Chapter 68: Action Begins
Su Xia turned on her cell phone and connected to the Internet.
The various news apps on his phone instantly pushed more than ten messages to him.
Most of the information is related to the "masked man".
This action, which took place in public, really slapped the face of the Mechanical Clan, so much so that all forces in the city were condemning the Zero Point Tavern.
"Will that despicable killer continue to strike?"
On the evening news, the host used a series of adjectives such as "despicable", "despicable" and "shameful" to describe Su Xia.
In his description, Su Xia can be compared with all the famous villains in history.
The pub still did not respond and treated the matter coldly.
In the news, the host's tone was extremely tough.
"The city lord is very angry, and the consequences are quite serious!"
"The city's defense force has been increased several times. As long as that masked man shows up, he will be killed without a burial place..."
“…”
Many people know that there is another reason why Coral City is so angry this time -
Wu Zhonggui is a human traitor!
The more comfortable such traitors live, the easier it is for the hard-pressed resistance groups in the wilderness to waver.
Coral City wanted to use them as propaganda targets, otherwise it would not have allowed Wu Zhonggui to show up at the hanging event in the evening.
But Su Xia's slap was so loud that it indirectly told everyone that surrendering would not necessarily lead to a comfortable life, and there would still be the risk of disability or even death.
At the operating table next to him, Hong Bafu was also watching the news.
He moved his stool, moved closer to Su Xia, and whispered, "Brother Su, I just saw a piece of gossip. Someone said that the masked man was saved by Commander Beifeng in his early years."
"Is that so? No wonder he took the initiative."
Su Xia looked suddenly enlightened and said that this news made sense.
If I'm not mistaken, this gossip was released by the tavern to further distinguish the relationship between "individual members" and the "organization as a whole."
The Zero Point Tavern is just an organization that issues missions. As long as the bounty is reasonable, any bounty mission from either the mechanical or human race will be accepted by the tavern. Many of the killers in the tavern are also free agents.
A very few members, when there was no bounty mission, took action out of personal emotion...
The pub can't do anything about this kind of thing.
"Now everyone is speculating about the whereabouts of the masked man." Hong Bafu said mysteriously, "At the Zero Point Tavern, a killer revealed that the masked man did not go back... Many people think that he has left the city to avoid being searched, and a few people think that he is hiding in the city. The more dangerous the place, the safer it is."
The incident became such a big deal that everyone knew about it.
Even a few waiters from the restaurant opposite were leaning against the door talking about it.
Su Xia shrugged and said, "Everyone thinks that the masked man dare not do anything again. If I were him, I would take this opportunity to strike back and slap the mechanical people in the face again."
"It's too dangerous to take action now." Lan Bafu also came over. "The news said that the defense department has dispatched many experts, even level 3 psychic creatures have taken action."
"Well, level 3 creatures are indeed dangerous..."
Su Xia looked out the window, her mind slightly moved.
He has recovered to level 3.3 psychic power and should be fully recovered tomorrow.
At this time, the old man sitting in the back knocked on the counter and said in a calm tone: "Why are you all playing with your phones? Are you still doing business? When will you pay me back the money you owe me?"
"Teacher, we were wrong!"
The three of them immediately put down their phones and continued their work of refining medicine.
The success rate of Su Xia's second-level potion is still not high, and he is currently losing more and more money the more he refines it. He is too lazy to calculate how much money he owes.
The night outside the window is dark, and the moonlight is not as bright as in the wilderness.
Every once in a while, a team of patrol officers would hurry by, and occasionally a soldier would come in to ask if anyone had seen any suspicious persons.
Su Xia noticed that a lot of mechanical soldiers from Coral City were also dispatched.
These mechanical soldiers are directly under the city lord, and their appearance means that the city lord is indeed angry.
Time passed quickly and before I knew it it was already 9:30 in the evening.
Dad stood up from behind the counter, looking a little annoyed, picked up his coffee cup and said, "Close the shop, and go to bed early tonight. Those soldiers running around are making so much noise that Dad has no mood to do business!"
"yes!"
Hong Bafu jumped up from his seat, closed the window and tidied up his workbench.
Lan Bafu began to sort out the remaining materials that had not been used today.
Su Xia began to clean up the discarded garbage.
More than ten minutes later, the pharmacy closed and the lights on the first floor went out.
The four masters and apprentices washed up and soon returned to their rooms, ending a day's business.
Su Xia lay on the bed, not sleeping, listening quietly to the noises in the rooms to the left and right.
Soon, the sound came out.
"Huh...ZZzz..."
The two brothers fell asleep.
Su Xia took out a red camouflage crystal, pressed it on her forehead, and began to modify her appearance and even her figure.
He changed himself to have a sallow complexion and a skinny body, looking like a refugee who had been hungry for a long time.
Then he climbed out the window and walked quickly towards the mission location.
Along the way, he tried to avoid the main roads, walking in dark alleys and avoiding the patrolling soldiers.
More than forty minutes later, Su Xia arrived at the mission location.
"Refugee camp..."
After the war, half of Coral City was in ruins.
However, the reconstruction work has been delayed, and even the most basic cleanup has not been done. The exposed and twisted steel bars on the ruins have long been covered with rust, and the gaps between the concrete slabs and broken bricks have been filled with weeds.
At first, the refugees wanted to clear the ruins and rebuild their homes by themselves.
But it was soon stopped forcibly.
At that time, the city's administrators promised to provide funds and supplies to help all refugees rebuild their homes in a more orderly manner.
This promise has been delayed until today.
What started as a temporary refugee camp seems to have become permanent.
The poor people lived in houses built with materials picked up from the ruins, such as iron sheets, rags, and waste bricks. They had no jobs and lacked food. They wanted to reclaim the land in the suburbs outside the city, but those lands were held by the rich.
The wealthy area in the city center has been rebuilt in the past few years. The streets and houses there are clean and tidy, without any trace of war.
In this way, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.
Looking around, countless low and dilapidated refugee houses are connected together under the night sky, like slums from the old times.
"boom!"
Before Su Xia got close, he heard a gunshot.
Someone was executed for "knowingly not reporting" and concealing information about the masked man.
Those human soldiers held their guns with cold faces, like emotionless executioners.
Many of them were poor people who could not get enough food before they became soldiers. Now that they have picked up guns, they turn around and point the guns at other poor people.
