Chapter 28 Black Dog Street
The roads in the city wall are very narrow. When the car is driving, the car will occasionally pass by, but this time it is still too close. A gray pickup truck overtakes from behind and almost hits a black off-road vehicle.
Lorna was smoking a cigarette in her mouth, and immediately pressed the horn of the car and shouted to the pickup truck that had passed by:
"Fuck your asshole, can you drive a car?"
Gu He sat on the passenger seat, while Elizabeth and Angel were sitting in the back row, both of which were a little deafening.
Gu He took Angel to the Red Rain House before. Angel had seen the children, and Elizabeth had been persuaded by Lorna. In fact, she had never been to Lanmutang, so she was not much better than Angel in this regard.
They were sitting in the car, and followed the two security personnel's vehicles in a low profile.
Angel took back her gaze from Lorna, and continued to look at the crowded streets outside the city through the car window.
"Here, everyone lives about the same place as you have a bed," Lorna said, smoking.
Gu He really had no choice. Along the way, Lorna was not very friendly to Angel.
Lorna is not friendly to the rich, and Elizabeth is the only exception. Angel, who is not a blood eater, hasn't let her go, and she hasn't said a few good things. But Gu He has been to the Bone Blood Zone and understands all this.
"Next time we'll take you to the rooftop." Elizabeth said to Angel. "The rooftops of the buildings here are connected to each other, and you can see the bright sunshine."
"I promise that no sunshine is as bright as Lake Eden," Lorna said. "Sunshine is a dog, and it can also choose places."
Angel chewed the gum and couldn't help but smile when she heard this. Lorna was quite interesting.
The convoy was close to the edge of the city and the mud pond. Soon, a pile of garbage piles as tall as buildings came into view. This original natural swamp land accommodated most of the garbage in the city.
Many garbage incineration plants have been operating for a long time, but they are still too busy. The waste gas has polluted the sky here for a long time.
Because Lorna opened the car window, the extremely pungent smell entered the car, and Anqi began to cough.
Elizabeth also felt uncomfortable when she smelled it, but after all, she was an extraordinary person at the junior level of the Three Programmers and could bear it.
"Cough, cough..." Angel is not an extraordinary person, and some physical reactions cannot be controlled. She has lived so much that she has never breathed such air, as if she is really trapped in the depths of mud, and she can't breathe at all.
She couldn't chew the gum anymore, and her young face became ugly, and she said anxiously: "I'm going to vomit, I'm going to vomit..."
Gu He hurriedly found the vomit bag, but couldn't find it for a moment, and looked at the big cup that Zhen brought.
No, of course not, my friend, this is not a good thing to pretend.
Angel was very interested in big cups before, and Big Cup responded to her: "I don't want it!"
"Take it." Lorna picked up a plastic bag containing breakfast from her feet and threw it backwards and put it in the back row, "No need to thank you."
As soon as Anqi hurriedly took it, she vomited out in front of the bag. She vomited so much that she naturally vomited off her chewing gum, and she could not keep the previous rebellious girl.
"This is just an appetizer," Lorna said again, "You'd better get used to it. Don't vomit all your gallbladder later. There is no such place as a hospital in the mud pond."
Soon, the convoy drove into the small broken road between the garbage mountains, and the stench became even stronger, and even Gu He could not help it.
"Ange, hold on." Elizabeth patted her cousin's back, "We should not be like a young lady."
Angel finally stopped vomiting, her face looked ugly, holding a bag full of vomit in her hand, "This..."
"Take it away." Lorna rolled her eyes, "This is a huge trash can. Do you still want to sort it out?"
"Oh..." Anqi looked at the garbage mountain outside, threw the garbage bag out of the car window with a swing.
The garbage bag fell to the ground and the vomit inside splashed everywhere, like this place, with a stain.
"The place I took you to is called Black Dog Street. The muddy guys are not educated and they are the kind that they can't even recognize. They can only give this name, such as Yellow Dog Street, White Dog Street, Grey Dog Street, Black Dog Street, etc."
Lorna said, stepping on the accelerator to speed up the car, "It's not okay to walk here too slowly, you'll be surrounded by muddy guys."
Angel kept looking outside, and the figures of the scavengers appeared in the garbage mountains from time to time. There were scavengers in the most stinky places mixed with vomit, excrement and rotten corpses.
They were dirty, some were wearing tattered clothes, and some were naked in the early season.
They didn't know how long they hadn't taken a shower, and they were scrambling for a little broken thing.
Elizabeth also fell into silence, and pain spread in her heart.
Not enough, not enough, not enough...
"This is mine, I won't give it to you!"
"Get out!"
At this time, the off-road vehicle almost hit a few children who rushed past, fighting for a can dug out from the garbage dump, and there were some leftover meat that was about to rot.
The child who was holding the can was running in panic, digging the remaining meat into the can and stuffing it into his mouth.
Except for Lorna, she was also smoking a cigarette and driving the car leisurely, and the other three people in the car were silent.
The so-called Black Dog Street is a bad street made up of many broken iron sheds, tents, and a few low concrete houses. The walls are full of mottled rust, various mold spots and rot.
In front of these broken sheds and houses were crowded with figures, tattered and tattered, unlike humans, and noisy.
Some prostitutes stood by the street waiting for customers, dressed up in a mess with cosmetics and garbage. Many girls who are as old as Angel and even younger than her are also attracted customers.
Some girls are holding a hungry doll or a half-old child in their hands.
"Most of them are made big by freighters," Lorna said with a squinted eye. "Some freighters will feed them some drugs and ruin their brains. You see, the ones they hold in their hands are the future garbage tribes. Do the garbage tribes know that they are quite famous in the wilderness."
At this time, those people had seen several good cars passing by and rushed to surround them.
There were small vendors selling junk crafts, prostitutes clamoring for prices, and gangs of children begging for food and change.
"Look, this comb is a treasure. It was used by the bank lady. I'll give you some cheap things!"
"One hundred yuan, one day, let you play!"
"Please, kind-hearted person, give me some money!"
Lorna threw a stack of change out of the car window and threw a few packs of cigarettes. The crowd burst into cheerful shouts, as if picking up the money and cigarettes on the ground in a carnival, and the car was able to pass.
"See it. In Liuguang City, life is the least valuable." Lorna said.
Elizabeth looked at these scenes with tears in her eyes, but she knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg and she did too little.
While she was sad, she also felt that Angel's power of swearing together was constantly becoming stronger.
"Lorna..." Angel wanted to say something, but couldn't say it. She wanted to ask questions, but she didn't know what she wanted to ask.
"You guys, just watch it." Lorna sneered, "No need to talk nonsense, see what's going on."
Angel felt very uncomfortable. She took a deep breath to relieve it, but she was only more uncomfortable by the stench.
"She is sixteen, but she feels she is dying." It's so boring and childish...
There are also bars on Black Dog Street, which is the best-built place on the street. Freighters who came to have fun came to hug the young girls, both the clients and the prostitutes were dirty and smelly.
From time to time, alcoholics were thrown out of the bar, even their clothes were paid for by the alcohol, and they seemed to be dead when they were sleeping on the roadside.
If an alcoholic is really dead, he will be dragged away by someone to a farther swamp and garbage dump and sank and thrown into it.
Next to the bar, there were people lined up in a long line, and some middle-aged men dressed in neat clothes were choosing something.
"Oh, those are the agents of the perverted and rich guys."
Lorna glanced at him and explained to the two unknown Sterlings: "They are tired of playing high-end goods, so they play low-end goods. As for what they are going to pick people, I don't know. Maybe you can tell me."
Angel's face was pale, not sure how much it was because of the stench, and how much it was because of the confusion in her heart.
Gu He let out a light breath, of course these scenes cannot be seen on Shouhui Street, and they cannot even be seen in the Voodoo Zone.
However, this place is not gloomy. People here also have their fun. There are wrestling arenas on the street, and vendors pushing carts to sell absolutely unhygienic snacks. Adults and children laugh, scold, quarrel, and fight.
These people have long been used to living in such a muddy pond.
For those who have never been to Lake Eden, the central area, the garden area or even Kabukicho, they don’t know or imagine how they can live, and the children think that this is the world.
"Angie, you are in heaven, we are in the mud pond." Lorna smiled and said, "It's the difference between a man and a dog."
"Lorna, Sister Liz..." Angel couldn't say anything, and seemed to be restless in the seat.
Gu He noticed that Angel was at a critical point, and Lorna was not good at speaking good things, and Elizabeth herself was in a trance again.
He also felt something and said it: "Anqi, these muddy street dogs are disgusting. They are vulgar, dirty, inferior, and maybe even fierce, vicious, pitiful and hateful, like garbage, worse than garbage."
"But, who caused them like this?" he asked.
Angel fell silent again, looking at the dilapidated streets outside the car and the garbage-like crowds.
She was still wearing a stylish and beautiful garden outfit, and she was still sixteen-year-old Miss Seth Angel Sterling, but in her heart, something had changed her forever.
