The first time he stepped into the city, the first thing Ling Tao smelled was a foul smell, the smell was stinking, almost wanting to make him nauseous, the ground was pitted, there were pitch black puddles everywhere, and the stench was emitted from the red and black sewage in the puddles on the ground.

There is all kinds of garbage everywhere, and sometimes you can see foot-long cockroaches crawling around, and some rotten bones and fur are everywhere, which makes people feel disgusting at a glance.

In some corners, some people are lying numb, curled up, if it is not for the undulating chest, there is no difference from the dead, and occasionally people walk by, all of them have cold expressions and numb eyes, as if they have no thoughts.

The first impression of this place for Ling Tao, if he didn't know that this was Xihe City, where more than 200,000 people lived, he would have thought that this was a ghost town.

"How can you be ...... like this", looking at the scene here, Ling Tao muttered to himself, in a sentence that is not sarcastic, the people here are not as good as animals.

Liang Ping, who was walking in front, was stunned, turned to look at Ling Tao and said in amazement: "Brother Ling Tao, go, what are you still doing in a daze"?

Ling Tao didn't leave, but pointed to the surroundings, especially those who were curled up like dead people in the corners, and asked, "Brother Liang, why do the people here live so miserably?" They are all highly educated people, no matter how bad they are, they can't fall to such a point, and if you look at the surrounding environment, can you live? Sooner or later, something will happen."

Liang Ping was stunned, then smiled, looked at Ling Tao and said, "Brother Ling Tao, I think you are afraid that you have misunderstood something."

"Misunderstanding, how to say"? Ling Tao shook his head and asked, the facts are in front of you, where did the misunderstanding come from?

Liang Ping smiled and pointed to the surrounding environment and said: "Brother Ling Tao, first of all, what you see in your eyes is not what you think, in fact, Xihe City is not what you see, the environment here is quite special, so it has become like this." You see, that building over there, it's a slaughterhouse, of course. Now it is not the cattle that are slaughtered, but the corpses of mutant beasts, and not far ahead, where the prey is acquired, all of which have formed a dirty and messy environment here. Strictly speaking, we have not yet arrived in the residential area, the place where the mutant beasts are slaughtered and the mutant beasts are purchased are not placed in the residential area, what we are afraid of is causing unnecessary trouble, there is a problem with the underground drainage system, and the sewage cannot be discharged, so it is like this, we are all highly educated people, of course, we know the importance of a clean environment for survival and life. That's not the case in a real residential area."

After listening to Liang Ping's introduction, Ling Tao suddenly realized that this was the case, because the corpses of mutant beasts were disposed of nearby and would not be brought to the real residential area, which formed the harsh environment here.

"And, on this road, don't you see a few people at all? That's because it's almost only hunters like us who come here, there's no way. The place to buy mutant beasts is here, and they must come, and other people who are even eating and waiting for death will not come here, for fear of getting sick or something." Liang Ping continued.

Okay, Ling Tao completely understood, to put it bluntly, this is a place dedicated to dealing with the corpses of mutant beasts, because there was a problem with the sewage treatment system, it was made like this, no wonder he saw that the ground was full of bones and fur or something.

Maybe. Dispose of the bones of the mutant beast alone, in addition to protecting these precious resources, I am also afraid that crazy people will come to snatch it regardless of it, after all, hungry and crazy people can do anything.

As Liang Ping said, people with higher education know how important it is to have a clean environment, especially in today's environment, where environmental issues have become a top priority.

It was only at this time that Ling Tao understood that in many post-apocalyptic novels, people living in a world where pigs and dogs are inferior are not realistic at all, do you think, the harsh environment is easy to breed all kinds of germs and insects, once those things mutate, what will they do?

"But, Brother Liang, what's going on with the people around here? Why are they here"? Ling Tao pointed to some walking dead people on the corner of the street and asked puzzledly, since there are no hunters here, why are they here?

Liang Ping looked at the walking corpse-like people around him, shook his head and sighed: "They are all a group of hard-working people, you see, some people who lack arms and legs are former hunters, because they are injured, they can't be self-reliant, they can only eat here and wait for death, sometimes the place where the corpses of mutant beasts are disposed of will discard some unwanted leftovers, which become their food, and some people, because all the family members are dead, feel that life is not interesting, there is something wrong with the head, and they live like this in a trance."

"Then it doesn't matter, what if they die and become the living dead"? Ling Tao said helplessly.

"How can no one care, here, every half an hour, there will be an armed team of twenty people patrolling, will check whether everyone is dead, if they are dead, they will naturally be dealt with as soon as possible, don't underestimate those people at the top, they are more afraid of death, for their own lives, they will even pay attention to every detail", Liang Ping shook his head and said.

Ling Tao was stunned, understood, ordinary people are afraid of death, but some people who sit high on their butts are even more afraid of death, Ling Tao even guessed that for the sake of their own lives, many times those people may compromise with ordinary people, and even act as good people, after all, if someone gives up their lives and commits suicide and becomes a living dead in a corner, it will be a disaster.

Of course, this is relative, those people don't mind compromising on small details, if it really provokes you to threaten him to give it a try!

Following Liang Ping, after his explanation, I realized that in fact, the living environment in Xihe City is not as bad as he imagined, on the contrary, according to Liang Ping, in order to survive, the real living environment in Xihe City, even if it is a slum, I am afraid that it is ten times cleaner than many vaunted civilized cities!

Just imagine, the dirty and messy environment is easy to breed all kinds of cockroaches, rats, maggots, mosquitoes, etc., and other creatures, once mutated, in this densely populated place, it will be disastrous, so that people can not clean up? I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to say that the ground is washed dozens of times a day.

"The books are all deceitful, what is the end of the world, people live pigs and dogs are not as good as it is impossible at all, and even the environment in which they live is not good to clean up, do you think you have lived enough"? Ling Tao smiled bitterly in his heart. (In the case of the environment, the stone closely represents its own point of view, and I wonder how the people described in other novels who almost live in the garbage heap survive.)

Walking here, Ling Tao suddenly stopped and looked at a place on the side of the street in this particularly harsh environment.

To be precise, it was a small place that used to be built by the police on the side of the street, and the reason why Ling Tao paid attention was because this small place was in extremely sharp contrast with the surrounding environment.

Nearly ten meters around this small house, the ground is clean, there is no sewage and garbage at all, the ground is very smooth by a lot of turns, you can imagine that there must be potholes under the bricks, I don't know if there is sewage, but at least the surface is extremely clean, even the bricks seem to have been washed with water.

Especially the small board room, which can be described as a few clean windows, and there is no trace of stain in sight, Ling Tao found that the sanitation he did when he went to school was compared with this small method, it was simply perfunctory, too clean, too clean!

In the small board room, you can see that there are at least ten children crowded inside, all of whom are not very old, the oldest will not be more than ten years old, although the clothes they wear are shabby, they are absolutely clean, there is no stain on them, and compared with the harsh environment around them, the contrast is simply too great.

As if seeing the curiosity in Ling Tao's heart, Liang Ping pointed in that direction and said: "It's all poor children, originally there were only two or three children here, or the original orphanage in Xihe City survived, gradually, many poor children who had no home gathered in this small place, and now, there are a total of thirteen children."

"Why are they so clean"? Ling Tao asked what he wanted to know the most.

"What's so strange about this, in West River City, whether it's ordinary people or those in management, who doesn't know the importance of hygiene? You can not eat food, but the hygiene must be done thoroughly, for this reason, everyone will get laundry detergent, soap and other daily necessities for free, every day will be raided from time to time, if anyone is not good at hygiene, it is very pitiful to be shot, originally this rule only existed in the real residential area, but I don't know why these children have also learned, maybe they are also afraid of death", Liang Ping explained.

After finishing he continued: "They live here, many times the hunters who come in and out see that they are pitiful, and will give them some food, but more, they still rely on the remnants of mutant beasts discarded by the slaughterhouse to live, hey, they are all poor people, don't talk about this, let's deal with the prey first, and then I will take you to the living area, where you will know what it means to be clean, even if you sleep on the street, you don't have to worry about getting dust."

Okay, Ling Tao smiled bitterly, it seems that why people are alive has raised sanitation to the first priority, and the others have to stand aside, if they want to live, they can't even do a good job of sanitation around their lives, and it's a joke to want to live.

However, Ling Tao still felt a little unreal, once upon a time, hygiene was already so important?
