Monster Buster: One punch is really fun

Chapter 224 Winter ([-])

The first snow in 2025 in Hualun Tianlong City's global calendar came earlier than before.

The PanOceanic Fleet, which was docked in Hualun Tianlong City International Port, entered the dock early for winter rest, and also took away the last ray of life of those lucky people on the rainforest continent.

When cold, hunger, and safety issues intertwine, ordinary people no longer have the energy to manage those demon hunters and miners far away across the ocean.Even the half-monster demon hunters hurriedly boarded the return ship and hurriedly evacuated the Rainforest City before the sea was blocked by ice and snow.Although they are not afraid of monster attacks, their supplies are limited.

After all, just like ordinary humans, half-monsters can't resist eating monster meat directly.

However, during the freezing period of the Rainforest Continent, no one has ever reasoned with others. No one knows how long it will be frozen.No one would take a big risk and airdrop supplies to them.The sky in winter is more dangerous than the land.

At the end of September on the global Gregorian calendar, all international flights around the world are grounded.

On the vast sea, there are also ships rushing home.

In all parts of Beiyuan Prefecture of the Baiyin League, people immediately entered the rush to buy supplies, and they wanted to stay at home until the rhythm of spring.

A little further south, although the residents of Sheji Prefecture were not so exaggerated, the breath of winter still seemed to permeate every corner of the whole prefecture overnight.

Even though this year's materials are obviously much more expensive than last year, relying on the distribution mechanism of the powerful system of the Silver League, more than half of the common people in the Silver League have not encountered a real crisis of survival. At most, they have complained more. The number of batches included has increased.In the winter season, children can still laugh and laugh, and the days of dire straits only exist in the foreign alliance news on the live broadcast station of the Information Hall, and a very small number of people outside the system in Southeast and Southern states.

In Zijin City, a very small number of people began to live in bridge openings with a very low level of security.

After September, and into October, the Zijin City Police Department will receive reports of monsters eating people almost every day, and even at certain times, there are so many homeless people in Zijin City that they can’t even live in the bridge hole , They will smash their cans and smash them, and simply live in the "mining area"-the so-called mining area is a large area of ​​artificially vacant communities.

These vacant human communities are most likely to breed low-level monsters. Mengtang regards these communities as "man-made forbidden areas" and sends people in to "mining" them on time, as a supplement to the shortage of local crystal core energy.

In the earliest years when the Baiyin League was established, such "artificial no-go zones" were strictly prohibited by the League.It wasn't until a small portion of the shares in the Zhongzhou restricted area were privatized, and the eight major families and the hundred families that depended on them rose, that this kind of "man-made restricted area" slowly emerged.In the beginning, these man-made no-go zones were only allowed to be placed far away from residential areas, on the edge of deserts, uninhabited Gobi, and deserted islands in the sea.But later the power of the eight major families grew, and the demand for energy outside the system also increased.

On the surface, people only see great contradictions inside and outside the system.

But in fact, it is the eight major families who have gradually controlled the power of the League. It is their own interests that have conflicted with the overall interests of the Silver League.Under such circumstances, the eight major families, which hold the right to speak and make decisions, gradually made Mengtang make changes beneficial to itself in the name of all the people through changes in laws and rules.

A large number of man-made forbidden areas, in the form and name of public ownership, are increasingly appearing near big cities, but the actual dominance is always firmly in the hands of the eight major families.Every year, the crystal nuclei produced in these forbidden areas, how to distribute and how much to distribute, are decided by the family children sitting in high positions in the alliance hall.

Of course, in order to deceive people, some crystal nuclei did enter the hands of various sects, entered the community, entered the residential area, and walked into the street to enter the house. It seems that the common people have also gained great benefits.Especially in Sheji City, where the League Mansion is located, the ordinary people in the city also enjoy the social development dividends of the big family's growth.

Later, people slowly began to get used to the existence of these "vacant communities".

The man-made no-go zone began to enter the city and enter the main city in a grandiose manner.

When Marci's predecessor, Sun League Leader, came to power, these no-go areas even appeared in Sheji City, the prefecture of the League.

The needs of the Eight Great Families for crystal nuclei even surpassed Mengtang's attitude towards human life.

The common people living in the city can only pretend not to see all this.

Then slowly, people really don't care about these restricted areas...

And with the development of psychic weapons, this kind of vigilance against potential life dangers has become more and more dull.So dull that as long as it is not him who dies, it will be commonplace for all accidents, and it will not be surprising.

All media reports on such news in the past 30 years can only be described in two words: numb.

"Outside the gate of No. [-] restricted area in Nancheng District [-] of Zijin City, a male corpse with a missing lower body appeared yesterday. According to the investigation by Police Officer Cao from the Spiritual Biological Case Investigation Division of the Police Department, the man suspected of breaking into the restricted area for the night due to violation of regulations. Was attacked by monsters in the forbidden area. During the escape process, he was exhausted and was overtaken by monsters, which led to tragedy. Officer Cao reminded the residents that the nights are long and the days are short in winter, and the vitality of monsters increases. Residents should consciously stay away from the forbidden area area, ensure your own safety..."

"Damn it, if you're so rich, who would live in an empty house in the no-go zone? Now the bridge openings are not allowed to sleep, saying it's affecting the city's appearance, and these dog officials in Zijin City are so fucking unreasonable." ..."

Xiao Dongchen was eating breakfast, watching the news, cursing non-stop.

Mr. Fourteen was very calm and said calmly: "Many years ago, when winter came, everyone had to live in a super building for the whole winter to avoid the attacks of monsters. But every winter, many people still die in the The mouth of the monster. It has been like this for thousands of years. Zijin City is like this, so is Sheji City, and Hualun Tianlong City is even worse."

Xiao Dongchen smiled coldly, "Is it worse?"

"Just telling a fact." Mr. Fourteen said, "You are not satisfied, do you have a solution?"

Xiao Dongchen thought for a while, then shook his head.

Mr. Fourteen said: "You have no choice, those rulers in Zijin City, they have no better way, at least half of them can live a good life now, it's better than all starving and freezing together, being treated by monsters It is better not to kill the prey."

"Tch." Xiao Dongchen pursed his lips, "Anyway, those dog officials don't have a good thing."

Mr. Fourteen smiled, "I didn't say they were good things."

……

"Ah Choo!" Han Mingming sneezed, spitting on half of Zhao Jiuzhou's dining table.

In the early morning, at the beginning of seven o'clock, Han Mingming forcibly resisted his biological clock, and ran to Zhao Jiuzhou's home at No. 48 Embassy Street, Hualun Tianlong City, to have breakfast.At the time when Hualun Tianlong City was short of supplies, the ordinary breakfast at Zhao Jiuzhou's family seemed extraordinarily rich. 16 varieties of breakfast meals of various colors cover the table to the brim.

The four mistresses of the family, including Mimi, plus five children, sat around the table, eating quickly and quietly.Little Zhao Yanwu, who Liu Yifei had just unloaded, was held in Liu Yifei's arms and slept soundly.

"I'm stupid...!" Han Mingming was in a hurry, and under Liu Yifei's unfriendly gaze, he quickly took the part of the snack plate that was polluted by himself to him, and hurriedly made up for it, "I'm here, these are all mine... "

"Forget it, it's almost time to eat."

Zhao Jiuzhou casually threw half of the deep-fried stick in his hand aside, Liu Yanyan hugged Xiao Si'an, got up and left without saying a word.Liu Yifei also snorted coldly, took her three children, followed by a large group of Xiaobai and Guzhu, and turned to go outside the house.

After one and a half months, Zhao Jiuzhou's ultra-long-distance teleportation array in Hualun Tianlong City has been set up.

Whether Liu Yanyan came from Wusundun, or Mimi came from Zijin City, everything was convenient, but the travel expenses equivalent to several million silver coins were spent every day to go back and forth, which was a bit expensive.

But this is An An's request. Liu Yanyan and Mimi must come to see Zhao Jiuzhou every day.

Otherwise, where is the authority of the head of the family?

An An herself didn't have this need. She would always be there wherever Zhao Jiuzhou was.But Liu Yifei was a little more special, with three children, he felt that the house at No. 48 on Embassy Street was too small, so he simply lived in the Liu family's manor in Hualun Tianlong City.

All in all, with more and more people in the family, Zhao Jiuzhou really felt that it was not easy to manage.

Fortunately, An An helped him watch them.

The people at the table quickly evacuated.

Mimi left behind Liu Yanyan, and An An also went upstairs with the crown.

The servants quickly emptied the dishes on the table and cleaned them up neatly.

In less than 5 minutes, only Zhao Jiuzhou and Han Mingming were left in the small restaurant.

Then two cups of tea were served, and Zhao Jiuzhou said lightly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal..."

Han Mingming rubbed his hands, his body was exhausted, but his eyes were full of excitement, "The price of the crystal core of the Golden League is about to skyrocket. Now Hualun Tianlong City's daily security energy demand is short by more than ten tons The crystal nucleus, the Tudor family and the Childe family are willing to pay five times the price for our crystal nucleus..."

"Aren't they losing money?" Zhao Jiuzhou asked.

"It's not a loss." Han Mingming said, "They want as much as we have. The Tudor family is in the energy business, and [-]% of the crystal core converter units of the entire Golden League are in the hands of their family. The price of retail energy can be sold at a higher price. The robots of the Childe family are doing very well now, but they lack energy.

Recently, monster attacks in the Golden League have become more and more frequent. All private and alliance institutions need their robots. They can just take advantage of the closure of the Xu family's business department in the Golden League to expand their market share.

This period of time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both the Tudor family and the Childe family.There are some small families in the Golden League who can hardly stand it anymore. There are more and more poor ghosts in the Golden League who can’t afford their goods. Those small families will have to sell their assets after a while. The Tudor family and the Childe family are just right. You can pick up the plate at a low position..."

"What the hell, you are so warm-hearted. You came all the way here to work for the Tudor family and the Childe family?" Zhao Jiuzhou stared at Han Mingming and laughed, "You can also get a lot of money, right?"

"A little bit." Han Mingming grinned, and made a gesture of "a little bit" with his thumb and index finger.

"Ask Luo Beikong for it." Zhao Jiuzhou stood up and said in a nonchalant manner, "He should still have some in stock. If not, I'll go to Wusun Dun tomorrow to get some."

Tomorrow Wednesday, according to family rules, it was his turn to sleep with Liu Yanyan.On the way, go to the west room on the fourth floor of the old wooden house in Wusun Dun to get some crystal cores.Simple things that take less effort than sleeping.

Han Mingming thanked him immediately.

Zhao Jiuzhou didn't mess with him, put on a coat, took Qiuqiu and pheasant, and went out alone.

As a visiting professor of Hualun Tianlongcheng Academy, he will go to the academy once a week to teach young people from all over the world, and guide the construction of Hualun Tianlongcheng's super-large city shield.

Han Mingming chased him out diligently, but was directly driven away by Zhao Jiuzhou.

Zhao Jiuzhou got into the carriage, drove by himself, accelerated a few steps on the street of Embassy Street, and the car flew steadily into the sky.

Han Mingming stood at the bottom and looked at it, admiring him from the bottom of his heart, "As expected of Hall Master Zhao, he can even play with the Pegasus carriage. Look at how handsome the carriage is flying, isn't it?"

The cute little maid of the Zhao family looked at Han Mingming's obsequious look, and didn't even want to pay attention, so she turned around and went back to the house.

Han Mingming was left standing in the snow, quiet for a moment, and could only dodge despondently.

While running into his own car, he dialed Luo Beikong's phone number, "Hello, Deacon Luo, it's me, Xiao Han..."

Han Mingming, who wore two general stars on his shoulders, yelled at Major Luo Beikong on the other end of the phone.

Sincerely, no face...

……

Hualun Tianlong City is very large, comparable to Sheji City.

Zhao Jiuzhou's Pegasus carriage flew in the sky for 15 minutes before flying from one end of the city to the other.

A moment later, Zhao Jiuzhou came out of the carriage parking lot of Hualun Tianlongcheng Academy.Qiuqiu and the pheasant chirped, playing and fighting endlessly behind him.It was rare for Zhao Jiuzhou not to use the ability to levitate and fly. He deliberately stepped on the snow all over the ground, listening to the creaking sound, and headed towards the teaching building with a childlike innocence.

When passing through a large and extravagant open space, the surroundings of the school suddenly sounded a long siren.

Woo~~~~!

Zhao Jiuzhou raised his hand to check the time, it was early eight o'clock in the morning.

This is the sleep time of normal people, making this kind of noise, is it plausible?

At the same time, in Habswaite Palace, a king demon hunter wearing a purple-gold battle robe rushed into the office of the acting lord with cold sweat, and shouted at the acting lord Clark Tudor: "Mr. lord! Confirmed! Cursed spirit body! It is the cursed spirit body!"
