Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 59 A Daughter Who Makes People Worried

Things like Hongshui Street are happening everywhere in today's middle square and the trench zone. It is just a small microcosm. Every Zaun citizen will be very busy today.

The content of the announcements broadcast on the loudspeakers on the streets this morning made the people of Zaun briefly forget the hatred between each other. In fact, many of them were the same as Kadon today. They might not be clear about what happened today and what these Zaun people on the streets were doing.

But when they see them busy, with light in their eyes, running around, they will subconsciously move closer like insects attracted by the fire.

It is precisely because they are in the dark that they need light more than anyone else.

Then, they will join in.

"Li Ke, this is going to be faster than I thought!"

Standing next to Li Ke, Hilco looked up at the blocked sewer pipe. This was a dark alley, and there was a huge sewer pipe above the Fugen Tavern. Now, a group of Wildfire Gang members came out with smiles on their faces, carrying dirty water and poisonous gas, but the people around them all came forward as if to welcome heroes.

The Wildfire Gang is the strongest force under Li Ke. Everyone in them is agile and strong. Under Ike's influence, they are all great craftsmen. So repairing a sewage pipe and modifying the route are naturally not a problem for them.

Therefore, the Wildfire Gang was the first to be successfully transformed.

When the huge iron ring with a giant round lock was chiseled into the wastewater pipe, Hilko's voice rarely fluctuated. His emotions were obviously a little high. The hand holding the scepter was clenched tightly, and the blue knuckles were visible. Looking at Li Ke, Hilko's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"How many people are here today? I originally estimated that this project would take three days to complete, but now it's only one day. Li Ke, we only need one day to complete the changes to these sewage pipes!"

"How many people? You really stumped me with this question." Li Ke thought for a moment, then answered, "There are about 600 residents from Firefly Community, and all men from Hope Community except children and women have come, plus the people from the Lotus Gang. I think I probably dispatched nearly 2,000 people alone."

"No, it's more than that. Look at the Black Alley. There are more than two thousand people around it now." Hillco shook his head.

Of course he has a lot of people under his command, but compared with Li Ke now, Hilco feels that it is too few.

Gangs are gangs and residents are residents, and these must be viewed separately.

Among Silko's subordinates, the ones who truly work for him are gang members. The rest, such as the Zaun people who work in his factory, the merchants who sell Weiguang liquor from him, and those with whom he has business dealings, are not Silko's subordinates, and they will not really obey Silko's orders.

"Why is it that it is such a simple thing, but we have spent hundreds of years and still haven't been able to accomplish it?" As he watched, Hilco suddenly said.

He was really confused.

This was so exciting after it was done, as if it really declared Zaun's independence and autonomy, as if it had really gotten rid of Piltover's rule. Look, every Zaun person who participated in it felt a sense of honor, with light on their faces and in their eyes, and this thing was so simple to do!
It's just a matter of blocking the pipe and changing the direction of the poisonous water. All the workers in Zaun have this skill. It's so fucking easy, but why didn't anyone do it before?
Why didn't I think of that?
"Is it simple? This is really not an easy thing to do, Hilco." After listening to Hilco's mumbling, Li Ke shook his head and laughed.

"If we change these pipes, we will really be going against Piltover." Li Ke pointed at the densely packed pipes in the sky and continued, "And Hilko, this project requires a lot of manpower and material resources, don't you realize? If the residents of Zaun are unwilling to participate, it will take more than three days for the two of us, the Lotus Gang and your people to complete it."

"It will take at least half a month. There are too many pipelines. It is precisely because everyone is involved that we can do it so quickly. Otherwise, the Piltover people will have to come to us halfway through."

"They won't just sit there and watch us do this. This is a slap in their face."

Li Ke looked at Hilco and said, "And if, I mean if, Uncle Hilco, if I hadn't shown up, and you were still making glimmers and selling them to the residents, ignoring the gangster activities in Zaun and causing continued panic in Zaun, then, do you still think this project is easy?"

After hearing this, Xierko looked at Li Ke in silence, pursed his lips, and then shook his head casually, "I know what you want to say."

"Like, you are really a good son of Vander." He suddenly said with a smile, the gloominess on his face was much less, and his scarlet eyes no longer looked so scary.

He stretched out his hand and clenched it, as if grasping something. He said to Li Ke softly, "I still say the same thing, Li Ke. Different practices should be adopted in different periods. I know how many people I have hurt, but I still don't think I am wrong. To put it in your words, isn't the money you are using now all my money?"

"If I didn't sell the glimmer to the whole world, if I didn't control Zaun and change Zaun's previous economic system, and only relied on moving stones and doing hard labor, then now you only have people but no money, can you still do such a thing?" Hilco asked Li Ke.

Li Ke rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Well, what Hilco said is also right.

To accomplish this, both money and people are essential.

But Hilco added, "But I admit that I was wrong about one thing, that is, Van der did nothing wrong."

"It is precisely because he gathered his forces and allowed Zaun to recuperate that there are so many healthy people in Zaun now."

"If you can meet Vander again one day, what will you say to him?" Li Ke's eyes moved and he suddenly spoke.

Vander is dead, but he is now playing the resurrection match!

Li Ke firmly believed it. After all, everyone who watched Twin Cities knew that Vander was a werewolf!
And players who play the League of Legends also know that, combined with Swain's easter egg voice, it is basically confirmed that Warwick is Vandall. As for whether Vandall will be a bloodthirsty monster or a majestic and gentle old father at that time, that is a problem.

But Li Ke was not panicked at all. He had the Soul Blossom behind him. Ahri was a demigod, and Vandel's problem involved the soul, which was the forte of the heroes in the Soul Blossom series.

"See? I think if he saw me, he would rush up and punch me twice when I opened my mouth to explain, and then I would faint. But I pushed him down with my own hands and stabbed him in the waist."

Hilco said with a smile, putting his hands behind his back, and continued with a smile: "He didn't treat me like he treated you. You probably haven't seen the old guy's angry look, but I used to see it every day."

"Vander is not a good-tempered guy."

"But if I ever see him again, I'll give him a hug, give him a drink, apologize to him, and tell him that what we both dreamed of was accomplished by a fucking little brat."

"Are you praising me now?" Li Ke smiled, his white teeth flashing at Xierko.

Hilco raised the corners of his mouth and spread his hands: "Who knows?" "Then I'll take it as a compliment, uncle."

"Okay, we should go to the next place. The wastewater pipe in Lianhua Community is about to be completed."

"Well, let's go."

Forty minutes later, Lianhua Community.

Just as Li Ke said, the wastewater pipe above the Lotus Gang had also been processed.

A group of Lotus Gang members who had changed their clothes, looked tired but excited, saw Li Ke and immediately came forward.

"Boss, it's just as Jinx said. After the root cause is eliminated, no more poison gas will come out!"

"Boss, when do we start the air purification device?"

The Lotus Gang is located in a more remote area of ​​the Black Alley. The sewage pipe here is not like the one at the Fugen Tavern, which has a huge main pipe and densely packed small pipes. The Lotus Gang only has a two-meter-long pipe.

"Don't worry, once all the wastewater pipes in the ditch have been processed, we will turn on the air purification device." Li Ke reached out and patted the man's shoulder, saying with a smile.

At this moment, a loud voice sounded, and a tall figure rushed out of the house excitedly.

"Li Ke! The experimental data has been obtained!"

Jinx was wearing work clothes that were convenient for her work. Her long braids were tied into two big buns at the back of her head. She had a lot of hair and her braids were long, so the two big buns were so bouncy that they shook as Jinx ran.

The cute little face was bare-faced, and the hair on the forehead was held up by a hairpin, exposing the entire face.

Thanks to a regular and healthy diet and the help of her human-shaped pillow, Li Ke, and doll, Isa, Jinx's sleep quality is now very good. As a result, the dark circles under her eyes, which looked like smoky makeup, disappeared, and her big blue eyes were bright and sparkling, her fair, straight and superior little nose was covered with sweat, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Except for the unhealthy whiteness, she now looked sunny and not gloomy anymore.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the way she's dressed. After all, she hasn't changed much in essence.

Because no matter how crazy Jinx is, there is always Bomb's shadow in her heart. For example, in the battle with Ekko on the bridge, Jinx was already extremely crazy, but at that time, she was actually going to commit suicide.

When Hilco saw Jinx like this, he felt emotional.

It seems that Li Ke's raising Jinx is really better than the one he raised?

"Quack." Jinx hugged Li Ke tightly and looked up at him. She said excitedly, "Fluffy didn't lie to us. If we treat the root cause and use an air purifier, the air in Zaun can really be improved!"

"In the experiment just now, we found that the level of toxic gas and particles in the air is no longer increasing. Although it has not decreased, it is very stable! Of course, this is only in our central area. If you go further away, it will change again."

Li Ke also hugged Jinx and laughed.

But he couldn't say "That's great" because a light cough was heard behind him.

"Ahem." Hilco clenched his fists and placed them in front of him, looking at Jinx with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"Hey, Hilco, why are you here too?" Jinx poked her head out from Li Ke's shoulder and said in surprise when she saw Hilco.

"???"

Hilco: “.”

"I don't remember that I taught you to hug men casually, Jinx." Silko said in a deep voice.

"Yes, but you never cared about me before. You didn't care when I gave Benji a hug, right? Hey, speaking of him, haven't I seen him for a long time?"

"Yes, but I'm in charge now, isn't that okay?" Hilco continued.

Benji? The bartender from Fulgrim's Tavern?

Haha, Jinx didn’t know that Hilco sent that man to the dock the next day to be responsible for smuggling to Bilgewater.

"Why do I feel like you've become weird?" Jinx clicked her tongue, but still loosened her arms around Li Ke's back, and then stood aside and looked at Hilco coquettishly.

After hearing what Jinx said, Hilco snorted coldly and said with displeasure in his tone: "Yeah, I have indeed become weird now."

"Who made me have a daughter who makes me worry?"

"." Jinx blinked her beautiful blue eyes, her eyelashes fluttering, then she rushed forward and hugged Hilco: "You spoke so nicely today."

Hilco's face suddenly pulled down, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Seeing Li Ke looking at him, he glared at Li Ke, then patted Jinx's back with his hand.
