Shi Sheng learned from their discussion that the building was just an ordinary building from the outside. They had no idea what was going on inside.
In Jiang Tan's memory, the lab she used to work in was underground. After the xenogeneics attacked, she ran out, and the lab was probably destroyed.
These people were probably just looking for a temporary place. If they planned to rebuild the lab underground …
Shi Sheng looked at the big hole. It was at least ten meters deep. Even if they dug even deeper, the explosion above would still cause them to collapse.
"The city guards are here!" Someone shouted in the crowd. There was a commotion in the crowd. Most of the people started to step back, as if they were afraid of those people.
In the crowd, a car stopped. A few men and women in uniforms got out of the car.
The city guards were formed after the order at the edge of the city was established. They said they were there to protect the people, but in fact, they were there to pick out the useless or disabled people and send them to the xenogeneics feeding ground.
Yes, to prevent the xenogeneics from killing people, the city guards would feed the xenogeneics every month.
Just like the people at the edge of the city, they fed the xenogeneics as food.
Once the xenogeneics appeared among the humans, the city guards would hunt them down.
Anyway, to sum it up, the city guards were not good people. Normal citizens were quite afraid of these people. Whether they lived or died was in the hands of these people.
The edge of the city was a large hunting ground. The xenogeneics were the hunters, and the humans were the prey.
After a long time, some of the prey did not want to be the prey anymore. They started to think about how they could not be the prey. So, the prey evolved into hounds, and the hounds started to build their own circles.
The weakest among the humans became the prey of the hunters and hounds.
The strong were respected, and the weak were inferior.
The fittest lived, and the fallen died.
In this world, the ones who made the rules were the strong. The city guards were the fittest, and the people who depended on the strong were the weak. The people who were fed to the xenogeneics were the fallen. They had lost their faith and hope to live. They could only wait for death.
Not everyone could turn from a fallen one into a protagonist or a villain.
Most people's thoughts went with the flow. If one person was desperate, many others would be desperate, and everyone would fall into the abyss of despair. Even if someone was willing to help them, they wouldn't believe it.
The city guards investigated the scene, but they couldn't figure out what was going on, so they reported it to their superiors.
Soon, someone cleared the area, and no one was allowed to get close.
There was a secret hidden in that building. Of course, these people wouldn't let ordinary prey know about it.
Shi Sheng left along the street. When the original owner was sent to the laboratory, she was twelve years old. Now, five years had passed, but her impression of the city had not changed much.
It was still so … dilapidated and old.
Many of these buildings were built hundreds of years ago. It was a miracle that they hadn't collapsed.
There was a shortage of resources at the edge of the city. All the places that could grow food had been planted with food.
Bang!
"You little bastard, stop right there!"
A dark-skinned child darted out of the door beside him and ran past Shi Sheng like a loach. A man ran out of the door and hit the back of the child's head with a stone.
The child fell to the ground. Blood flowed out from the back of his head, covering the ground in blood.
The man walked to the child and dragged him through the door. "How dare you run? If you don't go, do you want me and your mother to go? We gave birth to you to go. If you dare run again, we'll break your legs! "
The child opened his eyes and looked at Shi Sheng in despair.
Shi Sheng lowered his eyes and continued walking.
People who could give birth here had a higher chance of survival because they could give birth to children.
The edge of the city was divided into twelve districts. Each district was responsible for feeding people for one month. No one would be caught and fed for the other eleven months.
One year was enough to give birth to a child.
When the child was around ten years old, he could be fed as food.
Many of the women here died in an endless cycle of pregnancy, childbirth, pregnancy, childbirth, and so on.
The population at the edge of the city was not small. The old people, the sick, and the sinners from all over the world were sent here. With generations of reproduction, the population here was at least sixty to eighty million, or even more.
It was not that many people. Think about the billions of people outside over the past hundred years. It was not that many people.
If a district accepted a large number of people from the outside world, the original resident quota could be replaced by people from the outside world.
At first, it was a fair number. Later, naturally, there was a situation where the border was bribed to distribute the population. People from the outside world were not evenly distributed to each district. Therefore, there were obvious differences between the districts.
The district she was in now was the seventh district. The person in charge was in this district, so it was considered relatively peaceful.
Only a small number of people were born every year.
It was also very common for people to give birth to children to replace them. It did not matter if the child was an adult or a child. As long as the child could breathe, it was fine.
Shi Sheng found a place to change out of his dirty clothes. However, there was no water, so he could only continue with his messy hair.
…
There was almost no night at the edge of the city. Even if it was dark, the base light above could illuminate the edge of the city as if it was daytime.
The people here lived a boring life. They either worked according to the district or gave birth to children at home.
However, people always found joy in pain.
There was an underground street in the seventh district.
The seventh district was a city. This underground street used to be an underground shopping street. Among the first group of people who came in, a group of people occupied this street. At first, it was to avoid being hunted by mutants. Later, it was gradually developed into a black market.
There was a casino, a bar, and even a KTV. However, the equipment was old. When one shouted, the people next to them could hear it. There were also all kinds of strange buzzing sounds.
At this time, in a dark room, a few men were kneeling or lying on the ground. In front of them sat a girl.
The girl's face was slightly pale. Her hair was tied into a ponytail.
She was wearing a simple casual outfit. She sat with her legs crossed like a loafer.
This girl suddenly attacked them, but they could not do anything to her.
"What do you want, my lady?" asked a bald man carefully.
The girl shook her legs. "You don't mind if I stay here for a while, right?"
The men were stunned.
The bald man reacted the fastest. "You stay. You can stay as long as you want."
They could not beat her. What could they do if they did not let her stay?
