Liu Shu and Shi Sheng were on the same boat now, so it seemed like Shi Sheng was the boss. Of course, that was what Liu Shu thought. Shi Sheng had never admitted it.
Now that Division7 was in chaos, Liu Shu didn't dare to open up the dungeon. He gathered with his underlings to discuss.
"I think the mutants are behind this. They want to use this opportunity to attack us."
"If we had the ability to take down their reconnaissance aircraft, we would have kicked them out of the Milky Way long ago."
"What if a fight really breaks out?"
The mutants were so powerful. How could they win?
Liu Shu touched his bald head and glanced at Shi Sheng. She seemed to be listening to their conversation, but at the same time, she seemed to be daydreaming. Liu Shu couldn't understand this young lady. She seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog. After you peeled away the first layer, there were countless more layers.
"Brother Liu, what do you think we should do now?"
Liu Shu came back to his senses and cleared his throat. "At least the city guards don't have time to trouble us now."
Everyone: "…"
The mutants' attack was much scarier than the city guards' attack, Brother Liu!
You shouldn't be comforting yourself like this!
"Alright, whatever will come will come. There's a tall guy in front of us. If anyone dies, they'll die first." Liu Shu made the final decision. "Go back and rest."
The underlings looked at each other for a moment and went back to their rooms.
Liu Shu glanced at Shi Sheng and hesitantly moved his chair over. "Miss Jiang, where did you throw the bodies?"
When they came back, she was already there, but the bodies were gone.
Shi Sheng didn't look up. His tone was casual and calm. "I threw them into the feeding ground."
Liu Shu's eyes widened.
Thrown … thrown into the feeding ground?
Was it the feeding ground he was thinking of?
Liu Shu swallowed hard. "Miss Jiang, you went to the feeding ground alone?"
Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. "I can't summon the Dragon God. If I didn't go by myself, who else could I go with?"
Liu Shu's heart was beating wildly. His palms were sweaty. "The mutants … the disappearance of the mutants, don't tell me it has something to do with you?"
Shi Sheng admitted frankly, "I did it."
Liu Shu's body slid from the chair to the ground. His face was full of shock.
She really did it …
How capable was she?
Shi Sheng raised his head and rubbed his chin with his fingertips. "Let me ask you. Won't they be attacked when they're feeding us?"
Liu Shu had yet to recover from his shock when Shi Sheng kicked him. He looked at Shi Sheng in confusion. "What?"
Shi Sheng was speechless and repeated, "I'm asking, won't they be attacked when they throw food?"
Liu Shu got up from the ground. Her legs were weak, and she barely managed to stand. "There is a fixed feeding time. That Time Xenogeneic won't appear in the feeding field."
Liu Shu paused and asked tentatively, "So, you attacked because you were attacked?"
"Do you think I have nothing better to do?"
Liu Shu: "…" He didn't say anything! 'Why is this little girl always so sarcastic?!'
You'll lose friends like this.
Alright, since he was so awesome, why would he need any friends?
"Will they start a fight?" Shi Sheng asked Liu Shu again.
Liu Shu quickly thought about it. "It shouldn't be a fight. District 7 is considered the central area of the city. The people who live here are people of high status and power. They are either rich or noble. Those people at the top will definitely …"
Liu Shu suddenly paused. His expression changed.
"They will use ordinary people to compensate for the Xenogeneic," Shi Sheng finished his sentence.
It was only May. If District 7's population was used to compensate for the Xenogeneic, there would not be enough in the seventh month. If there wasn't enough, they would draw from every household …
Of course, every household referred to ordinary people like them. Those who were related to the higher-ups wouldn't be drawn.
Because they had power, their lives were in their hands.
Liu Shu fell back into the chair. He wasn't worried about himself. At least he had the ability to protect himself. But those people outside …
"Are you softening your heart?"
A girl's light voice rang in his ears. He couldn't tell if it was sarcasm or disdain. Anyway, it sounded malicious. Every word was like a sharp thorn that pierced deeply into his heart.
Shi Sheng pursed his lips and said calmly, "You can't even live well. What right do you have to soften your heart? You should live a decent life first."
Liu Shu suddenly shouted, "I'm living a good life!"
After shouting, Liu Shu realized that he had lost his composure. He muttered, "I'm living a good life."
"Is that so?" Shi Sheng ignored his sudden outburst. "If you really think you're living a good life in this dark underground city, I have nothing to say."
Shi Sheng stood up and knocked on the chair with his fingertips. "If you're just dreaming but don't take a step forward, then you're just daydreaming."
Liu Shu's emotions were a bit out of control. He stared at Shi Sheng like a disgruntled youth. "This is how the world works. I'm not you. I'm not as strong as you. I've already done my best to survive."
Dreams and whatnot were just dreams when he was young.
Only when he grew up did he realize that reality was life.
She was powerful and could blow up a building. Killing people was a piece of cake for her. She didn't even care about mutants.
But he was different. He was just an ordinary person.
What could he do?
Shi Sheng shrugged. He didn't say anything else and went back to his room.
Liu Shu stared at the door for a long time. He suddenly pounced on the door and knocked.
"Tell me, how can I live a better life?" He wanted to become stronger. He didn't want to rot here.
The voice from inside the room penetrated the door. It sounded a little dull, but it was still malicious. "I can't help you. If you want to live a better life, you have to rely on yourself."
Liu Shu stopped knocking on the door, and the bulging veins on his face slowly receded. She would always make you feel hot, and then pour a basin of cold water on you, drenching your hot blood with cold water.
Anyone would think that this woman was despicable and deserved a beating.
But she was powerful.
She deserved it.
…
When Liu Shu woke up the next day, he found that Shi Sheng had already left. There were a few gold bars on the table. There was a note under the gold bars.
— Room fee. Keep the change.
There was no currency at the edge of the city. It had already returned to the most primitive barter. But gold bars …
Were useful.
Gold bars could not only be used to bribe the higher-ups to get a good position, but they could also be used to bribe the people guarding the border. Although they couldn't leave, they could get a lot of things from them.
Even weapons could be used …
The people who established the order found a gold mine. They brought people to excavate it and traded weapons with the people guarding the border. That was how the current political system was formed.
Liu Shu held the gold bars and trembled slightly. The cold gold bars were burning hot.
