"Pull your hood down," Red whispered to Lin Jie as she put away her machete.
As she wished, Lin Jie raised his hand to pull his hood down. At the same time, he raised his eyes to look at the entire greenhouse community.
The conditions here were even more unpleasant than when Lin Jie first saw the place.
If there were many small rooms that were dug out from the wall and filled with cement like a beehive, there were only some tents made of plastic tarps here.
There was also a very strong smell of corpses.
Lin Jie frowned slightly. Then, he heard Red ask behind him, "How long have you been in Downtown?"
Lin Jie immediately answered obediently, "According to Nuo Jin's time, only five hours."
After hearing this, Red suddenly smiled and asked, "Hurry up and take out all the food you have on you!"
After hearing this, Lin Jie immediately raised his hands to show his empty hands and said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't think of it when I came here."
"Liar!" Red widened her round eyes. Her beastly pupils did not pose much of a threat on her face.
"I really don't have any," Lin Jie said in distress. The first website was m.9biquge. com
Red frowned and was a little angry. It was not easy to rob someone from the Upper Zone, but he did not even have any food.
Seeing that he did not look like he was lying, she muttered angrily, "I heard that the people in Uptown hate each other. They often set each other up and rob others … This guy looks like he's in a daze. Could it be that he was robbed by his companions?"
Lin Jie looked at Red with some amusement.
"Then you probably haven't eaten for a long time, right?" After muttering, Red asked hesitantly.
Lin Jie nodded solemnly without hesitation.
"Also, I can eat a lot," Lin Jie said seriously, "If I don't eat in an hour, there's a high probability that I'll die.
"Die?!" Red's eyes widened. She looked a little scared.
"My grandmother went to exchange for food. If everything goes well, she'll be back tonight." Red pushed Lin Jie and let him into the small room. There were two beds and a cabinet in the small room.
"When the time comes, I can share some with you. But remember, I'm only doing this so that you won't starve to death."
Inside the small shed, one could knock over a bunch of things just by turning around. The floor was muddy, and there were only two tree poles inserted into the ground to support the waterproof felt. There was also a strong rancid and pungent smell of feces and urine.
Lin Jie glanced at the wooden bed. The sheets were stained black and clumped together. A layer of gravel lay quietly at the bottom of the glass at the head of the bed.
Lin Jie sat on the bed and looked at Red carefully.
She had a red, round face and a short, tentacle-like chin. She was different from the others. The tentacles on her chin often spun around excitedly.
"Are you looking at me?" Red opened her eyes wide and said embarrassedly.
Although Lin Jie had an ordinary appearance, she was the standard beauty of the Lower City District. She had an appearance that was not tainted by the gray fog.
Being stared at by such a noble appearance, Red felt a little embarrassed.
"That's strange. Why are you red?" Lin Jie asked curiously. "I think most people are green."
"Hmph." Red raised her head proudly and said, "Because I was born near a red crystal mine. My mother ate a lot of red crystal mines before giving birth to me. That's why I'm red. And that's why my name is Red."
Lin Jie nodded and continued to ask, "What about your parents?"
Red paused for a moment and said, "My father died when the tunnel collapsed. My mother ate too many crystals and passed away. My grandparents and grandpa all turned into the gray fog. My grandmother and I lived … Hey! Don't try to trick me. You're the prisoner! "
Turning into the gray fog was a synonym for death in the Lower City District. The people in the Lower City District believed that they were born in the gray fog and were born with evil. They would also die in the gray fog.
This was the result of brainwashing by the rulers of the Upper City District.
The animals in the Lower City District were demons like the gray fog. They were destined to live in hell, be enslaved and imprisoned.
The scary thing was that most of the people in the Lower City District accepted this view.
Lin Jie ignored her grumbling face and continued to speak with a smile.
"Why are you mining here? Logically speaking, you're very strong under the influence of the gray fog. You might as well break through the surface and rush out."
Lin Jie said this as if it was a matter of course. But after Red understood his words, she immediately widened her round eyes and reprimanded him loudly.
"Ah! How can there be someone like you? Shut up. The Witch of the Tree will hear you. "
Lin Jie was speechless. The Witch of the Tree is now my best friend, Silver. Do you think she can hear you?
"Knock knock!"
Someone suddenly knocked on the tree stump in front of the door.
Coupled with Lin Jie's "arrogant words", Red almost sat up in shock. Witch of the Tree, did you hear me?
"Red!" A majestic male voice shouted from outside the door.
Red nervously walked to the door and lifted the curtain. A tall man in a black robe looked down at Red with his chest puffed out. His tentacles were slightly raised. He seemed to be an upper-class person in the Lower City District.
"Your grandmother was trampled to death when she was collecting food. From this month onwards, you need to provide four precious ores in exchange for food." After saying this, the man in the black robe didn't even look at Red. He directly walked to the next house.
This shack wasn't even a house. Lin Jie clearly heard the sound at the door and fell into deep thought.
Red seemed to have heard something unbelievable. Without waiting for the man to go far, she rushed up and planted herself on the man's thigh like a mushroom. Her eyes were filled with despair as she cried, "My Lord, you must be mistaken! How could my grandmother die? "
The man didn't even want to explain. He kicked Red into the mud pit. Her body was covered in mud. Red felt a pain as if her ribs were broken after being kicked by this big man.
The man said to her, "Your grandmother is almost forty years old. She deserves to die. Few people can live that long. You've earned a lot."
"And …" The man turned his head and looked at Red. He sneered, "You're nine years old, right? … You're already an adult, but you still have to report the child's share and ask your grandmother to collect food. It's such a dangerous thing. "
"Isn't it normal to die?"
"No, no!" Red's mouth was full of mud. Her whole body was covered in a layer of mud. She cried loudly and said, "My grandmother said I'm still a child. She told me not to become an adult!"
"Red, don't become an adult!" Red shouted and cried.
The manager ignored Red and left her to cry alone in the mud. Lin Jie finally walked out of the tent and looked at Red in the mud with an expressionless face. Water seeped out from the top, covering her body in mud.
Lin Jie stood beside her. He waited until she fainted in the mud. Then he picked her up by one arm and threw her back into the tent.
