Well, let's celebrate.

Now there will be no bird flu or any influenza to strike decent citizens.

A few weeks ago, the Department of Health and Human Services conducted a high-temperature disinfection of the sewers. Many homeless people who did not get the news died. It is said that they were transported to the landfill in the south of the city and buried. Well, it can be regarded as eliminating the possibility of the plague.

Officially, this is their contribution to the progress of Night City.

You see, how hard it is.

We didn't even dispose of the garbage, and dumped it directly in the open-air garbage dump, but we spent manpower and material resources mercifully to dispose of the bodies of these homeless people?It's really hard work, and everything you have done deserves the corresponding honor and praise.

Well, Rocky has to admit.

If they only dealt with unclaimed corpses in the streets and alleys, then what they did was nothing more than greedy and lazy departments. After all, they did something, which is a rare serious department in Night City.

But the problem is that these homeless people don't have to die.

For these homeless people who have gradually become shrewd in order to survive, they drag their families to avoid official personnel, whether it is the Department of Health and Human Services, NCPD notes, or even government department clerks.

As long as they see people in uniforms, the desire to survive in their hearts will be triggered reflexively.

Fortunately, luck in misfortune.

Except for a few places that are convenient and one-size-fits-all, they have basically never been to the filthy places in this high-crime area.

In the entire Night City, except for the important area of ​​the company square, which is patrolled [-]/[-], homeless people can be found in almost every other place.As for the guys in the Health Bureau, if there is no document issued above, or the director is thinking about doing some "cleaning", then most of these people are relatively quiet.

For example, in the alley behind the city government building, there are dens of homeless people.

Luo Qi took two steps forward and swiped some money for the other party.

These days, almost everyone has implants, and even beggars can probably get a few tattered chips even if they don't, because it's much more convenient than carrying a lot of steel coins with them.

Besides, no one carries cash with them these days.

"Thank you, thank you! God bless you and be with you, sir!"

The adult quickly made a gesture of gratitude, lying on the ground, lowered his body, and bowed his head deeply.

Luo Qi's heart suddenly seemed to be blocked by something, and he choked and couldn't speak.

"thanks……"

The child imitated his own adults, and lowered his head, looking at Luo Qi numbly.

At this age, he should be in school.

Luo Qi didn't know the exact age of the child, because it is very difficult for severely malnourished people to judge their age by appearance.

He is only seven or eight years old, but maybe he looks thin, maybe ten years old.

"Have the opportunity to read more..."

As soon as Luo Qi said the words, he froze.

He just said it subconsciously.

Because in his view, children always have to receive compulsory education.

But Night City doesn't.

The education system in Night City is tough, especially for families with educated children.

The well-connected learn some skills, and the rich go to college; the poor are not worthy of education, and the rich must receive aristocratic private education.

Restricted by the living area, many poor people live in high-crime neighborhoods, so their children can only go to elementary schools nearby.Generally speaking, this kind of elementary school set up in an area where no one wants it is extremely bad, and most of the students who graduate from this kind of school will enter the middle school called "cesspool".

After the Great Crash, the U.S. economy has been in a slump, and the education system has suffered a huge blow.

In such unimproved junk schools, generally more than one-third or even one-half of the students fail to graduate, which can be called a "dropout factory".

Before the economic collapse, there were thousands of such dropout holy places in the United States, and in 2077, the number was even fewer.

It is not because the educational environment has improved, but the number of schools has been greatly reduced.

They are constantly sending young people who are idle and uneducated to the society, and poor schools and bad social atmosphere continue to influence each other, forming an endless loop.

Who has the most Tiger Claws?

The civilian teenagers who drop out of school halfway through reading each year are the most.

In school, they can't learn any useful knowledge, because even the teachers are notorious garbage people.

They also have to endure all kinds of high fees for fancy names, even if they receive "free compulsory education".

At the same time, I can't learn a skill to make a living, and I can't even earn a living for myself.

Many people work in the Tiger Claw Gang's car repair shop or other small workshops, and they have learned more skills in one year than in the past ten years.

Drug trafficking, smuggling, robbery, extortion, arson, protection fees, organizing prostitution, organ reselling, black prosthetic body transformation...

Everything they learned in gangs is more "money-worthy" than what they learned in school.

The children of the homeless are still the homeless, the children of the common people are still the common people, the children of the elite are still the elite, and the children of the capitalists are still the capitalists.

Class has never been so solidified.

Because the up and down circulation channels are cut off.

This channel is called...education.

Education cannot turn them into capitalists, but at least it can allow these homeless people to return to their status as civilians who can eat their own food.

Luo Qi suddenly began to understand where the homeless people who left the city and the gang members who wandered around the streets came from.

They may have had a family that was not perfect but not bad, and they may have lived a life that was not rich but had food and clothing.

However, they ended up becoming abandoned by the city.

Chapter 180 Six Hey~ Handsome Guy

"Hey~ handsome guy."

Just when Luo Qi was not in high spirits and wanted to leave the area, a delicate voice called him from behind.

Luo Qi immediately shuddered.

Because this artificial emphasis really made the goosebumps all over his body start to rebel.

And it's already 2077, why are these people still happily using this old-fashioned way of greeting from the last century...

Luo Qi turned around and saw the two girls from the Mox Gang who were talking behind their backs just now.

Their appearance is so unconventional that it takes almost no thinking to judge their identity.

"what's up?"

Luo Qi is not the kind who can't walk when he sees a woman.

In other words, after making so many commissions, many of the targets were women, and some even knelt down and begged for mercy after seeing his unsheathed blade. It can be said that as long as he is willing, he can do whatever he wants.

As an LSP who has been influenced by Night City for some time, Luo Qi's male instinct was shamefully moved by such a scene.

Just one click, really.

So Luo Qi changed to a slightly less bloody way at that time.

He put the katana back into its sheath.

Just when the other party was ecstatic and thought that he had saved his life, Luo Qi punched her and broke her neck.

Sometimes, stereotypes of women can lead men to have some false compassion.

Some women were killed as the company's dogs, and were retaliated by desperate family members.Or betrayed information about his new boyfriend for profit, causing him to be shot to death by hostile gangs, and this person happened to be under the middleman Luo Qi made friends with.Some even pretended to be troubled women, tricked the foolish lecherous men into a corner and killed them, and then those who should sell their organs would sell their organs, and those who should have their implants removed would be eaten and wiped clean.

The term femme fatale is not created for any gender.

At that time, Luo Qi felt that he had to face up to this problem——

Scum is scum, regardless of gender, age, culture, class, race, etc.

But in the eyes of the two sisters of the Mox gang, such vigilance turned into a kind of aggressive hostility.

Why do I feel that his eyes are so terrifying...

Fluorescent Mao glanced at the kelp green hair beside him, who also had a very restrained expression.

"Ah... um..."

The line that had already been thought out was completely forgotten at this time.

They suddenly found that the peaceful and ambiguous atmosphere they had imagined did not exist at all.

So "hmmmhhhh" for a while, not even a useful word popped out.

"..."

Luo Qi sighed helplessly, "Tell me, who asked you to come."

"Susanna."

"Susie."

In Luo Qi's opinion, the two little sisters, who were probably not yet 20 years old, spoke positively.

"Ah?" Luo Qi froze for a moment, "Who is it?"

"Susanna and Susie are the same person, we usually call her Susie." Pinky said, shaking the hair (or wig) with super high contrast and color saturation, almost blinding Luo Qi's eyes .

How do you feel where you heard it...

Luo Qi felt that he had seen this name before, but it was not a niche name, and there were not too many people with the same name.

"She is the boss of our Mox Gang." Seeing that Luo Qi was still puzzled, Lu Mao reminded him quietly.

Rocky: ...

Not that Roach is forgetful, but he does like to call this Suzie the most invisible gang boss in Night City.

Grab a random passer-by, especially a resident far from Watson, and ask him who the boss of the Mox gang is.

Maybe the other party will pop out a "Litz" from his mouth.

that is the truth.

Ritz Bar, Ritz Bar.

Its one-time owner was nicknamed "Liz," like Suzanne's nickname was "Susie."

The riots that sparked a decade ago still shape the habits of many.

For example, calling the Mox gang "the Liz gang" is one of them.

However, this situation is somewhat related to the scale of Mox——

As a gang, their scale and territory, especially their property, are too small.

It is so small that if it is not fully armed, it will be rounded and flattened by the Tiger Claw Gang.

"So, what's your Suzie looking for from me?"

Luo Qi turned around in his head to confirm that he did not have any intersection with this gang.

But one thing must be admitted -

Their family's 18X Chaomeng is really exciting.

Luo Qi: cough cough cough...

Luo Qi suddenly felt a little stiff at the thought of Suzi by his side.

But the two sisters obviously didn't notice the subtle change in his eyes.

They looked around.

"It's not easy to talk here, let's change places?" Lumao suggested.

Rocky nodded.

What kind of excessive request is this, in other words, this is a very common behavior on the street, because some things really need to pay attention to the fact that walls have ears.

Watching Luo Qi hug and leave with the three girls, some licked their lips, some coughed loudly in disdain, and some had smirks on their faces hehehe...

This is the street, and not everyone is afraid of those powerful people.

As for the real so-called "Solo spirit" or just pretending to be nice, that's all.
