Liang Chu stood at the corner of the street in a daze, not knowing the direction, and didn't even know where to go next.

Behind her, a steady stream of hybrids walked by, and many spotted her, staring at her like a monster for a few moments, then turning their heads and continuing on their way.

Liang Chu lowered his head and took a few steps towards the wall.

Lu En found her embarrassment, turned back, without saying a word, took off his black sweatshirt and went to her head hood, Liang Chu took it, and he didn't care about the size, he put it on in twos and threes, and then pulled up his hat to cover his shoulder-length hair.

The sweatshirt is very large, Liang Chu was not short originally, but he still almost reached the knee when he wore it. Thankfully, her small face was almost completely covered by a hat, revealing only a pointed chin, and with a mask, it didn't look so obtrusive on the busy street.

Lu En only had a black short-sleeved T-shirt left, striding in front, he really loved to wear black! Liang Chu couldn't help but sigh.

The streets were crowded, Liang Chu had never been here, and it was easy to get lost if she didn't pay attention to it, she trotted all the way to follow him, and her eyes didn't dare to look around, for fear that if she didn't keep up with a wrong eye, the uncle would throw her here alone and leave by herself.

Walking through the street, and then turning and crossing two paths, the previous lively scene disappeared, and in front of me were dilapidated residential buildings, crooked and fallen buildings of more than a dozen floors, the same colorful, but the walls were so mottled that the original color could hardly be seen. Liang Chu even doubted that these buildings that had been in disrepair for a long time would collapse in front of his eyes, which was really ...... It's miserable.

There were a few bewitchingly dressed mixed-race women standing on the side of the road, giggling and laughing, scantily clad and cheap, looking like low-class prostitutes who were ready to go out to solicit customers, several people looked at Lu En casually, although the young man was very handsome, but seeing that he looked like a poor student and cold, he immediately turned his head with disdain. didn't bother to look at Liang Chu, and let her pass by them.

In addition to prostitutes and coolie beggars, from time to time a few mixed-race men and women with haggard faces and distorted bodies came out of the building. Without exception, they were dressed in rags and walked with difficulty, everyone's face was hopeless and gray, and it seemed difficult for the colored eyeballs to even turn slightly, they didn't show the slightest concern for Liang Chu's appearance, no, not for Liang Chu's appearance, but even if it was the end of the world at the moment, they would not see a trace of waves on their painful and numb faces. Presumably, apart from waiting for death, for these people, there will be no other purpose for living.

Liang Chu knew that these were all type C people who had already had genetic diseases, because the fusion of the two genes was not good, causing more and more serious diseases in their offspring. Such a person has no other possibility of curing than constantly undergoing repair surgery.

But such frequent surgeries may not even be affordable for ordinary human families, let alone these hybrids who do not enjoy medical insurance.

For these people, although they have a long life of hundreds of years, they will be plagued by lifelong diseases since the collapse of their genes - various types of cancer, blood diseases, strange diseases and complications with no possibility of cure...... Medicine can only relieve the pain, and gradually, in addition to labor, they will lose even the ability to take care of themselves, but they will not die immediately, but can only spend the rest of their lives in endless pain, until the moment when the oil runs out and the lamp runs out.

Even in the colony of mixed breeds, Type C people are also discriminated against, and no normal mix is willing to associate with them, especially if no one hires them who are already sick.

They often hide in their own small rooms, barely surviving on the government's meager handouts, like rats living in packs, comforting each other and waiting for the day when they will surely die.

It is only when they go out to receive relief or painkillers that they will go outside and endure the inquiring or sympathetic gaze of others. For ordinary Type B people who can barely make ends meet, it is okay to have compassion for them, but it is impossible to help them accept. After all, it is an unbreakable truth that poverty is good for oneself at any time.

.

Liang Chu's gaze swept over them gently, and as a doctor's instinct, with inquiry, he quickly lowered his eyes again.

It's better to be careful in such a place, mixed people are humble and disgruntled in the face of humans who enjoy the best sun, air, and social resources, don't mess with them, after all, this is someone's territory.

There is no day and night in the underground city, all work is divided into AM time and PM time, now is the beginning of AM time, there are more and more people in this residential building who have slept enough to come out to work and activities, and there are many people who follow PM time just got off work and are dragging tired steps to go home, and there are gradually more people in the narrow lane, Liang Chu lowered his head and carefully avoided pedestrians.

Lu En also subconsciously slowed down and looked back at the thin little girl. This guy was always looking around from time to time, and immediately he was in a hurry to search for himself in the crowd, which made him very bored and helpless.

Alas, I knew that letting her follow would only drag her back, but at that time, she didn't hesitate to grab herself and jump down, obviously so timid, she screamed all the way when she came down, and she actually wanted to rely on that small body to protect herself, she was really stupid!

Thinking of this, he sighed and stood where he was, waiting for her to follow.

"You're just waiting here." Seeing that she finally squeezed through the crowd and caught up with herself, Lu En looked at her and said.

"What are you going to do?" She looked guarded, like a child who was afraid of being abandoned by adults, and her big round eyes peeked out of her hat and stared at his face closely.

He was angry and irritable, and threw a sentence: "Let you wait here, just wait, is it possible that you want to go in and have a look?" ”

Liang Chu looked around, and it turned out that he was in a small circular square, surrounded by many shops, and a large number of people were moving closer to this area, and then flowing to the already crowded shops.

This is clearly the commercial area of this residential building, with snacks, restaurants, shops, taverns and so on, and the store in front of me has a big Chinese character - "soup" written crookedly on the wall.

It turned out to be a bathhouse! Or is it a cheap hot spring hotel?

Liang Chu understood, nodded and let go of him. If you make yourself so dirty, you must wash it and go back, otherwise this embarrassing appearance will be too noticeable. But as opposed to a bunch of hybrids naked? Liang Chu whispered awkwardly: "I'm not going!" ”

Lu En couldn't help but glance at her with disgust: "What do you think, who wants you to go in, and think that you don't look like this enough to cause trouble?" Wait here, I'll be back in a minute! After saying that, he pointed to the corner of the wall and turned and left.

Liang Churu was amnesty and hurriedly shrank into the corner, looking at Lu En's tall figure and walking towards the bathhouse, this guy must have taken a shower by himself! I hope he remembers that he's still dirty, and even if he comes back he can buy her a dress! But he's stingy, right? She thought it would be better for her not to think too much.

Standing in the corner for a while, bored, Liang Chu began to be curious about the baby's true colors again, and kept raising his head to look around.

This underground city has no sunlight and relies on all kinds of lights everywhere, so everyone's face, no matter what color of skin color, looks like a lack of sunlight. Probably because life is not easy, most of the people are quite thin, although they are tall, they look not vibrant, they just live simply, they are just alive.

Of course, the difficulty of life does not prevent them from having entertainment, for example, there is an open tavern in front, and there are many people who have returned from the night shift sitting densely in it, there are men and women, they should all be workers doing all kinds of rough work, they are giggling and shouting in a language she doesn't understand, laughing from time to time to pick up the cup of dark brown translucent inferior beer in front of them, raise their heads and pour them down.

When the dark liquid in the cup gradually turns into a white foam sticking to the walls of the cup, the owner of the cup will contentedly slam the glass against the bar in front of him, burp hard, and then raise his arm to wipe his mouth. The men would also rub the butt of a girl in a cheap skirt who was still laughing loudly, and then walk away to the laughter and scolding, and go back to the cramped allotted house to sleep with their heads covered, waiting for the next PM time to begin.

Liang Chu watched all this with interest, experiencing the sorrow and joy of others, but he didn't know that when you were peeking at others, someone was also watching you.

Behind the square, an old residential building, which looks gray and yellow, blends with the mottled dark green and crimson buildings around it, and is also an old-fashioned 10-story board house, and the glass of the windows on each floor is just as gray and dirty.

If someone has the heart to take a closer look with a telescope from the building next door, they can also see a hobbling old man behind the nine-story glass struggling to remove a packet of government-distributed nutritional powder from the pantry, and then slowly pour a pile of yellow powder into the porcelain bowl in front of him with a hint of satisfaction on his green cheeks full of furrows.

Behind the glass on the eighth floor was a young girl under twenty years old, sitting at the window, holding a worn-out paper book for literacy, pointing curiously at the words on it and muttering to herself. Paper books have not been republished for more than 100 years, and now they are using the more convenient and curly e-book, which is probably the only book in the family's collection.

In fact, only by crossing this thick layer of glass, you will find that the old man, girl, and books just now do not exist, these are just a realistic projection on the glass, and behind this layer of glass, is sitting the real owner of this residential building, no, even the residential building does not exist, this is a military fortress that extends hundreds of meters more underground, the most cutting-edge military fortress, and this ordinary residential building is just the tip of the iceberg exposed on the surface of this huge iceberg, and its role is probably a watchtower.

On the tenth floor of the watchtower, its owner, a thin man, was seated at the moment, his whole body wrapped in a thick cloak. The bright light outside the window shone on his angular jaw, and only a cold smile could be seen at the corner of his thin lips.

A man behind him was standing up straight, and reported to him with a respectful face: "These are the casualty list of yesterday's No. 16 stronghold, it seems that this stronghold has been exposed, do we still have to ......?"

The man standing by the window raised his hand to interrupt him: "Why not. The frantically they hit us, the more they fear us. ”

The subordinate didn't ask anything more, and immediately "snapped" upright, raised his hand to salute him with a special military salute, and turned around and walked out. Before leaving, he glanced out the window, as lively as ever, nothing special, and he didn't know what the commander was looking at.

Of course, in every battle, big and small, the commander will make the most accurate and rapid response with his keen military judgment, and as his subordinate, there is such a commander, in addition to unconditional obedience, there is also an absolute admiration.

Then, he opened the door and walked out without distraction, thinking that he would immediately gather his subordinates to complete the few orders that the commander had just given.

What he didn't see was that the commander's gaze was falling on the small circular square in the distance, the little human girl hiding in a dirty black sweatshirt on the corner of the street, who was curiously looking around.

He hooked the corners of his lips slightly, then raised his arm and gave a command to the embedded terminal - "Check someone for me......"
