Chapter 117 "Rose Atrophy" Welcome to Rose City

"I know what you want to ask. What are the purgers in the company, right?"

Li Puzheng loosened his collar, and then his eyes briefly became ferocious.

"They are just a bunch of bastards, a bunch of idiots, I'm a ***"

Li Anxin and Sen Lu were ashamed.

It's obvious how much the other party hates the company he's talking about, and his resentment is as high as the sky.

After venting his emotions briefly, Li Puzheng said slowly:

"There are three companies in Rose City, one energy company and two pharmaceutical companies."

"Before introducing the company, let me first explain how Rose City itself came into being."

"Rose City was founded a hundred years ago. Before it was founded, there was a company that was able to dominate the entire Rose City. It was called the Heart of the World. The company's main purpose was to explore efficient and clean energy. It deployed mining machines called 'Singularity' throughout Rose City."

"These singularity mining machines eventually broke through the space rift and attracted monsters called anomalous containment. These monsters have unique codes of conduct and act according to rules."

rule?

Li Anxin suddenly thought of something.

I'm afraid that those so-called singularity mining machines have broken the spatial barrier between this layer and the grotesque layer, causing the monsters there to pour out from the space cracks.

She shook her head, shook off the thoughts in her mind, and continued to listen to what the man said.

"At first, those monsters relied on the rules on their bodies to run rampant in the city. Rose City was once close to collapse and desolation."

"Until a group of people emerged among the people to explore the rules of monsters themselves. They established an organization, which was the original 'Purgers'.

"They are determined to expel or completely kill those contained objects. They rely on a containment called the 'Sword of Oath' to swear a secret oath to each other and share all knowledge."

And then,

"The World Heart Company unexpectedly discovered that the emotions of these monsters can unexpectedly generate a new and unknown clean energy. This energy can greatly promote the development of the industrial age to the next level."

"So, they secretly recruited those purge personnel and had them work for the company, helping them capture, suppress, and contain those anomalous objects."

"Most of the first batch of purgers violated the rules of the containment object 'Sword of the Oath' and betrayed it. So one by one they were pierced through the body by the Sword of the Oath at dawn."

"The vast majority of the remaining purge personnel will be from the company, either trained by the company itself or selected by the company from other cities."

"During that period, the entire Rose City was thriving, and everyone thought that peace had truly arrived and that the company had brought them peace."

"But how could a guy like this, whose every hole in his body has been oozing dirty blood since he rose up, be the so-called savior?"

“Then there came the Great Depression.”

"Conflicts of interest broke out within the company, and it split into three subsidiaries, which fought for their own interests, and a protracted corporate war broke out."

"I don't know how many people died in the corporate war, but those bastards were able to drive tanks into residents' homes and wantonly destroy houses with artillery shells just to so-called 'open up' an empty battlefield. Don't expect them to show mercy to civilians in the war."

"I'm afraid they would brutally carry out a massacre just for fun."

"During the corporate war, more than half of the inmates escaped, and Rose City almost fell apart. It was not until decades later, when the other two subsidiaries monopolized other aspects of the economy, that this absurd corporate war gradually came to an end."

"The name of the energy company is Zero Point Energy. They have monopolized the energy supply of the entire Rose City. They rely on the emotions of the anomalous containment objects to generate energy. They make a lot of money."

"The other two companies are named Tianyi Left Wing and Tianyi Right Wing, referred to as Left and Right Wing for short. They know everything about the disease 'Rose Atrophy'."

"They spread the virus throughout Rose City, allowing those disgusting roses to bloom in the streets and alleys. They stopped this atrocity only after they confirmed that the vast majority of people were infected, and then forced us to buy their inhibitors."

"This rose drooping disease can only be suppressed when those inhibitors are injected into the body."

"Now, companies are checking and balancing each other, and the lower-class people have no hope of promotion. People in marginal urban areas are forbidden to enter Rose City. Every day, they have to worry about patients with Rose Atrophy and escaped abnormal containment."

"My whole family died because of the company, and I am no exception. I am afraid I will die soon too."

Li Puzhen was no longer emotional when he said these words. Long-term despair had long made him forget how to be sad.

This empty shell only explodes with anger when he talks about his disgust with the company.

"The purgers nowadays are the running dogs of the companies. They have very sensitive noses and will capture the anomalous containment objects left behind during the corporate wars.

"They will randomly capture people from the outskirts of the city and inject them with the Rose Atrophy Virus to observe their reactions. Those who do not turn into monsters will be captured and taken back to the company. It is unknown what they will experience."

|The main mission 1 has been completed, and the preliminary world view has been understood. Now it is time to unlock the player's panel in Rose City. |

|Player: Li Anxin. |

|Identity: Abandoned refugee. |

|Funding: 0. |

|Points: 0. |

|Current assets: Blood Moon Convenience Store. |

Li Anxin sighed, fortunately he had spent all his skull coins.

I didn't expect that when I arrived at a new place, I would directly change to a new currency.

From now on, I will have to struggle in Rose City, and I don’t know what new things I will experience.

Suddenly I miss Vampire Harbor a little bit. After all, I am still a big boss in Vampire Harbor. Wearing a small shoulder badge means I have everything I want.

As a result, I became a refugee in the marginal city here, so sad.

Li Anxin glanced at the scoreboard and saw that many players had already earned points and were at the top of the list.

|Main Mission 2: Find the purgers who are on missions outside within three days, and become the purger of one of the three companies. (Those who fail to complete will be directly eliminated)|

"Compared to this, the management regulations of Mirror City are actually quite good." Senlu murmured.

"This Rose City is quite interesting."

Li Anxin and Sen Lu walked out of the alley silently.

Everything in sight was pale. It was snowing heavily outside, as if it would never stop. There were several frozen stiff corpses buried in the snow, and they were emaciated.

They didn't freeze to death, they starved to death.

A thin layer of frost formed on the windows of the simple houses along the street.

Industrial wastewater flows around me, and in the distance, a neon city like a beacon of hope is shining brightly at this moment.

Chapter 118: "Rose Atrophy" Two Girls Strolling in the Snowfield

Li Anxin stared at the city in the distance in a daze, until Sen Lu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her:

"Huh? Sister, what's wrong?"

Li Anxin shook his head, looked at the desolate and dilapidated surroundings, and said nothing.

There are very few residents here, and most of the houses are built from abandoned tile sheds and cardboard boxes. There is a simple water filter at the door.

It is called a water filter, but in fact it is just a simple mineral water bottle hastily filled with cotton wool and pebbles.

For them, no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or starving to death in the snow.

Therefore, the physiological reactions caused by unhygienic conditions are nothing.

The melted snow water is filtered through a water filter and becomes a source of drinking water for residents in the area.

The residents are not at home during the day, and most of them need to try their luck on the snowfield.

Don't expect their chronically malnourished bodies to be able to hunt.

All they could do was to pick up the food left behind by the purge teams on the snowy plains. Even if there was only a little minced meat left in the metal cans, they would greedily scrape it clean with their fingers and put it into their mouths.

The two girls left Black Rose Lane and walked on the endless snowfield. They took one step at a time. The snow feathers dancing in the cold wind floated down, and all they saw was a vast grey unknown.

For some reason, Li Anxin became interested. She squatted down, rolled a small snowball, and then threw it at Senlu.

"Little Deer, watch the ball!"

Sen Lu tilted his head and looked at the snow stains on his clothes. For a long time he couldn't understand why Li Anxin looked so excited.

"elder sister?"

"Little deer, this is a snowy field!" Li Anxin breathed softly, her little face red from the cold.

“In fact, I have hardly ever seen snow.”

"Snow? Doesn't it fall regularly in winter?"

"No way! Little Deer, you don't know that my former place is in the south. People in the south who are unlucky may never see snow in their lifetime."

As Li Anxin spoke, he squatted down, stretched out his hands to gather the snow on both sides, and made a small snowman.

She wasn't wearing much at the moment, still the same clothes she wore when she came, and she looked out of place with the environment.

Sen Lu sighed, took off his coat and silently put it on Li Anxin's head.

"Um... Hey! My physical condition isn't bad now, and I'm not that cold. Don't treat me like a child!"

Li Anxin grumbled in dissatisfaction, but continued to build the snowman with her little hands, and it soon reached a considerable size.

"Sister, look at this."

The girl's voice sounded, Li Anxin turned her head, and a snowball hit her head accurately. She screamed and fell backwards, crushing the snowman she had just built.

"Ugh... Damn it, little deer! I just piled it up! You, you wait, don't move..."

Li Anxin started making snowballs again. The two girls started a snowball fight on the snowfield, running happily all the way until they came to a ruin.

The ruins were not huge, and looked like an abandoned small town. Almost all the houses were destroyed in the war, leaving only a few walls standing in the cold wind without collapsing.

Not far away was the frozen lake, with a few birds standing on the ice. Li Anxin tilted her head to look at them, and they also tilted their heads to look at the girl, with a hint of curiosity and scrutiny in their black sesame eyes.

Looking at the ruins and lonely pillars, Li Anxin's mind quickly imagined the life of the residents who once lived here.

The years are recorded on these broken walls, telling the world they have been here.

Li Anxin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, hummed a relaxing tune, picked up the dagger and carved words on the broken wall.

As for what was engraved, Sen Lugang walked forward with some curiosity, but Li Anxin blushed and covered the words. The girl stuck out her tongue and said playfully:

"You are not allowed to look at that, little deer!"

It was obvious that Li Anxin couldn't defeat Sen Lu.

After being kissed and rubbed by Morilu, the girl finally let go.

Morilu looked at the girl's handwriting and laughed out loud.

Li Anxin? Senlu visited here~

"Sister, are you childish?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I won't write the deer's name next time."

The two girls continued to move forward, and Morilu moved a fallen boulder from the ruins of a small shopping mall and found a brand new thick gray-brown scarf underneath.

Her eyes lit up slightly, and she grabbed Li Anxin and wrapped the thick scarf around her little face again and again until she looked like a little mummy.

Li Anxin pulled down her scarf and stuck her head out, looking at the smiling Sen Lu with a pout, then turned her face away and ignored him.

They didn't find anything on the snowfield until dark. On the way, Senlu killed a wild boar that was out foraging for food.

Although those wild boars were covered with small eyeballs, they looked very strange.

But the two girls had been hungry for a day.

The outskirts of Rose City are so huge that it would be impossible to circle around them even in seven days.

After dragging the wild boar back to a ruined wall.

Senlu started a bonfire, roasted the snow water on it, filtered it in a professional way, blew on it for Li Anxin, and handed it to the other party.

Li Anxin was not picky and drank it silently in small sips.

Then, she smiled faintly and gently placed her head on Senlu's shoulder. The flickering firelight illuminated the girl's beautiful face:

"Xiaolu, it's great to have you around."

“Hmm-hmm.” The little deer horns swung proudly as the forest deer expertly removed the little eyeballs and roasted the meat.

I really have no sense of vigilance when my sister is around me.

What if I suddenly want to make something delicious someday...

After eating and drinking, Li Anxin snuggled up to Senlu and fell asleep. Her little face looked particularly peaceful under the light of the fire.
