Chapter 38: A Harbor of Filth
"Glacier?"

Su Lie was not unfamiliar with this deep cyber world. Even with his super senses, he understood it more thoroughly.

In Daxuan, including countries outside Daxuan, 90% of all black industries can be linked to "Glacier", including human trafficking, human organ trade, and even some bloody and violent performances.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the city they live in is a harmonious city with sound laws and law-abiding and law-abiding people. However, when night falls, crimes always occur in some invisible corners.

Those characters who seem glamorous and brilliant in daily life may be the instigators or victims of bloody and violent incidents in the "Glacier".

Humans stand at the top of the food chain in nature. As hunters, they not only hunt other species, but also eat their own kind.

Su Lie's eyes flickered across the website interface. Hundreds or thousands of pictures flashed in the drop-down box every second, and Su Lie captured them all.

The scenes show life-and-death struggles like wild beasts, attracting people in the "Glacier" to place bets crazily. There are also cruel killing performances that make people rush in crazily, and there are also men and women with good looks being auctioned like goods. Some of them have been killed, and some may not have been killed but have been targeted.

Suddenly, Su Lie's eyes were fixed on one of the pictures, in which a picture of a young girl was jumping. Her bright smile was full of youthful vitality, and her delicate face made her glow with a different kind of brilliance.

Looking at the sky-high price marked at the bottom of the screen, as well as the payment notification, Su Lie's eyes glowed red, and an unprecedented violent emotion rose in his heart.

Since loading the Bronze Superman template, Su Lie has been developing in a low-key manner. He has never relied on strength to act recklessly. He pursues the balanced development of mind and strength, and sticks to the bottom line of being a human being... Well, in fact, he also feels that his strength has not reached its limit and cannot suppress everything, so he is quietly developing and strengthening his strength.

But he didn't expect that his low profile would allow some unknown garbage to reach out to him. In this case, Su Lie didn't mind doing some activities. Since they were underground rats, they should never show their heads. If they dared to show their heads and showed their teeth to him, Su Lie didn't mind letting them sleep underground forever.

……

The next day, when the sky was bright, no one knew that several people had disappeared silently in Qingyuan City last night. Those who were supposed to work went to work, those who were supposed to go to school went to school, and everything was as usual.

Two weeks have passed since the hotel conflict, and the related heat on the Internet has long cooled down. Except for a few people who continue to pay attention to it, Su Lie's life has returned to normal. At least it is no longer like before, when he would be attacked by various internet celebrities for traffic as soon as he went out, or he would be watched by everyone like a monkey.

Su Lie spent the day at school safely, and left school with Bai Yuqi after school. Guanyunxuan was located in the city center, not far from various primary and secondary schools, so Su Lie did not choose to live on campus.

Bai Yuqi always had a car to pick her up and drop her off, so Su Lie said goodbye to her at the school gate and headed home.

After arriving home, Su Lie returned to the bedroom and locked onto a direction with his super vision. There was an ordinary private car parked there. A middle-aged man in the car was talking to someone wearing wireless headphones, and the content of the conversation was Bai Yuqi.

"The first phase of observation has been completed. The target lives a very regular life. The target's parents are businessmen, and the family is middle class. There is no deep background. The risk assessment is level 1, and the second phase of the plan can begin."

"Yes, the goods can be delivered within half a month."

After a few brief conversations, the middle-aged man hung up the phone, then took out a palm-sized notebook from his inner pocket, opened the cover, and saw all kinds of information densely listed inside.

At the top of each page is a person's name, and the information below the name is clear, even down to small details like eating and drinking.

The middle-aged man turned to a certain page and saw Bai Yuqi's name written prominently at the top of the page, with the corresponding information recorded below.

"I should be able to get quite a bit of commission by completing this order, and Xiaofeng's illness will also be solved..."

The middle-aged man muttered to himself, and he pulled open the sun visor on his head, which showed a photo embedded in it. The photo showed a thin boy with a shaved head, tubes inserted all over his body, and he tried hard to put on a bright smile on his thin face.

The middle-aged man looked at the picture with a loving look in his eyes. Once upon a time, he was also a mercenary who dominated the border.

After retiring from the army, he originally wanted to live a stable life with his family, but he didn't expect his child to fall ill. This almost incurable disease took away his wife and also ruined his family.

Now his only thought was to make enough money to treat his child, even if it meant using any means. Besides, as a mercenary who had killed countless people, what did other people's lives mean to him? The engine roared into the traffic, and it went straight until it finally stopped at the outskirts of the city. This was an abandoned warehouse, which was transformed by a middle-aged man to serve as a cargo transfer station and a temporary place to stay.

At the moment when the vehicle stopped in the warehouse, in a room of Guanyunxuan more than ten kilometers away.

"call!"

The tightly closed window was opened at some point, and the whistling air brought about a strong gust of wind that swept the curtains outward. When the strong wind subsided and the curtains fell back into the room, the figure who had been standing in front of the window had disappeared.

……

Squeak!

The rusty warehouse door was pushed open a crack, and as the lights came on, the scene inside the warehouse was clearly visible.

Unlike the shabby exterior, the entire warehouse was kept exceptionally clean, especially the innermost corner area. If it weren't for the missing two walls, the entire layout would have been a cozy bedroom in a city house.

Zhou Wu came to the corner, turned on the warm light on the table, then took out another daily mobile phone from his pocket and made a video call.

"Brother Wu?"

When the video was connected, a middle-aged woman with a gentle face appeared in front of her. When the woman saw Zhou Wu in the video, a touch of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

"Amei, is Xiaofeng asleep?" Facing the woman, Zhou Wu's cold face softened a lot.

"Well, I had chemotherapy today and just went to bed. Take a look." The woman moved the phone, and then a little boy with tubes stuck all over his body appeared in the video. He seemed to be in pain and frowned even in his sleep.

"It's good that you fell asleep. I just got paid today and some money was transferred to my card. You can withdraw it and pay for the surgery first."

"Okay, Brother Wu... be safe. No matter what you are doing, Xiaofeng and I are waiting for you." The woman in the video seemed to be hesitant to speak, and the two continued to talk for a few minutes before hanging up.

The warehouse fell silent again. Thinking of what Ah Mei had said just now, Zhou Wu's expression became complicated and then hardened: "Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, shrimps eat mud, this is how the world is, I am not wrong. If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves."

"Since you dare to take advantage of others' mistakes, why don't you strike down those who are richer and more powerful?"

A sudden sound rang out in the warehouse, and Zhou Wu's expression instantly became solemn. Without even a second thought, he turned around, drew his gun, and fired. His movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.

Boom!
The pistol equipped with a silencer made a dull sound, but the imagined blood splatter did not appear, instead making Zhou Wu wonder if he was seeing things.

I saw a flat, copper-yellow metal lump sticking to the tip of the man's index finger. It was a 7.62mm caliber bullet shot by Zhou Wu. It should have broken the man's fingers and then penetrated his palm, but now it was like hitting a solid wall.

The powerful kinetic energy meant that even though the bullet was squeezed and crumpled into a ball, it still briefly stuck to the tip of the opponent's index finger, and only fell to the ground a second later, splashing some dust.

"Please don't tear my new clothes."

"What kind of monster are you!" Zhou Wu whispered in shock, but before he could speak, the figure in front of him had already disappeared. After years of fighting, Zhou Wu was about to roll over to dodge, but the next moment he felt his neck tighten, and the feeling of suffocation spread throughout his brain, and then his body was lifted up by a hand holding his neck.

"Who asked you to capture Bai Yuqi?" Su Lie's tone was cold, but he loosened his grip slightly to ensure that the other party could speak normally.
