Chapter 224 Zaun and Noxus
Gotham is a city of miracles. There are so many criminals in it that even Superman feels his scalp numb, and he even let out a helpless sigh after the failure of the crime in that city.
"How did Batman do it?"
Li Ke also wants to ask now, how did Bruce Wayne manage to fight criminals non-stop all night, and then still be able to investigate his target. He went to investigate the warehouses of the Chamber of Commerce last night and planned to release the slaves
It was a complete failure. Because he spent most of his time just dealing with the murder cases he encountered on the road. Even when the first ray of sunlight hit Zuan, he had time to let go of one and try to snatch away another.
The widow's daughter's thug's collar caused this guy's body to fall from the roof of the building.
As for investigating the warehouse? Don't be stupid. Destroying warehouses and dens in the middle of the night is completely different from destroying warehouses and dens in broad daylight. Today, he has lost the best opportunity and can only wait until night.
"Thirty-two murders, thirteen thefts, and crimes that were stopped because they saw me, and this was just an incident I encountered after walking four blocks... Is this city really okay?"
Li Ke, who was holding a glass of milk in the room he booked, his face a little dull and stunned, silently looked at Sarah who was eating omelette with relish, and asked his question. And Sarah put another piece
After putting the fried egg in his mouth, he raised his head slightly, thought for a moment, and then said something with an indifferent look that made Li Ke even more speechless.
"Is that all? It seems that Zuan's security capabilities have improved recently."
After finishing speaking, she nodded and picked up the wine glass.
"Cheers to the rising security of Zaun."
The milk cup in Li Ke's hand was almost crushed by him. He rubbed his temples and shook his head as he watched Sarah drink down a large glass of whiskey early in the morning.
"With such a high crime rate and death rate, how on earth can this city continue to function?!"
Although people die in Noxus every night, Li Ke has never seen it with his own eyes, but he learned a solid lesson last night. This is one of the two most civilized and advanced cities in the world.
, crime and chaos are completely filled in it. Even when a family is sleeping at night, gangsters and robbers can break into the house, and then steal the finances, even the wife and daughter, and even the whole family is killed. Li Ke also saw it last night.
"There are more people, Ionians who are escaping from the war, and those Zaun people who want to become Piltover people. You taught me this. As long as people still have a little bit of hope, then they will ignore those people."
Trials and sufferings, keep working hard.”
Sarah, who was not at all worried about what happened to her pillowcase, and even wanted to laugh a little, swung the fork in her hand.
"They obviously fit what you said. The goal of becoming Piltover people allows them to endure everything. They think that if they work hard, they will be able to stay here, so they can endure it."
Li Ke nodded. These were things he taught Sarah in his spare time. It was impossible for him not to understand this. What he didn't understand was another thing.
"I know, but what I'm confused about is that if this city has always been like this, someone would have stood up long ago..."
However, when he was halfway through the puzzle, he remembered the Gray Lady who 'visited' them on the first night he arrived in this city. If the other party is indeed as mentioned in the background of the hero,
If he was an agent who safeguarded the rights and rule of the upper class in Piltover, then it would be natural for him to take action against those who stood up to resist and rectify the city of Zaun.
The only difference is that white gloves are used, or other methods are used.
"The Alchemy Baron will take action. They will carve up the city, just like the gangs in Bilgewater, planning the territory like rats, and when some people who want to unify appear, they will kill them together."
Sarah held the wine and once again told the information.
"In other words, the city is completely rotten."
Taking a deep breath, Li Ke knew that this was the worst case scenario. But when he looked at Sarah's leisurely look, he keenly sensed something was wrong.
"Besides, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Sarah pouted.
"Because this is common sense! You know so much, but in the end you don't even know this information. I really don't know. And last night I thought you were going to fight those alchemy gangs! You even did it.
There are vigilantes on the streets.”
She really didn't expect that Li Ke didn't know about the Alchemy Baron. Based on Li Ke's daily background, it was completely unbelievable that a Noxian like him didn't know about the Alchemy Baron. Who in the world didn't?
I know that what the Noxians like most is to cooperate with these alchemy barons who control the bottom. After all, their bids are low and they can sell them a lot of things that Piltover will not sell to them. And they are of high quality and low price. Zaun
The high explosives and alchemical poisons they produce have always been their top commodities exported to Noxus.
"I really don't know about this kind of thing."
Li Ke really didn't know. In fact, he knew very little about Pi City. Although Pi City had always been an ally and weapons supplier to the Noxians, he really didn't know the specific information about Pi City.
I know. But after thinking about it, he was relieved, because in his memory, the Noxians have always looked down on the Piltover people, but it was not because their military strength was less than one percent of Noxus, but because
Because of the city they are in now.
"Those arrogant Piltover guys always feel that they can control everything, that they are the center of the world, but they don't know that they are sitting on a barrel of explosives that can be ignited at any time, and the most terrible thing is that the fuse of this barrel of explosives is still there
On our hands.”
Memories of the past suddenly emerged, and the general's words awakened Li Ke. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood why he knew so little about Pi City. Because Noxus had always controlled Pi City.
The lifeblood of the city, because according to the creed of Noxus, as long as they can make their creed known to most of the Zaun people who are disappointed with Piltover, then all they have to do is to invade the border with a large army, and then find a party to lead the way, and then
Or just get a map of Piltover.
For the rest, those Zaunians who longed for equality in Noxus would do whatever they had to do on their behalf.
And under such circumstances, why bother to understand this merchant's city?
