Chapter 204 The Underground City with Undercurrents
After entering the interior with the green light, Qu Xiao did not see any outrageous scenes along the way as he expected. If he hadn't learned about the situation from Zhao Sancheng, he would have really thought that this was a very ordinary treatment site.
However, the sour smell mixed in the air still exists, which shows that this place is not as simple as it looks. From time to time, staff will occasionally cast strange eyes at the two of them, which is different from other places in the black market. Although this large building is open to the public on weekdays, no one will be interested in visiting it.
After walking all the way to the gate of the control area, Zhao Sancheng stopped. If everything outside just was just a peaceful appearance, then the hidden content in the control area was undoubtedly the most explosive part of this building.
Of course, the control area is not open to the public, so Qu Xiao and Zhao Sancheng can only stop there, but Qu Xiao did not give up inquiries about the situation inside. He pressed his ears against the closed door of the control area and vaguely heard the noise of dumping garbage inside.
The noise of movement is quite loud, and it seems that the size of the garbage should be quite large. During this period, Qu Xiao heard some extremely strange movements, as if he was crushing some hard object. When the machine inside made a "clang" motion, occasionally one or two harsh sounds caused by the dislocation of the shaft.
What is packing and squeezing...

Qu Xiao was thinking, when Zhao Sancheng suddenly patted his shoulder and reminded that the two of them did not really come to visit this trip. They are now waiting in a crowd at the gate of the control area, just to inquire about the situation from those staff who are qualified to enter.
It happened that a short cleaner came over at this time. The man was wearing a very standard work clothes and a plain baseball cap on his head. Because there was only the exit of the gate of the control area in this direction, so as to see the cleaner walking towards him, Zhao Sanshima realized that this guy probably had the right to go in.
He winked at Qu Xiao, and Qu Xiao knew how to stand up to block the cleaner's path, but strangely, the latter didn't say anything when he saw this, but turned his body sideways and wanted to take a detour to avoid Qu Xiao.
Is this normal? Obviously there is a problem!
Qu Xiao had already made plans to be scolded, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was so abnormal. However, he didn't have time to think too much at this time, and reached out and grabbed the cleaner's arm. Qu Xiao could feel that this person should be a woman.
It’s not because of how tender and smooth her skin is. After all, there is a layer of work clothes, Qu Xiao can’t touch this level of touch at all. He just found that the man’s arm bones were very slender. It was impossible for a normal man to have such slender hand bones.
The woman was stunned after being grabbed by Qu Xiao's arm, and then she couldn't help but raise her head. Qu Xiao was about to ask if this guy had seen an old man in recent times, but what made him suddenly lose the ability to think was that the woman in front of him looked not very young, this guy...
He is actually an old man!
The reason why Qu Xiao was surprised by the age of a woman was that after he went down to the black market, he had never seen an old face again. In fact, he had never seen many elderly people along the way from the city. The elderly in this refuge seemed to be dead. I guess he could not get a lot of people together.
And the reason for this situation is probably because it has nothing to do with this place.

The old woman looked at Qu Xiao and pulled her hat brim in panic. Obviously, she didn't want others to discover her true appearance. This guy seemed to be trying his best to hide something at this time.
"You... aren't the staff here?" Qu Xiao asked tentatively.
The old man was suddenly panicked when he heard this. She began to defend herself with a stuttering. The general meaning of the words was that she was indeed an employee.
But as an old lie, Qu Xiao could not see such an obvious lie? Zhao Sancheng also came over at this time. He told Qu Xiao that the city treats the elderly very harshly, and provides jobs and other things. Unless it is a cheap black worker, no one is willing to spend money to hire such workers who may have bad physical conditions at any time.
At this point, the old man's lies were exposed at once. She looked at the two people in front of her in horror, and then began to beg them not to expose her identity to the outside world. She said that it was not easy for her to stay here now. If the two really told this situation, she would probably be sent directly into the stove inside.
As soon as he heard this, Qu Xiao and Zhao Sancheng Ma smelled the opportunity.
"So you actually have the right to enter, right?" Qu Xiao asked, pointing to the door behind him.
The old woman nodded in fear and signaled to everyone the work permit hanging on her chest, but the face printed on it was not her at all.
“You can enter by swiping this card…”
"You are indeed a fake guy." Qu Xiao took the card and looked carefully. He found that the original owner of the card seemed familiar. When he entered the door just now, the young girl seemed to have received him and Zhao Sancheng. Although Qu Xiao didn't pay much attention at that time, he could still remember the girl's appearance very clearly.

It seems that there are many secrets hidden in this place...
Qu Xiao thought for a while, and he was not prepared to be too embarrassed for the old man in front of him. He told the old man bluntly that he and Zhao Sancheng wanted to enter the control area to see. The old man originally wanted to tell them that it was dangerous inside, but after seeing the "must-do" expression on the faces of the two of them, she swallowed and swallowed all the words she was about to remind her.
After taking the two into the control area, the old man continued to disguise himself. Although Qu Xiao and Zhao Sancheng thought this matter was strange, this was not the thing they urgently needed to care about now.
Qu Xiao did not forget that he was here to find someone. He began to secretly check the objects in the control area. Along the way, he and Zhao Sancheng were very careful. Finally, their hard work paid off. They successfully avoided the staff inside and came to the door of a room where they were storing information.
The door inside was not locked alone, and the two of them easily slipped in. They didn't know if they didn't flip it. They were shocked. The list of people who were burned here over the years alone had a total of three shelves!
"Mad, does this have to be so dehumanized to do such a thing..."
I casually searched through the booklets of these records, and the information of each person was just a name and a string of simple address records. Among them, almost all of them were elderly people. They had originally lived in this city, but after they lost their effective labor force in their late years, they were dealt with by the government here in a centralized manner.
If such behavior is placed before the end of the world, it will cause a stir in society, but now it is a "rule" that is passed on from generation to generation in this dark underground city.
"This is actually nothing wrong..." Zhao Sancheng sighed while looking at the booklet in his hand, "The more chaotic the order is, the lower the value of human nature. If this kind of thing was placed in the past, it would be difficult for people to accept, but if it was placed in such a closed ecological environment where food is not enough or clothing is not warm, it is the simplest and most rude way to maintain social stability for a long time and deal with redundant groups regularly."
"Do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Qu Xiao disliked Zhao Sancheng's speech very much, "Didn't you think that one day you will get older?"

"Of course I've thought about this problem." Zhao Sancheng said frankly, "If they want to deal with me at that time, I will choose to leave myself."
"Leave? Where to go? Outside?" Qu Xiao couldn't help laughing at this time, "I'm a little curious, have you, you guy, left this city since you were born?"
"No." Zhao Sancheng replied bluntly, "All my current memories are given by this city."
"No wonder you can say such completely unrealistic words so easily..." Qu Xiao curled his lips, "Do you know what it means to leave this place and go to the outside world? Do you know how dangerous and terrible the outside world is? You may feel that you are still young and have a lot of things to do, but I still want to tell you that no matter how well you are prepared now, when you get old, you will have to die."
"That's better than being sent here to destroy it in a concentrated manner..." Zhao Sancheng's face still had the cold look of disdain. His values were based on this cold city, and he also seemed indifferent and ruthless.
Qu Xiao felt a little disappointed when he saw this. He still had too high expectations for the guys around him. In fact, as an indigenous native born and raised in the apocalyptic environment, it is reasonable that Zhao Sancheng could ignore human life so much.
But Qu Xiao should still say: "Don't you have the idea to change all this?"
"Why, after knowing these things, don't you want to find someone?"
"Of course not, I just... feel it."
"oh."

"What does it mean?" Qu Xiao turned to look at him, "The government is doing such an inhumane thing behind his back, and your reaction is just one?"
"Then how would I answer your question?" Zhao Sancheng continued to look through the list seriously, "I am just an ordinary fat man. I don't have the ability to do those grand things, nor the courage to do them."
"But you have accompanied me to such a place now..."
