It didn't take long for the gunfire in the building to stop completely. After a while, Chen Mo, who had been quietly floating in the air, finally moved.
He slowly descended to the sixth floor, identified one of the rooms, and quietly flew in through a broken window.
In the building, all the emotional criminals had been eliminated. The next step was to search the entire building, find the prohibited items hidden by them, and destroy them all.
All the soldiers spread out in the building and began a comprehensive search. However, there were only about thirty of them, and several of them were sacrificed during the exchange of fire with the enemy. They were scattered throughout the building, and there were only two or three people on each floor.
A tall soldier had just finished searching a room and found nothing, so he went out and turned into another room.
All the enemies had been eliminated, and the places where people could hide had been searched when they pushed in. Some of the people who were hiding were also killed, so he wasn't worried that there would be more enemies. He directly pushed the door open and entered the room.
After he entered, the door that was pushed open by him slowly closed with an ear-piercing creak.
...
Half an hour later, the entire building was searched. The prohibited items hidden were also found, and all of them were burned to ashes.
The emotional criminals were all eliminated, and the contraband goods were all burned and destroyed. Since the mission had been completed, the two priests took the lead and left in the car. The remaining soldiers quickly boarded the armored vehicles after dealing with the corpses, turned around and drove in the direction they came from.
However, no one knew that the tall figure sitting in one of the armored vehicles had changed into another person!
...
In fact, these people who were eliminated by the army and the priests were also emotional criminals, but they were not members of the resistance organization.
These groups of people who hid outside the city and had a large number of weapons, oil paintings, books, records, and other prohibited items were actually a group of desperadoes who relied on selling prohibited items to make a profit!
They collected these prohibited items from the ruins of Nisus and sold them to the emotional criminals in the city at a high price.
Although the Church enforced high-handed rule in the city and classified feelings as a crime, many people still secretly stopped using "Bossian" and secretly had feelings.
However, under the Church's purge, everything in the city was like a program, cold, monotonous, and boring. There was no entertainment, no music, no books, no movies, no games, no art, no emotions, no beauty, and no love.
After being injected with Poseidon, those who had no feelings would feel depressed, but those who had feelings would feel extremely depressed in such an environment.
Under such circumstances, although these people who had feelings usually pretended to be cold and numb like others, when they returned home, their hearts were incomparably empty. They longed to be able to obtain these things that were originally very common but were now strictly forbidden.
As the saying goes, the more you can't get something, the more you want it.
A book, a photo, or a small ornament were all priceless treasures in their eyes. They could look at them over and over again countless times. These things could make them feel good. They could feel their heartbeat. They could feel happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. They could feel that they were still alive!
They were willing to risk being burned to death if they were discovered, but Libya City had long since been cleaned up by the church. Even if someone had some hidden in their house, they would absolutely not dare to tell anyone.
Even if they were willing to pay a high price, no one would dare to sell it to them.
However, if there was a demand, there would naturally be a supply, but these people were not in the city.
At this point, it was necessary to talk about the situation in the Nisus District.
The core of Libya was the city within the giant wall. Everything inside was firmly controlled by the Church. All the residents in the city were citizens of Libya. They had to receive "Bossian" regularly and be injected on time, accepting the Church's high-handed dictatorship. At the same time, as long as they obeyed the Church's laws, obediently abandoned their feelings, and became walking corpses, they could safely live in the city without having to worry about survival.
However, it was different outside the city.
The vast ruins of the city outside the giant wall was called Nisus. It was the abandoned land of Libya. Although it was under their rule, it was more like an abandoned slum. Apart from the few areas near the wall that were patrolled by patrols, no one cared about the areas further away.
In fact, the area of Nisus was very shocking. The city that had suffered great destruction in the war and was reduced to ruins was originally a very developed giant modern city before the war. The total area was much larger than the capital in the real world. It used to be a forest of tall buildings, factories, and residences.
Although most of it had been destroyed in the war, there were still many relatively intact buildings that were fortunately preserved. They were not completely in ruins, such as the factory Chen Mo first lived in and the building where the emotional criminals were hiding. Although they were broken, they were still intact.
In the middle of the ruins of the giant city, the core of Libya was now protected by a giant wall. In fact, it only occupied a very small area of the ruins.
It was much smaller than any of the twelve districts of Nisus. With Libya's current manpower, material resources, and limited resources, they did not have the ability or the need to control, manage, and build the whole of Nisus.
At the beginning of the country's founding, after plundering all the resources, equipment, and supplies in Nisus, the church abandoned the huge ruins along with the survivors living on it.
That's right, Nisus wasn't completely silent. There were some scattered survivors living in the ruins of the city, but they weren't citizens of Libya. They were just poor people who had been abandoned by their families.
There were not many of them, and they were scattered across the vast area. It was difficult to meet them.
Some of them were alone, some were in groups of three to five, and some were with their families. They looked for a place to hide in the ruins, relying on planting, trapping, hunting, and searching the ruins to survive.
In order to avoid the patrols and the troops that entered Nisus from time to time to carry out missions, they usually lived far away from the wall, even in the outermost area of the ruins.
