In the narrow wooden house, the windows were nailed shut with wooden boards, leaving only a tiny gap.

Zhou Jinru and the thin Sakaz huddled by the window and looked out from the little gap. They saw about a hundred people running past the messy roadside. Almost everyone was fully armed. They said these people were

The search team is probably not very accurate.

It wasn't until those people walked away that Zhou Jinru lowered his voice: "You said this is the Sakaz quarantine area?"

He couldn't believe it. Why did he suddenly come here? Was the angel he saw before really Mastema?

It was still raining in the middle of the night when he left the mountain city, so there were traces of rain on his body, so it was indeed not a dream.

The thin Sakaz stared at him with his eyes, as if trying to find something on his mask, but all these efforts were in vain.

"You really don't know anything?"

"This is my first time here."

Zhou Jinru continued to look outside. The weather was sunny and there was no sign of rain.

Sakaz shook his head: "I can't believe you, please leave now and don't come back again, let alone linger in front of my house!"

This is home?

There are only a few pieces of furniture made of wood in the house. Due to the difficulty in ventilation, the smell is quite unpleasant. If this is a home, then the slums in Victoria are stronger than here.

Zhou Jinru didn't say anything else. He picked up his suitcase, carefully opened the door in Sakaz, and walked out quickly. When he heard the door panel closing behind him, he felt even more confused.

In 1098, the Sakaz people on this land basically obtained the conditions for living a normal human life. No one would imprison them, let alone slaves, living like livestock.

So, where is he at this moment?

Walking on the loess road on foot, Zhou Jinru looked around while walking. The buildings he could see basically all had a similar style. The main structure was made of wood, and few had a metal appearance. In addition, there were very few independent residences.

Most of them are shantytowns, which brings about an unavoidable problem of dirty and poor sanitary environment.

When he passed by a dense residential area, many people cast curious glances through the gaps in the windows.

"There are many emotional sources and they are very dense. There are many people here. Can the environment here really accommodate so many people?"

No one could answer the doubts in his heart.

Zhou Jinru was different from those timid Sakaz people. He strode along the road and strolled leisurely. He seemed to stand out from the crowd and was particularly eye-catching.

Soon, someone discovered him.

A group of guards wearing standard military uniforms came over. The leader was riding on horseback, looking at him condescendingly, and pointed with his whip:

"You, take off your hat!"

Zhou Jinru reached out and took off his hat calmly, raised his head, looked at the team leader opposite, and recognized that he was a Volper.

The team leader looked at the face of the man in front of him, feeling surprised but also feeling it was natural.

This is not a Sakaz.

The Sarkazi would not remain calm in the face of guards and whips like this.

"Who are you and why do you stay here?"

Unconsciously, the team leader's tone softened and he only asked simple questions.

Zhou Jinru said calmly: "I'm lost. I don't know where this place is. There are no road signs, no normal people, and I can't find the way out."

"Of course you can't find a way out here. There are monsters here. Understand, normal people won't stay here."

The team leader paused and asked again: "Sir, where is your identification?"

Zhou Jinru took out his ID. Of course, he belonged to Pingpan and he had a new identity.

"Victoria...Pingpan, I have never heard of Thomas Coatman, he is a doctor by profession..."

The leader didn't know where Shancheng was, but when he saw Victoria, his eyes changed. He got off his horse and handed the certificate back to Zhou Jinru with both hands with great respect.

"It turns out to be the distinguished gentleman from Victoria. What are you doing here?"

"I don't know, maybe because I'm a doctor."

It turns out that doctors from civilized societies always feel compassion when they see sick people, so they stay to see the patients. This makes sense.

The leader probably made a guess and felt that they were inseparable, otherwise he really couldn't figure out what connection Mr. Coatman had with the freaks here.

"To be honest, I have no idea about this place. Can you tell me where it belongs and what exactly happened."

It seems that this kind gentleman has been deceived by the freaks. No, it cannot be like this. This mistake must be corrected!

The leader straightened his back and said seriously: "Sir, you are standing in the territory of a free city-state. There are no racial prejudices, no distinctions between countries, and there will be no bloody conflicts because of beliefs. It is a truly free paradise!

We have a common name, Gotham Man."

Zhou Jinru blinked his eyes, wondering if his ears heard it wrong. He said a lot in front of him, was he trying to amuse me?

Is there any freedom at all here?

The team leader seemed to notice that he was hesitant to speak, and added: "Mr. Cotman, you don't have to worry about this, these demons can't be considered human beings at all!"

Demon guy!

When he heard this title, Zhou Jinru's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that in the history of Sakaz rising three times and being destroyed three times, the word "demon guy" was used throughout, until the Sakaz royal court was re-established and wandering around.

The Sakaz on this land gathered like streams, forming a terrible force. Discrimination, injustice and oppression were hidden under the power of swords, guns and staffs.

Hiding does not mean disappearing. There are still many areas pointing at the backs of the Sakaz and secretly cursing the demons.

Later, Sarkazi fell into civil war, the once powerful royal court collapsed, and the Sarkazi people were once again displaced.

Before Kazdaele was re-established, the most recent incident of oppression and counter-oppression occurred in Gotham.

"So I'm in Gotham, and these Sarkarz..."

"What are you talking about?"

Zhou Jinru shook his head: "When can we leave?"

He is only one person, and the power of one person is limited. Even the gods on earth cannot prevent the disputes among humans.

Besides...

Gotham, which advocates freedom, is inherently biased.

It is a castle of freedom, but this freedom is relative. There are many countries or organizations providing support behind it, many of which draw nutrients from Sakaz.

"Of course, let's leave now."
