MTL - Players Please Get In the Car-Chapter 1487 abnormal place
Satisfied with the man's knowledge, Xu Huo turned and went downstairs.
When he stepped up the stairs with his back to everyone, some players winked at the man behind the desk. The man looked at Xu Huo's back, but he hesitated and stopped the sneak attack.
Xu Huo can easily restrain them, and the possibility of hitting them with one blow is not high. Once a fight starts, even if he can kill him in the end, he will suffer serious losses on his own side, and he will only be mermaid.
The harsh environment has taught the people here to be flexible. The man was not in a hurry to save face, but quietly ordered some specious news to be released, such as outsiders having a problem with the underground palace, threatening not to take the underground palace seriously, Another example is that he seems to have come to District 026 with an injury, so he has not left for a long time, and he is very "loving", distributing food to people in the alley, and planning to live here for a long time...
Xu Huo took the young man back to the bottom floor. On the way, he had already learned about the arrangement of the water store, which is not surprising.
The slums don't look big, but there are many factions and gangs inside. They are afraid of being annexed by others, so they didn't choose to go head-to-head on their own territory, and used some fake news to stimulate other forces, making others think what Xu Huo intends to do here , so that he could become a target of public criticism.
This little survival skill can unite the various forces that control the slums.
Xu Huo didn't care. He walked in the slums several times to confirm that there were no B-level players here.
Also, it is very difficult for people who are fooling around to advance to B-level, and players who have been promoted to B-level will naturally not stay in such a ghostly place.
"Thank you for saving me..." The boy still followed behind him, thanking him in a low voice.
Xu Huo nodded to show that he heard it, and then he went up two more times, both at the mountainside and down again, and looked at the water intake facilities in the slums from a certain distance before returning to the small hotel.
When we returned to the small hotel, many children came to the small alley next to the store. They all had received biscuits, including the brothers. They huddled up at the entrance of the alley. Eyes that looked particularly large against the slightly sunken eye sockets looked at him hopefully.
The owner of the hotel stood guard at the door, frowning and said to Xu Huo, "You brought them here. Let me tell you first, they can't come in."
"These children don't have parents?" Xu Huo asked.
"Most of them don't." The boss said in a normal tone: "It's useless to give them a meal or two. Anyway, most of them won't live to be ten years old."
People with strong physical fitness may survive in this environment, but children are the weakest of the weak, not to mention that they cannot eat a decent meal, even if they are allowed to eat half a pack a day, the toxins in the food can damage them over time body of.
Xu Huo paid some money to the boss, "Buy some food for them to eat, and you keep the rest of the money."
The boss looked at him in surprise and puzzlement, but seeing that Xu Huo had no intention of explaining, he squeezed the white bill in his hand, "It's fine if you can eat enough."
The boss picked two older children to go grocery shopping with him.
Xu Huo asked the boy to take the brothers to the hotel.
The youngest one kowtowed to Xu Huo three times when he entered the room, raised his head and smiled hard: "Thank you uncle!"
Xu Huo checked his brother's leg. The injury was not serious, but the knee was bruised to the point where he couldn't bend it because he didn't treat it well after the injury. The time was too long, which affected the whole leg, so he couldn't walk.
"This is a healing potion." He took out a shot of E-grade self-healing potion and slapped it near his knee, checked the effect of the potion, and said, "I'll be able to walk in a few days."
Brother's mouth was trembling, and it took a while to thank Xu Huo.
The child leaned over to the bed, "Brother, does your leg still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt that much anymore." The elder brother held his younger brother's hand, and looked at Xu Huo quietly, as if something else had grown in his eyes.
The teenager on the side looked at the two brothers with some envy, and looked down at the bruises on his legs. The envy was quickly replaced by disappointment and despair.
The boss came back soon. Because Xu Huo gave him a lot of money, he conscientiously bought some half-fresh vegetables, and there was even a piece of meat in it. After the smell of the food wafted out, even the young man upstairs lost his mind.
"Go downstairs." Xu Huo asked him to carry his brother down, but he didn't intend to go downstairs.
"Uncle, don't you eat?" The younger brother sucked the saliva that was about to drip, "The rice is delicious!"
"Go and eat." Xu Huo smiled.
The three children went downstairs, and soon the boss shouted from downstairs, telling the children to "stand in line" and "don't fight", and telling them to "don't eat too much", but gradually They were all drowned out by the sound of children gobbling their meals.
Xu Huo started to take out the ledger from a water store after eating some dry food.
The clean food in the slums is all shipped from the big cities. Because the planting environment is not good, the price is high. You can’t even find any leftovers in the trash cans in the slums, only where the players live , Occasionally throw some leftovers, but those places have long been occupied by other adults.
There are very few people who can work in the slums, because there is nothing to do here. It is nothing more than repairing or moving items for the players, or doing other errands. Men and women with a slightly neater face may be picked early. After leaving, the rest are starving, regardless of life or death.
However, childbirth is still encouraged here. Ordinary people can get a sum of money for giving birth to a child. If the child born has a good physique, the player forces may also give money to support it.
But this is very rare. Most of the children will become orphans. Even if they survive the infancy, most of them will not live to be ten years old.
In contrast, the big cities are much better. Judging from the purchase list registered in the ledger, the cities not only have land for growing food and vegetables, but also produce fruits, clothing, and decorations, and all necessities for life can be met. It is guaranteed that these forces capable of transporting supplies to the outside world are all player groups, each with its own name.
However, judging from the accounts, there is a fixed amount of daily necessities exported from the city every month. Sometimes you can buy more in the slums, and sometimes you can only buy a little.
Another most important account is water. The water store has to pay a fee to the city every month to purchase water access rights.
A glimpse of the leopard, from the account book of a water store, it can be seen that there is almost a pool of stagnant water in the slums. Somewhat abnormal.
