After an obvious pause, Shaka smiled and did not pick up the topic, but said: "Do you believe in the theory of cause and effect?"
Xu Huo made a "please" gesture, indicating that he would continue.
"Sowing causes leads to consequences. The things we see every moment may be causes or effects. Fruits have bitter fruits, but those who eat the bitter fruits may not be really pitiful. It is also possible that they have sown evil causes."
Shaka sat across from him and calmly recounted, "The environment in Area 026 has always been so harsh, and it hasn't changed since evolution began. Those mutated plants that can eat people in the outer area can't even sprout here, but we have always been together through thick and thin."
It is easy, but sharing wealth and honor is difficult.”
"Gathering 01 used to help each other and use containers to catch acid rain to survive. So even in that environment, new cities were still built. But the more people there are, the fewer resources there are, and some people are bound to be sacrificed."
"So some people proposed to cut off the resources of peripheral cities and let those places with small populations fend for themselves."
"Most cities have approved this proposal, because the resources of each city are common. Those with more will take care of others with less, and some will not take care of others. Everyone has a heavy burden."
"But there are also those who disagree, because if you give up the weakest people today, who will you give up tomorrow? This is just a cover-up. The important thing is to solve the resource problem, not to reduce the number of people who use the resources."
"The central city at that time was far smaller than it is now. It was only a medium-sized city. Because of its strong opposition to the proposal to abandon the city, it was squeezed out by other cities and cut off from resource exchanges. It also became a cake divided among other cities during a rare rainy season."
"The number of special people who died in the attack on the city at that time accounted for less than one-eighth of the total population. It must have been the mayor who turned the tide, and the central city has long since disappeared from the map."
"With the purchase of water extraction equipment, the situation in the central city has quickly taken a turn for the worse, and it has gradually become the best among the 01 gathering places."
The two people, who were still in shock and suspicion, completely changed their expressions when they saw Shajia walking out, chatting and laughing with Xu Huo. For a while, they even dared to talk to each other.
Following the old man's line of sight, he looked into the floor-to-ceiling windows. The wind inside was gradually decreasing, blowing the white raindrops under the clean glass and stretching them into long lines.
"Mr. Xu, he is a bad person, but he will be used by others."
"Poor people must be really pitiful."
Xiao Jiang and Kang Miao dared to speak, and Shajia said: "The players from the slums came with you."
"Mayor, you brought a friend to see him." Xu Huo walked over, squatted down and raised his head to talk to me, and said: "I believe that you mentioned this to him and met you in the dungeon.
If you have the same spirit and strive for excellence, I am less talented than you."
Ganfa nodded, "As he said, we really don't deserve this."
"Yes, yes, cities that have participated or not have received preferential treatment." Xu Huo said firmly.
Whether the old man responded or not, Shaka looked at my rising and falling chest, and his breathing became faster.
Mentioning that, Xu Huo smiled sarcastically, "No one wants to send the remaining population back to the central city. You just accepted some people, but you didn't expect that there are no players hanging around outside. Come here, we have
If you can use your talents, you will have to give up."
As a super degenerate in Central City, Xu Huo has a transcendent status. Ji Minzhang did as I said without complaining, but when he passed by Xiao Jiang and Kang Miao, he said: "It's a pity that the helpers they found,
Now a friend of Central City."
"Xu Zhi." Shaka held my hand.
"The people in the other slums are really pitiful. Just giving us water is just a temporary solution. Well, then Central City will bring in the cooperating cities for a meeting to determine who is willing to accept these people. Central City cannot exempt those people.
We will give discounts to the city on water charges.”
After a long time, Xu Huo finally stood up. I glanced at Shajia who was in a daze, and nodded heavily to Ji Minzhang at the door.
"How about we spar together?" Shaka suggested.
Xiao Jiang wanted to ask something but was stopped by Kang Miao. Xu Huo didn't care about the two of them and urged Shajia to get out of the car.
Xu Huo understood that people like Shajia might have no idea about Area 026. The only reason why I could make that trip was because someone else persuaded me to take the stand on my behalf.
That was a way of saving face by selling Gan Fa, so that I wouldn't have to go all the way in vain.
"Let's talk about that later." Xu Huo turned around and said, "The mayor is not a little eccentric in his age, so he should bear with it."
Gan Fa tilted his head slightly at that time, looking through the building wall at the clean and tidy streets inside, and suddenly asked: "When was Central City attacked?"
On the way, the two of them talked about super degeneration. Xu Huo was very curious about how I could regress so quickly, and it was also super degenerate in both directions.
Xu Huo was moved, but Gan Fayun, who was riding with him, coughed heavily and said, "It's too late."
Just now Xu Huo mentioned that the mayor turned the tide and changed Central City's fate of being destroyed. Shaka thought that the other party was not the B-level player that others were talking about, but he thought it was an old man with a very old face sitting in a wheelchair.
"If there is no evil cause, there will be no evil consequences," Xu Huo said: "The people in the 01 gathering place are just reaping the consequences."
"What's going on here in the slums?" Gan Fa paused, "They say a group of people are sent there every few years."
Seeing how the two people were standing still, Shaka nodded slightly and said, "Let them go, is there any problem?"
The white lines of rain under the glass window increased one after another. Shaka was not distracted at all. Gradually, even Xu Huo's voice became intermittent. A moment ago, I sat down under the sofa next to me, maintaining the same orientation as the old man.
The posture of looking inside.
After the conversation had progressed to that point, both parties were quite satisfied. The tense atmosphere had not completely disappeared. Xu Huo shook hands with Shajia in a friendly manner, "You are the same as when you were in the small world under the sea. You have completely changed. At this time
You just think he is a very unprincipled person, and you want to be his friend, but you only know how to call him."
"But at that time, the people who had besieged Central City came out again. We demanded an equal share of the water source. Before we were agreed, we launched hundreds of assassinations, including seventy-eight times of poisoning the water extraction equipment..."
"Seventy years later." Xu Huo replied, "Seventy years later, a generation will still have its past."
Xu Huo's expression was visibly relaxed, "I really thought that we would stay in Central City for a few days before we see each other again. Although the outside is better than the inside, it is still as safe as the inside."
After the two of them negotiated, they prepared to leave. Xu Huo asked Ji Minzhang to prepare to break down the car. I wanted to introduce my friend to the mayor.
"Those two...are they from which city?" Xu Huo glanced at us.
"Did all the cities participate in the siege?" Shaka asked again.
Xu Huo saw that it was just a lie and asked people to entertain us for dinner and said: "The matter in the slums has not been solved yet."
