If you follow the road from the 53rd arrondissement to the capital district, you will indeed have to pass through the 27th arrondissement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, if you take the road to District 24 as Cold Moon originally planned, you will be further and further away from District 27.

After the fifty-third district, even if you enter the plain area, the agglomeration area in this area becomes denser, and the population gradually increases. When there are more floating people, the state of the road is better than that of the apartment, at least the road is not full of weeds - the more people walk, the more the road is like a road.

The three of them walked along the deserted road for two days, and in the middle met a group of people who had returned to District 53 in groups, and learned that they would be in District 71 after three days of walking.

District 71 is a very special district within the Republic. It is said that when it was first designed, the plan was to build a large gathering area next to each prefecture-level city. However, the financial resources of various places are different, and the execution capacity is also different, so in addition to the location is more important, so almost all the large agglomeration areas are concentrated in the economically developed areas, and the agglomeration areas built in remote areas and economically underdeveloped areas are rarely able to reach the level of second-level civilization.

But in the later stages of the construction of the agglomeration, there was a sudden wave of opposition across the country, and people believed that these clandestine urban areas were a waste of taxpayers' money. It is the responsibility of the government to protect its people from attack, not to waste financial and material resources on shelters.

This argument was quite inflammatory, and even many government workers shared it, so the opposition quickly escalated into mass incidents, and in the end, a considerable number of agglomerations were not completed on time, and when the disaster came, these agglomerations did not function as they should, as is the case of District 71.

Strictly speaking, District 71 should be considered a city ruin, but unlike those that have been artificially abandoned, the people in this vicinity have nowhere to go, and in the end they still have to gather near this gathering area that they have obstructed, and endure the consequences of being the masters of their own homes.

It is said that the first generation of the 71st District was quite dissatisfied with the government of the Republic, and felt that even if it was obstructed by the people at that time, as a government, it should use force to force the construction instead of stopping the construction because of the opposition of the people, in short, the people have stupid power, and everything is the government's pot.

For this reason, the security situation in Area 71 was quite unstable for a time, and the local government had no prestige and was forced to evacuate several times. This chaotic situation lasted for more than ten years before it was weakened by the continuous deterioration of the living environment.

Although those who survived had already realized that being the masters of their own homes could not make their lives better, none of them would give up their possible benefits, and they fought with each other for possible future benefits, and even ignored whether they could survive the current embarrassment.

Eventually, when the population had decreased to a certain extent, Area 71 re-stabilized, but this stability was not the norm in other agglomerations. The stability of Area 71 is based on the exhaustion of all people.

This situation has even been included in the textbooks of the Academy of Sciences' social science research institute, which has become a model for the central government's assessment of the level of lower-level agglomerations, and is used to study the impact of declining population size and quality of life on people's political needs.

For fighters like Leng Yue who carry out special missions, they usually do not take the initiative to approach a chaotic place like Area 71, mainly because this is a place where there is no king's law, and the behavior of residents is difficult to predict, and it is easy to cause accidents if they approach rashly. Contrary to what most people think, the more specific the task is, the more the executive hates the accident, and of course no one wants to get into trouble.

However, they were not going to go around it this time, because District 71 is very large, including the old city and the new city that has not been built, and it will take too much time to get around, and it is not low.

District 71 is said to be large, not because of its infrastructure, but because of the distribution of its inhabitants. Usually the residents of a certain agglomeration area will spontaneously gather near the main urban area, on the one hand, this kind of local economic activities are abundant, there are many job opportunities, and it is convenient for survival; On the other hand, it is also because the main urban area is the main channel for the circulation of materials, and it is also convenient to obtain daily necessities here.

But the 71st arrondissement is different in that it does not have a unified government, and of course there is no political or economic center, and the inhabitants are evenly distributed in a large area, occupying a considerable amount of territory.

So the day after they met the travelers, they began to see the inhabitants scattered across the plains.

Ding Chen came out of the desert and met all kinds of people along the way, most of them had a very numb attitude towards life, they didn't have any lofty goals, and their only hope was to live. It's rare to have a group of people who work hard to improve the quality of life like an apartment.

But when it came to Seventy-One, he realized how far humans could be numb. The people here don't think about the next day at all, everyone lives in the moment, and lives the life that those petty bourgeois and young people yearn for a long time ago. The only drawback is that these people live a relatively difficult life, basically they want nothing, they are considered absolute proletariat, and I don't know if the petty bourgeoisie can hold on.

The three of them walked silently in a crowd of people who were constantly begging and begging, and from time to time there were unburied bones on the side of the road.

If there were only one or two beggars, Ding Chen wouldn't mind giving them a little food, but seeing such a large group of people, no matter how sluggish he was, he knew that something was wrong. Without discussion, the three of them assumed a defensive posture and quickly passed through the begging crowd.

It may have been seen that these three men were not easy to deal with, so the beggars stopped after a short follow. Ding Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with palpitations: "I'm really worried that those women and children will pounce on them, and they won't really shoot." ”

"Why can't you shoot?" Leng Yue asked suspiciously, "If you are entangled by them, even a child may stab you." ”

Ding Chen was speechless for a moment, frowned and said, "Will this be the case?" ”

"Do you think the bones on the side of the road are starving to death?" Leng Yue sneered: "If you want to pass safely, you can either walk together like those people we met yesterday, or follow the car like that Zhang Ye and pass secretly." Otherwise, do you think Zhang Lu would be reluctant to get a car for his son? ”

Ding Chen opened his mouth, and then said dejectedly: "I thought they didn't drive because there was no place to charge on the road." ”

"Don't you know that there is another kind of car in the world that uses fuel?" Leng Yue said: "Even if it is an electric car, can't he bring two more sets of batteries?" ”

As he spoke, there was a shout in the distance, and it seemed that a woman was calling for help.

The three of them glanced at each other, and Ding Chen shrugged helplessly, "You have to take a look, right?" He said, "What if it's true?" ”
