Chapter 134 Palpitations
"Thank you, Instructor Lin."
Watching Xiao Chen leave, Lin Xudong had a complicated expression. From the school's perspective, he shouldn't have said these words today.
If Xiao Chen had taken Buyuan Dan, then his force power would probably have reached over 100 on the test day!
This is definitely what Li Jianye wants to see. Word spread that in ten days of training, he improved a student with a force of 90 to 100, which is also a good-looking resume.
But he still said that as for the choice, it was up to Xiao Chen himself.
…
"This is a bit difficult to handle."
Dragging his slightly tired body, Xiao Chen held the Yuan-Building Pill tightly, feeling like he was being robbed by everyone he saw.
But looking at his washed-out clothes, Xiao Chen laughed at himself. Probably the robbers would think that he was too poor to be worth robbing.
Thinking of Lin Xudong's words today, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He only had a small piece of green crystal left, so if he couldn't bleed himself these days, he couldn't let his sister starve.
"Where to do it?"
Not all dead bodies will emit green crystals, they must have a certain level of Force power.
And as his force power increases, the conditions for the production of green crystals also become higher. Otherwise, Xiao Chen would just go to the hospital and cemetery and everything would be fine.
From the exit of the city wall to Area C of the slum, there seemed to be fewer people on the road today than usual. However, Xiao Chen, who was full of worries, did not pay attention to this problem.
"Brother, you are back."
The petite Mu Xiaowan walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fried pork with shredded potatoes and wearing an apron that was obviously one size larger.
On the table, three plates of exquisite side dishes were placed there as always.
Naturally, Xiao Chen was the only one eating dinner, but he was eating this meal absent-mindedly.
Mu Xiaowan sat there quietly, seeming to notice that Xiao Chen was a little unhappy. She rolled her dark eyes and ran into the room, tinkering with something.
After a while, I saw her change out of her dirty apron and run out in a floral dress.
Although the clothes looked very old, the girl's face was too delicate. She turned around and narrowed her eyes into a crescent moon.
"Brother, the new skirt I bought today looks good."
It turned out that this girl was already so beautiful. Xiao Chen was in a daze. In his memory, she still seemed to be the little girl with a runny nose who followed him to make a living with this old bear doll.
In the past three years, she has not had new clothes or new toys. The so-called shopping is naturally picked up from the trash cans in the wealthy areas of the city.
I guess my sister is still hungry now and has to think of something to make herself happy... Xiao Chen just felt that the food in his mouth was even worse.
"It doesn't matter, even if the force is a little lower, it doesn't matter."
He did not tell Mu Xiaowan the truth, otherwise his sister would never accept it. He walked to the kitchen and prepared to bleed himself some more.
Just then, he heard footsteps coming from outside, as if there were many people marching.
When I came back just now, there seemed to be very few people on the road. Where did such a large group of people suddenly come here?
etc……
Xiao Chen suddenly remembered something, and looked at it carefully through the kitchen window.
Most of the people outside were wearing black leather jackets and carrying various types of knives, swing sticks and other weapons in their hands. They were shouting and swaggering through the market, and they were saying all kinds of dirty jokes and swear words.
"Is this, gang negotiation?"
Where there is light, there is darkness, especially after the advent of the wasteland era, gangs of various sizes have formed in many places beyond the control of the government.
Xiao Chen heard that the two largest gangs in Jiangcheng had awakened people in charge.
Such people are always present in businesses involving gambling, black boxing, and contraband transportation.
Most of the time, they can live in peace with each other. But if a certain gang recruits capable officers, or the strength of the gang members breaks through, breaking the balance between the gangs, more intense conflicts will break out.
Of course they don't dare to cause trouble in the city, so outside the wall is the best option.
"No wonder there are so few people on the road today."
Many people imagine gangs too well. In fact, Xiao Chen knows very well that these are a group of people who lick blood from their knives and rely on violence to make a living. People like Zheng Tianhao don't need to be afraid of them, but small businessmen and hawkers are different.
.
Although the probability of a gang fight was low, Xiao Chen had already changed out of his clothes, put on a black denim jacket, carried a rusty hatchet from home, and followed him out.
"Xiaowan, I'm going out for a while. Don't go out while you're at home. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Mu Xiaowan nodded quietly, but after Xiao Chen left, there was a deep look of worry in her eyes.
She knew that her brother was going out for another adventure.
…
Xiao Chen deliberately followed for a while before quietly blending into the large army from a corner.
Facts have proved that he was too careful. More than two hundred people from this gang were dispatched, and his appearance did not attract anyone's attention.
After following them for more than ten minutes and leaving the slums, Xiao Chen felt slightly disappointed as he listened to their conversation.
The fight I was looking forward to might not happen.
This gang is called Zixuan, and the one they are about to negotiate with is called the Black Tiger Gang. They are the two largest gangs in Jiangcheng.
Every once in a while, the big guys would sit together to discuss the division of business. If they couldn't reach an agreement, they would set up an arena and compete in a martial arts competition to resolve the issue.
It's the same today. One person from each side will enter the ring, regardless of life or death. The restriction is that neither side can invite the awakened ones, they must be members of the same gang.
Although Xiao Chen was disappointed, he understood. Only when new forces emerge, they will choose to fight their way out. No one can withstand the hardships of established forces like them.
If we really do it, it will benefit the small forces below.
The only thing that surprised Xiao Chen was that the members of the Zixuan Gang were full of confidence in tonight's competition, because the person participating in the battle was the son of the leader of the Zixuan Gang!
Young Master, Li Haoran.
Hearing this name, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a little familiar.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
He remembered that when he was in his second year of high school, a student once raped a girl in his class after failing to confess his feelings. This incident caused a big fuss.
Not only did the school classmates denounce it, but the police station also intervened. They didn't know how it was handled in the end.
I just remember that that person once said that he would not lose a hair on his head, and then there was no news about this person.
Xiao Chen and the others had always thought that this student had gone to jail. Unexpectedly, they heard this name again here.
Ten minutes later, more than 200 people stopped, and an earthwork arena with a diameter of about 20 meters appeared at the front.
Following the buzz and cheers of the impact of iron weapons, a thin man with a slightly sinister appearance lightly jumped onto the ring.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. Although more than a year had passed, he still remembered this face.
It is indeed Li Haoran.
He is actually the son of the leader of the Zixuan Gang, no wonder it's okay.
"Haha, Li Zichen, you are really willing to let your son come and compete in person."
A sound as loud as thunder instantly penetrated the entire venue, and a dark group of people appeared on the opposite side.
The person who spoke just now was a sturdy man over 1.9 meters tall, with two fist-sized iron rings tied around his ears.
