But he was also hit by several bullets, and his shoulder, thigh and heart hurt.

He looked at the sky, which was pitch black.

He knew he was dying, he just didn't know what to expect.

His consciousness was blurred and he seemed to see a pale giant.

He asked weakly, "Have my sins been atoned for?"

"Your sins have been atoned for, but your original sin has not."

He got a response and a smile appeared on his face, he was very happy.

"I'm sorry, my lord."

Before he passed out, he was still apologizing for his unredeemed sins.

The rescue team organized by the girls lifted him onto the iron stretcher crying, but the only thing they could do was to suture his wounds and bandage him with relatively clean cloth. The rest was up to fate.

Coz stopped them, reached into Vic's wound, and dug out the bullet that was lodged in his body.

Sevatar walked silently to Curze, his face covered in blood.

It wasn't his blood, it was the blood of his enemies and Ben, whose hands were cut off by a knife to protect him.

Coates: "To accomplish a just cause, sacrifice is inevitable."

"I know." Sevatar looked up at the pale giant. "I just want to ask, is it all worth it?"

"Yes, I promise."

After getting the answer, Sevatar walked away silently. He was going to take care of Ben.

Hate?

It’s long gone.

He believed they were on the right path, and he only hated his father for not dying earlier so that there wouldn't be a gap between him and the others.

"Will they survive?" Curze asked.

The Night Haunter had never suffered such heavy casualties. A single gang was completely unable to stop Curze's slaughter, and the others faced little pressure.

He could see their futures, but these futures were conflicting.

He saw them recover miraculously, and he also saw them succumb to infections far more deadly than the wounds themselves.

Wop: “Yes.”

Coz breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't want to admit it and kept a stern face.

Coz saw the smile on Wop's face and tilted his head.

"I want to go to the upper class. The nobles won't let this go. They'll take revenge on the Night Haunter."

"Are you scared?" Wop asked bluntly.

Koz was silent and nodded.

He was indeed scared.

If he were alone, he would fear nothing. He would not fear death, and he would not die.

But Midnight Haunter still has many people. They are his foundation. They are not afraid of death, but they will die.

The gangs of the Bottom Nest are the lowest level of this city, and the news of their failure to encircle the Midnight Haunter will soon spread back to the upper levels.

He saw in the future that the gangs of the Lower Nest would attack the Bottom Nest in large numbers. They were more numerous and better equipped. Curze could kill many people, but he could not save anyone.

The Night Haunter will be gradually eaten away, many people will die, and his foundation will collapse.

So he couldn't let the nobles put the battlefield in the lower nest, he needed to open up a new battle zone in the lower nest. If the lower nest didn't work, then he would go to the upper nest, to the top of the tower.

Passively accepting a beating would only lead to destruction; he had to take the initiative.

Wop smiled.

"There's no shame in admitting your own weakness. Only egomaniacs think they have everything under control, like your father. Then let's go down to the nest, you and me."

"It's not just us," Curze said. "The Night Haunter will be there too. The Lower Lair needs justice, too."

"What about the bottom nest? Who are you going to let take over?"

The bosses of hundreds of gangs in the Bottom Nest were killed, but their foundations were still there, and these gangs were still there. The Midnight Haunter needed to slowly devour them.

"Sevatar, he has leadership talent and conviction. No one is more suitable than him."

Coz had decided to go to the lower nest, but he still had some time to clean up the gang in the bottom nest.

He didn't have time to cleanse the Underhive of its crimes one by one, but he could confiscate or destroy all the gangs' weapons.

Children are lambs to the slaughter in front of adults, but children with weapons are as deadly as adults with weapons, and unarmed adults are lambs to the slaughter in front of armed children.

Whoever controls the weapons controls the law.

……

“I’m so sorry,” Dorothy whispered.

Wop: "It's not your fault. With or without you, the interests of the Night Haunter and the nobility are fundamentally conflicting."

He could tell from the first time they met that Dorothy was not a low-class person. Her culture, knowledge, conversation and beauty did not belong to the bottom nest.

"I concealed my identity and thought they would leave me alone."

Dorothy's face was full of bitterness. She had already reached the bottom of the nest, so why didn't they let her go?

Koz shook his head. Teacher Dorothy was a good person, but she was too naive.

If she hadn't met Wop and Cozee, the little flame she had ignited would have quickly died out.

But she was still great, and the flames she ignited became the foundation for the walls of Curze.

Sooner or later, this flame will ignite the entire world and dispel the darkness that shrouds Nostramo.

Curze said to Sevatar, "After I'm gone, do not continue to expand. If the gangs from the Lower Nest attack in large numbers, you can abandon your other territories and wait for my return. If you save people and lose land, both people and land will be saved."

Sevatar said coldly, "If you save the land but lose the people, you lose both the land and the people. Teacher Wop taught me that, and you don't need to repeat it to me. I value the lives of my companions more than you do!"

Coze was attacked, but he did not fight back because what Sevatar said was true.

He wants to save the Night Haunter because the Night Haunter is his way to achieve justice, and he can sacrifice anyone in the Night Haunter to achieve justice.

The core of Midnight Haunter has always been the territory of the original Blood Claw Gang, and Coze was planning to go to the lower nest from the Blood Claw Gang's elevator.

The bottom nest cannot control the rise and fall of the elevator.

But Coates doesn't need an elevator; he can just climb up slowly.

Chapter 25 Lower Nest Area

There are five hive cities on Nostramo, named after the ancient Roman names of the five.

The hive where Curze landed was the fifth hive, Quintus.

Hundreds of thousands of industrial blocks that gnaw at each other have formed the steel forest of Quintus. The residential area of ​​the hive city is 15 kilometers high. 0-8 kilometers is the lower nest area, 8-12 kilometers is the upper nest area, and 12-15 kilometers is the top of the tower area.

The tens of billions of residents of the Hive City all live in the Lower Hive, working day and night in factories for 20 Terra hours in exchange for 4 Terra hours of rest. The gangs allow them to rest not out of pity, but simply to prevent the labor force from dying too quickly.

There are only tens of millions of people in the Underhive, and these people originally came from the Lowerhive. They are either mutants abandoned by their parents, or civilians who could not bear the heavy labor and high taxes and were forced to flee to the Underhive.

Billions of people have toiled in dark factories for generations, but what they get in return is an average life expectancy of only 30 years old, they have to have their flesh removed and replaced with cheap, rusty mechanical prostheses before they are 20 years old, and their children have to go to factories at the age of three to do what they can to support their families.

There is also the luxurious enjoyment of the nobles at the top of the tower.

Billions of people support millions who get something for nothing.

Koz saw all of this. It was the bloody reality, not the distant future.

He crawled down the elevator shaft to the Lower Nest and into the lair of a Lower Nest gang.

Whether in the bottom nest, the lower nest or the upper nest, control of the elevator is the focus of competition among all gangs.

The nobles in the spire area would even deploy troops directly outside the elevator to prevent any untouchables from sneaking to the spire.

No one noticed Koze, and he killed everyone silently in the dark.

Through the future of those dead, he saw the 'order' of the lower nest.

The lower nest is divided into layers every 100 meters, with a total of 80 layers, and each layer is usually ruled by more than 3 gangs.

Even the most powerful gangsters cannot control any one nest layer independently.

This was a deliberate act by the nobles at the top of the tower. They would not allow any gang to control the Lower Nest, not even one layer, because they knew very well that it was the tens of billions of workers and hundreds of thousands of factories in the Lower Nest that fed the city.

Coz climbed onto the roof and gazed over the neighborhood.

"The Lower Hive needs the order of the Night Haunter. If we control the Lower Hive, we can control the entire Hive."

Wop smiled and said, "Is it difficult?"

"It's not as difficult as I thought." Coz said truthfully.

If he were alone, it would be difficult.

Although he could eliminate several gang strongholds every day, it would take at least three months to eliminate all the gang strongholds in a nest layer.

It would take him twenty years to eradicate all the gangs in the lower nest.

But if he only eradicates the gangs but fails to establish a new order, evil will breed in the darkness again.

Because there are tens of billions of people in the Lower Nest, even if only 0.1% of them are gang members, it would be difficult for him to hunt them all one by one.

Those who survive will be hopeful and establish new gangs, and twenty years later it will be a new cycle.

But he is not alone, he also has the Night Haunter.

He is responsible for eradicating gangs and making darkness invisible.

The Night Haunter is responsible for establishing order and judging criminals.

The other tens of billions of workers are ignorant and submit to the rule of the gangs because might makes right.

So they too will submit to the Night Haunter's rule, nothing will change.

Even in this sinful city, most of them are innocent.

Because they have been struggling to fill their stomachs every day since they were born, they have to work hard just to stay alive and have no time to commit crimes, which saves Coze a lot of trouble.

He doesn't need everyone to understand justice, he just needs to make sure the Night Haunter understands and upholds it.

But first, he needed to bring the Night Haunter to the Lower Lair.

Coz waited here for three days because the elevator stopped and started frequently and took three days to reach his floor.

During this time, he killed any gang members who came here to inquire about the situation until no one dared to approach here anymore.

As the elevator landed, the noble, protected by dozens of fully armed soldiers, asked doubtfully:

"Who are you? Where's Als?"

He stared at the man outside the elevator. Although he was puzzled, he was not very alert. The speed of renewal of the Xiachao gang was very fast.

As long as they paid their taxes on time, the nobles didn't care who ruled.

As for the threat?

No one dared to threaten a noble, for they would face catastrophic destruction.

Wop smiled: "He's dead, and so are you, look behind."

The nobleman said calmly, without turning around, "Kill him."

He could not understand the humor of these low-born pariahs, but he had already sentenced them to death for their offense.

The soldiers raised their guns and blood splattered.

The noble covered his throat but couldn't stop the bleeding. It took Koz a few seconds to kill all the soldiers in the elevator. He looked at the man outside the elevator with dissatisfaction.

"I don't need you to be bait, you should hide!" His voice was hoarse and low.

"What about the others?" asked Wop.

"I don't need anyone to act as bait!" Curze repeated.

Wop: "I'm not bait. I just want to help you. Is that not okay?"
