The first-class goods that Chu Tianzhu mentioned were the goods secretly brought back by a salvage man, Lao Li.

When Lao Li went to sea to salvage the remains of the past city last time, he found a safe that was mostly covered in mud.Under the long-term corrosion of seawater, the safe had lost its original function, and Lao Li easily opened it.Inside the safe is an ornate pedestal with a tiny capsule in it.

He handed in the base and secretly took the capsule home. Inside the capsule was a big red gown. The technology and material used were not much different from modern times, but it was extra thin and unique in style. It should be at the end of the era before the sea level rose. product of.

The salvagers in this area usually contact Chu Tianzhu as an intermediary to find buyers for them after they bring back the items.Chu Tianzhu has friendship with their leader Jin Liusu, and they never cheat. They trust Chu Tianzhu very much.

Chu Tianzhu didn't know where Lao Li lived, so he could only contact him through Jin Liu. something coming.

The flow of time in the two worlds is different. After such a short period of time, I am afraid that several days have passed on the side of Cotinus cotinus. Chu Tianzhu told Jin Liu: "The buyer is in a hurry, as soon as possible."

Jin Liu simply nodded and went out.

After a while, he came back with Lao Li.Lao Li is a thin middle-aged man, like all salvagers, exposed to the wind, sun, and sea water, he looks very old, with thin beads of sweat on his wrinkled forehead, and he must have walked in a hurry on the road.

As soon as Lao Li entered the door, he took out the capsule and handed it to Chu Tianzhu. Chu Tianzhu took it, unscrewed the capsule, and there was a ball of fiery red inside.

He pinched the red corner with his fingertips, pulled it out and shook it lightly, the gown that was originally shrunk in a small capsule unfolded smoothly.This long gown is really long - with Chu Tianzhu's height, the sleeves and back hem might be dragged on the ground.High-tech materials, no wrinkles, impervious to water and fire, integrally formed, no traces of cutting seams, as thin as a cicada's wing, faintly emitting a hazy red light under the dim yellow light. .

After inspecting the goods, Chu Tianzhu rolled up the gown and stuffed it back into the capsule.He took out the rolls of contribution coupons from his bag, and handed them to Lao Li: "It's 30 in total, you order a little, and I'll take it away if there's no problem."

"So much!" Lao Li's eyes lit up, his hands were flustered, and he quickly went through the rolls of coupons, and counted out some of them to return to Chu Tianzhu as a commission: "I thought this was going to be thrown in my hands. Is it the natural bamboo that has the ability, is it the big head of the food factory, or the small leaf in the ventilation layer?"

The two people he was talking about were black market merchants with "channels" in the upper city. Some rare items that could not be eaten in the lower city could be connected to intermediaries in the upper city through such underground merchants.

Chu Tianzhu gave him a cold look: "Do you want to do business, or do you want to ask questions?"

Jin Liu's steel-like fingers grabbed Lao Li's shoulder: "Don't forget the rules of our business, don't inquire about irrelevant matters."

The fluttering look on Lao Li's face disappeared, and he slapped himself hard: "I was confused! Sixth brother, Tianzhu, don't worry, I will immediately lose my memory when I leave this door, nothing happened today No, I've never been here."

Seeing that Lao Li had woken up from the excitement of the windfall, Jin Liu let him go back.Chu Tianzhu divided half of the commission and handed it to Jin Liu. Jin Liu shook his head and refused: "You keep it yourself, make more preparations, there may be big moves in the near future."

Chu Tianzhu looked at Jin Liu suspiciously. The day before he left this world, he had just participated in a secret meeting of the high-level rebel army. Xi Yu, the leader of the rebel army, did not mention this matter. I don't know the reason.

Jin Liu's face is very solemn. When salvagers go to sea to work, they have the opportunity to leave the closed environment of the lower city, and sometimes they can even meet salvage ships from other cities. They can get more information and look at things differently. A unique perspective on ordinary downtown residents.Jin Liu must have seen something, but he was unwilling to tell Chutian Zhuming.

Chu Tianzhu remembered the question about the source of funds for the Rebel Army.When he was in another world, he learned that Ji Xuanling opened a school to provide free board and lodging for commoner students, and it actually costs a huge amount of money every year.The size of the rebel army is more than a hundred times larger than that of the school. To maintain such a large organization for so many years is definitely not something that ordinary civilians in the lower city can do.

Chu Tianzhu's heart sank.Xi Yu has always been the most longed-for goal of all the rebel youths. He is strong, rational, and omnipotent. Like a bright light, he points out the way for the gloomy downtown and makes Chu Tianzhu full of hope for the future for the first time.

Xi Yu never said that he is a resident of the lower city... His identity is a core secret, and strictly speaking he did not lie, as long as he still leads the residents of the lower city to take back everything that was robbed as promised, he is truly Is your identity really that important?

But Chu Tianzhu couldn't convince himself that everything about the rebel army may not be false, but not all of it is true.

The lower city was extremely closed, and the only source of information for the rebels was Xi Yu.Chu Tianzhu never even had any doubts about the rebel army, what he saw and thought were all under the guidance of Xi Yu.

When he left this environment, saw another world, and looked back at this world, he suddenly discovered that all kinds of irrationality were so obvious, and Xi Yu never even concealed it—he didn't need to hide it, because The civilians in the lower city are locked in this narrow cage, and they don't know how the real world works.

If the nobles in the upper city want to deceive and use the commoners in the lower city, it is as easy as playing with a group of ants, because the rules have always been in their hands.

Chu Tianzhu clenched his fists, trying his best not to reveal his vacillation, he tried to speak calmly, but his voice was uncontrollably hoarse: "Xi Yu...is he..."

He couldn't say the word, the man they should have absolutely trusted, their leader, had betrayed the revolution, or rather, they hadn't been on the same side from the start.

Jin Liu raised his head to look at Chu Tianzhu, his eyes were flushed, and his usually straight spine was bent: "I always thought you would not find out until the last moment."

Chu Tianzhu showed a self-deprecating smile, "Because I'm the stupidest?"

"No, because you have been blinded by the 'ideal' they described. Most people in the lower city are like this. Living in the abyss, they can't wait to grab the only hope, even if this hope is full of poison." Jin Liu propped his elbows on his knees, covered his face with trembling hands, the dim light from the old light bulb above his head formed a distorted shadow behind him.

"What did you find? Tell me." Chu Tianzhu took a deep breath, and the turbid air was filled with the salty smell of sea water that never dissipated, making it extremely depressing—this is the smell of the downtown, the truth smell.

"When we went out to sea last month, we and salvagers from another city focused on the same underwater ruins. The waters are more dangerous, so the company representatives on the ship reached an agreement with the other party to jointly operate. The results of this salvage It was much more than usual. The other ship owner was very happy and invited the company representative to celebrate on his boat. The company representative brought me and a few brothers to serve as his guards. Everyone was drunk that day, and the ship owner found me drunk. He told us to prepare well and make sure to win, he bet heavily on the side of the rebels."

Chu Tianzhu's breath stagnates: "How could he know..."

"They just know that the upper city has a monopoly on communication technology, and they have connections with other cities. Not all cities are like ours... The ship owner knows a lot, and I asked him a little, and he started talking non-stop. He said that the development of the upper city has come to a standstill and has been divided into two factions. The conservative nobles believe that they should increase the control of the lower city and increase the workload; Positivity. This is a five-year gamble. Xi Yu forms a rebel army with the acquiescence of the upper city, and launches a rebellion five years later. If the rebel army can successfully attack the lower city, it can prove that the civilians in the lower city are indeed of certain value , can improve the treatment, otherwise, the conservative faction will win, and will impose a harsher rule on the lower city."

Chu Tianzhu sneered: "Did these nobles think that after the rebel army invaded the upper city, they would sit down and negotiate with them in a friendly manner? Once the anger accumulated in the lower city for many years broke out, it would burn everything in the upper city. Even Xi Yu couldn't help it." Prevent!"

Jin Liu: "The power of Shangcheng is far beyond your imagination. They will wipe out all the rebels who participated in the attack, and announce to the public that the rebels have reached an agreement with Shangcheng after a fierce struggle. The lives of civilians will be improved. Xi Yu will be shaped into a A hero of the common people, under his leadership, the people will willingly become slaves."

"However, the rebel army has far more manpower than the guards. Even if they have more advanced weapons, we may not have no chance of winning."

Jin Liu trembled uncontrollably: "The guards are not what they seem on the surface... They can replenish their manpower at any time. Don't forget, where do the children in the lower city come from?"

The children in the lower city all come from the technology company in the upper city. The residents of the lower city have saved enough contribution points and apply to the technology company. The company extracts their genes and makes a baby.

In other words, the technology companies in the upper city have the technology to create life and the genes of a large number of residents in the lower city, but there are no restrictions on how the company can use these genes, and the residents in the lower city have no ability to protect their genes from being abused .

Members of the guard do not belong to the lower city - no one knows them, and the guard are not nobles, they have the same status as the servants and stewards of the upper city.

Chu Tianzhu felt that his scalp was tight and his hair was standing on end. Those shameless nobles used the genes of the people in the lower city to "produce" the guards, making them the minions of the nobles.In the guard, there may be blood relatives of everyone in the lower city.The nobles sat on the top of a high mountain and let the guards and rebels kill each other to decide how to continue to plunder and enslave the residents of the lower city.
