Players Please Get In the Car

After an obvious pause, Shaka smiled and didn't pick up the topic, but asked, "Do you believe in causality?"

Xu Huo made a "please" gesture, signaling him to continue.

"There are causes and effects. The things we see every moment may be causes or effects. Fruits have bitter fruits, but the people who eat the bitter fruits may not be really pitiful, and they may have planted evil causes." Sha Jia sat across from him, talking calmly, "The environment in Area 026 has always been so harsh, and it hasn't changed since the evolution began. Those mutant plants that can eat people in the outer area can't sprout here, but they have always shared weal and woe. Easy, sharing wealth and honor is difficult.”

"The 01 gathering place used to help each other, and used containers to hold the acid rain to survive. So even in that environment, new cities were built, but the larger the population, the fewer resources, and some people will inevitably be sacrificed."

"Therefore, some people proposed to cut off the resources of marginal cities and let those places with small populations fend for themselves."

"Most cities have passed this proposal, because the resources of all cities are common, more care is given to less, some care is not, and everyone has a heavy burden."

"But there are also those who disagree, because the weakest people are given up today, and who will be given up tomorrow.

"At that time, the central city was far smaller than it is now. It was only a medium-sized city. Because it strongly opposed the proposal to abandon the city, it was squeezed out by other cities, cutting off the flow of resources, and became a cake shared by other cities in a rare rainless season."

"Ordinary people died in the siege of the city at that time as many as one-third of the total population. If the mayor hadn't turned the tide, Central City would have disappeared from the map long ago."

"Later, with the purchase of water collection equipment, the situation in the central city gradually improved, and it gradually became the top among the 01 clusters."

"But at this time, the people who had besieged the central city came out again. They demanded an equal share of the water source. After being rejected, they launched no less than a hundred assassinations, including twenty-three poisoning of the water collection equipment..."

"Evil consequences come from evil causes," Shaka said, "The people in the 01 gathering place are just eating their own evil consequences."

Sha Jia understands that a person like Xu Huo can't have a plan for District 026. The only reason he can make this trip is because other cities persuade him to act on his behalf.

"Mr. Xu, you are a good person, but don't be used by others."

"Poor people are not necessarily really poor."

Xu Huo tilted his head slightly at this time, looking through the building wall to the clean and tidy street outside, and suddenly asked: "When did the central city be attacked?"

"Twenty years ago." Shaka replied, "Twenty years, a generation has not passed."

"Did all the cities participate in the siege?" Xu Huo asked again.

"No, but the cities that didn't participate got preferential treatment." Shaka said firmly.

"What's going on over there in the slums?" Xu Huo paused, "It is said that a group of people will be sent there every few years."

Speaking of this, Shaka couldn't help laughing mockingly, "Someone tried to send the extra population into the central city. At the beginning, we accepted some people, but we didn't expect that some players were mixed in. Later, they had nothing to do and had to give up. .”

Xu Huo nodded, "As you said, it is indeed what they deserve."

Shaka's expression was visibly relaxed, "I really didn't expect that we would see each other one day. Why don't you stay in Central City for a few days. Although it's not as dangerous as outside, it's not as dangerous as outside."

"In addition, the people in the slums are indeed pitiful, but just sending them water is not a cure for the symptoms. Let's see, the central city will bring the cooperating cities to a meeting. If anyone is willing to accept those people, the central city can reduce the water bill for these people , give the city a discount.”

This can be regarded as selling Xu Huo's face, lest he make a trip in vain.

Up to this point in the conversation, both parties are quite satisfied. The previous tense atmosphere has completely disappeared. Sha Jia shook hands with Xu Huo in a friendly way, "You are the same as when you were in the big sea world. It hasn't changed at all. At that time, I felt You are a very principled person, and I really want to make you a friend, but I don't know how to call you."

"Xu Zhi." Xu Huo held his hand.

The two negotiated and prepared to leave. Sha Jia asked Ji Minzhang to prepare the car, and he wanted to introduce his friend to the mayor.

As the super evolutionary of Central City, Shaka's status is supernatural. Ji Minzhang was quite critical but did as he said, but when he passed by Dajiang and Kang Miao, he said: "It's a pity that the helper you found, Friends in Central City now."

The two of them, who were in shock, completely changed their expressions when they saw Xu Huo who came out talking and laughing with Sha Jia, and they didn't even dare to speak up for a while.

"Which city are these two... from?" Shaka glanced at them.

Dajiang and Kang Miao dare not speak, Xu Huo said: "The players from the slums came with me."

Seeing through, Sha Jia asked them to entertain them to dinner, and said: "The matter of the slums has been resolved."

Seeing the two standing still, Xu Huo nodded slightly, "You guys go, there's no problem."

Da Jiang wanted to ask something but was held back by Kang Miao. Sha Jia didn't care about the two of them and urged Xu Huo to get in the car.

On the way, the two talked about super evolution, and Shaka was very curious about how he made such rapid progress, and it was a two-way super evolution.

"Why don't we discuss it?" Xu Huo suggested.

Sha Jia was moved, but Ji Minzhang, who was in the same car, coughed lightly, "We're almost there."

"Let's talk about this later." Shaka turned around, "The mayor is a little bit weird in his old age, so please bear with him."

Just now Sha Jia mentioned that the mayor turned the tide and changed the fate of Central City being destroyed. Xu Huo thought that the other party was the B-level player that others said, but he didn't expect it to be a very old man sitting in a wheelchair.

"Mayor, I brought a friend to see you." Shaka walked over, squatted down and raised his head to talk to him, and said, "He is the one I mentioned to you in the dungeon, just like me." The spirit of the super evolutionary, but he is more talented than me."

The old man didn't respond, Xu Huo looked at his slowly rising and falling chest, and his breathing also slowed down.

Following the old man's line of sight and looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the wind outside is getting stronger, blowing the blackened raindrops onto the clean glass, and pulling them into long lines.

The black rain lines on the glass window increased one after another, Xu Huo was a little dazed, and gradually even Shaka's voice became intermittent. After a while, he sat down on the sofa next to him, keeping his face outward like the old man. Look at the pose.

After an unknown amount of time, Sha Jia finally stood up. He glanced at Xu Huo in a daze, and nodded slightly to Ji Minzhang outside the door.
