The Fourth Disaster Begins at the Dawn of the Millennium

"I've accepted a small temporary mission. The goal is to rescue a child. The human traffickers have been marked. Is there anyone nearby who can intercept them?"

"I should be able to! I see the target you marked is coming towards me. I see... a bright red health bar. I can kill him!"

"It's actually a red health bar. OK, I don't know if there is a dead person lottery in Guangzhou. It seems we have to contribute a few..."

Chapter 97: Human Trafficker: I want to call the police!!!

The Hunan guy and the player were trying to shuttle between the crowds, desperately chasing after the fast-moving figures in front of them. The traffickers in front were carrying the little boy and running without looking back, although they had more people.

Most of them have weapons, but they just don't plan to go back and fight again.

How did the college student (player) of Bin beat up the pickpocket with a knife? He felt that he might not be able to beat him; or he was worried that if he entangled with him for too long, his identity as a human trafficker would be exposed and he might be beaten up by a group of people. In short, they relied on their familiarity with the terrain of Guangzhou Railway Station, and gradually distanced themselves from the "pursuers" behind them, running towards the exit where there was not much traffic.

But just as they were about to run out of the train station, suddenly,

The trafficker in front felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. It turned out that two Nokia phones hit his head with a dull thud.

The trafficker staggered, and the little boy in his hand almost fell. Then a stream of blood flowed down his hair. He groaned in pain, his steps became unsteady, and he fell to the ground.

The other traffickers panicked when they saw their companions injured. A strong man in a black leather jacket rushed over from the side, like a tiger pouncing on its prey (Player: "Hey, grab the head!") Among the remaining traffickers, one of them quickly pulled out a dagger from his clothes, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, threatening the player not to meddle.

The man in the leather jacket was not afraid of the trafficker with a knife, because he quickly pulled out a black knife like a magic trick.

The pistol was aimed at the knife-wielding trafficker. The trafficker was stunned...

"Freeze! Police!"

The passengers around heard the shout and looked over. They saw the man in the leather jacket holding a gun in one hand and

He took out a random ID from his pocket, waved it around, and shouted:

Don't be nervous! I'm a police officer from the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau. Stop and arrest the traffickers!" The traffickers knew they had no way to escape.

The dagger hung limply and was finally thrown to the ground, and his hands were raised in a sign of surrender.

In just a short while, another player accompanied the Hunan brother and chased after him. The player dressed as a college student quickly subdued the other woman trafficker. As for the Hunan brother, he was so excited that he could hardly stand. He hugged the "lost and found" child with tears rolling down his cheeks. The child also hugged the Hunan brother and shouted "Dad, Dad..."

Now, even a fool could see what was happening. The passengers around applauded and cheered. Some of the more excited passengers even decided to beat up the traffickers. The man in the leather jacket had to persuade everyone to calm down and disperse. Everyone should hurry up and go on their way. We still have to take these guys to the police station for interrogation! (Everyone felt relieved after venting their anger, but if they stayed here for too long, it would be troublesome if they met real plainclothes police)

After persuading the agitated passengers to leave, the man in the leather jacket held a pistol in one hand, the muzzle of which was always pointed at the traffickers, and took out a

Take out the handcuffs and throw them to the college player, asking him to get up. (Player A: "Fuck, where did you get the handcuffs?" Player

B: "I thought these were some of the supplies from the security department at the pressure cooker factory and found them interesting so I took a few with me. I never expected to use them....")

"Don't move! Stay still! Let's go! Get in the car!"

Catching the traffickers was not originally part of the players' plan, but it was not a big problem, it was just a matter of calling for an extra car. The four players who took the train south had to split into two groups. One group, led by two players, escorted the NPCs and goods of the pressure cooker factory back to the temporary residence of the Universal Group in Guangzhou - Baiyun Hotel; the other group escorted the traffickers to the warehouse rented by the players in a remote urban-rural junction, which was also nicknamed "Miao Miao House" by the players.

As for the guy from Hunan, he had to say goodbye to the player disguised as a college student at the entrance of the train station.

Although the elder brother looked dull and honest, he actually knew everything. He saw that this college student was not an ordinary college student from a wealthy family. Whether it was from his skill in grabbing the knife or his relationship with the plainclothes policeman with guns, he was not ordinary. What he said on the train about going south to find a job was probably a lie. The elder brother thought that he was unlikely to have any dealings with such a person in the future, except for accidentally taking the same train with him, so he prepared to thank the college student one last time and then say goodbye.

"Okay, then you can go find a job with your child first. Oh, I'll write down my mobile phone number for you. Keep it. If you come across me in the future,

If it becomes difficult not to go, or if your child encounters any difficulties, please call me. "

On WeChat, the player in the leather jacket and the player playing the college student were talking about how to...how to shock these traffickers:

Player A: "How did you come up with the idea of ​​pretending to be a plainclothes policeman? That's amazing! While I was chasing him, I was still thinking about how to hide in public.

If we deal with these red names and shoot them on the spot, it would be too shocking. It would probably make the front page of the local newspaper... But it is impossible not to kill them. They are already red names, how can we let them go?"

Player B: "It was a sudden inspiration. A flash of wisdom suddenly flashed through my mind, and then I started to perform boldly and carefully.

Fortunately, the people around me couldn’t see my company employee ID card clearly, so I fooled them.”

Meanwhile, the trafficker was handcuffed in the car, sitting in an uncomfortable position, and from time to time he would ask the plainclothes policeman in a leather jacket sitting in the passenger seat: "Why hasn't it arrived yet? How long have you been driving?"

"Shut up!" the player always responded, occasionally adding, "Be careful or I'll beat you up!"

At this time, the sky was dyed orange-red by the setting sun, and the scene at the junction of the city and the suburbs seemed particularly desolate and quiet. On the horizon, a few dilapidated factory buildings and scattered farmhouses blurred into dark shadows in the twilight. The roads here were bumpy and overgrown with weeds, and occasionally a few abandoned tires and rusty iron sheets could be seen on the roadside.

"Damn it, it's almost night time, why is the car still driving? Why hasn't we reached the police station yet?" The young human trafficker couldn't help but complain in a low voice. The only human trafficker among them who had been to jail had cold sweat on his forehead at this moment.

"Where are we? Aren't you police officers?" the young trafficker finally couldn't help but ask loudly.

“Let me tell you a good news and a bad news. The good news is, it’s not the police who arrested you. The bad news is also, it’s not the police who arrested you... Don’t you like trafficking in human beings? Now, you are being sold to us!” The player in the co-pilot seat took out a gun and gestured. The trafficker was stunned for a few seconds, then his face turned pale in an instant, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

The car finally stopped in front of a warehouse that looked quite old. The lights went out and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

"Okay, here it is, bring them in!"

Chapter 98 Our interrogation method draws on the best of many others

For human traffickers, the consequences will be different if they are caught by different people.

If you are caught by the police, that would be your best luck, but the chances are you will go to jail.

If you are caught by ordinary people, whether you live or die depends entirely on luck. You will definitely be beaten, and it is not impossible that you will lose limbs. The key lies in the follow-up. If you can hold on until the police arrive, it's still good; if you can't hold on until the police arrive, you may die at the hands of the masses.

Being controlled by some strange gangs... Most of the traffickers have never had this experience. I just heard that some people with special skills

Some skilled human traffickers not only abduct and sell ordinary women and children, but also sell their peers.

But... I have been in this business for a long time and have never heard of any local human trafficking gang with guns. The three human traffickers who were taken from the car to the warehouse thought for a long time but still had no idea where the other party came from. They just vaguely felt that they were going to be in big trouble.

"Torture, torture, how do we torture? What do we ask?" "Think about it first..."

"Think while you fight..."

Since leaving the car, the player has started slapping the traffickers in various ways. He slapped them when they got off the car, when they entered the house, when they ordered the traffickers to sit on the chair, before going to the toilet, and again when they came back. When they were eating, they suddenly slapped the traffickers hard, and then came back to continue eating. Moreover, these slaps were all for no reason, at any time and any place without any warning, and the player was very calm when slapping them, and he was also very calm after the slapping.

But even this most common slap in the face was enough to make the human traffickers in the warehouse feel uneasy. They could clearly feel that the other party might not treat them as human beings.

The players' warmth and restraint towards most NPCs comes from the fact that there is no "red blood bar" on their heads. When the "red blood bar" appears, the players basically stop treating them as human beings. At the same time, out of the most simple concept of good and evil, players are also happy to torture characters like human traffickers in the game world.

Considering that using lethal means right from the start might kill someone directly, and there were no hospitals nearby, the players first chose the elementary torture method they learned from the LAPD.

The dim chandelier hung on the ceiling, casting a long shadow in the space of Wei Yu's memory. Suddenly, the trafficker on the chair trembled all over, his face was pale, and cold sweat was on his forehead. His hands were tied behind his back, and his wrists were red as blood.

One player pressed the sponge pad in his hand against the belly of the trafficker, while another player picked up a large frameless stick from the side. The trafficker struggled to speak, but his mouth was sealed with glue, and he could only make "humming" sounds. The sticks kept hitting the trafficker's heart. Each hit was accompanied by a dull sound. These sponges could absorb part of the force, but this only ensured that the trafficker would not be killed directly by the players with great strength, and could also continue to cause zero internal injuries to the trafficker. This was a method with average lethality but high pain. The trafficker's body was still shaking violently, and painful groans came from the depths of his throat.

"Tell me! How did you contact your superiors? Where are your accomplices?

You don't say anything, but you are being stubborn, right? Damn it! You still don't say anything, do you think you are really stubborn?"

Tears fell from the trafficker's eyes, he shook his head, and made a hesitant sound in his throat. The violent vibration of his internal organs almost made the trafficker faint. The player swinging the stick continued to beat for a while. The player next to Fang reminded him: "Why don't you tear off the tape on his mouth?

ah...…"

The player tore off the tape on the trafficker's mouth, thinking that he had just used some tricks to make this guy surrender, but he blurted out: "I... I don't know, it's always the people above who contact us, and we don't know how to contact them... Please... stop hitting me..."

"You disappoint me so much. I gave you a chance so that you can beg for mercy? OK, it's time for you to experience the special torture method from the CIA..."

The trafficker was tied up again in a head-down and foot-high position, with his face covered by a towel. His breathing was rapid and disordered due to the unknown fear. The player next to him held a plastic kettle filled with water. The trafficker struggled to speak, but his mouth was tightly sealed with a towel and he could not make any sound. The player tilted the kettle, and the cold water poured down from the mouth of the kettle, instantly soaking the towel covering the trafficker's face and quickly blocking his airway.

After only a few seconds or ten seconds, the trafficker's body began to spasm violently, and his hands and feet kicked wildly, trying to break free, but this posture made his struggle seem extremely weak. Under the towel, his breathing became rapid and disordered, bright red blood oozed from the corners of his eyes and nostrils, and his consciousness gradually blurred, as if he could fall into the abyss at any time. The instinct for survival made him continue to struggle, desperately trying to open his mouth to breathe, but this in turn allowed more water to enter his stomach, lungs and trachea.

This was a true experience of struggling to death, with one foot halfway into the gates of hell. The player saw that the torture was almost over and that he would really die if he continued, so he stopped pouring water to give the trafficker a moment to breathe. The trafficker took big gulps of air, greedily breathing in it, but this was only a short-term relief, just to make the trafficker endure the torture for a longer time.

"OK, let's do it again!"

"I'll tell you everything I know! Please! I once brought them food. They had abducted some children who had problems and couldn't be helped. They placed them there. I know where it is!"

"Okay, take him to the small dark room!" The player dragged the dead trafficker to another room. While dragging him, he looked back at the other two traffickers who had witnessed the torture and were shaking with fear, and said, "Hey, it's your turn!"

After settling the employees and goods of the pressure cooker company and arriving at Baiyun Hotel, the other two players who were on the same train also drove to "Miao Miao House" in the suburbs with great interest.

They brought new torture tools, one of which was a broom. The method was also very simple and crude. The broom handle was inserted into the victim's body and stirred back and forth. The victim's intestines would be severely damaged in the process. Another one was a pitching machine that could shoot baseballs. The baseballs were shot at the head with a very fast speed. One by one, they hit the head, which was very painful. The last tool was a thermos bucket filled with hot yellow rice.

"Is the review almost done?" asked a player.

"It's almost done. These three traffickers are not iron warriors. How can they not confess? If we use this method, they can confess everything from the time they wore open-crotch pants. Besides, we are trying them separately, so we don't give them any chance to collude with each other. There are a few addresses we can go to and verify their authenticity."

"Okay, these guys must be hungry now. Let's get some cold water and dip the yellow rice in the cold water to fill their stomachs. I asked Sister Liu from our pressure cooker factory, and she said that if they catch human traffickers, they use this stuff to entertain them."

"Okay, so, if this is proven to be true, what will happen to these three people in the end?"

"I brought a sawed-off shotgun with me...

Chapter 99 If you can’t find your parents, then come with us.

The police station in charge of public security at Guangzhou Railway Station suddenly received an unexpected banner today, praising the police for saving abducted children and bravely fighting human traffickers. Faced with this inexplicable banner, the director frowned in confusion: "What's going on? I remember that we only caught a few pickpockets during this period, and there were no cases of human traffickers."

"Oh, they said they were arrested by plainclothes police."

"That's not right. I only heard that a few pickpockets were arrested recently. Where did the human traffickers come from? Maybe they were from a sister unit? Well, I'll go ask them when the time comes. Speaking of this, I remember cooperating with a sister unit of the public security department in Shandong to handle a case. I heard them talk about how they feared inter-provincial arrests when it came to arresting human traffickers. Why? They weren't afraid of the hardship or fatigue, but they were afraid that the unit wouldn't reimburse them. The scout from Shandong had a thick stack of unreimbursed travel expense slips on him. That wasn't the worst. The worst was that some colleagues died in the struggle, and they couldn't even get their bills reimbursed."

In front of the police station, a bustling crowd was busy shuttling back and forth under the scorching sun. The sound of the station broadcast mixed with the roar of the train was noisy. In the police station hall, the old electric fan on the wall squeaked, trying to stir up the stuffy air. Several rows of benches were filled with people of all kinds, some reporting crimes, some coming to collect documents, and some waiting to handle other matters. The police officers at the front desk were busy answering calls and recording information. It seemed that there were new things to deal with every minute.

Suddenly, a young couple rushed in.

"Comrade, my child is missing, please help us!" the man said anxiously, his voice trembling due to excessive nervousness. He tightly grasped a photo in his hand. The child in the photo was about seven or eight years old, with a pair of clear and bright big eyes and an innocent smile.

The police officer at the front desk looked at them, sighed, motioned them to wait, then picked up the phone and called a colleague in charge of this case. After a while, a middle-aged policeman with a face full of fatigue came over.

"I'm Officer Liu. What's going on?"

"Officer Liu, this is what happened. My wife and I run a small shop opposite the train station. My wife was in charge of the shop, and I went out to buy goods. We left the child to play near the shop, but just an hour ago, my wife suddenly found that the child was missing. We searched for him for a long time with our neighbors but couldn't find him. Please help us find him!"

Officer Liu frowned, put down the pen in his hand, and patiently explained: "Don't worry, the child may have just gone out to play and will be back soon. Every year, there are many cases where parents find their children missing and call the police anxiously. Then we search for a long time and find that the child just went to the Internet cafe to play, or has already returned home."

"Then, Officer Liu, can we open a case first?" "According to regulations, a child must be missing for more than 24 hours before a case can be formally opened. We understand your feelings, but this is a legal procedure.

"(Missing persons can only be entered into the system 24 hours after they have been missing. In order to prevent waste of police force and improve police response efficiency, the public security department also

The system of filing a case only after a missing person has been missing for more than 24 hours has been recognized. This system has led to a large number of children being unable to be found after disappearance, and has been criticized by society, so this regulation was changed after 24. )"

"24 hours? If the child is kidnapped, we won't know where he is after 24 hours!" the man shouted excitedly, his voice echoing in the hall. Officer Liu shook his head helplessly: "Every year, many parents of missing children come to us to report the case. At the beginning, they are as anxious as you, but we have to follow the procedures."

"Procedure, procedure! What should we do? We can wait for 24 hours, but can the children wait?"

Officer Liu looked at them with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, but he only consoled them: "We will try our best to help you find the child, but it will take time to formally file a case. You can provide detailed information about the child first, and we will pay more attention to it."

At the same time, a private house far away in a rural-urban junction

In this game, more than 20 human traffickers were taken down by four players. More than 20 human traffickers were taken down, which is more than the 20 people killed by their peers in East Timor.

I don't know where the Indonesian regular army soldier went. But it's easy to shoot, but it's troublesome to clean up the mess.

In this residential building, there are dozens of women and children who were trafficked by this group of human traffickers. These women have not been trafficked to certain families to be married, but they have suffered from beatings and rapes in the hands of human traffickers; if these children were sold to certain families to be other people's children, it would be a blessing in disguise. What is even more tragic is that the normal children who were trafficked were disabled by breaking their limbs, mouths, tongues and noses, and then using them to beg for money.

From the simple interrogation, the player learned that several children sold by this human trafficker gang had their legs broken with bricks, and the children cried heartbreakingly. After the legs were broken, pus flowed out and became infected. After the infection, they were not treated, and the legs gradually rotted and pus flowed out. The more miserable the children were, the more money they made. After hearing this, the player immediately took out a short-barreled shotgun and shot the trafficker's knees twice, and then asked: "Is that so?"

Some of the abducted women and the older ones who still remember their parents' names and home addresses are relatively lucky and at least have the chance to go home. But some of the children are very young and have no idea who their parents are or where their home is. Some are even babies. There are also some children whose parents were killed by traffickers when they snatched them away, leaving them homeless.

"What the hell, what should we do? Leave them here?"

"Why not just take them away...If no one takes care of them, they will either be trafficked again or end up in an orphanage."

"What? Take her away? Damn, when did Universal Group start opening its first orphanage?"

"You don't marry or have children in real life, but you raise cyber soldiers in the game, right..." "Train the next generation of super soldiers for the Universal Group, start!"

At the Baiyun Hotel, the employees of the pressure cooker company were chatting about the various strange things they had encountered in Guangzhou in the past few days, while preparing for the next day's sales exhibition. The company specially contracted the shops of several large supermarkets in Guangzhou, preparing to make the first generation of smart high-voltage electric cookers famous here! If the effect is good, the company is going to launch an advertising offensive in the south and the north at the same time, and thoroughly roll out advertising and marketing outlets in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Hangzhou, Hong Kong and other places.

As for the players sitting in Baiyun Hotel, there are more things to do. On the one hand, some of them have to act as the fully responsible representatives sent by the pressure cooker company and deal with various businesses; on the other hand, others have to represent the Universal Group to deal with banks, governments, enterprises and other parties to negotiate the acquisition of various non-performing assets. Right now, the Asian financial crisis is intensifying, and banks have countless bad debts. The government and banks are very happy to see overseas buyers take over these non-performing assets. As long as you have money, many things that originally had thresholds have become barrier-free.

However, the Universal Group makes a lot of money and has many places to spend money. At this time, the Universal Group is not only supporting combat players in guerrilla warfare in East Timor, but also recruiting retired military personnel and weapons and equipment in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other countries. It is unable to openly provide money to the players in Baiyun Hotel to acquire non-performing assets.

It was at this time that several players who were accidentally involved in the fight against human traffickers proposed:

"Lack of money? Do you think Night City and Gotham City are short of money? Look, there are criminal organizations everywhere. They may be dangerous to others, but to us, aren't they pigs to be slaughtered? Just the ones we know of, there are the Western Guangdong Gang, the Chaoshan Gang, and underground banks. They are involved in drug trafficking, smuggling, gambling, loan sharking, human trafficking, extortion, and kidnapping. All of these people have a lot of cash in their hands."

"Cash? That's great! If they have a lot of houses, stocks, etc., I really don't know what to do..."

Chapter 100: Alternating between light and dark, between black and white

On an ordinary weekend morning, Guangzhou Tianhe City was as busy as usual. This large-scale integrated commercial center gathers many brand stores and attracts countless citizens who come to shop and relax. In a corner of Tianhe City, a new store has just opened. This is a store selling smart electric pressure cookers. The store's unique facade design has attracted many curious eyes.

The large screen display wall at the entrance is particularly eye-catching. The screen plays a product demonstration video in a loop, showing the various functions of the smart electric pressure cooker, such as cooking rice, stewing soup, and making porridge. The counter and display racks are made of stainless steel and aluminum alloy, and the glass material sparkles under the light. The walls of the store are also made of metal-textured materials, and the hidden LED light strips emit soft light along the edges of the ceiling and display racks, creating a sense of technology.

People haven't seen the products sold in this store in person, but just by looking at the storefront, they feel that the products must be "high-end".

The sales staff in uniform began to introduce the products to the customers who entered the store:

"This electric pressure cooker uses the latest intelligent control system, which can automatically adjust the temperature and pressure according to the type of food and cooking requirements, ensuring that every dish can achieve the best taste." "This electric pressure cooker also has a reservation function. You can set the cooking time in advance, and it will automatically start when the time comes. It is very convenient."
