Chapter 412 When did you develop the illusion that I was a good person?

"Banxian, is there really no way you can use their chip to crack the account and extract the credit points from it?"

There was anticipation in Lu Wenwu's eyes, and his mouth was stuffed with nutritional paste, like a big cat from Northeast China that was eating while looking at the pot, eager to be fed.

This place is the base camp of the scavenger birds. Although the things stored here are not very valuable, it unexpectedly stores a lot of nutrient paste.

Now Lu Wenwu is showing off those low-quality ones to restore the physical strength he lost in the battle just now.

As an organization that does not possess any high-tech industries, the Carrion Bird's means of making money are relatively ordinary.

Originally, Lu Wenwu was thinking whether there might be something particularly valuable in the warehouse of the base camp, which he could then sell in the upper city and try to purchase some high-quality energy materials to increase the purity.

result

He was overthinking it.

Apart from nutritional paste and a large amount of DP, the rest of the warehouse are second-hand prostheses that have been recycled and repaired, as well as a large number of internationally manufactured weapons.

The power is neither big nor small, the upper limit is only the rocket launcher, and the lower limit is the cold weapon.

Maybe it’s because the elite troops were taken out by the vultures for the roundup operation.

Another place that looks like a cold storage is even more abstract. It is filled with living organs soaked in low-temperature liquid. I don’t know what it was originally used for.

At least now, they have become Lu Wenwu's food.

Maomao is now working with Liu Linan to collect the intact prosthetic bodies scattered on the ground.

Especially for something as fragile as artificial nerves, Maomao's outstanding mental power can play a very good role.

Wang Banxian, who had just broken through the firewall and gained control of the network of the scavenger bird base, put down the computer in his hand, looked at Lu Wenwu helplessly, and sighed deeply.

"My Fifth Brother, this isn't an online game account theft. Even anonymous accounts without heavily linked identity information are difficult to crack. Besides, we don't even know the usernames of those anonymous accounts."

"Stealing normal accounts is incredibly difficult. Aside from people like you who haven't had prosthetics implanted, almost everyone in Coconut Juice City has their normal accounts bound to a soul code. This means we can't forcibly retrieve the payment password even with the original device."

"While it's not completely impossible to transfer the stolen funds, it does mean a direct confrontation with the bank's cybersecurity department."

"If my cultivation level were still there, the computing power of my Nascent Soul would be enough to break through single-handedly."

"But I'm just a mortal now, and I can only rely on hardware to make up for this shortcoming, so at least until I have a real supercomputer, this is basically impossible."

"Well, I thought I could easily make a lot of money after killing people like those time-traveling protagonists." Lu Wenwu shrugged. "In the end, I'm not as good as V Zhentian. At least she can occasionally pick up money chips or something."

"If killing people really allowed them to steal cards at will, the basic order in the downtown area would have completely collapsed long ago, and everyone would be desperately trying to gain hacking skills."

As Wang Banxian spoke, he carried his computer and stepped into the darkroom door that Lu Wenwu had kicked open. He pulled out a data cable from his arm and plugged it into the computer in the darkroom along with the data cable on the computer.

"I tried to crack Vulture's computer. My ancestors' spirit in heaven told me that there should be something good inside. This device is physically disconnected from the network and is in offline mode."

"It would be better if it was worth some money, or if it had something that could help with the main quest." Lu Wenwu complained while eating the nutritional paste.

At this moment, Liu Linan walked in quickly, looking troubled. "Fifth brother, Maomao and I found a lot of people in the room over there. What should we do with them?"

"People? What people? The rest of the gang?" Lu Wenwu raised his eyebrows. "If you can handle it, do it yourself. I'm too lazy to go."

"Although the artificial bodies in the people here aren't from the mortal realm, the level of modification is damn high. The meat yield is so low that I can't even eat anything good."

Liu Linan: “.”

The man with a weathered face was sweating profusely, visibly.

He really wanted to ask, what exactly did you experience in your time?

How can you talk about this kind of thing so calmly?

“No, not the gang.”

Liu Linan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"There are a few cyber-madmen who were locked up after suffering mental disorders due to excessive prosthetic implants. There are also dozens of men, women, and a few children. They must be merchandise that the Scavenger Bird got from somewhere."

"I don't know if I've told you this before, but besides monopolizing waste recycling, the carrion birds also engage in human and organ trafficking. So what should we do with these imprisoned people?"

"Although I often say I have an incompatible relationship with gambling and drugs, the harm caused by prostitution is actually more than just sex. It's really troublesome." Lu Wenwu muttered to himself, waving his hand casually, "Let's lock up those cyberpsychopaths. I'll remove their prosthetics later. I'll release the rest. Don't ask me about this kind of thing in the future."

"But," Liu Linan hesitated, "given their identities, if we just let them go and leave them to fend for themselves, they might not survive more than three days."

In fact, Liu Linan was being conservative by saying three days.

It may be a question whether most of the people here can see the sun tomorrow.

"So, what does that have to do with me? Old Liu, am I being too nice to you, giving you the illusion that I, Lu, am a good person?"

Lu Wenwu stopped eating, a puzzled look on his face.

"They were either abducted for their organs, or sold to who knows where and forced to perform. I've saved them now and given them a chance to live. Do I have to take care of them for the rest of their lives?"

Liu Linan's face suddenly became a little panicked, and he quickly explained: "I... I didn't mean that. I just..."

"You are just too kind-hearted. This is a good quality, but this city cannot tolerate your kindness."

Lu Wenwu shook his head and casually grabbed dozens of nutritional pastes from the large box of nutritional paste he was holding and threw them on the table next to him.

"Give each person one stick and a bottle of water. After finishing, send them away quickly. You want to control everything? How capable are you? You still want to arrange a way out for them? If you have some ability, you might as well pay back the loan sharks first."

"Oh yeah, didn't we just seize some medical supplies? Keep what you need and any potions worth more than 10,000 credits. You can give as much as you want to anyone else who's sick."

"You and them will be given five minutes. If you insist on not leaving, you will die."

“.”

Liu Linan was silent for about ten seconds, took off his coat, packed a bag of medium and low-level nutritional pastes, bowed to Lu Wenwu, and then left staggeringly.

After he was completely gone, Wang Banxian, his eyes flashing with data streams, suddenly said: "With this silly cripple's personality, if it weren't for me, he would have been killed long ago."

"So I've already notified Maomao to go over and keep an eye on it."

Lu Wenwu sneered and continued eating where he had just stopped.

“How many do you think will be left in the end?”

"It's hard to say. If Maomao had acted sooner, maybe only seven or eight would have died," Wang Banxian replied without even looking up. "As much as I hate to admit it, working 996 at the company might actually be a blessing for the old cripple. At least he doesn't have to worry about having his body parts dug out."

"It's a blatant cannibalistic society. They don't eat people simply because they don't have the ability. They're eager to seize any opportunity to turn things around. It's even more outrageous than the underworld trying to cultivate immortality." Lu Wenwu shook his head. "Tell me, how did this guy survive before you came?"

"I've inquired about it. He lives in his small apartment and sells scrap on weekdays. He mainly relies on savings."

A helpless smile flashed across Wang Banxian's face. He was probably helpless about Liu Linan's naivety, but also glad that he had "no life experience."

"I don't know whether to say he's just a fool with good fortune or because he was lazy and didn't know the difference between crops before. Anyway, he only became a professional scavenger after I had already gained some fame. Before that, he was just a ragpicker."

"Well, I have to admit, he's a lucky guy."

Lu Wenwu finished the last piece of high-quality nutritional paste, so he stood up from the table where he was sitting.

He wasn't going to eat anymore.

Medium and low-level nutritional pastes can restore too little energy.

Plus, it's completely tasteless and really unpalatable.

"Although you say you are not a good person, your actions are quite honest! If we don't drive them away quickly, when the large group of scavenger birds comes back, they will probably die in the aftermath of the battlefield. Few of them will survive." Wang Banxian teased.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just want Old Liu to know how sinister people are." Lu Wenwu let out a sly smile. "Giving out free supplies in a place like this, without absolute strength, he wouldn't be able to survive even if he had eighty lives. I hope this will help him grow."

At this moment, some faint screams and wails were heard outside, and the sound was transmitted to the ears of the two people due to the sound-collecting effect of the underground.

Lu Wenwu glanced in the direction of the voice and patted Wang Banxian on the shoulder:

"Congratulations, you lost. You've somewhat overestimated the moral standards of the locals. More than half of them directly participated in the riot. About two-thirds were targeting Old Liu, while the rest were trying to steal supplies from others. It's a shame you couldn't see the dull, yet tinged with grief and indignation, expression on Old Liu's face."

"This garbage city, destroy it immediately! You're just too awful! The image of you as a cool and powerful person in my mind has completely collapsed."

Wang Banxian's eyes were filled with despair and he muttered helplessly.

"What the hell is this idiot Vulture got installed on his computer? It's completely useless! Why is it nothing but erotic Mewtwo?! For a gangster boss, he's always looking at this? I don't understand."

"Maybe it's the same reason why drug dealers don't take drugs themselves." Lu Wenwu stretched out his fingers and waved them. "Although this city does have advanced medical facilities, Vulture probably doesn't want to risk getting a man-made enhanced bull. And I heard that Mewtwo is much more enjoyable than the real thing?"

"It is indeed true. After all, it directly stimulates the brain to secrete hormones. This kind of stimulation is difficult to achieve through normal physiological means. It is comparable to the lesser dual cultivation method of integrating the body and soul."

Wang Banxian felt very complicated and didn't know how to comment on this.

Otherwise, why do we say that astringency is the primary productive force?

He found it difficult to understand that the brain-computer Mewtwo had almost touched the realm of the soul, but normal means targeting the soul were completely useless.

The room fell silent for a moment because of this strange topic.

Anyway, the fact that a gangster's computer is loaded with a bunch of pornographic movies is indeed somewhat abstract.

Another five or six minutes passed before Wang Banxian spoke again: "I can only say that the Vulture's situation is probably just... Damn it! It's exhausted! Shipment!"

Wang Banxian's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he immediately became energetic, typing rapidly on the keyboard with both hands.

"I found a secret safe in Vulture. Let me crack the security key. It'll probably take about half an hour. The encryption is quite high. I think we've unearthed a treasure!"

"Just fix it first, then come back to life."

Lu Wenwu looked up at the reinforced concrete structure above, and a lot of information about this underground warehouse flashed in his eyes.

This place is buried very deep, and the fighting on the ground should not cause it to collapse.

"Seal off all entrances except the main passage. Maomao and I will go up first."

"You're back? So soon!" Wang Banxian was shocked when he realized what had happened. "Don't you need my help? Although most of the prosthetics on my body are for saving my life, my combat ability is also very strong!"

"That's not necessary. Just help me get the baby out."

Lu Wenwu waved his hand, thought for a moment before leaving, turned around and grabbed a handful of nutritional paste, stuffed his mouth full, and then strode out.

With every step he took, his aura grew stronger, like a burning torch.

On the ground, a large number of ferocious modified cars with a wasteland style braked at the same time, surrounding the entire base of the scavenger birds.

The former base.

The buildings on the ground looked like they had been plowed by a storm, and they were leaning and twisting all over the place.

Countless traces of explosions and bullet holes covered the large area of ​​wreckage here, and there were also faint traces of being hit by some heavy blunt weapon like a battering ram.

"Boss, something's wrong. Our place is too quiet. And the base's control has been taken away. They have experts," a henchman with dyed green hair whispered. "There are only traces of fighting outside, but no blood sacrifice. I suspect Deputy Crow Gang Leader... is rebelling?"

The vulture glanced at the younger brother with its cold, sharp eyes like a hawk, without saying a word.

Crow was one of the first few brothers to follow him, so no one had any reason to rebel against him.

He once heard an ancient Dragon Kingdom proverb from ancient times in the Upper City: When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Something must have happened that was beyond my comprehension!

"Move all the big guys out of the car and be ready to fire at any time." Vulture said coldly.

Just now, his life radar scanned two extremely obvious life reactions in the wreckage of the building.

Moreover, the reaction was too strong. The values ​​fed back by the radar did not look like those of a human being at all. Instead, they looked like those of a biochemically modified war beast in the upper city!

Suddenly, a tall figure with a big dog suddenly appeared on the ground.

No one noticed how he appeared, looking like a ghost.

"Good things are never too late. I hope you can give me some surprises."
