Chapter 33 Night in Rocks Slums
Today’s night in Rocks City is full of killings at this moment!
Ji Xiaoyan suppressed her pounding heart with her hands, carefully put her head to the small crack of the window and looked out. The alley was as dark and gloomy as before, and the lights coming from the commercial street could only make out some rough shadows. Ji Xiaoyan opened his eyes wide and tried hard to distinguish what was going on outside, but his eyes hurt, but he still couldn't see anything.
A very slight "boom" lifted Ji Xiaoyan's heart again. Since the eyes cannot see, then use the ears to hear. So, Ji Xiaoyan put his ear to the gap in the window and finally heard what seemed like someone talking.
"Speak softly...and hurry up..." The voice was a bit intermittent, and it sounded like it was in the alley on the other side of the house opposite her.
"Kill him... don't leave blood everywhere..."
"Tug away... to the street..."
"There is... next to it..." Speed, cut it and leave.”
“No way over there, let’s change the alley!”
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyan became even more panicked. If he changed the alley, he might not be sure. Are you coming to her soon? No, no, what should I do? If I run out now, no matter which alley I run towards, I will definitely encounter those people in the west of the city. Ji Xiaoyan kept circling around the room. She really didn't know what to do now. Basically, there is one person per house in the slums, so the group in the west of the city basically got over without anyone calling for help.
Ji Xiaoyan turned around for a long time and listened to the sound that was quiet for a while. She felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. The only thing she could think of now was that there was a movie in her previous life called "Death is Coming". How sad! Why do you think this is? It was finally over, and as long as she persisted for a dozen more hours, she would be able to get her own house and have a stable home. Why is this? Does God just like to play tricks on her like this?
While he was in a hurry, a sharp scream rang out in the quiet night, and was immediately interrupted abruptly. Ji Xiaoyan knew that he was being killed. She was so frightened that she immediately covered her mouth, fearing that she would scream. Then, the sound outside started to get louder, as if there was movement in the alley far away, and then the sound became louder and louder. Ji Xiaoyan felt relieved when he thought that the guards in the south of the city would be able to come to the rescue immediately after receiving the news. However, then she heard the sneak attackers in the west of the city who no longer spoke cautiously shouting arrogantly: "Brothers, chop them down one by one. Before the bunch of bastards in the south of the city catch up, kill them all." Wash it again! "
Now, she will definitely have to "GAMEOVER" before the escort team comes. Ji Xiaoyan looked at his small hut, trying to figure out how to escape. Someone in the alley was already alerted that something was going on, and then there was a mess of cries for help, as well as the sounds of people trying to escape and struggling after being caught. Ji Xiaoyan even felt like he could hear the sound of a knife cutting into flesh.
“Damn it, you still want to resist?” Ji Xiaoyan heard a curse.
“Brothers, hurry into the house and chop them to death. Once you’re done, one house will be replaced by another. Cut a few more before those bastards from the South District come! Humph! Pay more attention to catching those who run away!”
It's over, it's over, Ji Xiaoyan feels that he really can't run away this time. What to do? She could already hear the sounds of fighting getting closer and closer! After searching around the house, I found a small wooden stick and a knife that seemed to be a pencil sharpener hidden in the corner. It's not shocking at all! Holding it in his hand, Ji Xiaoyan felt that he couldn't even scare the thugs!
"Hey, there's a guy running out here, brothers, chop him down!"
When Ji Xiaoyan heard these words, his body shook violently, and then he heard that A nightmarish sound! There were screams of pain, begging for mercy, the sound of the knife entering the flesh, and bursts of triumphant laughter!
Looking at the small blade and small wooden stick in his hand, Ji Xiaoyan suddenly felt that if he really wanted to wait for death, he might as well take a gamble. So, she started to turn over everything in the house. Nothing valuable anyway. Ji Xiaoyan tore some clothes, some miscellaneous and tattered, as well as the wooden bed. He tore everything that could be torn, and made a mess as fast as he could, making it look like it had been scraped. Then, he mustered up the courage to cut his arms and thighs several times with a small blade. If you want to survive, you have to be tough on yourself!
Enduring the pain, I watched the blood gurgling out and dripping to the ground. Ji Xiaoyan quickly picked up a piece of cloth, which he didn't know if it was clothes or something, and put it on the wound. It was stained with blood and drew a blood stain on the ground that seemed to be dragged out of the door. Then he sprinkled and smeared the blood everywhere in the house. I stopped when I felt a little dizzy. Then, he casually bandaged the wound with some cloth. He gently opened the door a crack and checked to see if anyone could be seen outside. After carefully looking around and around to make sure that he couldn't see anything in the night, Ji Xiaoyan deliberately opened the door and then checked again. The whole room looked like it had been after a fight or robbery. Ji Xiaoyan ran to the wooden bed and pressed against the thick wooden wall of the room. He stood up the wooden board that was used as a bed and leaned against the wall. He propped up the gap just enough for her to hide and got into it. Ping took a breath, holding a small wooden stick and a small blade in his hand, waiting quietly to see if her trick of concealing the truth could save his life.
Gradually, Ji Xiaoyan heard the sounds of banging and killing outside more and more clearly. That meant it was almost time to get to her. Holding her breath, she couldn't feel the pain of the wound at all now, only the beating and tightening of her heart.
There was a loud "boom" that startled Ji Xiaoyan. She felt like it was just a few houses next to her. Tightening the wooden stick in his hand harder, Ji Xiaoyan felt her nervous tears falling down, flowing down her cheeks and onto her chin.
“Damn, it’s so damn clean, boss, no one lives in this house!”
“Continue!” Then, Ji Xiaoyan clearly heard footsteps approaching, “This The door is still open!" said a voice.
"Go and see if the person has escaped?"
Then, a weak red light appeared in the room. Ji Xiaoyan knew that it was an insect caught outside the wilderness that glowed at night like a firefly. This kind of insect is called a weak fire bug. Their luminous body is on their head. When they come out to look for food at night, their entire head will emit a faint red light to illuminate and attract food. Although this insect can be used as a light for people in slums, it is difficult to catch, so few people catch it and use it! It is definitely impossible to equip lighting equipment in the west part of the city, so we can only use weak fireflies for lighting.
Hiding behind the wooden board, Ji Xiaoyan felt that time could really slow down so slowly! Just the movement of the red light in the room made her feel as if several hours had passed.
"Boss, this house has been 'washed'."
"Well, move on to the next house, faster. If you hear the noise, the group of bastards in the south of the city are coming soon!"
"Yes!"
He breathed out softly. While wiping his tears, Ji Xiaoyan was secretly glad that he had escaped for the time being. As long as he waited for the escort team to arrive, he would be truly safe. She covered her mouth and tried not to cry. She felt that tonight was too thrilling.
Listening to the movement, the group of people outside had already left several houses. She could tell from the conversations of the group of people that the houses next to her seemed to be empty. At this moment, she was sweating coldly and secretly thankful that she was lucky. Think about it, if there are people hiding around her, but her room is empty, and it looks like it has been "cleaned up", everyone will find it strange! Putting his hands together, Ji Xiaoyan still felt that he had to thank God for his blessing.
Probably more than half an hour later, Ji Xiaoyan finally heard that the "armed" escort troops from the southern district of their city had appeared. Some people in the alley who were lucky enough not to be visited, and some who were seriously injured, started howling and cursing at the top of their lungs. Ji Xiaoyan climbed out from behind the wooden board, squatted on the ground and cried hard! After such a thrilling incident, she didn't even have anyone to talk to, let alone receive comfort or care. The only thing she could feel at the moment was the sour loneliness in her heart.
When she cried herself to sleep and woke up again. It is already the morning of the second day in Locks City. Ji Xiaoyan wiped her face and didn't bother to clean up the house. She endured the pain of the wound, found some water, and washed herself. I just took the few things I packed yesterday and went out with my injuries.
In the slums, even if you are sick or injured, if you can't find a way to take the money to the hospital, no one will care about you! Just like what happened last night, even if you are innocently involved and injured in a gang feud, no one will take you for treatment or anything. Those who have money can go to the hospital by themselves. If you don’t have money, just make it on your own! If you are lucky and have a tough life, you can survive; if not, you can just wait to die.
Ji Xiaoyan carried the Commonwealth Bank card on her body, endured the pain, and walked to a hospital on the commercial street. She found a guidance nurse and took her to a doctor's clinic. For 3,000 federal dollars, the nurse washed her wound, applied medicine, bandaged it, and gave her a bunch of medicine and a large piece of paper filled with precautions written by the doctor. Then, after sleeping on the hospital bed, Ji Xiaoyan finally felt that she was safe.
The medicines of this era are much more magical than those of previous generations. For example, the trauma medicine she applied to her wound now only took a few hours for the surface of her wound to begin to heal and form scars. Of course, this medicine is only for minor injuries like hers. She cut it herself, no matter how deep it was, it couldn't have been cut deeper by someone else! Of course, don't think that the wound is healed after applying this medicine. It is only superficial and is to prevent wound infection and bleeding. Using cell division and regeneration, an isolation scar is formed on the surface of the wound. The wound inside needs to be slowly applied, taken, and maintained to heal.
I lay on the hospital bed until noon and tried to feel that the pain in the wound was getting better. Ji Xiaoyan carried her belongings, left the hospital, found a place to eat, and then headed to the housing sales and leasing center.
I have to say that her work efficiency is still very high. It was just past noon. Ji Xiaoyan entered the center and found the waiter No. 318 who received her yesterday. She only said a few words. He handed her the keys to the house, the purchase and sale certificate, the housing certificate and her residence registration certificate.
With tears in her eyes, thinking about the thrill of last night and the stable life she would soon have, Ji Xiaoyan walked to No. 18 Street in the civilian area with excitement and anticipation. Following the introduction of the holographic image she saw yesterday, she stood on the street and saw 4 The windows with white curtains on the upper floor will be her home from now on!
