Chapter 1724 Separation of the Heroes, Scavengers Disaster

The division of forces in the wasteland of New York is very clear.

Part of it is the remaining forces in New York. Those blacks, Italians, Russians, and Mexicans who have settled in New York for decades or even hundreds of years are themselves a traditional part of the black and evil forces in New York. Even if they were forced to migrate for a period of time because of the previous disaster, they It is also impossible to leave your lair for too long.

There may be a little bit of inseparable elements in this, but it is more because, apart from the existence of this shelter, I am afraid that there is really no place for these outlaws in the United States today.

After all, there are very few examples of being able to clean up one's illegal industries one by one like Jin Bin, and finally transform into a legal businessman. The vast majority of underworld organizations have neither such capital nor such means. They can only crawl and roll in such a quagmire for the rest of their lives until their bones are buried in it.

And it is precisely because of this reason that they became difficult in the later American society.

American society under the control of all omnics has no room for them to continue to do evil. As long as they dare to show a little tendency to break the law, those powerful omnic robots will be able to teach them what it will be like to break the law and discipline. end.

And the turmoil in the US economy has also made them less and less source of money. After all, all the enjoyment that illegal behavior can provide is less necessary than the eating and drinking necessary for life. Which is more important, filling your stomach so it doesn't gurgle or sucking up some laundry detergent? Except for idiots and addicts, I am afraid there will be no second answer.

Forced by life, these traditional black forces immediately returned to their homeland after learning that New York had opened its arms to them again. Although today's New York is no longer glamorous, from the unattainable and famous lady in the past to a street girl on the street, but no matter what, this is still their familiar formula and familiar taste.

In the same way,

Not only them, but also those underworld forces who couldn't get along in other places followed them back to the sinful city of New York. These people constitute another part of the power of the city of vice. Although it is said that they have a little local advantage with those local tyrants in New York. But the stronger capital and more complicated personnel composition put them in a position where they won't lose the slightest advantage in the sin city's turf war.

In addition, there is another part, which is a business alliance secretly formed by various technology companies and those special organizations. Those who dare not openly build a branch here can only occupy a place here through other names such as leather bag companies. And in order not to become a cash machine for those black forces, holding a group for warmth has become an inevitable choice for them.

Of course, unlike these black forces who claim to be the masters of the evil city and the defenders of order, their main purpose of existing in this city is to be able to obtain first-hand technological information from aliens nearby. In other words, they can be regarded as the investors of Sin City. So as long as it is not the kind of extremely arrogant lunatic, there are really few black forces who dare to provoke their troubles.

And under these three major forces, the rest of Sin City is the territory of those scavengers.

These scavengers or huddle together in groups to keep warm and survive in the cracks. Or rely on your own ability to fight alone. Some do it for the riches, while others do it for the lawless environment. After all, with so many people in this world, it is impossible for everyone to be a supporter of order. Some people are born to like the chaos of the world, like to see the fire burning in the world. For these people, apart from India, probably only New York can provide them with such an environment.

India is in hell mode, and even the most confident people may not have much confidence that they can get anything from the mouth of a prehistoric monster like Hydra.

But New York is different. This place is like a novice village. As long as they don't have bad eyesight and provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, anyone with a little bit of ability can live a good life here.

Don't expect these people who just enjoy chaos to be so law-abiding in such a ghost place, in fact, they have never been such people. And even with the principle of being picky and soft, it is far easier to pick one or two such guys than to provoke those organized people.

This is like a traditional role-playing game. As a producer, Medusa will of course choose the easiest one for Little Shane as the beginning of his real adventure. So she settled on this...

Downtown Manhattan. Of course, it should be called Manhattan Sea now. A small team called Explorers is doing deep sea salvage operations.

They can be regarded as one of the scavengers, but they are somewhat different from those scavengers. Because the vast majority of them can be regarded as scientific researchers, the depressed type.

Scientific research is a relatively fair place, but it is not absolutely fair. Because some talented people can show their strengths in this field, and are sought after by countless capitalists waving money. And some people can only hold self-righteous genius ideas and be thrown into the garbage dump like garbage.

This is true for capital. After all, a paper published by a professor of your top university and a paper published by a civil science scholar are definitely not the same. Take the most attractive fields of chemistry and physics as an example. The former can use equipment costing millions and tens of millions to make sufficient experimental verifications for yourself, and you only rely on a mouth and an idea for granted. Of course, this is not the case. one level.

But for these unsatisfactory scientific researchers, things don't work out that way. It's not my problem, it's your problem that you can't see such a talented person and such a genius idea. If you just turn a blind eye to my research like this, then after that, I will make a fortune, but don't blame me for slapping you in the face with reality.

As the saying goes, people fight for one breath, and Buddhas fight for one stick of incense. What they do is often a symptom of paranoia. For their own research, they can almost desperate. And spending all their savings, hiring a ship, and finding a shortcut in a dangerous place like the Manhattan waters became their greatest hope at the moment.

Some of them study molecular dynamics, some study compound materials, and several study biotechnology and bacteria. For them, if there is something that can break their current situation and make them unanimously valued by the capital world, then the reverse proof from alien technology is the best way.

After all, compared with those untested theories demonstrated by academic leaders in the laboratory. The fully formed products of aliens are obviously more convincing. And as long as you can relate your own theory to them, then I believe that these profit-seeking vampires will shamelessly come forward and praise their stinky feet.

Their ideas are good and excellent. But I have to say that their luck is also good. Although it is a little far away from their biggest dream, to find the sunken alien main ship, but through the wreckage of a small spaceship they found, they already have a clue to explore.

This is opportunity and wealth. However, not everyone wants this rare opportunity to fall into the hands of a group of people like them.

Not to mention whether those who suppressed them would think so, even their colleagues, those scavengers would not be willing to see such a large amount of wealth fall into their hands.

For these scavengers, it is not unacceptable to use all means. Therefore, just as they learned about what the explorer team had gained, some of them had already started to take action.

On the explorer's boat, a scavenger who has been wandering in the chaotic world all year round is holding a gun and pointing it at the head of a little boy.

This little boy is not a scientific researcher in the explorer team, but his father is, and is still the captain of the team, the real core figure. It may sound absurd to bring such a young boy into such a chaotic place, but in reality, these people don't have much choice.

After he mortgaged his house, he couldn't send his child to an orphanage, so let's start this big adventure. Unless it is a last resort, no father will make such a choice. So naturally, he chose another solution, which was to take his children with him.

It's better to be on your own boat than to be a fatherless orphan in an orphanage. He thought so at the beginning, but now, he regrets it immensely, regretting that he didn't do it in the first place. Because if he had done this at the beginning, his son would never fall into the hands of others and become the bargaining chip for this damn bastard to threaten him.

"Listen, Mr. Luthor. I don't think you have any more choice now. Hand over what you got from the spaceship, and the results of your research. As long as you hand over these things, I promise, this The cute little guy will not be hurt in any way. Of course, if you don’t cooperate with me, then I’m sorry. The gun in my hand and I will not show mercy to him just because he is a child. Although It sounds a bit cruel, killing his child in front of a father or something. But, it can't be all my fault, right..."

The person who spoke was a bald man with a height of more than two meters and a muscular body. He is a well-known scavenger in Vice City. He calls himself Reaper, but everyone nicknames him Jaws.

Of course, the nickname I set myself is not as loud as someone else's nickname. And the reason why everyone gave him such a nickname is entirely because of his shark-like keen sense of smell and cruel disposition.

This keen sense of smell is not his keen perception of the treasures hidden under this wasteland, but that he can always get news of those scavengers who have unexpected gains in the shortest time.

Just like an unscrupulous great white shark, he can always appear in front of these people who have just received surprises at the most unexpected time and place, and then use his bloody mouth and cruel behavior to To shock them as much as this surprise.

It's not the first time that black people eat black things happened to him. And it is precisely because of his notoriety that everyone who knows him can't help but be wary of him the first time they see him. In this regard, Winston Luthor, the captain of the explorer team, is no exception.

As one of the few people in this small scientific research team who can deal with these gray people outside, he is very clear about the consistent style of the great white shark. This made him start bargaining with him while his heart sank to the bottom.

"Wait, wait. Sir, put down your gun first, we have something to talk about. As long as you are willing to sit down and talk, let my son go. There is nothing difficult to talk about between us. "

His idea is very simple, that is procrastination. It is absolutely impossible to directly agree to the conditions of Great White Shark and hand over the harvest of so many years of hard work. Let's not talk about whether after he did this, he would come to destroy the corpse and wipe out all the existences that threatened him. Even if he won't do this, the colleagues behind him will never allow him to use their achievements to pay the ransom.

Although he is the captain in name in the explorer team, this kind of captain is only in daily management. Even he can't intervene in research issues that involve everyone's vital interests. And if he asked these colleagues to hand over their achievements because of his son's safety, then the most likely result would be that their originally harmonious team would immediately fall into disintegration.

This is not what he wants to see, so he can only choose to give up this seemingly attractive approach. And choosing to delay, this can only be regarded as his helpless move. Because he is actually not sure whether he will get a good result if he procrastinates.

The procrastination was not because he hoped to persuade the Great White Shark to lay down his butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately by his own words. He doesn't have such a three-inch tongue yet, and at the same time, he doesn't think the notorious great white shark will be a person who is willing to lay down his butcher knife.

The reason why he chose to procrastinate was because after he discovered this scary guy, he had already secretly notified the previous family he had contacted.

You must know that these scientific researchers want to promote their research results to the public. In the final analysis, they still need the intervention of those capitalists to have the possibility of realizing this hope. Prior to this, their research was not favored because their theory was untenable. However, when they were lucky enough to find the wreckage of alien technology and use alien technology to reverse their theory, their research became marketable.

If there is a market, there will naturally be people looking after it, especially in a special place like Sin City. Therefore, when their results improved slightly, people with backgrounds in big companies came to them on their own initiative.

It is impossible for the team of explorers who have bet almost all of them to start this adventure to refuse the olive branch offered by these capitals. Not to mention that their own purpose is to achieve fame, just to say that their follow-up research must be supported by these capitals.

And after going through several special negotiations, Winston Luthor has already selected the one with the highest bid as his partner.

The strength of this partner is outstanding, there is no doubt about it. And it is precisely because of their extremely strong strength that he hopes that they will help him as soon as possible after receiving such a distress signal.

After all, such behavior of black eating black also hurts their interests, doesn't it. If everyone dared to annex their wealth like a guy like Great White Shark, who would dare to cooperate with them in the future?

That's what he murmured in his heart. And it was precisely because of such a psychological support that he could muster up the courage to bargain with such a villain with bloody hands.

However, his thinking seems to have been seen through. Because at this time, the great white shark was already grinning, and laughed loudly at him.
