Chapter 476

[446 – Lower Town]

Lin Jie passed through the half-opened tunnel in the Land of Dark Nights, which is currently the only tunnel leading to the downtown area.

He can transform into a dragon at will, but he still maintains his human form. Through a simple elevator that was temporarily built, the elevator made a terrifying sound of clicking, and in the small and confined space, only black rock formations could be seen infinitely upward.

Lin Jie stepped out of the elevator and walked in the underground corridor.

As a human being, the feeling here is very bad, and I can feel a lot of smells familiar to Lin Jie, and these smells are very similar to the source of their own power.

Lin Jie squinted slightly, and he could see that the drifting was a gray fog that spread over the entire Xiacheng District.

Although Xiacheng was bad, it was only at this time that Lin Jie felt a little bit of stepping on the ground.

The entire upper city is a steel machine built in the lower city, and all the organs are built on the blood and tears of the lower city.

If the entire Upper Town is a running steam train, then the Lower Town is a burning coal stove.

The resource is coal, but unfortunately it is ignited by humans.

Lin Jie concealed his form, and through this secret passage, he thought he could get out of this tunnel at some point, but gradually found that he could not leave this tunnel.

Because the whole lower city is in this tunnel. Remember https://m. xswang.com

This is a world of dark, interlaced mine tunnels. The wet and muddy ground can splash muddy water every step of the way. Surrounded by walls that are constantly seeping water and covered with moss, there is never any light, no trace of green or sunlight.

Going a little further, you can see the dilapidated tents and beds, the stone buildings built in the mines, and the underground temperature difference is not big, so all of them have only one single dormitory, and each of them only has a black robe to wear. .

Lin Jie closed his black robe and showed his figure, but unfortunately no one would care.

Residents with hunched bodies holding mining picks and tools like walking corpses, the clanging sound of mining everywhere, Lin Jie glanced a little, and saw that each of them was tightly wrapped with dirty bandages on their faces, only the chin. The tentacles were floating around like they were dead.

But the pupils of each of them are like beasts.

Lin Jie frowned slightly and looked at the residents in front of him. Even if he didn’t come, these beastly pupils would destroy the entire Nuojin one day.

They are oppressed by layers of exploitation, exchanging their lives for rare food and resources to continue to sustain life.

The black cloak is almost a piece of hands in Xiacheng. The people here seem to have not considered other colors, or pure black is in line with the positioning of Xiacheng.

This is a darker place than the Land of Darkness.

In the past, residents had to complete their daily tasks quickly before they could go to the upper city to exchange for food.

Especially in recent years, the mining of resources has dropped sharply, and it takes more effort to mine ore late, so they don’t care about Lin Jie at all, and they don’t even see the tentacles of his chin.

Survival does not solve other situations should be put in the last item.

“It seems that books can’t be sold here…” Lin Jie was hit hard by a man who was robbing ore. He looked at the people running like a tide, and said with a sigh.

“But I still have to work hard.” Lin Jie continued to move forward… Maybe pick a storefront.

With this mentality, Lin Jie walked for a few hours to the sparsely populated mine. He saw many women and children collecting here. It seems that because of the lack of resources, strong men will not come here.

It’s nice and quiet here… Lin Jie couldn’t help but feel a little joy.

Opening a bookstore here seems to be very good. Lin Jie doesn’t care about the environment, it doesn’t matter how bad it is.

suddenly–

Lin Jie’s clothes corner seemed to be pulled by something, he turned around, but saw nothing.

“Hey! Red is here!”

A young voice penetrated into Lin Jie’s ears, he immediately lowered his head and saw a little girl like a mushroom.

The girl was wearing a black cloak, but not tied with dirty bandages. Her skin was not turquoise like most residents, but slightly reddish, but like them, it was as rough as crocodile skin.

There is one difference between this girl and the other skinny residents – that is, she is a little fat, and even said that her round face becomes a little funny even with such an ancient horror and grim face.

She is probably the kind of girl who will gain weight by drinking water.

Lin Jie was attracted by the chubby and cheerful swaying tentacles on her chin, and couldn’t help but start to wonder, there is such a ridiculous situation in the creatures that have been polluted by the evil god.

“Can’t you see me? … You are that kind, that kind, what are you looking at?” The little girl who claimed to be red frowned, and she forgot halfway through her threatening words.

“No one is defiant.” Lin Jie reminded.

“Ah yes! It’s defiant!” Hong seemed to think of something happy, but instead he remembered that he was angry, and immediately restrained his smile, full of majesty.

“Don’t be arrogant!” Hong said loudly: “Hong is just, just a little shorter! Can you see clearly now?”

She said raising her hand to compare her height, she was only as high as Lin Jie’s thigh.

“I see.” Lin Jie said with a smile.

Only then did Hong let go of Lin Jie’s cloak, hugging her chest like a little adult, and said, “Are you a smuggler from Shangcheng? It’s too outrageous to be so swaggering, don’t you know to be more careful?”

“Be careful of what?”

“The fabric on your body, and the color of your skin… People in the upper city always look down on us, huh, but in fact, as long as they get covered with gray fog, they will immediately lose their minds. I saw several people from the upper city before, That’s how they got killed.”

The little girl put her hands on her hips and snorted coldly, but because of the chubby tentacles on both sides of her cheeks, it looked like a fried sausage.

them? …So it turns out, Lin Jie suddenly realized that some of those stowaways didn’t die because of pollution, but were killed by people in Xiacheng District.

Are there many who dare to resist among those blindly oppressed?

“Then why did you remind me?”

“Because…because I want you to attract more people from Shangcheng District! Don’t all of you people in Shangcheng like to make friends?”

The little girl was righteous, pointed at Lin Jie with the bone knife in her hand, and said aggressively: “Now you are my hostage, go back to the shed with me. Don’t let others see you, or I will kill you.”

Lin Jie was a little surprised. He originally wanted to open a bookstore silently and wait for someone to come to the door by himself, but occasionally there are quite interesting adventures in life. If you keep the so-called omniscient eye open, you will lose a lot of surprises.

Lin Jie smiled and said, “Okay.”

Hong dragged Lin Jie’s clothes and told him to be honest from time to time, but Lin Jie didn’t look scared at all, unlike those arrogant people in Shangcheng… But Lin Jie did look arrogant.

But it’s not the same kind of arrogance, Hong thought carefully, that kind of feeling probably couldn’t help feeling that he was powerful, right?
