Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 340 Sin under Neon
  [Eva] The origin of the virus is no longer known. Biologists can't even get any clues about the virus from those monsters, as if they were naturally mutated. In fact, compared to a virus, people are more willing to believe that this is a plague, a plague from the soul.

Thanks to the relatively advanced technology in Eden before the disaster, large cities like Sitax City were established very quickly, which also allowed the surviving people to continue living.

However, due to the fear of terrifying monsters and the invisible [Eva] virus, the wasteland has become an absolutely taboo zone. Every city is like an isolated island in the sea, with no communication forever, and occasionally trying to rely on aircraft to communicate. In the city, you must be extremely careful, because the sky is also densely populated with monsters that have evolved wings. Their attacks on aircraft are extremely fatal. Unless there are highly skilled pilots, the hope of survival is very slim.

It was also because of this that Yoda was so unbelievable that the man in front of him claimed that he had crossed the wasteland from another city and came to Sitax City.

Faced with the doubt, the man smiled bitterly. He didn't know what he was thinking of, but there was an unspeakable guilt in his eyes: "I just made a choice that most people would make."

"Looking at your clothes, you must have been a child living in the lower city." The man glanced at Yoda and guessed, "I think you know how hard life in the lower city is, but what you don't know is that... Compared to Pompeii, this place is like paradise on earth.”

Since the beginning of the new era, every city has become an island, and those in power in the city have become well-deserved kings. Class divisions are extremely rapid and stubborn. This is the case in the upper and lower districts of Sitax.

The citizens in the upper city live a life of living in high-end flats and eating steak and red wine every day, while the citizens in the lower class are struggling to make ends meet. Even the restaurants in the lower city only sell one kind of food, which is the black glutinous rice that those people eat. Something like cockroach porridge.

It is a product made by the factory by mixing cockroaches and staple food together, and adding some seasonings. It is also a rare way for citizens in Xiacheng District to eat protein. However, you still need to go to a restaurant to experience it. tasty.

The area of ​​a city is fixed, and therefore, the production of food is also fixed. In the era of isolated islands, every city needs to produce and sell all the necessary necessities of life. This also means that they cannot produce everything on a large scale. After all, resources and land are limited.

And meat is the most precious thing.

In addition to eating, the residents of Lower City also compete with each other for various lowly jobs to earn those hard-earned points, because the free points given to them by Sitax Industry every month can only barely survive starvation. Food, in addition to that, we must try our best to fight for it. Cleaning up dirty sewers, human experiments by drug companies, and even being driven outside the city walls for dangerous land reclamation operations!
  Can such a miserable life be incomparable to Pompeii?
  "Pompei is a real city of sin." The man's expression became frightened due to his thoughts, as if that memory was still stimulating his nerves, "In Pompeii, there are only aliens and their servants, except for Everyone else is a pariah."

"As untouchables, we can't even have enough food and clothing, and there is no job for us to do. Pompeii's robot technology is extremely advanced, and everything does not require manual operation, except for the servants necessary for the extravagant and luxurious life of foreigners."

"Everyone is imprisoned in the slums like slaves, guarded by robots to prevent rebellion. Under the eyes of the aliens, we must lose all dignity to please them, and even participate in mutual killing games to please them, in order to gain a little food. of food.”

"You think you are doing the lowest job?" The man sneered and said with deep coldness in his eyes: "Try to starve to death without even a chance to work."

Yoda shuddered. He was frightened by the scene described in the man's words. Even survival could not be guaranteed. So how desperate should they be?
  Imrik touched his chin and asked: "Then how did you come to Sitax?" Hearing this, the man lowered his head cowardly, and said with guilt in his eyes: "One day, the man who guards our precinct The robot malfunctioned, and I took advantage of that gap to escape from Pompeii. Because Pompeii has extremely powerful robot technology, it has already wiped out all the mutants around it, and there is no [Energy Shield] like Sitax. Isolating the inside and outside gave me a chance to escape.”

"After escaping, I went all the way south. Perhaps because Pompeii's robot army was too powerful, I walked for two days and two nights without encountering a single mutant. God knows I was at my wits' end at that time, and I was even ready to be stabbed by a mutant. Preparation for heart penetration.”

"At that time," the man's lips trembled, "I met a group of people. They called themselves [Iris]. They were a group of abandoned people wandering in the wasteland. They were the ones who saved me."

"All the people in [Iris] are people who have been oppressed by large urban complexes. Most of them, like me, couldn't stand life in the city and fled to the wilderness and were discovered by wandering members. "

Yoda couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "What are you talking about? A group of people living in the wasteland? Where are the mutants? Even if they are lucky enough to find a habitat, where is the [Eva] virus?"

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Imrik secretly, and whispered: "A few people in Iris are the real ones in power. Their origins are mysterious. It is precisely because of them that the organization can Protected from the ravages of mutants.”

"Because they have a magical power! Just like this gentleman!" The man's voice became louder and louder, and he said excitedly, "But I know that they are not aliens, because aliens will not be like them. Kindness, they are messengers sent from heaven, appearing to protect our group of human fires!"

"But you still left them behind and ran away alone at the critical moment, didn't you?" Imrik said playfully, with a trace of blue light in his eyes, and the mind detection had already seen the man's thoughts at a glance.

When the man heard this, he immediately lowered his head like a deflated ball. He grabbed his hair in pain and said, "I don't want to either! But there were so many mutants that raided that day. I have never seen so many. Monster, I'm just a useless middle-aged man, how can I help? I just made the choice that everyone would make!"

When the man was in pain, Imrik began to scan his memory. In his memory, the upper levels of the group of [Irises] did indeed have some seemingly extraordinary supernatural powers, even when thousands of mutants attacked the base. At this time, he can still block one or two.

This boss sneaked out while the mutants were attracted to the fire. Maybe he was lucky, or maybe all the mutants around him were attracted to the [Iris] base. He didn't encounter a single mutant along the way. , arrived safely at Sitax City.

　The flower language of iris is desperate love
