354. The Shadows of the Underground
Dongcheng District, central location.
The massive steam energy tower is located here, a massive mechanical structure that provides enough energy to power the entire city, and naturally inevitably produces the same amount of noise and roar.
Therefore, the place near the energy tower is not very suitable for living, it is too noisy here, and ordinary people cannot rest well in such an environment, but it is not without benefits, that is, the steam power near the energy tower is not lost in transportation, so the energy is very sufficient, and it can drive some energy-consuming mechanical work, such as large machines in factories and so on.
As a result, a large number of factories are built around the Energy Tower.
It's just that the roar of the energy tower and the noise of the machines running in the surrounding factories make the area even more unbearable, and everyone working in the factories here must wear earplugs, but even so, in the long run, most of the workers' ears are inevitably infected with various problems, so there are never a few people who are deaf.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as work-related injuries in this world, human life is not valuable, let alone just disabled, those workers who have worked hard all their lives in the post will not be respected by the boss, they are just some tools in the eyes of those capitalists, and it is natural that the tools will be lost.
After all, the most important thing in this world is the tool man, even if the working environment is so bad, but there are still few people who are eager to go to work in the factory, because there are too many people who yearn for the prosperity of the city and abandon the land in the village and choose to go to the city to fight, and Dongcheng District is full of unemployed homeless people waiting for work.
In short, the bones and blood of countless workers are buried in the ground of every factory here, and the city can eat people.
However, when it comes to underground, compared to the noise of the surface, because of the barrier of the earth, the underground space dug deep in the ground will indeed be much quieter and more comfortable, many factories have some multi-storey basements underground, of which the shallow one is usually used as a temporary rest room for workers, and the deeper and quieter place is the office area of the boss or cadres.
With the passage of so many years, the major factories have been relocated or renovated from time to time, which has led to more and more similar basements, getting bigger and bigger, and no one knows how many "anthills" there are in this underground until now, and these unknown number of anthills are independent of each other, some are connected to each other, faintly forming the prototype of a dungeon.
Maybe you're walking down the road and opening a sewer manhole cover and walking in to find that it's actually an abandoned basement.
These abandoned basements have become treasures for the homeless, and many poor people who have just arrived in the city and are penniless live in these underground ruins, in addition to some underground gangs formed by ruffians or fugitive wanted criminals from all over the world, and even some wizards who study forbidden spells and cults hidden in the shadows and other dangerous elements also like it.
The East City is the lower level of Cornwallis City, the dark side of the city, and the ruins of the underground city are the lower level of the East City, the shadow of the shadows, the cradle of sin and evil.
For example.......
In the middle of an unknown underground ruin, this place has been illegally transformed into a dungeon, and rusty iron railings have isolated this underground space, forming independent cells.
The conditions of the cell were also very harsh, with some hay in the corner, which seemed to be a place for the prisoners to sleep, and on the other side was a broken bucket, which, judging from the stench of the barrel, seemed to be the prisoner's toilet.
The underground space, which has no sunlight all day long, relies on a few old-fashioned gas lamps that are panicked by the light as a light source, and a few drops of water will drip down from the damp ceiling from time to time, so that the rats crawling on the ground are vigilant and begin to flee.
It's just that, completely different from this harsh environment, the prisoners in these cells are all young women, the younger ones are almost in their teens, and the older ones don't look less than thirty years old, and each of them is quite good-looking, all of them are delicate or above, and some of them are even more beautiful and moving.
Outside the cell, some greedy eyes watched them, and the hungry wolf-like eyes seemed to penetrate directly through their clothes, making the women in the cage cower in fear, their eyes full of despair and fear.
What frightened them even more was the screams of pain from the woman and the gasp of the man in the next room, and from time to time they could hear a few shrill whips or the sound of flesh colliding, etc., without thinking about it, what was happening in that room would not be very harmonious.
"Damn, I really envy the boss, I also want to find a girl to have a good time."
Naturally, it was not only the girls in the prison who could hear the movement next door, but also the men in charge of guarding the prison outside the prison.
It was just that unlike the women who were trembling and full of fear, the hunger and thirst in the eyes of these men were even greater, and among them was a young man with yellow hair who looked to be in his early twenties, and even lay directly in the cage in front of him, staring at the poor woman in the prison, and the evil fire in his eyes seemed to be about to burn out.
"Wake up, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, bear with me, and after the shift is handed over, Uncle will take you to Pink Lane to have a good time."
Fortunately, another older guard next to him stopped the reckless young man, and he was so reassuring.
"This is different, uncle, how can those old women in Pink Lane have these energy, you look at this little face, this body, this skin, it's as white as milk, no, I can't help it, even if I don't do it really, it's okay to touch it."
However, the young man, who had already been lustful, could no longer hold back, and the more frightened the woman in the cage became, the more the evil fire in his heart burned, and reason could no longer restrain him, so he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and prepared to go in and do whatever he wanted.
"You're crazy, these goods are specified by the above, and they are all chicks, if you kid breaks it, you can't afford to pay for it if you are chopped alive."
Seeing that his companion was about to do something bad, the middle-aged guard couldn't help it, he wanted to step forward to stop it, but before he could act, he saw that the young man who had just inserted the key into the lock suddenly had a distorted expression.
As if in great pain, the young man trembled, and he struggled to control his hands, but he could only watch as those hands let go of the lock and key, and then stretched steadily towards his own neck, and then twisted hard, with a crisp click, and the weak corpse fell straight to the ground.
This young, even a little handsome face still looked at the direction of the cage in front of him until death, but what remained in the last dead eyes was no longer lust, but full of fear and despair.
"Ahh
Seeing this villain who originally wanted to be violent to him die in front of him so strangely, the woman in the cage couldn't hold back anymore, she screamed with fear, and this scream was like a signal, and the other women in the cage also shouted in fear, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
And the middle-aged caretaker also showed fear on his face, but he was not very panicked, after all, he had seen such a scene many times.
"So, why are you young people not as good as one?"
The middle-aged guard, who had been in this line for most of his life, but was still alive, looked at the corpse of the young man on the ground and sighed a little sadly.
Then he turned around and looked respectfully at the door next door, which had opened at some point.
"I'm sorry, this ignorant kid has disturbed your nature, boss, I'll take care of him."
Inside the door, a thin and short man was wearing his clothes with his back on his back, and he only nodded faintly when he heard it.
"By the way, let's take care of this too."
As he spoke, the thin man stepped out of the way, revealing the woman who was chained to the wall, and her body was covered with whiplash burns and other scars.
It's just that this beautiful woman has long since lost her breath, her lowered eyes have not closed, and her empty eyes are full of despair and resentment, silently exuding a curse on the world.
"Hehe, I think you're suffocating it's quite uncomfortable, do you want to vent by the way, it's quite hot."
The thin man turned around and showed a gloomy face, he smiled at the middle-aged guard and said.
The middle-aged guard was stunned for a moment, then delighted, and he walked into the room, and then the door closed.
"Oh, by the way, it seems that a pair of twins were just sent in the morning, it seems that they were ordered by the gods, so let's go and see them first."
The gloomy man touched his chin, and then slowly walked up to the basement.
It's just that what he didn't notice was that in addition to them, there had been a young girl quietly watching all this in this basement from the beginning.
.........................
"Hoo ....."
The girl, who seemed to have suffered a major impact on her worldview, exhaled heavily, and after adjusting her emotions, she raised her head, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to be golden.
"Die!"
The girl suppressed her anger and whispered a word into the next room.
After saying that, she seemed to calm down a lot, and finally looked at the women in the dungeon, and then she turned to follow the gloomy man, she quietly watched this guy, and the anger that had burned in her demonic eyes gradually subsided, and finally returned to a quiet.
It's as quiet as looking at a corpse.
.............
And in the next hut, the middle-aged guard who had not yet unbuttoned his belt widened his eyes and silently collapsed on the female corpse.
There was still desire on his face, and the expression on his whole face was still in ecstasy, but his heart had stopped beating, and his body was even colder than the female corpse that was pressed under him at this time, and the vitality of his whole body was passing at a strange speed, as if he was being ordered to dissipate quickly.
