Chapter 1219
1219 Strength and forbearance (1)
In essence, there was not much difference between the citizens of the floating city and the abandoned people on the ground.
Although they had once lived on the same land, the status of the two sides was now very different. Every citizen was used to looking down at the ants struggling to survive on the ground with a high attitude.
In the eyes of these citizens, it was because of their generous ” charity ” that the abandoned people had the chance to survive on the ground that was already riddled with holes.
However, from Tang Zhen’s point of view, this kind of thinking was truly laughable!
The construction method of the floating city was actually very similar to that of the monster City. After all, they came from the same top-secret experiment. The only difference was that the former could be built according to a certain procedure.
However, the resources needed to build the city came from the land where the abandoned people lived, and they were plundered without considering the consequences!
The abandoned people’s living space was constantly deprived by the citizens, but in the end, not only did the other party not know gratitude, but they also thought that everything was reasonable.
Looking at the behavior of the citizens in front of him, he knew what kind of status the abandoned people had in their eyes!
Under the gazes of everyone, a group of citizens stood in front of Tang Zhen and the others as they looked at the entrance in front.
“Is this the place?”
A young citizen who was walking at the front stopped. He looked at the deep metal passage in front of him and asked in a very cold voice.
This citizen was dressed in an exquisitely long white robe that looked spotless. His face was very handsome, and his long hair was draped behind his back. He looked like he was out of this world.
The most eye-catching thing was the crystal embedded between his brows. It looked very valuable, and its surface would flash from time to time.
“According to my previous calculations, I’m very confident that this is the place we’re looking for!”
After hearing the question from the leading white-robed citizen, the other white-robed citizen behind him quickly replied. Compared to the other citizens, this citizen’s physique was slightly thinner and weaker. At the same time, he was wearing a pair of heavy mechanical glasses.
“It’s good that we didn’t get the wrong place. We don’t have that much time to waste!”
The young citizen in the lead said. Then, he glanced at Tang Zhen and the others with a cold gaze. His eyes seemed to be mixed with traces of disdain and disgust.
He waved his hand gently and turned to look at the monster City. A hint of fanaticism and greed flashed in his cold eyes.
After seeing the citizen leader’s action, another strong-looking citizen with an overbearing expression stood up and fiercely shouted at Tang Zhen and the others,”All of you, move to the side, you disgusting trash-eating guys!”
Uncle Jim’s face flashed with anger when he heard that. However, he still took a deep breath and retreated to the empty space at the side.
When he was confronting the group of abandoned people earlier, Uncle Jim did not give in at all. However, when he faced these citizens, he simply gave up the hard-won first-entry spot.
The reason for this was that these citizens had a powerful armed force. Perhaps they only needed to send out an armed robot to kill all the abandoned people present!
It was obviously an extremely irrational behavior to argue with them.
Morris and the others had always followed Uncle Jim’s lead. Seeing that he had chosen to retreat, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only retreat obediently and give up the area they had stopped in earlier to the other party.
However, in the process of retreating, Morris’s behavior was very strange. His face seemed to be a little red, and he was also avoiding the citizens ‘position.
One of his companions noticed Morris ‘abnormal behavior. As a result, when they followed his line of sight, they saw that his eyes had been fixed on a woman in the group of citizens, revealing a somewhat infatuated look.
The woman was tall and slender. She was like a beautiful fairy in the White robe. Although her expression was cold and arrogant, it made her temperament even more outstanding.
Morris was not the only one who was secretly sizing up The Woman in White. Even among the citizens who had come, there were a few young men who were looking at her from time to time. Their eyes were filled with infatuation and desire!
His companion smiled and elbowed Morris secretly. He lowered his voice and said, ” “How is it? isn’t this woman very beautiful?”
Morris subconsciously nodded, then suddenly came to his senses. He looked at his companion in embarrassment and anger. He had an unhappy expression on his face after his privacy was exposed. At the same time, he reached out and scratched his messy hair.
During this time, Morris stole another glance at The Woman in White. In the end, he saw that she was still looking forward coldly and did not even look in his direction. He could not help but feel disappointed.
His companion saw that Morris did not seem to have good intentions, so he said with a smile, ” what’s there to be embarrassed about? women are meant to be pursued by men. Don’t hesitate when you should take action. You should know that I was already a father when I was your age!
His companion’s words were actually just a joke, just to tease Morris.
Hearing this, Morris ‘face turned even redder. At the same time, he argued in a low voice, ” “It’s different, it’s different!”
“What’s the Difference? aren’t we all women?”
“Hey, I told you, this is different!”
Morris ‘tone was a little embarrassed and angry. He argued in a low voice, but he still looked at The Woman in White from time to time.
Perhaps it was because both parties were close to each other, but the conversation between Morris and his companions was almost entirely heard by the white-robed citizens.
The Woman in White, whose expression was as cold as an Ice Mountain, finally turned her head slightly to where Morris was. Then, she sized him up with an expressionless face.
Her eyes were equally cold, as if there was no emotion in them at all. Coupled with the mysterious crystal shimmering on her forehead, she looked more like a goddess who was above the common populace!
Morris looked at The Woman in White in a daze, and even his breathing seemed to have become rapid.
In the end, The Woman in White turned her head back after taking a glance at Morris, as if Morris was just a mass of air.
A hint of disappointment appeared in Morris ‘eyes, but it was more of an inferiority complex and unwillingness.
Uncle Jim sighed to himself. He wanted to comfort Morris and tell him that there would always be a huge gap between the abandoned and the citizens. Friendship and love would never exist.
Morris was young and could not be seen through, so he had to remind him in time, in case he was deeply trapped in it and could not extricate himself!
However, before Uncle Jim could speak, a burst of mocking laughter came from the citizens opposite him.
hahaha, this is interesting. This trash-eating guy has actually taken a fancy to our goddess!
I’ve heard of this saying before,’overestimating your own ability’. I didn’t understand it at first, but now I finally understand what it means!
Hmph, you’re worse than a dog and you want to have improper thoughts about citizens. This is a crime!
“I think so too, so it’s necessary to teach them a lesson so that they can remember!”
