When An Ran called Ellie again, she found that she had followed the car to the venue of the event, Rocinha in Monte Cristo, which is the largest slum in Brazil with a permanent population of 250,000.

Hearing this place name, An Ran shuddered, and his already suspicious heart became even more uneasy. This place name is absolutely familiar to people who love to watch movies, such as "The Incredible Hulk" and "Fast and Furious 5".

A series of movies were filmed in this slum.

This slum of 250,000 people has various industries developed in it, and there are also countless forces entrenched in it. Gangsters with guns can be seen everywhere on the streets. Although I have not yet witnessed this "City of God" with my own eyes,

It's really scary to dare to go here at night.

I casually hailed a taxi, and in the driver's weird eyes, An Ran told me that I was going to this small town. I was immediately dubbed a warrior by the driver.

Less than half an hour after leaving the city of Rio, you can see dots of light on the mountains in the distance. The irregular houses and winding roads are like a maze, making it difficult to figure out the east, west, north and south.

After getting out of the car, An Ran saw a man with shoulder-length hair on the side of the road wearing slippers and soliciting tourists for accommodation. He quickly walked up and asked, "Do you know what performances are going on here tonight?"

The long-haired man frowned, looked at An Ran from head to toe, then turned around and ran away, dragging a little boy with dreadlocks by the side of the road and pushing him in front of An Ran.

"I'm sorry, my uncle doesn't speak English. Could you please provide accommodation or something?"

After speaking, the little boy continued: "By the way, my name is Carlos. Our store is very clean."

An Ran took a look at the sky. The sun had completely set. Only a little bit of sunlight was still struggling on the horizon. It would be completely dark in less than half an hour. Some people had already turned on their incandescent lamps, and the street lamps began to glow and heat.

Already.

"I'm not here to stay. I just want to ask if there are any activities held here at night?" An Ran asked.

The moment An Ran finished speaking, Carlos raised his little head and looked at An Ran. After confirming that An Ran did not look like a police officer, he asked: "What kind of activities are you talking about? Drug selling activities, it's still the kind of um um ah ah ah

Activities." After saying that, Carlos twisted his body and made a few movements. An Ran could tell at a glance that he meant to find a woman.

In his malicious eyes, An Ran shook her head in embarrassment. How could this little boy, who was no more than ten years old, talk about such things so naturally? Maybe most of them were here.

The purpose of tourists here is to experience what he calls "medicine" and "um um ah ah" activities.

"What I'm talking about is, are there any activities to promote the Olympics here?"

Hearing this, An Ran obviously felt that he had lost interest. He lowered his head and said with an absent-minded look: "I heard that there is, near the supermarket, there are a lot of people there. But it's very boring."

"Then take me there! I have something very important." An Ran said anxiously.

Carlos hesitated after hearing this, then reluctantly stretched out three fingers, and then said: "30 reals, no counteroffer."

An Ran, who was anxious to see Ai Li, naturally did not make a counter-offer. He took out three banknotes from his wallet and handed them to him.

The moment An Ran opened his wallet, he clearly felt that his attitude had changed 180 degrees. Only then did An Ran realize that he exchanged nearly 10,000 U.S. dollars in reals on the plane and put it in his wallet. This was in the slums of Brazil.

But it's a huge sum of money.

Carlos looked at his uncle happily before leading the way with peace of mind.

"Let me tell you, if you don't have a local tour guide, you won't be able to find that place even if you are exhausted. And to put it bluntly, if you don't have a local guide, you might get bumped on the road.

"

Carlos walked struttingly on the street, greeting some shop owners enthusiastically, and from time to time he saw several people with guns saying hello to him. It seemed that this kid's family was definitely not that simple.

"Don't look around, or you might get into trouble. The gun is something you look at too, right?" Carlos was very unhappy when he saw An Ran's fearless look, and deliberately tried to scare him.

"Isn't it because of you? You will definitely protect me." An Ran smiled and said.

"You know what's going on. If you walk faster, you can get there in ten minutes." Carlos said with satisfaction, his dark face glowing red and looking very cute.

"Are you curious? It's your first time here?" Carlos asked curiously when he saw An Ran looking around.

Looking at An Ran, he doesn't look like an ordinary person. His calm demeanor looks very charming, but in his words, he always urges himself to hurry up. Carlos doesn't like this very much. He didn't see that my legs are so long.

.

"Yes, it's my first time, but I don't think it looks like a slum here. It's still pretty good."

An Ran casually drove away the two big black dogs that were blocking the road and barking at the two of them, and responded to Carlos.

"Tsk, you don't know that the poorer we are, the more

If you can live on the top of a mountain with inconvenient transportation, you can buy a large house on the mountain for 30,000 yuan. At the foot of the mountain, humming, the house at our house starts at least 90,000 yuan, and we can only buy a few small rooms."

Hearing Carlos speak proudly, Anron confirmed his idea, that is, the Carlos family is indeed very rich, at least it is not a truly poor family.

"Look at that house, that fat aunt with five daughters, that's pitiful, okay? She doesn't dare to buy a house on the top of the mountain, and can't afford to live at the bottom of the mountain." Carlos pursed his lips and glanced at the man walking on the roadside.

Several women in full bloom said to An Ran.

After taking one look at An Ran, he immediately looked away, and quickly recited hundreds of sentences in his mind, don't look at anything inappropriate.

As we walked up, there were more and more people, and the road became narrower and narrower. It could no longer accommodate two cars passing at the same time. Of course, there were no cars here. After walking for so long, An Ran found that most of the people were riding old cars.

Use old motorcycles and bicycles for transportation, which are very environmentally friendly.

However, the entire environment is getting worse and worse. There are uncollected garbage everywhere and some homeless men and women who cannot be identified are lying on the roadside.

"Give it if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to," Carlos said calmly.

Following his eyes, the higher you go up the road, the more homeless people there are. Most of them are relatively clean, but there are some who look sallow and skinny and look like they haven't bathed for a long time.

The moment An Ran took out his wallet, he felt no less than ten eyes looking over here, and even some people with guns looked over, but Carlos didn't step forward because of his dignity.

When he saw An Ran passing by the beggars and throwing a few coins to them one by one, Carlos raised the corner of his mouth and his impression of An Ran became much better.

There was a rumbling sound, and several motorcycles drove up from behind. It seemed that they saw Carlos leading a man who was very well-dressed and looked good. The people on the motorcycle stopped and asked: "You are also going to watch a show. Supermarket

There are people from the government there.”

An Ran looked up and immediately lowered his head, because his whole face was very scary. He had a nose ring and three or four earrings. He didn't look like a good person at first glance. He was wearing a black leather jacket and looked very young and Dangerous.

But a pair of sneakers on my feet looks weird.

Unexpectedly, the enthusiastic Carlos did not answer, but just hummed coldly. The boy on the motorcycle started the car again and drove away, asking for his own trouble. Several people who were also riding behind him quickly followed.

Then An Ran noticed that Carlos's face kept changing and his expression was very unnatural.
