On the wide street, a Land Rover galloped by, gaining a wave of envious eyes from passers-by.

It was heading not outside the familiar city, but a wall made of reinforced concrete.

After a while, Chen Kai slowly parked the Land Rover at the city gate, and then got out of the car with Xu Yan.

Behind this city gate in front of you is a new and unfamiliar area.

After this gate, you will find the slum area of Songjiang City, which is also known as the outer city.

Located in the northwest corner of the city, it is an independent area that is a quarter of the size of Songjiang City.

Chen Kai and Xu Yan glanced at each other, and then walked quickly into the city gate.

It's just a place separated by a wall, and the gap is simply worlds apart, and this discovery shocked Chen Kai.

Outside the city gates are towering skyscrapers and wide, neat streets, where people come and go, laughing and laughing.

The city gates are full of low-slung shanty towns, the streets are narrow and dirty, and flies and rats are everywhere.

The people who live here are in rags, with yellow faces and thin muscles, and their eyes are full of numbness and sluggishness, and they have long lost confidence in life.

Here, there are often robberies and fights, and sometimes there are even fatalities for a bite to eat.

"This is the most authentic side of Matsue City."

"The lights and traffic you see on weekdays are actually fake."

Looking at Chen Kai's surprised appearance, Xu Yan's beautiful eyes looked at everything here gloomily.

Chen Kai looked around slightly blankly.

Everything here felt strange to him, completely different from the Songjiang City he remembered.

"Speaking of which, this is my first time here." He said.

"If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that Matsue City would have such a defeat."

Unlike Chen Kai, Xu Yan obviously knew about the situation here for a long time.

"Some of the people who live here are natives of the area, and some of them are people who used to live in the inner city," she explains.

"These people who have moved from the inner city to the outer city are basically ordinary people who have no talent for beast control, and they have lost their stable income and jobs when they are old."

"Because I can't afford to live after being unemployed, I chose to settle here and receive relief from the Beast Master Association and the government on a regular basis."

"But no amount of money from the Beast Master Association and the government can buy enough food to help them."

"After all, in this world, food is more precious than money, and you can't buy it even if you want to."

Speaking of this, Xu Yan sighed deeply, and a sad look flashed in her eyes.

In an era of food shortage, no amount of money can buy enough food.

This is the sorrow of this age!

"I heard that in the era before the appearance of the space gate, every household in my country could be fed and clothed, and there was no need to endure hunger."

"I really yearn for that kind of life...... The people are rich, and every man may live and work in peace and contentment, and have something to eat."

When she said these words, Xu Yan's eyes were full of yearning, and the corners of her mouth showed a soft smile.

It can be seen that she is really yearning for that glorious time.

「……」

Hearing Xu Yan's words, Chen Kai fell silent for a while.

Perhaps for Xu Yan, that period of the past only exists in the records of historical books.

But for Chen Kai, it was an incomparably glorious era that he had personally experienced.

In the previous life, Huaguo was a prosperous country, and the people had enough food and clothing and lived a comfortable life.

Many wealthy people even waste enough food every day to live on several slum families for days.

This is really a full man, I don't know how hungry a man is hungry, Chen Kai thought to himself.

In the midst of their thoughts, the two walked side by side along the alley.

suddenly

However, Chen Kai stopped.

A barefoot, tattered child, kneeling on the side of the road, wiping away tears.

His face was dirty, his hair was in locks, and there was a rolled straw mat on the ground in front of him.

Look at the bulging outline of the straw mat, and the pale feet that are covered with bruises everywhere at one end.

Chen Kai guessed that it was probably the corpse of the child's relatives.

And judging by the size of his feet, he should be the father of the child.

"Is it your father wrapped in this straw mat?"

Chen Kai slowly squatted down and looked at the child's eyes full of tears.

When the boy saw a stranger questioning him, he first cowered timidly, and then nodded.

"He's my only relative." The child sobbed lowly.

"Poor boy." The tragic experience of the child made Chen Kai feel compassion.

You must know that in the previous life of Huaguo, a child of such a big age was the pearl of the family.

Like the one in front of me, the young have to learn to survive alone.

Chen Kai took out a wad of 10,000 yuan in cash from the space ring and put it in front of the child.

This move directly made this poor child look dumbfounded, stunned in place, and at a loss.

"Take the money and go and bury your father." Chen Kai said softly.

Hearing Chen Kai's words, the child came back to his senses, shrunk and stretched out his hand, wanting to take the pile of money.

But the sharp sight that came from all around him suddenly made his outstretched hand stiff, and he quickly retracted it.

"I know you mean well, but instead of improving his life, you're bringing bad luck to him."

Xu Yan raised her delicate chin around her, but it gave Chen Kai a wake-up call.

Looking in those directions, Chen Kai saw several people begging along the street staring closely at the pile of soft girl coins in front of the children.

The eyes of these people looking at the soft girl coin were full of greed, and there was a grim and eager expression on their faces.

It is conceivable that as soon as Chen Kai and Xu Yan leave here, they will rush up and snatch the pile of soft girl coins.

Maybe he will beat the child in front of him.

"I forgot that." Chen Kai scratched his head in embarrassment.

In these turbulent times, the human heart is the most sinister thing.

He had forgotten about that.

"Leave this child's business to me." Xu Yan said.

"I'll send her to the orphanage of the Beastmaster Guild and let her grow up like a normal child."

"That's fine." Chen Kai smiled with relief.

Xu Yan, who was born in a big family, has a heart that loves ordinary people.

This is a trait that many people from high families do not have.

Chen Kai also glanced at Xu Yan because of this.

Perhaps, these people from big families are not like Li Xiuyi, who are rich and unkind.

"Thank you." The child left tears of gratitude and said to Chen Kai, "I will definitely find a way to repay you."

"I'm a little curious about who beat your father to death." At the mention of this, Chen Kai suddenly showed coldness.

The man's feet were covered with bruises, obviously he had been tortured to death, and Chen Kai could naturally see this.

When the cause of his father's death was suddenly mentioned, the child's body immediately trembled, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

"It was the Scorpion Gang who did it."

"My father just had a verbal altercation with their people, and they beat him to death."

The child's lips twitched a few times, but finally he overcame the fear in his heart and said.

The Red Scorpion Gang?

Chen Kai looked at Xu Yan, waiting for her explanation.

A flash flashed in Xu Yan's eyes

With a look of disgust, he said, "This Red Scorpion Gang is a well-known gang force in the outer city."

"Its members are a group of murderers who do evil, and they do a lot of bullying and dominating the market on weekdays......

Listening to Xu Yan's words, Chen Kaimo rubbed his chin.

Suddenly, I became interested in this gang.
