Chapter 6 Current Situation of Osaka City
In the blink of an eye, five days have passed.
With the last wave of people dying in this warehouse, no one has ever been here.
It's no wonder, after all, this kind of business is not suitable for advertising like ordinary shops, and if Wood is not mistaken, all the 'customers' should be found by the low man himself.
As long as they take advantage of the hatred of ordinary people for the cursed son, they don't need to worry about the source of customers at all.
In the past few days, the remaining four little girls also woke up one after another, and the regenerative ability of the cursed child was indeed very strong, and he broke away from the control of the pig, and went from dying to alive that night.
After a few days of inquiry, Wood also got a general idea of this place.
It's just that what he understands makes Wood a little worried.
- Pitch-black bullets.
About this world, I watched it four or five years ago, except that the world view and the male protagonist look very unpleasant, the plot has almost forgotten.
And the place where he is is is not the Tokyo area where the plot begins, but the Osaka area, which is countless times more cruel than the Tokyo area, and the little information he knows is completely useless here.
Osaka Ward, where the ruler is a man called 'Qiwu Xuanzong'.
Wood vaguely remembered some information about this man, but it didn't matter if he didn't, because this man was so famous, both among ordinary people and among the children of the blocked.
This was a ruler with considerable means, and the taxes of the whole of Osaka were several times higher than those of the other four regions, so that the people who lived here were resentful of him, but they could not do anything about it, and since he became the ruler of the Osaka region, he has been assassinated 17 times in a row, and he is still unharmed.
It is precisely because of his rejection of the Hindered Sons that the cursed sons of the entire Osaka area are in dire straits.
Just like Tokyo Ward, after the Gastar War ten years ago, the neighboring cities of Sakai, Kishiwada, and Toyonaka were cut into fragments by a megalithic monument and placed under the management of Osaka.
Osaka, which has a transportation hub, is far more convenient than the Tokyo area in terms of transportation.
The entire Osaka area is divided into 36 wards, with Osaka Castle as the central ward, and the further you go, the larger the number, like the abandoned compound where Wood and his family are located, which belongs to the 28th ward, which can be said to be the outermost part of the residential area.
The 28th arrondissement is rarely inhabited anymore, most of them are factory sites, there are also many abandoned factories, and the compound where Wood lives is surrounded by abandoned factories, and few people pass by, which is why those people run such inhumane businesses here.
Further afield, from the 29th arrondissement, it belongs to the outer districts.
The outer area, which is the border area with the megalith, is also a ruined capital that no one wants to live in.
There is no sign of human activity there, only clusters of collapsed buildings and half-destroyed houses. There are also some new large-scale factories. There are various power generation facilities such as geothermal, thermal power, hydropower, wind power, solar power, and nuclear power plants.
All of them belong to those facilities that cannot be built in residential areas and will harm the health of residents, and they are all automated.
Now, in 2031, the energy conversion efficiency of solar cells has been improved by leaps and bounds, and a tokamak-type fusion furnace has been established in the outer area.
Electricity in the center of the city is almost exclusively supplied by the outer districts.
There are three uses for the outer area.
First, dangerous nuclear power plants, and second, garbage disposal sites in urban residential areas. Third, sow genetically modified crops called 'magic seeds' that can be harvested in large quantities in a small area.
There is no doubt that no one cares about the number of residents who live there.
A dilapidated building that is completely incapable of sheltering from the wind and rain.
It's so polluted that when you take a breath, your lungs feel like burning air.
In addition to factories and farmland, garbage is everywhere.
This...... It's like a hellish area, but there is a group of little girls whose age is no more than ten years old.
Not one or two, but thousands and thousands!
They don't understand anything, they don't have anything but physical fitness that far surpasses that of ordinary people.
With no food, no family, and no shelter from the sewers from which the factories discharge.
In this environment, even if you have a physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people, there will be young lives that will starve to death, freeze to death, and even be killed by intruding gastrulation creatures.
But no one ever cared, even if they had left their biological parents here in swaddling clothes.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, these special children are like demons.
But if you get up close, you'll see that they're no different from kids of the same age.
"Sister Xiaoya, hurry up, there are colorful butterflies here."
"Wow, it's really colorful."
“……”
Wood sat on a chair in the shadow of the house and shook his head as he watched the little girls running around in the courtyard.
Really......
I still can't stand the little ghost.
Especially this kind of energetic girl, it seems that anything can become interesting in their eyes, this is not a big yard, but it makes each of them have a happy smile on their faces.
It's no wonder that, relatively speaking, the environment alone seems to them to be heaven.
Among the five, Xiaoya is just ten years old, the oldest of them.
The youngest is only seven years old, named Lu Xia, with fiery red hair, and is the cursed son of the cat factor, although the youngest, he is the most lively and active of the few.
The little black-haired girl who was catching butterflies over there was Natsuori, the son of the blocked canine gene, with good teeth, especially loving to gnaw bones, biting bones and clicking sounds, every time she ate, Wood was afraid that she would suddenly jump up and gnaw herself......
And running back and forth with Xia Ori is a silver-haired little girl with a single name for a month, with the gene of ants, and great strength.
As for the last one......
The corners of Wood's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look at the black-haired girl who was crouching beside him, tilting her head to smell his breath, her face full of enjoyment.
"Hey~~~"
Sighing heavily, Wood said with a headache, "Little Irene, have you been squatting here before you are ready for class?" ”
Little Irene scratched her head, and then rubbed her little head on Wood's lap, looking at the skillful stance, she didn't know that she thought that this thing, like Natsuori, was the cursed son of the canine gene.
"Because I stayed by my big brother's teacher's side, I felt so comfortable all over my body."
Wood: "......"
Such a beautiful little girl, squatting beside him like a puppy, Wood always felt a sense of guilt, even if he didn't do anything.
However, he was not so surprised by little Irene's actions.
Because this little girl is the son of a blocked bat gene, it is normal for her to become dependent on him as a vampire, and Wood feels very affectionate to little Erin as well...... However, this inexplicable guilt still can't be erased.
"Don't call me teacher, call me boss."
"Well, little boss, big brother."
“……”
It's all a mess of names.
Raising his wrist and glancing at the time, Wood got up and clapped his hands and shouted: "Don't play, it's time to start class, my arm is basically fine, I won't tell you how to be a businessman for the time being, and teach you to read." ”
"Eh~~~~"
A chorus of disappointment.
"I'm grinding, and after class, the Dzi girl will finish broadcasting." Seeing the reluctant appearance of several little girls, Wood directly released the big killing weapon.
A few little girls all ran back.
