Thriller Paradise Chapter 141: Earth Wasteland (14)

The three of them walked quickly towards the village. Along the way, Feng Bujue was asking Hank about the situation in Shenyou Village, while Kuangzong Jianying listened silently.

Hanke is not a tour guide. He cannot introduce the customs of the village in an orderly manner. However, Feng Bujue is very skillful when asking questions. He cleverly guided Hanke to tell some useful information in more detail.

The residential area of ​​Shenyou Village is roughly divided into four areas. Near the outermost periphery of the exit is the first area, which belongs to the slum area. Hank's home is here. His only family is his mother who is over fifty years old. She works in the laundry room. She works ten hours a day and only takes one day off a week. The pay is pitiful.

Hank earns a little bit more from the scavenger squad, but every time he goes out, he may never come back. His father and several older brothers are scavengers, and their endings are also Died unfavorably.

The job of the Scavenger Squad is to search for useful supplies in the sinister environment of the old earth. Exploring ancient ruins is not a common task. What they do most of the day is to collect and transport the natural resources that grow outside of Shenyou Village, mainly minerals, plants, and water sources with a degree of pollution within the treatment range. .

There is an invention such as the [Anti-Gravity Catapult]. This work does not require a lot of manpower. Scavengers pack things up, "lift them", and walk back to the sandfish compartment to put them down.

It seems that this is not a lot of hard work, but in fact, the risk factor is very high. In today's old earth, even in the deserts with constant black storms, there are a few ferocious animals, and those jungles, swamps, and coastal areas are already rampant with mutant creatures. To humans, the environment and creatures are both deadly threats.

Most people living in the outlying areas are from families like Hanke. The villagers here only receive education for three years. They learn basic mathematics and literacy in the first two years, and learn some work-related knowledge in the third year. . From the age of ten, they must learn to survive by their own labor. I have been doing single and heavy manual labor all my life, or some dangerous work. But as long as they obey the rules and do their jobs dutifully, there is nothing wrong with getting enough food.

Across the first area, the second area is the farming area with the largest area and medium population.

The style of roads and houses here has changed compared to the periphery. The main crops in the field look like corn. But the leaves are not green, but corrugated golden yellow; there are some tubers that grow in the soil, and the exposed leaves are coffee-colored, and you can smell a fragrance from a long distance. Feng Bujue asked Hanke what these were. The other party's answer is "cough rice and sweet fruit", these two are the staple food on the table of the villagers. These two crops should have been created and named by the former villagers of Shenyou Village. Anyway, there was no similar thing on the earth before.

People living in the farming area live slightly better than the first area, the living environment is more comfortable, and the colors of clothing are different. Every family has a field that is responsible for farming. The crop yields are strictly monitored, and all of them have to be handed over to the village, and they cannot keep a single grain of rice. Household income is determined by the amount of food handed in.

Relatively speaking, their lives are not too risky, the ratio of labor and rest is not inhumane, and the residents of farming areas have the opportunity to receive further education. If there are more than two children at home, they can Choose a child who is more talented in learning to continue studying and receive "higher education". If they complete their studies, they have the opportunity to enter the third area.

The third area belongs to technical personnel, and the number of these people is very small. The population of this area basically remains at about 300. Some of the top ones among them are the promoters of "open" technology in Shenyou Village. Inferior ones can also serve as engineers or managers, and those who are old or unable to work are responsible for teaching students.

The residents in this area are mainly mental workers, with considerable income and a stable life. The space that one person lives in is equal to the area of ​​a family in the peripheral area, and the color of their clothing is white. Social status is also higher

As for the fourth area, it is the place where the "sacrifices" or nobles live. Their residences can be described as luxurious for the peripheral villagers, but in Shenyou Village, even if they are worshiping families, they must dress uniformly, which is not discussed. The only people in the village who can wear clothes with their own temperament are those with the surname Coben. Everyone knows their appearance. Their portraits can be seen everywhere. Children have to learn the heroic deeds of the members of the Coben family from an early age and learn a few songs of praise. Songs come to praise them.

The priests basically don't have to do anything, and their lives are already very generous. The food on their tables is often the food that the scavengers use in exchange for their lives, which ordinary villagers cannot enjoy in their entire lives; the tap water they use is a source of drinking water, while the water used by the villagers outside the village The contaminated water brought back is "filtered".

The duty of the priests is to maintain the "sons of god" and the rule of the Kouben family. Their children, whether talented or not, can and are obliged to receive the most complete education and learn as much knowledge as possible. Some of the smarter ones can share some secrets that the Kouben family only knows.

The heads and management of all departments in Shenyou Village are all held by priests or their families. This has been the case for generations. In some departments, even if a guy doesn't know anything about professional knowledge, he can still sit in the top position, anyway, find someone from the third area to be his deputy. Moreover, the deputy who served as the deputy had to ask the layman's chief for instructions before proceeding. If he made his own claim, the crime would be very serious.

Across these four areas~IndoMTL.com~ is the deepest part of the village, the temple.

There are patrol officers on the streets of the first three areas. Although there are fewer residents in the third area, the patrol is stronger. When the fourth area is reached, ordinary villagers are not allowed to enter, except for those wearing sacrificial clothes and those holding passes, the procedures for entering in other people are very troublesome.

Outside the fourth area and the temple, patrolmen are no longer in charge. There are special guards there, all of whom have undergone rigorous screening. Guys like Hank who came from the outer area must not be selected, at least those who came from the second and third areas are eligible to join the ranks of the guards... to protect the sacred mission of sacrificial rites and the sons of gods, How can you be careless and cautious?

"The third area is in front." When he came to the junction of the second area and the third area, Hank said: "It's okay to get here, there are many patrolmen in the third area, in case you are asked Out..."

"Keep walking." Feng Bujue said categorically. They had been questioned by several groups of patrols along the way, and Feng Bujue also fooled him with the same reason, but Hanke was always worried. Look like.

"Hey! Hank, is that you?" Suddenly, a woman's voice came, calling Hank.
