Xiao Tianchou's disagreement with his three sons is a fact that almost everyone in D067 New City knows.
There is no other reason than that he is eyeing the position of city lord. If the father does not delegate power, the son will not be patient. Brothers fight with each other and get bloody.
Anyone who knows a little bit about post-disaster history knows that after the poisonous rain of eternal night fell and destroyed civilization, mankind struggled to survive in danger. When humans took a breather in the wilderness, they slowly expanded their camps into a new home—a new city.
New cities surrounded the old city and absorbed resources from the old city. The highest management position in the new city evolved from the mayor to the city lord. In the beginning, the city lord was appointed by the capable, with surviving scientists and people with strong survivability. There were many people, and this period lasted for about fifteen years. Later, as the human race gained a foothold in the wilderness and the social model became more stable, no one could remember which new city started first, and the position of city lord became a hereditary system. This act was like opening a dam to hold back a flood, and other new towns followed suit.
Today, fifty years have passed since the Eternal Night Poison Rain. In the post-disaster world, almost all city lord positions in new cities below C level are hereditary.
Wu Chan knew very well that Xiao Tianchou, the lord of D067 New City, did not really want to kill his son himself. After all, no one would go to all the trouble to hire a killer with a show that would be known to the whole city. Moreover, Wu Chan knew better that Xiao Tianchou had enough strength in his heart, and his skinny and old appearance was just a disease.
Schizoderma.
Also known as the "Curse of the Old City".
Decades ago, the first batch of treasure hunters to enter the old city, in order to speed up the construction of the new city and the overall situation of human civilization, went deep into the old city regardless of their own safety. Although strong people can survive from the mouth of evil spirits, they ignore the damage caused by miasma to their bodies. At that time, the means of clearing miasma were far from as developed and effective as they are today. The miasma that cannot be replaced by metabolism has been slowly eroding human organs over time. The first phenomenon that occurs is falling into a deep coma, which lasts for three to five days at first, then seven or eight days, and then sleeps for a month. People with strong willpower can survive the inability to eat coma, but the real torture has just begun. Soon after a person wakes up from a coma, the skin will crack like dry earth. When the crack reaches the end, the person will completely lose the skin and expose the muscle texture, just like an anatomy prop with stripped skin. This is a terrible way to die.
In order to treat schizophrenia, doctors have spent countless efforts to develop a special medicine called "liquid gold". The name was chosen not only because the potion looks like molten gold, but also because it is expensive, almost as expensive as gold of the same quality.
Using liquid gold will prevent humans from dying from Splitskin. However, this drug is very toxic, and its side effects can cause massive hair loss and accelerate aging. A fifty-year-old person will look as if he is seventy years old.
The first time Wu Chan saw Xiao Tianqiu, he could tell that his aging was the price of liquid gold treatment. This shows that Xiao Tianchou broke through the old city a long time ago and is considered to be of the pioneer generation.
At that time, treasure hunters who could enter the old city needed not only extraordinary strength, but also much more courage than people today.
The maid did not leave after putting down the coffee. She stood behind the wheelchair as if waiting for the city lord's instructions. As a maid who serves an old man in a wheelchair, she looks too beautiful and dresses too seductively—the low collar of the maid dress leaves more than a third of her breasts exposed to the air for people to admire. The ultra-short skirt exposed her butt when she bent over, and the tops of the black stockings stretched the fleshy flesh on her thighs. This maid's job probably isn't just about serving tea and water.
Xiao Tianchou said to Wu Chan: "I'm waiting for your reply."
Wu Chan said: "Which of your three sons do you want to kill first?"
Xiao Tianchou was stunned for a moment, but this reaction was fleeting. If Wu Chan hadn't had sharp eyesight, he would never have noticed it.
He said: "Let's kill the boss first. After all, he is the oldest and should be the most sensible, but he does the most ignorant things."
Wu Chan said: "Then."
Xiao Tianchou said: "The third child, he is the youngest and the most favored, but now he is the most rebellious."
Wu Chan said: "The last thing is your dick."
Xiao Tianchou said: "It's not my second son, it's my second son."
Wu Chan ignored the silly and dirty jokes made by the seemingly old city lord, "You said you loved the third child the most, but you killed the second child in the end."
Xiao Tianchou said: "The second child is the smartest. Once the brother dies, he should be deterred."
Wu Chan said: "If you really think he is smart, then kill the boss and the goal will be achieved. There is no need to hook up with the third brother."
Xiao Tianchou said: "Just because he is smart, once the eldest brother dies, he will definitely unite with the third son to fight against me. I didn't say not to kill him, remember, what I said at the beginning was to kill my three sons."
Wu Chan said: "In that case, I should kill the second child first."
Xiao Tianchou said: "No, no, no. Then he will not be able to taste the taste of fear. The smarter the person, the more he will enjoy this taste."
His words confirmed Wu Chan's guess—Xiao Tianchou was just old on the outside, but still vicious and powerful on the inside.
Wu Chan said: "Then what benefits can I get?"
Xiao Tianchou asked: "What benefits do you want to get?"
"I don't have anything I want from City Hall," Wuchan said.
Xiao Tianchou said: "Does this mean you want to reject me?"
Wu Chan said: "No."
Xiao Tianchou became interested.
A man, in front of his father, discusses killing his son. This person is either bold, extremely bad, or extremely stupid.
But Wu Chan is definitely not the latter two.
Not only was he not stupid, but Xiao Tianqiu had received intelligence from many aspects that showed that this young man named Wu Chan was extremely smart. An extremely smart person should have figured out long ago that his so-called killing of his three sons was just a bait to arouse people's curiosity.
Now Wu Chan rebelled against an army, which aroused Xiao Tianchou's curiosity.
Xiao Tianchou asked: "If you don't want any reward, does it mean you have to help me for free?"
Wu Chan said: "It's not to help you, but to avenge myself. As for the reason, you know it very well, don't you?"
Xiao Tianchou remained silent.
Wu Chan made it clear: "When I was in the old city of D1103, I was attacked by a group of resource recovery teams. They were well-trained and extremely powerful. After I killed them all, I could not find any such team. Regarding the spoils of the old city, they came directly for me, no, to be precise, they came for the long fang knife in my hand.”
He paused to make sure Xiao Tianchou adapted to the speed of his speech, and then said: "I was robbed by another group of people on my way back from the old city. Their target was my Hell Mandala. Two people targeted me The targets are different, so I infer that the two masterminds are not the same person, if I guess correctly, they are two of your three sons."
Xiao Tianchou smiled, which meant that he did not directly deny it.
Wu Chan said: "That's why you invited me here. That's why you just deliberately asked me to kill your sons. In fact, your real purpose is to save their lives."
Xiao Tianchou applauded and praised: "You are indeed extremely smart. You are well-deserved and well-deserved. Good job."
Wu Chan ignored Xiao Tianchou and turned his attention to the maid behind him.
"I'm not smart, but I have good eyesight. This maid should be your dick."
The maid's expression changed instantly.
"I-I'm not."
Wu Chan said: "Do you dare to bet? The kind of bet on life. If I guess wrong, I will give myself a knife. If I guess right, don't blame me for being ruthless. After all, you also heard what the city lord asked me to do just now. ”
The maid was stunned and shouldn't have responded.
Xiao Tianchou clapped his hands hard, which shocked the maid's shoulders, but also relieved her from her tension.
He asked Wu Chan: "How did you see it?"
This time, there was no smile on the old man's face.
