Real Players of the Department of Life

Chapter 8 Come to what you are afraid of

The parade was quiet for a moment, and then continued on as if nothing had happened.

As the team moved forward, Zhang Cishun and Jing Shuo also walked past the man's gradually spreading pool of blood.

The body was dragged into the darkness, leaving only bright red blood and bloody footprints mixed with mud that extended all the way.

No one was surprised, but there were a few sneers in the team.

Zhang Cishun suddenly felt that this was not a parade, but a street parade.

In fact, City No. 88 originally did not have a middle city district, but only an upper city district and a lower city district. How did the middle city district come about?It's because those people who live on the fringes of the upper city are dissatisfied that they live in the upper city but can see those 'people' in the lower city every day.The long-term backlog of conflicts led to a tragic conflict in City No. 88.

No one knows how that conflict ended, but after that, Xiacheng District suddenly became divided into inner and outer rings, and then gradually factories began to move and were located on a large scale in the inner ring of Xiacheng District, which is what it is today. The location of Midtown.

The factory workers left the upper city, but they didn't want to be on the same level as the lower city, so they set up gates to separate the inner and outer rings of the lower city.

Later, slowly, the inner and outer rings in the lower city were no longer distinguished, and the middle city was replaced.

The gate is very fragile, but there is actually an invisible barrier under it. On both sides of the gate, there are two different worlds.

There are always people in the lower city who think that if they pass through the gates and escape the pursuit of the middle city, they can become a middle-towner. Only the old people in the lower city know how ridiculous this idea is.

“Technology is not guilty!”

Someone in the front row of the team started shouting, and the sound echoed in the sky above the city, slightly thin.No one in Xiacheng District shouted with them, because the wages paid to them did not include this service.

The factories in Zhongcheng District are well-located and the roads are wide but slightly deserted.

Only the black smoke rising from the tall chimneys of the factory buildings kept reminding them that someone was working inside.

Zhang Cishun saw a garbage truck parked on the side of the road. When the window was rolled down, he could see a figure puffing away smoke.

But that's not a centipede.

Maybe he is the person in charge of other urban areas.

The team is still going
After passing through the area where factories were concentrated, the buildings in front of him grew taller, and Zhang Cishun felt as if he had returned to the modern city in his memory.

The people in the front row who had been shouting slogans fell silent during this section of the journey, and even led the team to advance a little faster.

There are no longer uniformed guards on both sides of the road, but there are many more people in strange clothes.

The clothes looked like tights, with a lot of pockets, and some had flashing lights on them.

They just sat carelessly on the roadside, holding food and drink in their hands, watching the people passing by like monkeys.Then they laughed at each other as if they had remembered something interesting.

"They are the Wilderness Army." Jing Shuo explained to Zhang Cishun: "They are the only ones who have the authority to enter and exit the entire city. They wander in the wilderness, searching for lost technologies and items. Many things in the city today are theirs. Brought back from the wilderness."

"wilderness……"

Zhang Cishun knew where that was, the world outside the barrier.It is said that it is a piece of loess with no grass growing on it.But this rumor is not very credible, because now the food in the city is transported in from outside the barrier.

Most of the rumors in the lower city are unbelievable, but the rumors about the danger level in the wilderness rumors are true.

Because in addition to wild beasts in the wilderness, there are also doomsday beasts.

Doommons are variations of the Beast that are said to have special powers.

The parade quickly passed through the area where the Wilderness Army was stationed at a deliberately accelerated pace.

When they stepped out of this area, what appeared in front of them was the upper city.

bustling
clean
文明
Many poor people in the lower city can't imagine what the upper city is like in their whole lives, but today, following the parade, these people in the lower city have taken the scenery of the upper city into their eyes.

The queue became quiet, even dead silent. Some people were fascinated by the beautiful woman who poked her head out of the high-rise window, maybe even wearing makeup. Some people looked at the car parked in the parking space with questions in their heads.

There was a vague aroma of food in the air, it was... coming from a restaurant.

There was a sudden buzzing sound above the head, and the people around him shrank their heads in shock, and then heard a childish haha ​​sound.

Looking towards the direction of the laughter, a child wearing gorgeous clothes was laughing with a remote control in his hand.

When he realized that all the eyes of the group were turned towards him, he still had his hands on his waist and shouted sternly: "Who allowed you to enter the upper city? You untouchables from the lower city!"

Untouchables?

Jing Shuo clenched his fist, but let it go quickly.

"Let's go quickly." He said indifferently.

Zhang Cishun suddenly remembered that he once asked Jing Shuo because he was curious about what Shangcheng District was like, and Jing Shuo's emotions when he talked to him.

It was filled with indelible hatred.

At first he thought something happened that he didn't want to say.Later he realized that Jing Shuo was too sober.

He is sober.

So he only hates Uptown and Midtown.

There was once a person from the lower city who entered the factory in the middle city with all kinds of difficulties and then turned around and used even worse methods to deal with the people from the lower city. He said:

"He is obviously suffering, but he still hasn't realized clearly who made him suffer so much."

"It's so sad."

People in Xiacheng District are good at weighing the pros and cons and cutting off useless feelings.Anger is especially useless.

But there are still a small number of people like that child, and the people in the upper city will hide that emotion well in their eyes, and then look down on them from above.

The slogan and purpose of the parade are irrelevant to them, they only feel that the crowd is noisy.

The three main roads seemed particularly long under the scorching sun at this time. Jing Shuo gave half of the bread in his hand to Zhang Cishun.

With their saliva, the two melted the bread in their mouths and swallowed it.

This is torture for the upper teeth.

After a few mouthfuls, Zhang Cishun felt a rusty taste in his mouth.

But he didn't stop.

The procession stopped and went, and people in the front row gave speeches on each of the three main streets, but no one was listening.

The flow of people after the confluence of several teams is enough to describe it as huge
Now, they are going into the inner city.

The inner city is part of the Uptown, but unlike other areas of the Uptown, it is where power is concentrated.

It's less than four o'clock at this time

Zhang Cishun could no longer hear what the people at the front of the line were shouting at all. He and Jing Shuo leaned on each other, preventing them from being dispersed by the flow of people while advancing.

The current situation is as if the cars in the eight lanes are all merged into the second lane, and congestion is the only adjective.

Zhang Cishun's heart rose, his nerves were tense.

But Murphy's Law seems to be in effect in this world as well. The more Zhang Cishun is worried about riots and accidents, the more it will come.

boom--

Accompanied by the sound of some glass breaking and the roaring sound of flames rising rapidly, in Zhang Cishun's eyes, the roaring flames spread in an instant!

one place!
Two places!

Everywhere!

Zhang Cishun clearly saw that among the parade crowd, someone took out a Molotov cocktail from under his cloak, and threw it vigorously towards the surrounding buildings!

flustered
Scream
someone fell to the ground
Plasma spurted from the cut in his neck.

Then Zhang Cishun caught some kind of abnormal refracted light out of the corner of his eye. It was the flash of ironware in the sun.

He reacted quickly and almost instantly had the weapon hidden under his cloak in his hand.

But someone is faster than him!
Jing Shuo!

The short knife had pierced his own cloak, and with the force, a hole was torn.

His eyes hidden under the hood were indifferent, and there were no unnecessary movements or words at all. Before the man's attack fell, the short knife in his hand pierced the opponent's body three times!

Three knives
All fatal injuries.

Any hesitation and soft-heartedness at this time will lead to accidents.

"run!"
