Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 269 Civilian Area
In the eastern suburbs of the Fifth District, near Xinghai Street, there is a civilian area whose area is no smaller than that of Xinghai Street.
However, there are no towering skyscrapers like those in Xinghai Street. The tallest buildings are only 20 to 30 stories high, and most of them are low-rise buildings with one to three stories. Moreover, most of the buildings here look very shabby, and even the style retains the old style of decades ago.
However, when Li Jiu drove the white hover car here, he was in a very happy mood, at least much better than in Xinghai Street.
Because the scene here reminded him of his twenty years of life in the virtual world, and it gave him a familiar and friendly feeling.
Doug and Quinn's temporary residence is on a street in this slum.
The main reason they chose to live here was because it had a large population and mixed with good and bad people, which was helpful in hiding their true identities that they didn't want others to know. At the same time, there was another important reason, which was that the rent here was the cheapest...
Along the main road of the slums, Li Jiu drove his car into the civilian area.
Along the way, he casually looked at the scenery on the street.
Although many hovercrafts can still be seen coming and going on the streets of this slum, most of them are quite dilapidated, just like the buildings here.
On the sidewalks on both sides of the street, there were a large number of residents dressed in old-fashioned clothes, walking silently with gloomy expressions.
When Li Jiu noticed that more than half of the pedestrians on the street were yellow-skinned, black-haired yellow people, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Judging from their appearance, most of these yellow people are probably descendants of the Chinese people... It seems that what Mad Wolf said is right. The situation of the Chinese people in the alliance is really not optimistic..." Li Jiu pondered secretly , feeling indescribably heavy, as if someone was strangling his throat, and he was a little breathless...
Although Li Jiu is just a clone warrior, the genes in his body are completely from the pure Chinese people, and this means that there is an inseparable connection between his blood and this nation!
As a member of the tribe, Li Jiu was filled with an unspeakable deep grief and indignation when he saw that his fellow tribesmen were living worse than those from other tribes in his own territory!
What made him feel the most heartbroken was that many of the tribesmen walking on the street had faces full of numbness and helplessness...
Obviously, the current alliance is not a harmonious society where everyone is equal, especially the situation of the Chinese people, which is even worse...
"Revitalize the Chinese race... Mad Wolf, I will shoulder this mission with you!" Li Jiu suppressed his grief, his clear black eyes filled with unwavering faith.
Afterwards, Li Jiu stopped looking at the heartbreaking scene on the street and stared at the hovercraft expressionlessly. He quickly rushed to the residence of the Doug brothers according to the address they gave him...
…
This is a three-story blue-gray building that looks dilapidated and the paint on the walls has long since peeled off.
This is a building built in the civilian area by a merchant with some assets in Xinghai Street. The purpose of its construction was to rent it to civilians who could not afford to buy houses.
As a rental house, the door of this small building is open 24 hours a day.
Li Jiu parked the car against the wall of the building, then walked straight in carrying a black travel bag.
Doug and Quinn live on the third floor of this small building. The door of their house is just an ordinary metal door, because such cheap small buildings cannot afford to install any high-tech quantum doors.
“Beep! Beep!…”
Li Jiu stood in front of the door and rang the doorbell .
"Squeak!" After a while, Doug and Quinn came out together to watch the door.
However, the two guys were very cautious in opening the door, and they even had a long machete in their hands...
Seeing this scene, Li Jiu couldn't help but frown and was speechless.
When the twin brothers saw clearly that the person coming was Li Jiu, they felt relieved and grinned in a forced smile.
"Mr. AUG, please come in." Doug opened the door and invited Li Jiu in.
After entering, Li Jiu looked around the residences of the two brothers.
The furnishings in the house were very simple. There was only a broken sofa and a broken coffee table in the living room, on which were some temporarily purchased drinking water and food. It was even more shabby than Li Jiu's original dormitory.
"Bang!" After looking at it, Li Jiu put the black travel bag in his hand on the coffee table and sat down on the sofa. Doug and Quinn sat obediently on his right, waiting for Li Jiu to speak.
"Mr. AUG, what is this?" Quinn asked curiously, looking at the travel on the coffee table.
"Since you two have decided to follow me, you don't have to call me Mr. AUG anymore. Just call me Brother Jiu." Li Jiu shook his head and said calmly, unzipping his travel bag. "Here are some ammunition and equipment I brought for you. Due to time constraints, I didn't get much this time. You just have to make do with them for now. I'll find a way to get you more later."
Doug and Quinn were delighted when they heard this and looked into the travel bag at the same time.
After the last battle with the Blood Wolf Mercenaries, the bullets in their only pistol magazine had been used up. However, due to their identity, it was difficult for them to obtain weapons and ammunition in the alliance. That was why they had to buy two machetes as a temporary self-defense tool, so they were in urgent need of ammunition.
Li Jiu also took this into consideration, so he came to find them with ammunition and equipment. After all, the task he was going to give the two brothers was still risky, and if they didn't have weapons to protect themselves, even Li Jiu wouldn't let them take the risk.
"There are a total of 200 Desert Eagle bullets, two bulletproof vests, four high-explosive grenades, two flash bombs, and two smoke bombs in here." Li Jiu explained as he took things out of the travel bag. "Now, this is all I can get. I'll buy you some other equipment in a few days."
These things were temporarily prepared for Brother Doug by Li Jiu after the end of his retreat.
Originally, he planned to wait until he broke through to the middle of the general level and possessed the "soul penetration ability" before coming to find the brothers. Because only after he possessed the "soul penetration" ability, he could attack William and his son, and at that time, he could use the Doug brothers.
However, to his surprise, right after he broke through to the early general level, he immediately possessed the ability of "soul penetration"!
