Chapter 948: Abandoned Fellows

Under the leadership of Ruberu and others, Lin Fan and his companions met a completely different group of Yuehua people.

They are called the Outcasts, but they are also Moon People. But they are full of emotions and have a strong appeal.

The underground world was not as bright as the one on the ground, and even the air always carried a faint, indescribable smell. They walked through the corridor that was not as spacious as the one on the ground, listening to the low laughter and whispers of Luberu and the others, as if the slightly worse environment had also been given a layer of warm filter.

Fortunately, Noah did not want to take sides, as their hearts were clearly leaning towards these people who showed their true feelings.

The dance halls in the underground world were not much different from the nightclubs on Lanxing. They also had ostentatious colored lights, but there were not many people dancing on the dance floor in the middle. People just swayed their bodies to the soft music.

In the dim environment, the features of Lin Fan and others were concealed, and almost no one noticed their arrival.

As soon as Antonio arrived here, he turned on the automatic navigation function. Without anyone pointing him, he found the bar directly and ordered a drink.

While the bartender was stunned, Luberu arrived and explained their identities. After that, the bartender used all his skills to fill the bar.

The wine in the dungeon is light fruit wine, not strong, and there are also many fruit juice drinks.

In terms of quality and taste, it’s actually not as good as what you get on the ground, but the atmosphere is good.

They can sit at the bar and relax, listen to the music, watch the swaying figures on the dance floor, and chat with new friends about some light topics...

Until they left the cabaret, few people noticed their line of work. Of course, the bartender had a beautiful commemorative medal on his chest.

"So why were you driven underground?" Antonio asked curiously. "It seems that you are not much worse than the Moon People on the ground. They are so anxious that they want to blow themselves up."

Coming out of the cabaret, a group of people wandered aimlessly around the block.

The overall architectural style of the underground city is not as uniform as that on the ground. Buildings of different ages are mixed together, which looks chaotic and strange, but also full of freedom.

"That was an era when numbers spoke, and numbers represented everything," Ruberu replied. "When technology developed to a certain stage, it was advanced enough to replace a certain class of low-level labor and cover most of people's lives. When people adapted to the convenience of this high technology and became dependent on it, laziness grew and they became unwilling to think."

"That's right," Antonio nodded. "Ever since I experienced the takeout in Country H, I don't want to go out to eat anymore. I only order food based on the ratings, but often times, the food with high ratings may not be as delicious as the reviews say."

Ruberu didn't know what takeaway was, so Antonio explained it to him in detail.

"Oh, it's like an express delivery service." Luberu understood. "We have it here too, not just for food, everything can be delivered quickly."

Lin Fan thought of the advanced rail system, but he was not surprised. He brought the topic back to the topic: "The consequence of not wanting to think is to blindly believe in the written results, the numbers detected by advanced instruments, right?"

"Yes," Luberu nodded, "In fact, the original intention was good, to gather outstanding people together. But somehow, slowly, the original purpose changed, and humans were like picked goods, and were judged as qualified or unqualified according to scores."

"There's no need to be confrontational!" Antonio didn't quite understand. "Isn't it enough to just do your job well in your respective positions? No one can be good at everything. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses."

Luberu shook his head slightly. "That's true, but at that time, the Yuehua people who thought they were superior didn't think so. The more the planet developed, the more they disliked those with low scores."

"Class division..." Lin Fan murmured.

"They despised us because we were only like worker ants and could not do the high-tech jobs they did. They completely denied our contributions. Later, they even thought that our existence would continue to slow down the genetic progress of Yuehua Star and was the culprit for the slowdown of civilization."

"That's too much!" Antonio said in surprise, "A healthy society is essentially made up of many factors, and population is the most basic element."

"But they believe that the quality of people is the core that determines the planet's development potential and innovation capabilities. We, whose genes are not good enough, have become stumbling blocks on their road to development and a stain on the planet..."

"For the sake of the invisible progress of civilization, forcibly dividing one's own compatriots is simply..." Lin Fan sighed.

"Too radical!" Antonio also shook his head in disbelief. "What happened next? Did you fight?"

"Not at the beginning. Because of the social structure, most of the resources and weapons were concentrated in their hands. When our ancestors wanted to resist, they found that their chances of winning were not great," Ruberu explained.

"So no matter what time, you have to be strong in hard power." Lin Fan felt touched, "If you were strong enough at that time, or had enough force to protect yourself, you might not have come to this day."

But then again, who could have imagined that humans would kill their own kind?

It is like the whole village pooling money to support a few promising people, hoping that they can bring everyone together to become rich when they become successful. However, they become so rich that they have long forgotten the original agreement and instead regard the poor villagers who once supported them as a shame and cut off their ties without hesitation.

"Yes, it was too late when our ancestors discovered this problem... But after so many years of hard work, we have caught up." Luberu smiled, "At that time, not only did we not dare to move, but those high and mighty people also did not dare to do anything to us. Because technology had not yet developed to the stage where it could completely replace manpower, they still needed us to serve as robotic arms and batteries to keep the planet running..."

“Oh my god!” Antonio pulled his hair exaggeratedly, “Doesn’t that mean he’s looking down on you and asking you to work?!”

Seeing Luberu nod, he asked louder, "It's like this, and you're still doing it?! Strike!"

Lin Fan pulled Antonio: "Without hard power as a bargaining chip, the strike is just a meaningless clamor, and will eventually become a joke that no one cares about."

"Yes," Luberu nodded. "At that time, we were like parts on a huge conveyor belt. Once we stopped, we would face a severe crisis of survival. So even though everyone could not stand the oppression that was taken for granted, few people really stopped to live their lives."

"Then what led to your breakup and the final outbreak?" Lin Fan asked.

Luberu smiled sarcastically: "It was the advancement of technology that completely replaced the low-level labor force. When we became dispensable and a waste of space and resources, they finally began to ruthlessly clean up the quality of the population."

"Oh my god!" Antonio, a big man, couldn't help but feel terrified. Just by hearing what he heard, he could imagine what the scene was like. "Then you have no chance of winning. How did you escape?"

“It’s the Venerable!” Luberu grinned, a smile that came from the heart. “It was the Venerable who led us to avoid the encirclement and suppression, hiding underground, and taking our time. Only then can we defeat those people up there today. Hahahaha…”

The young people all laughed.

"So," Luberu restrained his smile and said solemnly to Lin Fan and Antonio, "The Venerable is really very important to us. Please take good care of him."
