The eastern district of Tiancheng is completely different from the bustling or orderly central area of Tiancheng.
This place is like a scar on the city, a festering corner beneath a shiny exterior.
The low, dense, and disorderly shantytowns and illegally modified buildings are crammed together like a maze, and the air, filled with the heavy rain, is filled with a mixture of damp and rotten smells.
Sewage flowed freely in the narrow "streets," pooling into murky puddles.
The people living here look almost identical to the refugees. Tiancheng only needs these people to do certain jobs, which is why this dirty and chaotic area has been preserved.

She looked toward the alley entrance again and again, her eyes filled with a near-desperate expectation and helpless fear.
Looking at the old woman in front of them who kept coughing and looking out, the three of them immediately knew the answer.
This must be Luo Fei's mother.
