Chapter 1 The Underworld of the Mire

When the world begins to have heaven and earth, high and low will inevitably appear. And when high and low appear, the comparison will also appear.

There are highs and lows in heaven and earth, there are highs and lows in clouds, the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and there are highs and lows in life.

To put it irresponsibly: In the human society from ancient times to the present, the rich are high and the poor are low.

This contradiction has never been eliminated or even reduced since the emergence of human beings.

The richer the richer the poorer the poorer the poorer.

The gap between the rich and the poor, even now that it is known as a highly civilized society, is still a gap that no economist can solve.

Oh, I forgot to say that it is now the 3008th year of the Federal calendar, and it is the third thousand years since the people on this planet survived here. Before that, the indigenous people on this planet had never seen these immigrants and invaders.

In short, at this time 3008 years ago, the human invaders who came to this planet from a distant place forcibly occupied the planet. While driving away and slaughtering the indigenous people, they settled and reproduced here. The name of this planet is also nicknamed by some people with nostalgia - Earth. As for the place called Earth before, who knows what is going on now.

In short, people with earth civilization continue their civilization on this new earth. However, the new place has unchangeable characteristics of the new place. After years of running-in and adaptation, the Federalists finally fully adapted to this place a thousand years ago and began to develop and extend new civilizations based on the planetary environment.

Compared with the Federalist's previous Earth home, the land area on this new earth accounts for two-thirds of the total area of ​​the planet, and the remaining one-third are occupied by the ocean. Among these two-thirds of the land area, one-fifth of them is uninhabitable to humans. The remaining four-fifths are divided into eight large and small areas by the federal government from north to south. Each area is of different sizes and is governed by territory. Among them, there are three slum areas, two civilian areas, two upper-class areas, and one class area.

From the map, the entire mainland plate is in a pyramid shape from top to bottom, from north to south. The top and the north are one-third of the areas that humans cannot live in. From there, there are a slum area, a civilian area, an upper area, a class area, an upper area, a civilian area, and the last two slum areas.

The federal population is 5 billion, of which 3 billion live in slums. The remaining 2 billion are distributed in the remaining five areas in a three-to-one ratio.

The muddy area is the most famous of the three slums in the federal government.

It is not because its per capita income is as low as single digits, nor because its total population exceeds 1.2 billion, nor because of its worst security, or its geographical location is the most northerly, closest to those "non-human" creatures.

It's because of its housing prices, or its land prices.

If Xinghua District and Liluo District in the upper federal area are places where every inch of land is valuable, and Yunrang District in the federal class area is a place where even money can’t be bought, then the first slum area in the federal area is a place where a thousand dollars can’t be bought even if there is a life!

Its expensive land price is the highest in the entire federal!

A slum with a per capita income of only a single digit, but owns the most expensive land price level in the entire federal! This situation has never happened in all previous human history.

However, the mud zone is such an area.

Because for the people in this area, land is what they lack the most!

Especially, in winter...

“Hu—Hu—Hu—Hu—”

The whistling sound of the extreme north wind passing through the frozen stone forest was like a lullaby singing clumsyly by the drunkard father of an incomplete tone. While making people feel uncomfortable, the urging people to be drowsy.

Zhao Zhuo leaned on the cold wall and was dozing in a daze. He wore a big hat that almost covered his eyes, a tattered, thick and musty-smelling fur coat, his hands curled up in his sleeves, and the Kusanagi boots under his feet were covered with feces of some kind of creature. Under the baking of the surrounding temperature, it emitted a frown stench. However, against the backdrop of the surrounding environment, this stench that was definitely enough to kill an upper noble also seemed a bit dispensable.

Looking around, Zhao Zhuo is located in a very crowded hall. Under the dim lights, the entire hall is full of people. Although it is extremely cold winter and the temperature outside is even lower than minus ten degrees Celsius, the temperature of this hall is kept at a very suitable stage due to the large number of people. Inversely proportional to the temperature that makes people feel comfortable is the air quality in this hall.

The smell of rotten and moldy food, the smell of filth that alcoholics vomited after being drunk, the smell of excrement after being incontinent for some elderly people, and various messy smells that are absolutely unpleasant. The mixture is mixed and intertwined in this dim hall, and against the background of the dim light, it is so strange and harmonious. Compared with these strange smells that can definitely kill a normal person, the little feces on Zhao Zhuo's feet are simply fragrant.

No one in the entire hall felt that it was inappropriate for such an environment that ordinary people could not stand. Those who should sleep continued to sleep with their arms, those who should drink and play cards, and those who should hold wine and bottles to pick their feet and continue to play cards. In a corner of the hall, there was a middle-aged couple who were performing the most primitive human catharsis as if no one was around. The originally dirty and smelly air suddenly added such a stinky smell.

In fact, in the entire mud area, there are a large number of people born in such a public place when they were born. As for the things about shame in the past civilization, they have long been squeezed by life and not even the residue left.

People always have to adapt to the environment and survive. Shame is a nearly luxurious quality for people in slums.

He himself didn't know whether Zhao Zhuo was born in such an environment. The only thing he knew was that in the future, he would never let his children live in such an environment.

His biggest dream in his life is to be able to buy a house in Xinghua District.
