Cyberpunk: My system is divided into good and evil

Chapter 48

Most of the civilians living here are low-level citizens after bankruptcy, and most of them came here not voluntarily.

In the Emerald City, every few years, the city government or companies will try to solve the problem of the huge number of slums in the Emerald City and the homeless people wandering on the streets of the city.

They will forcibly transfer the people to the industrial zone in the north of the city, and place them in abandoned factories, in the name of giving everyone a home.

Then give them a low-wage job in a factory, and if you don't want to, the city government and company will even perform deadly cleaning.

Either way, these actions are always accompanied by large-scale riots and firefights, with local gangs getting involved, but usually just for the fun of it.

This is why the poor are left behind - it is easier to ignore them than to fix their problems.

The poor people who were moved here gradually adapted to life here.

Fortunately, there are charities that regularly give rain to the poor here, so that everyone can use high technology.

After all, even if the computer model is older, as long as it can run, it will be fine anyway.

After all, the highly developed online entertainment in 2077 is enough for the poor to forget the misery of life at night and indulge themselves in the virtual space.

In the movies made by entertainment stars, there will always be the lucky ones from the bottom who are favored by fate, and they can always touch the fame and luxury that they can't match.

False dreams are sometimes even more intoxicating than addictive drugs.

But the most deadly thing in the industrial area is the extremely polluted air here, which is so foul-smelling that it is unbelievable.

Walking on the street, you often see coughing people.

That's because the macromolecular pollution particles in the air entered their respiratory tract, damaging their lungs and blood circulation.

Without new organs or whole-body transfusions, they would die within ten years of organ failure or blood poisoning.

Walking down the street, don't be surprised if you see guys wearing breathing filters, they must be middle-level employees of the company who manage the factory.

After all, it was hard enough for them to work here, and they couldn't let their lungs be damaged again.

Then when the time comes, the company will not only have to compensate for work-related injuries, but also have to replace them with artificial organs, which will only make the directors lose more than they gain.

"Open your eyes now. What do you see? Is it extreme poverty? Crumbling infrastructure? Rampant gang violence?"

Not far away, a voice suddenly came.

Jiang Shu pulled back his racing thoughts, and followed the voice to cast his gaze.

He saw a palm-sized tablet lying far away.

Jiang Shu walked over and picked up the tablet, on which a video was playing.

It is the hottest hero movie in the Emerald City recently, "Overturning the Industrial Zone".

In the scene of flying bullets and continuous gunfire, the male protagonist driving a super mecha is chatting with the female protagonist through the communicator, and what Jiang Shu just heard is the sentence.

After finishing the sentence just now, without waiting for the heroine to respond to him, the hero continued with despair in his eyes: "But I only see the future of mankind."

Jiang Shu took a deep breath, put the tablet back on the spot, and clenched his teeth unconsciously.

Sure enough, I am still a bit sentimental from the Celestial Dynasty, and I don't want to see people suffer... Jiang Shu touched his astringent nose, and gave himself a few cheeks in his heart.

I don't even look at what capital I have now, and if I put it here to be compassionate, maybe I will be wiped by the system after a while.

Pulling back his thoughts, Jiang Shu put his mind back on Fist Gang.

The road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten bite by bite.

If he wanted to grab food out of his mouth, he had to think carefully.

Fortunately, the information provided by Zhou Shi was so detailed that it was frightening to think about carefully, which made it much easier for Jiang Shu to prescribe the right medicine.

Jiang Shu looked at the low three-story building at the end of the asphalt road and narrowed his eyes quietly.

The walls of the building were so gray that the original color could not be seen. At this time, the doors and windows were closed, and even the window glass on each floor was built with alloy anti-theft windows.

There is the current stronghold of the Fist Gang in the industrial area.

There are nearly [-] gang members including Sparta and Locke, as well as engineers.

Jiang Shu glanced at the time on his wrist, it was only around eight in the morning.

It's still early...Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows, and asked Jarvis to find the nearest game hall to pass the time.

……

……

Under the guidance of Jarvis in his ear, Jiang Shu walked through several narrow alleys and walked into a game hall called "Night Wave".

The predecessor of the Yelang game hall was an abandoned factory building, so from the outside, the game hall is not only old, but also broken.

On the iron gate of the game hall, you can still vaguely see a few strings of white spray-painted characters - so-and-so chemical paint factory.

But now it is spray painted with graffiti in all kinds of weird colors.

And a strangely shaped totem.

On the periphery of the totem is a circle of silver-white round bright edges.

In the bright side, there is a burning skull and a silver long sword inserted into the skull.

"Skull and Bones..." Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows.

A big gang that ranks high in the industrial area.

The industrial area can be so chaotic, and the Skull and Bones Society has also contributed a lot.

The iron gate of the Yelang game hall was locked tightly, and only a small door that was clearly cut out was opened.

Moreover, the gas cutting machine used for cutting was obviously old and worn out, the outline of the small door was crooked, and many sharp iron stubbles were raised at the corners.

On both sides of the gate, two reformed men with cigarettes in their mouths puffed out clouds of smoke, carrying guns, and looked at the crowd passing by the entrance of the game hall from time to time like falcons.

Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Shu passed through the two and got in through the small door.

In the game hall, the lights are dim, and you can see several purple neon light tubes standing on the ground every few steps.

The perverse color matching deliberately creates a visual impact, trying to create psychological depression for all the people who enter here, so that they can devote themselves more wholeheartedly to the virtual game world.

The huge industrial pipeline above the head is exposed in the air, and when you look up, you can even see that it is covered with black moss.

A large number of electronic display boards are hung on the rusty walls.

The exhibition boards are full of beautiful women in scantily clad clothes.

If you are willing to pay their salaries, you can go to the person in charge of the game hall.

He would love to be a broker.

As long as they have no guests, you can release your hands today and let them rest.

Above the head, several square-shaped halogen lamps hang every ten meters, slightly illuminating all kinds of people in the game hall, so that you can see clearly who is easy to mess with and who is not.

Although it is a game hall, you can drink, play cards, play ball, and watch movies here.

Good guy, what game hall.

This is obviously a multimedia entertainment center.
