This side is close to the suburbs, and not far away, there is a slum, and there are many shacks, where there is a mixture of dragons and snakes, most of which are low-income people.

Poor families who are struggling to survive are also mixed with some shabby households, including beggars and gamblers.

Brie pointed to the slum, and said to his companion: "It's been a long time, except for a few bastards, I haven't seen anyone else. It is estimated that the fugitive went to the west, and there is nothing to do if I wander around. I will go there and see. Look."

A sea soldier Kaidō: "You old boy, no one rushes out from here. It's even more impossible in the slums. Don't you most want to earn a bonus for meritorious service?"

Brie is depressed. Kaidō: "Because there is no one, there are people stationed in every lane. It's just a waste of time to continue patrolling. I haven't been to Terry's house for a long time, so I want to see it."

Another sea soldier said: "Brie, you owe a debt, and you want to take over Ji Terry's family again?"

Brie touched his pocket. There were only a dozen coins in it, not big denominations.

He couldn't help but darken his expression and said, "The old man Terry died in the line of duty, and his pension is only so small. Both children were brought by his wife, and the old mother was seriously ill."

Brie sighed and continued: "His wife is also suffering. Last year, for medical expenses, he sold the house in the town and moved here for a long time. I saw it last month. Alas, widows and orphans. Give it a hand."

The other marines sighed, and there was a moment of silence. Then they touched their pockets one after another. They were both lower-level marines, and they were not very young. They had to earn a dead salary every month, and they had to feed their families. They couldn’t make much money. Less than 30,000 Berry.

Brie did not refuse. After thanking him, he walked to the slum alone.

The infrastructure in the slums is very poor. The roads are not only narrow, but also not hardened. Both sides are covered with simple wooden fences to separate each household. The ground is full of garbage, sewage, and flies and mosquitoes are flying everywhere. This side is good. Going further inside is a gathering place for the homeless. There are no houses to shelter from the wind and rain. They are all shacks.

After a while, Brie stopped outside a simple courtyard. The door was very clean, and the dirt road was sprinkled with water, not as dusty as elsewhere.

He pushed the door in, and there were two children sitting in the yard. The older one was the boy and the younger one was the girl. When they saw Brie, they cheered, jumped up and surrounded Brie, and whispered: "It’s Brie. Uncle, mother, it's Uncle Brie here."

A woman came out of the room, not too old, but wrinkles on her face, apparently due to overwork.

Brie asked the woman how she was doing, greeted a few words at random, and stuffed the money she had collected.

"How can this work! You can no longer ask for your money, Brie, you have to support your own family. I have three jobs now. The children have food. You can get it back soon."

Brie smiled and pushed the woman's hand back: "Sister-in-law, this is the heart of our old brothers from Terry, please accept it."

He saw that the woman was going to refuse again, and he laughed: "Sister-in-law, you don't know, Marine is about to pay a bonus, we caught a fugitive, and everyone has a large income."

The woman hesitated, and finally accepted it, but her eyes were red, "Brie, thank you, I...I..."

Brie looked at the two scrawny children. He felt uncomfortable and didn't want to stay longer. "Sister-in-law, I, I still have a task. I will leave first and come to see you in a few days."

"Hey, eat your meal before..."

The woman was just halfway talking about staying, and suddenly remembered that the family really couldn't bring out anything to greet people, bit her lip in embarrassment, and said to the two children: "You will send Uncle Brie for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman wiped her tears and went into the house.

The older boy chased his mother in. The little girl seemed to understand, but remembered what the mother said, she must send Brie.

After walking for a while, Brie suddenly slapped his forehead and took out a small plastic bag from his arms, which contained colorful candies.

He divided half of them and stuffed them into the hands of the little girl. This is the snack his own children have always wanted to eat, and he just bought some early this morning.

The little girl's eyes lit up. After watching for a long time, she put it in her pocket, leaving only one in her hand. She carefully peeled off the package, brought her head close, and licked the tip of her tongue lightly, "Wow, it's so sweet!"

Brie smiled and said, "It will be sweeter if you hold it in your mouth."

The girl licked again, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face, "You can't put it all in. It can only be sweet for a while, and taste it after a while, so that it will be sweeter for longer."

Brie was at a loss for words, touched the little girl's head with a wry smile, gritted his teeth, took out three of them from the small plastic, and gave the girl all the bags.

The girl cried out in surprise, her small face full of joy, but immediately returned it to Brie, "Mom said, you can't just ask for other people's things."

"Silly boy, Uncle Brie is no one else, take it."

The little girl jumped up happily, "Thank you, uncle, I will take it back to eat with my brother and mother, and grandma."

"Okay, don't give it away, go back."

"That won't work, I know my uncle is kind to us, but I am still young and can't repay you, so let me give you a little longer."

Brie smiled and said that the little girl was really sensible, so he led her to move forward, but in his heart he thought of his three children, with mixed tastes for a time.

Monka couldn't help feeling a little complicated. He was lying on the top of a three-story building on the corner of the street, staring at the dozen or so marines downstairs.

Not long ago, I was still a dignified Colonel of Shelts Town. Unexpectedly, now I was put on a net by Marine, which is really good fortune.

He was at the Barto Club just now and was discussing matters with Gambia. Suddenly someone rushed in in a panic. If Gambia hadn't told him that Marine was coming, Monka would have thought it had been sold by the gang.

Monka did not rush out. He had long discovered that there were other fugitives in the Bartou Club, some of whom were familiar with each other. When he was a colonel, he had seen their photos on the wanted order, and the rewards were not low.

Sure enough, as soon as the news of Marine's arrival spread, there was a riot in the tavern. For the first time, the fugitives couldn't sit still, and they drove away with their little brothers, and they had a fierce battle with the marines shortly after they went out.

Only then did Mengka sneak out, taking advantage of the chaos, temporarily concealing his figure, and when he saw that the gangsters were all driven to the west, he fled in the opposite direction, but he did not expect that there were also many marine patrols here. Find a commanding height to observe.

Monka heard the gunshots and shouts of killing from the west gradually dwindling, and he was a little anxious, although the few thugs were powerful.

However, the Logue town garrison was huge in number and they were all elite. In addition, the two young lieutenant colonels who had been chasing after him were lingering in their shadows. If they wanted to stay for so long, the fugitives were defeated.
