Bang!
A vase hit the ground and broke into several pieces.
Brother Chen had a gloomy face and turned his back to the gang members.
"Brother, what should we do? They have turned against us. I heard that they are sending troops to clean up the city! The Japanese have also turned silent, saying that they can't help us in the city." The military advisor looked worried.
The fall of the Crocodile Gang made all the other forces realize that the Axe Gang was no longer powerful enough to be eliminated, and they tacitly decided to get rid of the Axe Gang first.
"We need a stable base. We can't be stuck in the middle like a sandwich!" Brother Chen said.
The Axe Gang is in a very bad position now. Although their territory is large, they are surrounded by enemies. If these enemies attack each other, the Axe Gang can still act arrogantly. But if they all unite, even the Axe Gang will not be able to hold on for long.
Compared with these forces, they are just small fry. These forces are richer than the Axe Gang and more hateful than them. If they are really determined to clean them up, no one can stop them.
"Brother! I know a good place!" said the military advisor with his eyes lighting up. He had originally wanted to find an opportunity to turn that place into a brothel or something like that, but now he thought it would be nice to use it as a base.
The population is densely populated and full of poor people. There is no established force. No matter which side it is, they will definitely not go to war with them for that poor place. Those guys are whores who want to pretend to be virtuous.
"where?"
"Pig Cage Village!"
Brother Chen thought about it and he knew that place, it was a famous slum here.
"Let all the brothers start soliciting customers and close all the casinos that are not ours. Also, you! I don't care what you do, just drag it out for a month!" Brother Chen pointed at the military advisor and said.
"Yes!" The military advisor agreed. As long as they gave enough money, they could still get it within a month.
"Butcher! Take your men to take down Pig Cage City for me! Go tomorrow! Don't waste a moment!" Brother Chen turned around and gave another order.
"Yes! Big brother!" The fat butcher grinned, full of cruelty.
"Don't make too much noise, bring fewer guns and more people, understand?" Brother Chen went on to say that he was planning to make a big profit, then give up most of the territory in the city and move out.
"Yes! I understand!" The fat butcher nodded. He liked to chop people with an axe the most.
Late at night, Busujima Saeko and Ethan were sitting together, discussing the news they had just received from Kuli Qiang.
"I didn't expect the Axe Gang to come back to life. Looks like your main quest has quite a few twists and turns." Busujima Saeko shook her head and said.
"Or I can find a chance to bombard them with cannons. With the power of the Ark's reactor, the world will be peaceful after a few shots!" Ivan Vanko suggested.
"No! That might hurt innocent people. We have to have a bottom line!" Ethan firmly opposed such reckless behavior.
"No, it's not possible. If you fail to complete the mission with that one shot, your mission will probably change from facing the Axe Gang to facing the whole world. I think many forces in this world will be interested in what you have in your hands." Busujima Saeko also raised an objection.
Ivan Vanko scratched his head and stopped talking. He was not very good at planning things like this.
"I think why don't you use your identities? See if you can use other forces to fight against the Axe Gang!" Busujima Saeko said after thinking it over.
The Axe Gang was a behemoth in their eyes, but to the Soviets and Americans, it was just a bigger trouble.
"This is the only way. Let's take a rest first. I'll look for someone suitable to use as leverage tomorrow." Ethan rubbed his temple. He was thinking about how to make the most of his ordinary identity.
After returning to the room, Ivan Vanko gave himself an injection and suddenly looked up, "Ethan, how did you find out about that matter?"
"I've found out almost everything, and I've also prepared some medicine, but now is not the time to think about that." Ethan looked at Ivan Vanko speechlessly.
"That's true, but do you think the martial arts power in this world will be useful?" Ivan Vanko provided another idea.
Ethan blinked, feeling like he had figured it out.
The next morning, Pig Cage Village became lively earlier than usual. Civilians who lost their jobs had to think about whether to try their best to make a living in the Axe Gang's territory, or to find a job nearby that paid less but was more demanding.
"Landlady! Landlady! Why is there no water all of a sudden?" Jiang Bao, with bubbles all over his head, asked loudly towards the fifth floor.
The landlady closed the window and rushed down at lightning speed. At this point, she estimated that Busujima Saeko had not gotten up yet and would not be entangled.
Pedal...
The landlady walked down the stairs.
"You don't have to pay for the water bill! You bastards! You didn't even pay the rent this month, and yet you're still talking so much nonsense!" The landlady pointed at Jiangbao and cursed.
Jiangbao's pants were hanging down, his head was also hanging down, and his tone was a little aggrieved, "But I was halfway through washing my hair when you closed the floodgate..."
"I'm not just turning it off now! Starting from tomorrow, the water supply will be cut off on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and there will be intermittent water supply on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. What do you think?!" The landlady said to everyone very arrogantly.
This was the idea she came up with last night. Not only would it allow Pig Cage Village to hold out a little longer, it would also get Busujima Saeko out of here. She didn't believe that such a pretty girl could endure the humiliation of having no water.
After being woken up, Busujima Saeko listened to the landlady's words and silently threw out a large plastic bucket full of water from her personal space. She placed three of these things in the space for fear of going to a world without water.
Want to force her out this way? The landlady's imagination is still a little lacking.
Jiang Bao felt so aggrieved that he didn't dare to say anything. Although his income had been much better recently than before, he still owed more rent to the landlady and he was too embarrassed to say anything.
He could only hastily clean his head with water from the ditch. His shop did have water in it, after all, there were often water outages in this place. However, that was for the customers. If he used it up, he would have no business today.
After cleaning up, Jiangbao came to his own shop. On the table was a bowl of fried rice with almost no oil. Holding the bowl, Jiangbao began to eat.
If there was no income today, this would probably be his meal for the whole day.
If only the bearded man's hair grew ten centimeters a day...
While eating, Jiangbao was dreaming that Busujima Saeko was the most forthcoming customer he had ever seen, and he wished he could serve them more. Unfortunately, dreams are just dreams after all.
Ivan Vanko's talent is not in hair growth, so he cannot satisfy Jiangbao's wish.
