Chapter 767 (1/2)
On the way to do property notarization, zero can see that the buildings of sin city are full of the feeling of military control. All the buildings are unified two-story bungalows in a rectangular structure. There are no unnecessary edges and corners, everything is simple and clear. Roadways and highways crisscross in a row, dividing the whole city into squares with unified specifications.
There is no green, no square, no street park and any other leisure facilities. Here, I can only feel a repressive atmosphere.
Only to the north of the city, where a small area is marked as a free zone. After the lifting of the night restrictions, the residents of the city can enjoy their own entertainment in the free zone, only a little, not killing people.
The only high-rise buildings are several watchtowers around the city, which are concrete structures and stand on the edge of the city. The tower is 30 meters high and covered with dark holes, which are the shooting windows when necessary. There are soldiers on the tower for many years, and you can see every corner of the city from above. After all, the city is full of low buildings, which can't block the soldiers' eyes.
What's more, there is a monitoring system in every street, which is located in the monitoring room of the city defense army. The soldiers inside can watch what's happening in every corner of the city 24 hours a day.
From time to time, two or three cars were passing by, full armed soldiers on them. When they arrive at the predetermined location, they will get out of the car and knock on the door of the household door by door for random inspection. As soon as any illegal residents are found, they will be immediately seized and sent to the big prison.
Zero passing, just to see a fat man to a few soldiers pulled out. He fought and cursed. A soldier stabbed his thick back with an electric shock device, and the man immediately frothed and fainted. From the loose hands, a syringe rolled down, as if it was caught at home when preparing to inject drugs.
Things like this happen in the city.
After all, this is a city of crime, a city where criminals live. You can't expect these lawless guys to really abide by the law.
Zero calls up a map stored in the master's brain, which is based on the information of yafidi, plus the record he made after making a silent survey on the island before he arrived at the city of sin. The city of sin is closely connected with the surface base of Thebes prison. The entrance of Thebes prison is somewhere on the surface base. The ground base has an army of about 3000 people, equipped with paladins and Griffins, artillery tanks and missile armored vehicles. The defense capability of the base itself is very excellent. Heavy artillery turrets are scattered and interspersed with anti-aircraft machine guns and other firepower points, which makes it dangerous to be bombed by heavy firepower when attacking the base.
Zero saw with his own eyes a team of paladins and Griffin Knights patrolling around the base on irregular routes. With the low altitude cruising ability of Griffin knights, the base is a plain landscape. If there is any change, it will be detected soon. Even zero can leave quietly under the eyes of the Griffin Knight only with the ability of space jumping. Other people have to hide from the reconnaissance system of the second generation mecha in this landscape, unless they are equipped with high-level perception domain ability.
Unfortunately, there are no such talents in the zero ability group.
The more so, the more fortunate zero is that he has mixed in as Rafael. If we can't attack rashly from the outside, we have to collapse from the inside and rescue hindrella. When driving through the southeast of the city, you can see from a distance that there is a high platform built in the sea area outside the city. There are several heavy artillery turrets on the left and right sides, and you don't know what they are for.
”It's a scaffold.” The guard in charge of leading zero said, ”it's a scaffold for executing some serious criminals. I've heard that a female pirate will be executed in two days. That should be a big man. Otherwise, we won't use the high standard treatment of scaffold everywhere.”
The meaning of the guard's words is nothing more than that of those indecent criminals. If they want to be executed, they usually kill them secretly, and then throw their bodies into the sea like wild dogs. Therefore, the criminals who can walk on the scaffold are either powerful or high-level.
Zero looked deeply at the scaffold, then bowed his head and kept silent. He did not forget that there was a sense of killing at any time, which was not strong, but oppressive. It's like a beast trapped in a prison. Once it gets rid of its shackles, it will suddenly kill people. Let the guard can't help but move away a little, heart secretly pay attention to. After all, Rafael is also a pirate who kills people without blinking an eye. According to his information, many papal soldiers died under Rafael.
The guard looked at the bag at the foot of zero again, and there was a blazing light in his eyes. It's said that all the things in that bag are Lafayette's property. In terms of Lafayette's reputation, the things in that bag should be very valuable. Zero sense was too hot guard's eyes, slightly raised his head a line, looked at the guard. The latter is like being drenched with cold water and shivering immediately.
When I came to the notary office, several men were chatting with a female staff member. One of them, a man with red hair, pinches his hands on a woman's buttocks from time to time. The woman doesn't resist, on the contrary, she panders. When he saw these people, the guard walked quickly with his head down. Even if the soldiers are still like this, I'm afraid the red haired man or the power behind him is not simple.The city of sin is not necessarily the military has the final say.
Coming to window 4, the guard knocked on the window and yelled, ”old man Gordon, where are you dead? Come out and notarize the property!”
After calling several times, an old man, wearing glasses and hobbling, came out from behind a door. He lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked out of the window and said, ”another dead man, hey.”
The guard could not help looking at the zero, and then whispered: ”what nonsense? Be careful with your mouth. One day you will become a dead man.”
”I don't care. Anyway, I've lived enough. It's good to have a rest early.” The old man sat on a high chair and said, ”come on, take out your property. Gordon will give you a fair price
Zero throws the bag heavily on the counter, and there is a dull sound immediately. This sound is dull, even that several men all stop all actions, look toward zero side. When Gordon unzipped the bag and emptied the contents, everyone except the old man, including the guard, took a breath.
Gold, jewelry, diamonds... Even zero is surprised. There are a lot of things in this bag, and they are all valuable. The most important is the square gold bricks. As for other gems and diamonds, in addition to their own value, plus other processing technologies, they are a lot of wealth. These things were prepared for him by Isabel, who said it was the property that Rafael donated to the brotherhood.
Some of them bear the mark of a nobleman. It was Rafael who robbed them. These things can explain the identity of zero more forcefully from the side, so Isabel put forward all of them.
The old man, Gordon, took a magnifying glass to identify, register and quote each piece of jewelry. It was as if these valuable things were like bricks and stones on the ground in his eyes. On the other hand, the guard in charge of leading zero was short of breath, and several men nearby were spitting.
When a woman with a little bit of beauty looks at zero, her eyes are as blazing as if she wants to melt it. Zero sees all this in the eye, silent does not speak.
It took Gordon a morning just to count the property brought by zero and turn it into a common credit point in sin city. Zero has been waiting quietly, without any impatience. Until Gordon said, ”well, here's your credit card in town. Take it. It's also your ID card. You should take it with you at any time. Until you become a dead man. ”
Zero nodded, took the credit card, then looked at the old man and said quietly, ”I won't die, but I'm sure there will be a lot of people dying.”
Gordon was stunned, then said with a smile: ”interesting. Hello, boy. If you don't die in the evening, come to me at the vault bar in the free zone and tell them that you can find Gordon. Then I'll buy you a drink. ”
”Of course, you can invite me. After all, you got 240000 credit points for those things. As long as you don't make trouble, these things can be used on the day when you die of old age. ” Gordon deliberately raised the volume, then blinked to zero and said, ”after all, the daily food delivery only needs 30 credit points.”
Through this sentence, zero has a preliminary understanding of the economic system of sin city. At the same time, I also know that the old man is deliberately making trouble for himself. Sure enough, when he and the guard were about to leave, the men also came towards them.
The guard was a little nervous, but he was totally unconscious. Near the gate, zero or two people were stopped. Gao Deng in the back sat by the window with a cup of coffee and a good look on his face, while the woman looked nervously over there.
”Hey, brother. What's your name? ” Among them, the red haired man stepped forward.
