Chapter 15 The Big One is Coming(1/4)

Today's Ewende City is now very chaotic, like a muddy deep pool.

The turmoil caused by Su Zhou's impact on the Chuyao ship has not yet been understood by the local city guards.

Although there is a network composed of communication arrays in Ewende City, this is just an encrypted network for communication, not an Internet like Earth.

So until now, at least seven or eight completely different developments can be summarized based on the reports of various types and at least hundreds of completely different intelligence officers.

From demonized monsters to siege the city, to rebels uprising raids in ports; from demonized rebellion to revenge between the nobles in the southern border... all guesses are all.

Even Earl Earl Everde himself may only know that "there is a quick, hard and powerful warship raid, directly destroying a warship on his own", "The wall of the eastern city guard was broken", "The city guard command was raided by a strong man, and the front-line command system was completely out of control". This series of chaotic bad news.

As we all know, if you want to attack a mobile city and drive a medium-sized mobile warship, you will need at least thousands of professional professional soldiers.

If you want to break through the wall and destroy the command center as soon as possible, these thousands of soldiers must be all elite, at least the Soul Condensation Level, the leader's heart light starts.

In this way, things are easy to understand.

——This is war!

What? There are actually not so many people?

So how did the chaos on the front line come about? Why do everyone say that they saw the enemy and were raided, and they are standing in a critical area of ​​safety and urgently need reinforcements?

It is now obvious that it has entered a state of full-scale war, and a large number of enemies have invaded the city. We have to give up our fantasy and engage in street fighting!

This is the situation in Evande City today.

The requests for help and howling from all directions made everyone feel as if the whole city was fighting.

In Dongcheng District, smoke was everywhere. In order to avoid being affected by the war, the slum residents located in the outskirts of Dongcheng District and a large number of residents in the Lower City area rushed towards the relatively safe inner city area. Such actions actually caused a lot of chaos and riots.

There are even many people with ulterior motives, such as some demonized people with poor character and underworld gangs, who deliberately take advantage of the situation to rob the savings and wealth of the single ones at this time.

Anyway, it is almost wartime, and neither the city guards nor the patrol guards are present... When the legal order is empty, it is a good time for them to rage.

Su Zhou and his group rushed towards the increasingly chaotic Dongcheng District in such an environment.

The most important thing about a mobile city is the core city located in the center.

Although each sub-city area has an independent source energy furnace core, the source energy furnace core of the core in the core city has the largest power and the most stable power. It can provide most of the energy for the entire city after assembly in the mobile city.

With the urban aristocratic mansions in the core city as the center, each circle of urban circles represents a class. First, there are extraordinary people, then ordinary people; maybe merchants or engineers, and the classification of each city is different.

But the same is that it is located at the outermost edge of the city, with the most intense vibration and the most remote areas, namely the slums and the lower city.

Here, most of the lives are civilians, demonized people, marginal races, and illegal people without ID documents.

A large number of dangerous elements and poor people gathered together, making this place a three-in-one area of ​​the city.

Except for a few ports and docks around, in the marginal areas, even if people die, there will be no guards coming to manage them.

In addition, there were many wars in the continent of Aion, and there were frequent rebels and rebels in the Asmodai Empire, and countless various taxes were levied. Therefore, ordinary people who were struggling on the poverty line could not be turned around for a while and could only enter the slums.

The slums in Dongcheng District are more chaotic and unscrupulous than those in Nancheng District. If in Nancheng District, the former Professor Svetre could use his name to intimidate villains and protect the orphanage, then in Dongcheng District, the lawless madmen will not care whether they will be retaliated after doing evil. They will only do it first.

The team of more than 30 children is extremely conspicuous and is walking against the crowd, which is even more eye-catching.

The crowds who were rushing to the inner city naturally had no time to pay attention to this strange team, but they did not leave. Instead, the indigenous people in Dongcheng District who stayed at home for various reasons noticed this abnormal point and then looked here with different eyes.

"What kind of smelly fish and rotten shrimps are these?"

Su Zhou naturally noticed those gazes, and he frowned slightly: "The malice of the naked, like a wild beast."

Now all those who stay in Dongcheng District, except those who really cannot leave the needy, are demonized people and gangs of demonized people.

Compared to the poor, the one who is a demonized person is the one who is a poor person.

They can only live in the Xiacheng District and absolutely cannot go to other areas. They are abandoned by the city. If they are not the work in the factory, no matter who they are, as long as they are laborers, they will be treated equally. Most people in the Xiacheng District will not even find a job.

However, they also have the power - the source power brought by demonization allows some demonized people to make a living by exploiting other demonized people and ordinary people, which has led to the emergence of gangs.

For example, smugglers from fixed villages, who thought that entering a mobile city would change their lives, were forced to settle down here. Most of them didn't even know much, and even if they entered a factory, they could only be the lowest-level handyman. Only a few people who became chefs or cleaners based on their skills can live a little easier.

But even so, most people in the Lower City have to get up to work before dawn and don’t end until evening - and some people even need to work two jobs, and they have to work until late at night before going home. There is a high chance that the gang will take away a considerable portion of the money as protection fee.

This is the source of wealth for the gang.

At this moment, a pair of doubts and greedy eyes looked at the team of Xiguang Orphanage.

Although it seems that there is no oil or water, the population itself is a benefit.

In this world, there are too many poor people who work hard but cannot eat enough and can only buy and sell their children as servants and slaves.

It’s like there are a few children among orphans who are bought by Professor Svetre when their parents are really unable to afford it and are about to abandon it. This is a very lucky thing, because after being sold for poor children like them, the best result is to be cut off one or two amputations, beg for beggars, or become young prostitutes.

That is a way of living that has lost its dignity.

Under the care of Professor Svetre, although some of the children in the orphanage were still thin, they at least looked like normal people.

This is the best quality ‘commodity’ for most thin and unborn children in the slums, which can be sold to high-ranking officials as servants, or...

A guy like Seneca who has an excellent appearance, if he hadn't had a certain ability to protect himself, and never went to dangerous areas, and had the title of a professor, he would have been abducted and unknown.

However, despite his eyes staring at him, no one dared to take the lead.

——Don’t underestimate any seemingly weak target, especially women and children.

Since you dare to appear openly, it means that this team has guaranteed their safety.

Even the gang knows this.

So soon, all these eyes turned to Su Zhou.

"oh?"

Su Zhou just raised his eyebrows and looked around.

This simple action retracted all the peeping eyes in the entire street.

Some people even let out a low howl of pain, and blood flowed out of their eyes. The source of energy was too sharp to provide feedback on the overly obvious malice, piercing the atmosphere and shattering their eyes.

Such actions not only did not anger these demonized people, but instead made them retreat back to their strongholds in awe.

——Sure enough, this is a strong man that cannot be provoked!

Since there are other weaker people to exploit, it is impossible for the gang to swing the stronger ones.

Of course, in addition to this, Su Zhou also sensed many curious, weak and puzzled eyes.

"Isn't that Xiguang Orphanage..."

"Why did they show up here...ah, that's Dean Svetre? When did he come back?"

"Why did they walk towards the battlefield in the east?"

These are all demonized people and ordinary people who live in poverty, even extremely hungry, and cannot walk.

They stayed in Dongcheng District, located on the edge of the 'battlefield', just because they couldn't leave here.

“It’s too bad here…”

Watching all this, Su Zhou couldn't help frowning.

Although he had intimidated several gangs at a glance and made them afraid to take action, the man did not have much pride in his heart.

The current situation of Ewende's slums is beyond his imagination - there are many corpses left behind in the streets and alleys, including many skinny children.

You could vaguely hear the shouts of killing not far away and the call for help from running away. Even if Su Zhou raised his hand casually and the splashed stones knocked out all the gang members who were chasing them, the shouts of killing were endless in the slums in all urban areas of Ewende City.

Many children in the orphanage, whether the oldest Seneca or the youngest Ivan, turned a blind eye to the current situation, as if they had long been used to it.

"That's how the demonized one is."

Hearing Su Zhou's words, Seneca, who was following Su Zhou, couldn't help but sigh. He stared at the intersection in front of him, while paying attention to whether there were any ambushes by gang members, and explained softly: "Every time Hongyue, the number of demonized people will increase. Once he becomes a demonized person, except for professionals and real power, even a big businessman will be overturned by his children or enemies, take away all his property, and kicked into the lower city."

"After all, the demonized person is indeed often crazy, and he can kill people and can eat people, and he is almost incurable... Just like me, if it weren't for the professor who helped me suppress the demonization symptoms three years ago, then I would probably have killed half of the children in the orphanage before being petrified by my own power."

Speaking of this, Seneca even smiled bitterly, and he looked around the surrounding streets: "The City of Evande is pretty good. I still remember that some areas in the central part of the empire not only deny that the demonized is human, but also make the demonized into tools."

"tool?"

Su Zhou frowned slightly. He didn't like to hear the word tools on the topic of "people".

But the boy's tone seemed to be common: "Yes, tool."

"Cut off the limbs, cut off the tongue, dig off the eyes, pierce the eardrum, break the spine, and then add brainwashing spells to use the demonizer as a supernatural tool for the **... I remember that in the village where Isabella was born, there was a custom of making the demonizer into a pillar of the human guardian of the village."

"In this case, even if the demonized person goes crazy and goes wild, the damage will be reduced to a minimum and can be used as a weapon on weekdays."

Speaking of this, Seneca looked at Su Zhou with a strange look.

But thinking of his petrified gaze, he immediately lowered his head: "Isn't this the story you told us by Professor? Is it a matter of scaring us if we don't control our demonic and source energy well, we will end up..."

"Aunt Dariya often tells this kind of story, telling us that we should be obedient. Bad kids who are disobedient will be caught and become human pillars..."

Su Zhou turned his head and looked at Seneca and Daria, frowned slightly.

When... can fairy tales and scare stories for children be so dark?

Although the situation in the Aion continent is completely understandable, it is a little too much.

At this time, Su Zhou calmed down again and looked at the orphans who were moving forward.

The older child was holding the younger child's hand, Aunt Dariya was holding three little girls from previous magic weapons in her arms, and several children in poor health were lying on the suitcase that Su Zhou was dragging.
To be continued...
