Chapter 1769 Civil Strife
As soon as I finished speaking, no less than ten representatives expressed their agreement.
After a brief inspection, the vast majority of these people agreed to take a detour, and the remaining two or three were brave people who had previously planned to fight to the death with the city guards.
As for those who suggested going home to avoid the limelight, they looked confused and didn't know whether to agree or object.
Ignoring these wavering people who just want comfort, I turned to everyone and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone has no opinion on my suggestion, let's leave without further delay."
"Okay!" Those representatives who agreed with my suggestion responded in unison.
I turned to Boss Ren and said, "I'll leave the rear affairs to you."
Boss Ren said calmly: "Yes."
I thought about it and added softly: "If the situation is critical, save your life first."
Boss Renn nodded imperceptibly.
Then, I took the lead and walked towards the garbage mountain.
The city guards behind them did not pursue them, they were still hiding near the faint light.
The reason why I confidently chose the road to the garbage mountain is that I concluded that the city guard did not want to have anything to do with the garbage mountain.
During the time when Harold took office as the captain of the city defense, I mastered a lot of information related to Airui City, including the identities of the members of the city protection army.
This is a group of troops composed of the legitimate sons of large, medium and small nobles in Airui City, and can also be called the Laojun Army.
Precisely because they are veteran soldiers, they stay away from filthy places like the Garbage Mountain. Unless Carter Horton gives a death order, they will never get even one step closer to this place.
This is exactly why I chose this path.
Standing at the foot of the garbage mountain, I took a breath and almost choked and vomited. The smell was still so overbearing. Even though I had walked through it once before, I still couldn't get used to it.
By the moonlight, I glanced at the expressions of all the representatives. Some of them, who were simply dressed in simple clothes, had very natural expressions, and some frowned. Although there was obvious discomfort on their faces, they still said nothing, and Those who advocated going home to avoid the limelight covered their mouths and noses in agony, and two even bent over and vomited.
One of the representatives pinched his nose and said with a painful look on his face: "The smell here is too strong, and it's dirty. I'm afraid I'll get seriously ill after this trip. If you ask me, let's go home first to avoid the limelight. After a while, when the limelight eases, it might not be a bad idea for us to leave together."
The representative who was one person away from him snorted coldly and said: "Your family has a big business, so naturally you can't give it up. Unlike poor people like us, who pack a small suitcase and have all their belongings."
"What do you mean by this!" The representative holding his nose was furious and shouted: "I am doing this for everyone's sake, why do you have the right to be sarcastic to me!"
"Why?" The latter sneered and said, "Just to make a fortune, you didn't hesitate to lick Carter Horton's stinky feet and take away the property of more than a dozen innocent civilians!"
The representative holding his nose was suddenly startled, and the hand holding his nose unconsciously relaxed. After he took a breath of the unique sour smell of the garbage mountain, he immediately felt sick and vomited. He quickly pinched his nose and He pointed at the man and said ferociously: "You"
"What am I!" The man was not afraid of the other person's ferocious expression at all, and said coldly: "Are you curious, how do I know you have these properties? Let me tell you, there happens to be one resident who has been occupied by you. You are my friend. I have always wanted to settle accounts with you, but for the sake of my ancestors, I still suppressed my anger. But it is different now. You have repeatedly urged everyone to retreat, but you cannot give up. Do you want to lose the huge assets accumulated over the years, or do you want to disintegrate our cohesion and let Carter Horton break us apart?"
His voice was not loud, but his words were heart-breaking. The representative's face turned red and white.
The other representatives also looked at him in surprise, with sympathy, contempt, and anger in their eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting worse, I coughed lightly and said, "No matter what happened in the past, since we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now, we should take care of each other, be harmonious with each other, and love and trust each other."
Before I could finish speaking, the representative who reported the nose-pinching representative interrupted: "I know we need to help each other right now to get through the difficulties, but it is absolutely impossible for me and those hypocrites to love each other and trust each other. of."
One sentence made the atmosphere awkward again.
I really didn’t expect that the conflicts between these descendants of legendary heroes would be so deep. Even before they left the slums, they were already in trouble. If they all settled in Dashai City in the future and met each other, one would If it doesn't please your eyes, you might as well blow your brains out!
With a slight headache, I couldn't help but have a thought: Would it be a wrong decision to extradite these descendants of legendary heroes back to Dashai City?
After a moment of silence, I sighed deeply and stepped onto the garbage mountain. At the same time, I said lightly: "Since I have been ordered to take you back to Dasai City this time, I will not care about the past. If you are willing to follow me, just follow me." And leave, if you don't want to, you can continue to stay in Airui City, I will never force it."
After that, he strode up the garbage mountain.
After crossing the garbage mountain and coming to the sewer iron fence, I stood still and turned around. I looked around briefly and found that there were a few representatives missing, including the one who had retreated earlier.
I didn’t say much. This was the path they chose and it had nothing to do with me, now or in the future.
When we first walked into the sewer, we felt that the dim light inside was much brighter than during the day.
As I walked around the rat corpse, I told the people behind me to walk carefully and not to step on the rat corpse and get blood and smelly flesh on the soles of my shoes.
There were many female family members and children in the team. After seeing the rat corpses everywhere, they screamed in surprise, and occasionally there were sounds of vomiting.
These are normal phenomena. After all, not everyone can withstand such an environment.
After walking for a while, I came to the relief of Di Ruigi. I turned my head and glanced at its bright red pupils, but I still didn't fall into the illusion.
I'm afraid it's only when you look at it for the first time that you might be sucked into the illusion.
After walking for a while, when passing by the relief of the flute player, a representative came forward and walked side by side with me. He pointed at the relief on the wall and whispered: "This flute player is real." He was originally a human being. For some unknown reason, he was contaminated and became a monster-like existence. He could control the rats above with his flute. These rats were not simple either. Their length was longer than the average height of an adult in Zephyr Continent. He must be tall and have sharp teeth that can bite through fine steel.”
"Dare I ask, who told you these?" I asked curiously.
"My elders," the representative whispered, "because my ancestors once fought against the flute-playing monster."
