Chapter 1407 The Edge of the City (3)
Shi Sheng learned from the discussions among these people that this building was just an ordinary building from the outside, and they had no idea what was going on inside.
In Jiang Tan's memory, the laboratory she was in at first was underground. Later, when alien species attacked and she ran out, the laboratory was probably destroyed.
These people should only be looking for a temporary place, if they plan to rebuild the laboratory underground...
Shi Sheng looked at the big pit. It must be at least ten meters long, right? Even if they dig deeper, the explosion above will still be destroyed by them.
"The defenders are coming." A shout suddenly rang out from the crowd, and there was a commotion in the crowd. Most of the people started to retreat, as if they were afraid of those people.
Among the crowd over there, a car stopped, and several men and women in uniforms got out of the car.
The city defense team was established after order was established on the edge of the city. It was said to protect their safety, but in fact it was to better select useless or disabled people among these people and send them to a unified alien feeding field.
Yes, in order to prevent the alien species from killing humans at will, the city defense team will feed the alien species every month.
Just like people on the edge of the city feed them as food to alien species.
Once alien species appear among humans, the defenders will also hunt them down.
Anyway, to sum up, the city defense team is not a fun thing. Ordinary residents are quite afraid of these people. Their life or death is in the hands of these people.
The edge of the city was a large hunting ground from the beginning, for alien hunters and human prey.
As time went by, some prey no longer wanted to be prey, and began to wonder how they could not be prey, so hunting dogs evolved among the prey, and the hunting dogs began to establish their own circles.
The weakest among humans become the prey of hunters and hounds.
The strong are respected and the weak are humbled.
The fittest survive, the fittest perish.
In this world, those who make the rules are the strong, the defenders are the fittest, those who vassal the strong are the weak, and those who are fed to alien species by the food are the fallen, they have lost their faith and the ability to survive. Hope, only waiting to die.
Not everyone can transform from a fallen person into a protagonist and villain.
Most people's thoughts follow the trend. When one person is desperate, many people will become desperate, and everyone will fall into the abyss of despair. Even if someone wants to help them, they won't believe it.
The people from the city defense team surveyed the scene. They didn't understand what was going on, so they reported it to the superiors.
Soon someone was clearing the area and no one was allowed to come near.
There are secrets hidden in that building, and of course these people will not let ordinary prey know.
Shi Sheng left along the street. The original owner was twelve years old when she was sent to the laboratory. Five years have passed, but the city in her impression has not changed much.
It's still so...shabby and old.
Many of these buildings were built a hundred years ago and are inhabited by people who live in them. It is a miracle that they have not collapsed.
Materials are in short supply on the edge of the city, and food is grown wherever food can be grown.
"boom!"
"Stop you little brat!"
A dark-looking child jumped out of the door next to him and rushed past Shi Sheng like a loach. A man ran out of the door and hit the child on the back of the head with a stone in his hand.
The child fell to the ground, blood spilled from the back of his head, and there was blood all over the floor.
The man walked up to the child, carried him to the door, "You still dare to run. If you don't go, do you still want me and your mother to go? We gave birth to you just to let you go. If you dare to run and fight again, Break your legs!"
The child opened his eyes and looked at Shi Sheng desperately.
Shi Sheng lowered his eyes and continued walking forward.
The able-bodied, fertile people here have a better chance of survival because they can have children.
The edge of the city is divided into twelve areas, each area is responsible for feeding for one month, and no one will be arrested for feeding in the remaining eleven months.
One year is enough to give birth to a child.
When a child reaches about ten years old, it can be fed as food.
Many women here die in the endless cycle of pregnancy, childbirth, pregnancy, and childbirth.
There is not a large population on the edge of the city. Elderly people, sick people, and sinners from all over the world are sent inside. Coupled with generations of reproduction, the population here is at least around 60 million to 80 million, or even more.
Don't think there are so many people. If you think about the fact that the population outside has returned to several billions in the past hundred years, you won't think there are too many people.
And if an area accepts a large population from the outside world, the original quota of residents can be replaced by people from outside.
At first, it was a fair amount, but later on, the situation of bribing the border to allocate the population naturally appeared. The population coming in from the outside was no longer distributed fairly to each region, so the regions began to have obvious differences.
The area she is currently in is District 7. The people in power are in this area, so this area can be considered relatively peaceful.
The number of people leaving each year is only a small number.
It is also common to have a child go there in your place, whether it is an adult or a child, as long as it can breathe.
Shi Sheng found a place to change out of her dirty clothes, but there was no water, so she could only continue to hold her head against the chicken coop.
…
There is almost no night at the edge of the city, because even if it is dark, the light from the base above can illuminate the edge of the city as if it were daytime.
People here live a very boring life. They either work according to region or have children at home.
But people always find joy in pain.
There is a street beneath the 7th arrondissement.
The Seventh District is a city in itself. This underground street was originally an underground shopping street. Among the first batch of people who came in, a group of people occupied this street. At first, they wanted to avoid being hunted by alien species. Later, they gradually occupied this street. It developed into a black market.
There is a casino, a bar, and even a KTV inside, but the equipment is old, and the sound can be heard from the next door, accompanied by various strange sizzling sounds.
At this time, in the dark box, several men were kneeling or lying on the ground, and in front of them sat a girl.
The girl's face was slightly pale, and her somewhat frizzy hair was tied into a ponytail.
She was wearing simple casual clothes, with her legs crossed, sitting like a second-rate person.
This girl suddenly came in, and so many of them were stunned but they didn't do anything to her.
"Auntie, what do you want?" One of the bald men asked carefully.
The girl shook her legs and said, "Is it okay to let you live here for a while?"
Several men were stunned.
The bald man responded the fastest, "You can live here as long as you like."
They can't defeat her, so what else can they do if they don't let her live?
