The quagmire area has a population of 1.2 billion, 3 million living resources, and more than 10 million "cave halls". And these "cave halls" are divided into twelve districts according to the way people clock them. And in order to facilitate the calculation and management, the capsule game has opened games in each region. The gambling game in each district is relatively **, and each will give birth to its own champion. And because the number of participants is so large, even if it is calculated according to a five-minute game, the huge number of participants will make people fight for days and nights. So, each clock district was divided into 600 cells. Each community will give birth to a gambling king and a champion. The right to live in a large house of 160 square meters for one month.

The so-called gambling game, to put it bluntly, is actually similar to the nature of underground boxing matches. The difference is that the number of gamblers who participate in the game is equal to the number of people who fight in the next game. Just like placing a bet, each gambler can choose a contestant to place a bet on. If the bet is correct, then he will receive the same accommodation reward as the participant. However, if you make a mistake, you will need to hand over your chips.

And for the people in the slums, the only bargaining chip they can get is their own lives.

The last thing that is lacking in slums is human life.

Capsule games start in the middle of each month and last for three days. At the end of the three days, the game will be stopped. It will not be held again until the middle of the following month. At that time, those who have won in a bet can choose not to participate in the game or choose to continue to participate. In fact, very few people would be willing to return to that dirty, smelly, crowded and chaotic cave hall after a month of solitary restful sleep.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

And Zhao Zhuo happens to be the kind of person who can calmly "go from luxury to thrift".

Capsule apartment, he had lived in it since he was very young. Stayed for almost three years.

It's just that at that time, he didn't live in as a contestant. Rather, he was a gambler - gambling with his life. And when Zhao Zhuo was old enough to deal with the chaotic and dangerous daily life in the quagmire area alone, he gave up the promising profession of a gambler without hesitation.

Giving his life to others always makes Zhao Zhuo feel uneasy. If he is forced to do so, he prefers to take his fate into his own hands.

This was his first time participating in a capsule game as a contestant.

The leader fell silent again after a brief introduction to the rules of capsule gambling. In the quiet and dim hallway, everyone fell silent again. Most of the people were constantly looking at the capsule apartments on either side of the corridor with a longing, greedy, and curious gaze. For these poor people, these coffin-like houses are luxury luxuries in their minds. And being able to sleep in here for one night is the happiest thing.

Although these things seem to the outside world to be just like a joke. But for people who grew up living in a quagmire area, it's that expensive and real.

In this way, they walked through one capsule apartment after another, which looked like a honeycomb, and the group walked for half an hour before they could stop in front of a gate.

"Alright, we're here." The previous leader glanced back at the silent crowd and said aloud, "Go the rest of the way." ”

The two pathfinders opened the latch of the door, and a blinding light instantly illuminated the small, secluded corridor.

Along with it, there are also boiling voices.

"Let's welcome the contestants of the 4o6-486 cave dwelling community in the third district of the seventh clock district! This night, and the next, they will lead us all the way to the long-awaited capsule paradise! A huge and incomparably clear voice came in in the white light that everyone could not see, Zhao Zhuo, who had already been mentally prepared, squinted his eyes slightly, put down the arm blocking in front of him, and after a moment of adaptation, he looked out of the door, and saw the host standing on a piece of iron sheet hanging from the ceiling with four huge iron chains at a glance. Suddenly, my eyes lit up:

He was straight and short, his cheeks were clean and unstained, and he was rarely dressed in a neat and clean suit, and there was not the slightest smell of ordinary paupers in the swamp on his body. On the contrary, it is like the office workers who live in the civilian areas as people say by word of mouth.

And under the iron plate where the host stands, there is a cylindrical iron cage with a diameter of only five meters, which looks like the Colosseum. The cage is four meters high, made of dense thick wire, and at the very top of the cage, it is hung with a variety of weapons. If the people inside the cage want to get their weapons, they must climb up to the four-meter iron cage.

This is the venue where Zhao Zhuo will play. It is also a blessed land that can determine where they will live in the next month.

After getting used to the blinding bright lights in the arena, the merfolk walked out of the dark corridor and walked down the steps to the bottom of the gladiatorial arena. Near the iron cage, there is a low fence. The perimeter of the wall was filled with noisy and crazy people. These people are old and young, men and women. The older ones may be over seventy years old, while the younger ones are only about seven or eight years old. Of these gamblers, about 70 percent are women, and 20 percent are underage children, and men and the elderly account for only a pitiful 10 percent.

These are the gamblers who participate in capsule gambling games. Once, Zhao Zhuo was also one of them. In the middle of each month, like them, they will hold a sticker representing their own life, put it on the contestants they like, and then wait for the results to come frantically, nervously and resignedly. Because unlike all participants, gamblers who participate in capsule gambling must hand over their gambling money, which is their life, after the goal of their bet fails. The losing player may not have to die, but the losing gambler must pay with his life for it.

Whether it is life or death, it is not up to oneself.

It was this annoying feeling of not being able to control life and death that prompted Zhao Zhuo to resolutely return to his "cave hall" after living in a capsule apartment for three years. Until he has the ability to compete as a contestant.

No one would want to give their lives to someone else, if possible. Only children, the elderly, and women who have no ability to protect themselves will resolutely gamble with their lives.

Crowded mire slums are quite dangerous for people who are not able to protect themselves.
