The huge hall was full of people, and it was dense and compact, even walking was a problem. Those who came late like Zhao Zhuo had no qualifications to sit in the corner against the wall, barely standing and sleeping like someone else. They had such an experience like him, and there were many more in the entire hall.

Such halls are very common in the underground world of the mud area. Or to put it simply, the underground world of the mud area is entirely composed of such cave halls. And the poor people living in the mud area are nicknamed "cavemen" by people in the outside world.

Yes, the largest slum in the federal area, which is claimed to cover an area of ​​13 million square kilometers, actually lives underground. What people say is that "occupies an area of ​​13 million" refers to the area of ​​the mud area. In fact, only three million people really allow people to live and survive. Moreover, all of these land areas come from under the ground. They were excavated by people with their own hands.

The earthly world of the mud zone is covered with foul-smelling, high-corrosive silt swamps of up to ten meters. Not to mention organisms, even the Federally claimed to be the most durable submarine, cannot travel safely. In such an environment, humans cannot survive. The name of the mud zone comes from this.

Use three million real living areas to support more than 1.2 billion people. From this we can see how crowded people live.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an inch of land and life.

The clock on the wall of the hall went to the eleventh place little by little. Zhao Zhuo, who was leaning against the wall, was vaguely trying to sleep, was shocked, pulled out his hand that was huddled in his sleeve, and stood up straight.

Not only him, nearly one-third of the people who were drinking, playing cards, chatting and laughing in a low voice or sleeping soundly, also stood up from the ground, and the expression on their faces became indescribably serious in an instant.

Among these people, there are men and women, old and young, healthy and weak. However, the helpless, excited or firm determination revealed in their eyes is just the same.

These people will be my opponent!

Scanning the people in the hall, Zhao Zhuo habitually scratched his cheeks, and then he began to walk along the wall to the huge clock not far away. The corner of the wall was filled with sleeping people, and he ignored them and stepped directly on the other party's body and face, and then stepped over. The person who was trampled, either had been used to it or had no objection at all. Those who slept still slept and did not sleep, just looked at Zhao Zhuo lightly, and even had no interest in patting the feces that were stained with.

Everyone who lives here is almost always trampled like this dozens or hundreds of times every night. As long as you get used to it, you don’t care.

Just think it's just to say hello to each other.

Under the wall with the clock hanging, there is a tightly closed door.

Zhao Zhuo and those who had the same purpose as him came to the front door one after another.

The hour hand moved and soon pointed at the twelve o'clock position.

It's exactly twelve o'clock in the middle of the night!

The door in front of him opened with a sound.

Two equally dirty and sloppy poor people walked out of the open door, looked at Zhao Zhuo and others standing in front of them, and exhaled a foul air with a foul smell: "Everyone knows the rules, are there any new ones?"

No one answered.

"Okay, come with us. Be quieter and don't quarrel at people to sleep."

As the two of them turned around, everyone entered one after another and walked into the world behind the gate. The gate behind them was closed after everyone came in.

This is a channel with a width of only three meters, and two people can walk side by side. On both sides of the channel are rectangular spaces of one meter long, fifty centimeters wide, and two meters deep. At first glance, it looks like enlarged capsules.

Capsule Apartment. This kind of thing that is despised or even ridiculed by the outside world is a very luxurious existence in the muddy area. Outsiders cannot imagine how happy and luxurious it is to have such a place that only belongs to you, and can sleep peacefully without worrying about being stepped on by others’ faces, chests, and life.

The entire mud area has only 50 million capsule apartments. It is conceivable that when these capsule apartments first appeared, the impact on the entire mud area was so huge. At that time, some people protested that instead of wasting precious living resources like this, it would be better to distribute them evenly to everyone so that people could get fixed living resources. And more people were ecstatic and wanted to live in such a "spacious big house" immediately.

Then, in order to compete for the residence rights of these capsule apartments, the most comprehensive, most tragic and longest chaos broke out in the entire mud area since its establishment. The number of people who died in the chaos alone reached 100 million.

And this melee also directly led to the birth of the "capsule gambling game".

"Use your life to exchange for the opportunity to live here for a month!"

This is the slogan of "capsule gambling". It is also the purpose of Zhao Zhuo and others participating in the gambling game.

I don’t know how many people sacrificed their lives without hesitation just to be able to sleep peacefully in this space of less than two square meters.

Countless people died one after another on the road leading to the two-square-meter bed.

Thinking of this, looking at the empty capsules at this time, Zhao Zhuo subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth, then quickly "snatched" and frowned.

He licked the horse feces stained on his mouth again.

In the long corridor, there was no sound except for the sound of people kicking and stomping and the coughing sounds from time to time. People were terrible.

But it seemed that I could not stand such an indescribable depressing atmosphere, and the two poor leaders who were walking in the front spoke in time:
Chapter completed!
