Following several gang members, Heshia got on the return car and then walked into the vertical elevator again.
Soon after, the elevator reached the top and returned to the remote bar. It was already 1 o'clock in the morning.
Facing the cool night breeze, the girl walked on the street, still thinking about the scene she saw underground. Although the people in the lower-class residential areas of Payin City had a hard life, it was not to the point where they could not survive at all.
It's just the hustle and bustle of information and all kinds of comparisons that make people gradually forget these details of life.
Even if residents in the federation lose all their jobs, they will not starve to death on the streets. When walking on the streets and residential areas, there are usually simple security booths at regular intervals with riot control robots parked inside to maintain the stability of public security.
With dense surveillance, few criminals can escape police pursuit.
You can say that there is a lot of corruption in the Federation, but it is not so ugly that it forces people to the point where they can no longer survive.
With the advancement of the times and the unprecedented increase in productivity, the basic food and materials needed to feed a person have become extremely cheap. Just a small grain from the huge industrial system is enough to provide them.
But people's desires will also grow. When everyone can breathe the air, no one will think that being able to breathe the air freely is such a great thing.
Isn't this a natural thing? Everyone thinks so, and then chases something that is beyond the people around them and different from others.
Hesia walked through the dark and deserted streets, came to a vertical elevator, and waited quietly.
She doesn't mean to say that this approach is wrong. Everyone has the freedom to pursue their own ideals and wishes and should not be criticized or harshly criticized. It's just that the comfort that exists at the beginning makes people gradually forget about the hard-won peace in front of them.
The elevator door opened, she jumped in lightly, and then pressed the floor number of the living area she was on. Then the elevator started, and layers of light and shadow passed through the glass and scratched her coat.
Time flows quietly, and the times move forward slowly. The pain of the past disappears, but new anxiety arises.
Never being satisfied, never stopping comparing, this is the source of human suffering and the ladder of progress.
The girl sighed softly and walked out after the elevator arrived, then returned to the familiar streets and scenery.
Forget it, forget it, it’s better not to think about these remote truths every day. I came back so late today. I don’t know if I can sleep well. I have to go to work tomorrow.
It would be great if she didn't have to go to work one day, the girl silently prayed in her heart.

The underground world, where the ‘Zhenshan Office’ team is located.
"Luther, are you ready?" Yang Dai stood in the middle of the passage, firing continuously at the monsters that were attacking, including humanoids and beasts.
"Okay, boss."
Afterwards, there was an explosion and collapse, and a large hole appeared on the top of the cave not far away.
"Very good, keep blasting, there should be an exit at the top."
The two of them had previously detected through the Eight Mountain Pan that there was a huge hole in the upper part of this area, which should be connected to many places. They could also use this to move and avoid the pursuit of these flesh and blood monsters, instead of escaping in a dead end.
While the two of them were blasting, on the other side of the underground world, Qiao Long was also chasing the invisible figure. Although he couldn't see it, he could judge the approximate location and direction based on the sound of footsteps.
It would definitely not work in a noisy place on the ground, but besides Qiao Long, the only one here is the other party.
"You guy, since you have killed so many of us, then you should repay with your life." Qiao Long looked directly at a certain direction in the cave, walked over step by step, and kept using words to stimulate the other person. He usually didn't talk much.
But at this time, some methods used in fighting in the underground world were also used.
"Are you afraid of hiding here, or are you ready to surrender?" He slowly stepped lightly, and his voice became more and more ups and downs.
The other party still didn't respond, Qiao Long no longer hesitated and decisively crushed the blue crystal in his hand. The blue crystal mist dispersed in an instant and spread in all directions.
In this shimmering crystal mist, the outline of a human figure finally appeared. It seemed that he should be a man.
"I found you." Qiao Long kicked his foot and rushed over, causing a roaring sound to break through the air.
Then he punched out, shattering the rock wall behind the man, but unfortunately the man still escaped.
"Damn it." The other party cursed, then turned around and ran away, and the two started chasing each other again.
However, this chase did not last long. Soon there was a huge earthquake under the feet, and then with a banging sound, the ground cracked and a pit fell. There were also bursts of gunfire from below.
"It exploded, boss."
Luther looked at the hole above his head and shouted excitedly. At this time, Yang Dai also began to move, letting the remaining teammates support each other and slowly retreat.
"This is..." Qiao Long looked down, frowning, thinking about how these people appeared, but the figure opposite who was stained with crystal mist jumped directly into the pit.
"Catch him, he is the culprit that caused this chaos!" Qiao Long didn't know the specific identity of the other party, but he knew that since they were fighting those flesh and blood monsters, they were the enemy of the enemy.
"Who!" The people below were surprised, and then looked at the black figure on the ground.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several blue bullet marks passed through the darkness and hit the fleeing figure. One shot missed, one hit the opponent's chest, and the other hit the shoulder.
A burst of light flashed across the black shadow's body, and he finally revealed his figure. He was wearing a special gray and black jumpsuit. It seemed to be made of special materials and had an invisibility effect. However, it was currently partially destroyed and could not fully take effect.
.
After several dodges, the black figure once again got behind a huge rock pillar, temporarily dodging bullets.
"Bang!" Then Qiao Long also jumped down from the pit and stepped closer to the figure hiding behind the rock pillar.
However, just as everyone was nervously observing the situation and confrontation, a flute sound came from behind the rock pillar, which made people dizzy, and some low-level members even started to feel dizzy.
"It's not good." Luther covered his head and stood unsteadily, hitting his head repeatedly, trying to wake himself up.
Apart from him, only Qiao Long and Yang Da were still conscious. The others fell to the ground and twisted and screamed. They seemed to be in extreme pain, as if someone was cutting their own heads with a saw.
This spiritual attack not only disturbed everyone present, but also attracted flesh-and-blood monsters from a distance, who began to attack and attack again.
In order to protect his teammates, Yang De had to turn his gun around and go back to shoot the approaching monsters, while Qiao Long speeded up and approached behind the rock pillar.
Amidst the sounds of shooting and roaring, he rushed into the side of the rock pillar, and then a bottle of milky white liquid hit him head on.
The glass shattered, and a strange milky fragrance overflowed. The liquid interfered with Qiaolong's sight, causing him to miss the opponent for a moment, and he missed again. The milk-like liquid on his face also gave off strange feelings, as if there were countless
A mosquito buzzed in front of my eyes.
This is not a simple potion, but a concentrated magic potion with extraordinary effects that can make people insane.
The potion that was originally diluted and could be filled into dozens of bottles was now sprinkled on Qiao Long, causing him to fall into a trance, staggering like a drunk, with various voices ringing in his head, and his vision becoming confusing and colorful.
He seemed to see many familiar people, including his master, his classmates in elementary school, teachers, people he had known before, and some people he hated deeply. These people had bullied him and made his life worse than death...
With a pop, Qiao Long finally knelt on the ground, bursts of heat began to emit from his body, and his bones and muscles slowly expanded, and dragon scales faintly appeared.
"Okay, very good, that's it, you can be used by me too." The black figure laughed evilly, and then played the disturbing flute sound again, making the scene even more chaotic.
