Chapter 455: The Law of the Jungle
Ye Xiaoman chased Jing Zhui and walked into the Demon Cave dormitory.
Space magic was used inside, and the area is much larger than it looks from the outside.
The first floor has the largest number of people, with about a thousand people crowded here at the same time, including newcomers who have just reported in and weak people who have been screened out through layers of assessments inside the magic cave.
These people are only qualified to sleep in the big bunk bed.
Each person's private space is only as narrow as that of a bed, and the beds are squeezed tightly together. People who are taller can only curl up when sleeping, and there is no space to stretch their arms and legs.
Ye Xiaoman seemed to see the factory dormitory she had lived in during the apocalypse. When she worked in the factory, her dormitory area was divided into two large areas according to gender. Here, men and women were mixed together without distinction.
Ye Xiaoman was impressed by this scene and understood why the demons could always remain so powerful.
Those who can appear here are basically the famous nobles and potential geniuses of the demon world. They do not have a trace of arrogance and debauchery of the upper class. They abandon the pampered life of the children of aristocratic families, throw away their surnames and are named with a string of numbers, and are willing to be cruelly tortured.
Fortunately, with so many people crowded together, there was no strange smell in the air.
The air flow is unobstructed, a spirit gathering array is arranged on the ground, and soul-nourishing stones are embedded in the walls. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is continuously extracted to nourish the muscles, bones and spiritual veins of every demon. It is an excellent place for cultivation.
A passage was cleared between the squares of bedding.
People walking in from outside can go directly through this passage and walk to the innermost part, where there is a circular staircase leading directly to the second floor.
Each floor is constructed in this way, with a staircase leading directly to the next floor. There is no teleportation array.
Every day, the strong ones would walk through such passages, looking down at the weak ones huddled together like ants on both sides, and walk towards their dormitory floors with their heads held high.
This design has a very clever psychological effect, and the strong class setting is an obvious hint.
During this process, the strong will secretly warn themselves that if they become weak, they will fall and become one of the ants.
Ye Xiaoman mixed in with the demons returning to the dormitory and walked in the corridor. She wanted to climb to the top floor to look for Jing Zhui.
The sky darkened, and the demons who had been watching the duel in the arena outside returned to their nests. Stimulated by blood and death, everyone's expression was excited, and their adrenaline continued to soar.
Therefore, the weak people in the first-floor dormitory area have to pay for this sequelae.
Young boys and girls entering puberty chattered, their tempers flaring at the slightest provocation. The demons encouraged absolute evil, so everyone let their tempers run wild.
Some weak people were unable to dodge in time and bumped into the strong ones, and were inevitably beaten and kicked.
"You don't have eyes, do you? I think your eyes are just for show. Why don't you dig them out?"
Some people did nothing wrong, but were singled out and humiliated simply because they were disliked.
"Sooner or later, I will beat your cheap bones in the ring and forge a sword."
There are even worse things.
Some older demons already understand human ways.
Powerful nuns and nuns stood by, weapons in hand, scanning the people present with meaningful eyes, as if selecting vegetables in the market, critically scanning the good-looking faces, and smilingly selecting companions for tonight's entertainment.
"You, you, you, and you, stand up and follow me."
The person whose name was called didn't dare to object and obediently picked up his bed and followed him upstairs.
Some of those who were chosen accepted it submissively without any expression, while most of them even looked happy to be able to accompany the strong.
This is a disaster for all the beautiful women who are weak and have ordinary family power but happen to be good-looking. Even some people with good family backgrounds will still be coveted - those who are too weak will not be able to survive and take revenge.
Ye Xiaoman looked at the groups of beautiful women, both men and women, who were lined up and taken away by strong men with their heads down, and she let out a long sigh.
Being weak is a situation, regardless of race or gender.
In an environment with a single value judgment system and high overall mental pressure, various types of violent incidents can easily occur.
Because people don't know when they will die, the idea of enjoying life while it lasts becomes prevalent. The strong become increasingly eager to grab whatever entertainment they can find, leading to the collapse of social order and the decline of music, and the weak begin to suffer.
Especially in an environment where jungle culture is highly respected, if you are strong you are right, if he is weak he deserves to die, and you can conquer the world with your fists as big as casserole pots. As for humanistic care for the young and weak, there is no such thing.
Even when the weak are treated unfairly, they will not realize the need to retaliate against the strong, but will only hate themselves for not being strong enough.
But neither the perpetrator nor the victim thinks there is anything wrong with this.
When these demons' three views were just being formed, the environment repeatedly reinforced their ideas that as long as they were strong, they could do whatever they wanted, and power and beauty would be easily obtained. So after they left here, they would pursue power by any means for the rest of their lives.
Ye Xiaoman used to think that Jing Zhui, as a villain, wanted to destroy the world for no reason and pursued great power endlessly. His behavior was very twisted. However, after seeing the environment in which Jing Zhui grew up, she felt that it was reasonable for him to grow up like that.
At least as a strong man, he is considered to have noble character among the demons. He only pursues strength. He is too lazy to bully those who are too weak, and he never forces others to be timid.
Surprisingly, he is untainted by the mud.
Ye Xiaoman shook her head and sighed, climbing the stairs to the second floor in the underworld environment.
When she was halfway up, a big knife was placed in front of her.
"Beauty, new here?"
A demon blocked Ye Xiaoman's path with a smug look. Though young, he already looked quite sleazy. Seeing her innocent and soft appearance, he assumed she was a weakling who could be bullied, intending to use her as a pretext to whet his appetite.
Ye Xiaoman looked up and saw an ugly face, and almost vomited.
She swung the obstacle directly against the wall. The ugly man's fat body smashed the wall to create a crack in the spider web. Ye Xiaoman imitated Jing Zhui's cold expression and said, "Get lost."
The surrounding hustle and bustle was suddenly quiet. The demons who had originally planned to stretch out their evil hands towards Ye Xiaoman retracted their hands after weighing her strength.
The ugly man quickly got up, hated but not dared to say anything, and ran away, not even daring to fart.
Ye Xiaoman looked at the demon girl that was looted by the ugly man and waved her hand with mixed feelings, "You guys go."
After she showed her strength, her career of climbing the ladder went extremely smoothly and no one dared to cause trouble for her again.
The higher the floor is, the fewer people can live in the same space.
When she climbed to the nineteenth floor, the highest floor where Jing Zhui lived, she found that the view here was wide and the environment was quiet. People downstairs did not dare to make loud noises, making it very suitable for living.
