The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1233 - 765: Kowloon Walled City

As a leader, the most important things are personnel appointments and resource allocation.

And as the core of a group, how to balance things fairly is also a significant issue.

Liu Zheng is now facing such a problem.

There is only one spot for the "audience," but there are two people who might need it.

The Fisherman and Doctor Nile.

In terms of relationships, Doctor Nile is almost the best person to him other than Niu Ma; he has participated in almost all major operations and has never been stingy with money or goods. You could say he’s like a father.

In terms of importance, the sewer is both a refuge and a resource point. Every time there’s danger, he sends people to the sewer, and the good stuff he’s obtained from there is countless.

The Fisherman also has nothing to complain about Liu Zheng; never mind the money and goods, he even chopped off his finger for him last time when going abroad.

It’s a tough decision because both are equally important, and Liu Zheng really doesn’t know who to inform first.

If this matter isn’t handled properly, it could very well be the beginning of a small group’s split.

"Forget it, I’ll put this on hold for now."

He sighed as he sat in the driver’s seat.

Anyway, whether it’s the Sea Girl or Sasha, there’s no immediate risk.

If a situation arises where this spot must be used, then the problem will resolve itself.

Avoidance is shameful, but it works.

Liu Zheng opened the map and quickly found the location of the Kowloon Walled City.

"It’s the Old City District again."

Old City District, Walled City, no house numbers — these factors combined spell trouble.

"I better find a local tyrant to ask."

He operated the vehicle with one hand and took out his phone with the other.

He calculated and realized that he now knows quite a few local tyrants in the Old City District.

The Queen of the Pink Kingdom, the Dark Elf’s Yaksha, Morrison Primary School’s Luo Ping, and the newly acquainted Yan Xu of the Dwarf Clan.

Normally, consulting for intelligence would mean finding Detective Luo Ping, but unfortunately, he’s currently undercover in a hospital and out of contact, and Liu Zheng promised not to reach out proactively.

After some thought, Liu Zheng decided to call the Queen first.

After all, taverns and brothels have always been places where various kinds of people gather and where information circulates.

"What’s up?"

The Queen answered the phone after a few seconds, and the sound of physical contact was faintly audible.

"What are you up to?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"Park Wan isn’t paying, so I’m preparing to take some parts from him to pay off the debt."

The Queen replied.

"Hmm... reasonable. I need to ask you about a place."

"Go ahead."

The Queen seemed to have moved away a bit, as the screams had weakened.

Of course, it could also be that the unlucky guy couldn’t scream anymore.

"Do you know the Kowloon Walled City?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I do. It’s a gathering place for the less reputable."

The Queen said.

"Hmm..."

He held back from making a comment.

It seems the Queen herself falls within the category of the less reputable (including shamans, wandering performers, minor deities, night watchmen, barbers, pipers, actors, thieves, candy sellers, etc.).

"The less reputable is their own label; I’ve never agreed with it."

The Queen seemed to guess what he was thinking.

"Oh. Please continue."

Liu Zheng didn’t dwell on the issue.

"The Kowloon Walled City was initially built by a group of Zhen Dan immigrants. Later, other humans and races moved in, but it’s still primarily Zhen Dan immigrants."

"Most of the residents inside are fourth-class citizens, and there are many non-citizens too, with third-class citizens being quite rare."

The Queen continued.

"What do they rely on to make a living?"

"Since it’s a mix of various professions, they do all sorts of things, but primarily, they focus on solicitation, gambling, and catering."

The Queen said.

"It sounds rather legitimate."

Liu Zheng said.

In the Metropolis, solicitation and gambling are less illegal than spitting on the ground.

"Nonsense, there are at least tens of thousands of people in the Kowloon Walled City. If they all engaged in illegal activities, the City Hall would have cleaned them out long ago."

"But there are definitely illegal activities, and I know for a fact there are quite a few illegal clinics in there."

The Queen said.

The Metropolis is peculiar in this regard. Technical Institutes and casinos aren’t heavily regulated, but illegal clinics are cracked down on quite strictly.

There are plenty of theories, but a common one is that illegal clinics often become hotbeds for Deviant believers and mad Spellcasters to cause trouble.

"That’s not my concern. I’m looking for someone in there named Fat Biao. Do you know him?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don’t. I’ve only had a few dealings with the Kowloon Walled City, and they weren’t pleasant."

The Queen said.

"Oh? Why’s that?"

"I harbored people who escaped from there."

The Queen succinctly said.

"Hmm, well done."

He praised.

Despite the Queen’s nasty temperament and her numerous prejudices against males, at least she’s genuinely willing to protect the oppressed females.

"There’s no need for you to say that, man."

The Queen coldly replied.

"I’m just saying, if you’ve got the guts, hit me."

Liu Zheng provocatively said.

"Get lost."

The veins on the Queen’s forehead throbbed as she was about to hang up.

"Don’t be so hasty. Didn’t you harbor people from the Kowloon Walled City? Help me ask them for information."

He said in a roguish tone.

"Zhi Zi, go call Meizhen over."

The Queen said to Zhi Zi on the side.

After a while, an unfamiliar woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Liu. The Queen said you have something to ask me."

The woman’s voice sounded a bit nervous.

"Meizhen, is it? It’s okay, don’t be nervous. Just answer what you know, and if you don’t know, just say so."

Liu Zhengan reassured.
