Chapter 69: Padlugang

The city of Padlugang, located at a distance of 540 kilometers east-30 degrees south-east of Reloire, the capital of the Northern Alliance, is the second largest industrial and commercial metropolis in the whole of Canavia, covering an area of more than 96 million square meters, with a population of more than 1.5 million, with a strong military force, and has always been friendly with the federal government of the northern country.

Su Ke and his group of six people, the moment they entered the city of Padlugang, they felt a sense of shock that they had never felt before, all kinds of tall and strange buildings towered in front of everyone's eyes, all kinds of machinery and factories came into view, filled with a strong smell of oil smoke and chemicals, which made it difficult for everyone who was accustomed to the fresh breath of nature to adapt.

"Huh! these smell so bad!" An Jie'er covered her nose, looked at the smoke coming from the high chimney, and looked at the sewage discharged from the gutter, and frowned, "Living in a place like this, you will definitely get sick." ”

"It's too noisy, and if it goes on for a long time, people will definitely go crazy. Newmay looked around, gesturing to the workers busy around a roaring machine in the dilapidated workshop, "It's unbelievable that they can stand it." ”

"What's that? I grew up in this environment. My adoptive father was a mechanic, and people like him abound in the factory. Although the working hours are long, overtime, and the wages are low, it is not easy for ordinary people like this to find a stable job. Without these, they can't even eat a mouthful of food. Jace continued to drive, traversing the fairly wide road.

"Ah, isn't that worse than our hunting and farming?" An Jie'er sighed, and then was a little puzzled, "Why is this happening? The development of science and technology should make people's lives better!"

"People living at the bottom of society have no right to enjoy the convenience brought by technology. Lista explained with a blank face.

After advancing a few hundred meters, I saw a thin porter, who was carrying goods on a tricycle, which was packed in cardboard boxes and looked very heavy. Because he suspected that the porter was slow, a brightly dressed man next to him kicked the porter fiercely, and immediately kicked him over, and kept cursing in his mouth.

The porter got up from the ground, bent down and apologized to the man in front of him, looking at him very nervous, as if he was expecting something, as if he was afraid of something.

The glamorous man spat out, then threw a copper plate into the spit he had just spit on, beckoned the tricycle driver, and left.

The emaciated porter picked up the copper plate with the disgusting slime sticking to it, rubbed it against the dirty clothes, and then pocketed it as if relieved.

Suke wanted to go down and beat the hateful man, but was stopped by Lista.

"What's the matter? This guy is clearly a bully, I don't beat him up, he'll do it next time. Su Ke was puzzled, and in his opinion, beating him up was the most effective solution. Beat him all over the ground looking for teeth, next time he will definitely not dare.

"It's useless. If you beat someone up for this, when we leave, the porter will definitely be unlucky, and even if he is not retaliated against, no one will ask him to do things in the future, and he will starve to death on the streets. Lista pointed to a nearby alleyway filled with ragged beggar-like temporary workers, "They don't have a stable job, they don't have a good day, and if you beat up the employer they have been waiting for, they will not only not appreciate you, but hate you." ”

"It's not appropriate to call them temporary workers, they have a special title in such a city, they are called 'street squatters'. They squatted there day and night, except for the occasional employer who took a fancy to them and called them away, and even when they ate, they waited for the bread vendor who occasionally passed by here, bought a dry bread, filled their stomachs, and then continued to squat there, praying for the arrival of the next employer. Jace added that he was very familiar with the conditions in which these people lived.

Suke's eyes widened as he surveyed the men, seeing that they were also looking at him expectantly, and then, when they found themselves just passing by, their eyes showed disappointment and loneliness.

Aisha felt pitiful for them and didn't know how to help them, and her face was full of melancholy.

Suke sighed, shook his head, and swallowed the fire back into his stomach.

"Be content! They have a bite to eat, and they should thank God for their good life if they don't starve to death. We are not gods, and we cannot save them. If you really can't look past it, when you're strong enough to handle everything, I'll be happy to go on a big fight with you. Lista patted Sook on the shoulder, signaling him to stop doing impulsive things.

Suke nodded, signaling that he understood.

After about three kilometers along the long road, you will arrive at the bustling business district, where you will be dazzled by the variety of shops, but this is only the surface of the glamour.

It was noisy and chaotic, and the beggars cowered in the corners, staring vacantly at the crowd coming and going.

Men in neat clothes walked down the street with their heads held high, looking like successful people, without even glancing at these "dirty" beggars.

Groups of well-dressed women discuss with each other who has the best clothes and who wears the most expensive gemstone necklaces. They compete with each other to see whose mistress is richer and has a higher family status. There is no shame or shame at all.

A middle-aged fat man with a big belly, holding a young and beautiful woman on his shoulder, walked past Su Ke and his party proudly with a spring breeze, and when he saw the three girls sitting in the back row, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran quickly to the front of the locomotive, wanting to stop the group of six people, "You stop." ”

Jace stepped on the brakes and looked at the fat man in front of him in surprise, "I said fatty, you have nothing to do with your mistresses, why are you stopping my car?"

The middle-aged fat man, but he didn't have a bird Jace, walked straight to the three girls, and then took out three platinum necklaces from his waist bag, with a pretentious expression, and was about to say, if the three of you are willing to stay with me for one night, these three necklaces are yours.

But before the middle-aged fat man could speak, he saw An Jie'er take out the necklace of the call from the collar for some reason, and then said innocently: "It's useless for me to have that thing, I already have a weapon, you see." ”

The middle-aged fat man looked at the brilliant luster of the huge emerald and was stunned. When I saw this tattered locomotive before, I thought they were very poor, so I wanted to use money to cheat these beautiful girls away, but I didn't expect that someone else would be worth all their net worth by taking out a necklace casually, ", what's going on with this group of people?"

The middle-aged fat man retreated, but he was afraid that he would lose face in front of the two mistresses, coupled with the coveting of the beautiful appearance of the three girls, he couldn't make up his mind in a short period of time and stood in place, "Today, this oolong can be put on a big show, if this is spread out, where will my face go?"

Aisha watched the fat man not leaving, coupled with the inducement of Angel's words, and thought that others were just here to sell magic weapons, so she took out a silver metal bow and arrows from the spatial ring, and said, "I also have weapons." ”

The middle-aged fat man looked at this magical scene, panicked, his hand trembled, and the platinum necklace fell to the ground.

Newmey was so angry that she had heard Jace talk about these things before, and that the rich and powerful men were unscrupulously using their money to lure young girls into falling for them in public. didn't expect it to befall her today, which immediately made her angry and punched the fat man in the face.

The unlucky fat man was beaten and flew out, his broken teeth mixed with blood and spit on the ground, and the two mistresses hurriedly went to help him up, and they didn't even bother to pick up the necklace, and rushed directly to the direction of the hospital.

Suke, Angel and Aisha all had a clouded expression, only Jace clutched his stomach and laughed, Newme's anger was not gone, his clenched fists clenched and clicked, and he wanted to run over and punch again, while Lista shook his head, didn't care about these, and walked straight forward. Jace finished laughing, restarted the locomotive, and followed.

An Jie'er looked at everyone's reactions, especially Newmeh's angry expression, and asked inexplicably, "What's wrong with you? Aren't others here to sell weapons? Why are you beating others?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Aisha echoed, and she was equally puzzled.

Jace couldn't help but laugh again, he calmed down, took a deep breath and said, "You two are too simple, that fat man, you want to ......"

"Shut up. Newme yelled back at Jace's words, and then said to Angel and Aisha, "It's okay, you're too shallow to understand this, I'll tell you later." ”

Angel and Aisha nodded, suppressing their curiosity.

After more than ten minutes, the group found a hotel and rented a suite, three bedrooms and one living room, one for the three girls, Lista liked quiet, so he asked for a separate one, and another room for Suke and Jace to live in.

An Jie'er couldn't help but be excited, wanted to buy clothes, took a shower, borrowed a set of clothes from Newme, and then urged everyone to hurry up.

Aisha wanted to be alone with Lista for a while, but she couldn't resist Angel's repeated requests, so she had no choice but to agree to go together.

Newmay was afraid that the two would encounter that kind of thing again, so they also followed together, and told the truth by the way, which immediately made the two girls shocked and angry, and vowed that if such a thing happened again, they would definitely make each other look good.

The gluttonous worm in Suke's stomach rebelled, and Jace wanted to go out and hook up with beautiful women, and after inviting Lista to no avail, the two went out together.
