LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 22 The Zaan Community

Levi lives in the Zaun community next to the factory area of ​​Piltover, which is still some distance away from Piltover University, which is located in the wealthy area.

The Zaun community, as the name suggests, is of course a community inhabited by Zaun people.Most of the people living here are Zaun apprentices who are not even citizens of Piltover, and there are a few Zaun immigrants who have lost their fortunes and obtained the status of Piltover, and have no money to move to other places for a while—or new Piltovers—they I prefer to call myself that.

In short, it's poor folk from Zaun who live here.

However, Piltover pays attention to community self-government. When a community is full of poor people, the community will naturally become a "ghost town".

Even the most basic public services cannot be provided here, the streets are not cleaned, the roads are not maintained, there is no public transportation in hospitals, schools, and even law enforcement officers are reluctant to come here.

The walls along the street were covered with Zaun-style graffiti, and the surface of the road was covered with cobweb cracks that no one had repaired.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the shop are all nailed with heavy wooden boards, and the shopkeeper sits at the door with a shotgun openly, warmly welcoming regular customers, while vigilantly guarding against any strangers passing by.

The trash cans on the side of the road were all full, and all kinds of garbage overflowed like mudslides.

Those heavy, wet, chunky, psoriasis-like lumps stuck to the ground.

Those light, dry, and small pieces floated on the road like tumbleweeds.

Any Piltover person would frown in disgust when they came here.

This of course also includes Seraphine.

She was so focused on finding Li Wei as soon as possible, and she didn't have time to feel sick all the way.

Now that Li Wei was by her side, walking on the streets of this Zaun community again, she inevitably noticed the extremely poor sanitation environment here.

"Hey~" Seraphine tiptoed, taking small steps, trying to avoid all kinds of rubbish dancing in the wind on the road.

But even so, from time to time, things like bags and rags will be blown past her by the wind, rubbing against her white silk stockings, gold-embroidered skirt, delicate skin, and even her most cherished skin. pink long hair.

It made her sick to the point of goosebumps.

So Seraphine walked more carefully and slower.

"Can you go faster, Miss Seraphine?" Li Wei couldn't help urging.

The teammate moved so slowly that he was so anxious that he wanted to buy her a wheelchair.

"No, I'm sorry. There's too much garbage here, and" Seraphine tried to move her sore and sweaty toes in her expensive but uncomfortable high-heeled boots: "I really walked Don't move, Mr. Levi."

"Why not." As she spoke, she suddenly got excited again: "Mr. Li Wei, can you carry me for a while? This way we can walk faster, and you can 'sing' to me Mile!"

"No!" The girl was always thinking about the tunes in his mind.

But Li Wei didn't want to be Seraphine's automatic wheelchair and car player.

If he was not only singing but also thinking about other things when he was in physical contact with her, how could he have the face to go out to meet people and explain the truth to them.

"Hurry up. Once you get out of the Zaun community, the environment will be much better. There is also a tram stop over there, so you can take a ride to rest when you get there."

"Music or something, we'll talk about it when we get there."

"Okay." Seraphine was a little disappointed.But after getting the promise that she could listen to the song when she walked, she still tried her best to speed up her pace and followed Li Wei silently.

However, within a few steps, she seemed to have discovered some new world, suddenly widened her innocent blue eyes, and tugged at Li Wei's sleeve from behind.

"Mr. Levi, look—"

"Why is there a person there, sleeping in the garbage dump?"

"Huh?" Li Wei was also a little curious.

Then he followed Seraphine's gaze and looked into the "garbage dump" on the side of the road.

"That's not a garbage dump." Levi's mouth twitched: "That's his 'house'."

"House, house?" Seraphine said in surprise, "Isn't that just a pile of broken cardboard? Can broken cardboard be used as a house? Wouldn't it be cold to live in?"

"Why does he live here?"

Li Wei didn't know how to explain it.

Why?Of course it is because of poverty!
Who rides a horse to live in a Hoover cabin if they are not poor?

So Li Wei couldn't help but ask back: "Salafini, have you never been to the Zaun community in your life?"

"Well, my father never let me come here. He said that all the bad people live here, and it will be dangerous to come here."

Li Wei: "..."

He instinctively wanted to complain, but looking at the surrounding environment, Mr. Erwin was right.

If he had a daughter, he certainly didn't want her to come near here.

"Let's go, Seraphine. You will understand why that man lives in a broken cardboard and walks outside more often."

"Yeah." Seraphine nodded ignorantly.

However, it didn't take long before she discovered something curiously:
"Mr. Li Wei, is that also a 'house'?"

"No." Li Wei glanced at it: "That's the garbage dump."

"Then why is there someone sleeping in it? There are several other people lying together."

Seraphine instinctively wanted to go over and have a look.

"Stop!" Li Wei called her to stop with a dark face.

No wonder Mr. Erwin wouldn't let her come over.With the naivety of this young lady, if she wandered around the Zaun community by herself, something would have happened long ago.

"Stay away from them!"

"Why? They're lying in the garbage and sleeping, looking so...poor."

"Poor fart!" Li Wei scolded in disgust: "Did you see those needles and empty medicine bottles? That's a bunch of shimmering lunatics! You'd better stay away from them!"

"Shimmer?" Seraphine was a little surprised: "Is it that kind of illegal drug? Listen to my father, isn't that thing very expensive?"

"So what if it's expensive? These people are willing to sell their wives, children, and even their own lives in order to escape reality for a while."

"But what's the use? The medicine is gone, and all that's left is a more miserable reality."

"People can be poor, but they can't live in such a twisted way."

Levi has no sympathy for these addicts, but just urges Seraphine to follow him.

Seraphine was still preoccupied.

As she was walking, she realized that there were many, many shimmer addicts on the side of the road like the one just now.

Some of them were unconscious, some stood there blankly, and some even twitched and crawled on the ground, like a group of infected zombies.But they were clearly still alive, and that was the scariest thing.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li Wei." After a while, Seraphine gently tugged his sleeve again.

"What's wrong?" Li Wei didn't even bother to turn his head this time: "You won't see any 'garbage dump' again, will you?"

"Hmm" it really was: "Mr. Li Wei, look at that. Is it a garbage dump or a house?"

".That's the garbage dump!"

"But there's still someone sleeping inside."

"Is there?"

"Yes. There is a foot exposed."

Li Wei: "..."

He took a serious look and helplessly raised his forehead:

"That's not sleeping in"

"That's dead inside."

"Huh?" Seraphine's face paled, "Corpse, corpse?"

"What's the surprise?" Li Wei sighed: "There are always people here who have no money and die of illness, exhaustion, or being beaten to death by gangsters. The dead bodies are thrown into the garbage dump, and they are burned with the garbage on a regular basis, and it's over."

"how so."

"His family, don't, don't they send him to the cemetery for burial?"

"Who told you that he still has family?" Li Wei sighed helplessly: "Family is a luxury in Zaan, do you understand?"

"And even if there is a family member, if the family member dies, we still throw the body like this. At most, we will spend some effort on our own, move it to the port and throw it into the sea, it can be regarded as a 'sea burial'."

"Otherwise, cemeteries, coffins, funerals, sacrifices and so on will all cost money. Zaun people can't afford this kind of money."

"Is this also the same in Zaan?"

"No, no one litters dead bodies in Zaun."

"Only Zaun in Piltover would do that."

"That's okay." Seraphine let go of her bitten white lips, and she didn't know who was relieved.

"What a fart!" Li Wei said cursingly: "Zuan has a special alchemy shop to collect corpses, which are used as experimental supplies for those Frankensteins."

"A good corpse, wouldn't it be a waste to throw it away?"

Seraphine: "."
