Chapter 44 Disturbing Flute Sounds
Following several gang members, Heshia took the return bus and then walked into the vertical elevator again.
Not long after, the elevator reached the top and returned to the remote bar. It was already 1 a.m.
Facing the cool night wind, the girl walked on the street, still thinking about the scenes she saw underground. Although the people in the lower residential areas of Arpeggio City had a hard life, they were not completely unable to survive.
It was just that the noisy information and the various comparisons made people gradually forget these details of life.
Residents in the Federation, even if they lost all their jobs, would not starve to death on the streets. Walking on the streets and residential areas, there are generally simple guard booths at intervals, with riot control robots parked inside to maintain the stability of public security. With dense surveillance, few criminals can escape the police's pursuit.
You can say that there are many corrupt places in the Federation, but it is not so ugly that people are forced to the point where they can't survive.
With the progress of the times and the unprecedented improvement of productivity, the basic food and materials needed to feed a person have become extremely cheap. Just a small grain from the huge industrial system is enough to provide them.
But people's desires will also grow. When everyone can breathe air, no one will think that being able to breathe air freely is such a great thing.
Isn't this a matter of course? Everyone thinks so, and then pursues something that is beyond the people around them and different from others.
Heshia walked through the dim and deserted streets and came to a vertical elevator, waiting quietly.
She didn't mean to say that this approach was wrong. Everyone has the freedom to pursue their own ideals and wishes, and should not be criticized or blamed. It's just that the comfort that exists at the starting point makes people gradually forget the hard-won peace in front of them.
The elevator door opened, she jumped in lightly, and then pressed the number of floors in her residential area. Then the elevator started, and layer after layer of light and shadow passed through her coat through the glass.
Time flows quietly, and the times slowly move forward. The pain of the past disappears, but new anxiety arises again.
Never be satisfied, never stop comparing, this is the source of human pain, and it is also the ladder of progress.
The girl sighed and walked out of the elevator after it arrived, and then returned to the familiar streets and scenery.
Forget it, forget it, let's not think about these distant truths every day. I came back so late today, I don't know if I can sleep well, I have to go to work tomorrow. It would be great
if I didn't have to go to work one day, the girl prayed silently in her heart.

Underground world, the location of the "Zhenshan Office" team.
"Luther, are you ready?" Yang Che stood in the middle of the passage, constantly firing at the monsters that suddenly attacked, some of which were humanoid and some were beast-shaped.
"Okay, boss."
Then, accompanied by an explosion and collapse, a large hole appeared on the top of the cave not far away.
"Very good, keep bombing, there should be an exit above."
The two had previously explored the upper part of this area through the Eight Mountain Plate and found that there was a huge hole, which should be connected to many places. They could also use it to transfer and avoid the pursuit of these flesh and blood monsters, instead of escaping in a dead end.
While the two were blasting away, Qiao Long was also chasing the invisible figure on the other side of the underground world. Although he couldn't see it, he could tell its approximate location and direction by the sound of its footsteps.
It would definitely not work in a noisy place on the ground, but here, besides Qiao Long, there was only the other party.
"You, since you killed so many of us, pay with your life." Qiao Long looked straight in a certain direction in the cave, walked over step by step, and constantly used words to interfere and stimulate the other party. He usually didn't talk much, but at this time he also used some of the methods used in the underground world.
"Hidden here, are you scared, or are you ready to surrender?" He slowly lightened his footsteps, and his voice became more and more fluctuating.
The other party still didn't respond, and Qiao Long no longer hesitated. He decisively crushed the blue crystal in his hand, and the blue crystal mist instantly dispersed and spread in all directions.
In this flickering crystal mist, the outline of a human figure finally appeared. It seemed to be a man.
"I found you." Qiao Long kicked his feet and rushed over directly, bringing a whistling sound of breaking through the air.
Then he punched out, shattering the rock wall behind the man, but unfortunately the other party still escaped.
"Damn it." The other party cursed, then turned and ran, and the two chased again.
However, this chase did not last too long. Soon there was a huge shock under the feet, and then with a bang, the ground cracked and a pit fell, and there were bursts of gunfire below.
"It exploded, boss."
Luther looked at the hole above his head and shouted excitedly. At this time, Yang Che also began to move, and let the remaining teammates support each other and slowly retreat.
"This is..." Qiao Long looked down, frowning, wondering how these people appeared, while the figure on the opposite side stained with crystal mist jumped directly into the pit.
"Catch him, he is the culprit who caused this chaos!" Qiao Long didn't know the specific identity of the other party, but he knew that since they were fighting those flesh and blood monsters, they were the enemy of the enemy.
"Who!" The people below were surprised, and then looked at the black shadow that landed on the ground.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Several blue bullet marks penetrated the darkness and hit the fleeing figure directly. One shot missed, one shot hit the opponent's chest, and one shot hit the shoulder.
A flash of light flashed on the black shadow, and finally revealed his figure. He was wearing a special gray and black jumpsuit, which seemed to be made of special materials and had a stealth effect, but it was currently partially damaged and could not be fully effective.
After dodging several times, the black shadow once again drilled behind a huge rock pillar to temporarily avoid bullets.
"Bang!" Then Qiao Long also jumped down from the pit, step by step approaching the figure hiding behind the rock pillar.
However, just as everyone was nervously observing the situation and confrontation, a flute sound came from behind the rock pillar, making people dizzy, and some low-level members even began to dizzy.
"Not good." Luther covered his head and stood unsteadily, constantly hitting his head, trying to wake himself up.
In the field, apart from him, only Qiao Long and Yang Che could remain awake. The others fell to the ground, twisting and screaming, as if someone was sawing their heads with a saw.
This mental attack not only disturbed everyone present, but also attracted the flesh and blood monsters in the distance, who began to attack again.
In order to protect his teammates, Yang Che had to turn the muzzle of his gun and go back to shoot the approaching monsters, while Qiao Long sped up and approached the back of the rock pillar.
Amid the sound of shooting and screaming, he rushed into the side of the rock pillar, and then a bottle of milky white liquid hit him in the face.
The glass shattered, and a strange milky fragrance overflowed. The liquid interfered with Qiao Long's vision, so that he did not hit the opponent for a while, and missed again. And the milk-like liquid on his face also gave him a strange feeling, as if countless mosquitoes were buzzing in front of his eyes.
This is not a simple potion, but a concentrated magic potion with extraordinary effects that can make people insane.
The potion, which could be diluted to fill dozens of bottles, was now all over Qiao Long, making him feel dazed and staggering like a drunk. Various voices rang in his head, and his vision became chaotic and colorful.
He seemed to see many familiar people, including his master, his elementary school companions and teachers, people he knew in the past, and some people he hated deeply. These people had bullied him and made him live a life worse than death...
With a plop, Qiao Long finally knelt on the ground, and bursts of heat began to emerge from his body, while his bones and muscles slowly expanded, and dragon scales appeared faintly.
"Okay, very good, that's it, you can also be used by me." The black shadow laughed evilly, and then blew the flute that disturbed the mind again, making the scene even more chaotic.
