216 An Unexpected Massacre (Part 3)

Old Li was silent for a moment before sighing and saying, “It’s a pity that I’ve only been working for three years with a decent income. I’ll have to move again.”

Listening to Old Li’s tone, he had changed his job many times in his life as a butcher. He had seen many similar scenes of slaughtering civilians.

Old Li had lived in this man-eating world, and his three views had already been formed. As long as it had no direct relationship with him, even if he had the ability, he would not take the risk to save people.

Ning Shi could understand this kind of behavior.

It was just that Ning Shi still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Although most of the people in the orphanage were strangers, Ning Shi was, after all, a good young man who grew up in the civilized life of Saturn. It was difficult for him to remain indifferent when he saw innocent people being slaughtered.

Especially since he knew a few people in the orphanage, including the old Director Song Yuan, who was a good person, and aunt Lu, who cooked and cleaned for Ning Shi and Old Li.

But Ning Shi did not take any action.

With his current strength, trying to save people was no different from seeking death.

In Ning Shi’s heart, he had no intention of avenging the people in the orphanage. He just didn’t agree with the current system of the origin planet.

There was no protection for the civilians in the outer city.

Ning Shi couldn’t help but ask, “Master, the radioactive people are killing the civilians so wantonly, why don’t the army and government of Sword Shield City step forward to stop them?”

“As long as a mecha is deployed, these radioactive people will not be able to escape and will all die.”

Old Li turned around and looked at Ning Shi in surprise. Anyone who grew up in Sword Shield City would not ask such a stupid question.

He didn’t doubt Ning Shi’s identity and just thought that Ning Shi was simple. However, he didn’t immediately answer Ning Shi’s question, but said, “Let’s go. We can’t stay here for long. The radioactive people might search the back mountain. Let’s go to the inner city and find a hotel to stay in.”

Ning Shi followed Old Li. The two of them ran to a main road in the outer city, stopped a taxi, and came to the entrance of the inner city.

The entrance was open 24 hours a day. It was 2:30 in the morning, and there was still a long line at the entrance.

Old Li didn’t line up but took Ning Shi to the VIP passage.

After verifying their identities in the VIP passage, the two of them successfully entered the pass.

“Xiao Ning, it’s a good thing that you’ve been tested to have an S-level aptitude. You’re now a third-class citizen of the republic and have third-class VIP access. Otherwise, we’d have to queue up again.

Sensing Ning Shi’s silence, Old Li deliberately said so.

With Old Li’s strength, he must have a special identity. Ning Shi was very sure of this. His master was not a simple character.

Thinking of this, Ning Shi was still very glad that he had not been obsessed with Nico’s task in the orphanage. Instead, he had decisively chosen to be a butcher and met Old Li.

Otherwise, even if he did not die from Nico’s bad luck, he would definitely die under the attack of the radioactive people.

Ning Shi once again understood the difficulty of survival in the Titanium Pole World.

Old Li was very familiar with the inner city. Under his guidance, the two of them arrived at a luxurious hotel called the Red Sword Hotel.

In order to protect Ning Shi’s safety, Old Li booked a standard room with two beds.

After entering the room, Old Li said, “I’ll explain your question just now.

“There are inner and outer cities in many cities on the origin planet. The reason for the existence of the outer city is to protect the inner city and act as a buffer for the battle.

“Therefore, the residents living in the outer city are all cannon fodder in the eyes of the rulers of the inner city.

“As long as the radioactive people do not go too far, the army and elites in the inner city will not send out troops to save the lower-class people in the outer city.

“This is how Sword Shield City and many other cities survive.

“I thought you grew up in the outer city and should have a clear understanding of these things.”

Ning Shi didn’t explain why he didn’t know about the ecosystem in the inner and outer cities. His identity was completely true, and he wasn’t afraid of Old Li’s investigation.

Tens of thousands of people had died in the outer city, but in the eyes of the inner city elites, it was just a one-time act of the radioactive people.

He stopped dwelling on this question and raised a new one.

“Master, why Orphanage No. 15? The outer city is so big, why do the radioactive people want to attack Orphanage No. 15? Is it just a coincidence?”
