Chapter 5 The Way of Survival

Simon put his suitcase on his back, and wore a gray-black shabby windbreaker on the outside, slightly blocking the suitcase. He also took out a fifteen-six centimeter long dagger from home, tied the dagger to his waist, and then went out with satisfaction.

.

Arriving at Papa Manning's restaurant, Papa Manning was standing behind the counter talking to a muscular middle-aged black man.

Simon walked over, and the middle-aged black man greeted with a smile: "Dr. Simon, long time no see."

"Hello, Mr. York." Simon responded politely.

His name is York. He comes from downtown. He used to be a gangster. Later, he was rescued by Father Manning, and then he worked under Father Manning. He helped Simon deal with the gangsters who caused trouble for him, and he was very skillful.

That's great.

"Is it Mr. York who will guide me? Then I'll be relieved."

Father Manning looked at Simon: "Have you brought everything?"

Simon patted the suitcase under his windbreaker: "It's complete, no problem."

"York will show you the way, and he will bring you back safely after processing." Father Manning nodded.

York finished the beer in the glass, stood up and said, "Let's go now while it's still dark."

Simon nodded, said hello to Father Manning, and followed York out of the restaurant.

York was a taciturn man, and Simon didn't know what to say. The two of them were speechless all the way, and soon came to an extremely dilapidated housing area. Weeds grew on both sides of the road, and the courtyard was also overgrown, as if no one had been there for a long time.

live.

There is a cross-shaped road sign posted on the roadside, with a skull and sheep head stuck on the top of the road sign.

The road sign points to the road ahead, with 'To Hell' written on it written in unknown blood.

There are many road signs written in various languages ​​​​next to the road signs, some are warnings, and some are even gang recruitment billboards.

This is the end of Shunnington Street, and further on is the Lower Town.

Occasionally, people poke their heads out of the dilapidated houses on both sides, watching furtively.

This housing area is adjacent to the Xiacheng District, and gangsters from the Xiacheng District often come to cause trouble. The civilians in this area moved away because they couldn't bear the disturbance, and no one dared to settle here. Over time, they became homeless.

, a refuge for addicts.

"Follow me, don't look around, just walk normally. I won't go to the lower town once or twice, so just follow me." York looked a little serious and turned around to warn Simon.

Simon nodded seriously and took a deep breath.

I am an extraordinary person, I have shadow ghosts, and I am so scared.

I kept cheering myself up in my heart.

The two of them walked forward for a hundred meters in the direction of the sign, and the houses on both sides came to life. Simon saw several children playing in a courtyard.

When the children saw Simon and the two, they scattered like mice when they saw a cat, ran into the house, and closed the doors and windows tightly.

On the road, I also met a few idle young people, squatting in the corner, smoking cigarettes in their mouths, holding beer in their hands, and looking at Simon and Simon with malicious eyes.

Simon obviously felt that more eyes were on him.

Maybe it's because he seems easier to bully.

However, they seemed to be intimidated by the strong York and just watched Simon leave.

On the road, I also met a few young people playing with a dying homeless man.

"Don't meddle in other people's business. There are so many things like this that you can't handle them. That homeless man looks like he's on drugs, so he's not worth taking care of." York pulled Simon forward expressionlessly.

York took Simon into the housing area of ​​​​the lower city and walked back and forth in the alleys. The alleys here were even dirtier, with sewage everywhere, and he accidentally stepped on a piece of shit.

In the alley, I saw a man and a woman kissing passionately, a woman who had lost her footing was attracting bees and butterflies, there were quarrels and scoldings, and there were children playing lively...all kinds of strange things!

At the corner of an alley, York suddenly accelerated and passed through a house.

"Someone is following us, it should be someone from the Snake Tooth Gang." York explained to Simon calmly.

"People from the Snake Tooth Gang are not fools. Knowing that the boss of Gang 13 was shot, he must find a doctor. This area should be blocked by the Snake Tooth Gang, and there are special people watching the streets of Shunnington."

"Since you knew someone was watching you, why did you come here so blatantly during the day?" Simon asked.

"It's more dangerous at night. The night in downtown is hell. Vagabonds, drug addicts, and gangsters wander around at night like evil ghosts. The probability of homicide at night is dozens of times higher than during the day," York said seriously.

"Besides, during this period, there are unclean things in the Lower City, which are very dangerous." Then York said this.

Dirty stuff?

Simon was stunned. The unclean thing York mentioned was definitely not a human being. Could it be a pollution monster?

There have been incidents of contaminated monsters before. There are all kinds of people in this city. There are many people like Simon who pursue the mysterious side. Without the help of professionals, it is easy to be contaminated by magic energy. Simon himself is an example.

.

Some people will mutate into monsters when they are severely contaminated by magic energy. Many similar incidents have occurred in the lower city and outer city.

What impressed Simon most was that when he was a student at the University of Victoria, a pollution monster incident occurred in the inner city. Dozens of people died at that time, causing an uproar.

Simon asked York, and York said he didn't know much. He only knew that a few homeless people died miserably in the end area, and their bodies seemed to have been bitten by some kind of animal.

He got the news that the bite marks on the corpse were from humans.

Is it a Death Eater with special quirks or a pollution monster? There is no conclusion yet.

However, it can be seen from York's expression that he is more inclined to pollute monsters.

York didn't say any more and continued walking forward with Simon. The two of them walked through the streets and came to an even older neighborhood.

It's dusk now, but the streets here are even darker.

York came to the door of a house and started knocking on the door. The knocks were very regular and should be some kind of code.

The door opened and cracked a crack. A pair of alert eyes appeared first. The person inside the door said: "Who are you looking for?"

"The Viking flag guided me here." York said softly.

This is old Manning's code word, and this sentence represents old Manning.

"come in."

The door opened and York went in first, followed by Simon.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man of medium height. His face was dirty and there were traces of black soot. If he hadn't been holding a machete more than 30 centimeters long, Simon would have really believed that he was just an ordinary coal worker.

.

The middle-aged man took a look at Simon. Under York's instruction, Simon lifted up his windbreaker to reveal the suitcase inside, and then opened the suitcase to reveal the medical equipment inside. The middle-aged man then walked in front and led the way.

The three of them walked through the dark room and entered another alley through the back door. They were asked to wait here for a while, and the middle-aged man walked into the darkness alone.

"This is too vigilant, it's like a spy war." Simon said speechlessly.

"To live in the Xiachang District, you have to be more thoughtful than others. If you can't outplay others, you will be outplayed by others, especially those like them who are gangsters. Those who are not careful will die early." York said calmly.

Simon shrugged. He had just come to this world and hadn't really been involved yet. He didn't know how to survive in this world.

About two minutes later, the middle-aged man came back and greeted the two of them to go forward. He took the lead and entered a house. As soon as the two entered, the door was closed immediately.

A black gun muzzle was pointed at the two of them.

Three people quickly walked out from behind the door and surrounded him. Another person held a gun, and the other two held knives against Simon.

At this moment, Simon regretted a little.

This is too dangerous!
