……

【Option [-]】

【Near the machine gun】

……

Zheng Zhuo couldn't understand why there was a machine gun in the port area, a transit point for transporting goods, but footsteps were approaching, and he decided to think about it later.

"(Space...and more!)"

Zheng Zhuo lifted the green canvas, lowered himself, and hid inside.

Crash.

The canvas was covered again, and the eyes were dark.

The back of Zheng Zhuo's neck touched the cold body of the machine gun.He shivered.

This is not stereoscopic projection, nor is it a billboard.

"(It's a real guy...)"

Zheng Zhuo really knew that a fight was about to happen here, and it was for this reason that he came here.

But at this time, he had a little sense of crisis.

……

Can't see anything.In the darkness, Zheng Zhuo heard someone approaching.

They stopped where they were.Zheng Zhuo couldn't judge their status, and he didn't intend to open the canvas or light up his glasses.

Amid the angst that made his throat tighten, he heard a second voice.

Also footsteps.somebody is coming.

There are more people than those who came first.

And these newcomers are obviously much more noisy than those who came earlier.

"The grown-ups from the [Assessment Point System] came to negotiate with us rubbish. When the blind man told me this, I thought he had drunk too much."

"What do you want to do?"

Very heavy regional accent.Every time he said a word, there was a group of giggling and laughing indistinctly behind him.During this period, there was still the sound of metal clashing.

It's all about fucking guys.

However, the person opposite with a very standard accent was not shaken by it.

"This is your eighth attack on the [assessment point system] vehicle this week. This does not include the attack on our delivery drone."

A calm male voice said.

"Not so often before. We want to ask you what you want to do."

Hahahaha.

There was another snicker on the other side.

"[Assessment Point System] and Foss Corporation jointly built Luodu, and children know it! Everyone, everyone... If you want to climb up, you must buy points from you, and then go to Foss to take a job... ...Hehe...Everyone's money has gone into your pockets, this little loss, can't you accept it? We just asked for a little more than usual."

The boss of the "garbage heap" coughed hoarsely.

"What? Even such powerful big shots can't stand wild dogs wandering around their feet?"

Hehehe...

The people at the "garbage dump" laughed like real wild dogs.

The [Evaluation Point System] people are the exact opposite of them.

Stop laughing, getting angry, and retorting.They didn't even make the sound of moving.

"What do you want?"

The leading man asked again.

The leader of the "garbage heap" let out a "tsk".

This time, he answered.

"I heard that the "key" of [Paradise Project] fell into the hands of a woman."

"(!)"

Zheng Zhuo, who was hiding under the canvas, pricked up his ears.

"And that woman is with you?"

The leader of the "garbage heap" finally bared his fangs.

The other side is indifferent.

"Are you here or not? Knowing about this, what are you going to do?"

"Then there is no need to ask."

Just lang just lang.

The sound of steel colliding with steel.

"That's money. Money. Unimaginable amounts of money. Mountains of gold and silver. How can you just go back and say 'OK, got it'?"

Hee hee hee.

Countless wild dogs laughed behind their backs.

"If it is in your hands, all of you must stay. Until your people take that woman to ransom."

"...Do you think that not enough people have been arrested?"

People who evaluate the point system are not intimidated.Nothing seemed to frighten them.

"In the past week, 38 members of the 'garbage dump' have been jailed for violent attacks. If memory serves, many of them are familiar faces."

cluck cluck.

"You mean the people who have been arrested? Don't laugh to death."

hoarse voice.

"There are more than a few people in the garbage dump. It's just some old dogs. What's the matter? 38 people, 380 people..."

"People are the least valuable to us. If you are willing to hand over the woman with the 'key', I can slaughter 38 more dogs for you on the spot to add to the fun."

"..."

The people in the evaluation point system fell silent.

But Zheng Zhuo thinks that their silence is not because of empathy.

Sure enough, after a while, the leading man spoke again.

"You want the key to sell it. Foss and we have been threatened. This thing has a price and no market. No one will buy it."

"When you have something in your hand, how can you buy it or not? If you don't buy it, we can do it."

The wild dogs were drooling and roaring ready to go.

"We broke into your building...we heard it. With this thing, we can completely disable Fox's [Project Paradise] server, right?"

"..."

"Hey. Your expression now is the most interesting tonight."

"Even so, we wouldn't buy it."

"Really?"

"This is the meaning of the joint shareholders' meeting."

"...Then there is no way. Did your 'joint shareholders' meeting' mention that you might be tortured to extract confessions?"

"..."

"At a time like this..."

……

The situation is critical.It seems that just a little spark can ignite the field.

Zheng Zhuo held his breath and listened.didn't expect...

Sha la la.

The canvas of his hiding place was lifted.

A figure rushed in.

"!"

"(Hush!)"

The visitor immediately covered his mouth!He heard a familiar voice——

"(It's you……!?)"

It was none other than the young woman who jumped into the canvas!She also squeezed in now, shrinking together in the small space.

"(Are you okay?)"

"(I'm fine. Although I was taken away by [Evaluation Point System] before, they brought me here just now.)" the young woman whispered in the dark, "(Don't listen to them say that, [Evaluation Point System] 】Actually, I was thinking about letting Shen and I be put on the "garbage dump" here!)"

"(Hush!)"

The young woman made Zheng Zhuo quiet again.

"(Don't talk about this, I know how to use the 'key' to stop [Paradise Project]! We need...)"

Just when she was about to say it.

Bang.

Suddenly there was a gunshot in the field.

Oops……!
Fight!Zheng Zhuo thought something bad in his heart.

Sure enough, gunshots from both sides followed like rain, endlessly.

Disorderly footsteps.Someone rushed over here...

Zheng Zhuo reached out to grab the canvas, but was a step too late.

The canvas was lifted with a "crash".

Opposite is a ragged member of the "junk heap".Unexpectedly, there were people in here, or two people, he was taken aback for a moment.

Zheng Zhuo punched him on the chin.

The member passed out, but it is obvious that no one can hide here anymore!In an instant, countless eyes looked at them in the arena...

"Get out of the way!"

The young woman had already set up a machine gun at this time.
