Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 288 A Kind of Irony
After leaving the underground bar, Li Jiu and others did not stop for a moment and immediately got on the hovercraft and drove out of the sleepless street.
Afterwards, Li Jiu asked Captain William to return to the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group base on his own and monitor Claude's actions according to his orders. He himself took the Clouded Leopard and drove to the eastern suburbs of the Fifth District with Brother Doug.
Everyone was silent along the way, still immersed in the thrilling experience in the underground bar.
Especially Li Jiu, after witnessing the powerful strength of the bandit boss, his mind was in turmoil.
"I didn't expect that among the people I know, there is actually such a powerful guy..." Li Jiu thought to himself while driving, still obsessed with the identity of the bandit boss.
The other party finally let him go, which made Li Jiu certain that he and that guy must have met before, and that the other party should also know him, and maybe they even have a pretty good relationship...
"Young Master? Which young master could it be... Could it be Ouyang Jie..." When leaving the underground bar, the bandit's words became Li Jiu's only clue, so he focused on the word "young master" and began to ponder over it.
Li Jiu knew very well that among the people he knew, the only ones who could be called Young Master were Captain William and Ouyang Jie, the eldest son of the War Bar. However, Captain William could definitely be ruled out, so Ouyang Jie was the only one left...
Considering that the War Bar was also in the bar business, it was very likely that there was a conflict of interest with the owner of the underground bar. So it was reasonable for Ouyang Jie to bring people to destroy the place. Moreover, with the huge strength of the War Bar, it would not be a problem to dispatch one or two hundred armed personnel.
But...is this guy Ouyang Jie really that awesome?
Li Jiu had never fought with him before, so he couldn't be sure how strong he was...
However, since Ouyang Jie had been an instructor in the alliance's ace special operations battalion, the Flying Tigers, and his military rank was ridiculously high, it seemed that... maybe he really had the ability...
At the same time, Doug and others were recalling their experiences not long ago.
Just like that, not long after, the four of them arrived at the residence of the Doug brothers in the civilian area in the eastern suburbs.
"Doug, Quinn, go up and pack your things, then follow me." The brand new white hovercraft was parked under the rental building. Li Jiu sat in the car and said to Doug and his brother outside the window.
In the bar, Li Jiu had already promised to find a decent place for Brother Doug to live. In addition, after taking in Clouded Leopard, he would also be responsible for finding him a place to stay. So now was a good opportunity to take advantage of this outing to get this done.
"Okay, Brother Nine." Brother Doug nodded excitedly, and then quickly walked into the rental building.
"Nine Brother..." The clouded leopard in the passenger seat, who was only wearing competition shorts, looked moved, and then asked curiously: "Sir, so your name is Nine Brother..."
"Haha, my name is Li Jiu, you can also call me Brother Nine like the other two brothers." Li Jiu said with a calm smile. Judging from Yunbao's age, he seemed to be only about 20 years old, so it wouldn't be considered taking advantage of him to call him Brother Yishen.
"Well, OK, Brother Jiu." Yunbao smiled and nodded in response. He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to Li Jiusu with a serious look: "Brother Jiu, you saved me twice today. From now on, my life belongs to you!"
"Fuck... what are you talking about? Is it necessary to be so serious?" Li Jiu sighed helplessly and cursed with a smile. Then he shook his head and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be like Doug and the others, follow me, and Brother Jiu will not treat you unfairly."
"Well... okay then, Brother Nine." Yunbao pondered for a moment and nodded in response.
"Well, that's right." Li Jiu patted Yunbao's shoulder with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "So your real name is Yang Feng, what a nice name."
"Haha, it's indeed a good name, because it was given to me by my parents. Unfortunately, they are no longer with us..." Clouded Leopard smiled bitterly, with a trace of loneliness flashing across his face.
"Oh? Can you tell me about your situation?" Li Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, feeling that Yunbao seemed to be a man with a story.
"Yeah." Yunbao nodded, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes. After a moment, he said with a heavy voice: "I was born in a slum and lived under the management of the gods... Later, the war broke out. It was very difficult to find a job for a while. In order to make a living, I occasionally participated in some street gambling. I just wanted to earn some living expenses... But who knew that after the boxing match was over, I met the bar owner Heiyi... He saw that I was quite good at it, so he wanted to recruit me to fight for him and made me a very tempting promise... But later... Later I found out that I was deceived, and I was not the only one who was deceived..."
Having said that, Yunbao clenched his fists tightly, and it was obvious that he hated the bar owner in black clothes to the core!
Li Jiu couldn't help but frowned , but he didn't interrupt Yunbao and continued listening.
"At that time, there were more than a hundred people in my group who were deceived by the men in black, and most of them were Chinese... That beast divided us into groups of thirty and locked us up together for training. In the end, only one person could get out alive..." Yunbao's voice sounded a little excited, and his calloused fists could not help but tremble slightly.
"Another Chinese..." Li Jiu frowned, feeling indescribably annoyed.
Damn it, why do I feel like the entire alliance is against the Chinese?
"By the way, Yunbao, you just said that you were born in a slum?" After thinking for a moment, Li Jiu suddenly asked curiously. He knew that the word "slum" did not exist in the current alliance, there was only the term "civilian area". After all, the alliance claimed to build a society where all human beings were equal. If there were slums, it would simply be a slap in the face of the alliance government...
"Yeah, that's right, what's wrong?" Clouded Leopard asked puzzled.
"Do slums also exist under the control of the gods? Isn't it said that before they awaken their independent consciousness, they are very fair to all human beings?" Li Jiu asked doubtfully.
"Haha, listening to their nonsense, when has there ever been true fairness in this world?" Clouded Leopard sneered and shook his head indifferently, "Yes, the laws made by the gods and the various operating rules of society are indeed very fair, but you have to know that the main body of this society is still human beings after all, and where there are humans, there will be differences. This leads to the fact that the gods ultimately made one order, while humans secretly followed another order."
"Haha, speaking of which, it's really ironic...Humans tried their best to create a machine to establish social order, but in the end, they were unwilling to accept the order established by this machine. In the end, this machine even wanted to destroy all mankind..." Clouded Leopard continued to sigh, as if in his opinion, humans' previous creation of super-intelligent gods was a wrong decision.
