Chapter 797
The eye-catching red words on Platform 444 made Borsalino a little dazed. He didn't quite understand why he chose to get off here.
The platform style here is different from the scene Gwen described on paper. It is not so dilapidated. It is a relatively normal station.
Barry jumped off the platform before the two of them. After walking on the track, he raised his hand and pointed to a tunnel entrance, "Go a little further ahead, and you will see the tunnel we are looking for. It is on this line."
Looking at the dark tunnel entrance in the direction of his finger, the platform lights could not illuminate there. The darkness seemed to swallow all three people, but they still had to walk on the rails and take the risk to go there.
Barry walked in front with a flashlight to lead the way, Gwen walked in the middle to follow the footsteps of the male fan, and Borsalino walked behind the last defense.
The three-person team walked in the dark tunnel for a long time, but still had not reached the scheduled location. "The iron car running underground just passed by. Doesn't the driver have time to rest?"
The subway is operated by some kind of power resource. There are drivers specially recruited by the empire. After multiple trainings, they are responsible for driving. At first, the subway has rest time, and the carriages will stop in place to facilitate inspection and maintenance.
Human drivers will wear out sometimes, not to mention that these metals are running every day. If they are not checked frequently, the metal parts on the car will wear to a certain extent, and it is very likely that a major traffic accident will occur. There are cases in the history of the empire.
"It's not that they don't want to stop and rest, but they dare not stop and rest. Once they stop somewhere and don't move, it will become a gathering place for homeless people." Gwen has seen these cases in newspapers and books. She is idle anyway, so the school beauty popularizes the common sense of the empire for the wretched uncle.
The central city of the empire is located on the red soil continent. After the efforts of the first generation of scientists, they have broken through the two scientific processes of soilless cultivation and seawater desalination to solve the problem of eating and drinking on the red soil continent.
With the gradual expansion of the empire, one brilliant city after another began to be built on the red soil continent. In addition to the communication between these cities on the ground, tunnels were also dug underground to complete the connection.
After hundreds of years of rule by the Empire, the underground world has become more and more abundant. Bankrupts, criminals, and homeless people have become frequent visitors to underground tunnels. They cannot afford buildings on the ground, so they settle down in tunnels. Some generations have even lived in the underground world and lost the qualifications to live with the ratmen.
Barry spoke up and added: "Due to the defects in design and construction at the time, many underground tunnels were abandoned after only half of the construction, and some platforms were even abandoned. Of course, other people will fill the places abandoned by the Empire."
Many of the original homeless people settled down in these abandoned underground tunnels. The worst thing is that these abandoned tunnels are connected to the generally usable tunnels.
Just like the trio today, they can find abandoned tunnels and abandoned platforms after walking a distance. The gathering of homeless people gradually breeds gangs and begins to try to control a certain section of the subway. For this reason, bloody conflicts often occur in the underground world.
In order to compete for territory and population, the gangs annexed and strangled each other. Every exchange of fire would cause hundreds of casualties. The most tragic one was that the gang hostile to the Joker Gang was slaughtered overnight, and thousands of gang members were killed, shaking the Empire entity on the ground.
But the expected wrath of thunder did not fall. The Joker Gang was still alive and kicking in this underground world, making black money by selling small red pills. The money laundering business on the ground was also very prosperous, providing stable tax revenue for the Empire.
Some of the homeless people who were old, weak, sick and disabled had no obligation to be taken care of by the gangs. Their original homes were occupied, and they could only choose to sleep in the subway cars.
The subway, which was always running, would take the homeless to a new place, to the control area of another gang. It was likely that these poor ghosts would be driven off the train, not allowing them to occupy the position and let the poor ghosts' breath pollute the subway.
This group of homeless people could receive enough food for food and clothing from the Empire's relief point once a day. The Empire barely prevented these useless people from starving to death, which was the last bit of warmth the Empire gave them.
Listening to the two young men talking about the dark side of the empire, their voices even rose when they were excited, and their emotions were very high. It turned out that they also had a cynical side.
"The empire has existed for hundreds of years, and there are some rules and codes that have not changed since its establishment, which has led to the empire's management becoming more and more rigid and no longer seeing the suffering of the lower-class people." Barry couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned suffering. He is both an empireThe victim of the country's laws is the beneficiary of the Empire's laws.
The Empire allowed Barry to study in college, and at the same time imprisoned his murderer father for life. The Empire's rule has both good and bad sides, and it can only make the people under its rule recognize its existence.
Borsalino is not as sentimental as the two young people. He believes that the current Empire, although it has various drawbacks, has an internal and operational logic that allows ordinary people to survive even if they lose their dignity. Only by living can they have a future.
In the era of pirates, the order provided by the Celestial Dragons and the World Government is an absolute parasitic system that only exploits other people on the blood-sucking sea. It is impossible to win over others by taking out a little bit of profit. It is more uncomfortable to eat less than killing the Celestial Dragons.
The admiral of the navy was not the admiral of the navy from the beginning. Borsalino was young and vulnerable. In a period of time when he had no power and no ability to protect himself, he personally experienced the massacre of a small town by the pirate group.
They are a group of lunatics who kill without blinking an eye. Wherever they go, they are like locusts passing through. They will not let go of any living creatures that can be eaten and consumed. As predators, they often kill the chicken to get the eggs, which forces some producers to go to sea and become pirates.
"It is better to have an order than to have no order. In my opinion, gangs are friendlier than pirates. They only seek money and don't easily kill people."
Gwen couldn't help rolling her eyes at the words of the wretched uncle. The other party was discussing the issue of pirates. Pirates have disappeared for many years. Now gangs are the stubborn disease of the empire.
If all the gangs in the underground world are wiped out, perhaps there will be less evil in this world and more truth, goodness and beauty worth pursuing.
Gwen now dare not imagine how her best friend will be tortured by the gang after being kidnapped into the Joker Gang. Even if she can be rescued this time, at least everyone will lose half their lives.
Spider-Woman finally stood near the entrance of the tunnel that the spider sense had drawn. The surging underground world is about to unfold to the three of them.
