Chapter 2 The law of the jungle

Several high-rise buildings rise to the top. It's not a European classical style, it's more like the ultimate fortress from ancient Rome, bright and brightly lit.

In the middle of the complex, a giant tree in the sky came into view, the main trunk of the sky was submerged into the white clouds, and it was impossible to see it at a glance, and the countless branches scattered from the sky, with endless green, covered the entire fortress, like a giant umbrella in the sky, protecting the whole city. Countless flying figures around the city traveled between the sky and the ground, making the entire fortress lively.

This is the super refuge of the prestigious world...... War Bastion.

After entering the space passage, Mo Tian soon came to this mysterious science city.

Like the international metropolises of the past, the prosperity of this city is irreplaceable, even compared to the magic capital of China before the cataclysm. With the endless flow of streets and traffic, the whole city seems to be full of modern atmosphere.

The flying cars flying in the sky, the weather airships flying high in the sky, and the countless electronic screens hanging on the building are broadcasting all kinds of daily life, echoing each other with the noisy flow of people below, which is very lively.

"It seems that this place is well managed, and I can't see the weather after the disaster at all."

Mo Tian followed the middle-aged man, scanning everything along the way, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It stands to reason that after the cataclysm, even if the system and civilization are re-established, the mental damage cannot be recovered in a short period of time, and the atmosphere of "sadness" will be filled everywhere.

However, this part of the city does not. Not only is there no depression and sadness after the disaster, but there is a thriving atmosphere, and people do not see a trace of pessimism when they walk on the streets.

"It must have been done by some big man, right?" Mo Tian asked curiously at the middle-aged man. In his impression, there are only two people in the world who can gather such a high public opinion and govern such a prosperous city in a short period of time.

Even after hearing Mo Tian's words, the faint smile on the middle-aged man's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a touch of disdain and ridicule.

"Nice? It's just a faΓ§ade. ”

Well? Idea?

Mo Tian blinked, and some doubts appeared in his heart.

"You'll find out later." Just as he wanted to inquire carefully, the middle-aged man interrupted what he was about to say, and his face didn't seem to look very good.

"Could it be that kind of thing really happened......

Mo Tian looked at the middle-aged man whose face changed slightly, his eyes were half-narrowed, looking at the crowd of people flowing in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mysterious smile. It seems that a certain idea in his mind seems to be being verified.

Sure enough, it was exactly what he expected.

After passing through the dense crowds, the flow of people passing by them began to thin out, and in the end there were very few. The surrounding scenery has also slowly shifted from the bustling center of science to the suburbs surrounded by countless acres of farmland and temperature control sheds.

Countless men and women, dressed in the crude single clothes worn by humans centuries ago, touched the sweat on their heads, and shuttled through this acre after acre of fields. The dark skin, but the weak body that the wind blows, seems to prove that they have not experienced such a hard life before.

If Mo Tian didn't guess wrong, these peasants who were busy in the fields at this time may have been elites engaged in all walks of life in the past, and there were even some rich people.

"Hurry up! If you don't hurry up and complete the mission, you won't have anything to eat today! ”

A rugged-looking soldier stood at the edge of the field, shouting coldly into the field.

Under the soldier's cheers, the civilians who were working hard with their heads down lowered their heads, and their movements were a little faster.

"Mom, I want to eat." A ten-year-old girl who was following the woman to work in the fields lifted her mud-stained little face, her eyes full of tears of grievance.

"Well, you can rest for a while now, and we'll go to dinner when Mommy is done...... Ang, good. The woman on the side stretched out her mud-stained palm, stroked the girl's face slightly, and said with a smile.

"Hmm......" The girl held back the tears in her eyes, nodded, and instead of crying loudly like ordinary girls, she calmed down.

In the last days, it is not only the strength but also the will that human beings will transform.

The woman put the girl aside, and she planted the grass while she hoeed the weeds, and took the little girl's job on herself, and the speed of her hands was a little faster, and her skin became paler and paler from the sun.

And the rugged soldiers who stood not far from their mother and daughter took these in their eyes, looked at each other coldly, and didn't say a word.

He didn't really care that his mother took the girl's job for himself, because for them, as long as the workload of these people was met, it was the same who was in charge.

As for the sympathy that human beings should have in their hearts...... I have long been accustomed to seeing each other coldly day after day.

However, their indifference does not mean that no one can watch it the same.

The middle-aged man who came with Mo Tian turned blue when he saw this scene, stepped forward with a black face, stood beside the soldier, and roared gloomily.

"Is this your mission? Even such a poor mother and daughter refused to let go! There is no sympathy for human nature anymore, and there is nothing to talk about defending the country. ”

When the soldier saw the middle-aged man coming, he immediately bowed and replied in a low voice.

"I've seen my husband kill my lord."

The middle-aged man let out a cold snort.

"No, I can't afford to be polite to people like you."

The rugged soldier's face showed a look of helplessness, and he said seriously.

"Master Husband, I explained to you last time, this is a task assigned by the above, no matter men, women, old and young, as long as no one has the qualifications to control within four generations of the family, they must be reduced to the lowest slaves, and no one is exempt."

Really.

Hearing the soldier's words, a long-expected smile appeared on the corner of Mo Tian's mouth who was standing on the side.

As he originally thought, in the last days, with the creation of such a glorious world, there will inevitably be countless human rights sacrifices. The law of the jungle has always been rampant in nature, and how can it be an exception here.

Retaining the living force that can fight, and the rest of the civilians are used as slaves, this is indeed very much in line with the decision of the upper echelons of the last days.

"Then you can't bear to just look at it? You should have seen that the girl's mother has been infected with the wind and cold, and if it continues like this, her life will not be ......" The middle-aged man asked in a low voice with a dark face.

However, before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a rugged soldier.

"If you have any questions, you can ask the Minister of Logistics. It really doesn't make sense to embarrass my little non-commissioned officer here. Even if I wanted to do it now, the people above wouldn't agree. The rugged soldier said in a deep voice.

There was no way, he received a death order. If this order is not carried out, it will soon be sent to ban his position, and he will be in the field.

If it weren't for this reason, he would also want to put some water and give their mother and daughter a way to live, after all, he is also a human being, how could he be indifferent when he sees this scene.

At this moment, on this wide avenue, a galloping flight sound suddenly sounded.

A flying car streaked across the sky and slowly landed in front of Mo Tian and the middle-aged man.

The luxurious titanium doors open slowly.

"Husband, I haven't seen you for a long time."

With one foot on the ground, I saw a young man wearing sunglasses slowly walked out of the car and smiled at the middle-aged man.

"Rose!" The middle-aged man's face was dark, and he almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth. How could he not know the young man in front of him, if it weren't for some reason, he would have wanted to kill the other party a long time ago.

"You still dare to appear in front of me!"

The young man in sunglasses smiled, not caring about the threat of the middle-aged man, and laughed loudly.

"If this is the case, why don't I dare to appear in front of you? Everyone knows that the division of positions in our war fortress is very clear, and there is no interference with each other. You're guarding the gates of the war fortress, I'm in charge of logistics, so why can't I see you...... Ha ha. ”

The young man stopped laughing wildly, stared at the middle-aged man seriously, and said unceremoniously.

"Although your position is much better than mine, why should I be afraid of you. There is the decree set by the Lord of the East, even if it is ranked as one of the Seven Saints, it is not allowed to meddle in other departments, this is something that the whole war fortress knows, why do you bother to bluff me. ”

Hearing the young man's words, the middle-aged man's face turned black and white, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Mo Tian basically understood. Although the strength of middle-aged men is strong, and their positions are much better than those of young people, because of a certain regulation, they cannot overstep their responsibilities and meddle in other departments. I think it's a restriction set by some high-level people who are particularly powerful.

However, Mo Tian felt that this drunkard uncle was too stupid, and there were at least ten ways to clean up the young man in front of him, so how could it be his turn to show off his might in front of him.

"I'll talk to you about it today, I still have business to do."

looked at the middle-aged man with a black face and didn't say a word, and glanced at Mo Tian who was standing not far behind him, then turned around, looked back at the vast fields with a smile, and said with a smile.

"Lucky for you today, the lab needs a test subject, and the candidate is selected from your area."

As soon as the young man's words fell, the crowd gathered below was in an uproar.

The civilians who have been squeezed to the extreme, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and talk a little.

"Rose, you did it on purpose!" The middle-aged man stared at the young man with a dark face and squirted the words from between his teeth.

Human experimentation, no matter what era it is, does not belong to any compliment, and now, in the environment of cataclysm, human experimentation is more cruel than ever, it can be called ten deaths, and the chosen ones are almost certain to die.

No one wants this quota to fall on their heads, even if their status is no different from that of slaves.

Human beings have dignity and will not swerve until death, and they are not here to live now.

Dirt-stained cheeks looked at each other in fear, and no one wanted this place to fall on them.

"Hey, what do you think?" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the young man smiled cruelly, and then his gaze passed through the crowd and fell straight on the mother and daughter who had pleaded with the middle-aged man before, pointing his finger straight at them.

"It's you, come out for me."

At the end of the finger was the mother next to the little girl, whose face was white, as if she couldn't believe the result.

After the young man's words came out, the crowd once again heard the sound of discussion, and then the mother was unknowingly pushed out by the crowd despite the middle-aged man's extremely dark face.

Mo Tian was not surprised by this scene, if these people didn't push the woman out, it would be themselves who might replace her.

"Mom, Mom, don't go......"

When the mother was pushed out, the little girl and her mother's tightly held hands were pulled apart by the crowd, and suddenly there was a cry of the girl.

The mother's pale face had fallen into a stupor, and her already sick body could not withstand the push of the crowd at all, and soon came to the front of the crowd.

"My lord, please let us go, I have a daughter to take care of. If I'm gone, she'......"

After a long time, looking at the young man standing in front of him, the woman suddenly collapsed, knelt directly on the ground, crying and begging, and just wanted to step forward to hug the young man's leg, but was ruthlessly kicked away by the soldier standing next to the young man, and the weak body flew out directly.

"Don't talk nonsense to Lao Tzu, it's your honor for Lao Tzu to choose you, and if you beep again, you will take your daughter away too." The young man walked up contemptuously and kicked the woman in the chest, ruthlessly to the extreme.

Wow......

Woowoo......

The miserable cries of the woman and the girl echoed across the field.

"Noise!" Hearing the cry of the mother and daughter, the young man frowned slightly and said coldly. "Stunge, take away."

The next moment, the soldier next to him went up directly and punched the woman in the chest, the latter's crying stopped abruptly, and the whole person fell directly, and then was pulled by the soldier by the back and dragged to the young man's side.

As for the little girl crying in the crowd, she was lucky. A soldier just went up and just wanted to knock him out, but he was thrown out by a middle-aged man who didn't know when he rushed over.

"Rose, if you really want to break the net, I'll let it go today."

Fu Ji's eyes widened at him, and his cold pupils stared at the young man, accompanied by a murderous intent. There was no doubt that if the young man forced him to take another half step, he would kill the other party without mercy.

Under this terrifying momentum, the young man took two steps back, looking at the middle-aged man's eyes full of fear.

His face changed several times, and the young man thought about it for a while, and then he raised his head, forced out a smile, and said in an unkind tone.

"Husband, today I will give you a face, and I will not touch this girl's hand. But you remember to me that I am the boss here, and no one dares to go against me! ”

In the end, he still chose to take a step back, since his goal of establishing power has been achieved, there is no need to push too hard. The other party is one of the seven saints of the war fortress, one of the seven strongest people in the war fortress, if you really force the other party to be anxious, then it will be completely over.

The reason why he dared to shout with the other party before was entirely because of a mean law protecting him. But if the other party really ignores this law and wants to kill him, then taking his life is also a matter of blink of an eye.

"Let's go!" With a vicious remark, Rose turned and left, and the soldier next to him immediately dragged the woman's body to follow.

"Mom...... Mommy ......"

The little girl's cry became more and more tragic, and the shadow of the husband's face in front of her changed several times, and the raised arm stretched out and lowered several times, and finally watched Rose and the others drift away.

It's not that he doesn't want to save the woman together, it's really too much to pay, if the two really turn their faces this time, he will soon be judged by that one, and in the end he may not even be able to protect the little girl behind him. In this case, he can only save one person is one person.

Young Rose slowly walked past Mo Tian's side, and when he saw Mo Tian with a smile on his face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a grim smile.

"I advise you not to get too close to him, lest you be harmed by the pond fish."

In just one sentence, the meaning of his warning was clearly expressed, and it was obvious that Rose did not have a good impression of Mo Tian who came over with his husband.

Mo Tian only smiled at the former's warning, and said a sentence that was completely invisible: "I used to hear that Rose, the minister of logistics, was young and promising, handsome and chic, but today I really deserved his reputation. ”

The Logistics Department is one of the eight departments directly under the Auxiliary War Department, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Auxiliary Warfare, and as the minister, Ross is the son of Luo Lun, the Minister of Auxiliary Warfare, and his right is naturally a very human minister. Long before he came, Old Man Fu had analyzed the situation of the war fortress with him, so Mo Tian had learned a little.

The hypocritical smile on Rose's face was a little stronger, and he patted Mo Tian on the shoulder, but Mo Tian just looked at him with a smile.

"It's good if you know, think about it, it's better to follow me than to follow that waste."

Mo Tian smiled and nodded, signaled, and gave half of the latter's body to pass.

Mo Tian's behavior, in the eyes of others, is no different from showing goodwill, and people with a discerning eye will feel that Mo Tian has chosen to stand in Ross's camp.

Sure enough, when Rose saw Mo Tian who was half of his body, he looked at each other and smiled, patted Mo Tian on the shoulder, and walked past him.

"Congratulations, you're not too stupid."

After Rose left, Mo Tian turned around and looked at the field in front of him, in the direction of the crying girl, and didn't know what he was thinking in his half-squinted eyes, so he watched quietly, quietly.

As soon as Ross left, the supervising soldiers immediately urged the civilians in a group to scatter and continue their farming work.

He even directly bypassed the husband and drove away the civilians around him, completely ignoring the latter's face.

The husband could only turn pale, silently watching the soldier take the little girl away from him and devote herself to hard labor again. It's not that he doesn't want to help, but he can't help, the little girl has lost her mother, and if she doesn't work anymore, she won't even have anything to eat.

The law of the fortress of war is so cruel, the rule of the jungle is even more terrible than the outside.
