Chapter 4 Why is the gap between people so big?

"Crunch!"

With the soft sound of the iron door being pushed open, Xu Annian walked into a new corridor and began to look around aimlessly.

I don't know how many layers he has sneaked up to, although he has been on the ship for a while, but because he is usually constantly hiding, his treasure exploration path has been greatly restricted.

However, Xu Annian was not without gains, and slowly he also figured out a truth. It is on this ship that there is a great deal of grading.

For example, in the mezzanine floor, including the little girl, it was basically an area with a relatively low status, so many people were crowded together in a disorderly manner, and even the corridors and corridors were crowded. At the same time, there are not so many sanctioners to manage and inspect.

But as Xu Annian continued to explore, the more he went up, the more he discovered, the search area of the guards gradually became stricter, and the number of sanctioners increased exponentially, as long as he was not careful, he would be discovered.

This caused Xu Annian's actions to be devastated, and he had to be more cautious so as not to expose himself as a pariah.

However, although the guards are strict, compared with the condition of the lower floors, as the ship floors get higher and higher, the environment and treatment have also improved significantly.

In the corridor where Xu Annian is now, there are almost no people resting, the whole has become clean and tidy, and the surrounding decorations have begun to be luxurious, and even the handles that can be seen are painted in gold.

Take the wall lamp used for lighting next to Xu Annian as an example, if you secretly take it out to find a suitable buyer, it is not a problem to replace it with a few catties of pork to satisfy your hunger.

You know, many people may not know what pork tastes like in their lives. After all, the wild boars in the wild jungle are extremely ferocious, and they are not something that these powerless untouchables can kill.

As for the domestic pigs in captivity, hehe, I advise you not to worry about it. It was the private property of the lords and the upper echelons of a certain status, and the untouchables were not entitled to eat it, and they did not even have the opportunity to drink soup. So if you are a common person, you should go to sleep while you are not starving, after all, there is everything in your dreams!

Of course, Xu Annian has never eaten pork, at this time, he is like an old farmer who has never seen the world, looking around in this corridor, touching the wall lamp here, knocking on the floor over there, it is also fresh and happy.

Looking at the orderly and aligned doors of the small single rooms on both sides, I couldn't help but sigh secretly

"Damn, why is there such a big gap between people and people!"

Then he touched his shriveled stomach casually, and couldn't help but regret his decision to sneak up on the spur at the beginning.

I still remember that it was three days ago, Xu Annian secretly ran to the beach to hang out, ready to try his luck to see if he could pick up a few dead fish on the shore at low tide and boil some fish soup to make up for the old man Huang.

The old man may be old, and he has been coughing for some reason these days, and he hasn't eaten seriously for several days. Xu Annian was anxious in his eyes, what he was most worried about had happened, the old man was sick.

But how can the untouchables say that they go to the doctor, they don't deserve it, the sick person depends on whose life is greater, you will win if you get through, and if you can't survive, it can be regarded as liberation, survival of the fittest, that's it.

recalled that something was wrong with Old Man Huang or when Xu Annian stole a small handful of rice from a blacksmith's house and was about to go back to boil some rice porridge and open a meat meal.

White rice is a novelty for them, and most of the land is now too barren to be used for cultivation. The two of them may not be able to eat it once during the Chinese New Year, according to the past, if the old man Huang wants to see the white rice porridge, he will already drink two-thirds of it alone. But this time, the old man who lacked front teeth was surprisingly quiet, he didn't drink a sip, just looked at the steaming rice porridge and shook his head.

Xu Annian secretly sensed that something was wrong in his heart, and he began to worry in his heart. As time passed, the old man not only did not get better, but also began to cough, and finally coughed up blood.

This moment really frightened Xu Annian. After thinking about it, I really didn't cut it, so I planned to come to the beach.

He rarely came to this area of the sea, because it was already part of the Badlands, and many untouchables would be caught by the sanctioners and come here to fish for the lord. Then they won't be allowed to enter the territory, until they are tired and thrown everywhere, cruel to the extreme. But now there is no way, for the sake of Old Man Huang, he can only take this risk.

Coincidentally, when I was walking around the beach, I suddenly saw more than a dozen sanctioners escorting many untouchables to gather together to watch the excitement.

Xu Annian is a typical master who drills where there is a bustle, how can he miss this situation, so he hurriedly ran and hid behind the rocks, and followed everyone to look at it.

Listening to the gossip of the people around me, I gradually understood what was going on.

It turned out that the rare Hope was about to go to sea.

This can be considered big news for people who are usually boring and repetitive. The Hope hadn't been to sea for several years, after all, the energy needed to move was unimaginable. This operation must be something big.

The Hope is the most valuable shelf in the hands of the Red Armor. It can be said that it is the façade, and it is precisely because of this ship that the Red Armor Army was upgraded to a big lord in one fell swoop.

In this era, when the number of people in a lord's territory exceeds 50,000, it is qualified to be called a large territory. And the base of 50,000 is also a reflection of strength.

With the frequency of wars and the harsh environment, the number of people on the continent has plummeted to less than one percent of its heyday.

Clear-eyed people can see better. There will be fewer in the future.

There are only so many resources that there is no way to provide for more people to live, so death is staged every day. An army of 10,000 people is basically the limit.

Speaking of which, the development of the Red Coats is also a legendary story. At the beginning, it was just a group of untouchables of a few dozen people, but later it occupied a large oil field by chance, and exchanged oil with others for various resources, so that it could be regarded as slowly gaining a foothold. With the new leader ascending to the throne, the Hope was snatched into his hands. Then, he continued to loot the products of the vehicles left over from the past, relying on oil resources, and greatly exerted his mobility in the war, only to win in the decisive battles that followed, and became the master of the side competing for hegemony.

Of course, Xu Annian didn't pay attention to it so much, after all, this kind of territorial struggle didn't involve himself. So he was more concerned about whether the Hope could make something out of it.

Coincidentally, looking at the ignorant suspicions of the untouchables chattering below, the ostentatious opening of a cheap-mouthed sanctioner was clearly heard by Xu Annian. It turned out that the Hope was preparing to sail to the legendary Pure Land.

Hearing the news, everyone was shocked. His eyes were full of envy.

The sanctioner who leaked the news may have been on a whim and continued to talk. said that this trip moved the hearts of many powerful people, and countless people dragged their relationships to board the Hope. Some people even went bankrupt just to buy a ticket to the Pure Land. The people who can sit on it are basically either rich or expensive, and there is no ordinary person.

As for the untouchables who want to go up, don't even think about it. Before you get close to the Hope, countless crossbow arrows will fly by, leaving you dead without knowing how to die.

At that time, Xu Annian's heart moved after hearing this, looking at the big iron bumps on the sea in the distance, thinking that he was going to go over and steal a few treasures and come back, maybe he could really find a crappy Lang Zhong to show the old man.

With this thought, his heart was no longer calm, and he hesitated for a long time before he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, quietly retreated, and ran down the woods towards the Hope.
