Chapter 322 There Are Still Good People
The truck was moving forward on the road.
Its speed was not fast. The road seemed to have not been repaired, and it was a little bumpy.
However, it was fine for Gerald and the others.
As Watchmen, they had stayed in many harsh environments during their missions. The current one was just a piece of cake.
They chatted but suddenly stopped talking at the same time. A conversation could be heard.
"Hey, these people should be new here. They should be different from other people. If we leave them alone in Sin City, it might be very difficult for them to survive. They also have two girls. The girl who spoke to us is so sweet..." the middle-aged woman said.
"What can we do? Don't be too nosy." The middle-aged man's voice sounded. "In this damn place, it is difficult for us to even support ourselves. There are five of them. Don't be so kind. Haven't you suffered enough? Those people are armed. Do you know why they were exiled? Do you think they are good people?"
"They look like good people." The middle-aged woman's voice sounded. "Our house has two floors. We can clean up the upper floor for them to live in. It will be livelier with more people. It will also be
safer..."
"Don't be so kind!" The middle-aged man said, "At most, let them have lunch and tell them about the rules of survival in this place. As for the rest, let them be. I've told you many times that you should just mind your own business!"
The middle-aged woman sighed.
Next to her, the little girl said, "Dad, I want to be friends with that beautiful lady!"
Behind them, hearing their conversation, Gerald and the others were silent.
There were no good people in Sin City. This was their understanding of this city.
The people there would not take the initiative to help others apart from their teammates.
Most people were very cold toward strangers!
The conversation between the couple stunned them.
Of course, Gerald did not think that they deliberately said it for him to hear. The noise of this truck was very loud. People who were not at the top level could not be able to hear their conversation clearly. If this middle-aged man recognized that his group members were at the top level, he would
definitely not dare to let them get in his truck unless he was very powerful!
But if he was very powerful, he did not need to rely on transporting vegetables to make a living! "Damn it!" Theo cursed. "There are still good people in Sin City!"
"Pretend that you didn't hear anything and observe them later!" Gerald exhaled and said, "If they are indeed kind people, we will replace a way to live in their house and... give them a hand when they are in need!"
The others also nodded.
The truck slowly moved forward. It was very slow. After more than four hours, they finally approached Sin City. From afar, they saw the outline of the city.
Then, the truck drove into Sin City!
The five of them sat in the back and sized up the city.
The buildings in the city were not very tall, and the tallest only had about a dozen stories.
Most of them had only two or three stories, but the buildings were quite dense.
There were very few pedestrians on the streets. The pedestrians were all holding weapons in their
hands.
Valery looked at it for a while before slowly letting out a breath. "So, this is Sin City, right?"
Gerald nodded and explained, "Yes. Sin City has five districts. The Eastern District, the Western District, the Southern District, the Northern District, and the Central District! Most people would not go to the Central District, nor would they provoke it."
Gerald continued, "This place actually looks no different from the outside world. There are bars, karaoke, casinos, supermarkets... But how should I put it? These places are all run by powerful
If someone people. To put it simply, laws don't really work here. There are only a few rules set up. breaks the rules, the people of the person in the Central District would act. They are also the only law- enforcement officers in Sin City. You can do whatever you want as long as you don't break the
rules.
"For example, this truck driver should belong to the lowest level in Sin City, and the place he lives is probably the edge of the city. His life is quite difficult, but in order to survive, they can only bite the bullet. They may not have committed any crimes, but their predecessors might have. People can enter this place but can't leave. His children can only live in this place for a lifetime," Gerald said.
"This kind of place should not exist." Valery did not like this kind of environment. She felt that in modern society, such a place should not exist!
Gerald smiled and said, "This place is a paradise for those in the underground world. Have you
thought about this? If this place disappears, many people in the underground world will live in the city we live in. Most of these people are criminals. What kind of consequences will they cause? Can Watchmen deal with everything?"
Valery was stunned and then sighed.
At this time, Kristen frowned and said, "We seem to be heading toward the Eastern District!"
When the truck drove through the city, people would notice it sometimes. When they saw Gerald and the others sitting in the truck, they would reveal some disdain.
The truck passed through the city and moved toward the edge. Most people living at the edge of the city were at the bottom level in Sin City. Of course, they still had places to live, but their places might not be that good.
The truck finally stopped in front of a small building. Gerald looked at it. This small building had two floors, but it was not well-renovated.
There were also some people around. The population was quite dense. However, they became not so friendly when they saw Gerald and the others. It was a bit strange!
When they saw Valery, someone even whistled!
"Hey, Roger, you've brought more people over again out of goodwill!"
"Tsk, tsk. Is it because the girls are pretty and you want to have some concubines?"
There were some teasing sounds around.
"Get lost!" The middle-aged man jumped out of the truck impatiently and scolded, "Can't you see that the people I brought back all have sabers in their hands? They are all very powerful. They are experts at the top level. I am relying on them to change my fate. You know nothing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter around him.
"If so, why would they take your truck for transporting vegetables?"
"More people have come to your house now. You won't have enough money to pay for the
protection fee this month."
"Come here. Ignore these people. Come in with me quickly!" At this time, the middle-aged woman jumped out of the truck with the child in her arms.
Gerald and the others nodded and also ran out of the truck. Valery frowned and said, "They ... seem to know that we are new at a glance.",
Gerald nodded and said, "Yes. Probably because we are all wearing clothes from the outside. Look
at Claude. His clothes are so clean and still have the brand logo. Only people who have just come here will wear such clothes, so we are easy to be recognized." Valery nodded.
They did not say much but followed the middle-aged woman and walked into the room.
The house was spacious, but there was no good furniture inside. There were only some wooden chairs and everywhere was a bit messy. There was also a small yard behind.
It was a little like a roughcast house that had not been renovated. However, such a house in a city
like Washington and Sacramento would not be cheap!
"Sit down and have lunch here. I'll go cook for you!" the middle-aged woman said with a sincere
look on her face.
Gerald nodded.
The middle-aged woman went to the kitchen and did not tell the dirty little girl in her arms to wash up. It seemed that they were already used to being dirty.
The little girl wasn't afraid of strangers. She squatted in front of Gerald and the others and blinked at them. Then, she jumped to Valery and asked curiously, "Miss, are you really from the outside? I heard from my parents that it is peaceful outside. It is illegal to beat people. Criminals will be arrested. There are also schools. Children like us can study in there!"
