Chapter 1172: The Desolate City

Although the incident happened suddenly last night, Cecilia and Han Li felt good overall.

After all, the opponent certainly has advantages in terms of vision and touch that other equipment does not have.

However, it also has very obvious disadvantages.

In addition, this was the first time Han Li encountered Cecilia, so the time he took to appreciate, feel, and experience her took a little longer.

The most important thing is that Han Li didn't take this foreigner, who he met by chance and would say goodbye to forever tomorrow, seriously at all.

Since you don't treat the other person as a human being, you can do whatever you want.

As a result, Cecilia couldn't go back to her room after the event and had to stay with Han Li. However, this also made up for her regret of having to spend Christmas alone.

Because Cecilia did not go home at night and could not get up in the morning, Han Li's original plan to check out and leave in the morning was ruined.

Since he couldn't leave for the time being, Han Li wasn't someone who could sit idle.

So Han Li carefully observed and experienced the differences between Cecilia during the day and at night under the natural light.

No matter how fresh the experience was, after having lunch with Cecilia, Han Li ignored her sincere request to stay and checked out without any reluctance.

However, before leaving, Han Li was invited to go to Cecilia's room and stayed there for more than an hour.

When Han Li left, Cecilia was too weak to stand up to see her off. Han Li waved his hand mercilessly and left the room. Finally, he helped her close the door, hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside, and left the hotel.

Han Li drove the RV and followed the instructions on the map to a shelter on the outskirts of Edinburgh. As it was not yet completely dark, he took a nap in the car.

At midnight, Han Li changed his clothes and walked in. This shelter was also a place similar to a small manor.

However, because today is Christmas, there are only two staff members left here.

With the help of his mental power, Han Li lit up the magic incense in all the rooms where people were staying.

However, during this process, Han Li discovered that the situation in this shelter was even worse.

They adopt an age division system here. There are no children under three years old. Children between three to ten years old live on the second floor, and children over ten years old live on the third floor.

If this is the case, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, as it can prevent older children from bullying younger children.

However, they have adopted an age division system here.

However, they put all the boys and girls on the same floor. Although they were divided into male and female dormitories, the room doors were not locked, allowing them to be in a situation where they could visit each other at any time and anywhere.

Under this management system, the orphans living here fully demonstrate the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and the fact that those who are strong and have powerful fists can do whatever they want.

So, no matter what happens in this place, it is not surprising, and these children all seem to be accustomed to these situations.

Even when there are fights or other incidents, some of them will even stand by to cheer, encourage, give advice, and instruct them on how to fight.

The stronger children had the best rooms, the best beds, the most food, and the most possessions.

As for the two staff members who stayed here on duty, it was only half past ten and they were already almost drunk.

The situation here made Han Li increase the amount of incense in all the rooms, so that they could fall asleep as quickly and as shortly as possible.

Next, Han Li continued to look for files, information, and account books, and wrote and photographed what he found as quickly as possible.

Han Li saw from the information and account books he found that the shelter in Edinburgh was doing almost the same thing as the shelter and orphanage in Renton.

No, it should be that this shelter went further in some aspects.

Han Li saw from his notebook that this shelter often sent away children who were injured in fights or rapes.

There is no chance that those children were sent there in the notebook. Were they adopted by kind people? Or what?
However, Han Li soon discovered something wrong in the account book, because every time the shelter sent away a child, there would be an additional donation from Lunnuox Castle on their books.

Han Li was not sure if there was any connection here, but he silently wrote down the name of Lunnuox Castle. If he had time and opportunity, he wanted to go and have a look. Because there was a lot of information here, after Han Li copied and took photos of the information, he skillfully manipulated the silver needle and started to work.

After Han Li finished copying the information and taking photos, he manipulated the silver needle skillfully and started to work while multitasking.

He was destroying the functions of these people's internal organs, causing them to gradually develop symptoms of emotional injury or mental disorder.

On the one hand, it helps some people to broaden their scope and improve their depth, so that when they go to meet "guests", they can greatly reduce the occurrence of injuries.

When Han Li was doing two things at once, he would occasionally knock out those who were awakened by the pain.

This kept Han Li busy until 4:30 in the morning. Only then did he clean up, put on his clothes and leave the shelter.

The sun had just risen above the horizon when Han Li drove the RV out of Edinburgh. His next stop was Glasgow, where there was the A82 road leading to the Scottish Highlands.

Although the distance between Edinburgh and Glasgow was less than a hundred kilometers, Han Li cooked himself a meal on the road and had a good sleep after the meal, so it was already evening when he arrived here.

Glasgow is an ancient city, it is a city built in the Middle Ages.

Due to its geographical reasons, Glasgow has been an industrial town for a long time.

Later it became the manufacturing center of England and Scotland, and also the source of wealth for the entire country.

In the 19th century, Glasgow was known as the greatest city in England, even suppressing its neighbor, Edinburgh, the Scottish capital. Some local people even called for a change of the Scottish capital.

However, everything here was in the process of being denationalized and privatized through a series of actions taken after the Iron Lady came to power.

Those powerful people and tycoons in England want to get the biggest piece of the pie at the lowest cost.

Glasgow, once an industrial center, manufacturing center and source of wealth, has quickly become one of the most difficult cities in England and Scotland in terms of people's livelihood.

Han Li had seen these situations in newspapers and magazines before coming to Glasgow, but he did not expect that the actual situation was far worse than what was reported in the newspapers.

As soon as Han Li's RV entered the territory of Glasgow, he saw a lot of weedy wastelands that could not be covered by snow, garbage everywhere, abandoned vehicles without wheels, and a raging fire burning somewhere in the distance.

Walking a little further inside, Han Li saw that most of the shops on both sides of the road had their doors and windows sealed with iron plates. Almost all of these iron plates were covered with all kinds of messy graffiti, some of which were even some weird patterns banned by the English authorities.

There were also some shops whose iron plates showed signs of burning and had many bullet marks. It was not difficult to imagine what happened at that time.

These are all inanimate objects, which is not a big deal. The sound of the RV's engine diverted many people's attention.

The way they looked at Han Li's RV was as if they were looking at prey, which made Han Li feel uncomfortable.

When Han Li saw this situation, he was worried that a rifle would suddenly come out from the houses on both sides of the road and fire a volley of bullets at him. He didn't have the confidence to deal with bullets shot from an unknown source while sitting in a fixed position like the driver's seat.

So Han Li stepped on the accelerator and let the RV leave the area as quickly as possible.

After Han Li drove into the city of Glasgow, he finally felt relieved.

After all, Glasgow was once an industrial powerhouse, and those English dignitaries and tycoons, for the sake of their family's "future" industries, would limit those chaotic situations to a certain range.

Otherwise, if the facilities are damaged by those people, these powerful and wealthy businessmen will have to use their own money to repair them.

Therefore, as long as people enter the city and do not go to the slums or the areas where unemployed factory workers live, there will basically be no problem with everyone's personal safety.

Currently, the safest areas in the city are the area near Glasgow City Hall, the area near Glasgow Cathedral, and the area near the University of Glasgow.

Han Li came from Edinburgh. Driving from east to west, the first place he should arrive at should be Glasgow Cathedral.

However, Han Li did not stay here, nor did he have any intention of staying overnight. Instead, he drove all the way to the mouth of the Clyde River and found a more upscale hotel near a campus of the University of Glasgow to stay in.

The area Han Li chose not only has very good public security, but also has many conveniences.

At least there are a lot of students here, which allows Han Li to understand the city more directly from these students, so that he can make better arrangements for his next trip.

However, Han Li still underestimated the changes that unemployment would bring to the people in this city. Many people had to make changes in order to survive.
