Chapter 447

"Pull your hat down." Hong quietly put away her bone knife and whispered to Lin Jie.

As she wished, Lin Jie raised his hand and lowered his hood while looking up at the entire greenhouse community.

The conditions here are even more unpleasant than the first time Lin Jie saw the place.

If there were still a lot of cement-filled rooms in the place just now, with honeycomb-like small single rooms pulled out on the wall, there are really only some tents set up with plastic tarpaulins here.

And there was a very strong smell of corpses.

Lin Jie frowned slightly, then heard Hong behind him and asked, "How long have you been in the downtown area?"

Lin Jie immediately replied obediently, "According to NUO Jin's time, it's only five hours."

After hearing this, Hong smiled suddenly and asked, "Hurry up and take out all the food on your body!"

After hearing this, Lin Jie immediately raised his hands, showing his empty hands, and said, "I'm really sorry, I didn't think of it when I came here."

"Liar!" Hong opened her round eyes wide, and the beastly pupils did not pose much threat on Hong's face.

"Really not." Lin Jie said distressedly.

Hong frowned, a little annoyed, obviously he robbed a person in the upper area with great difficulty, but he didn't even have food.

Seeing that he didn't look like a liar, he muttered angrily: "I heard that people in the upper city hate each other, and there are often framed and robbery... This guy looks stupid, could it be that he was killed by his companions?" Robbed?"

Lin Jie looked at Hong with some amusement.

"Then you haven't eaten for a long time, right?" Hong asked hesitantly after muttering.

Lin Jie nodded solemnly without hesitation.

"Besides, I can still eat." Lin Jie said solemnly: "If I don't eat for another hour, I will most likely die."

"Death?!" Hong opened his eyes wide, showing some fear.

"My grandma is going to change food. If everything goes well, I can come back at night." Hong pushed Lin Jie and let him enter the shed. There were two beds and a cabinet in the small shed.

"I can give you a little bit at that time, but you remember, I just want to keep you from starving to death."

In that small hut, a lot of things can be knocked down just by turning around, the floor is covered with muddy water, only two tree poles are inserted into the ground to support the tarpaulin, and there is a strong smell of decay and The pungent smell of feces and urine.

Lin Jie glanced at the wooden bed, the sheets on it were black and clumped, and there was a layer of gravel lying quietly at the bottom of the water glass by the bed.

Lin Jie sat on the bed and looked at Hong carefully.

She has a big red face with a short tentacle chin. She is different from others. The tentacles on her chin are always spinning around excitedly.

"Why are you looking at me?" Hong opened his eyes wide and said a little embarrassedly.

Although Lin Jie had an unremarkable life, in the lower urban area, the standard of beauty was in the upper area, unpolluted by the fog.

Hong was a little embarrassed to be stared at by this noble face.

"It's strange, why are you red?" Lin Jie asked curiously, "I think most people are green."

"Hmph," Hong raised his head proudly, and said, "Because I was born near the Red Crystal Mine, my mother ate a lot of Red Crystal Mine before giving birth to me, so I am Red, and my name is also because of this That's why it's called red."

Lin Jie nodded and continued to ask, "Where are your parents?"

Hong paused for a moment, and said: "My father died in the tunnel collapse, my mother ate too much crystal mine, my grandparents, grandpa, they all turned into gray fog, and I live with my grandma... Hey! Don't try to trick me." If so, you are the criminal!"

Turning into a gray mist—the lower city is synonymous with death. People in the lower city think that they were born in the gray mist, born with sin, and will die from the gray mist.

This is the result of brainwashing by the rulers of the upper zone.

The cattle in the lower city are demons like the gray mist, destined to live in hell, be enslaved, and imprisoned...

The scary thing is that this statement is accepted by most of the lower city members.

Lin Jie ignored her complaining face and continued to say with a smile:

"Why do you want to dig ore here? It stands to reason that you are very strong when you are affected by the gray fog. Just break through the surface and rush out."

When Lin Jie said this, he seemed to think it was a matter of course, but after Hong understood what he said, he immediately widened his round eyes and reprimanded loudly, saying:

"Ah—how can there be someone like you?! Shut up, the tree witch will hear."

Lin Jie is speechless... Now the witch of the tree is my best friend Bai Yin, can you hear her?

"Boom!!"

Someone knocked sharply on the stump in front of the door.

Coupled with Lin Jie's "outrageous words" just now, Hong almost sat up in shock... Witch of the tree, did you hear that?

"Red!" A majestic male voice shouted outside the door.

Hong walked to the door nervously, opened the curtain, and a tall man in black robes stood out, looking down at Hong, his chin and tentacles raised slightly, he looked like an upper-class person in the lower city.

"Your grandmother was trampled to death while receiving food. From this month onwards, you will need to provide about four pieces of precious ore in exchange for food every month." After finishing speaking, the black-robed man walked straight to next household.

This shed is hardly a house, Lin Jie heard the sound of the door clearly, and fell into deep thought.

Hong seemed to have heard something unbelievable, before the man walked away, she rushed up and planted on the man's thigh like a mushroom, her eyes were full of despair, and she wept, "My lord, what are you doing?" Wrong! How could my grandma die?"

The man didn't even want to explain, he kicked Hong into the cement pit, her whole body was covered with muddy water, Hong was kicked by this big man, and felt pain like broken ribs.

The man said to her: "Your grandma is almost forty, damn it, very few people live that long, and they all make a lot of money."

"And..." The man turned his head to look at Hong, and said sarcastically, "Are you nine years old?...You are all adults, and you still have to report the child's share, and it is so dangerous to ask a grandmother like Lao Cheng to go out to get food. things."

"Isn't it normal to die?"

"No, no!" Hong ate his mouth full of mud, almost covered his whole body with mud, and cried loudly, "Grandma said I was still a child, and grandma told me not to become an adult!"

"Hong don't become an adult!" Hong yelled and cried.

The manager ignored Hong and let her cry alone in the mud. Lin Jie finally walked out of the tent and looked at Hong in the mud with a blank expression. Water seeped from the upper layer, covering her with mud .

Lin Jie stood beside her, waiting for her to faint from crying in the mud, then picked her up by one arm and threw her back into the tent.
