Chapter 198: Her Majesty the Queen
"I need four new identities. A couple, about 45 years old, and two children, about 10 years old. This is their photo. They are in this slum..."
In the underground world, in the interconnected reinforced concrete pipes, a rugged black motorcycle roars like a galloping black horse.
Su Xia was lying on the back of the car, wearing black goggles, her hair blown backwards.
On his mobile phone, he found Yi Yi's contact information and sent him a message.
It was almost one in the morning.
In the Midnight Tavern, Yi Yi, who was mixing drinks, stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands on his clothes, and clicked on the message with confusion.
"What is Mask doing here, so bored that he cares about the lives of the slum people?"
He didn't think too much about it and replied, "Okay, I'll be there now, wait a moment."
For Yi Yi, creating four new identities was a very simple matter.
There are many talented people in the Zero Point Tavern who can do this kind of thing, but it would be safest for him to do it himself, after all, it was the masked man's request.
"What a pity! We were so close to succeeding in making it."
Yi Yi put the shaker aside with a look of regret, opened the small wooden door, left the bar, and went back to change his clothes.
He also changed into black clothes that were convenient for nighttime movement, put on a black mask for concealing his presence, and a black baseball cap, leaving only a pair of slightly red eyes exposed, and stood in front of the mirror to look at himself.
"Yeah, still so handsome."
The man in the mirror looked like a young man in his twenties.
He said hello to his men and then hurried out.
The basement level of the pub was quiet.
Some members were resting, while others were carrying out tasks under the cover of darkness. There were only a dozen or so people scattered in the hall choosing new tasks.
Not long after Yi Yi left, a tall woman with wheat-colored skin came to the bar. With slender fingers, she picked up the shaker as if no one was around and poured herself a glass.
She half leaned on the bar, picked up the wine glass, sniffed it carefully, pursed her red lips, and shook her head gently: "Lemon is added again, boring."
Then she raised her head, used her slender swan neck to drink the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Putting down the wine glass, she stretched out her long legs and walked towards the elevator in the depths. She took out a special identity card, passed the authority check, went all the way down, changed elevators seven times in a row, and finally reached the bottom.
"bite--"
The elevator door slowly opened, revealing a corridor covered with soft red carpet and with valuable paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor.
Walking through the corridor and arriving at the safe house, she reached out and picked up the top-secret document on the coffee table in the living room.
The documents were still as they were when she left.
No one has touched it, and no one has answered the questions on the last page.
"Why hasn't that humanoid creature named Li Defu come in the past few days? Is he in trouble?"
She lay on the soft leather sofa, subconsciously placed her long legs on the coffee table, and pinched her delicate chin, thinking about something.
Zero Point Tavern follows the principle of equal exchange.
The first two times, Su Xia wrote the answers at the back of the materials, so he was qualified to get more materials.
This new information has been on the coffee table for several days, but Su Xia has been very busy recently. He has to deal with the mercenaries in the wilderness, ambush An Lan, and now he is also busy dealing with matters in the slums. Even with a clone, he is almost suffocated by the work.
There was no way. His two bodies could only share strength. If one became stronger, the other would become weaker. They could not face a strong enemy at the same time.
A voice suddenly rang out from the dark corner of the living room: "My Queen, that human is being wanted by the mechanical race, and may need to stay out of the spotlight for a few days."
"No, he's not the type to be afraid of things."
The woman dropped the documents and laid down on the sofa, looking up and saying, "He's probably doing something big somewhere, maybe killing someone."
…
“Crack—”
Su Xia's eyes were cold as he swung his scimitar. Blood splattered everywhere, and he took away a fresh head with one blow.
He returned to the Black Tiger Gang's territory and ran into a dozen members from other gangs.
These guys were planning to take over the Black Tiger Gang's assets. They belonged to several different gangs and were all maniacs with blood on their hands.
Now that I'm here, it would be unreasonable not to leave my head behind.
In this way, Su Xia obtained more than ten guns.
Little by little, it adds up to a lot.
After the last mercenary town massacre, the remaining mercenary towns either changed locations or simply disbanded, and it became difficult to encounter such a rich harvest again.
"The quality of the guns here is too poor. They save labor and materials and are low cost." Su Xia picked up a gun and checked it. "It may jam or misfire at any time. It cannot be used by official members of the North Wind Organization... It can only be used by players. Anyway, they can die repeatedly."
Su Xia test-fired a few rounds and then threw the gun back into the storage space.
On the ground not far away, Wu Xiaolong's health bar had already returned to zero, his body gradually grew cold, and his clothes were stuck to the solidified blood on the ground.
Su Xia walked over, picked up his body, put it on the back seat of the motorcycle, and tied it up with a few ropes to make sure it would not fall.
After doing all this, he started his motorcycle and hit the road again, returning to the market.
In the market, Ma Zhu stood at the door of the store, looking anxiously.
"Why hasn't the boss come back yet? Did something happen?"
"Afu from the Black Tiger Gang is a tough guy," the shop owner said. "Your boss must be in danger after not coming back for so long. You should make preparations and leave this area."
"I'll wait a little longer."
Ma Zhu was also afraid that the Black Tiger Gang would come to seek revenge on him, but he gritted his teeth and decided to wait a little longer.
In the repair shop diagonally opposite, Wu Jian and Xu Lian and his wife were also waiting.
Both children were feeling sleepy. They squatted in the corner, yawning, and their eyelids were fighting each other.
After a while, the roar of the motorcycle finally sounded again in the dark passage ahead.
“Buzz——”
A small bright spot appeared at the end of the passage, and then gradually grew larger and became dazzling.
When she saw the tied body on the back seat of the motorcycle, the woman Xu Lian trembled, swayed, leaned fragilely against the door, and tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Wu Jian opened his mouth with difficulty, his cracked lips trembling, as if he wanted to call out Wu Xiaolong's name, his weathered face was full of sorrow and sadness.
Losing a child in middle age is a great pain in life.
The past nineteen years have been like movie clips that keep flashing and shattering, turning into irretrievable memories, gradually being swallowed up by the river of time.
No matter how unfilial Wu Xiaolong was, the couple could only remember his kindness and the days when he was a young and energetic man.
“He’s very brave.”
Su Xia decided to tell a lie.
"On the way there, he said that he had lived like a useless person for the first half of his life, and that he would never be like that again. He wanted to honor you well, but... we were ambushed by the Black Tiger Gang."
"Until the last moment of his life, he was still fighting..."
“…”
Su Xia sat at the door of the repair shop and spoke a lot, which was rare for her, trying her best to comfort the kind couple.
The two children were fine; they were young and had no feelings for their brother, so they behaved normally.
Across the street, Ma Zhu finally felt relieved. He pointed at Su Xia with his thumb and said, "I told you my big brother is awesome. He wiped out an entire gang all by himself!"
"Yeah, it's really cool!"
The shop owner replaced his cup of tea with hot water. Since there was no business, he sat at the door and chatted with him.
The Black Tiger Gang is gone just like that. For the next period of time, this area will be uncontrolled and will fall into a brief period of chaos.
In the end, there are only two outcomes: either a new gang is born in this area, or this area is divided up and annexed by other gangs.
Half an hour later, Yi Yi came on his bike.
As the owner of the Coral City branch of the Zero Point Tavern, he has been running business in this city for many years and is familiar with every corner and is well versed in this underground world.
"Are these the four people?"
Yi Yi got out of the car, pulled off his mask, and took a sip of wine.
This guy is also a guy who likes to drink and drive.
Su Xia stood up from the door, patted the dust off his pants, nodded and said, "Well, for now, it's these four people."
"temporary?"
“There may be hundreds more in the future.”
“It’s not a big problem.”
Yi Yi shrugged and agreed immediately.
Not to mention a hundred people, even a thousand people could be taken away from here and helped them integrate into the entire city quietly.
Seeing him so relaxed, Su Xia didn't ask any more questions and said, "I owe you a favor. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me directly."
Yi Yi said, "Don't talk about it later. I have something to do right now. Let's see if you are interested."
"What's up?"
"Murder."
"Kill who?"
"Wang Teng."
Yi Yi gave a name that Su Xia was very familiar with.
The world is so small. When your strength reaches a certain level, you will find that there are people with connections all over the world.
Su Xia smiled faintly: "You think highly of me. That guy is almost level 5."
"I believe you. I have never been able to see through your true strength, just as I have never been able to see through Wang Teng's strength."
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
"He killed one of my junior sisters." Yi Yi said calmly, "A very beautiful junior sister, she died tragically."
Now, Wang Teng is challenging the masked monster to a duel in the wilderness, and every day he spreads the news of the duel to surrounding cities through radio stations.
Coral City can also build momentum for Wang Teng and create an atmosphere that the masked man is bound to fail.
Based on Yi Yi's understanding of Su Xia, he knew that Su Xia would definitely go to fight, so he made this request at the right time.
"When the time comes, I can block the other possible Level 4 creatures for you, so you can fight him with peace of mind." Yi Yi said, "I only want his head, and all his remaining wealth will belong to you."
"Okay, deal!"
The two did not sign any task contract, but simply reached a verbal agreement.
Next is Yi Yi’s matter. He will make sure that Wu Jian and others’ matters are handled safely.
Ma Zhu was worried that he would be left behind, so he ran over from the noodle shop, looked at Su Xia eagerly, and asked, "Sir, what should I do?"
"Where did you live before?"
"Next to the garbage dump, I built a small shed with plastic sheeting."
"Forget it, let's go with them."
To be on the safe side, Su Xia asked Yi Yi to take this guy away as well.
