I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 278 Welcome to District 33
The next day, Area 33.

The moment he drove the car over the wall, Lin Zhong clearly felt that he had entered a world completely different from that outside the wall.

People were coming and going on the street, advertising airships and projection ads were slowly swimming in the air, the store signs were bright, and there were many vehicles driving on the road, which made Lin Zhongyi, who was used to driving on uninhabited roads, a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Drive this way." Sitting in the passenger seat, the member of the Clown Gang who was responsible for receiving them gave Lin Zhong directions.

After passing the qualifiers, they are eligible to enter the sanctuary.The underground boxing match is hosted by a company owned by the Clown Gang, and the actual operation is entirely carried out by the Clown Gang. The people who welcome them into the asylum are also members of the Clown Gang.

Lin finally followed his guidance and finally drove to a dormitory-style apartment.

"You must always hang the identity tag issued to you. Don't let anyone steal it. This thing can guarantee your residence qualification until the next game. Of course, if you are eliminated midway, you can also choose to renew directly. If you have the right to live and have some spare money to play for a while, I suggest you buy it. It will be much cheaper than buying it directly from outside. You can also participate in underground boxing matches to make money in the future. I advise you not to escape the control just to stay here. The police here Soldiers are all useless, but if they are just contestants in the underground arena, gangs will come to hunt them down. If they are caught, they can’t just cut off two fingers." The receptionist explained to Lin Zhong, and suddenly the topic changed, " But you don’t have to worry too much.”

"How do you say this?" Lin Zhong asked.

The receptionist was about 40 years old and gave a very gentle impression. If it weren't for the black suit and black sunglasses, it would be hard to think that he was actually a member of the gang.

"I watched your qualifiers. With your skills, you will definitely make it to the finals. You only played one game, right?" the receptionist asked.

"Yes." Lin Zhong said.

"Normally, in order to limit the number of official knockout teams to eight teams, most teams have to eliminate each other in an additional round, but you advanced directly because your performance has been recognized as a seed player." The receptionist Say, "Of course, that's not the point."

"What's the point?" Lin Zhong asked.

"For talents like you, there will definitely be cadres who will invite you to join a gang. Don't underestimate the threshold for joining a gang today. Joining a gang in District 33 and becoming an official gang member is almost equivalent to being a civil servant of the coalition government in other districts. Ah, the income is quite guaranteed. If you can climb to a high position, you will have real glory and wealth, and you will have endless enjoyment. You may be promoted in the future, I have to build a good relationship now." The receptionist was half-joking. He said, "Haha, being a gangster has a better future than being a civil servant. This place is hopeless."

"Is it okay if you say so yourself? You are also a member of the gang, right?" Lin Zhong asked with some confusion.

"Are there not many people in this world who don't like their jobs? I still have children to raise. Without the job I got in the gang, my wife would have to sell herself." The receptionist opened the car window and took out a cigarette Woke up, and after taking a puff and spitting eyeballs out the window, "I'm a local, I was born in this city before the world was fucked up like this, it was a tourist attraction in the golden age, I was a kid I often play in the old town with my friends. There are also beaches, cathedrals, er, there is a big aquarium... Although as a local, I don't think those things are very interesting, but I miss them very much after they are gone. "

"In the golden age, was this city even more developed than it is now?" Lin Zhong asked.

"No no no, although it is still much more developed now...you don't understand what I mean, I mean, all the nostalgic things in the past have disappeared, and now the city has completely changed. Don't look at the glamorous appearance, the inside It sucks, especially after all the nasty shit in the gang, I'm never going to let my wife and kids out on the streets by themselves. You gotta have a good girl, too, but I I still suggest you take it easy when you go out at night. It’s a little better here than outside, just... a little better." The receptionist said.

"It's better to change things than become ruins. You don't know how many cities outside have disappeared." Lin Zhong said.

The saddest thing was actually those areas involved in the abyss. He still remembered the ruins of the city he had seen in the depths of Abyss No. [-]. The residents had long been slaughtered, and the only living people were livestock raised by the apostles as food.

"What other cities have become has nothing to do with this place. I only know that this place could have been better. When the First Substitute Tianxingdao was still active, the situation was actually better, and the gang's style was much more restrained than it is now. ——" He suddenly stopped talking, as if he realized that he shouldn't say this.

Lin did not pursue the question further. If he did, he would definitely not continue the topic. As a member of the Clown Gang, speaking good words for a former gang enemy and being exposed could easily become a reason for questioning.

But it sounds like the second substitute Tianxingdao should not have made much change in the city. This is natural. The second substitute Tianxingdao only started to act three years ago. At that time, the clown gang, which had no enemies, was already in full swing.

"Okay, we're here, park the car." The receptionist pointed to a hotel not far away, "This is where you will stay."

"A hotel for accommodation? This is the first time I've seen it. It looks pretty good." Lin finally took a look and found that in most sheltered areas and deserted cities, there was no such thing as a "hotel" or "guesthouse" at all. The area is planned by the coalition government, and there are as many abandoned houses in the outside city as there are.

But District 33 is different. The vast majority of residents here are "tourists". They come here with money to enjoy themselves and leave when they have spent all their money. These people do not need a small nest to live and work in peace and contentment, but only a temporary place to stay. enough.

Lin Zhong has seen many abandoned hotels in the ruins of the city - these places can often find dusty but well-furnished rooms. This is the first time he has seen a "living" hotel, which looks relatively high-end. .

"This is not considered high-end in District 33. Every time you win, your treatment will increase. Tomorrow is the knockout round. Before that, you can have a good time in the city. Going east is the most prosperous entertainment street and restaurants. There are bars, dance clubs, and stadiums. If you want to go to the red light district, there are a few alleys in the northeast corner. The ones with gang signs are the ones with graffiti on your car. Those places are membership-only and cannot be entered." The receptionist After saying that, he got out of the car and waved to Lin Zhong, "There will be someone inside to take you to your room. Finally, I welcome you to Area 33!"
