Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 43: Qian Tiao comes to the rescue
"Get ready to fight."
"Yeah."
Neither Su Lun nor Kai are characters who accept their fate easily, even if they are in such a desperate situation.
Now that there is no room in the alley for them to retreat, they plan to wait for the monster to dig through the gravel blocking the door before making a final charge.
This wave will probably determine the life or death of the two of them.
However, what they didn't expect was that just when the monster was about to dig into the armored rocks, the gunshots that had been extinguished outside suddenly rang out again
"Reinforcements are coming?"
Su Lun and Kai looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.
The only ones who can come to save them are the veterans of Green Street.
However, with so many monsters and none of them being professional, how could they rush in?
Kai thought of something and said: "There should be high-level professionals coming! I hope they are not enemies..."
Su Lun shook the musket in his hand and said sharply: "No matter who is coming, the monsters outside have been attracted by the sound of gunfire. This is our best chance to rush out."
"Yeah."
Kayi nodded, "Then I will take action?"
Su Lun nodded.
Kai took a deep breath of air, the mantis blades on his arms flashed with cold light, and several cracks appeared on the gravel wall.
"Charge!"
After a quick shout, Kai smashed the rocks and rushed out first.
Su Lun did not hesitate and followed closely.
The two of them had already made plans to face a tidal wave of monsters and a fierce battle after they rushed out. I didn't expect that when I rushed out, I missed everything!
Looking closely, apart from the corpses they had killed on the ground, there was not a single living monster in the tunnel.
Looking at it again, not far away, a group of people were fighting monsters.
The two leading men were a green-haired Rakshasa with four arms and holding four long knives, with an awe-inspiring aura; the other was as tall as a bear, with muscles as knotted as rocks, and his whole body was red.
One of the two waved his arms, chopping melons and vegetables among the monsters, with broken limbs and arms flying around; the other ran rampant like a bull, and could blow up the monster's body with one punch, and blood and flesh spattered, cruel. Extremely.
Just these two people swept away, leaving corpses all over the ground.
"This... is so strong!"
Su Lun's eyes widened when he saw it. Although he had never seen Qian Jiao **** the alchemy plant, he looked at the familiar four-handled long knives and recognized the gambling-addicted young woman.
As for the other red-skinned giant, he was deeply impressed. He was actually the second-level professional "Red Devil" Goron who appeared in the arena!
.......
Didn’t Su Lun understand that Senjou had gone back to the headquarters?
And why did Gron come to the rescue? Could it be that he joined the Cross?
Su Lun and Su Lun never expected that it would be these two people who came to the rescue.
The Green Street veterans who were following the two big guys saw Su Lun and Kai and exclaimed: "Captain, it's Captain Kai!"
The veterans rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the captain was fine.
"Wow, Captain, you are so handsome, you actually killed so many monsters."
"Haha, let me tell you, the captain will be fine."
"Captain is mighty~"
"..."
The veterans booed for a while, as long as the captain is not dead, this is the greatest blessing.
At this time, all the aberrant monsters in the tunnel had been killed.
The remaining scattered ones also fled back to the depths of the tunnel.
Qianjo looked at Su Lun and the two of them, with an expression of relief in his eyes.
Putting away the long knife, the tattoo melted back into the tattoo.
She walked over and joked: "Hey, little Kai, you are really lucky..."
Kai's mentality was good. As soon as he was out of danger, a smile appeared on his face: "Sister Senjo, thank you for coming in time. If it were a little later, he would probably have to come and collect the bodies for us."
After a pause, he asked: "Hey...Sister Qianjo, haven't you returned to the headquarters? Why are you here?"
Qianjo explained: "Mr. Goron and I were discussing something, and we happened to be in the nearby Sequoia neighborhood. I heard that you were ambushed by the Steam Party, so I rushed here..."
As she spoke, she looked at the corpses of monsters on the ground, with a hint of surprise on her face.
The number of corpses is a bit shocking.
And if you look closely, you can see that there are two types of wounds on the monster corpse on the ground, one is a gunshot wound and the other is a knife cut.
The knife cuts were naturally caused by Kai’s ability, but what about those gunshot wounds?
With Qian Jiao's vision, he could naturally tell at a glance that most of the gunshot wounds on the corpses of the aberrant monsters were killed by one shot.
One or two wounds may be said to be luck. They all have wounds like this, so this marksmanship is somewhat rare.
Thinking of this, Qianjou seemed to have guessed something. He looked at Su Lun, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Because she had become familiar with each other in the casino before, her conversation with Su Lun was not very lively. However, she did not mention the issue of the body on the ground, but just asked: "Su Lun, are you okay?"
"It's okay. Thank you, Sister Senjo."
Su Lun didn't intend to say anything more and smiled politely at Qian Jiao.
Let Kai do the limelight thing, and just quietly be his little transparent one.
Qianjou didn't ask any more questions, and said: "It's okay, let's go out first. There are weird things underground here, and there may be special distorted substances. It's best not to stay too long..."
Of course she also noticed that there were an unusual number of monsters in this cave, and almost all of them were new species.
There must be powerful distortion factors in the environment.
If nothing else, it may not be safe if you stay here for a long time.
After hearing this, everyone did not dare to delay. They simply cleaned up the battlefield and then exited the Tongzi Tower together.
......
Breathing the outside air, Su Lun felt his whole body relax. , the high-intensity battle made him a little tired
Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed on the ground, a cold look appeared on the rescued Kai's face, and he immediately called out to the brothers: "Brothers, let's go, now it's our turn to find trouble with those sons of **** in the Steam Party." Got it!"
“How dare those guys from the Steam Party come to our territory to run wild, we must break their legs this time!”
"So many brothers died this time, we must give us an explanation!"
"Yes, **** him!"
"..."
The veterans were all very excited when they heard that they were going to fight on the Steam Party's territory.
Qianjou on the side didn't seem to be surprised at all by Kai's decision, nor did he try to persuade him. Instead, he said with a nonchalant expression on his face, "If you want to fight, get there early, otherwise the cadres on both sides will end up sitting down." At the negotiation table, if we don’t say that our losses were in vain, we will definitely have to pay compensation. It’s just that the brothers’ death was not worth it.”
But a fight is a fight, and some people also raised questions: "Sister Qianjo, if we go there in such a big way, won't the other party come and wait to surround us? What if some cadres end up..."
Qian Tiao was already familiar with this kind of conflict and said with a firm tone: "Don't worry, no matter how shameless those guys from the Steam Party are, they will have to suffer the loss this time. Although their cadres will definitely come forward, Jianghu We still have to follow the rules, and we definitely won’t be able to fight.”
After a pause, she said lazily: "Besides, there are Mr. Gron and me. If something unexpected happens, we Cross Society cadres are not vegetarians."
After hearing what Qian Tiao said, everyone in the Cross Club felt confident.
Qian Jiao looked at everyone going to take revenge, then looked at Su Lun who was silent on the side. He probably explained something specifically for the two survivors: "This time the Steam Party stretched its hands so far, and the relationship with the inner city plutocrats are directly related to the infighting. But many of these matters are negotiated by the president and others, and involve some high-level games. I can’t go into details..."
This means that in high-level games, conflicts are expected and inevitable.
Green Street is a very oily "fat place" in the outer city, and it happens to be on the boundary between the two gangs. As a defender, you cannot take the initiative to attack, but if you are beaten, you must fight back.
Su Lun listened on the side, and in an instant he understood the meaning of Qian's words.
This ambush was more than a simple territorial conflict.
It's like the border issues between big countries in previous lives. It is foreseeable that there will be conflicts, but we cannot directly use atomic bombs to preemptively strike at others just because we anticipate conflicts.
There are too many interests involved behind this, and the game between international forces.
The "Cross Club" and the "Steam Party" are the two largest gangs in the outer city of Old Town. They not only involve countless gangs, many industries, and many related forces, but also involve the financial backers behind the scenes in the inner city. Benefit.
It is normal for people and machines to fight for turf below, and it is also the competition method tacitly approved by the top management of both sides.
With small friction and small losses, you can still make a difference.
This is how gangsters fight for territory. Either they are beaten down, or they cannot afford to give up and give up their territory.
The Steam Party and the Cross Society fought countless times over Green Street.
Kai's previous Captain Green Street was killed in a fight between the two sides.
Everyone wants oil and water, but it is impossible for adults to end up in trouble every time a child fights.
If it's a small matter, the top brass will start fighting, and it may eventually turn into an all-out war between the two gangs.
No one can afford the consequences of such a large-scale war.
Even the presidents of two gangs!
Without the disobedient "Steam Party", the inner city financiers can immediately support a "Steam Party"... Interests are eternal, not competition for victory.
Although it sounds cruel, in Old Town, the outer city, and the gangs, the lives of people at the bottom are so worthless.
The gangsters have also been awakened for a long time.
.......
Originally, for today's sneak attack, as long as the Steam Party did a clean job and killed Kai and his team, there would be no trouble at all.
This is also the normal state of gang fighting.
Although everyone knows who did it, there is nothing anyone can do if gang fights are not caught. You can also send people to assassinate you, provided that no one gets caught.
But now, Kai and Suellen survived, and the bodies of the Steam Party members were still lying on the territory of Green Street.
The nature of things has changed.
This is the handle.
The Steam Party is in the wrong. Now Kai and the others are going to fight back, but the other party has no temper at all.
.......
Kayi acted decisively as always.
He simply treated his injuries, then gathered hundreds of people from nearby blocks and headed straight for the Steam Party's territory.
They directly took over "Red Hair" Kuntu's territory, and finally wanted to challenge the Sith's territory again, but before they had time, they were stopped by the Steam Party cadres as expected.
Then, the cadres from both sides left and went to the negotiating table, and the fighting stopped.
Compensate, cede territory, and make a temporary settlement.
This is old standard procedure.
Su Lun didn't care about high-level negotiations, but he followed and harvested a lot of fragments.
It has to be said that the Steam Party is worthy of being called the "new faction", and the mechanical level of the members is indeed much higher than that of ordinary people. Any gang member is more or less proficient in some mechanical knowledge. After picking a few places, Su Lun peeled off a lot of mechanical knowledge, and went directly from a mechanical novice to an "intermediate mechanical introduction".
After this battle, the Steam Party will probably be dormant for a long time.
Su Lun also had time to steadily improve himself.
But after the fierce battle at Tongzi Tower, his need for alchemical plant equipment became more and more urgent. The combat power of professionals without implants is much lower than that of those with implants. Marksmanship alone is not enough to survive in the cruel outer city.
Finally, a few days later, the monthly black market auction started.
