Chapter 1,487: Flap Wings. Niya. Cheap! (Part 2)

9 am
Niya yawned as she finished her last round of patrolling the construction site. A large area of the bustling area in District 111 was bought by a businessman from the upper echelons, who wanted to demolish and rebuild it. However, there were too many petty thefts in District 111, and the company's bodyguard was almost beaten to death before.
So the construction company applied to the Lightning Skeleton, hoping that they could send some powerful mutants to help guard the construction site. Finally, Niya, Eric, Chen An and Xixi came, and the company was a little dissatisfied.
But soon, the doubts about the four people's work ability were dispelled. Niya and the other four patrolled 24 hours a day. Except for the construction during the day, they didn't need to watch much. At night, the four people were basically responsible for all the safety of the nearly 2 square kilometers of the construction site.
When the project just started, this upper-level construction company was constantly harassed by gangs of all sizes, and even construction workers were often beaten.
Niya and her friends have been here for almost 3 months, and these things have completely disappeared. A while ago, Niya and her friends beat up a large local gang and sent more than 100 people to the hospital.
No one dares to cause trouble to this construction site now. Niya yawned. Although she was a little sleepy, she was hungry now, so she planned to go out to get some food first, drink a cup and then go back to sleep.
Niya just walked into the shed, and Xixi just got up at this time.
"You lazy bug, you should have gotten up at 7 o'clock."
Xixi was wiping her cheek, and Niya sat on the bed casually.
"You wipe this and that all day long, are you in a hurry to get married?"
Niya smiled and took out a cigarette, lit it and leaned comfortably on the bed.
"What do you care? And, look at your skin, it's so rough and dry. You have such a beautiful face. If you don't protect it now, it will be too late in the future."
Xixi said as she walked to Niya's side, took the cigarette butt from Niya's mouth, and pulled Niya over directly.
"What are you doing?"
Xixi took a towel and wiped Niya's cheek directly, then brought a bottle of moisturizing liquid.
"I don't do these things, get out of the way, I'm going out for a drink."
"I'll go with you after I'm done. Eric and Chen An will be in charge today. Let's have a leisurely day."
With Xixi's half-push, Niya had a full facial care, and her originally dry skin looked much more moisturized. Then the two left the shed and planned to eat barbecue.
Although it was a bit inappropriate to eat barbecue at this point, as long as there was wine and meat, the two could eat all afternoon.
After leaving the construction site, the two went to a barbecue restaurant they often went to. It was a place where the four of them often went. The streets on the ground floor were still as chaotic as ever. Pedestrians on the road did not follow any traffic rules at all and often crossed the road. Because most cars were equipped with AI and had emergency braking systems, many people were not afraid of being hit by cars.
Early in the morning, I heard some drivers angrily lowering their windows and sticking their heads out, cursing at those who crossed in front of their cars, both adults and children.
The shoe-shining boys carrying small wooden boxes on their backs on the streets are a landscape of the lower class. This primitive shoe-shining industry can only be seen in the past, and it is almost no longer seen in the middle and upper classes, because the people in the middle and upper classes almost all wear clothes, shoes and pants made of light and shadow materials. They only need to find a place to store them in the light and shadow bracelet, and all the dirt they are stained with will fall off naturally.
Most of the clothes now do not need to be washed. Only in the lower class can you see clothes drying on the balcony or rooftop of every household. The lower class is still the same as in the past. The only change is that the public security has become much worse.
Niya has been basically at the lower class for many years. The only advantage here is that you don’t have to care about other people’s eyes at all. It is freer and warmer here.
The relationship between neighbors is usually better at the lower class. Along the way, you can see that people in many shops will get together to chat from time to time when there is no business.
"Damn it! You little brat, are you looking for death?"
At this time, accompanied by a burst of angry curses and the sound of objects breaking, a man with a tattoo on the back of his hand roughly kicked a shoe-shining boy away and crushed his shoe-shining box. For a moment, the boy who was only in his teens was frightened and at a loss. The man stretched out his leather shoes.
"My shoes are light brown, and you use coffee-colored shoe polish for me. Are you tired of living?"
The man wiped them with paper in anger, but the shoes were already stained. Some people around wanted to persuade him, but when they noticed the jagged tattoos on the man's hands, they did not dare to persuade him. They all knew that the man was Gao Jin's subordinate and did not dare to persuade him at all, fearing that they would cause trouble.
"Forget it, he is still a child."
An elderly man could not bear it, and just as he walked over, he was roughly pulled by the collar by the man and pushed away.
"I spent 200 yuan to buy this pair of shoes, you are looking for death."
The man walked over angrily, and the teenage boy was already scared and did not dare to move at all.
Whoosh
The man who was about to take action screamed, and a cigarette butt hit his cheek directly, sparks flew everywhere, and the man covered his mouth.
"Damn, who is not afraid of death!"
Niya stared at the man in front of her fiercely.
"Get out of the way, you are blocking my way."
The man immediately raised his fists and planned to take action, but at this time, several men around him hurriedly grabbed the man. After one of them said something in the man's ear, the man broke away angrily and rushed directly towards Niya.
"Fuck, I don't give a shit about lightning skulls!"
boom
Niya punched the man in the nose unceremoniously. With a bang, the man hit a car on the street. No one present even saw how Niya punched the man. He pinched his nose and howled in pain.
Niya walked over step by step and kicked the man on the side of the head. The man looked at him in horror.
"Aren't you convinced?"
The man shook his head in horror, and Niya took out 200 yuan from her pocket and threw it to the man.
"Don't go looking for trouble with that kid, or I'll let you know how to use your fists."
Niya said, turning around and looking at the subordinates, and then glanced at the trampled shoeshine box on the ground.
"Pay it to him!"
Niya said and several people looked at each other, and Niya walked over step by step.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Niya roughly pulled a man over. Immediately, several other people hurriedly took out their money, handed it to the child on the ground, and then pulled the man who was holding his nose by the car.
"Broken, my nose is broken, you"
Under Niya's glare, the other party left in despair.
"It's too harsh."
Sissi smiled awkwardly, and Niya glanced at the boy on the ground, then walked over and pulled him up.
"what's your name?"
"Wunan!"
The boy came back to his senses at this time. Niya patted the dust on his body, then patted his head and said.
"If you don't want to be bullied, just exercise."
The boy stared at Niya who was leaving. At this time, several friends came over to help the boy clean up the shoe shine box that was trampled to pieces.
"Wu Nan, why don't you ask that sister to help you."
The boy named Wu Nan lowered his head, but in the end he nodded and followed quickly.
"Getting into trouble."
Sissi said as she glanced at the boy following her, and Niya smiled.
"It's none of my business, hurry up, I'm already so hungry that I can't stand it anymore."
The two ran directly into the barbecue restaurant, and the boss immediately greeted them politely.
Sissi glanced at the boy leaning outside the store, and occasionally looked in. There were too many such children on the ground floor, and he wanted Niya to help.
Niya didn't plan to take care of it. He knew very well that if she helped the child now, it would indeed make him feel better, but it might be hell for the child next. She didn't plan to take care of it just now, but she still took action in the end. .
"You really shouldn't care."
Niya scratched her head, not knowing what to do. The child named Wu Nan outside looked at her expectantly from time to time.
"Don't worry about him, let's drink and eat meat."
Niya knows very well that she is not strong enough to solve everything, and even if she reaches that point, she still cannot touch everything.
Many people at the bottom need help, and there are many such people. Niya cannot take care of them one by one. If she does, it will be endless. She can only lend a hand to help when she sees it, but this is very important for accepting help. For readers, sometimes it is not good.
Niya and the others will be able to go back in a few days. The construction site has basically completed the first phase of construction, and there is no need to spend too much energy on care. If the guy Niya beat up today comes back to cause trouble for the child, Niya There is no way to be there.
A similar thing happened before. Niya helped a person who was bullied by gang members. At that time, Olivia had already told Niya to leave it alone. Niya didn't listen, but by chance, Niya saw it. There was news that the man saved by Niya was beaten to death by gang members. The angry Niya rushed over immediately.
However, no matter how Niya beat the group, the fact was that the man was dead. After this incident, Niya realized how powerless and insignificant she was.
Half-hearted kindness will kill others. Niya beat the gang almost to death. This incident caused a big fuss at the time, but it was calmed down. This is what Gene said at the time. Niya has been since that incident. After the incident passed, I thought about many things. I couldn't be like a child who would never grow up. I had to recognize the reality clearly.
Sissi could see that Niya was caught up in the memories of last year's incident again. She knew that the incident had a great impact on Niya. Although it was not Niya's fault, the man was indeed saved by Niya. After that, he was later killed by gang members in retaliation.
If everyone hadn't pulled Niya that night, he would have killed someone. Niya's incident also served as a warning to the entire guild. Helping others at will may bring about bad consequences. If you cannot effectively manage some events at the moment, the results may be very bad.
By 11 o'clock, the two of them were already a little drunk. They planned to go back to the dormitory directly and sleep until night.
The boy named Wu Nan was still at the door of the store. Niya didn't want to pay attention to him. As soon as the two of them walked out of the store, Wu Nan came over.
"Thank you, sister."
Wu Nan said awkwardly, and Niya smiled.
"Go home quickly."
Niya was just about to leave when Wu Nan suddenly ran over and still stood in front of Niya.
"Sister, can you help me?"
Niya took out a cigarette, looked at Wunan drunkenly, lit it and put it in her mouth.
"I'm busy, go away, kid."
Wunan didn't move away, but insisted on standing in front of Niya. Xixi smiled and took out some money from her pocket and handed it over.
"Little brother, take this money to buy some delicious food for the family."
Wunan didn't move away, nor did he take the money from Xixi's hand, but continued to stand in front of Niya.
"Sister, you are very powerful, can you help me?"
Wunan lowered his head with a sincere face, but Niya walked past him and pressed Wunan's head with one hand.
"Little kid, I helped you today? What about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?"
Wunan seemed to understand what Niya meant, but he still stood in front of Niya with reserve.
"Help my sister, we really can't hold on any longer, we really can't hold on any longer."
Niya smiled bitterly, then exhaled a puff of smoke. Xixi kept winking at Niya, hoping that Niya would leave quickly. It was easy to get rid of this child. If the two of them speeded up, this child would definitely not be able to catch up.
Niya bit the cigarette quietly, constantly swallowing and exhaling. The child in front of her still lowered his head and was still begging for help. Niya didn't know what to do for a while. Xixi grabbed Niya's arm and wanted to pull Niya away, but Niya didn't move at all. Xixi sighed helplessly.
"Sister, I really can't do it. If I were older, I would have some strength to do some work, and it would be fine, but now I'm too young and don't have much strength."
Niya closed her eyes silently, then smiled and said.
"Let's go, kid, what can I do for you?"
Wu Nan hurriedly thanked him, and then Niya and Xixi followed Wu Nan. The three of them walked towards the edge of the strip. A wave of unpleasant smells came to their noses, and Niya realized that Wu Nan lived in the stinky area.
Along the way, Niya saw many children and old people. Their cold eyes and some hostility in their eyes made Niya a little uncomfortable.
Niya didn't know what this kid named Wu Nan wanted her to help him with. It didn't seem to be a simple matter of money.
The narrow, dirty and dilapidated streets, the stench in the air, Niya had been to the stinky area more than once. For some reason, the number of people in the stinky area seemed to have increased a lot, and some people seemed to have diseases, and coughing could be heard from time to time.
Niya only remembered that there were only some homeless people living in the stinky area in the past, but for some reason, the number of people in the stinky area has increased a lot now.
After entering a narrow alley with some domestic garbage piled up everywhere, Niya saw a shabby old house with a small yard not far away with its door open.
At this time, the voices of children rang out. Some children seemed to be shouting something. More and more people came over. Niya and Xixi looked at them in confusion. Wunan took Niya into the yard.
"Dad, Dad is saved."
Wunan shouted as soon as he entered the yard. Many people followed him. Niya looked at these people with hope in their eyes. Some middle-aged and elderly people came in, including some children.
At this time, Niya saw a room inside. On a shabby bed, a pale man was lying. He looked like he had some disease. There was a woman with dry and yellow skin next to him. She helped the man to get up from the bed. When she lifted the quilt, Niya looked at the man's legs in shock. They were bent to different degrees, but they were already fixed. It was obvious that they were broken by someone. He was completely disabled because he did not get treatment.
The woman who was supporting the man next to him looked pretty, but she looked very haggard.
More and more people entered the yard. At this time, accompanied by waves of discussions, many people recognized Niya. They were the members of the Lightning Skeleton Mutant Guild who had beaten Bonan and his gang before.
"Sister, please help us and help us get our land deeds back."
Niya was puzzled, and an old man stood up at this time.
"You two, sit down first, we will talk slowly."
After Niya and Xixi sat down, they looked at the people in the yard in confusion. Some people even climbed on the wall, some climbed on the roof, and hundreds of people surrounded them.
The old man narrated slowly. The people who lived here temporarily were all residents who lived in the construction site where Niya and her team were stationed. More than a year ago, some local science and technology officials and councilors came to lobby the residents to hand over their houses temporarily. The area needed to be planned and constructed in a coordinated manner, and promised to compensate some residents with money, so they needed to move out temporarily.
At that time, Wunan's father firmly disagreed. In the end, even with the agreement of most people, Wunan's father still disagreed because he felt that everyone would definitely be cheated. Wunan's father was an ordinary worker. He tried his best to dissuade some people who had already received the money and some beautiful promises. However, no one listened to Wunan's father.
As a result, most of the people moved away, but Wunan's family still did not move out. Then one night, a group of people broke into Wunan's home and directly broke Wunan's father's legs. At that time, Wunan's father would rather die. Refusing to hand over the contract, the three of them were eventually taken to a place. After much torture, Wu Nan's father finally handed over the land deed and signed the contract, and they were released.
After that, they reported the case, but the case is still under investigation. It has been delayed for eight or nine months, and there has been no result. But everyone knows that it was done by Bonan's group, but the business department doesn't care at all, and Bonan's group has now taken everyone's land deeds and is cooperating with upper-level businessmen. A guy named Wise Man has given them some advice. The best way now is to hire mutants to get the land deeds back.
Because the contract they signed with those lobbying gang members did not exist at all. That kind of contract was just for them to hand over the land deed honestly. With some operations, the contract they signed would become a land sale contract, and It is not a cooperation contract.
The residents who realized all this were crying without tears. They once went to ask for an explanation, but the result they got was the same as the wise man said. Their houses had been sold to businessmen and it was impossible to get them back.
The reason why the construction site is being harassed is because another gang wants a share of the pie. Both gangs are targeting this place. Not everyone's land deeds are in the hands of Bonan's gang, and some The land deed is in the hands of Gao Jin and his gang.
Once it is newly built, that area will be the most economically prosperous area in District 111, and it will be a place where endless money can be made, which is why the two gangs have been having so much friction recently.
Looking at the pleading eyes, Niya smoked silently, and the old man who spoke had already started crying. They had gone to the administrative department and the councilors many times, but the other party promised every time that they would investigate and deal with it. , but the result is far away. Now the first phase of the construction period has ended. Once it is officially put into operation, the land title will be changed to the businessmen's, and then the area will really not be back.
Niya didn't know what to say. Sissi laughed awkwardly and pulled Niya hard, hoping that Niya would refuse because this was not a small problem. Besides, it was the residents who took the initiative to sign the contract in the first place. The title deed is issued.
"None of us have much money. We know that hiring you mutants to do such dangerous things requires a lot of money."
At this time, Wu Nan hurriedly took a box from his father's side, and then brought it to Niya and Sissi. After opening the box, there was a lot of money in it, just a few cents. There were a lot of them, and there were many things to see. They were all wrinkled, with only a few denominations of a few yuan, tens of yuan, or a hundred yuan.
"There are more than 4,000 yuan here, you two. I hope you can help. Just help us steal the land deed. We really have no choice."
Wu Nan's father started coughing and wheezing as he spoke, while his wife wiped her tears aside.
Niya looked at these banknotes and was a little dazed for a moment. Many people were waiting for Niya's answer. Niya also knew that the land deeds were in paper form in the past. They should have logged into the parliamentary system, but as long as they took the paper The land deed, coupled with the fact that the fake contract that most people were deceived into signing does not exist, as long as they get the land deed back, the people here can negotiate terms with the businessmen.
Niya now finally understands why some workers in this construction site have never been attacked, while some workers have been attacked. It turns out that the place has been completely taken over by those two groups, and the land deed is now in their hands. Here, they are naturally qualified to negotiate some conditions with businessmen.
At this time, Wu Nan came over and threw the 50 yuan in his pocket that the gang members compensated him with Niya's help today into the money box.
"Sister, the reason why I came to you is because you helped me. You are a very nice person. We have found many mutants, but they all thought the price was too low and refused to help us at all. You are so powerful, you can definitely steal Arrived.”
Seeing Niya unmoved, some people started to come over one after another, took out some money and threw it in. Gradually, more and more people took money or some valuable things and threw them into the box. inside.
Niya smiled bitterly. If she really helped them, the two gangs would be furious, and they would not have a good life at all.
Niya stood up, Wu Nan immediately pulled Niya and said.
"Sister, although we have very little money, you can help us. When I grow up and make money, I will definitely return the rest to you."
"Me too."
"Me too, sister, please help us."
Niya watched the children come over one after another, and some old people were also saying nice things, but she still didn't move, just stared at everything around her quietly, and suddenly Niya made a gesture towards Sissi. With a glance, the two people suddenly hunched over, jumped directly to the roof with two whooshing sounds, and then quickly ran away into the distance, leaving only a bunch of people in a daze.
"I thought you were going to help them. Really, this matter is not a trivial matter. For their own good, it would be better if we don't do anything. At most, you can go to some higher-ups to help them respond to this matter. Someone from the business department will investigate.”
Niya laughed and shook her head.
"It's such a cheap job, just don't accept it."
Sissi could tell that Nia was feeling a little uncomfortable. After the two returned to the street, Sissi patted Nia on the shoulder.
"Hurry up and call the senior management of that department. Don't you know a lot of people?"
Niya lit a cigarette and smiled helplessly.
"There's no point even calling them."
Niya thought of Jean, but immediately dismissed such thoughts from her mind, because Niya knew very well that if the fundamental problem was not solved, after this time, such a thing would still happen in this place next time, even if Two gangs have been taken down, and there are other new gangs waiting to come up.
"Let's go back and have a good sleep."
At 9 o'clock in the morning on January 14, 2230, Niya just got up from the bed in a hotel, looking at the moving figure in front of her in a daze, and the aroma of food wafted towards her.
"Olivia, why did you come here?"
Niya looked with some surprise at Olivia who was sitting on the sofa not far away, looking at the light and shadow screen, and the breakfast on the table, which was a bowl of hot porridge and two eggs.
"Why can't I come over? If such a big thing happened, why don't you tell me, the vice-president? If you do this, if a big problem occurs, our entire guild will take the blame."
Nia made a sound and turned her head, and Olivia sighed.
"Do you still remember what everyone said that night when we established this guild?"
Nia hummed, and Olivia stood up and walked over.
"We will never shake our fists for cheap stuff!"
Nia tilted her head.
"I understand, how many people came here?"
Olivia giggled.
"Everyone is ready for battle!"
Nia's eyes widened in shock, looking at Olivia in disbelief.
"You idiots!"
