In the Hunter's World, there are six continents, ten districts, five major countries, and many authoritarian small countries, and no matter where, the existence of slums is normal.
The disparity between rich and poor is separated by a wall, a barbed wire fence, and even a border line.
To the people of the slums, whether it was the Wall of Shame that drew the dividing line, the Net of Despair that stood before their eyes, or even the white line that was just a step away, they were all places that they couldn't cross.
Law followed Sambika to the outside of the slum and saw a group of people in white protective clothing burning the bodies on the spot with high-temperature flame guns.
A pungent and unpleasant smell floated from afar, and black smoke as black as ink rushed into the sky like giant pythons.
This is a city, but it is divided by a border, separating the brightness from the darkness, life from death.
Soldiers with guns stood in front of the border with indifferent expressions, forming an obstacle that is difficult for the poor to cross.
The bodies piled up into a hill can only stay in the line until they die, and then quietly wait for the flame that symbolizes' purification 'to come.
There are a lot of people who died, and there are still a lot of people who are not dead yet.
On one side are the burned dead people, on the other side are the living people who are staring at the bodies in a daze. In the distance, there is a low building complex, and there are more people struggling inside.
The group of living people were not clothed, and they were emaciated. Their faces were filled with despair, and their spirits looked particularly gloomy. They could only sit on the ground powerlessly.
Among the crowd, there are a few people who are obviously dressed differently, but their spirits are also very poor, their cheeks are sunken, and they look severely malnourished.
When Law and Sambika approached, soldiers immediately came to drive them away, and when Sambika showed his hunter's license, the soldier's tough attitude immediately softened.
After Sambika said his intention, the soldier took the two to a tent.
The pot-bellied officer sat in a chair, and not far from him stood two men in white coats, a middle-aged man and an old man with white hair.
"You want to go in?" The officer looked at Sambika and said indifferently.
The two men in white seemed to be doctors, and they were surprised to hear the words.
"Yes," Sambika said.
The officer smiled coldly and said coldly: "Don't say I didn't remind you. Not long ago, a total of forty-seven volunteers went into that broken place. Now thirty people have died, and the remaining seventeen people are crying to come back."
"But unfortunately, they can't come back. They can only wait for death there."
"Do you know the reason?"
Hearing the officer's cold words, the two doctors sighed silently. Their brows furrowed, and they had a worried look on their faces.
"I know." Sambika said calmly: "Because of the unknown infectious virus makes you helpless."
There was a hint of mockery in the sound that sounded like a wind chime.
The military officer could hear the sarcasm in Sambica's words, but he did not get angry. He looked at the two doctors from the corner of his eyes and sneered. "Indeed, these doctors are helpless."
With just a few casual words, he was able to shake off all the burdens.
Sambika's eyes were angry. She looked up the relevant information when she came. She didn't know the root of the problem, but she could guess some things.
It's not that the doctors don't want to do their best to solve the problem, but the people in charge of the city don't want to deal with it at all. If it weren't for humanity, the military would have burned the whole slum, simple and thorough.
Of course, there is another reason not to do this, that is, they can take advantage of this matter to get some benefits.
"Just let me in." Sambika took a deep breath and said.
"Oh, it's a piece of cake." The officer said lightly.
They did not ask the Hunters' Association for help, nor were they obligated to provide assistance to the hunters who came spontaneously. If Sambika wanted to go in and die, he had no reason to stop her.
Even if Sambika could help them solve the problem, they would not pay her.
Seeing the officer agree, Sambika signaled with her eyes that Law could go and turned to leave.
"There's something I'm curious about." Law didn't move, but stood in place and looked at the officer.
Sambika stopped and turned to look at Law with a puzzled look.
"Oh?" The officer looked at Law lazily.
Law raised his index finger and said lightly: "Food."
When the officer heard this, his eyes grew cold and he stared at Law without saying a word.
"Your reaction confirmed my guess." Law sighed and said, "Is there really a break in the material support? That is to say, the donations from the outside world were happily swallowed by you. "
The group of living people not far from the border was what drew Law's attention to this.
Before coming here, Sambika talked about the situation in the slum. Out of trust in Sambika, Law was not afraid of the unknown infectious virus. Instead, he considered whether there was anything to eat in such a completely blocked place.
In this regard, Sambika dispelled Law's doubts, that is, the government will provide material assistance on time. However, the reality is cruel.
"Sooner or later, there's no need to waste food." The officer said coldly.
Sambika didn't think so much. She just wanted to go into the slum to help solve the virus. At this time, when she heard the conversation between the two, she understood and immediately looked at the fat officer angrily.
At this time, Law took out a bank card and held it between his index and middle finger. He smiled and said, "There are 100 million rings in this card. Do you want it?"
This card was given to Law by Kenda. It was also the highest-level black card in the bank. There were 100 million rings in it. The officer recognized the black card at a glance and his eyes suddenly showed greed.
"It seems that you want it very much." Law smiled and said lightly: "As long as you can restore the material support after we go in, this 100 million is yours."
The officer opened his eyes and immediately came to his senses. He straightened his upper body and said without hesitation: "Deal."
When Law put forward the terms of the deal, he would agree anyway. He would get the money first, and then it depends on his mood whether he can do it or not.
"Law …" Sambika frowned. She didn't want to compromise with the officer who had no intention of doing anything in this way.
Luo reached out to stop her, then glanced at the two stunned doctors, smiled and said, "sorry, sorry, I forgot that there are two outsiders here. This is bribery on the spot. You don't mind, do you?"
Hearing Law's words, the two doctors suddenly fell into an ice cellar.
The officer glanced coldly at the two doctors who had been scared and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I don't mind."
"That's good."
Law threw the black card on the table in front of the officer.
The fat officer picked up the black card like lightning and looked down at it carefully. After confirming that it was a real card, the greedy color on his face was obvious.
After a while, he looked up at Law and was about to ask for the password and then confirm the funds, but he saw Law standing quietly at the table and looking at him with a smile on his face.
The fat officer was stunned, only to hear Law's smile disappear and said coldly: "I'm just teasing you."
"You …" The fat officer was angry when he heard the words. Suddenly, he saw a heart in the hand of the ungrateful boy. Then, his face changed because there was a needle-like pain in his heart.
Law gently pinched the beating heart and said lightly: "Don't doubt, this is your heart."
He didn't pinch hard because he considered that if the officer cried out because of the pain, it would inevitably attract the soldiers standing guard outside the tent.
Even if the officer called the soldiers, he was not afraid, just afraid of trouble.
One hundred million rings was not a small amount. Before coming to the slums, if it helped Sambika, he didn't mind taking it out and using it.
Now was the time to come in handy, but he would rather burn it than let the fat officer benefit. Moreover … Compared with bribery, threats were more practical.
