Chapter 4 The Ninth District

Phelan didn't take Beth's words to heart. Now and before the disaster, they are two completely different worlds. Moreover, it is difficult for a gathering place with only secondary network authority to guarantee its independence.They are either destroyed by electromagnetic storms, or swallowed by other forces with higher authority.Of course, this premise is still based on the fact that they have not been wiped out by energy absorbers or other monsters.

The scavenger team was nothing more than a small accident during the journey to Faerun. This year's electromagnetic storm seemed to come earlier than usual. When he was walking among the ruins, Faerun could even keenly feel The smell of strong radiation coming from the air.Because of this, when Fei Lun returned to the ninth district again, it was already overcrowded.

The Ninth District is the largest gathering place in this wild wasteland, and it is also the only one with Level [-] network authority.This is the benefit of high-level gathering places. The higher the network authority level, the more network energy can be called, the larger the coverage area, and the stronger the power to resist electromagnetic storms.At first, people didn't know this, but everything changed when they realized the value of a privileged network zone.

Walking in the ninth district, you can see people wearing leather armor and carrying weapons everywhere.This is the norm in the wasteland. After that disaster, the world's population was reduced to less than one tenth, and those who survived had to face not only natural disasters, but also those who were formed by their former compatriots. The monster army is so huge that it is almost hopeless.Facing such a world, they have no choice but to fight.

The appearance of Fei Lun quickly attracted the attention of others, especially his clothes, which always looked neat and clean, seemed out of place in this world full of dust and blood.It's like a well-dressed rich man walking into a ghetto alone.

But no one stood up to express their dissatisfaction. Most people turned their heads quickly when they saw Faerun, and the few guys who didn't have long eyes and planned to step forward to make trouble would be quickly stopped by others silently, and then led Go to the crowd to "educate" a good meal. It's not because they respect the "doctor" so much, but no one wants to cause trouble—especially when the other party is a "doctor".

It's not worth it to cause your own death because of someone else's stupidity.

When Fei Lun walked into the "Wild Mary" tavern, it was already night time.

Pushing open the heavy door, it is a mixture of hoarse screams and wild rock music that rushes head-on.The flickering lights flashed across the dimly lit hall, and the madness brought about by alcohol made people indulge recklessly on the dance floor. They twisted their bodies, screamed loudly, and danced to the deafening beat.And in the corners, men and women, men and men, women and women can be seen everywhere huddled together.Regardless of gender, regardless of age, they indulge in the carnival atmosphere and the excitement brought by alcohol here.It seems that this can make them forget the danger outside and return to that carefree, peaceful and happy time.

Fei Lun took off his hat, walked slowly to the front of the bar and found a place to sit down, and soon, a bartender came in front of him.

"Welcome back, doctor, you are here later than usual."

"Just doing a good thing along the way."

Facing the bartender's question, Phelan answered with a smile.But when he heard Fei Lun's answer, the burly, sturdy and brave man on the opposite side suddenly turned pale, and he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and then he smiled.

"You are indeed a doctor, so... what do you need?"

"a glass of juice."

While speaking, Fei Lun glanced at the black cat that was jumping off his shoulder.

"And grilled fish."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

If someone else made such a request, the big man would have picked it up and thrown it into the trash can.But after hearing Fei Lun's words, the big man immediately nodded without hesitation, and then quickly ran to the other side to start preparations, even temporarily putting down the drinks of other customers who were originally mixing.But in the face of this situation, none of the customers protested, as if it was natural for the other party to do so, and they were all the most reasonable gentlemen in the world.

Soon, everything will be ready.

"Your juice, doctor. And your grilled fish, cutie."

Respectfully putting the freshly squeezed juice in his hand in front of Fei Lun, the bartender smiled and blinked at the black cat beside Fei Lun, then quickly backed away and continued with his work.Only Fei Lun was left sitting there alone, enjoying everything in front of him.

The juice in the glass exudes a fresh aroma, and Fei Lun slowly turns the glass.His expression looked very focused, and his long black hair was combed meticulously to the sides, setting off this handsome, angular face.On weekdays, if you meet such a young and handsome man, there will always be women who will come forward to strike up a conversation.But now, even the most masculine woman dares to curl up in a corner, staring at the figure sitting in front of the bar with cat-like eyes full of curiosity.

Unfortunately, not everyone is self-aware.

"Hey, that juice-drinking sissy!"

A rough voice sounded, and with this voice, a burly, strong man wearing only a leather jacket strode forward. Unlike most of the people in the tavern, he did not carry a gun. Instead, he carried a huge hammer behind his back.The way he walks looks like a tyrannosaur, and anyone who stands in front of him will be completely crushed under his feet.

Every time the man took a step, the ground would vibrate slightly.Just like that, he strode up behind Fei Lun, staring at the young, thin guy in front of him with a look of disdain.And Fei Lun didn't even look at him, he just raised his head and stared at the bartender in front of him.Sensing his gaze, the bartender helplessly spread his hands.

"We can't help it, doctor. Recently, a lot of self-righteous guys have come to the ninth district, and we can't manage it."

"Hey, did you hear that? You little boy? This is my place!"

The man didn't pay attention to the communication between Fei Lun and the bartender, only to see a ferocious smile on his scarred face, staring at Fei Lun in front of him.

"Get out of here quickly, this is not the place for you, a sissy with pets, do you hear me? You..."

However, the man's words were not finished.Because at this moment, Fei Lun was already standing in front of him, and the cold and sharp scalpel was placed flatly in the man's open mouth at this moment.

"Poor man……………"

Fei Lun sighed lightly, then he raised his head, showing a soft smile.

"I think you need therapy."

"Wow!"

Fei Lun's voice hadn't finished yet, and the surrounding crowd immediately backed away quickly. Even the drunk man who was slumped on the bar counter was rolling and crawling into the crowd at the moment. It's like hating my parents for giving me two legs.

"you******……………"

"Recording begins."

However, facing the furious man, Fei Lun's face remained unchanged. He just watched him quietly, tilted his head at the same time, and spoke.

"The patient has severe mental disorders, manifested as uncontrollable obscenities, and excessive violent tendencies... Based on the diagnosis, it was decided to perform surgery on the affected part."

While speaking, Fei Lun flipped his right hand, accompanied by an indistinct scream, a section of bright red tongue flew out from the man's wide open mouth, and landed on the nearby wine glass with a "snap". Inside, blood spread from the fracture, and soon dyed the wine bright red.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!"

The man stumbled back, his mouth was bright red, and the severe pain made his facial muscles tremble and twist, as ferocious as a beast.His eyes were red, and he stared at Fei Lun viciously. Then the man let out an indistinct roar, and suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the hammer behind his back and raised it high.At the same time, the man's already strong body suddenly swelled up like a ball.And his skin also quickly lost its original color, and began to condense and deform, transforming into a more powerful existence.Seeing this scene, many people gasped.Being able to change his body so strangely means that the man in front of him already has the ability to manipulate mass.This also means that he is a powerful fighter with level [-] authority!

On the wasteland, people can use the network system.However, only those who are truly gifted will awaken their abilities.It's like the Beth that Phelan met before, or the man in front of him.Not only can they use the basic capabilities of the system, but they can even elevate their authority to do things that ordinary people cannot do.It's like superpowers, or magic.

Although there is no unified cognition, most people divide the ability level of these authorized persons into five stages: "mastery-manipulation-control-transformation-creation".Taking two levels of authority as the first level, the division of strength up to ten levels is the only symbol of power in this doomsday land.

A fighter with level [-] authority is already considered a strong man here.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong target.

"The patient lost control and showed an aggressive personality. The final treatment option was execution."

Accompanied by Fei Lun's elegant and peaceful voice, the man who had raised the hammer above his head suddenly trembled, and then he remained in this posture motionless.Until a moment later, the hammer slipped from his hand and hit the ground with a piercing sound.At the same time, the man's tall body crashed to the ground.

And on his neck, there was a scalpel shining with cold light.
