"Have you heard, even 'Meng Chao', who has been in the limelight in Dragon City recently, has been eroded by foreign beasts!"

At this time, Meng Chao heard a homeless person, and said to his companion with a wink, "The alien beast turned Meng Chao into a monster with a blue face and fangs, three heads and six arms, he is no longer human, and he has killed several companions!" ”

“……”

Meng Chao secretly spat on it.

I know with my toes that if it weren't for the "red eyebrows" Su Lun secretly fanning the flames and telling right and wrong, such rumors would never have been possible.

"I've also heard that it's not eroded by alien beasts, it's ......"

Many homeless people huddled in corners, listening and spreading rumors with great interest.

With each mouth, the rumor will escalate to a version, and in the end, it will become unrecognizable and appalling, and it will become more and more difficult to understand, and there is nowhere to escape.

Moreover, Meng Chao also noticed a phenomenon.

The coughing was getting denser.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

Almost all the homeless people were coughing, and no one was able to calm down for more than half a minute.

Even a few armed gang members in the vicinity who maintained order coughed and complained quietly.

They can't be blamed for that.

The power of the explosion and fire in the leprosy village was too strong, and the impurities containing various highly toxic and chemical components burned brightly, turning into thick smoke as thick as ink, and constantly spreading towards the entire nest city.

In addition to blocking the line of sight and interfering with wireless networks, it also causes countless small particles of serious pollution to be suspended in the air.

Most of the buildings in Chaocheng are underground, and the poisonous gas containing small particles is heavier than the air, and after settling, it will penetrate into the ground everywhere.

After decades of development, the population of the entire Dragon City has swelled abnormally, and Chaocheng is no exception.

The small space is crammed into a capacity that exceeds the limit load by three or five times or more, and the air is naturally extremely dirty.

The already stinking underground space was flooded with a large amount of highly polluted smoke that ran down the nostrils and throats, eroding the residents' trachea, lung lobes and esophagus, naturally stimulating their immune systems, coughing bloodshot and unable to stop for a moment.

This is by no means a good sign.

For a long time, Chaocheng has been the place with the highest population density and the most polluted environment in the entire Dragon City.

But what is very amazing is that while many communities in the outside world have been poisoned by zombie viruses and blood-streaked flower spores and have become "infection areas", large-scale cluster infections rarely occur in Chaocheng.

The major gangs use thunderbolt methods, regardless of casualties and the feelings of the residents of Chaocheng, once they find a suspected infected person, they will "treat" or even "purify" them in the harshest way, of course, it is one thing.

The more important reason is that the survival rules of Chaocheng are far more cruel than the outside world, and in the survival screening of the fittest for decades, those whose immune systems are not strong enough and are susceptible to infection with the zombie virus have long since died.

Those who survive, no matter how dirty, deformed, and ugly they may seem, have far more immunity than citizens who seem to live in noble communities.

It's as if they were born with dozens of zombie viruses.

People who cannot withstand the erosion of bacteria and viruses die as early as infancy, even in the mother's womb.

This is one of the reasons why the Survival Committee is able to tolerate Hive City being self-managing all the time.

If the nest city is a time bomb that will explode tens of thousands of zombies at any time.

No matter how big the price is, the Survival Committee will have already cleared out the nest city.

However, no matter how strong the immunity is, there is a limit.

When humans suffer severe trauma, or when all internal organs are eroded, immunity naturally falls to the bottom.

Many bacteria and viruses have long been lurking in the bodies of the residents of Chaocheng, and when the originally impregnable immune system cracks, it can stage a terrifying "total outbreak" like a flood beast breaking through a dam.

Meng Chao's original neighbor, Grandma Wang, had no contact with zombies, but was only contaminated with an abdominal wound by a sword halberd demon pig, which defeated the immune system, and the zombie virus lurking in her body surfaced, turning Grandma Wang into a zombie.

And the leprosy village is burning, and the heat wave and dense fog released are tormenting the immune system of all the residents of the entire nest city all the time.

Meng Chao noticed that with the violent coughing, many people's eyes were slightly red, and the snot could not stop turbulence.

Some people already have fever, chills, and even mild convulsions.

Others scratched at the abscesses and festering wounds on their bodies, as if they were itching excruciatingly.

"As the fire in the leprosy village became more and more intense, the smoke containing unknown impurities continued to spread and settle, and the immunity of the residents of Chaocheng became weaker and weaker.

"It won't be long before their immunity drops below the tipping point and they become just as susceptible to viruses and spores as the outside population.

"The living environment of the nest city is so harsh, in the hive-like underground space, humans and snakes, insects, rats and ants coexist, if there is no super immune system as a 'firewall', and the alien beasts deliberately release a large number of new zombie viruses and blood-streaked flower spores, coupled with the ravages of the god transformation capsule......"

Meng Chao didn't dare to imagine what a terrible scene it was.

Half a year ago, the "King's Landing Hotel Raid" he experienced, which seemed to be full of pits and valleys of zombies and undead creatures, was completely insignificant compared to the very likely future of Chaocheng.

The way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle is, of course, for Chaocheng and the leprosy village to unite and trust each other, and gather all the manpower and resources to extinguish the fire in the leprosy village.

But Meng Chao listened to it for a long time just now, and found that there was a deep estrangement and prejudice between the residents of Chaocheng and the leprosy villagers.

On the one hand, Chaocheng is the largest slum in Dragon City, except for a very small number of middle and high-level gangs, the people in Chaocheng live at the bottom of Dragon City.

They must discriminate against leprosy villagers in order to gain spiritual balance and establish their identity as "humans".

Otherwise, it will be difficult for the dirty, ugly, impoverished, and even homeless people of the nest city to find their place in the whole civilization in the face of the high-spirited, radiant transcendent.

On the other hand, the industry of the entire Chaocheng is actually highly overlapping with the industry of the leprosy village.

There are very few lucky people who can work as a waiter in the Monster Gladiatorial Arena, or as a stacker in a casino, or a little bit of grace to engage in the oldest service industry of mankind.

If the vast majority of Chaocheng residents want to survive, they must engage in hard, dirty, and tiring work that no one in the outside world wants to do.

Such as garbage sorting, monster harvesting, special weapons manufacturing, waste and excrement recycling, underground space development...... They are all polluting, extremely dangerous and poorly paid.

More than ten years ago, the residents of Chaocheng could still rely on these hard work, dirty work, and tiring work, barely making a living.

But in the past ten years, with the population explosion and fierce competition in the entire Dragon City, the people at the bottom living in the outside world have become more and more hard-working, and their requirements for work have become lower and lower.

And in the depths of Chaocheng, the leprosy villagers survive the fittest faster than the ordinary Chaocheng residents.

The new generation of leprosy villagers are more efficient and more tolerant of high levels of radiation and pollution.

As a result of the internal and external squeeze, there is a large loss of jobs for the residents of Chaocheng, and in addition to the lucky ones who are attached to the major gangs, there are more and more homeless people who can barely support their families by using the tertiary industry, and there are more and more homeless people who have no jobs and are homeless.

Faced with such a situation, many Chaocheng residents are naturally resentful.

They don't understand why this is the case.

Doesn't it mean that Dragon City has been developing for more than half a century and is in a golden period of development that has not been encountered in a century?

The nine super enterprises, the cultivation giants, and the entire circle of transcendents are indeed full of flowers and boiling oil.

Why does their life, except that they don't have to face zombies and monsters all day long, seems to be no different from ten or twenty years ago, or even worse?

Including the residents of Chaocheng, tens of millions of citizens of the entire Dragon City have flowed together for half a century of precious blood, where did these blood go?

The residents of Chaocheng couldn't figure out this question.

The spearhead can only be pointed at the leprosy villagers in the leprosy village, who seem to be more "humble and lowly" than them.

It is believed that the leprosy villagers have taken away the jobs that should have belonged to them.

Even the major gangs often bargain for jobs subcontracted from mega-corporations on the grounds that "leprosy villagers are harder and hardworking than you, and their wages are cheaper".

There are really some residents of Chaocheng, because their work has been transferred to the leprosy village, and they have no place to rely on, and they have become wriggling clumps of rotten meat in the depths of Chaocheng, in dark corners.

Many of the unemployed have long since died.

But before they died, the hysterical curse against the leprosy villagers still lingered like ghosts in every ventilation duct in the depths of the nest city, never restless.

The estrangement between the residents of Chaocheng and the leprosy villagers is too deep.

It's easier said than done to get them to work hand in hand!

When Meng Chao heard this, he could only sigh in his heart, he originally thought that the fire that happened in Chaocheng in his previous life and caused hundreds of thousands of lives was really just an accident.

Even if it is not an accident, but a conspiracy of a strange beast, as long as the thief captures the king and kills the strange beast, it can completely solve the problem.

It was not until this moment, with an in-depth understanding of the current situation of Chaocheng and Leprosy Village, that he knew that the so-called "Golden Tooth Nest City" was simply the most acute and profound contradiction in the development of the entire Dragon City for half a century.

The nest is like a volcano stuffed with hedron bombs.

It's easy to extinguish a tangible fire.

Killing the demon god "Vortex" may not be impossible.

But if you want to extinguish the anger that has accumulated in the hearts of the leprosy villagers and the people at the bottom of Chaocheng for decades, completely resolve the contradictions in Chaocheng, and then change the future of the entire Dragon City, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky!

In the midst of coughing one after another, Meng Chao fell into deep thought.

Aggie was like a little mouse stained with oil, using his hands and feet together, and got through several homeless people.
