Chapter 1740 - 915: Ginkgo Garden

Chapter 1740: Chapter 915: Ginkgo Garden

The small town sank into darkness, accompanied by the clanging of iron.

Qing Chen sat on a bed made of branches and dry grass, closed his eyes, and listened to all the murmurs around him, while casually picking lice.

By four in the morning, two shirtless men suddenly barged in and dragged him outside.

Qing Chen’s legs dragged through the mud as he screamed in terror, "What are you doing? Who are you? Let me go!"

At this moment, Boss Wang emerged from the darkness: "That’s enough, let him go. He’s no expert; an expert wouldn’t have such a reflex."

Qing Chen glared at him angrily: "What are you trying to do? Let me go. I don’t want to earn this money. I’m leaving!"

Boss Wang chuckled: "It’s too late to leave now. You can’t leave without finding something useful in Area 001. There are only two ways to leave this town: the first is to find something valuable in the Taboo Land, the second is to die."

Just then, someone walked out of the darkness with a black box, and Qing Chen recognized it at once. It was used by the World Within Society to store organs.

It used to be common, people carrying it through alleys in the Lower Three Districts.

But after the Parents’ Meeting appeared and occupied the Lower Three Districts one by one, Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu would kill anyone they saw with it and hang them in front of buildings as a warning, so gradually no one dared to be so brazen.

In fact, there is no such thing as voluntary or involuntary in the organ trade; it breeds too much evil and darkness.

The organ trade is possibly the darkest industry chain in the entire Federation; some people would rather sell Dopamine Chips than get involved in this.

Qing Chen looked at the middle-aged man with the black box, who came over and handed the box to a man next to Qing Chen: "Take it to City 19, and remember to avoid the Parents’ Meeting people. Be careful if anyone tails you on the way back. If they find out and trace it back to us, it will be bad for everyone."

"Got it, Gou Wa," the man replied. "That Parents’ Meeting really gets into other people’s business."

"Don’t talk nonsense," the middle-aged Gou Wa glared at him. "Remember that trouble comes from the mouth. Don’t badmouth the Parents’ Meeting outside."

Qing Chen: "..."

Has the reputation of the Parents’ Meeting become so fierce in such a grim area?

And the organs in this box must have been taken from the guy who was just chopping with a knife.

There is a complete industry chain here; they post messages about getting rich overnight, just like how northern Myanmar advertises how lucrative it is, tricking people into being slaughtered like pigs.

Those who remain lucid continue to help them explore the Taboo Land, while those who don’t lose their minds have their organs sold to various cities.

At this time, the middle-aged man named Gou Wa looked at Qing Chen: "Don’t think about running, or you’ll get slaughtered too."

Boss Wang shook his head: "Don’t always scare the newcomers, it makes them skittish and inefficient. The day after tomorrow, you take a team, and Gou Sheng takes a team. This time you see who finds more, remember I won’t live much longer, and I want to enjoy some peace and prosperity in the city after making money. This year let’s see who has more ability between you and Gou Sheng. Whoever wins gets to take over this town."

Gou Wa lowered his head: "Understood... What about Er Hu? Haven’t you considered him?"

"Er Hu is too wild; his ambitions aren’t here," Boss Wang smiled at Qing Chen. "Go back to sleep, sleep well, the day after tomorrow you’ll enter the Taboo Land for work."

They watched Qing Chen stumble back to his shack, laughing heartily.

Suddenly, Gou Wa said, "Why did the sound of iron stopping?"

"Hmm?" Boss Wang said. "Area 001 has opened!"

"But the supplies haven’t arrived yet; they’re supposed to be delivered early tomorrow morning," Gou Wa said.

Boss Wang said, "Then we’ll head in as soon as the supplies arrive! Set off tomorrow! Strange, why did the Taboo Land open early this time?"

After entering the shack, Qing Chen’s face no longer showed fear. He realized that the sound of iron was not coming from the town, but from deep within Area 001.

Yet the sound of iron seemed to linger right by his ears.

Amid his pondering, a woman in the shack next door suddenly screamed: "Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!"

The old guys said this was an amusement park, but what joyful amusement park was this; it was clearly a place of horror.

Qing Chen’s mind grew heavy; the gods Ren Xiaosu and Qing Zhen, both acted with integrity, so why would they design such bizarre rules for the Taboo Land?

Something must have gone wrong... What on earth went wrong?

The next morning, the small town suddenly became lively, with the sound of engines roaring from outside the town. One by one, the prospectors rushed out of their shacks, gathering around the trucks outside town, taking out the ’treasures’ of the Taboo Land they had stashed away.

A young man handed over a few dried leaves: "I have cloud leaves here, give me ten chicken legs, thirty protein bars, four cans of beer, three packs of cigarettes!"

The middle-aged man on the truck cheerfully accepted the cloud leaves, and laughingly shouted to the back of the truck, "Brothers, bring out the goods for Young Master Chen!"

Qing Chen watched from afar. He knew the cloud leaves, which were good for a man’s health when brewed in water; they were a favorite of Upper Three Districts big shots. A small jar of cloud leaf tea could sell for millions.

It’s said that after drinking a can, a seventy-year-old man could regain his vigor.
