Hongchen didn't care too much, he put the food and drink on the seat, and rushed out with a full body of meat, almost falling over.

He ran towards the connection, and stopped quickly, because 20,000 people started to move together, and he felt that he couldn't squeeze into the crowd.

The man in the red suit held down the loudspeaker unit in his throat and spoke loudly.

"Due to the critical situation," he said, "citizens, after review, the company alliance has found the situation here ~www.novelbuddy.com~ determined that a B-5 disaster occurred in the Aizu underground city, and decided to close the Huicheng District. Now There is no way to enter Huicheng District from Height 26."

"What did you say?" Farosa asked.

"B-series disasters are biological disasters," Xu Yang explained, "From the invasion of species across regions, to the invasion of creatures from other planets, this kind of rat man scurrying is also a biological disaster, and then the number is the disaster level, the weakest is Level 1, the most frightening is level 12."

"B-5 level is not too serious, right?" Farosa figured it out.

"Yes, it is not too serious for the company alliance. After all, no matter how large the casualties are, they are only numbers." Xu Yang pointed out the problem.

I heard that Huicheng District was closed by the company alliance. The crowd was surging and shouting loudly. It took a long time for the man in the red suit to let everyone calm down.

"Don't worry! Citizens!" the man in the red suit said loudly, "We have a solution, please listen to my introduction!"

The people fell silent and silently listened to the speech of the man in the red suit.

"In order to give back to our customers for their long-term support for our company, we have launched a special security 'immediately service' service in midsummer. As long as users who purchase our company's 50-year security package on the spot can get the 'lifeline' package, not only can they go to The shelter facilities designated by our company in Huicheng District avoid risks, and also come with 5-year free security extended warranty service, 36-month membership of cloud video, 2-year free shuttle, vehicle maintenance service, and considerate personal charity worth 100,000 yuan. Body care, and most importantly, a special barrage qualification in the live broadcast room of Suzukawa Jiyi! Now our company's 50-year security package does not need 10 million, no 5 million, just 1 million, 1 million! Bind rewards on the spot and head to Huicheng District safely!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was boiling.
