Monster Buster: One punch is really fun

Chapter 234 Cold Wave

There was a stab, and sparks flew.Zhao Jiuzhou raised his hand instantly with a quick reaction, and a blast of extremely cold inert gas spewed out from the surroundings, freezing the device that was about to explode.

In the small workshop on the third basement floor of the Wusundun safe house, Zhao Jiuzhou stood in front of the thick glass cover of the workbench, cursed me softly, then stretched out his hand from the sealed operating rubber sleeve, turned his head, and heard Footsteps came from behind.The dozens of battle robots behind him suddenly had red lights in their eyes, and they turned on the highest alert mode.

At this time, only someone from someone said lightly: "Master Zhao, if this goes on like this, there might be a big battle, don't you plan to take care of it?" The bright red eyes of dozens of robots switched immediately. Back to pale yellow, the small high-energy spirit pill laser cannon in his hand was also put down.

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Jiuzhou turned his head, looked at Mr. Fourteen, and said indifferently, "It's their own choice to fight, and it's their own choice not to fight. There are advantages to fighting. Anyway, as long as the knives don't fall on me, their life and death have nothing to do with me. I'm just Hall Master Zhao, not Alliance Master Zhao. Is it my turn to take care of those who are not right? Never mind, there are so many people in the world, will they all accept my favor?"

Mr. Fourteen was not in a hurry to answer, but he walked up to Zhao Jiuzhou unhurriedly, looked at the device inside the protective cover, smiled, and said, "Are you building that thing?"

"Yes." Zhao Jiuzhou nodded.

Mr. Fourteen said, "So what do you think?"

"I don't think much about it. The specific situation, the specific treatment, and whatever the world has become, I will use whatever method to deal with it. If it is chaotic, I will solve it according to the methods of the chaotic world. If it is not chaotic, I will follow the current rules. Deal with it. I’m only 21 anyway, and I have plenty of time. It’s nothing more than spending a little more time preparing something.”

Zhao Jiuzhou muttered, staring at the device inside the protective cover, and cursed again, "Damn, technical dating is really annoying. I've been trying for a month, and I can't do it in a laboratory environment. This thing is really Is the technology from 4000 years ago?"

"Human civilization has been interrupted several times." Mr. Fourteen explained, "Before Geng Jiangyue's era, there were three world wars. In one of them, the level of human technology retreated directly between agricultural civilization and industrial civilization."

Then I followed up with another sentence, "But you can afford to wait. You have a choice. Other people in this world are not like you. They have the ability and power to choose everything. What can ordinary people choose? It is nothing more than following the trend and following the trend. .”

Zhao Jiuzhou said: "Wherever the wind blows, people will fall."

Mr. Fourteen said: "Fall in the direction that is beneficial to them."

Zhao Jiuzhou asked again: "Then what about themselves?"

Mr. Fourteen smiled: "Are you one of them?"

Zhao Jiuzhou thought for a while, and then smiled, "It's hard to say, but do you know what is the biggest difference between me and those bastards from the Eight Silver Families and the Thirteen Golden Families?"

Mr. Fourteen asked, "What?"

Zhao Jiuzhou reached into the operating table again, and after the air-conditioning in the operating table dissipated, he picked up the tool again and soldered the circuit without fear of death, while saying: "The biggest difference between me and them is that I never lie. do as promised."

……

"Wages are paid, wages are paid!"

"Damn it! Why are there less?"

In the blink of an eye, at the end of November, Wutuo City in Anxi Prefecture was covered by heavy snow, and except for a very small number of personnel on duty in the headquarters building of Anximen sect, the rest were basically on holiday.On this day when the water was freezing and the water was freezing, Wei Mianzi, the co-rudder and co-rudder master of the third district of Wutuo City, unfortunately got the lottery on duty. At the end of the month, he had no chance to stay at home and make a baby with his little wife, so he could only stay in the office and follow The same unlucky colleague played chess.Fortunately, there is enough heating in the unit, and there is no shortage of food and drink, so life is not difficult.But it wasn't until after six o'clock in the evening that this month's salary came down, and Wei Mianzi saw that it was 300 yuan less than last month, and he immediately felt bad.

300 yuan ah!Temporary workers in Sheji City only pay 600 yuan a month!

Who do you think I am, Wei Mianzi?Don't know who my boss is?Dare to deduct my salary like this?
Don't I have to pay the mortgage? !
This is to prevent the majority of the cadres of the Silver Award Limeng from working! !

Wei Mianzi, who just settled down in Wutuo City and bought a small villa, was furious when he saw the number sent through the intranet of his work unit.He angrily knocked the water glass on the table, and the colleague next to him poked his head over. He was even more angry than Wei Mianzi, and shouted, "Why do you still have more than 2000 yuan? We have deducted it until there is no more than [-] yuan left!"

"Really?" When Wei Mianzi heard this, his anger disappeared immediately, and his heart was instantly balanced. Then he put on a look of worrying about the country and the people, and regained his composure and said calmly, "You said these two months What's the matter?"

"Ghost knows." The colleague said angrily, "I heard that in Sheji Prefecture, some units can't even pay their wages. Maybe it's because of the disconnection of the Internet. Many enterprises have shut down, and the local tax revenue cannot be paid."

"Not at all." Wei Mianzi rubbed his chin and said, "It's obvious that the production capacity of the crystal core is so high, and the growth rate of industrial output in the first half of the year is also normal. It shouldn't be so short of money..."

The colleague suddenly said: "Do you think it has something to do with the selection of the leader of the Golden League?"

"Is this next to each other?" Wei Mianzi immediately turned into a wise man, and disdainfully retorted to his colleagues, "He is separated from us by a sea, let alone choose a leader, he will be dead in the whole alliance, what does that have to do with us?" ?”

The colleague stared at Wei Mianzi's serious expression for a few seconds, then smiled, "Yes, indeed, it has nothing to do with us. Forget it, it's only a few hundred yuan, and it will be fine when the spring begins."

"Wait for spring...

……

This winter in the Silver League, it was so cold that it was abnormally cold.

At the end of November, energy prices began to rise even in Anxi Prefecture and Northwest Prefecture, where local finances were still relatively abundant. In order to ensure public heating, Mengtang reduced the benefits of apprentices and disciples in the system on a large scale, and almost all of them were used invisibly. elsewhere.The group of people in Anxi State and Northwest State are complaining, but anyone who knows what's going on in the world can still accept this situation in their hearts.Although the finances of Southeast and Nanzhou have deteriorated to a certain extent, because of the lower latitude, the temperature will not drop to the point where people can be frozen to death, and with the central financial subsidy of Baiyinmengmengtang, life can be lived.

However, the situation in Sheji Prefecture and Beiyuan Prefecture lacking these two is more critical.

Originally, in Sheji Prefecture, which had the best welfare benefits, only Sheji City was left to survive. The remaining 15 main rudders, since mid-November, there have been news of people freezing to death at night.Most of them are old people who came to Sheji Prefecture from other places to make a living when they were young, but they have never made a name for themselves, and they can't go back or stay.

There is no establishment and no money.

When they were discovered, they were basically alone, frozen hard in bed.

As for Beiyuan Prefecture, which is located on the border of the Baiyin League, such tragedies are relatively rare because of its high degree of institutionalization. big.

For the entire month of November, a large number of employees in various sects in North Yuan Prefecture, who had been cut off from the witcher subsidy before, organized a total of 16 strikes and parades, demanding that Mengtang restore the title subsidy of the witcher and release the crystal nucleus inventory , stabilize prices, raise wages, and so on and so forth.From the point of view of the League of Elders, the request is extremely excessive and outrageous.

So when the elders' house held a meeting, everyone scolded Beiyuanzhou as an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, which made Comrade Sun Mangong, the head of the Qinglong Hall under the League and the spokesperson of the Beiyuanzhou Group, look very ugly, and the venue was full of family separation. atmosphere.As the dog leg of the Nie family, Nie Zhiyuan couldn't control such a situation at all, his head was so big.

Of course, as the nominal boss of the Silver League, leader Nie must not just sit back and watch the Silver League split, he can only be nice and kind, and ask the eight major families to do their best to sell some crystal cores to the League at a fair price.Then the attitude of the eight major families is basically like this——

"Mengtang has difficulties, of course we are obliged to help, but we also have our own difficulties, we really have more than enough energy, we have to support our family, we also have to live..."

"The problem of the market should be left to the market to solve. The common people can't afford crystal cores, so where is the problem? The problem is not distribution, but the degree of openness of the market is not enough, and the production enthusiasm of the common people has not been fully mobilized!"

"Actually, the masses themselves have a solution to this problem. As long as you use your brains, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

Hearing this, Nie Zhiyuan wanted to fight those bastards one-on-one on the spot, but thinking that he hadn't earned enough, he gritted his teeth and endured it.So everyone discussed for a while, and the final conclusion was that the mining rights in the restricted area of ​​Zhongzhou had to be privatized more quickly.Next year, we will make persistent efforts to privatize another 10%, and strive to break through the half mark.As soon as the proposal came out, it was passed unanimously on the spot.

The originally tense scene at the scene immediately became warm and joyful.

"Oh, the common people are too miserable..." Yun Shu, who had just been promoted to the deputy head of the official affairs hall of Mengxia, came out of the venue, and said to his fourth uncle and head of the official affairs hall of Mengxia, Yun Zhongjun, "No matter how hard it is Go down, I think it's better to separate."

"Don't talk nonsense." Yun Zhongjun reprimanded angrily, "What good will it do us if we divide it? How much will the industrial products of Southeast and Nanzhou have to be sold at a higher price? At that time, no one will supply the military equipment... "

Yun Shu said: "With Minister Zhao here, who dares to touch us?"

"Minister Zhao is not the Minister Zhao of our family." Yun Zhongjun said, "In terms of relationship, the woman from the Liu family gave birth to him. No matter how close the relationship between Northwest State and Minister Zhao is, can they kiss the Liu family?"

Yun Shu thought for a while, then sighed, "Minister Zhao should come up soon..."

"It's fine to fight." Yun Zhongjun, "As long as the Golden League is in chaos and the guns are aimed at us, Minister Zhao will have a chance to come up."

"That said, it's better to divide it up." Yun Shu said, "At that time, we will follow Minister Zhao to fight for rebellion, Nanzhou, Southeast Prefecture and Southwest Prefecture, whichever we want..."

"What you can think of, others can't think of it?" Yun Zhongjun said with a serious face, "Now the major families are the ones who don't want to see the Silver League split up. If they split up, they will seek death. Childe and Tudor of the Golden League , Morgan and the others are not fools either. Now that they have 1 courage, they dare not really point their guns at the Silver League."

"Damn it." Yun Shu cursed, her plump three-tiered chin trembled like jelly, and spit thick phlegm on the clean and tidy Xuanshi Pavilion floor, "It's been a bunch of talk for a long time, just force it , don’t do it, I’ve been looking forward to making contributions for more than half a year.”

"Let's see the situation." Yun Zhongjun said, "Perhaps Director Zhao himself may have some thoughts in his heart. When the time comes..."

"Of course I will leave with Minister Zhao!" Yun Shu said bluntly.

A group of top leaders of the Silver League left from various entrances of Xuanshi Pavilion.

A few hours later, that night, a demon hunter riot suddenly broke out in the Xuanbing Cave in Beiyuan Prefecture.

It is said that during the parade, an unemployed middle-aged demon hunter suddenly discovered that his daughter was providing special services to a certain second generation in the carriage. After losing his mind, he rushed into the car and chopped down Xuanbing who was enjoying the service. The son of a hall master under the cave gate,

After the incident, the Golden League naturally condemned the Silver League without saying a word.It's a pity that the Baiyin League's network was cut off, and the common people didn't know anything about it. Thanks to the blessing of "Ruan Jie's curse spirit body", a crisis was virtually eliminated.

"The massacre in the Xuanbing Cave of the Baiyin League has caused a large number of local casualties. Under the high-handed dictatorship of the Baiyin Award Limeng Hall, the lives of the people of the Baiyin League have fallen into extreme poverty..."

Sitting in the ambassador's office of the embassy, ​​Zhao Jiuzhou was holding tea, watching the provocative Golden League morning news on the video screen, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Really Nima can talk nonsense...

Outside Hualun Tianlong City, how many people have died this month, don't you Golden League have any clues in your mind?The scene of the 300 people in the Silver League is placed on the side of the Golden League, which is more difficult to make a living. Isn't that a younger brother?

"Human society is really disgusting..."

Underground on Love Black Ding Island, Marco watched the content in the news, his eyes were full of indifference to the world.

Tian Yuan continued: "It's just a comparison, it has always been like this from ancient times to the present."

Marco didn't answer the call and changed the channel.

On another channel, one of the candidates for the next leader of the Golden League, the live broadcast station under the control of the former deputy commander of the Golden Army Von Del, is breaking news about another candidate, the current acting leader Clark Tudor.

"Clark Tudor, who reported the crime of prostitution with a young girl, withdrew his prosecution yesterday. We have reason to believe that the girl's parents were personally threatened by Clark Tudor..."

Marco glanced and changed another channel.

On this channel, the live broadcast station under the control of Clark Tudor is scolding Vondel.

"During Vondel's tenure, the military expenditure of the Golden Army was [-]% higher than in previous years on average. Several senior officers of the Golden Army promoted by Vondel are currently being investigated by the Investigation Bureau of the Golden Alliance Church..."

Ma Ke directly turned off the video screen.

The entire underground intelligence room was plunged into deep darkness.

Tian Yuan didn't speak, and Ma Ke was also silent.

After being quiet for a long time, Marco's voice sounded in the darkness: "Elder, will this world be okay? If one day we become the rulers of this world, will there still be new eight families of silver and silver, gold Thirteen families appear?"

"Perhaps..." Tian Yuan said, "But the problem now is not the oppression of half-monsters by humans?"

Marco fell silent again.

After an unknown amount of time, the cleaner at the secret base turned on the lights in the intelligence room.

Tian Yuan narrowed his eyes and turned his head, only to find that Marco had disappeared...

……

"Come without a shadow, go without a trace..." In Heishui City, the main rudder of Heishui, Sheji Prefecture, in the residential building of a certain non-commissioned officer in a certain community, the former head of the security department of the Baiyin League who was restored to public office, is now demoted to the Guard Hall of the Sheji Society Lu Dingyi, the deputy hall master, followed by a large group of policemen, squatted in front of a corpse that had been sucked dry, muttering with a headache.

Beside him, Sun Jian'an, the retired former head of the official affairs hall of the League, came over on behalf of the Sun family. He looked around the house and looked around, but he couldn't see anything. He just said, "It's the eighth one, has it spread?"

"There is no network, and there is no record of large recharge under the account name..."

After seeing the corpse, Lu Ding stood up and said in a deep voice, "This cursed spirit body is probably mutated."

"Mutation?" Sun Jian'an's eyes changed.

Lu Dingyi thought for a while, and then changed his words: "It may not be correct to talk about mutation, it should be evolution. According to rumors, every time the curse spirit body appears, tens of millions of people can't stop it. This 'Ruan' The Jieju spirit body' should be developing from a nascent state to a stronger stage, and it should be entering the developmental stage."

"puberty?"

"Yes, the developmental stage, then enters the mature stage, and maybe a few more steps later, to become a complete body, an ultimate body..."

"Stop it." Sun Jian'an raised his hand and looked at Lu Dingyi, "According to the information from the Golden League, Tang Wei fought this monster once and was seriously injured. It's already so powerful at the developmental stage. Minister Zhao can't even deal with it?"

"Elder, actually Minister Zhao..." Lu Dingyi hesitated to speak.

Sun Jianan asked, "What happened to Minister Zhao?"

"I heard that Minister Zhao has already fought this monster." Lu Ding said, "Last month, the fourth wife of the Zhao family was filming in Sheji City and played that game. We also found her login record. Use It was the account of a young fresh meat actor. Later, I heard that there was a very violent psychic fluctuation on the set, and the mourning hall management department of Sheji City also observed it. According to the people on the set at the time, Minister Zhao appeared suddenly , it may be that Minister Zhao saved the fourth lady..."

Sun Jian'an said: "You mean, this monster slipped away under Zhao Jiuzhou's hands?"

"Well, it can be said so." Lu Ding said, "Otherwise, with Director Zhao's temper, as long as he can kill this monster, this monster will never survive."

Sun Jian'an's face turned pale when he heard it, and after a few seconds, he hurriedly warned Lu Ding: "This news must not be leaked!"

Lu Dingyi straightened his chest and said seriously, "Yes!"

……

Two days later...

"Have you heard? Cursed spirit body..."

"real or fake?"

"It's absolutely true! Minister Zhao made a move, but he didn't win! And it was spread through the Internet..."

"Fuck, no wonder the internet is disconnected!"

"Let no one live..."

"Have you paid your heating bill this month?"

At the beginning of December, rumors spread everywhere in the states and factions of the Baiyin League, and the people of the whole league were panicked.

The Information Hall of the League urgently refuted the rumors, and the female anchor Li Ying broadcasted it 24 hours a day across the League: "Recently, there have been rumors about monsters invading the Baiyin League network. It is a fabrication. The main reason for the disconnection of the Baiyin League's network recently is the cyber attack launched by the relevant halls against our league, which caused our league's network to be monitored and seriously affected the safety of the league. Make rumors, don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors. The Guard Hall of the Baiyin League will do its utmost to ensure the personal safety of the people of the league at all times..."

However, the more rumors are refuted in this way, the more problematic it will appear in the eyes of ordinary people.

A group of social celebrities had nothing to do, so they took the opportunity to jump out to catch the heat.

The cemetery brother Wu Heming's brain was hot, and he jumped directly to the external website to speak: "Although we have become the most powerful alliance hall on the planet, we are no longer the dough that people kneaded in the past, but when disaster strikes, can we be more powerful?" Be brave and honest, give up meaningless cover-ups, bow to the world without cowardice or arrogance, and say: I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

As soon as this remark came out, the Golden League immediately cheered and ecstatic.

The Silver League recognized it!
The Silver League recognized it!
That's right!They made this monster!

It has nothing to do with our Golden League!
Wu Heming's speech on the extranet was reposted all over the place overnight by the consulting department of the Golden League.

Nie Zhiyuan saw it in Xuanshi Pavilion and almost died of cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

Even Zhao Jiuzhou couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw it.

Wo Nima...

Brother Graveyard, what's going on in your brain, that you can say such words?

Without further ado, Zhao Jiuzhou picked up the phone and called the information hall of Baiyin League, "I'm Zhao Jiuzhou, looking for Ji Bochang!"

In less than half a minute, Ji Bochang, the head of the information hall under the League, quickly connected Zhao Jiuzhou's phone, and asked tremblingly, "Minister Zhao...what's the matter?"

"Don't worry about it, listen to me, I want you to announce to the public right now that the case of the cursed spirit body broke out here, just kill the cursed spirit body, and then find someone to write a soft article, demanding the recovery of the demon hunter and the mystic master status treatment."

"Minister Zhao, leader Nie has to agree to such a big matter..."

"I ally you, Old Mu! Listen to me! Nie Zhiyuan dares to touch you!" Zhao Jiuzhou hung up the phone aggressively.

After a few seconds, he suddenly grinned again.Just kidding, if you don't seize such a good opportunity to restore your status as a mystic master, you'd be an idiot.In this way, he not only automatically obtained the natural legal status of "Mystery Master" as the successor of the leader of the Silver League, but he could also win over the group of demon hunters of the Silver League by the way.

Minister Zhao saw that he was one step closer to Leader Zhao.

"It's really gratifying..."

Seeing the snow falling all over the sky outside, Zhao Jiuzhou said happily.
