Chapter 109: Selling Blood

Anthony changes into his overalls, which show his identity with a suspender......

Steel fences.

Periphery.

Rows of wooden tables are lined up, and here, some people are standing, and they are lining up to meet the unknown.

Most of them were some ragged people, and the doctor was concentrating on drawing blood in a tube, holding a transparent array tube of inexplicable material.

In the corner of the wall squatted rows of emaciated people, their eyes numb, some full of hope, some full of pleading, some with children, their faces sad.

A doctor with gloves in his hand examined their bodies in turn, with a cold face and frequent speed.

Every swing of his hand decides the fate of some people.

Some people have gray eyes because they haven't been checked.

More people are begging in despair, but the doctors turn a blind eye.

Their eyes were filled with tears, and they knelt and trembled......

Some people are happy, some people are sad, this place is like a lot of ecology, hesitant and helpless.

Here, instead of hope, the person in white decides fate, which is fate...... Cut-off point.

Tears of supplication are not rewarded here.

On the table, a middle-aged man placed his arm on the table, and he looked at the filling of those blood bags, revealing a happy face.

As the blood was drawn out little by little, the doctor carefully examined the needle, determined the milliliters, and waved his hand.

The middle-aged man stood up gratefully and kept bowing.

Blood is drawn quite quickly, perhaps at an unusual frequency, and these people are emaciated, which is also related to food shortages.

Immediately afterwards, someone next to him handed him a large bag of turned date bread, and his hands trembled with excitement.

Even the shabby clothes were left open, revealing dense pinholes......

There was endless joy in my heart, and the scene of my family eating bread came to my mind, and my eyes became bright.

His hands trembled more and more, and his face was unusually pale from weakness, mixed with a little dull yellow.

......

Anthony looked at the people with cold faces and drew blood without emotion, and fell into confusion for a while.

At the door, Anthony, who was standing with the security guard, was silent again, his heart flooded with boredom.

Because, it reminds him of a lot of bad memories.

This way of exchanging money at the expense of a healthy body is inexplicably familiar.

Although he has become a managerial class.

"Why?"

The security guard's eyes were not shocked......

"They donate a lot of plasma every month to feed their family, and they send enough food rations for a few days or half a month. ”

The security guard's eyes narrowed......

"It's an unwritten rule, nine out of ten answers to how to get food quickly are to sell blood. ”

The security guard picked up the liquid that was hard to see outside, and drank it.

His pale hands are composed entirely of machinery and are nimble, and the defensive nature of his body suggests that he is a former professional, a killer.

A mockery hung over his face.

"You don't have to work, just sit there for a while, and you have a few days' worth of food. ”

"These desperate people. Is there any way to do it?"

"Instead, they can make a relatively decent living in the city by selling blood. ”

On top of the ground, murky water droplets drip down.

Anthony looked at these people who were either disabled, or poor, or lazy, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

They are counting on this simple and reliable way to survive, and what if one day these people don't collect?

How do they survive?

......

Behind the canopy, the central area is a machine where the doctor tests out the type of blood with a test tube and then separates it with a machine that rotates at high speed.

Classify a variety of different blood types and isolates.

Anthony's face grew more disgusted, and the security guard stretched his finger forward, a crack unscrewed at the top of his finger, and then the blade extended.

The rotating blade rotates at high speed with wind pressure, and the peel flies, and an apple is quickly peeled.

While curious as to why there are apples here, Anthony didn't ask.

The security guard handed Anthony the half-peeled apple, and then chewed it in large gulps, slurring his mouth.

"This is one of the places where the plasma is collected, and everyone needs it to survive, especially in times of food shortages. ”

"I remember when I was very young, it was, and I was here many times. ”

His words suddenly became subdued,......

"I've seen countless tragedies here, and there are people who haven't sold more than once for a month of work. ”

"There are people who are not up to standard, and they who have been attached to this for a long time have not found a job, and they die in a mess. ”

Anthony thought for a moment and swept his gaze over the queue again, "Is there anything in the blood?"

The security guard swallowed the last apple and threw the core away nonchalantly......

"I don't know, a lot of people say it's the soul.

He spread his hand, his mechanical fingers reflecting the glow, and he sighed in the dim light.

"But what exactly? We don't know. ”

......

Anthony looked at the people who did not pass the inspection, and instead of leaving, they went to the basement in the vicinity.

There was a tacit understanding, and their expressions were either confused or with a hint of hope.

Anthony suddenly thought ...... their fate.

He clearly remembered that these people did not succeed in selling blood, so how did they survive?

Steel Building East District.

Basement.

Anthony's face became more and more gloomy as he entered the area, as countless people with disabilities or semi-disabilities lay on his beds.

Even if they have just entered here, those who have not passed the blood test are silent when they see this scene.

The free treatment plaque hanging in front of the door is all empty talk here, it is indeed free, but it has lost even more.

The small place smelled because of the crowding in too many people, and the beds were tight from bed to bed, either wailing or lying on their backs.

They are like brutes, waiting here for death.

The doctors treated them roughly, even ignoring their wails, and the number of deaths they had dealt with became more and more indifferent to the meaning of life.

......

The most chilling thing is that there are babies placed in the side, some of the skin is distorted and ulcerated, and some of them are crying for adverse reactions.

There was even a woman who sent her child here, and her eyes were deep with nostalgia and reluctance, as well as a hint of sparkle.

"Are these doctors under our control?"

The administrator was an old man, and his expression instantly became playful, and he was stunned at first.

"How is that possible? Doctors are treasures in any city. ”

"We only have a few herbalists and no doctors who are very specialized. ”

Anthony's expression was mixed with a strange expression, "And where did they come from?"

The manager leaned his head next to Anthony and whispered:

"These doctors are orphans who have been trained since childhood, but the leading doctors are said to be from ...... Rock Fortress. ”

"They've been studying here for more than a decade. ”

"To be precise, we're a testing ground......"

"It's densely populated, it's a mix of genres, and most importantly, the price of human life here is negligible. ”

"Even trial and error can pay ridiculous compensation. ”
