The top and bottom of the tower are severely separated. Just how severe?
Even breathing the air and touching the soil at the bottom of the earth felt dirty to them.
The three members of the Tower Committee that Yang Cheng had met before all wore protective shields, but the main purpose was to defend against external attacks, such as radiation and poison gas.
However, the fat man in front of him increased the protective shield by more than three times, and even his feet were covered by the protective shield, making him look as if he were in a big bubble, which was very ridiculous.
"This guy is also a member of the Tower Committee?"
Yang Cheng, a member of the High Tower Council, had seen the appointment ceremony; it was not a grand affair, and there was not even a personal protection for the arbitrator.
This person was protected by three judges, which clearly indicated that he was of very high status.
Tang Huang sneered, "He's not a member of the Tower Council. The Tower Council is actually quite easy to distinguish."
The councilors wore suits with the Tower emblem on their chests, while the committee members wore the Flame emblem, signifying that they were humanity's last flame. Furthermore, the Tower committee members had protective gear and were closely guarded by adjudicators.
Yang Cheng looked at the fat man and said, "This guy also has protective equipment and a personal protector from the Arbitrator, but he doesn't have any badges on his clothes, so he's not considered a member of the Tower Committee?"
"No, this guy is a 'celestial being'."
The Celestials are descendants of the group who originally built the tower, proposed the plan, and were the main implementers. They are the most distinguished people in the entire tower.
They believe themselves to be the purest human bloodline in this apocalypse, the last spark of humanity, and are incomparably noble. Therefore, the Celestials have always only intermarried within their own community.
Most of the council members in the Tower Council are managers of large companies on the fourth level, who control the Tower's wealth.
However, the members of the Tower Committee are all nobles from the fifth level, and half of them are of celestial status.
So even though this guy isn't a committee member, there's definitely a high-ranking committee member in his family.
Duanmu Ci said coldly from the side, "These guys are all parasites!"
They provide no strength to the tower, not even as much as the workers on the first floor.
However, the resources they consume each year are staggering; a single Celestial Being can consume the entire annual military budget of an Explorer Legion!
At that moment, the people on the street were patrolling the first floor under the leadership of a captain from the security corps.
The captain's attitude was extremely humble; he probably hadn't even been so polite to his own father.
These people have never left the tower in their entire lives. For them, going on a tour is probably just about going to the lower levels of the tower to see the scenery they've never seen before.
After witnessing the filthy and chaotic conditions at the bottom of society and the disgusting lowlifes, they might even feel that their dull and boring lives weren't so bad after all.
Just then, a little girl fell down because of a street constable's rough shoving. She rolled twice and accidentally rolled right in front of the fat celestial being.
Yang Cheng frowned slightly.
He recognized the little girl; she was Xiaoduo, the girl who sold vegetable pancakes on Black Soil Street.
Fatty Tianren looked at Xiao Duo's body touching his protective shield and showed a disgusted expression.
"Get rid of it."
Fatty Tianren turned to look at the captain of the security corps and coldly uttered those three words.
"Yes, sir Harvey!"
The captain of the security corps broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Take care of this lowly commoner!"
Although he didn't know what Lord Harvey meant by "getting rid of it," it was clear that as long as he dealt with it thoroughly, there wouldn't be any problems.
Otherwise, with just one word from the other party, I would not only lose my position as captain, but I would also lose my life!
Two soldiers from the security corps walked toward Xiaoduo with cold expressions. Just then, a figure suddenly leaped out, grabbed Xiaoduo in his arms, and stepped back.
"She just accidentally fell in front of you and you want to dispose of her? What do you take human life for? Stones and plants?"
"If a rock is blocking the way, just move it. But if a person is blocking the way, you have to get rid of them?! Have you no humanity?!"
The person who suddenly stepped forward was none other than Chen Wu, who had recently been brought into the Explorers Corps by Yang Cheng.
Chen Wu was previously the captain of the Suiren Refuge. He was reliable and steady in his work, and most importantly, he had extremely high loyalty. Within the refuge, he only respected two people.
One is Professor Sun, and the other is Ren Tianxing.
But after witnessing Yang Cheng's strength, and with Yang Cheng giving him a third-tier potion called Ladon, his strength increased dramatically, so he was truly convinced of Yang Cheng's abilities.
During this period, Chen Wu was responsible for carrying out Yang Cheng's plans on the first floor, such as obtaining intelligence from Yin Lin and collecting Tower Coins from Hong Ji to hand over to Lao Zhao.
It can be said that Yang Cheng entrusted almost all of his arrangements to Chen Wu.
His father was inside the shelter, and the shelter's fate was intertwined with Yang Cheng's; Chen Wu's loyalty was the least of his concerns.
Chen Wu was carrying the high tower coins he had collected from Hong Ji to hand over to Lao Zhao, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on the way.
For Chen Wu, who was born in the shelter and was always educated by Ren Tianxing, he was very uncomfortable with the hierarchical system of the tower when he first arrived, but he did not reveal anything.
It wasn't until he saw that Harvey was about to be disposed of simply because Little Do touched his protective shield that he couldn't help but step in to save her.
Moreover, he didn't know the fat celestial being's identity. He thought the other party was just a powerful figure from the first level, but he didn't expect the other party to be from the top level.
