Chapter 116: Searching for People in the West Mountain

The West Mountain Gathering Place is located on the bank of the West Mountain in western Beijing.

At this time, Li Mo was in the third district of the gathering place, in the civilian area.

Human society has never interrupted the division of classes, but it is more intuitive in the last days.

This is how the Nishiyama Gathering Place is divided, divided into three areas. Each region represents a different class. The third area is the lowest-grade resettlement area, and it is naturally the outermost area with the largest area.

Walking on the streets of the third district, beside Li Mo, there was also an evolutionary in military uniform, who was guiding him, it was Zeng Qian in the original Lianghua caravan.

Before separating from the caravan, Li Mo had entrusted the matter of searching for people to Chu Feng. He also agreed with him that if he could catch up, he would return with the caravan.

However, it is not a coincidence that as early as three days ago, Chu Feng had already led the caravan that had completed the transaction and left the Xishan gathering place.

But to Li Mo's surprise, this Zeng Qian actually stayed and waited for him.

However, after some inquiry, Li Mo also figured out the reason why he stayed.

It turned out that since the caravan arrived in Xishan, Chu Feng had tried all his best to help Li Mo inquire about Zhen Ying and Lin Yan's parents, and he was very attentive.

It's just that the heart is on the heart, but in the last days of this person's life as cheap as a dog, the final result is cruel. Lin Yan's family was not found at all, and as for Zhen Ying's parents, although there was news, the news was definitely something that Li Mo did not want to hear.

I heard Li Mo ask Zeng Qian, "How did you find that person?" ”

Zeng Qian said: "Brother Li, didn't you leave photos and detailed information for Xiaofeng at the beginning." After arriving here, Xiaofeng was very concerned about this matter, not only because of the local relationship. I also took people around every day to inquire, and I also made a lot of efforts. I found the woman. ”

Li Mo said: "For my sake, let you bother." Especially you. You also deliberately stayed and waited for me, thank you. ”

Zeng Qian smiled when he heard this: "Brother Li, you are a friend of Team Jiang, so we naturally have to do our best for you." But the key to my stay is that I can't be sure if the woman's message is true. If we don't find this master, if we take her away again, Brother Li, you will be blind when you get here. So as soon as it comes together, I'll just stay and wait for you. ”

Li Mo nodded and didn't say anything more. And walk the streets of the 3rd arrondissement. Looking at a construction site, he also sighed a little.

Because the survivors who are busy working on the construction site at this time can no longer be called workers. Their status was that of slaves, which belonged to the private property of the slave owners.

Compared with Lianghua and Xingcheng, the human composition structure of the Xishan gathering place can be said to be more cruel. Because here, slavery is and legal.

Even the agglomeration side will "contract" some construction projects, such as the one that Li Mo saw now, to those slave owners.

Settlements would pay slave owners grain as payment for their work. and set a date for completion. As for the rest, leave it alone.

In fact, the management of the Xishan gathering place can completely manage it in a coordinated way. Unified recruitment of workers for construction. But in the eyes of those bigwigs here, they obviously feel that it is more worry-free and trouble-free to engage in this kind of managed contracting.

Of course. There must be other reasons for this pattern.

For example, in this agglomeration. The first batch of slave owners were actually some key local officers.

And to be able to make those officers. The transformation into a slave owner was due to the natural geographical advantages of the agglomeration place.

Because not long after the outbreak of the end times, the army here regained a reserve granary not far from here after completing the gathering of vital combat strength.

Therefore, it can be said that compared with other gathering places, Xishan definitely belongs to the "local tyrant" level.

It is precisely because of this that the backbone officers here have accumulated a lot of wealth.

And as there were more and more foreign survivors, those more intelligent officers began to use the food wealth they had accumulated to raise slaves. And instead of being limited by the agglomeration, this momentum has evolved into the current development model.

Slave owners used slaves to create wealth at minimal expense. To put it mildly, this is a kind of cruel exploitation by vested interests, and it is the most intuitive embodiment of the regression of the human social structure.

And ordinary survivors, after arriving at the Xishan gathering place, if they don't have a skill, in order to survive for a long time, they have to go to be slaves.

It can be said that here, such as mechanics, doctors, etc., civilian survivors with a decent job are definitely happy.

Even among the common people, it was not uncommon for slightly wealthy families to buy slaves. Human beings, it seems, are keen to seek superiority over their own kind.

Looking at the front again, Li Mo followed Zeng Qian to a building. It's also a simple house, but looking at the area it occupies, it's a bit like a kind of warehouse, it's huge.

However, Li Mo knew that this was not a warehouse at all, but a brothel* of the lowest class.

In the whole building, there are one after another, about three square meters of small cubicles, not even a door, only a curtain hanging.

And in each compartment, there is barely a double bed, and as for the women in each compartment, the identity does not need to be explained.

They were all female slaves who belonged to a certain slave owner, and they could only stay in their own small single room every day, day after day, endlessly picking up customers. And to suffer from this devastation is only to obtain the pitiful amount of food every day.

If life is worse than death to describe this kind of female slave, it is not an exaggeration at all. However, not everyone has the courage to face death.

Therefore, it is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled world. Or, it is better to die than to live, but it is more applicable to most of the survivors of the end times.

Zeng Qian is obviously familiar with this place. And as soon as he arrived with Li Mo, he saw a manager at the door of the warehouse, who was "collecting grain and issuing numbers", and after seeing the two of them, he immediately threw the "prostitutes" queuing up to his subordinates, and ran over.

"Brother Zeng is here, are you going to mention someone today?" Just looking at the smiles and stammers on this person's face, it can be seen that he has known Zeng Qian for a long time, and he also knows the purpose of Zeng Qian's coming here.

Zeng Qian was not polite to him, waved his hand and said, "You can bring someone to me now, we have something to ask her." ”

The man didn't ask much questions, but he answered, and turned away.

And Zeng Qian had time to explain to Li Mo: "Brother Li, forgive me, the reason why I didn't ransom people out early is that I am not sure if this woman will help you find someone." ”

Li Mo smiled and nodded, indicating understanding. After all, the other party only claimed to know Zhen Ying's father, and Zeng Qian and Chu Feng really didn't need to redeem people just because of this. Whether what the woman said was true or not, I can't say for sure. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm ashamed that the inferential plot written in the first few chapters is not only considered to be water-injected, but I haven't been able to write it clearly, so that some book friends are more and more confused the more they read it. In the future, I will pay attention to this aspect and try to minimize the description of the theory.

Let me also make a brief summary here, I wrote these chapters to express the reasons for the outbreak of the end times.

The outbreak of the end times is caused by the invasion of some foreign life form. The purpose of the invasion is to obtain the human body and strengthen it through evolution. So for those alien life forms, the earth is a breeding farm, used to breed humans.

As for why I wrote about the age of dinosaurs and prehistoric civilizations, it was not to make up the number of words, but because it was useful. I also mentioned that the collapse of every civilization on Earth is also related to those alien life forms.

That's basically what it means, and the ultimate purpose of alien life forms to breed humans will be slowly revealed in the future.

Finally, I would like to thank my book friends again for their corrections, without which it would be difficult for me to find out how poor my writing and rhythm mastery is. In short, in a word, without you, how can we progress.

Of course, there are also every book friends who rewarded, voted, and silently subscribed to follow my book, thank you.
