Chapter 314 The Heroine Saves the Beauty

Chapter 314 The Heroine Saves the Beauty

Xiangjiang, a slum of bones.

In any city where a monster has attacked, there will be a person active: if the monster falls one second, he will be at the scene the next. He will bribe local officials and buy his men enough time to clean up the monster's body.

The trade in monster parts is one of the largest “tax-free” (really “illegal”) industries in the world, far surpassing the trade in endangered species. In the past, tiger blood, bear bile, rhinoceros horns, etc. were enthusiastically sought after, but now people believe that the benefits brought by those rare items (or the benefits they thought they could bring) are all available in monsters, so monster fragments have become New favorite.

The godfather of this industry is none other than Hannibal Chow.

They just didn't expect that Hannibal Zhou, whom Fu Qinghai and Zofia had been thinking about for a long time, had already been captured first.

…

Two days ago.

There were dark clouds overhead, reflecting back the lights from the city. The entire area was shrouded in pink dim light, making it look a bit sickly. This fit perfectly with the atmosphere of the Skeleton Slum. An invisible barrier formed around Lust, pushing against the crowd around him and creating a palm-width gap.

The alchemist walked deeper down the alley.

Like most areas in Hong Kong, especially old areas like Kowloon, or more specifically those seemingly old areas in Kowloon, after all, these places were built after monster attacks - this alley is lined with not only The back doors are lined up one after another, and there are also various shops and houses.

Here, there is little distinction between streets and alleys. The people here stared at Lust with an extremely indifferent expression that did not care about the life and death of others.

Lust didn't care, he looked around.

Finally, on the front of a small drug store, a monster logo flashed into view - exactly like the plot in the movie.

Sure enough, the alchemist thought to himself.

For people like Hannibal Chow who make a living from monster parts, isn't a drugstore the best place to do business?

Lust walked into the drugstore, and an elderly Chinese man looked over. He was holding a pestle in his hand and was pounding some kind of paste in the mortar.

"Want to buy bone meal?"

he asked Laust mysteriously.

"Why should I buy this?"

Lust asked with a frown.

"Aphrodisiac."

The old man glanced sideways at him, with a lewd smile on his face.

"Guaranteed to be 100% authentic. I collected it myself and tried it myself."

The old man's pride was palpable. After all, not everyone dared to dig up the monster's corpse, which contained a large amount of extremely lethal and corrosive acidic substances.

"I'm looking for Hannibal Chow."

Lust bluntly stated his intention and hinted calmly:

"Marshal Panticost introduced me."

The old man raised his head from the table, his expression changing subtly.

Then he walked to the store door, turned over the business sign, and then locked the door. He led Luster to a small shelf and lightly touched the mechanism on the shelf.

A secret door slowly slid open, revealing a large row of shelves with various jars neatly placed on them.

An amber light shines on the back of the jar, reflecting the various monster specimens soaked in the solution.

"Good luck."

The old man said something and walked away.

Then, the row of shelves slid open again, and there was actually a row of shelves behind it. Then the second and third rows of shelves moved one after another. After the third row of shelves slid open... Lust stepped into Hannibal Zhou's room. A mysterious paradise.

This world is larger than the drug store outside. The walls around the room are lined with shelves, filled with all kinds of specimens from the monsters: basketball-sized lymph nodes, nerve bundles, small glands, organ slices, skin and carapace. fragments, mucus extracted from the vitreous body, and some unknown fragments that perhaps only Hannibal Zhou could recognize.

Luster's breathing quickened.

This is what he wants.

At the back of the room, a group of rugged men from different races stood majestically with cold and ruthless eyes - Hannibal Zhou's bodyguards.

Under their close surveillance, workers at two long tables were busy skinning and cutting the remains of the monster, just like the lively scene of preparing food before a restaurant opens.

The workers were expressionless and silent.

It seems that no one cares about the existence of Lust. The workers are all working hard. The strong men lean on the handrail of the stairs to monitor, and occasionally chat in Chinese.

Unable to understand Chinese, Laust walked directly to a fish tank filled with crab-like creatures.

"The monster skin parasite is still alive."

Laust muttered.

"You can soak them in ammonia and they won't die."

One of the strong men spoke.

Lust looked up.

This strong man is tall and burly, wearing a dark red suit, and the leather toe caps are covered with overlapping layers of pure gold flakes like fish scales, making a slight tinkling sound with every step he takes.

His teeth are inlaid with various metals, and each piece of metal has a different pattern. The sunglasses on the bridge of his nose have a leather film around the lenses, which looks more like goggles. The jewelry he wears all over his body is dazzling. , shining brightly.

"You don't look like someone from PPDC...who are you? What are you doing here?"

The richly dressed man asked in a deep voice.

"Hannibal Chow?"

Lust asked slowly.

Dressed in swaggering retro fashions and wearing gold teeth that show off his wealth, there is no doubt that this is Hannibal Chow.

"Do you like this name?"

Hannibal Zhoupi asked with a smile.

“Named after my favorite historical figure and my second favorite Brooklyn Sichuan restaurant.”

The bodyguards in black around them took out their pistols and slowly gathered around. A tall man pulled out a butterfly knife from his chest, dazzled it between his fingers, and approached step by step.

"Now, honestly tell me who you are and what your purpose is, otherwise I will kill you like a pig and feed you to parasites."

Hannibal Zhou said viciously.

"Hehehe..."

Lust smiled contemptuously upon hearing this.

He just raised his hand and gave it a gentle push.

"Wow!"

The group of bodyguards in black seemed to be struck by some invisible force, and instantly flew backwards, knocking over the rows of shelves and specimen storage tanks behind them with a sudden crash, shocking the workers present to stop their movements, Hannibal ·Zhou’s jaw opened wide, as if he had seen a ghost.

Force push.

It's exactly the same move that Obi-Wan Kenobi used to push away a large group of B1 battle droids.

Luster's middle and index fingers made a pinching gesture, and Hannibal Zhou was automatically suspended in the air uncontrollably. He kicked his feet and struggled desperately. He covered his neck with his hands, with a horrified expression on his face and a suppressed look on his face. Got to be red.

Lust laughed wildly.

Yes, his lightsaber is gone, and his screaming beetle and golden finger tiger have been robbed, but he is still a Warcraft + Star Wars double alchemist and a Sith warrior.

In the Pacific Rim universe, a reincarnation world that lacks high-end personal combat power, even a Sith warrior without the spare force of a lightsaber is enough to sweep away these natives.

"Whoosh——"

At this time, a sharp sound broke through the air.

A dart spun straight towards Lust, but he just tilted his head to avoid the dart, and then snapped his fingers with his left hand to the empty left.

"despair!"

There seemed to be a flash of light, but it seemed like it was just an illusion.

"ah!"

With a scream, a masked man in a black tight-fitting special warfare uniform emerged from his invisibility, covered his eyes and fell to the ground, still holding two samurai swords in his hands.

Blinded by the Force.

This move was easily broken by Lust.

"Look who this is? Naiden, Naiden the Black Snake from the GI Joe universe, I know you."

Lust held Hannibal Zhou in the air with one hand and said unhurriedly:

"Didn't anyone tell you that stealth and sneak attacks are useless against Force users?"

Hannibal Zhou's bodyguards were covered in blood, their bodies were on the verge of falling apart, and they were groaning and unable to stand up.

Lust pointed a finger at the black snake Naiden, and shot out a thin white lightning with a "crack" sound, hitting him, causing him to let out a heart-piercing scream.

"Ahhhh——"

Force lightning.

It represents the most extreme torture of the dark side of the Force.

"Spare...spare me."

Naiden, the black snake, curled up into a ball in pain.

"Give me a reason."

Lust said with an evil smile.

Naiden huddled on the ground and had no choice but to grit his teeth and use a reincarnation tool to try his luck.

[Pioneer camp reincarnation]

Lust received a hint in the back of his mind:

[The reincarnator used the flop hand]

"Aha."

The alchemist suddenly grinned, raised his hand, and an invisible force lifted Naiden who was curled up on the ground. Luster changed his expression and said:

"It turned out to be teammates from the same camp. There was a misunderstanding. Well, you convinced me, Black Snake Naiden."

After dealing with the matter of Black Snake Neden, Laust turned to look at the dying Hannibal Zhou and said:

"Now, Mr. Hannibal, or Mr. Zhou... I don't know which one you prefer to call me, can we sit down and have a chat in peace now?"

…………

China, the magic city.

The fourth floor of Sun City, No. 299 Hengfeng Road.

MODU CLUB.

This is an electronic music behemoth with luxurious and top-notch configurations, and the decoration adopts an industrial and cold style. Screen lifting equipment, 3D stereo surround sound system, the entire venue uses top European equipment D\u0026amp;B, 4D holographic projection, 12-meter extra-long bar...

Famous label managers design the stage, and the world's top 100 DJs are on site for a long time. Occasionally, Grammy winners come to tour... Marketing director Xie Moufeng, and shareholders behind the scenes Liu Moulin and Zheng Mokai are all listening. A familiar name.

Oh, by the way, this is a nightclub.

Monsters threaten humanity at all times, shipping is blocked, fisheries are in decline, the Pacific Rim coast is gradually deserted, the global economy continues to decline, and coastal people are displaced...

However, all this does not allow them to give up their enjoyment, feasting and revelry. On the contrary, perhaps it is precisely because the threat of monsters is shrouded in dark clouds that people have more thoughts of carpe diem and get drunk now.

Jiang Yixia sat next to the bar bored.

In the real world, she couldn't afford to go to a place like this where the per capita consumption was two to three thousand, but for reincarnators, most forms of currency have lost their meaning.

Jiang Yixia played with the champagne glass in her hand and looked across the crowd on the dance floor to the singer on the center stage.

"Everyone, please listen to me."

The music died down and the crowd grew quiet.

The Latina singer said:

"We have lost too many mecha pilots in the past period! Alexis Kedanovs, Kisasha Kedanovs, Wei Chang, Wei Jin, Wei Hu... We must let these brave and fearless heroes know that their selfless dedication is of great significance to mankind!"

Jiang Yixia heard someone say that the person on stage seemed to be a Grammy winner who came here specifically to perform a charity performance.

"We have friends all over the world, from Tokyo to Tallahassee! From Detroit to Abu Dhabi! Although some places are not part of the Pacific Rim, people from there are also fighting tenaciously! Please defend these places Human beings, warriors who fear death, extend a helping hand to express our high respect."

"All proceeds from this show will be donated to the families and descendants of those heroes."

"May your soul rest in peace and have a safe journey."

Can’t PPDC even afford pensions?

This was Jiang Yixia's first reaction.

"Next, I will bring you a song, "Monster Poison Blue", composed by the Mukluk Anti-Future Project Team, so that we can mourn the heroes."

"The monster Poison Blue is going to kill me."

"It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman."

"Don't even think about escaping from its grasp."

"The monster Poison Blue is going to kill me."

"But I don't flinch at all."

"You have been with me all the way..."

The blood of all monsters is a fluorescent bright blue and is highly toxic and corrosive. This is the origin of the term "monster poison blue".

As the singer on stage finished singing the last line of the lyrics, everyone present bowed their heads quietly to express their solemnity and condolences... Then as the resident DJ reset the rhythm, everyone began to sway wildly again.

Jiang Yixia: "..."

"How ironic!"

One person spoke her mind.

Jiang Yixia turned around and saw a woman sitting a few meters away from her. That person had her back to Jiang Yixia. She was wearing a white suit and looked energetic and capable.

The woman raised her glass and took a sip, then commented unceremoniously:

"To defeat monsters, we don't rely on science and technology, but on these illusory slogans and charity performances... We don't even know who's pocketing the money. They're a bunch of hypocrites."

"Hey, what are you talking about!"

"If you don't donate money, forget it. Why are you so upset here?"

Several young men in the booth at the next table couldn't stand listening any more. They all stood up and walked to the bar aggressively, as if they were going to cause trouble for this woman.

Are you looking for trouble? Inexplicable.

Jiang Yixia frowned.

Why does it feel...a little deliberate?

However, the woman in white was obviously not someone to be trifled with. As several young men gathered around, four or five strong men in suits and sunglasses quickly came around. They stood in front of the woman in white and pushed towards the young men. man.

Then Jiang Yixia saw it.

The skin of the three young men in ordinary clothes suddenly cracked open, and cybernetic-modified hidden firearms protruded from them, and they opened fire brazenly at the bodyguards in front of them!

"Da da da da da..."

Reincarnator!

Jiang Yixia understood it at that time.

The woman in white was targeted by the Reincarnators. Although it was still unclear which camp the three young men belonged to, it at least showed that she was not just a passer-by and was definitely a key plot character.

Without any time to think, Jiang Yixia jumped up and took action decisively. She-Hulk shouted loudly, her muscles bulged, and she shot out like lightning. With one punch, she knocked away the Samsara who had just killed the bodyguard. Towards the center of the crowded dance floor, he knocked down a group of men and women shaking their heads.

That is this moment.

The moment he passed by the other two reincarnators, Jiang Yixia subconsciously turned his head and saw the face of the woman in white.

The other party was obviously drunk, his face with delicate makeup was red, and his expression was full of panic and bewilderment.

Jing Tian! ?

Jiang Yixia was a little confused.

Does it turn out that Pacific Rim also belongs to Jingtian’s universe?
