Chapter 248 The Bottom of the Food Chain
After confirming that Teacher Zhang's ashes were still there, the three teachers' eyes turned red: "It's good that they're still there!" Teacher Cao raised his head and looked at Lu Xingtang: "Tangtang, it doesn't matter whether you return to the imperial capital or not. The teachers have no obsession to return to the imperial capital. But the teachers hope that you can live well and don't worry the three of us old bones."
The imperial capital had been destroyed in the earthquake. Even if it was rebuilt, even if the government redistributed their houses, even if it was on the original site, the imperial capital would not be the one they remembered, and they could not go back to the past.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Xingtang took out a lot of rice, flour, grain, oil, seafood, pork, beef, mutton, as well as vegetables such as cabbage, beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lettuce, and fruits such as bananas, apples, pears, and oranges from the warehouse and told them to eat without worry, as they had plenty.
But they are required to train and strengthen themselves. Next, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo will go to Area C to check the situation. Area C is different from Area D. There are few Sang people in Area D, and they are all guarding the survivors and the granary, but there are definitely Sang people in Area C, and there are also many other GJ people in Area C.
As expected, District C is also very chaotic, but it is just a mess, not like the chaos in District D, which is inhumane. How can it not be chaotic when so many Chinese people live in one district?
Su Cheng and the others looked at Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo worriedly: "We know that you two are very capable and your lives will not be in danger, but we still want to remind you to be careful!"
"You should also be prepared. You might come out and help us take all the supplies in Area C."
When leaving the cruise ship, Lu Xingtang placed daily necessities such as rice, flour, grain, and oil in the restaurant kitchen and asked them to organize them, and there were also many fresh dishes.
Lu Xingtang took out a speedboat, filled it with fuel, and did not leave the space immediately. Su Cheng and the others thought they had left, but in fact they were waiting in the space for dark. During this time they were busy in the black soil, feeding the pigs.
After finishing their work, the two of them started their daily training. After training, they returned to the villa to rest until dark. They sat on the speedboat, left the space in an instant, and drove the speedboat towards Area C.
The speedboat made a loud noise, and when it was about to reach Area C, it slowed down because there was a searchlight shining on the sea. Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo didn't want to alert the enemy so quickly, so they returned to the space, put on diving suits, and swam towards the shore of Area C.
After swimming to the shore, the two immediately changed out of their diving suits and climbed ashore.
"There are people nearby!" Ji Yanmo lowered his voice and said, "There is a pair of wild mandarin ducks fighting on the road we must pass. We have to wait for a while."
"On the way?" Lu Xingtang gritted her teeth. These two really knew how to find places to play. Lu Xingtang didn't want to alert the enemy for the time being. After all, she was not familiar with Area C, so she waited. Ji Yanmo hugged her and patted her shoulder gently: "Actually, I also want to. After we collect all the supplies from Sang Country..." I won't let you go.
Lu Xingtang pinched the soft flesh on Ji Yanmo's waist fiercely, causing Ji Yanmo to gasp in pain. "Just wait!"
Three minutes later, the wild mandarin ducks finished their business and left. Ji Yanmo came out with Lu Xingtang. Lu Xingtang looked at the wild mandarin ducks with dark eyes, "Amo, let's ask them about the situation in Area C."
Ji Yanmo had no objection. Lu Xingtang took out a silenced pistol and shot the man in the thigh. The man immediately fell to the ground, hugged his thigh and howled. The woman was scared and saw the man's thigh covered in blood. She was extremely worried and was about to carry the man to find a doctor, but she was frightened by a flash of light and dared not move.
Lu Xingtang walked towards them with a flashlight. Judging from their clothes, these two people were not doing well in Area C. They looked like typical Asians, but it was unknown which group they were from.
Lu Xingtang asked them in a foreign language what country they were from, but his words reeked of kimchi. Lu Xingtang didn't speak the kimchi language, but they could understand foreign languages. Lu Xingtang pointed a gun at their heads and said, "Tell me everything about Area C, or I'll make you live a life worse than death!"
The two men didn't want to die, and were so scared that they begged for mercy. Lu Xingtang scolded them with a cold face, "Hurry up and tell me!"
The two were indeed from Kimchi Country. After the apocalypse, their country was devastated, and many people fled their home countries, seeking help from other countries. Because Kimchi Country was relatively close to Sang Country, and they had heard that Sang Country's natural disasters had stabilized and hadn't occurred for a long time, and that it might be the first country to end the apocalypse, they decided to join Sang Country.
Area C is divided into upper area, middle area and lower area.
Area C is inhabited by people from other countries, but the Sang Kingdom is very cruel. They arrange areas according to the strength of their countries. If their countries are strong, they will be assigned to upper or middle areas. If their countries are weak, they can only live in lower areas and be enslaved.
In the eyes of the Sang people, the strength of the Kimchi Kingdom was only enough to allow them to live in the inferior area, so after they came to the Sang Kingdom, they used food, supplies, gold, silver and money to buy a house and a piece of land in the Sang Kingdom, and from then on lived in the inferior area of Zone C.
There are differences between the lower, middle, and upper-class areas. The lower-class area is responsible for growing the rice needed for the entire C area and also fishing. The middle-class area only grows rice and does not need to fish. The upper-class area does not need to do anything, relying on the food grown and seafood caught in the lower and D areas to provide for them.
The superior district's government was so powerful that the Sang Nation couldn't afford to provoke it, so it could only be treated with good food and drink. The natural disasters in the Sang Nation were indeed not that severe, but the Sang Nation's land area was small, and under the ravages of natural disasters, it was no longer as strong as before. If it had provoked a more powerful government at this time, the Sang Nation would have been destroyed long ago.
This led to deep discord between the upper, middle, and lower classes, who disliked each other. The upper class, driven by their powerful government, often bullied the middle and lower classes, behaving in a barbaric manner, less humane than wild beasts. Under the Sang State's indulgence, the upper class were like local tyrants, forcing anyone who saw them to kneel and kowtow, wishing their country prosperity and strength, and long life and peace.
The people in the middle zone are not as arrogant as those in the upper zone, but when they are bullied by the upper zone, they turn around and deal with the people in the lower zone. They have no ability to retaliate against the upper zone, so they can only target the lower zone.
The lower zone is at the bottom of the food chain and has no rights at all. People can do whatever they want to them. If they don't obey, they will be immediately sent to Zone D and become slaves!
The upper and middle districts had patrol teams of ten, each armed and wearing bulletproof vests. The lower districts were not allowed to form patrol teams or maintain their own military forces, and could only grow rice and salvage seafood. All the food grown and seafood salvaged by the lower districts would be sent to the upper districts first. After the upper districts had finished selecting, the middle districts would choose, and the rest would belong to the lower districts. The lower districts would be grateful to the upper and middle districts for their kindness.
