Every time Xue Yun took a step, he would inadvertently break the gravel and tiles on the ground, emitting a series of strange sounds.
Most of these things are scraps used to build city walls. They were discarded and incompletely crushed before being used to pave the streets of slums.
Many broken tiles have sharp edges and corners, as sharp as the edge of a knife.
Most of the children in the slums are not fully clothed and do not even have a complete pair of shoes. Living in this environment, it is common to get cuts on the soles of their feet.
"Is this wretched place really a place for people to live?"
He looked around with disgust on his face.
Wang Defa couldn't help but complain: "On the prairie, the sheepfolds of those herdsmen are much neater than here..."
"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it."
There was a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth.
Ivanov followed the two of them, shook his head and sighed: "No matter where you are, the social system of class differentiation is not new at all. After all, there are only so many resources. If they are distributed equally, it is simply impossible.
arrive."
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland era, the shrinking living space is completely out of proportion to the multiple increases in population.
Human civilization needs a labor force at the bottom, but it cannot reliably support this labor force.
The gradual widening of the gap between rich and poor has given rise to this abnormal social phenomenon.
As Big Ivan said, places like Longdu slums abound in every corner of the world, and there is absolutely no way to change this fact.
"Walk faster, we're just ahead..."
After looking at the address on the envelope in his hand, Xue Yun was in no mood to wander around in this familiar environment, and the two of them couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Go around the dark alleys.
The three of them came to the end of the row of shacks, where a dilapidated cabin happened to stand.
"That girl, live here?!" Wang Defa said with a look of astonishment on his face.
After confirming the address on the envelope, Xue Yun nodded and then fell into silence.
He clearly remembered that after returning to Longdu, he placed Zuo Xiaochu in a hotel temporarily and left a sum of money for him before leaving.
Unexpectedly, it only took two years.
This girl has actually fallen to this miserable state.
The wooden house in front of me is inferior to the row of shacks just now.
The scattered wooden wall panels are full of wormholes, and the ceiling is made of a pile of sparse weeds. The whole thing already looks shaky.
Fortunately, it was built in the corner area.
Otherwise, it only takes a strong wind to uproot it easily.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Narrowed his eyes.
Xue Yun took the two problem children and walked straight towards the dilapidated wooden house.
Suddenly, messy footsteps suddenly sounded from all directions in the alley.
A large group of burly men suddenly jumped over the messy wooden wall, like locusts crossing the border, and took the lead to surround the dilapidated wooden house.
"You bitch, the half-month deadline has expired!"
A big man in leather clothes came to the thin wooden door, crossed his arms and said with a lewd smile: "The money owed to us, including principal and interest, totals 170,000 Daxia coins. It's time to settle the account."
Got it!"
Frowning slightly.
From a distance, Xue Yun could clearly see the faces of this group of people. They were just like Dao Scarqiang, a group of local snakes who made a living by lending money in the slums.
"Don't, don't come over..."
Inside the wooden house, a weak voice came out leisurely, with a tone full of fear and uneasiness.
"Please, please give me a little more time, I promise I will get the money together!"
Faced with the hoarse cries for mercy from inside the wooden house.
A group of local snakes looked at each other and smiled ferociously. The strong man at the head grinned and shook his head: "It's just you, even if I give you another hundred years, it's impossible to pay off this debt!"
"Don't say it, brothers won't give you a way to survive..."
Raised an eyebrow.
The leader of the strong man smiled evilly and said: "Why don't you come with us? Someone will naturally take you to Fengdu. As long as you work there for three to five years, you will not only be able to pay off the debt, but you may also be able to make a fortune."
Quite a bit, it’s better than going hungry here every day..."
Fengdu, Daxia, is known as the city that never sleeps.
There is a mixture of fish and dragons, and various entertainment venues for people's entertainment are endless.
It is self-evident what kind of job the girls who are sold there will do.
"No, I don't want..."
Zuo Xiaochu in the room could not speak clearly and roared hysterically: "I can never leave here, otherwise I will be taken away... Please, don't force me anymore!"
"Smelly bitch, if you don't eat the toast, you'll be fined with wine!"
Through the thin wooden door, all the local snakes have lost their patience.
The strong man at the head became angry and said: "It is only natural to pay back debts. Since you can't pay, you can only pay with flesh. I advise you to be obedient. Otherwise, don't blame us brothers for being rude to you."
!”
The words just fell.
A group of local snakes had already surrounded the wooden house, with lewd smiles on their faces, and they were obviously ready to break in.
"No...don't come..."
The voices in the wooden house were full of panic.
Burst after burst of red light appeared intermittently in the dilapidated house.
"Please, don't come any closer, I'm about to lose my ability to suppress it completely... I really don't want to hurt you..."
A strange heat wave suddenly spread from the wooden house.
Startled slightly.
Xue Yun and the two problem children behind him couldn't help but froze on the spot.
The oncoming heat wave clearly contained an extremely terrifying biological force field.
"Huh, pretending to be a ghost!"
A bunch of local snakes are just ordinary people.
Although they were also slightly surprised, in their eyes, Zuo Xiaochu was nothing more than a down-and-out weak woman and not something to be afraid of at all.
They do things like forcing girls into prostitution almost every day, so how could they be frightened by an inexplicable evil wind?!
"Brothers, give this bitch some color!"
The tiger's body trembled.
The strong man in the lead waved his arms and commanded: "Come on, tie her up and take her away!"
Bang~~
The strong man in the lead did not hesitate and kicked the fragile wooden door away with one kick.
Rumble~~~
Accompanied by a deafening roar.
The scorching red flames soared into the sky and completely engulfed the wooden house in front of them.
next moment--
A violent explosion erupted, and the horrifying aftermath shook the surrounding local snakes away far away. When they fell to the ground, many people had turned into pitch-black charred corpses.
boom--
A strange red light fleetingly flew out from the blazing flames.
The leader of the big man didn't expect it. He easily grabbed his neck and pressed it hard to the ground covered with rubble and tiles.
"Weird...freak?!"
I was already frightened out of my wits.
The big man couldn't struggle at all. His face widened in horror and his eyes widened, while his whole body started to tremble.
"I, I said...I don't want to hurt you..."
A line of tears like lava streaked down his cheeks.
The Zuo Xiaochu in front of him looked extremely panicked. His graceful figure was mostly naked, but his skin was covered with red feathers, and his arms were spread out in the air like wings.
Her feet had already turned into a pair of sharp claws, trampling hard on the big man's body.
At first glance.
Like a huge flamingo hunting, it gives people the illusion of suffocation.
"Why......"
Wings fluttering like flames.
Zuo Xiaochu burst into tears and said, "Why do you have to force me?!"
