Chapter 220 Anger
Gangjing City.

Hundreds of years ago, this city was a huge steel-making city. The steel-making factories all over the city can turn hundreds of millions of ore into hundreds of millions of tons of steel every year.

Even now, with a large number of non-metallic materials and nano-materials generally replacing steel, the steel output in Gangjing City (mostly high-strength special steel) is still around 500 million tons per year.

Not only that, apart from the traditional steelmaking industry, Gangjing City is also the city with the largest production of underground weapons in the entire Area 52.

It can be said that 80% of the illegal pistols, rifles, and grenades that use chemical energy come from thousands of underground workshops in Gangjing City. Not only are they of excellent quality, but they also have a high reputation among users.

Weapons such as guns and ammunition have always been strictly prohibited by the laws of various cities in Area 52. Except for security personnel, ordinary citizens are not allowed to own guns. Once discovered, they will be fined heavily and detained for education.

The problem is that this bustling city that relies on the steel industry for its livelihood, after the steel industry weakened, the unemployment rate of workers is too high. If they don't make some weapons privately and sell them, I'm afraid they can only starve and drink the northwest wind.

……

After sitting on the train for several hours, Zhou Ming led his men to the west of the city. After distributing the photos according to the demarcated residential area, a dozen people dispersed and searched carefully.

I searched for it for three days, but I still haven't found it.

The reason is that the residential houses in this community are built on the basis of an abandoned steel factory. They are called residential houses, but they are simple houses piled up with giant containers one after another. How dare you say they are "Mid-range residential area", the conditions and environment are not even as good as the poor areas of Yaoxing City.

However, if you compare the other areas of the city, those container houses are not placed in the steel factory, but are scattered randomly and randomly placed in the muddy ground. The houses in these abandoned factory areas can really be said to be "mid-range". .

After all, the box houses (as the locals call them) in these factory areas are all connected to water and electricity, and the conditions are good.

The poverty of Gangjing City shocked Zhou Ming a little. This should be one of the poorest and most backward cities in Area 52. It may not even be better than some places in the lower areas. perception of Paradise Zone.

In heaven, there are also poor people.

The reason for the backwardness is also simple. On the one hand, the heavy industry is seriously weakened. On the other hand, relying on the strong steel fortress, after easily surviving the nuclear attack, the population of Gangjing City is as many as 300 million.

The population is still growing poorer, coupled with thousands of workshop-like underground arsenals, this city has always been synonymous with chaos.

In addition, Gangjing City also has a nickname called "The Hometown of Zeroes". There are countless zeros in this city. Guns are rampant, and those who are afraid of being caught will buy guns after they come to this city from all over the country, and they will buy guns when they get credit points. Those who clear them will chase him, and he will do it with guns, and even a group of zeroers will join forces to follow suit!
No matter how powerful the zero clearer is, it is impossible to move freely in the hail of bullets, and he can arrest whoever he wants.

If this trend continues, Gangjing City in Area 52 will sooner or later become a spark of rebellion, bringing endless turmoil and hidden dangers to the entire peaceful Area 52.

The same is true later, Zhou Ming remembers, about 20 years later, Gangjing City will stand up a charismatic leader, issue revolutionary slogans, lead millions of people, prepare a large number of weapons, and launch a momentum Great rebellion.

As a result, under the attack of some mysterious virus and large-scale stun gas, the rebel army was wiped out in less than a month.

Millions of people were sentenced to death, most of them were taken away by zero clearers, and a small number were thrown into the "Super War Game", becoming struggling and crying ants and cannon fodder in the eyes of the upper class nobles.

"Boss, I found it, I found it!"

On the fifth day, good news finally came. One of the subordinates guarding the gate of the community day and night saw a middle-aged man dressed as an elite in a suit and leather shoes. He recognized him at a glance by his appearance, which was quite similar to the boss. After getting out, he quickly called the communicator and reported the situation to Zhou Ming.

Fang Zhihong!
The father of this body has been found.

After seeing Fang Zhihong, Zhou Ming found that he was timid, fear and panic flashed in his eyes, and then saw the group of sturdy men following Zhou Ming, their footsteps drifted, as if they wanted to run away.

"Hold him down for me!"

After asking one of his subordinates to control him, he walked up to Fang Zhihong, and Zhou Ming asked, "Where are my mother and sister, take me to see them."

"Don't think about it!"

Fang Zhihong gritted his teeth, stared at him and said.

"Hmph! Do you think you can resist me?"

Zhou Ming, who had an extra injection of P10 Veritaserum in his hand, asked his subordinates to drag him to a place where no one was around. After holding him down firmly, he injected the injection, and quickly asked him everything he wanted to know.

On the outskirts of the factory complex, in front of a "box house" with 3 chain locks wrapped around it, he got the key from Fang Zhihong, opened the door, and walked in. The scene inside the house surprised Zhou Ming.

There are joy and anger.

Fortunately, mother Yuan Jiali and younger sister Fang Xiaojing are both there.

Not only are both of them there, but there is also an extra baby in the mother's hands.

What made him angry was that the appearance of his mother and sister had changed so much that he could hardly recognize them.

Handcuffs, the mother and sister's feet were wearing heavy handcuffs.

His hands were also tied by iron chains, tied near the bed and the toilet, and the maximum range of movement was no more than three meters.

The biggest change was the huge change in the mother's appearance.

Her hair was half gray, her face was haggard, skinny, her expression was in a daze, and she was in a daze. She held the baby in her arms and kept mumbling something. When an outsider walked in, she didn't even look up.

It gives people the feeling that after being greatly stimulated and tortured, people have gone crazy.

The younger sister Fang Xiaojing's performance was slightly better. After hearing the footsteps, her face panicked, and she subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide, but she saw that the person who came was not the devil, but she often dreamed, and she could only see it in dreams. After seeing the person behind her, ecstasy appeared on her face, she let out a loud cry, and flew towards him:

"Brother! Is it you! Is it really you?"

Then there was a miserable cry.

"It's me, it's me, don't cry, don't cry."

He patted his sister's bony back, hugged her in her arms and comforted her for a while, and then personally uncuffed and removed the iron chains for her sister and mother, Zhou Ming asked in detail, and they came to this area in Area 52 Two years, what happened?
While crying, Fang Xiaojing gobbled up the food in her hands, and at the same time told her brother the ins and outs of the incident.

It turned out that when the three of them first came to Area 52, everything in Area 52 was indeed like a "paradise" in their eyes, which made them full of longing and expectations for their new life in the future.

The mining company also arranged a job for Fang Zhihong: go to Gangjing City thousands of miles away, in a beautiful countryside attached to this city, and work as a lifelong professional nurse in a pension company .

There are tens of thousands of so-called pension companies in District 52, because the average life expectancy of people in District 52 is relatively long. Many elderly people over the age of 7 and 80, as well as some middle-to-high-income earners who have completed mid-term life extension, will basically spend the rest of their lives. They are all spent in various nursing homes.

Most of the elderly care companies established by the elderly care companies are generally selected to be built in the countryside with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful environment. If the conditions are good, they will also set up some fish ponds, flower gardens, farms and fitness centers, as well as intelligent robot nurses. Of course, the fees are relatively high.

The poor condition is a large building with a courtyard inside and a small playground for the sun. In terms of life, three meals a day, listening to the radio, and two strong nurses are hired to help those with limited mobility. Old man, a little help will do.

The pension company where Fang Zhihong works is naturally not a company with good conditions. While he is required to serve more than 50 elderly people over 90 years old by himself, his monthly salary is only 1500 credits.

With this salary, in addition to his own expenses, he also needs to support his wife and daughter.

What makes him even more unbearable is: he is a big man who is used to being served by dozens of people, but now he is asked to serve dozens of old people?

The beautiful fantasy in Fang Zhihong's heart was shattered in an instant. He felt deceived, and found that what the little devil said was right: this is not paradise, except for the blue sky and white clouds, green plants and clear rivers, everything else is hell!

The huge gap made him feel that instead of living this kind of life, he might as well stay in Area 51 and continue to be his area manager.

At least he is under one person and above tens of thousands.

Here, not only do you have nothing, you also have to be ordered around by dozens of old men.

quit, leave!

His wife, Yuan Jiali, held him back and told him to work for a while and not to resign in a hurry. If it didn't work, she would also go to the city to find a job and earn more money.

She still has two free coins in her hand, so she should be able to buy a job with a monthly salary of 5000 credits.

He rejected his wife's suggestion without hesitation. When did he fall to the point where he had to rely on women for support?You are not allowed to find a job, wait until I get a sum of money first!

So, Fang Zhihong started to use his brain, and after a while, he thought of several tricks to make money.

The first is to deduct food expenses. For 50 elderly people, one elderly person deducts 3 credit points for food expenses, which is 150 points a day and 4500 a month. With the minimum salary, he is a high-income class with a monthly income of 6000 points.

After doing this for three months, Fang Zhihong really made a small fortune. Of course, the average weight of those old people also lost three or four catties.

The second is to deduct medical expenses. These elderly people are old and have various physical problems. They often need to take various medicines, but because these medicines are purchased and fed by nurses, all the opportunities for him a lot of.

The money earned from deducting medical expenses is much more than food expenses. In the fourth month, Fang Zhihong directly earned more than 2 yuan a month, and in the fifth month, he almost rushed to [-] yuan.

In the sixth month, Fang Zhihong was fired and was discovered by the company. You said that within a month, three old people died in a row, can you not be discovered?
Fang Zhihong, who has been arrested, is a little confused. His third step is to put his mind on the inheritance of those deceased old people, so that he will earn more, and even get money from those old people. .

As a result, he was fired, not to mention, all the money he earned before was lost, and he was sued by a family member of the deceased to compensate the family member of the deceased.

At this time, it is reasonable that he should be taken away by the clearer, but his wife Yuan Jiali took out a piece of money, and at the last moment, she gave him a hand and said to him:

"We only have the last coin left. Find a stable job, work hard, and stop doing unreasonable things?"

Fang Zhihong lowered his head and said nothing. After the family of three went to the city to try their luck, on the information panel of the job exchange, they saw most of the jobs that could be bought for 1 money, and the monthly salary was only 3000-3500 credits. At that time, Fang Zhihong's gaze was deeply attracted by a position that required 3 coins to purchase:

职位：某钢铁厂生产经理；购买价格：3金钱；工资：10000信用点/月；描述：管理20名工人，有管理经验者，待遇可加10%-20%
This position, with high salary and ability to manage people, is very suitable for him.

Moreover, he had exactly 3 coins in his hand.

"We don't have three coins, we can only take out one at most." His wife Yuan Jiali was puzzled.

"Including the two on you and Xiaojing, isn't it exactly three?"

The corner of Fang Zhihong's mouth showed his iconic devil smile again.

So, from this day on, for Yuan Jiali and Fang Xiaojing, a nightmare came.

……

"boom!"

After listening to his sister's narration, Zhou Ming slammed his fist on the bed.

It was hard for him to imagine that there would be such a person: In order to prevent his wife and daughter from being taken away by the zeroizers, he locked them in the house all day and forbade them to go out.

Later, they were locked up for a long time, afraid that they would cry for help, they were handcuffed with iron chains, their hands and feet were handcuffed, and their movements were further restricted. They were too hungry to shout.

It is estimated that in the next step, in order to eradicate future troubles, he may have no other way to solve this trouble better than killing people.

"Da Biao, kill this beast for me, then chop up the body and throw it outside to feed the dogs!"

Zhou Mingdong was determined to kill, he was full of anger, and only someone's life and blood could completely extinguish him.

Hearing this, Fang Zhihong was so frightened, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, slapped himself, apologized and admitted his mistake, and begged bitterly: "Xiao Yuan, I'm your father, you can't treat me like this!"

"Gag his mouth and kill him quickly!"

Zhou Ming didn't want to listen anymore, his heart was as hard as a stone. Even in so many games, he had ordered his son to be executed, and this was the first time he had taken action against his biological father.

But for some damn evil spirits, someone has to come out to judge, right?What's more, in this world, there is no such thing as "filial piety". He will not be blamed if he stands up for his mother and sister and kills anyone.

"no, do not want……"

A voice came over, but it was a hand like dry wood, pulling himself. It turned out that it was the mother who had regained her senses and stopped herself.

"Mom, what are you doing in this world, such a trash beast?"

"Dad...Dad..."

The mother took the baby in her arms and put it in front of Zhou Ming. After saying a few syllables, Zhou Ming's body shook. He stared at the baby boy in a daze for a few seconds, and finally said helplessly to his subordinates: "Forget it, Let him die!"

Indeed, Fang Zhihong deserved to die, but for this newborn baby who was also his younger brother, his father could die at the hands of anyone, but his elder brother could not become his father-killing enemy.

This is a moral and ethical dilemma, as well as a struggle between human nature and conscience.

……

On the same day, Zhou Ming took his rescued mother, younger sister, three-month-old younger brother, and a group of subordinates on a maglev train and left Gangjing City.

As for Fang Zhihong, let him fend for himself!
