Spy Family

There is a lot of garbage piled up on the garbage island, including objects and people.

This is a long and narrow island in the middle of the river. In the early years, it was dotted with warehouses used to store electronic equipment. During an economic collapse many years ago, a large number of companies closed down. People left, but the goods stayed. When they are remembered again, they will never be replaced. Most of the goods are outdated and have no value for renovation, so they become the first batch of garbage on the island.

Due to a slight oversight by the administrative agencies, more and more garbage, mainly electronic products, has been piled up on the island. As a result, a treasure hunting industry has spawned, specifically looking for a little bit of usable rare metals from the piles of garbage.

There are no roads or bridges to get to the island from the old city, so you can only take a boat.

Mei Wangzhen had great supernatural powers and had already prepared a small boat, which was not far from where they stopped.

The boat was moving slowly, and Lu Linbei grabbed the crew of the boat and continued to vomit. Mei Wangzhen introduced the mission while steering the boat, Let's find clues to the 'Iron Fist'.

The assassin punched through the car window and was able to fly on the roof of the car. As a result, he received many nicknames on the Internet. Iron Fist is one of them and is the most popular.

Is he hiding on the island? Lu Linbei became a little interested.

Not sure yet.

Third uncle said that he has specially assigned personnel to investigate this matter.

Mei Wangzhen smiled, I know, and I know the direction of their investigation. The Emergency Department believes that the assassin has undergone medical modification, such as modifying synthetic bones. This type of surgery is strictly restricted and monitored, and it is indeed worthy of investigation. Let's go to another place. There is one way, the emergency department will check the legal data, and we will check the illegal channels.

Is there anyone on the island who can do medical transformation?

Hey, there are many powerful people on the island. To tell you the truth, I actually have no evidence. I only have an impression. I'm not sure, so I didn't tell my third uncle.

impression?

“As soon as I saw the video of ‘Tekken’ running on the roof of a car, I thought it looked familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered that I had seen that posture in a game before.”

You also play games? Lu Linbei asked in surprise.

It's not the same game as you guys. You'll understand later.

The boat quickly docked, and the two of them climbed up a seven- to eight-meter slope and came to a path that had not been repaired for a long time.

The smell on the island is a bit strange, one after another, rarely the same. Sometimes it's like leftover food, sometimes it's like freshly ground metal, and more often it's an indescribable stench.

There are layers of garbage on the island. Half of the high-rise buildings Lu Linbei saw on the other side were actually piles of extruded garbage.

Come on. Mei Wangzhen led the way, taking every step carefully because of the lack of lighting.

Several swaying beams of light appeared in front, as well as wild shouts. Lu Linbei reached out to touch the gun and said, No need, they are a group of children.

Walking closer, Lu Linbei saw a dozen teenagers playing or fighting in the open space. They were divided into two groups, holding strange weapons, which were probably dug out of the garbage heap, and they were fighting each other. During the attack, debris flew everywhere, and a few people had lights on their helmets, illuminating a limited range.

The laughter that broke out from time to time showed that they were not really fighting.

When they noticed someone approaching, the teenagers gathered around and blatantly blocked the way, looking up and down.

Lu Linbei could see more clearly. The things in the hands of the teenagers were a complex of various electronic wastes, and they didn't know how to connect them together. They were fighting back and forth to see whose weapon was stronger. .

This doesn't feel like a fun game.

Are you the police? a teenager asked bluntly.

Mei Wangzhen shook his head, No.

So you're just here to have fun?

So be it.

Pay the island fee first.

Haha, kid, are you bullying me? Is this your first time on the island? Take me to the lazy cat's nest and give me a hundred points.

One hundred points each?

It's a beautiful idea. Do you need so many people to lead the way? Only one person, who knows the way?

The teenagers who had just been good friends immediately started fighting for each other. Soon, a boy who looked like the oldest one won out and said, Follow me.

The boy ran ahead, and the rest returned to the open space to continue playing.

The roads on the island are winding and winding, and you often have to lower your head to crawl through caves of several meters. Without someone to guide you, even outsiders who often come here may not be able to find the target.

There are more lights, and there are more people. Most of them are drunkards whose age is unclear, both men and women. They hold bottles in their arms and sit down casually, humming and groaning.

This is a scene rarely seen even in the old city.

In less than ten minutes, Lazy Cat's Nest arrived. It was a tall building built an unknown number of years ago. The top few floors seemed to have been broken off, and there were still more than a dozen floors left standing, which were kept afloat by the garbage accumulated around them. .

The boy pointed to a nearby store that was no different from a garbage dump, Buy me a universal first-class chip.

We agreed to 100 points, and the first-level chip needs at least 500 points.

Second-hand, cheap.

You're a little kid, why do you need a chip?

Then don't worry about it.

I'll go take a look. It's a hundred points anyway, and it won't do anything more than a little. If the chip is too expensive, I'll buy something else for you. You're not allowed to choose. Mei Wangzhen walked towards the shop and motioned to Lu Linbei to stay where he was.

The boy looked thirteen or fourteen years old, his face was covered in sweat and mud, as if he had never taken a shower, Is she your girlfriend?

no.

Such a stingy woman is not suitable for you.

Lu Linbei laughed.

The Lazy Cat Nest is actually not the most fun place on the island. There are better ones and all kinds. Do you want to go? I can lead the way.

“Can anyone make prosthetics?”

I don't know about this, I mean a place to play. You want prosthetic limbs, how about taking a look at this?

The young man handed over the weapon in his hand.

It was a short stick made of synthetic material, more than one meter long. Its original purpose was unknown. Now it is covered with bits and pieces of small things, mostly electronic devices, including a few general-purpose chips the size of a fingertip. , like jewelry set on it.

What kind of prosthetic is this?

It can be used as a walking stick and can also fight. Even though it looks ugly, its technical content is quite high. Ordinary people...

Mei Wangzhen walked back and threw a very small battery to the boy, Exactly one hundred points.

The boy took the battery, turned around and ran away, shouting from ten meters away: Cheapskate! Ugly!

Don't they have internal chips? Lu Linbei asked, guessing that these children only wanted things for free because they had no bank accounts at all.

They were there when I was born. They were taken away and sold by their parents before they learned how to speak. Even if they are lucky enough to stay, they will be sold when they grow up. Let's go, what are you looking at?

The things in the child's hands are quite interesting.

Ha, this is your first time in the city. They are poor people's things. They are similar to magnetic building blocks. They use a little electricity to attract various things together. Some people use them to make art and children use them as toys. Can you imagine? ?There’s not enough light on the island, but they’re playing with the only batteries they have.”

As they talked, the two entered the building and groped for a while in the dark corridor before Mei Wangzhen knocked on the door.

A small hole opened in the door, and a fluffy fist stretched out from the hole. Lu Linbei wanted to touch the gun again, but he didn't take it seriously. He raised his right hand and shook it, and retracted his fist.

Lu Linbei realized that Mei Wangzhen was handing over money.

Ordinary people's accounts are linked to chips in their bodies, and every financial transaction can be traced, which is obviously not conducive to black market transactions. In order to avoid supervision, some people have more chips implanted, mostly in their fingers, with one on the outside. The specially designed ring can turn off the chip at any time to prevent it from being tracked.

Lu Linbei also has a chip in his finger, but it doesn't have that many functions.

Both Wang Zhen and the fist that was stretched out just now have extra chips. After approaching, a transaction is completed.

Lu Linbei couldn't help but think that the source of these chips might be those wild children outside.

The door was opened halfway, allowing two people to enter one after another.

The gatekeeper was a tall and strong man. He pointed inside and said, No. 77.

Room No. 77 is full of instruments, divided into two rows on the left and right, and each row is divided into two floors. The instruments look very simple: a chair that you can lie down on, connected to the wall, with a glass cover above it, which can probably cover the Live half-length.

The chairs were almost full, with only two empty seats left on the innermost lower level.

Mei Wangzhen said: I'm lucky, I hate the top floor the most.

Is this the game you're talking about? Lu Linbei asked softly.

That's what ended almost all drugs on the island a few years ago.

That doesn't sound like a good thing.

You won't know until you try it. I'll go first. In ten minutes, you can drag me up.

Pull him up? Lu Linbei didn't understand the exact meaning of this sentence.

Mei Wangzhen sat on a chair and picked up a metal ring hanging on the side, Just pull it off my head, tear it off, whatever you want, take it off, and I will wake up. , I might resist, you have to use some force.

Is it that serious? I think everyone else came alone.

The minimum purchase here is one hour. When the time is up, you will be forced to wake up whether you like it or not, but I don't want to stay in there for too long, so I need your help.

Understood, you won't be in danger, right?

Don't try to save people, this is not that kind of place. Sit down, you will stand out like this.

Lu Linbei sat on the chair next to him.

Just as Mei Wangzhen was about to put the ring on his head, he suddenly remembered something and reminded him: Don't touch this thing before I wake up.

Okay. Lu Linbei was not interested at all.

Mei Wangzhen lay down and soon stopped moving, as if he was fast asleep.

Lu Linbei also lay down, his mind racing.

There was no door to the room. From time to time, figures walked by outside, obviously checking the situation inside to prevent anyone from causing trouble. There seemed to be no monitoring facilities in the room.

The light was very dim, and Lu Linbei saw several decorations on the wall. They were obviously made by using electronic devices to adsorb them together. They were only one step away from works of art and garbage.

Time passed very slowly. Lu Linbei glanced at Mei Wangzhen every few seconds. A slightly dull smile appeared on her face. Everyone here had this expression.

He has already guessed that this is an immersive game, and the technology is probably immature and harmful to the human body, so it is hidden on the garbage island and becomes part of the black market.

Lu Linbei decided never to bring Lu Yezhou to this place.

In the remaining time, Lu Linbei observed the players around him, and unexpectedly found that most of them were well-dressed, and they were obviously from outside the island.

The appeal of this game is much stronger than Mother Star Territory.

When ten minutes were up, Lu Linbei immediately stood up and reached for the ring on Wangzhen's head.

Although he had been warned earlier, Lu Linbei was still startled by Mei Wang's reaction. Before she even opened her eyes, she was already clawing and scratching, trying to take back the ring.

Lu Linbei held her shoulder firmly with one hand and took off the ring.

Mei Wangzhen breathed violently and finally opened his eyes. His eyes were slack. He breathed for nearly a minute before returning to normal. He held his head in his hands and murmured: I really can't touch this thing anymore.

Better? Lu Linbei asked.

Mei Wangzhen raised his head and regained the real feeling, He is here, the 'Iron Fist' is here, I saw him, his body must be nearby.
