Chapter 69: Murder in the Dark
There are many refugee camps in Coral City, but for many refugee camps in the southwest area of the city, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Gunshots rang out from time to time, and blood and fear filled the night.
No one knows who will die next.
Some people were brutally murdered simply for complaining softly.
The refugee camp marked in the mission is very large. Outside the camp are the ruins where Li Xiang was hanged, and the gallows is still there.
Su Xia waited for a while, and after all the soldiers left, he chose a hidden direction to enter.
He walked towards where the gunshots had occurred.
There were more than a dozen bodies lying there.
Someone knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, covering his mouth and sobbing softly: "Wu... Wuwu..."
Those brutal soldiers could be back at any time.
Faced with the corpses of their loved ones, the people here dared not even cry out loud. They could only curl up beside the corpses like lowly reptiles, letting the tears roll down from their red and swollen eyes.
The night is too long. If Su Xia doesn't do something, more and more people will die.
There are two requirements for this mission.
The first requirement is to stop the killing, which is not difficult.
Su Xia can make some noise to divert all the soldiers, and then create the illusion that he has escaped from the city, and everyone's attention will be focused outside the city.
The second requirement is to find out the truth about why a large number of refugees have not been properly resettled so far.
Su Xia noticed that among these corpses, one had a particularly tragic death.
The surface of the corpse was covered with scars. The left arm was broken into several pieces, the surface of the right arm was burnt black, the eyes were gouged out, and the ears were cut off. He had suffered inhumane torture before death.
[You found a special corpse, his identity does not seem ordinary]
This is all the task information given, and Su Xia has to figure out the rest on his own.
Su Xia squatted down and looked at the body carefully in the dim light.
Then, he whispered to the refugee next to him: "Who is this person?"
"Who are you?"
The refugee was extremely skinny, like a skeleton covered with withered human skin. He took two steps back, and seemed a little nervous, as if he was worried that Su Xia was an official of Coral City.
Su Xia took out a few banknotes and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm a writer. I want to record what happened tonight."
His fabricated identity as a writer is obviously not convincing.
But those few banknotes were very .
The refugee hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand that was like a dry branch, and carefully took the banknotes from Su Xia.
"This is Mr. Tang Zhong." He said, clutching the banknotes, "He is the agent chosen by our refugee camp. He has been helping us get food and shelter. He is a good man..."
"Why did the soldiers torture him?"
"They said... that Mr. Tang was colluding with the resistance organization and was related to that masked weirdo..."
"Understood."
Su Xia stood up slowly.
If this was the only reason, the soldiers could have just killed Tang Zhong directly without torturing him.
The reason he was tortured was probably because he had been helping the large number of refugees in the refugee camp to gain benefits, which angered the people above him.
Like Li Xiang, he was used as a "chicken" to scare the monkeys.
As long as he is tortured to death in front of everyone using extremely cruel means, it will deter others who want to fight for the interests of the refugees.
[You have obtained the mission "Burning Weeds·Tang Zhong's Last Wish"]
[Task has been automatically accepted]
[As the agent of this refugee camp, Tang Zhong had always had illusions about the city's administrators. He kept making requests to them, hoping that the promised food and reconstruction work could be implemented as soon as possible, but every request was rejected. He was disappointed again and again, until tonight...]
[Before he died, Tang Zhong finally figured it out]
[Humble prayers cannot provide a way out for so many refugees, but fists and bullets can]
[Current mission requirements: Shatter the illusions of the remaining refugees]
[Mission details: Mysterious disappearances often occur in refugee camps. Many people's husbands, children, wives, etc. have been kidnapped and become tools for the rich to have fun. Please go to the place where they are detained and take them home.]
[Task Reward: Depends on the completion of the task, and will be issued after completing all aspects of the current task]
It was another last wish. The mission location had been given, and it was not far from here, but the guard strength and other circumstances of that location had not been given.
Su Xia took a deep breath and looked up at the gloomy night sky.
After coming to this world, he received too many last wish missions.
Perhaps this world is too imperfect and everyone has regrets.
"Kidnapping the refugees here, this kind of thing cannot be done by only the rich. The city's managers must know about it..."
Su Xia walked towards the mission location with a gloomy face. What he was going to do next might cause the entire Coral City to fall into complete shock.
…
At this moment, the city center, office buildings.
The news was reported to the mayor's office in an orderly manner.
The human lord of Coral City is called Qi Lang, a level 3.0 psychic creature. He has decent strength, but his management level is questionable.
Under his governance, all management measures in Coral City were tilted towards the rich in the city.
He has always believed that as long as he has the support of the rich, he will not fall!
As for the problems exposed by these measures, they can be left to the secretaries to solve.
His secretary Chai An was born into a commoner family. He had experienced the hardships of the lower-class common people in Coral City. He was skilled in his work and could handle all low-level and upper-level affairs perfectly.
"Xiao Chai, how is Zhao Si doing?" Qi Lang asked as he sat in front of the window of a tall building. "Where is the masked man hiding? Has Zhao Si found any clues?"
"My Lord, there is not much progress at the moment."
Secretary Chai An, wearing glasses and holding a stack of documents, answered respectfully.
Qi Lang looked displeased and said, "Go and urge him again. With so much funding given to him every month, he has to show some results!"
"Sir, please stop pushing me."
"Why?"
"Zhao Si was too impatient and killed many people in the refugee area." Chai An was a little worried. "If this continues, it may arouse the resistance of the refugees."
"Those untouchables wouldn't dare!"
Qi Lang sneered, very confident.
But Chai An took half a step forward. This secretary, who was always very respectful, actually said something unusual: "But sir, the food promised to the refugees has not been resolved, and the reconstruction issue has been delayed for a long time. They still live in very shabby houses, and even basic survival has become a problem. We can't delay it any longer..."
"Shut up!"
Qi Lang was a little impatient. He turned his back to the secretary and waved his hand.
"These damned untouchables, they want a house now, what else will they want in the future? Have you ever thought about it?"
