Recently, there was nothing to do in the gathering place, Zeng Qiang decided to go to the largest slum in Xicheng, with Wang Xin, who was also idle, Gu Tao, who was in charge of safety, and two team members who hid pistols.

The slums of the entire Xicheng are very large, covering a third of the gathering area, and most of them live here people who are not taken in by other forces, leaving them to fend for themselves, and ugliness is like bacteria in the corrupt soil here, everywhere.

According to the information returned from the investigation, the entire gathering place loses as many as 50 or 60 people every day, including 6-8 suicides, 10-12 missing, 10-15 killed, and about 15-16 other deaths.

Ninety percent of these casualties were slum workers, most of whom were male, and children were not counted as human beings, and there was no certainty as to how many people would die.

The four of them were wandering around the slums, where there were many people, frequent exchanges, but very quiet, most of the yellow-faced and thin-skinned poor people did not even have the strength to speak, Zeng Qiang paid attention to the expressions of these people.

Most of them are numb, desperate, desolate, there is no other look in their eyes, only emptiness, they are just passing today and no tomorrow, and the first thing they do when they wake up every day is to find a way to solve the day's eating, until one day they can't stand it anymore and will fall down silently.

There are also some longing eyes, they are young and beautiful women, for various reasons they are not protected by the power, they can only hope to earn a day's food on their own bodies.

There are a very small number of people whose eyes are flickering, they are bright or dark, looking at the passers-by, these people hide themselves in dark corners, they are like poisonous snakes, waiting for an opportunity, wanting to squeeze the surplus value of some people with a single hit.

Zeng Qiang and his party were neatly dressed and well-armed, with sufficient weapons and equipment, so that these people in the dark did not dare to make a move for the time being.

Wang Xin was intrigued by the slum buildings, and she exclaimed, "Look, husband, there are houses made of various drink bottles, and walls made of car tires...... And look at this, I actually dug a big hole in the ground and covered it with a plastic sheet......"

As they walked, the group came to a crowded area, which resembled a bazaar, and several armed men were maintaining order.

Some people set up stalls on the ground, some selling gold and jewelry, some selling all kinds of sofas, kitchen utensils and electrical appliances, and some selling children and daughters......

Zeng Qiang didn't see anyone selling food and weapons, thinking that first, there was a shortage, and second, these scarce materials should be held in the hands of the major forces, and they would not be taken out easily.

At the beginning, Wang Xin was still interested, but later he picked and chosen, and he couldn't look down on anything, there were all the things in the fleet, and there were no teams, and he gradually lost interest, so that those stall owners turned from hope to despair.

A little girl who looked less than ten years old, lying on the ground covered in scars, and next to her stood an obscene middle-aged man, who was teaching the girl a lesson with his head and face.

"You dead girl, Lao Tzu asked you to pick up guests, you pretend to be dead for me, I think you want to die."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man kicked the girl's leg hard, causing the girl to hold her leg and cry.

What happened to the girl caught Wang Xin's attention, and she walked up to the middle-aged man and scolded: "You old bastard, are you such a bully, don't you see that she is still a child?" ”

"Yo! You are nosy, this is my daughter, I can fight as much as I want, can you control it? The middle-aged man was quite unreasonable, maybe he saw that the two team members behind Wang Xin were not easy to mess with, and he didn't dare to go too far, so he kicked the girl again.

"Stop!" Wang Xin pushed the middle-aged man away, walked over to help the girl, and said with concern: "Little sister, how are you?" ”

The little girl may be very scared, even if she is helped up by Wang Xin, she doesn't dare to raise her head, let alone speak.

"Don't be afraid, is he your father?"

The little girl looked at the middle-aged man in fear, and when she saw the middle-aged man staring at her, she trembled with fright and nodded silently.

"Don't be afraid, there is a sister here, you can go with your sister." Wang Xin looked at the poor girl, her compassion was overflowing, and she wanted to leave when she picked up the girl.

"Stop! He's my daughter, you said take it away? Although the middle-aged man was a little afraid of the two team members, he still didn't let Wang Xin take her daughter away easily.

"What do you want?" Wang Xin frowned coldly, she would never let this girl follow this kind of scum again.

"It's not impossible, but it's two hundred catties of grain, otherwise you don't have to talk about it!" The middle-aged man turned his heart sideways, and the lion opened his mouth.

"Now, here you go, I didn't bring that much." Wang Xin took out all the food in his backpack and handed it to the middle-aged man, although the weight was not enough, but there were many types, including beef jerky, canned meat, potato chips, ham sausages and instant noodles and other snacks.

Seeing the grain Wang Xin took out, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he knew that he had encountered a 'fat pig', and these things were much more valuable than ordinary food.

"Okay, you take her away quickly, and take her with you and waste my food." The middle-aged man snatched the contents of Wang Xin's backpack and left triumphantly, with these snacks, he could not only exchange for some food, but also find a few beautiful kiln sisters to cool off, and even join some small forces.

"Okay, what's your little sister's name, follow me in the future." Wang Xin looked at the little girl with a concerned face, for her, those snacks were dispensable, anyway, there were more in the camp.

The little girl struggled to stand up, glanced at Wang Xin deeply, and suddenly ran towards the depths of a shack, and disappeared in an instant.

"Hey! What are you running? Seeing this, Wang Xin wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Zeng Qiang.

Zeng Qiang watched the whole process, he didn't know if the little girl and the middle-aged man were father and daughter, but he knew that things would not be so simple, obviously the two of them were acting, the purpose was to arouse their sympathy in exchange for some food.

"Husband, why didn't you say it earlier?" Wang Xin said angrily, her kindness was taken advantage of, and she was very unhappy.

"I told you a long time ago, how can you understand the sinister nature of the human heart." Zeng Qiangruo said meaningfully, only by letting Wang Xin experience it himself, can he have more eyes when he encounters this kind of thing in the future.

This stupid girl is still too simple, alas!

The group continued to stroll, what happened just now made Wang Xin completely out of mood, and walked absent-mindedly, she began to feel sorry for her food, and pestered Zeng Qiang to make him pay ten times for himself before she stopped.

The slum was huge, and a few people walked through a few aisles.

Suddenly, from the depths of a shack, a pair of dark green hands grabbed Zeng Qiang.
