Chapter 398: Dialogue with the People at the Bottom

If the supernatural is the top of today's human society, then the high-level supernatural is the master of the top!

Chirp is the most obvious example.

When she was a junior ability, although her strength was also very strong, she had great limitations. You can't really put it away freely.

But the high-level abilities make up for this very well, not only is the energy source more powerful, but the elemental power contained in it is also more intense. All it takes is a simple thought, and the elemental power around her is at her disposal.

Wenfeng District is not large, but it is very densely populated, with only half of the territory of the Eastern District, but nearly 30,000 people live.

However, unlike the Eastern District, most of these people were forcibly requisitioned by the Northwest Base, and they scavenged for resources in the surrounding villages and towns, even the surviving population, and all of them were brought over to work as migrant laborers.

This approach is somewhat inhumane, but the results are clear.

Those people who have been forcibly expropriated have almost no human rights to speak of, and their existence is to open up wasteland, manufacture, and produce! Just two meals a day to feed their stomach can bring out their potential exponentially.

When Su Wei and the three of them passed by a food processing factory, two workers happened to come out of it, carrying a simple stretcher one after the other, and a worker who had long since died was lying on it.

"Hey, when is this day going to be a head!"

The man in the back sighed and said helplessly: "Seventeen people disappear every day, but they only give two inferior meals, even the iron man can't stand it!" ”

"Be quiet, don't get heard."

The person in front of him also shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "One of our group also died yesterday, and when he died, there were bones left, and the clothes on his body were also stripped off." ”

The two came to a corner and stopped, standing in a sheltered place to rest secretly.

"Tell me, is this still the life of a human being? It's better to starve to death at home. ”

The voice of the person behind was also a little louder, and he said indignantly: "I thought that I could eat here when I came here, but who would have thought that this place is simply purgatory on earth!" ”

"Hey, don't think about it so much."

The man in front of him persuaded: "It's not easy to have a breath these days." Everyone said that they wanted to die at every turn, but they didn't see anyone really die. It's better to be alive than anything else! ”

"That's true, as long as you live, there is hope."

The man in the back rested against the corner and asked in a low voice, "I heard that we are going to war with somewhere else recently?" In the past two days, the production line in the factory has not stopped, and it is all about compressed rations. I secretly tasted it, it wasn't delicious, but it was full! I don't know what it's all about. ”

"You'd better not know."

The person in front of him was obviously an old man, and he laughed and said, "I'm afraid that if you know, you will have to vomit even the overnight meal, and you will never be able to eat it again in the future." ”

"Cut, and there's anything I can't eat?"

The man in the back scolded angrily: "I've been working for half a month, and I haven't eaten a full meal, let alone a good meal." As long as it's eaten, as long as it doesn't die, I dare to eat anything! ”

"Hehe, that's what you said!"

The man in front looked around, and after finding Su Wei and the three of them, he lowered his voice a little, and whispered: "I heard that those animal carcasses that have died a long time ago are used to crush the meat and bones, and then air dry, bake, process and compress!" ”

"Phew!"

The man in the back couldn't help retching, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Really? Could it be that all I have eaten these days is this kind of thing? ”

"Hehe, you think beautifully!"

The man in front of him sneered and said with a smile: "These are for the soldiers, they are baby bumps, if there are no soldiers who are soldiers, how can those big people sleep?" ”

"That's what soldiers eat?"

The man behind looked at him in disbelief, and suddenly his eyes widened: "If even they have to eat these, then what about us?" I'm afraid we're ......."

"Cockroaches, rats, and maybe dead people."

The face of the person in front of him was unusually calm, as if he was talking about some very ordinary food, and said lightly: "But the taste is almost the same after processing, if you don't know what the ingredients are, you can't actually eat the difference at all." ”

"Phew!"

The man behind snorted two mouthfuls of sour water and spit on the ground, and said with a pale face: "I'm!" Lao Tzu works like a dog every day, so he gives me these? That's better than dying! ”

"Then you go, and no one will stop you."

The man in front looked at him with a smile and said disdainfully: "I didn't adapt to it at the beginning, but now I'm numb!" For me, being alive is the best. You can't accept it now, and that's because you haven't really starved yet. I used to be in the next city, and when we were at the worst of the time, we started eating people! ”

"Really?"

The man in the back was stunned for a moment, and said with some temptation: "I am a local, and I lived in the suburbs before. Although many people starved to death there, there was no cannibalism! ”

"That's because you have a thick foundation here, and those official bigwigs want to occupy land as kings, so naturally someone has to give them their lives!"

The man in front sighed and said, "But what about us? We can't even find a place to sell our lives! If you don't eat people, you have to die, and if you die, you have to be eaten...... You say, if it were you, what would you choose? ”

"Then you're eating people too?"

The eyes of the person in the back changed when he looked at him, and he subconsciously stepped back: "This is too ...... Don't say you saw it with your own eyes, but you panic when you think about it. ”

"Just get used to it."

The man in front laughed miserably, his face was a little painful, and he muttered in a low voice: "At first, we didn't want to eat people, but then we really couldn't help it!" Not to mention the village, there is no food in the entire city, and there are dead people except dead animals around. What do you think we can do? If you don't eat it, you'll die! ”

"Hey."

The man in the back pursed his lips and didn't know how to speak.

"For me, living so far is earning, who would be afraid to live a long life?"

The person in front smiled again, tightened the shabby and dirty cotton clothes on his body and said: "When the production is stable in the future, our life will definitely get better slowly, and we can't eat this every day, right?" ”

“…… You're in a really good state of mind. ”

The man in the back was a little speechless and said, "Even if the future is good, it won't be the same for us?" ”

"If you think so, you will suffer even if you live."

The man in front of him smiled and comforted him: "We were damned people, and it is great luck to be alive now." If you can eat enough in the future, that is a gift from God. Didn't that happen in the old days? ”
