Chapter 339 Spring and Winter (Please subscribe, add to your favorites, and vote with monthly tickets)

[17 years old: The first day of the new year began when I saw a snowplow sweeping away the frozen corpses on the roadside.]

The apprentice's salary wasn't high, only eighty-two per week, and they had to work more than ten hours a day. But fortunately, meals were provided, and you could even pack some leftovers to take back to your mother and sister.

Your older brother often comes to visit your mother and sister. When he sees you, he just stays silent, then hugs you. He knows you could have gone to university.

He didn't date or get married. He lived in the factory and sent all his money back home.

He always said, 'Just bear with it, just bear with it.'

You meet a friend named Jon at the restaurant. He's an apprentice like you, and he seems to know a lot, always talking a lot.

For example, he might tell you, 'The electricity isn't actually transported from other cities; it's generated by the city's nuclear power plant. Heavy snow in winter blocking roads doesn't actually affect the power supply; the price increase is simply because the energy group is greedy.'

He has a smart bracelet and spends all his free time browsing information on it. Smart bracelets and data plans are very expensive in Rock City, so you can't afford to buy one.

Jon tells you that there is a man named 'K' in the south who is leading a large group of people in a rebellion against the corporations. K will help those who are bullied by the corporations.

You don't know who K is, and you ask Yorn about K's deeds. Yorn doesn't know much either, and he tells you a lot of stories about flying and teleporting. You think he's mostly bragging, but that doesn't stop you from thinking that K must be a great person.

Just like the knights and heroes in folk tales.

You asked Jon, 'What weapon does K use?'

He initially said it was a gun, then he said it was a sword.

In summer, there are more and more homeless people on the streets.

There are many empty houses and many homeless people. Jon says that many houses are auctioned off every day, belonging to people who have lost their jobs and cannot afford to pay their loans.

The top floor of the restaurant features luxurious private rooms, where many well-dressed people dine every day.

They drink a bottle of red wine worth ten years' salary and eat delicacies shipped from all over the federal government.

The apprentices loved serving side dishes at these restaurants so they could sneak a taste of the expensive dishes. However, many dishes were beautifully presented, so it wasn't so easy to sneak a taste. If they were caught, they would get a severe beating.

Yorn was once caught and beaten, and spent several days in bed, almost losing his job. When he came back, he was much more obedient, but he still often bragged to you, just less frequently.

My mother seems to be in much better health and can walk again. My second sister's mental state has also improved a lot after recuperation.

You seem to have seen Fifth Sister on the road, but it also seems like you're seeing things.

There is still no news about my fourth brother.

Winter is here again, and there are more and more homeless people on the streets. Electricity prices continue to rise, as does coal. Some homeless people in the wilderness have started selling timber, and the landscape trees on the streets are rapidly decreasing and are almost all cut down.

However, some of the trees surrounding the conglomerates, factories, and shopping malls belong to owners. The conglomerates have organized tree protection teams, and they shoot and drive away anyone who tries to steal trees. Homeless people often die from these gunshot wounds.

The VIP suites on the top floor are still packed with guests.

My older brother got fired.

Big brother didn't

He made no mistakes and did his job very well, but the factory had implemented a pay cut for everyone. His older brother's salary was used to pay for his second sister's and mother's medication. It had already been cut three times and couldn't be cut any further, so he went to the factory owner to try to ask for leniency.

Then he was fired.

It's hard to find work in winter. After my eldest brother lost his job, he could only find some cheap odd jobs, but he couldn't afford to pay for my mother's and second sister's medications anymore. Fortunately, my second sister and mother have recovered a lot and no longer need those medications.

[18 years old: The second sister has recovered somewhat and often goes out for walks. She said she met the fifth sister on the road, who was with a young man.]

Soon, you also met Fifth Sister. She hurriedly found you in the restaurant and handed you a storage chip. It turned out that she had always known where you were.

She tells you that the chip contains evidence of the mine's massacre of workers, then she leaves in a panic before you can even say a word.

You found Yorn, learned how to copy chips, and spent most of your savings at a digital store to buy several chips and a smart bracelet that could read and copy chips.

You don't know what to do. You want to go see your third brother, but the prison doesn't allow you to visit him.

You asked Jon what to do if you wanted to sue a mining conglomerate, and he said that for cross-city cases like this, you should contact the FBI or the local mining councilor to see if they have any ideas.

My second sister has gone missing.

When you got home, your second sister was nowhere to be found.

The eldest brother said he had been to the area where his second sister used to frequent, so he went to find her.

My older brother has also disappeared.

The year started very cold, and the snow fell heavily.

My mother has passed away.

You feel like someone is watching you from nearby. You don't have the money to hold a funeral, so you can only search for your missing older brother and sister while holding a simple ceremony.

You delayed until the last day stipulated by the municipal government, and then sent your mother to the crematorium.

At the crematorium, you saw staff members handling a piece of jewelry belonging to Fifth Sister. You had seen this jewelry before when Fifth Sister brought the chip.

You dragged that staff member into a corner and threatened him with force.

He told you that a few days ago, a body like this was brought in, covered in whip marks. It was cremated as a homeless person and received a municipal allowance.

Two other people were sent with the fifth sister, and their features were similar to those of the second sister and the eldest brother.

You feel suffocated, you can't confide in anyone, and you can't contact any of your relatives.

You used your last savings to buy an old sword at a craft shop. You shouldn't have been able to buy it, but the shop owner saw the cross on your chest and sold it to you for a very low price.

After that, you went straight to the FBI.

The FBI building isn't far from your house; it's in the direction your second sister often goes.

You gave the copied chip to the FBI agents and told them that this was the original.

Shortly after leaving the FBI, you feel like you're being followed.

You failed to shake off your pursuers, were attacked, and took refuge in a nearby alley.

Your mission is to investigate and reduce the high number of deaths in Rock City.

Enjoy the game!

When He Ao regained consciousness, a cold wind rushed into his throat.

He reached out and touched it; beneath his hand were hard ice shards.

He was sitting against the wall, a long trail of blood stretching to the edge of the frost-covered ground, reflecting the dim light of the streetlights.

It should be March now.

Spring has arrived in Dawn City, and everything is coming back to life, while Rock City is still in the dead of winter.

He reached out and grabbed it; the old sword was now firmly held in his hand.

In fact, if Neil had exchanged the money for a gun, his predicament would have been much less serious.

But he couldn't afford a gun.

It was only thanks to the boss's mercy that he was able to buy this sword with the little money he had left.

Restaurant apprentices earn only 82 federal dollars a week. Although meals are provided, it is almost impossible to save any money because they are apprentices and do not receive social security or health insurance.

Such a job requires two full years before one can become a permanent employee.

The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from both sides of the alley.

He struggled to his feet, his left chest and right shoulder throbbing with pain from the two gunshot wounds.

In addition, he was also shot in the right thigh and left arm, but the bullets did not remain in the flesh and passed through.

The footsteps on both sides were gradually slowing down, and those who were chasing him were slowly surrounding him.

The familiar chase.

He Ao gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He struggled to support himself with his sword and activated his hyper-memory.

Neil is the same as Joey.

Ordinary and commonplace, and,

Nothing.

Chapter 340 Broken Sword (Please subscribe, add to your favorites, and vote with monthly tickets)

The old sword in He Ao's hand had seen many years, and the rust on it proved that it should have been placed on a collection shelf, rather than used on the battlefield.

However, He Ao had the memory of Nell's battle in his mind. Although the sword was rusty, it was still quite sharp. The rust had not penetrated into the inside of the blade, which kept the old sword resilient and prevented it from breaking easily.

The slow footsteps were getting closer and closer.

He Ao gripped the short sword, glanced left and right, and tiptoed deeper into the alleyway on the right.

In the direction he was heading, three men wearing cotton coats and carrying guns were carefully advancing on the icy ground.

"Boss, that guy got shot in the chest, there's no way he'll survive. Do we need to be so careful?"

The man on the far left said slowly.

"Until the body is seen, any speculation is just speculation."

The older man in the middle looked up ahead. He had a prominent scar across half of his face, making him look unusually fierce.

This alleyway has been in disrepair for many years and has no streetlights. You can only vaguely see the brightly lit city in the distance and a little bit of light at the end of the alley.

However, that generation of faint light brought some illumination to the alleyway, allowing the three men to see the path beneath their feet.

Just as the scarred man looked ahead, a dark figure staggering against the wall approached them step by step.

The dark figure carried a longsword that seemed out of place in its time.

"shot!"

The scarred man raised his gun almost immediately, and the two men beside him also raised their guns instantly.
