At dusk, Lu Fuji walked out of the temple with a pile of documents in his arms. The towering metal barrier cast a shadow, and the dusty ground was filled with light and dark.
"Brother Lu, why don't you discuss it with them? If it doesn't work, just change your profession. As long as you're not on the battlefield, there's no need to force yourself to evolve. After I earn enough merit, I'll exchange it for you for a bottle of sacred tree marrow." Is that enough? That thing can repair cells, maybe..."
He Sai also held a pile of documents and whispered in his ear.
Lu Buer shook his head and responded: "It makes no sense. The old priest said that the so-called sacred tree marrow can only be used to repair excessively consumed cells, so it cannot cure my disease."
As for changing careers, that's definitely not possible.
Those low-level species asked to change their professions, but they were all dragged away.
Previously, a rich second-generation student from Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School tried to escape, but was caught on the spot and sentenced to exile within a minute.
Penalties are imposed on the spot and executed on the spot.
The rich second generation was immediately expelled from the city gate.
Given the harsh environment of the Pure Land, he would probably not survive more than three days outside the wall.
The guy was still crying for help before he was banished.
But his former compatriots now avoid him like a stranger.
How miserable.
He Sai stopped talking, lowered his head and kicked the gravel on the ground with his feet, and whispered: "Brother Lu, I know that my parents are no longer in this world, but actually I don't feel very sad. Because my The memory seems to still stay five hundred years ago, as if we were separated for only one day. But when I think about never seeing them again, I will be very sad and devastated."
"And if you were gone, I would be alone in this world."
He paused: "It sounds selfish, I hope you can survive..."
Lu Buer smiled silently: "Don't think about those things. At least I'm still alive now, right? People should learn to enjoy the present. At least today we are the masters."
Five hundred years ago, the two of them were ordinary students.
Now in the Pure Land, he has become a noble and high-energy species.
For example, the pile of documents they hold in their arms are the rights they can enjoy in the Pure Land.
The church also presented a code of law to educate them on the law.
The more outrageous thing is that as high-energy species, they have the right to form a family, along with the right to mate and reproduce, which sounds quite forbidden.
What's even more outrageous is that the Supreme Federation also helps them allocate family members, and cannot refuse.
Because rights are also obligations.
"What a strange law. I don't want many strange parents to suddenly come out."
He Sai complained: "What kind of good treatment is this?"
"It's a normal thing. The original good treatment is to enable you to better fulfill your obligations. The reason for assigning family members is because they think you have enough ability to let you drag those with weaker abilities to live. It is a kind of force. Bundling. If I guess correctly, the family members assigned to you will also be carefully selected to maximize benefits and distribute resources more harmoniously."
"So I don't have a choice? There's no freedom at all in this damn place."
"No matter where you are, freedom is a luxury when you have no power. Furthermore, haven't you read that code? If we cannot prove our worth and fulfill our corresponding obligations, we will be deprived of what we have. Everything, redefined.”
"What do you mean by that?"
"It means that you may not get new parents, but you may also get a wife, or even someone else's wife. Isn't it exciting?"
"Fuck!"
They will meet their new family members in as little as seven days or as little as three days.
I just wish I could be a normal person.
Of course, their worries are also other people's extravagant hopes.
"Let's say goodbye here. Take care of yourself in the future and be careful in your behavior. The world has really changed." Officer An and Boss Zhang waved goodbye to them. As middle-aged people, they would not be dragged away. , which still gave me some dignity.
As for the low-energy species, in order to prevent them from escaping, they were all escorted away.
Officer An was assigned to the law enforcement team, responsible for maintaining those robots. It took a period of assessment before he could gain the right to sense the sacred rhythm.
Boss Zhang was assigned to work as a handyman in a chamber of commerce owned by a certain consortium. Ever since he saw his daughter, his whole person had changed, and he was obviously stimulated.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Boss Zhang noticed the worries of the teenagers, raised his head and forced a smile: "I will work hard and try to prove my worth. I will definitely get my daughter back when the time comes."
"Come on, Boss Zhang."
Jose cheered him up and said, "We will help you when the time comes."
Lu Fuji also nodded slightly: "Wait until we have a solution."
"Just live your life and don't worry about us."
Officer An and Boss Zhang waved goodbye to them and turned to leave.
In fact, relying on the friendship they had formed in the land of the past, they could definitely ask for help. After all, high-energy species are indeed uncommon and they are high-quality connections.
But they didn't.
They seem to still hold on to the values they had five hundred years ago.
Children are children.
Even if you become a high-energy species, you are still a child.
Adults, of course, can't cause trouble for children.
"I always feel empty inside."
He Sai said suddenly.
"Life is like this, everyone has to run for survival."
Lu Fuji said softly.
If we say goodbye this time, we may never see each other again.
He may not survive until then.
The priests walked up to them and said with a smile: "You two, we are responsible for taking you to the West City and collect the land and supplies that are exclusive to your residence."
These pastors still have a very good attitude towards them.
Because they are both privileged and dedicated.
The safety of Shengen City still needs high-energy species like them to protect it.
Lu Fuji was silent for a moment, looking towards the west of the city.
The road ahead is uncertain.
Can he really survive in this pure land?

Shengen City is divided into four rings. The core ring contains the glorious temple of the Akasha Holy Cult, which is also where the city lord's palace is located. At the same time, a large number of outstanding talents, as well as major financial groups and chambers of commerce are gathered. It is the city with the best economy. The most popular and prosperous area.
As for the Second Ring Road, it is home to many federal agencies.
For example, there are the Tribunal and the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Resource Allocation Bureau, the Production Structure Department, etc. There are also a large number of urban residential areas and some business circles.
Most of the people gathered here are people with relatively decent jobs.
The farming and breeding areas are also here.
The Third Ring Road is where the lower class gather. It is a mixed bag and the most difficult to manage. There are a large number of slums and gray industrial chains, such as street bars and underground casinos. In addition, there are dojos for black boxing and private employment. corps.
As for the fourth ring road, it is the most dangerous place.
There are frequent attacks there, and even more so when the metal barriers collapse, killing people.
It can only be described as a meat grinder.
Aoki went all the way from the Fourth Ring Road to the Second Ring Road, as if he had traveled through three completely different worlds. Of course, he would not have any emotions after being out of the cocoon for eight years, because he had already been used to it.
The streets are busy with traffic, and wealthy people in the Second Ring Road can even afford cars.
The traffic lights on the road changed, and the aroma of fried noodles wafted from the restaurant across the street.
Aoki walked through the quiet park. The young lovers on the swing were frightened to see his clothes and moved away. The school in the distance had just ended, and the students in school uniforms went back to their homes.
Everything seems like five hundred years ago.
Until Aoki arrived at a black building that looked like a steel fortress, he passed through the heavily guarded gate, walked through the dark underground tunnel, and stopped in front of an iron door.
Before knocking on the door, the person behind the door asked:
"I heard that we encountered a heretic from the Corpse Food Cult this time?"
The voice was old and powerful.
Aoki replied respectfully: "Yes, sir. We are lucky this time. They happen to be the group of pagans who escaped last time, and they all have the same characteristics."
The voice behind the door asked again: "Kill them all?"
Aoki replied again: "No one was left behind. The cocoon breakers brought back also had their memories cleared to ensure that this matter would not be leaked to the outside world."
After a brief silence, the old man said again: "The soil you brought back has been tested, and it is indeed contaminated. But have you ever thought that what they really want to pollute is the life in the place of death? tree!"
Aoki was stunned, and he realized that he might have made a mistake.
"If you want to pollute the great Tree of Life, it is definitely not a simple ritual. Those pagans may seem weak, but they have terrible taboos in their hands!"
The old man suppressed his anger and asked: "Let me ask you, where are the things? You did a good job of keeping secrets, but you lost the most important thing! You deserve death!"
Aoki's throat rolled up and down, and he was sweating profusely.
He was careless and just thought it would be good to kill those people.
I didn’t expect that those weak guys actually had forbidden items in their hands!
With a thud, a huge pressure hit his face, causing him to kneel on his knees.
"Your merits are enough to exchange for a bottle of the marrow of the sacred tree."
The old man said hoarsely: "But now, I want you to get that thing back. Immediately, immediately. Otherwise... you should know the consequences."
This time, Aoki lost his usual playfulness and joking.
Those slightly aged eyes were full of fear.

Night, west of Shengen City.
The collapsed walls were filled with howling cold wind, and outside the city was the cold mist that filled the air. The construction team was carrying equipment to evacuate, and the medical team was running through the ruins carrying stretchers carrying corpses. In the distance, there was artillery fire rising into the sky. and gunshots, and shouts and roars could be heard.
From time to time, there were old soldiers transporting wartime supplies despite the cold wind.
The wind was so strong that it was hard to open one's eyes. The most terrifying thing was the gunshots and artillery fire outside the city. Many blurry figures could be seen in the cold fog, illuminated by the firelight.
Their eyes can be vaguely seen, and they are all golden.
Gunshots, wails, roars, and roars all mixed together.
Lu Fuji just arrived at this place known as the Genius Meat Grinder. He looked around with a blank expression. The cold wind that hit his face stuck a piece of waste newspaper on his face.
He took off the scrap newspaper from his face and saw clearly the harsh environment in front of him.
Even though he was prepared, his mentality still collapsed.
"You call this the house we live in?"
He pointed at the broken wall in front of him and shouted: "Are you sure?"
He Sai also broke through the defense and shouted: "Isn't the pigsty better than this?"
There were not many buildings in the ruins that were not destroyed. The broken shed in front of them was crumbling in the cold wind. Next to it were two wooden boxes, which were said to be their supplies.
Everywhere you can see here are abandoned buildings, not even a streetlight, and there will never be any water or electricity, only the fire of guns and artillery.
"You two are high-energy species chosen by God, and of course you have the ability to overcome this harsh environment. If you are not satisfied with the house, you can choose to build it with your own hands. If you are not satisfied with the materials, you can exchange them yourself. If you are not satisfied with the environment, then start from It stands out here.”
The priests smiled and said: "Welcome to the Third City Guard!!"
