Chapter 117 Southern Suburbs of Rongcheng

The southern suburbs, the most desolate place in Rongcheng, are either cemeteries like the Martyrs' Cemetery, or "unlucky" places like crematoria and slums that ordinary citizens basically don't visit.

The city defense army garrison responsible for the Rongcheng area was naturally established in this seemingly chaotic, but actually very safe place.

Driving along the way, I could see dilapidated houses, homeless people begging along the streets, and even some motionless corpses lying next to the trash cans. I don't know how long they had been dead.

Xu Nian looked at this scene through the car window, his face unusually heavy. Even Zuo Qiuyue said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

I don't know how long it took, but Zuo Qiuyue suddenly said softly: "Do you think this place is like hell?"

Xu Nian frowned and asked, "Isn't it?"

Zuo Qiuyue sighed softly: "You think those rich and powerful people are lavishing food and fish every day, while the residents here can't even have a full meal, right?"

Xu Nian was silent for a while and said in a low voice: "What do you want to say?"

“What I want to say is,” Zuo Qiuyue paused and said with complicated eyes, “But it’s those rich and powerful people you hate. They pay special military expenses to the city defense army every month and maintain the entire human race. The last resting place.”

Xu Nian's eyes darkened and he said coldly: "So, can we just ignore the people here and let them fend for themselves?"

"Do you think the higher-ups are willing to do this?" Zuo Qiuyue smiled bitterly, "Since the city wall was built, the most powerful person within the city wall is not the glorious goddess who was enshrined on the altar, but the one who rules the stable development of the entire city wall. They have money, resources, and connections, and control the right to speak in various fields within the city wall. As long as they are willing, everything in the city wall can be reduced to nothing at any time, and millions of human beings will sink again. hell."

Xu Nian understood what Zuo Qiuyue meant and said angrily: "Isn't this the goddess of glory? Isn't she the most powerful human being? With her absolute force."

"What can absolute force do?"

Zuo Qiuyue suddenly stopped the car and looked back at Xu Niandao: "Kill all these people? Or rob the rich and give to the poor, and confiscate the property of these upper-class guys and distribute it to these people who don't have enough to eat?"

Xu Nian was choked and couldn't speak.

But he still gritted his teeth and said: "These people are already very rich. As long as they give out a little, yes, just a little, these poor people will not be able to do anything."

As he said that, he looked out the car window at a homeless man carrying a broken bowl and cautiously approaching their car. He looked like he wanted to knock on the car window, but was too afraid to get close. He couldn't help but clenched his fists angrily.

"Who said they are inseparable?"

Zuo Qiuyue's eyes were even more complicated: "You should know that today's city wall is, to put it bluntly, a place similar to a birdcage. There is only internal trade and no foreign trade. There is only so much money and the cake is so big. These guys who are at the top We have paid special military expenses on time, paid high taxes on the rich on time, and even some of the top richest people have jointly taken charge of all the expenses of Robin City and part of the funds of our courtyard and even the Sonorous Rose Legion. Do you think, you If you force them again, what will they do?”

Xu Nian was speechless.

He knows the principle of fishing with all his strength.

To put it bluntly, these high-ranking guys are willing to shed so much blood because they have to rely on the force of the Goddess of Glory and her army, and even the Sunset Mental Hospital. Otherwise, letting them bleed will probably kill them.

Zuo Qiuyue sighed: "We have no choice. These guys were basically at the top of the human race before the disaster. Without their support, what would happen even if the goddess kills all the top?"

"The dragon-slaying warrior eventually becomes a dragon. The old dragon falls, and the new dragon rises again. Everything is due to human nature."

"So, even the great goddess of glory has to succumb to human nature and compromise with them."

With that said, Zuo Qiuyue opened the door and got out of the car, took out some instant noodles, fruits, mineral water and other substances from the trunk and placed them on the street, and then got back in the car.

The homeless people and beggars who gathered nearby immediately swarmed up, and some people watching in the distance also ran towards this side.

Soon, what was supposed to be a harmonious scene of sharing food turned into an all-out martial arts scene.

Everyone is fighting, everyone is fighting for even a meager bag of instant noodles.

Xu Nian watched this scene with his whole body trembling, his nails digging into his flesh without even noticing.

Zuo Qiuyue sighed while driving the car: "See? These are the poor people you want to help. For a little food, they can break the bottom line of being human without hesitation. Obviously they can share it equally. But they still started killing each other out of selfish motives.”

"So, essentially, they're no different than the guys at the top."

Xu Nian seemed to understand something, and suddenly looked at Zuo Qiuyue who was driving and said, "Is this what the eldest lady asked you to tell me?"

Zuo Qiuyue shook her head: "No, I just want to tell you that each of us pioneers can understand that the values ​​​​of the eldest lady are right, even though it is covered with blood."

Xu Nian remained silent.

Looking back at the people who were still fighting frantically, he said: "Even if this is the case, isn't there a solution?"

"have!"

Zuoqiuyue's voice suddenly became high-pitched, with an indescribable enthusiasm in his tone: "This is the fundamental reason why we are absolutely loyal to the Goddess of Glory."

"The Goddess said that the only way to solve this problem is to exterminate all alienated creatures and deformed monsters on the earth at all costs, regain control of our human home, and restore human order. Only in this way can humans begin to develop, so that this situation will never happen again among humans."

Xu Nian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "But even so, these people at the bottom are still at the bottom."

"That's better than not having enough food to eat now, right?" Zuoqiuyue asked back: "As for what you are worried about, before solving the problem of survival, is that still a problem?"

Xu Nian was speechless, and even faintly, he was inexplicably afraid, because he felt that he was gradually convinced.

"So, Xu Nian, you must be mentally aware. We pioneers have only one goal, to kill all alienated creatures and deformed monsters and rebuild a new order for mankind."

Speaking of this, Zuo Qiuyue turned back again, with a look called "awakening" in his eyes: "For this, we must abandon all the good things such as kindness and integrity."

"Just like what the goddess said, if humans must go to hell, then let us do it!"
