After the Skyfall

Chapter 332 Instigation
In a corner of the city, there is a scrap bar, which got its name because it was opened on a street where scrap was purchased.

At this moment, many gang members from the Waste City District gathered in the Scrap Bar. The bosses of each gang were all there, and they were waiting here for only one purpose, because Hongzhen from the Mom Gang told them that someone could take them to obtain genetic potions and make a fortune.

Hong Zhen did not tell anyone that Li Yi was going to rush into the Hope Building, because if this matter were to be made public, someone would definitely inform on Jones, the person in charge of the Hope Building.

In order to ensure the implementation of the plan, she still put some thought into it.

The reason why she was so willing to cooperate with Li Yi was because she saw something called hope in Li Yi.

"Hongzhen, how long do you want us to wait? Where is the person who can provide the genetic potion you mentioned? Tell him to get out right away."

A burly man with a mechanical eye had a hot temper and couldn't help but slap the table and said.

The powerful force left a deep palm print on the metal table.

His name is Black Stone. He is not only a gang leader but also a level 4 genetic warrior. Among many gang leaders, his strength is considered the strongest. However, he was injured, blinded an eye, and missing a leg. Although he has mechanical prostheses, they are cheap ones and can only guarantee his basic life. There is no way for him to fully restore his strength.

"Only the Gene Federation has genetic potions. A strange genetic warrior who came to Philadelphia wants to sell us a batch of genetic potions. It sounds a bit strange. Hongzhen, you are not lying to us, are you? If I find out you are playing tricks, I will not let your mother help you."

The man who was speaking was tall and thin, wearing a pair of sunglasses. He was sitting at the bar, playing with a dagger in his hand.

His name is Kefei, and he is also a fourth-level gene warrior. However, when he used the gene potion, he did not have the money to buy enough gene enhancers, resulting in incomplete gene awakening. As a result, even though he became a fourth-level gene warrior, his strength was at the bottom.

Almost all the genetic warriors in Philadelphia are disabled, because a strong and promising genetic warrior will not be the boss of a gang here.

Hong Zhen sat aside and drank the wine with a strange taste. She said, "Can you be a little patient? The people will be here soon. Why are you in such a hurry? Besides, aren't you usually busy? You just have nothing to do. I asked you to come here today to give you a chance. Don't be ungrateful. If you are impatient, you can leave now. I won't tolerate you."

"Hongzhen, how can you talk like that? Do you think you are still a level 4 gene warrior? Believe it or not, I will not let you leave here." Heishi said with some anger.

Although he is physically disabled, he is a level 4 genetic warrior after all.

"If you dare to do it, just try it. Let's see who dies, me or you." Hong Zhen's face twitched, and the three scars looked particularly hideous, like a ferocious beast with bared fangs.

"Heishi, kill her, I can help you." Kefei on the side grinned and encouraged Heishi to take action.

There were already frictions between the gang leaders, and they all disliked each other. If this matter had not involved genetic potions, they would not have gathered together.

"You want to cause trouble? I should kill you first." Heishi grabbed the wine glass and threw it hard at Kefei.

Kefei dodged nimbly, and with a smile he clenched the dagger in his hand tightly, as if he was ready to take action. Even some of the younger brothers beside him were eager to try.

The already noisy scene seemed to be getting out of control at this moment.

"boom!"

But at this moment, the door of the tavern was suddenly shattered by the impact of a huge force, and metal fragments splashed to the side, emitting sparks.

This scene made everyone in the bar silent instantly.

What a powerful force.

Everyone's heart trembled, and their expressions suddenly became serious, because this power did not seem to be possessed by a fourth-level gene warrior, but more like a fifth-level gene warrior.

The appearance of a level five genetic warrior is enough to make everyone shut up.

Subsequently.

Along with a pair of glowing eyes, a tall man in armor strode in as if he had turned a blind eye. Behind him followed an ordinary girl with pink hair. Some gang members recognized the scavenger Coni, but their attention was not on her at the moment.

"Yi, I have done what I said."

Hong Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Yi appear. She knew that Li Yi's appearance meant that the situation was under control.

Other gang bosses would never be able to be a match for the strong man who could capture me in one go.

At this moment, Li Yi's eyes calmly glanced at everyone in the bar. He did not speak, but everyone remained quiet. No one dared to speak out to break the silence. Even Heishi, who had been shouting that he wanted to take action, shrank back at this time, not daring to offend this powerful genetic warrior.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became depressing.

In this depressing atmosphere, people's nerves can't help but become tense and their attention becomes more focused.

But everyone's eyes and attention were focused on Li Yi, as if they were waiting for him to speak.

Li Yi just walked to the bar counter, then stretched out his hand and grabbed a bottle of wine in his hand. He turned around and calmly opened the bottle of wine, then smelled it, and then poured the wine in the bottle onto the ground.

A strange smell of alcohol wafted out.

"Is this what the gangs in Philadelphia usually drink? Alcohol that smells like sewers? Aren't you worried about heavy metal poisoning if you drink too much of this? Or are you so used to living here that you can no longer smell this smell?"

As Li Yi spoke, he took out a bottle of red wine from the storage magic tool.

He then threw it.

The red wine flew out and fell to the ground. The bright blood-red wine instantly spilled all over the ground. A fruity fragrance accompanied by a charming wine smell instantly spread.

At this moment, even the turbid air became somewhat sweet, making people feel intoxicated.

Obviously, this is a top-quality wine.

Some gang members who like to drink couldn't help licking their lips as they looked at the gem-red wine on the ground.

Why smash such a good wine? It's such a waste.

Not only the gang members, but also several gang bosses who smelled the alcohol felt that what they had in their hands was simply industrial wastewater. They really didn't know what they were thinking to dare to drink such a thing.

"This is the wine that the upper class nobles of the Genetic Federation usually drink. It is made from sweet grapes using very primitive techniques. Mechanical processing is prohibited, and even intelligent robots are prohibited from being used for picking. Moreover, the brewed wine must be stored in oak barrels for more than ten years. Do you know what an oak barrel is? It is a wooden barrel made from an oak tree that has grown in the forest for more than ten years. The wine in it has a natural fragrance, and you can't afford to drink such a bottle of wine even if you work hard for your whole life."

"No, you haven't even heard of it, because you don't know what a grape is, and you've never seen an oak tree, since there isn't a single decent tree in Philadelphia."

"But this is the precious wine that you have never seen or drunk in your life. Some nobles even poured it into their bathtubs to take a bath. In their residences, even the sewers smell of fine wine."

With just a few words, Li Yi sketched out the life of a group of aristocrats who were dissolute and extravagant.

Such a life makes people envy, jealous, and even shocked.

Because these things have never appeared on the screen or in the knowledge base, Li Yi was right. They had never seen grapes, had never seen oak that was more than ten years old, and they could not imagine that such precious wine would be used for bathing. Even the sewers were filled with the scent of wine.

Everyone looked at the red wine spreading on the ground, smelled the intoxicating aroma, and many images emerged in their minds.

This also made them feel inexplicably restless.

"Where did you buy this noble's top-quality wine?" Heishi licked his lips and asked with a dry throat.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Buy? They divide the best things into different classes. Only nobles and top gene warriors are eligible to buy them. Even if you are very rich, you can't buy a bottle of wine like this. So I chose another way to get it, which is to rob."

"I found that it was much easier to grab a bottle of fine wine than to buy one, so I soon drank such fine wine and experienced the life of the nobility. It turns out that the things you dream of are actually not that difficult to obtain."

"Robbering nobles? Aren't you afraid of death? The Gene Federation will not let you go." The tall and thin Ke Fei said with a sneer.

"We are all human beings, but the lives of the nobles are much more precious than yours. Aren't they afraid of death? When you kill the nobles, they will beg for mercy, be afraid, and even cry. They are even worse than the children in the mother's gang. As for the Gene Federation, if you are afraid of it, then its purpose will be achieved."

"Fear and power have only been implanted in your minds, but not in your genes. The long-standing fear has completely made you lose the will to resist. But in my opinion, the people should not be afraid of the Federation, the Federation should be afraid of the people."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone's breathing became heavier, and when these low-level gang members looked at Li Yi, there was a strange light in their eyes. It was as if something that was shackled their body and mind had opened a gap.

Something that had been dormant for a long time was awakened following some guidance.

Hong Zhen looked at Li Yi with surprise in her eyes.

She knew that Li Yi was a member of the resistance army, so she had no intention of having anything to do with him. She only wanted to take advantage of the situation to get the genetic potion, obtain the life repair chamber, recover from her injuries, and become a level 4 genetic warrior again. She would then take the opportunity to leave, so that when the Gene Federation retaliated later, they would not be able to find her.

But now, after hearing these words, she actually felt a shudder.

"That's enough. We are here for the gene potion, not to listen to your speech. If you don't have the gene potion, then we will leave."

Heishi growled. He felt that the person in front of him was very unusual and very dangerous.

The danger lies not in strength but in thought.

"Gene potion? Of course I have that." Li Yi walked up to a strange gang member and asked him, "Do you want to become a gene warrior?"

"Yes." The strange gang member answered without hesitation.

"What about you?" Li Yi pointed at another person.

"think."

"What about you?" Li Yi pointed at another person.

"think."

Everyone's answers were surprisingly consistent.

Li Yi smiled and said, "It seems that you all want to become gene warriors, but do you know how much a gene potion costs? One million source coins, a full million. If you use that money to buy food, you can circle Philadelphia three times. If you start saving money now, your grandchildren may not be able to afford it."

"Three generations, one hundred years, and still not enough to qualify as a genetic warrior. Do you think this is normal? No, this is not normal. The cost of genetic potions is very cheap, even less than a thousand source coins, and the quantity they produce is enough for everyone in the world to become a genetic warrior. But not only will they not give it to you for free, but they will monopolize it at a high price. Do you know why?"

"Because they are afraid. They are afraid that their privileges will not be able to be maintained after everyone becomes a gene warrior. They are afraid that the Gene Federation will no longer be able to use force to force you to submit. They are afraid that their rule will be overthrown."

"Genes should be free, privileges should be abolished, and everyone should be equal. If you want genetic potions, then follow me. I will take you to the Hope Building to get them."

After saying that, he pointed out the window of the bar.

There stands a majestic building that every Philadelphian needs to see.

"You mean to rob the Hope Building? That's crazy. The strongest level 5 gene warriors in the city are stationed there, and there are also close-in defense guns and intelligent robot soldiers. Any person without an identity or a citizen with a criminal record who approaches without listening to the advice will be killed immediately."

A gangster boss looked at Li Yi with wide eyes, his face full of shock.

"Madman, you are a complete madman. You actually want to rob the Hope Building. Hehe." Kefei played with the dagger in his hand and laughed, but there was an inexplicable excitement in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

"If you miss, go ahead and do it yourself. I'm not a fool. I'm not going to die with you." Heishi stood up angrily and wanted to turn around and leave.

However, Li Yi moved his feet and blocked Heishi's way first, punching him hard in the abdomen. The powerful force made his eyes open wide and his body bent.

"You bastard, I'll kill you." Heishi roared angrily after feeling the pain.

"You dare to resist me, why don't you dare to resist Jones? He is a level 5 gene warrior, and I am also a level 5 gene warrior, and my strength is even stronger than his." Li Yi stared at the black stone and said, "What is it that makes you so docile like a pet? Or, you have become a gene warrior yourself, but like the corrupt Gene Federation, you are afraid that other members of the gang will also become gene warriors and threaten your position as the boss?"

Hearing this, the gang members all looked at Heishi, anger instantly ignited in their eyes.

"If a boss cannot bring a future to members and only knows how to exploit them, then why would people still follow such a person?"

"If you succumb to force, am I now more suitable to be the boss than you?"

After Li Yi finished speaking, he threw another punch, blasting the black stone away.

"And I never thought of becoming your boss, because I will never take you to drink stinky wine, hide in the dark corners of the city, slowly rot and die. I just want to guide you to become gene warriors, and then live freely and with dignity. If the world does not allow it, then follow me to make a big fuss in this world and let everyone hear your voice."

"Philadelphia does not belong to the Genetic Federation, but to you. All you have to do is take back what you have lost."

"Be a coward for the rest of your life, or be a hero today. Make your own choice."

"Connie, come with me. I will make you a powerful genetic warrior today." Li Yi said, then stepped on the ground filled with red wine and strode out of the bar.

Connie followed without hesitation, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

But he hadn't taken many steps yet.

A gang member shouted excitedly: "I, I want to go with you? Can I?"

"Of course, no one will stop a man from pursuing freedom." Li Yi stopped at the door, then turned around and said, "If you are willing to come, follow me to take back Philadelphia that belongs to you. I will personally deal with Jones, the level 5 genetic warrior."

Having said that, Li Yi strode out of the bar.

And then, the situation got completely out of control.

"I also need to go."

"I'll go as well."

"Take over the Hope Building and become a genetic warrior."

"I want to be a hero, not a coward, in this fight with the Gene Federation."

Shouts rang out one after another, instantly flooding the entire tavern like a tide, and then the gang members rushed out one after another without even waiting for their boss's orders.

"Boss, go for it. You can win."

There were also some more loyal members who rushed to their boss and shouted excitedly.

They looked as if if you didn't agree, they would betray you and follow Li Yi the next moment.

Kefei laughed, a little crazily, and then fiercely stabbed the dagger in his hand into the wine table: "Then let's have a big fight with this lunatic. I have disliked those people for a long time."

As soon as these words came out, the others cheered.

Then, another group of people rushed out.

"Boss, let's go too."

Some people excitedly pulled out the black stone that had just been blasted away by Li Yi from the ruins of the bar.

Black Stone reeked of alcohol. He spit heavily and looked at the situation that had completely gotten out of control. He could not help but growl, "I've had enough of this low-quality, stinky wine. I want to taste what the wine tastes like. Since you want to go, count me in. After you succeed, I'll make all of you genetic warriors."

"That's great." Everyone cheered excitedly.

Something was completely ignited.

Everyone in the bar rushed out at this moment, ready to follow Li Yi to take down the Hope Building.

The owner of the Scrap Bar was both excited and thrilled when he saw this scene. He had a feeling that he had witnessed something extraordinary. If what happened here today were spread, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.
