In 1980, Commander Li Gen came to power. He is quite legendary and is the only actor among the Commander.

He used to film in Hollywood, but later became the commander. You just say that miracles are not miracles, right? In Zhao Hao's impression, it seems that Wu Ermao replicated this operation.

The year that Commander Li came to power was the most difficult time in recent years. In the economic crisis brought about by the second oil crisis, nearly 8 million people in Amei were unemployed.

The average hourly wage of workers has dropped by 5% compared to before 1976, while the federal government imposed an average of 67%. The national debt is nearly 1 trillion yuan, and the fiscal deficit is serious...

In order to end inflation, Commander Li tightened the money supply. He just stopped printing money, made the money less, and took the initiative to make the US dollar valuable.

This caused a sensation. We are all so poor, and you are still tightening? Do you want me to die?

Amei's economy has declined sharply since July 1981. On the eve of Christmas in the past, it can be said that Amei's worst time. In the past ten years, the people of Amei have not had such a poor Christmas...

The economic recession was still expected by Zhao Hao. After all, in his not very reliable financial knowledge, I probably remember that Commander Li, who was an actor, was re-elected because he revitalized the economy.

What he didn't expect was that the few quick words on the Internet were so hard in reality.

Let me put it this way, those women standing on the street in simple clothes in the alleys have been several times more than in the past few years. Moreover, they are so powerful that they can basically go to the alleys with a bill to do business.

Moreover, the homeless people spend Christmas in the leeward corners of the street this year are more than three times that of last year!

On that day, Zhao Hao and agents from the Mysterious Bureau ran around to capture various extraordinary creatures in the world, and there were homeless people and beggars in almost every block. This added a lot of trouble to the mission.

And this is not an ordinary material world after all, and economic difficulties are so great frustration and harm to people's hearts.

And in this world, large-scale negative emotions are not a good thing.

But Zhao Hao didn't know what he could do at that time. He was still waiting for the economic recovery to recover and the high-quality resources he bought at the bottom soared.

After all, he is not a beauty. He is born with less sense of belonging and does not have much sense of responsibility.

Besides, he was called by Colt and promoted to his "thirteen special members", and then he was grouped and awarded medals. He was now full of vigilance.

History has proven that Ami suddenly treats you well, which is not a good thing.

He had already started to prepare in secret. If he really tear his face apart, he would have to withdraw as soon as possible.

Of course, the best way is to maintain the surface balance. Since you still have value in use now, you will not be able to do anything for a while.

...

On this day, he was sent another mission to investigate a missing case.

This case is a bit strange. It was originally suppressed, and even the intelligence department of the Liberty City Branch could not get any information. If someone had not escaped and attracted the attention of the police, he might have not been discovered yet.

The incident occurred in a slum in the Bronx, where there were very huge slums, forming a large area.

Especially in this economic situation, there are almost everywhere in individuals and companies. Once you lose your work bills and can’t change your house, you may lose your house. Better sleep on a car, and worse ones will wrap around the streets with a bedding. Once you get into this situation, you will basically have no chance to turn things around.

It can be said that in the past two years, more than twice the number of "residents" in nearby slums has increased.

At first, most of them were black families, and now they also included more minorities and some white vagabonds.

This place is considered a high degree of civil autonomy, and several major blocks can almost become a new city independently.

This local government is very fragmented, often a large slum spans several counties and is composed of more than a dozen independent counties, towns and neighborhoods.

These fragmented local governments are like small businesses, with independent administration and independent taxation, and only serve taxpayers in their jurisdiction, greatly promoting polarization.

The result is that the wealthy areas have high taxes, good public security, and beautiful public infrastructure.

Tax revenues in slums are low, infrastructure is abolished, and fire brigades are withdrawn, let alone public security.

The cheap apartments in the slums in the Bronx are connected by countless illegal buildings, forming a huge complex of buildings with all kinds of connections, which often wrap up the streets, and the earliest buildings are probably over 100 years old.

You hold me, I support you, he connects you and me, and they are intricate and intricate, and are a three-dimensional behemoth, like a monster formed by a ruin...the meaning of Jiulong City.

Basically, the police did not go here, and the nearby police stations were also revoked, and many alley entrances were specially made roadblocks, and police cars could not enter.

Moreover, the police are unwilling to go in. In fact, the probability of sacrificing on duty is very high. Even the police are unwilling to call the police.

Otherwise, what about autonomy?

Generally, what happens here will be solved by the gang or community here. The problem cannot be solved by calling the police. It will not even be possible to come and take a look after a few days, ask a few questions and leave.

Yesterday, a black man escaped with a slum, saying that there was a man-eating monster in the slum.

To be honest, even the agents in black don't want to go in such places.

It is simply a three-dimensional dark ant nest built by industrial ruins. You must get lost when you walk in.

What's more, there is a numb poor man staring at you at any corner, or a vagabond who is lying in a gap where he can only accommodate him, or a group of malicious gang members, or even a crazy addict...

But extraordinary events must not be delayed, this is an iron rule.

Until now, no extraordinary event can be solved by dragging it out by itself. Basically, it will happen that it will be dragging bigger and bigger.

Conservatively estimated that 15,000 people are stationed in this slum, and the specific numbers cannot be counted, and the liquidity is too great.

Some people may suddenly appear one day, live for more than ten days and disappear again one day. They cannot know whether they have left or died.

Walking into the entrance of a slum, the stench from the unattended streets blew into the nose, and you could smell the more unpleasant and terrifying smell of poverty from the open door...

What can be seen is the exhausted and hungry mother, the dirty baby, the ugly old woman as an witch, the lazy and sloppy young girl, and the skinny tramp leaning on the corner of the wall and gasping.

The faces that dodge behind the doors and windows were all alert.

...

"Is this the case here before? The psychic fluctuations are too high!" Zhao Hao asked with his nose frowned.

To be honest, the five senses are too sensitive sometimes become weaknesses. For example, now, the smell is too stimulating, and Zhao Hao can't stand it.

He pretended to touch his nose and made a small barrier to cover his nose.

A black-clothed agent searched for information and replied: "Although the psychic reaction was quite strong before, there were frequent fluctuations. However, after using the negative emotions in the bureau to disperse the array, it has improved a lot. Now, it is probably a change that has happened after Christmas..."

Now on the psychic tester, the building ruins above the dozen high buildings in front of them have a more pragmatic reaction than ordinary people. This is abnormal, too high. This is not the inner world!

"Why did you realize it now? Why is the intelligence department becoming less and less useful?" Zhao Hao complained.

I always know when I get angry, what else can I do? I hired a few old ladies on the street to be more informed than you.

The black-clothed agent looked around, then came to Zhao Hao and whispered: "Zhao sir, it is said that someone secretly blocked the information channels of the intelligence department this time, and even the information sources of which extraordinary items have been invalid..."

Zhao Hao suddenly realized that just like the last wave of Japanese ninjas, someone was secretly engaging in a mysterious situation.

He raised his chin towards the slum dozens of meters away, "Did Colt say what to do here?"

The agent said: "The boss asked the superior for instructions, but the superior did not agree to the demolition. After all, the economy is in a downturn and there is no financial power to move this slum. After all, there are several places like this, Liberty City. The superior said..."

"What are you saying?"

"As long as the impact can be controlled in the slums, it is considered to be a task."

"Damn..." This is to completely give up the poor here, life and death are destined to be rich and noble!

Zhao Hao remembered the blonde young man he met last Christmas. He said one thing in the future: Maybe this is life~

It was settled from the moment I was born.

Now there is a choice in front of Zhao Hao: just a large barrier is needed to block here, and no matter what the hell can't come out, your mission will be completed.

I can still take the opportunity to get a wave of wool from the warehouse in the bureau. After all, how can I do big projects but not through?

However, there are more than 10,000 people in this slum!

Although they are in a difficult situation and have a hard time living every day to make a living, many people are plagued by illness without any hope, and they are even waiting to die. But are they not dead yet?

Is this really good?
