Starting from the lifting of human restrictions

Chapter 191 Active Arms
After nightfall, Xiping District and Xiushui District seem to be in different worlds.

Xiushui District at night is already quiet, except for a few dim street lights on the main road, it is pitch black and lifeless, like a dead zone.

As for Xiping District, it was bustling right now.The lights are bright everywhere, people are coming and going, all kinds of high-end luxury cars are shuttling, and there is a lot of noise and excitement.

This is the place where the rich and powerful live. The streets are clean and tidy. Rich people in bright clothes go to various high-end entertainment venues. Young girls wear colorful dresses and talk and laugh. The entire city is full of prosperity.

With such a noisy and prosperous night market, it is almost unbelievable that there is a decadent and dirty slum a few miles away.

At the intersections of these busy streets, you can see some fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers everywhere, some are unkempt, some are begging around, some are wearing white-washed clothes, humbly opening the door and running errands for some rich men who get on and off luxury cars, or they are facing some unknown people. The real outsider sells all kinds of weird second-hand gadgets, and occasionally gets a tip, and immediately looks around with his head, and stuffs them into his underwear pocket without a trace.

In the section of the most prosperous business district in Xiping District, there is an extremely lively and wide square, crowded with people and coming and going.

In the middle of the square, a large holographic screen with a length and width of tens of meters is attracting the attention of people, and the high-end sound effects are rumbling in all directions.

On the big screen at this time, two steel and metal figures, one black and one white, are running and changing movements on various complex terrains. The two-meter-long epee and the giant spear made of pure steel are constantly clashing, and the tyrannical force bursts out piercingly. There was a crashing sound, and sparks shot out.

Every fierce confrontation caused the crowd in the square to burst into exclamation, and they gasped and held their breath when encountering critical situations.

When Yang Chu was two streets away from the commercial square in Xiping District, he could vaguely hear the rumbling sound and the sound of the crowd.

Xiushui District and Xiping District are adjacent, but the conditions are very different.

The same street in Xiushui District is dirty and muddy, exuding a stench, and from time to time, huge mice will pop out from the dark corners, rummaging for food unscrupulously.

The streets of Xiping District where he is now are clean and tidy, with neon street lights on both sides of the road brightly illuminated.

However, on the street where he is at the moment, there are not many pedestrians coming and going.Except for some homeless people hiding in the shadows, most of the people seemed to be attracted by the loud noise in the distant square.

"I don't know who won this time?"

Walking alone on the street, Yang Chu felt a little excited when he heard the noise coming from afar.

The popularity of the Active Armed Contest is beyond imagination. It is said that there will be top mechanics from the Federation participating, and those players who have won high rankings may also be recruited by the Federation's special forces.

Many talented but penniless people at the bottom can also use this to achieve class leapfrogging.

"oops!"

Walking briskly beside Yang Chu, all he could think about was the details of the Armed Forces Contest. Suddenly, a figure hurried out from the corner of the street and touched Yang Chu.

Yang Chu turned his head to look sideways, and under the neon yellow street lights, he saw clearly that it was a man in a black windbreaker.His hair was disheveled and his head hung low.

Sensing Yang Chu looking at him, the man suddenly raised his head, revealing a pale face, and looked at Yang Chu gloomyly.

"This man's eyes seem to pierce."

Yang Chu was swept away by the other party's gaze, and felt that the other party's gaze was as real as if it was about to pierce someone, so he subconsciously turned his head away.

The pale man looked at Yang Chu, frowned unconsciously, lowered his head slightly, turned up the collar of his windbreaker, and walked past Yang Chu quickly.

"No shoes."

Passing by this pale man, Yang Chu inadvertently caught a glimpse of the man's bare feet under his trousers, feeling a little strange in his heart.

The other party's clothes looked good, but barefoot was still somewhat weird.

There is a big gap between the rich and the poor in the Federation, but even the homeless can find some cheap second-hand and third-hand shoes to wear.

But Yang Chu didn't think much about it, his curiosity was quickly diluted by the increasingly fierce voices coming from the direction of the commercial square in Xiping District, he took a step and trot towards the square.

On the square, there was a large crowd of people, densely packed with maybe tens of thousands of people from different places, blocking all the intersections of the block tightly.

"Boom--"

A deafening roar erupted from the giant stereo with excellent sound effects in the middle of the square. On the two buildings with a height of [-] floors, on the huge screen, the battle between the two mobile armed mechs has reached a fever pitch. It touches the hearts of all who watch it.

The two active armed mechas are about [-] to [-] meters. The active armed is a small individual mecha. It is flexible and compact, and it is more similar to a person wearing steel armor. The exoskeleton extends, not only can ignore ordinary physics Damage, and greatly improved in strength and agility.

The two active armed mechas did not use any hot weapons in the battle. The cold weapons danced and rotated extremely fiercely. The impact of huge force caused dust to fly around, and the momentum was astonishing.

The battles in this virtual network are extremely realistic, and people watching from the big screen can hardly tell whether it is virtual or real.

"What a powerful manipulative technique. It is indeed a figure who can reach the top ten in the active armed competition. I am afraid that it is not much better than those active armed divisions in the military."

"Hey, you're right, maybe it's someone from the military, tsk tsk, how can ordinary people learn such skills."

"That's not necessarily the case. It means that our southern province has no news and backward development. In other places, active armed schools have long been seen. I heard that there are many retired military officers."

Yang Chu rushed left and right to occupy a place in the crowd, and there were a few discussions in his ears from time to time. Looking at the video played on the huge screen tens of meters long and wide, his heart was surging and he was extremely excited.

The black active armed mecha on the screen leaped up, its figure was strong and agile like a beast hunting prey, and it struck down with a terrifying momentum.

After watching for a while, Yang Chu could tell that this active armed manipulator's movements were obviously faster and faster, every movement was crisp and agile, and between movements and movements, all his moves were killer moves.

"Bang bang bang" in a series of explosions, Yang Chu could already see that the weapon in the black mecha's hand pierced the vitals of the opponent's white active armour. Slowly became illusory and disappeared on the spot.

"It's really amazing. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to control the mecha one day?"

Yang Chu's eyes widened and he muttered to himself. Although it wasn't a close-up experience, the image transmitted from the lock on the big screen of the whole system still shocked him very much.Wei Wei clenched her fists, feeling like a fire was burning in her body, her blood was boiling.

……

Two hours later, the screen on the large screen on the outer wall of the high-rise building switched, and after playing more than a dozen boring advertisements, it gradually went dark.

The dense crowd in the square has gradually dispersed, leaving the ground in a mess.

Some uniformed policemen and security personnel on the corner of the street watched the crowd gradually disperse, shouted and boarded their vehicles, and began to patrol other blocks.

Standing in a corner in the middle of the square, Yang Chu licked his lips, his eyes showed nostalgia, and he left Xiping District Commercial Plaza with some reluctance.

It is really rare to be able to watch such a wonderful event. Even the square in Xiping District will broadcast it for free almost once a month.

Most of what you see through mobile phones and other devices are videos recorded by other people. With Yang Chu's financial ability, he can't afford the real paid game viewing.

In such an era, the gap between the rich and the poor and regional development differences have reached unprecedented levels.The poor people at the bottom of one end are still struggling on the verge of food and clothing, while the people at the other end are already using the latest virtual technology glamorously, and their high-end combat power is entering the era of the big universe.

The rapid development of science and technology will promote the development of all human societies, but the fruits of this development have been proved to never benefit everyone.

The crowd in the commercial plaza gradually dissipated. Yang Chu walked back along the way he came here in a depressed mood. Along the way, he could still see groups of people walking together in twos and threes. Many young people were excitedly gesticulating and discussing with each other. Only then can the armed contest be launched.Shouting loudly, what if I can be an active armed warrior.

Passing through the last intersection in Xiping District, the flat street gradually became chaotic. There were many signs of damage to the street lamps on both sides, flickering and dimming. The building is like a lurking beast in the dark, with its mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to come.

chug, chug—

There was a sudden roar of a motor motor, Yang Chu looked back and saw a black armored vehicle rumbling towards this side like a night-running beast on the brightly lit road.

"Is there still a car entering Xiushui District so late?"

Seeing the black armored vehicle getting closer and closer, Yang Chu felt suspicious.

Xiushui District is a well-known slum area. The streets are congested and dirty, and the people living at the lowest level live there. Not to mention at night, even during the day, except for some large garbage trucks, few armored vehicles will enter. .

The powerful roar of the motor was carried far away on the street. The black armored car was moving very fast, and it reached the intersection in a blink of an eye. Suddenly, a flicking tire rubbed against the ground, making a screeching sound, and stopped.

With the light of the street lamp, Yang Chu could clearly see that the black armored vehicle was nearly two meters high, covered with a layer of outer alloy iron frame, the wheels were wide and thick, and there were obvious traces of modification from top to bottom.

Such an armored vehicle is rare even in Xiping District. The young people on the street who were about to return to Xiushui District were immediately attracted by the armored vehicle, and all of them stopped in their tracks.

With a muffled "bang", the door of the armored vehicle opened, and a tall, cold-faced young woman stepped out of the vehicle, wearing a tight black leather jacket and high boots, her gestures were extremely capable and sassy.

On her waist, a bulging gun holster hung conspicuously, which added a little bit of coolness.

The woman in black leather glanced lightly at the stopped crowd at the intersection of the two urban areas, frowned slightly, and asked coldly, "You all live in Xiushui District?"

A few quick-responsive young people heard the woman in black leather's question and nodded quickly, with a slightly flinching expression, apparently overwhelmed by the tall armored vehicle and the cold aura of the woman.

"Have you noticed any strangers appearing lately?" The woman in black leather asked again with cold eyes.

The people who stopped at the street looked around, and shook their heads to indicate that they hadn't seen it before. Xiushui District is not big in the first place, and it is at the bottom level. Almost all the people living in it have grown up since they were young, and they can detect any new faces at a glance. .

"No?" The woman in black leather looked thoughtful, she seemed to think of something, she waved her hands and said, "Okay, you can go." Then she turned and got on the tall and mighty armored vehicle.

Yang Chu shrunk his neck and stood on the edge of the street corner, looking at the direction the armored vehicle was leaving, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The woman in black leather had a cold and glamorous demeanor, just standing there gave off a cold feeling, and anyone could guess that she had an extraordinary background.

It's just that the other party's question is also very strange, and I can't figure out whether there are strangers in Xiushui District, who would know in such a bad place.

"I don't know who this woman is, is she from the Police Department?" Yang Chu touched his forehead, and suddenly felt a little swollen between his brows.

After entering Xiushui District, the crowd returning from Xiping District gradually dispersed to various chaotic roads. Yang Chu usually knew very few people, so he hung alone at the end of the crowd.

"Chi" gasped, Yang Chu suddenly staggered and felt dizzy, and the stinging pain between his eyebrows recurred without warning.

"Why did it start to hurt again?!"

Yang Chu covered his head with his hands, his cheeks twitched slightly, "It seems to be the sequelae of manipulating coins during the day."

A plastic bottle on the side of the road was kicked away, and the sound of ping-pong spread along the dark and chaotic streets to the distance.

Yang Chu patted his forehead lightly, his chest rose and fell, and he took a few deep breaths.

During this period of time, Yang Chu has known that even though he can only occasionally manipulate a coin, every time he uses his mind power, his body will experience some symptoms of discomfort.Physical exhaustion, headaches, nosebleeds, and hallucinations.

Although it is only a small coin, the body will still feel a lot of discomfort after using it.After manipulating coins in class during the day, I didn't feel any abnormality yet, but I didn't expect it to happen suddenly at this time.

"Fortunately, it's now. If I had a headache earlier, I'm afraid the Armed Forces Contest wouldn't be able to be watched."

Although the headache was painful, Yang Chu gradually got used to it, but it appeared from time to time during this period, he let out a sigh of relief, and waited for this round of headache to pass.

Rubbing the temples on both sides of the head, feeling that the headache seemed to be relieved a bit, Yang Chucai stood up straight, took out the coin with smooth corners from his pocket, flicked his fingers lightly, and the coin suddenly looked like It was drawn by an invisible line and suspended in the air two or three centimeters away from the palm.There must be a price to be paid for using mind power.

He took out the extremely shiny coin from his pocket, flipped it lightly with his fingers, and the coin was immediately suspended in the air two or three centimeters away from his palm.

Looking at the hanging coin, Yang Chu muttered in a low voice, "It seems to be a little more relaxed, but it's just that I can move a small coin, which is useless."

For Yang Chu, this power of thought is just a new and fun thing.With this little ability, he can't do anything else. It's not as useful as he picked up some more salable scraps at the garbage dump.

"However, if one day the time is longer and the moving things are heavier, then it seems to be useful." Yang Chu thought to himself, just like the electric skateboard that was snatched by Lao Shuitou today. , it can be directly collected in the bag, and no one can snatch it away.

Moreover, if the power of thought is really strong, is it still necessary to continue picking up scraps to supplement the needs of life?
While Yang Chu was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a footstep.

Yang Chu was slightly startled, shook hands and put away the coin, and saw a person walking out from the shadow of the street corner, blocking him.
