Chapter 59: Getting Better
After winning the title of King of the Hunt, no one celebrated them.
Only one of the staff of Future City reluctantly invited them out of the cage of the Colosseum and let them return to the three-bedroom, two-hall dormitory.
Seeing such a result, Professor Wu's face darkened, and he originally wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, but who knew that these people were so fateful that they were fine. Moreover, it also left a reputation for courage and good fighting from the city lord. Even, the city lord of Future City has already made up his mind to win these four people over at the cost of washing balls.
Originally, he was under the fence, not to mention that the city lord of the future city had a higher status in the organization than him, and he had nothing to do about it.
Zhang Xingmin: They don't know these inside stories yet, but they can find out that their life in the future city is a good one......
For example, most of the people who entered Future City with them were still struggling with life and death, and some had even become lonely ghosts, or supper for beasts. Only they returned to the apartment.
The apartment building, which used to be full of people, is now empty, and it is completely unclear that it was still crowded with people just a few days ago. Now only occasionally people enter and exit, and some people have escaped death, from the arena or out, but they are also covered in bruises.
Putting aside those who are trapped in the gladiatorial arena, after all, those people are just the "dolls" of the future city owner, and they are actually not human here. Even among the lowliest slaves in Future City, the Falcon Squad is lucky.
There are city lords who are indirectly covered, and no one has ever dared to arrange dangerous or heavy physical work for them. Other slaves had to hang a wire and go down to the bottom of the future city, where it touched the ground, to repair or build new buildings and rail transit systems that had already been built, but they didn't need it; Other slaves needed to go to the machine shop to do heavy manual work, they didn't need to; Other slaves needed to go to a pharmaceutical factory or a chemical factory, and they didn't need it either.
Because those jobs are too dangerous, these four people, but the people who are in the eyes of the city lord, will soon be able to become quasi-citizens and even citizens of the future city. What are you kidding, how dare they dare to dare those dirty, tiring and life-threatening jobs.
Afraid of being tired, afraid of stumbling, afraid of thirst and hunger...... Although you don't have to serve like the uncle, you must not be a little lazy, just a few days ago, the city lord also asked how the four new young people were, what are the amazing performances.
The lord of the castle is the first time to ask the newcomers, and it seems that the guess is correct, these people are indeed not ordinary. You see, as slaves, although they need to commute to and from work on time, they never work overtime and stay up late, and they can even take a lazy nap during working hours.
When everyone thinks you're different, sometimes even you may believe that you're really special. At this time, Zhang Xingmin and they were facing such a situation.
Of course, rational like them, they are not stupid enough to believe that they are the chosen ones, and they have the aura of the protagonist like in the novel, with various plug-ins and various buff bonuses. After all, they have been in Future City for more than ten days, although they are indeed luckier than other newcomers, but they are also restricted everywhere, supervised everywhere, and have no freedom at all. Nor do I see any opportunities to go further.
Of course, they didn't care about this, they knew that the purpose of their coming to Future City was to find out the details of Future City and collect information for destroying the enemy's base. They can also take advantage of this time, no one knows them, and no one pays attention to them, to understand the whole picture of Future City.
Despite the limitations of their hands here, they still have a lot of gains. Through various means, the structure of the future city is generally understood.
The entire Future City is one of the core bases of the organization, and it is also an experiment for the organization to control the city in the future, but it is subject to the actual conditions, unlike the location of ordinary cities, close to big rivers, and the terrain is open; Instead, it is located in the mountains.
Since there is no flat land in the depths of Jinji Ridge, in order to expand the usable area of the city, the designers of the future city suspended the entire city and made a huge bracket with stainless steel and other hard metals, which can not only solve the risk of flash floods and debris flows inundating buildings, but also increase the flat area.
On this layer of artificially made flat land, the entire city was built with light and hard metal and a pound of hard tempered glass, instead of using the traditional concrete steel frame structure. Due to the large number of high-rise buildings, in order to minimize commuting time, high-rise buildings are crisscrossed by suspension bridges, giving people a feeling of extending in all directions.
Although the whole city lacks greenery, even the daily supply of grain and vegetables is no longer visible, it looks very cold, and the lighting in many places is not good. But I have to say that it's really hard to hate living in a place like this.
As for the functional zoning of the city, they have not yet fully figured it out, because different levels of people have different permissions and different places that can be reached. For example, strangers who have just entered Future City basically have no personal freedom, they are all imprisoned in the gladiatorial arena, various factories and other places, it is like being in prison, or even worse than being in prison, and the prisoners outside can at least survive in prison.
Although the slaves like them now, in terms of food, shelter, and work intensity, are much stronger than those of the old society, they can only move within a limited range, with the building they live in, no more than 5 kilometers horizontally, and vertically located in the lower 1/3 of the entire future city. When it really goes beyond that, it's nothing more than going out to work and keeping a close watch.
Although the actual conditions are very unfavorable, even if the Falcon team does not have the ability to see the sky, it is almost the same, and they have successfully evaded the security personnel on several occasions and secretly stayed in the restricted area.
The entire lower 1/3 is occupied by slave people, but it is divided into numerous small areas, producing most of the necessities of life in the entire Future City. Some areas are particularly densely populated, and the tower area where they are located is considered to be in good condition.
The middle 1/3 is the range of activities of ordinary citizens and quasi-citizens, and the number of people only accounts for about 30% of the entire Future City, and the living conditions are roughly equivalent to the middle class outside. They are mainly responsible for some work that connects the upper and lower levels, including maintaining law and order in Future City, and the auditors they met when they entered Future City lived in this area.
On the top, it is the real core of the future city, and ordinary people can't go up. I heard that the area is funnel-shaped, and the center of the future city is located to the end, with a huge garden, which used to be a hilltop.
In addition to these, they also found a lot of off-limits places, interspersed with three living quarters. I heard that the high-level boss can't get in! They're looking for an opportunity to go inside and have a look......
