Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

As dusk approached, Lian used the towel at hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and neck. There were sounds of banging and banging all around. In just four months, buildings have been erected in this area after demolition. .

It was completed by the end of the year. The contract between Lian and the construction company also ended at the end of the year. Lian really wanted to run away. If he resigned voluntarily without any reason, he would have to pay five times a month's standard salary. For Lian, 10,000 yuan It's not much. The money they got from the previous nine robberies was enough to pay the compensation.

The money was divided into four parts, and everyone hid their money in different places. Only he knew that Lian still had 200,000 in hand, which was still some distance from Lian's goal of opening a small shop and buying an apartment, so Lian suggested taking the lead in the robbery.

With this money, you can buy a spacious 150-square-meter apartment in a better mid-rise area for only 150,000 yuan, and the remaining 100,000 yuan is needed for business.

Robert had also persuaded Lian to stop and could lend Lian part of his money, but Lian planned to do it for the last time.

Now that the matter was exposed, Lian blamed herself extremely, but under Ran Zai's words today, a terrible thought appeared in Lian's mind at this moment. If the three of them wanted to leave the city, they would definitely get their money back. And Lian can take action after helping them get the money and monopolize the three people's 750,000.

Just do what Ran Zai said. Lian took a look at the poison Ran Zai gave him in his pocket. Since he came into contact with Ran Zai, he has never lied or reported them, so Lian has some trust in Ran Zai. She doesn't I don't know what that young man wants to do, but what is certain is that his thinking and behavior are different from ordinary people.

Maybe Ran Zai got involved in his affairs simply because it was fun. In Lian's opinion, that was how the boy made him feel.

At this time, Lianxin was ready to move, and she unconsciously speeded up the movements of her hands. Until 8 o'clock in the evening, Lian was off work, and Lian could have a day off starting tomorrow.

Lian went to the supermarket to buy some things. The supermarket has now increased the number of mutant bodyguards. The last riot caused the supermarket to close for nearly a week, causing a lot of losses, and a lot of goods were destroyed by fire.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Lian carried her things and stepped into the secret apartment. After opening the underground entrance, Robert and the three of them came up.

"I've already contacted someone."

Lian said, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. The three of them looked at the food and wine brought by Lian. The other two became alert. The atmosphere was a bit solemn at this time. Robert smiled and took it from Lian's hand. Food, eat and drink directly.

"How much does it cost?"

At this time, one of the thin men named Kent asked. He is the most alert in the team. Every time he takes action, he will repeatedly check and find the loopholes in the plan, and then fill them in, so the first nine times can go smoothly. profit.

Another fat man named Wang Yi looks a little clumsy, but he is a skilled pickpocket. He has obtained many of the things he needs to use in many operations, as well as investigating some people's affairs. It was also done by Wang Yi.

As the mutant in the team, Robert serves as the vanguard, and Lian Lai is responsible for the action planning.

"100,000, and they will provide food and water regularly for the next three years."

Lian said, but she was very panicked in her heart. She had learned about the prices on the black market before, and the cost of escaping from the barrier area. One person generally started with 10,000 yuan, which basically guaranteed to escape the city and reach the barrier area safely. It also comes with a month's worth of food, water, and weapons, but if you want to get supplies regularly, you'll need more money.

At this time, Kent and Wang Yi also started to eat, because they saw that Robert had no problem after eating. It was not that they did not believe in Lian. If it had not happened before, they would not have suspected Lian, but after the accident, Both men were alert, as was Robert.

It's just that Robert and Lian have been together much longer than the two of them. He has known Lian since she was in her teens. At that time, Robert was working at a construction site and saw a down-and-out young man who was helping out near the construction site. The girl thought she was pitiful, so she took her under her wing and taught her many things.

Still no one broke the silence, everyone knew it well, and Lian's heart was beating violently at this time, and there were only three words in her mind: survive.

There was only the sound of the three people eating, and Lian was still waiting for the three of them to speak.

At this time, Robert took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down an address and a series of numbers.

"Help me bring the money over to Lian, and bring over the black market man."

Lian stretched out her hand, and the moment she took the note, the note fell. Lian hurriedly picked it up, and Robert's eyes changed slightly.

"I'll bring that guy tomorrow."

Lian picked up the note and turned around to leave. After Lian left, Kent spoke.

"Did she really find someone from the black market?"

Robert turned his back to the two of them, and then he laughed.

"Don't you trust Lian?"

At this time Wang Yi spoke.

"It's not hard to believe, this is the only guarantee for our survival in the future. Each of us still has 250,000. If we follow the price Lian said, we can live in the barrier zone for about 8 years without worrying about food and drink. And You can go to the guard station to get food regularly.”

"Don't think about it, there is no way Lian will betray us."

Robert said, and the two of them fell into silence and continued to eat. Indeed, in the past four months, Lian would come regularly to deliver food. The reason why they stayed here for so long was to wait for the results of the investigation, which was finally completed a month ago. As a result, the three of them were wanted.

Once they are wanted, it means that they can no longer stay in the city. The barrier zone is the best choice, but none of the three people want to leave the city. In this situation, they are discussing countermeasures. A month has passed. , but now we have to move on. This old city will be demolished after the new city opposite is completed at the end of this year.

Instead of waiting until the last moment, it is better to leave now, but now Wang Yi and Kent are a little worried, because if they die, the robbery will be over, and Lian can continue to live in the city well, and they are now The money in hand would be risky if Lian were to get it.

However, Robert was very good at alleviating their inner doubts. As long as they saw the black market people and Robert's money, they could safely let Lian get the money.

in the dark night

Lian ran out of the subway station in District 55 and walked through the crowded streets. The flashing neon lights kept making her shadow change rapidly on the ground.

There was only one place Lian wanted to go to, the place where Robert hid his money. It was a self-service safe of an insurance company next to the central square in Area 55. It required a password to open it.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Lian arrived at the central square, which was crowded with people. She successfully entered the insurance company's store with lights on the edge of the square. After entering, she walked to the right and saw rows of metal safes standing beside it. In front of her eyes, Lian found Robert's safe. After looking around for a while, Lian opened the safe.

There was a black bag inside. Lian carried it directly on her back and left the insurance company as if nothing had happened.

This kind of safe can be used to store anything. You only need to pay a usage fee of 50 yuan a month. Lian came to a barbecue restaurant, found a small cubicle, ordered something, and then opened it carefully. I picked up the bag and inside were wads of banknotes.

Lian looked at the money with a heavy expression. He knew why Robert asked him to withdraw the money first and also brought people from the black market there. It was to reassure the other two people.

"Sorry Robert."

Lian pressed her forehead. She felt a little regretful at this moment. She should have told Ran Zai earlier. If she had told him earlier, Kent might have thought of something and they might have canceled this operation.

There are many people who are one step away, and they will choose to step over without hesitation, but many people fall down like this. If they had stopped, Lian would have opened a store now.

Lian has learned too much during her years of working on construction sites. Lian plans to open an engineering equipment store. It is difficult to open such a store. It requires at least 100,000 start-up capital, but it can be profitable in the future. I came back because nowadays the city is full of demolition and construction.

The future life can be extremely stable, which is what Lian has always wanted to pursue, but now all this is about to come to nothing. At this time, the waiter knocked on the door, Lian hurriedly pulled up her bag, and she asked for some wine.

At this moment, Lian is helpless. She doesn't know what to do. Of the two plans proposed by Ran Zai, the former is easy, while the latter is extremely difficult. No matter how you look at it, you should choose the former.

An idea appeared in Lian's heart. Find a beggar, pretend to be a black market trader, and then kill the beggar together. After getting the money, he won't have to worry too much about his future life.

GuluGulu

Lian drank a big sip of wine, and then started eating directly. Looking at the scarlet fire and the sizzling barbecue, Lian's mind flashed back to the days she spent with Robert. Without Robert, she might not have been able to eat. Life is even more difficult, and the final destination is only District 29.

Lian was extremely lucky to meet Robert. Lian knew clearly that there was nothing worthy of belief in this world. Her childhood experiences were still vivid in her mind. Since her father disappeared, her mother lost weight day by day, and then fell ill and was hospitalized. Her savings were almost wiped out, and then some of the few properties she owned were taken away by her relatives. She was thrown into an orphanage, and her relatives only gave the orphanage a little money on a regular basis.

Lian wanted to report the crime, but Lian couldn't explain the most basic things. Although the administrative department investigated later, there was no follow-up. The orphanage was closed when Lian was 11 years old.

Like most orphans, he can only wander around the city and help at some construction sites. Although he doesn't get paid, he can have a meal.

"If you do this, you will only have to work in the special service industry in District 29, little girl."

Lian still clearly remembers that this was the first thing Robert said to her. Lian was stealing some materials from the construction site and taking them to the black market to exchange for money.

Lian was in a panic at the time, but Robert did not report her, but asked Lian to work with him. After that, Lian gradually mastered some skills of working on the construction site and began to earn money.

But this good life lasted for three years. Robert was sentenced to two years in prison for fighting with nearby gang members. After that, Lian lived alone on the construction site for two years.

The person who fought with Robert was only sentenced to 3 months of labor punishment, but Robert was sentenced to 2 years because Robert was a mutant. Afterwards, Lian waited for Robert to be released from prison in hardships, but Robert was released in a year and a half. .

At this time, Lian met Wang Yi and Kent, both of whom were Robert's roommates in prison. They got along very well, and they started working together on the construction site to earn a living.

The days were supposed to be spent peacefully, but huge changes occurred in the city. After that, the four of them had no choice but to make ends meet by traveling from east to west. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could never save much money, and their wages were often withheld and they were forced to hire workers. The money promised is never received.

After saving money for a period of time, the four started a business partnership. However, the business failed. It was very good at first, but then with the intervention of some wealthy businessmen, their business soon came to an end. The four People's hard-earned savings have basically been wasted, and they can only return to the construction site.

Eight years ago, because of a salary theft, the four people were completely angry. However, there was no way. The terms of employment at that time clearly stated some details. In the end, the four people combined to directly rob the boss who had withheld their wages. Home.

The first plan went smoothly. Lian spent a week customizing the plan, and then spent another two weeks making various arrangements. They succeeded and successfully grabbed more than 150,000 from the boss's home.

Because the boss had used some means to deduct the money or deducted it from other places, and it was black money outside the financial statements, the boss did not dare to report the case, and everything started to go smoothly.

During this period, they planned to target black gold, but after several common-sense arrangements, Robert persuaded everyone to give up, because many people who hide black gold are related to gang members. Once they are contaminated by gang members, they will It would be dangerous.

In the end, the four people set their targets on some unscrupulous businessmen who were greedy for wealth. As the plan succeeded again and again, in just a few years, the four people accumulated a lot of money.

After the ninth successful robbery, all the hardships were over and everyone had their money for what they wanted to do. They were also planning to stop, but at this time Lian proposed to do it one last time.

Originally, Lian was planning to stop, but after she saw the businessman who had taken away the land of the orphanage with some connections and money appearing on TV, she decided to take action against the businessman. Lian wanted revenge.

The other three people were opposed to it at the time, but after Lian revealed the past, the three of them nodded in agreement, and the plan should have gone smoothly.

"Why!"

Lian pressed the bottle of wine in distress. She didn't know what to do, but maybe she had already decided what to do. At this time, Lian's eyes changed. She stood up and took another look at Ran Zai in her pocket. Taking the poison, Lian left the barbecue restaurant.

Soon, Lian found an old beggar somewhere on the street, and then Lian walked over.

"How about I give you 1,000 yuan and do me a favor?"
