Above ground mall, underground market.

This is a summary of the situation in the online forum on Watson District.

But few people know another saying that may sound a bit incredible: The underground fair in Watson District is not in Watson District!

No matter how you hear this, it’s like a bad sentence. Since it’s an underground market in Watson District, why is it not in Watson District?

As a foreigner, Zhu Jue is undoubtedly a little slight understanding of the situation in this city. When he heard this from the store manager, he reacted like most people who heard this fact for the first time, his face was full of confusion.

Fortunately, Zhu Jue has an old resident of Shuguang City who is willing to give him a detailed introduction.

Even if the latter is voluntary.

As the elevator settled, the surrounding light gradually fell into darkness. After passing a critical point, a large area of ​​strangely shaped fluorescent coating suddenly flashed on the four walls, which seemed ordinary. Zhu Jue, who was about to continue asking, saw this scene and subconsciously stopped talking and hugged the wind chime, which was a little anxious due to the changes in the surrounding environment, from his shoulder to his arms.

The moment the elevator door opened, a mechanical clown stood beside the door, exaggerated oil paint smearing the fuselage. Its right hand looked like Edward, a scissor hand, full of sharp blades, and the left hand was holding an unactivated wide chainsaw on his shoulder, opening his mouth and revealing his mouth full of fangs and shouting: "Welcome  to  the  underground  world?!!!"

Bang ~

The frightened wind chime stretched out its claws and slapped the clown in the head, immediately flipped it, and some sparks sprayed out from the cracked fault.

The store manager next to him saw this scene and felt a cold sweat. He twisted his neck uncomfortable.

"Hey, why are you standing there? Let's go!"

When Zhu Jue saw the wind chime dismantling the things, he hurriedly walked a few steps away from here, fearing that something strange would rush up to him and ask him to pay for money.

However, before I could run out a few steps, Zhu Jue stopped in place.

It wasn't because he was stopped by someone, but because he was confused by the surrounding situation.

The subway station here is extremely dark, and the distance between the two is basically more than 5 meters, so the other party's face and clothes are already blurred.

The rhythmic compact drum beats, combined with the low roar and some musical tunes that I don’t understand, fill the entire subway station. Just like the lighting incandescent lamps I saw in Haywood before, there is no one. They rely on searchlights hanging on the surrounding walls with a steel cover and the fluorescent coating lighting on the walls. They are not only not like a serious subway station, but more like a nightclub.

There were few people who were wearing normal clothes. Some people had strange patterns on their faces and were wandering around with orange night vision goggles. Some people only wore sleeveless leather jackets. The colorful tattoos on their chest changed into various shapes as they changed their pace. Some people showed their mechanical prosthetics with great fanfare. Judging from the shape and structure, even Zhu Jue, who didn't know much about this, knew that he had made illegal modifications. If he was placed on the ground and was photographed by a surveillance camera, he would be sent to prison immediately.

They are here unscrupulous!

What's even more strange is that Zhu Jue also saw several gang members with Moshikan hairstyle patrolling back and forth with a spear in their hands, and those who didn't know thought this was their territory.

What Zhu Jue didn’t know was that this subway station store was really their territory.

"As we all know, there are 6 subway lines in the entire Shuguang City, which connect the six urban areas of the city. Currently, only five of them are openly operated. Because the gang problem is extremely serious, the subway lines leading to Pasfica, a slum in Shuguang City, were abolished five years ago, and all stations on Line 6 were stopped operating, but this is just a superficial phenomenon... Please come with me, the waiting area is here."

The store manager took Zhu Jue to the platform, avoiding several waves of gang members in succession, and standing in front of the dilapidated full-height shielded door. The ambiguous breathing from the darkness not far away and the two entangled figures proved that there should be no camera here.

"You want to say that this is the abolished subway line?"

Zhu Jue felt the special atmosphere around him and asked directly.

"Yes, this line was abolished by the Shuguang City government on the surface, and all the original line sites were suspended. However, under the operation of the underground forces of Shuguang City, this line was started again three years ago, but it became a special train, which was only responsible for the connection between the two regions, Watson District and Pasfica District."

The store manager, who was unwilling to do so before, knew that he could not escape, so he simply explained intently, hoping to get some impression points from Zhujue, and just wanted not to be the donkey that had been removed from the mill.

Under the store manager's explanation, Zhu Jue became increasingly familiar with the situation in Watson District.

The so-called underground market in Watson District is actually located in the slums of Shuguang City, which is a city area that is regarded as a garbage concentration by the Shuguang City government. The bad impact of various black market transactions that are difficult to put on the table is much smaller than that in conventional urban areas.

The intentional subway station is placed in the lane of Watson District, on the one hand, because Pasfica itself is an extremely poor urban area, and people with a little savings will not live there, both gang members and buyers and sellers in the underground trading market. The purpose of opening this special train is to provide other people with a unified and reliable transportation route.

On the other hand, the government of Shuguang City agreed that this line would be opened in this form, and they also considered it. Instead of letting these gang members run around the city every day and eventually make other urban areas chaotic, it is easy to attract some followers. It is better to set up underground stations specifically in Watson District and tell ordinary people about the name of the underground black market to divert their attention and thus achieve the goal of covering up the real black market in Pasfica city.

Not long after, the train entered the station with a low whistling sound.

This train heading to Pasfica is even different from other trains. It is covered with strange graffiti. Zhu Jue found a lot of scratches and craters after getting close. It is obvious that the risk factor of riding on this train should be a bit high.

Zhu Jue even thought secretly that those people made the light at the subway station so dark, probably to prevent others from seeing the serious damage to the train.

"What are you looking at? Pay the money!"

As soon as I entered the train, someone shouted with a square iron box in his hand.

The store manager hurried forward and paid the two people's money before explaining to Zhu Jue: "The station here is watched by the Million Gang. They are responsible for making sure no one comes to cause trouble. The people who get on the bus here have to pay a fee of 100 federal dollars, which is said to be a ticket, but in fact it is a protection fee."

"The subway stations are all gangsters responsible?"

This way of collecting money one by one at the subway gate is really rare.

"There are no ordinary people here to take the bus. Even if the government sends people here, it's just asking for trouble. Moreover, it's also charged money there. It's an abandoned route, and to some extent it's outsourced to the gang forces here."

There is only one destination for the train from Watson District to take this train, that is the Pasfica Slum. In the eyes of the government, those who can go there are poor people even if they are not gangsters.

Do they go to death?

Zhu Jue refused to comment on the store manager's argument. He originally wanted to find a place to sit, but looked at the seats with strange stains. After thinking about it, he still didn't let his butt suffer. He just grabbed the ring and his eyes were stuck outside the train with a few lights occasionally flashing outside the train.

After about 30 minutes, the route indicator light at the top of the train door was pushed to the last station.

It was still the same as before. The store manager walked in front, while Zhu Jue followed him and went out from the exit to the east. There was no elevator here, but a long staircase. It was fine below. When he reached the middle section, the stone walls on both sides became a dilapidated.

Although I haven't seen the scene outside yet, the shouts coming from around the subway entrance are enough to prove the excitement around the nearby city.

"Mr. Zhu, please stay calm when you get to the ground later. Some genetic beasts may appear nearby, which were brought by several gangs that control the black market."

As if he suddenly remembered something, the store manager turned around and reminded him.

As if to respond to his words, Zhu Jue was about to say that he knew, two wolf heads that were larger than that popped out at the entrance of the subway station, with thick sharp claws slamming the walls, and the low roars revealed between the interlaced fangs made people chill from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's them. Gang members claimed that they could smell the police. They had bitten a few people to death before, but that was actually just their acting, so you don't need to...it seems that I'm thinking too much."

The store manager was thinking of comforting him, but when he looked at Zhu Jue, he found that there was not even a trace of nervousness on his face, but he just looked at the two genetic beasts with interest.

"Is it only this level? It looks much worse than the ones of Devo Gene Group."

Zhu Jue has seen the finished product of the Giant Beast Project, and he also killed one. It is obviously unlikely that this low-level genetic beast would scare him.

"Do you know people from the Devo Gene Group?"

The store manager next to him heard Zhu Jue talking about the name of the gene group and continued in surprise,

"Today there is a beast-taught war in the arena of the black market. They are all genetic beasts that can compete with the monsters from the source of spiritual pollution in the dangerous areas outside. It is said to be a very exciting battle. If you are interested, I can take you over and have a look."

The store manager thought that if he couldn't find someone at his address later, he had to find a place to divert the other party's attention. It would be best to escape quietly while Zhu Jue was watching the game.

Zhu Jue did not immediately reject the proposal. He still remembered the beast trainer plan. At that time, it was just the idea of ​​the siblings. Unexpectedly, 5 years later, the Devo Gene Group was successful.
Chapter completed!
