Falling into the Abyss

Ethan originally thought that the seven inhumans would be escorted to the Moral Tribunal for trial and judgment, but in fact, after they were kicked off the Magic Flute, they were transported directly to the Forbidden City, with almost no chance to set foot outside the Forbidden City.

Coming out of the transport plane, in front of you is a hazy sky spreading far beyond the high wall and an empty field covered with rough stones. The wind with a certain damp and cold smell blows on your cheeks, instantly evoking the memory of two months ago. The feeling of just entering the Forbidden City.Everything here looks dilapidated and dirty, and even the air is denser than outside the city.Ethan squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the crooked concrete buildings outside the empty field not far away that looked like they were about to collapse at any time. The desire for life that was so strong on the red earth suddenly became as distant and indistinct as the moonlight.

The shock collars around their necks were removed. A vicious-looking guard pointed a gun at them and ordered them all to take off their clothes. Another guard looked through their bodies with a scanning mirror.Seven inhumans stood naked in front of all the guards, as vulnerable as babies.Ethan unconsciously wrapped his arms around his body, squinted at Samuel, and saw that the latter was standing upright with no shame on his face.

"Fifty people went out, and only seven came back. It's really a great mission." A guard talked to the person next to him in a low voice, and even laughed a few times.

"I heard that you guys got into big trouble?" The ferocious guard smiled viciously, "I don't know how to cherish the very good task. Now it's all right. Not only can I not get points, but I might even be deducted a few points." [-]%, you just wait to rot in this place."

All non-humans are like lifeless wooden people, no matter what the guards say, they will not respond.The Alpha guard who scanned his whole body saw Ethan, and whistled unexpectedly, "Isn't this the government secretary? Look at you, a frail scholar, and you survived."

"Hahaha, look on his neck, the red thing is a tooth mark that is about to heal, right? He probably survived by eating Alpha's bananas~" The ugly words continued, and Ethan bit the flesh on the inside of his lower lip. , Bite until the mouth is full of rust, suppressing anger and shame.The guard leaned close to his ear at this time, and asked ambiguously, "Hey, you were so good at the top, didn't you rely on this?" Crisp sound.

Ethan's whole body trembled violently, his brows were tightly frowned, and his lips were pursed into a line.In order to hide the anger that was about to burst out, he tightly closed his eyes, because he knew that he couldn't show any emotions, if he didn't want to be eliminated by the opportunity, after all, his current situation was already very bad.

After a series of checks and humiliations, they were disbanded.Ethan followed Samuel back to the room of the two of them. The latter was also taciturn along the way, exuding a biting cold air.Even those non-humans who wanted to greet him were so frightened that they touched their noses and hurried away.

There was chaos in the small room, Ethan's bedspread and quilt were gone, and the toiletries he brought were thrown all over the floor, as if they had been looted.On the other hand, Samuel's things haven't been touched much.Ethan stood by the bed in a daze, "Where are my things?"

"Hmph, don't you think that people in the Forbidden City will respect personal belongings? They heard that you were going to participate in the Ten Ten Missions, and they thought you were a dead person." Samuel lay on the bed, stretched and strong body of.

"Then why are your things okay?"

"Hmph, they only dare to touch my things after confirming the news of my death." His tone was somewhat arrogant, which made Ethan furious.

This group of bullying scumbags...

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that he himself is also a part of these scumbags...

Since they just arrived today, they were spared the work in the morning, but they still have to go to work in their respective positions in the afternoon.The Forbidden City itself is a small ecosystem. Food has to be grown and synthesized by itself, clothes have to be mended and cleaned by themselves, streets have to be cleaned by themselves, and garbage has to be disposed of by themselves.Everyone has to work to maintain the operation of the entire Forbidden City system.In addition, the excess manpower in the Forbidden City will also help some companies outside the Forbidden City to produce some goods, because non-humans do not need to be paid wages, which can effectively reduce costs.And some other people with special talents, such as Derek, will remotely assist the government or some large companies in the research and development of some confidential projects.

Samuel put on the clothes of a construction worker, put on the worn-out helmet that had been knocked off, and opened the door as if to leave.Ethan asked him quickly, "What should I do?"

"They didn't tell you what your job was?"

Ethan shook his head. He was taken to the Red Earth when he first came to the Forbidden City, and he didn't even finish his breakfast.Samuel took it out of his pocket, lit his cigarette, said casually, "Ask a guard yourself. I'm not your mother." Then he went out.

Ethan let out a long sigh, it seemed that Samuel was still angry with him for no reason, and he didn't know how long he would be angry.He shrugged his shoulders and suddenly felt very sticky all over his body.He rummaged under the bed for a long time, only to find that his change of clothes had also been taken away.No way, he simply went to Samuel's closet to find a set, and took advantage of the fact that the whole building was almost empty and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.Samuel's clothes were too baggy for him, so he rolled up his sleeves, wiped his glasses with the hem of his clothes, and went out.

At this time, the streets in the residential area seemed a little empty, but every few steps, you could still see the robot police standing silently by the side of the road, with the flashing red light on his head spinning slowly following his footsteps.Every time he passed these killing machines, he felt nervous. Ethan walked quickly along the long street, looking around, looking for the guards.It was strange to say that usually the guards were everywhere, but now when he wanted to find someone, he couldn't find any.

It's not that he wants to work so much, it's just that all the sheets and quilts have been robbed, so he has to ask if there are any extras.

However, he didn't know if he was on the wrong road. The more remote he walked, the more dilapidated the buildings on both sides were, and some of them had even collapsed in half.He had just arrived, and he had no idea what the area was, and he was not sure whether he should continue walking.

However, at this moment he heard a cry for help.

The sound was so shrill and miserable, it was heart-piercing, and it instantly reminded him of the churning he heard on the red earth of those people who were swept away by the tentacles.Horrible memories swept in like a wave, almost making him run away.But the man's repeated crying and begging made him unbearable, so he searched for the sound on tiptoe.

In a more than half-collapsed building, several guards laughed and surrounded a man whose hands were hung from an exposed steel beam.

To be precise, it is an Omega non-human, and Ethan actually knows this non-human.

Isn't that his former colleague in the Energy Bureau, one of the researchers in charge of Project Zero - Sbarro Taifeng?

I saw that Omega's whole body was covered with scars and stains, trembling in the wind.And he had never seen the Alpha guard headed by him before, but his appearance was impressive.The tall and thin guard didn't wear a hat, showing a head of gray hair, his narrow face looked too dark, and his eyes were reminiscent of vultures.He was playing with a baton with electric shock function in his hand, and the crackling blue electric sparks kept flickering.

Taifeng was already crying, pleading constantly, "Enough, enough, I don't dare anymore! I was wrong!"

The guards laughed happily, as if the Omega's tears could bring them the greatest happiness.The gray-haired guard showed no mercy, and once again slammed his baton into Taifeng's inner thigh. Omega let out a bone-chilling scream, and his whole body tensed like a bow.

I don't know how long he has been tortured like this, there is even a puddle of excrement and unknown filth under his dangling feet.

Ethan had a good relationship with Taifeng when he was in the Energy Bureau, he didn't expect that even he was thrown in.

Is it also because of Project Zero?

However, what frightened him even more at the moment was the distorted smile on the faces of the guards.They admired Taifeng's twitching body, admired his foaming mouth, and admired his struggle on the verge of death.They were so engaged, as if they were tormenting someone with whom they had a deep hatred, rather than a helpless Omega.

These guards suddenly made him feel more terrifying than the genital goddess on the red earth.Because he suddenly realized that there are no rules in the Forbidden City. As legal citizens, those guards can do anything to these inhumans, even if they kill them, it is not illegal.They can freely vent their darkest emotions on non-human beings.

Ethan didn't know what to do, he wanted to help Taifeng, but he knew that if he went out rashly at this time, his fate would not be better than Taifeng's.The best choice is to sneak away quickly.

He hid behind the half earth wall and fell into a battle between heaven and man, where conscience and fear saw each other.In the end, it was fear that got the upper hand.

No one would blame you for being selfish in a place like the Forbidden City, right?Even if he rushes out, it won't help?

He comforted himself like this, turned around and tiptoed, intending to slip away when all the guards turned their backs to him, but was suddenly seen by Tai Feng who had just recovered and opened his eyes.Tai Feng seemed to have grasped the last straw, and shouted hoarsely, "Help me!!! Save me!!!"

The guards wondered why he suddenly yelled so confidently, but Ethan behind them couldn't move anymore.

With Taifeng's desperate eyes staring at him, he really couldn't pretend he didn't hear and just leave.Just as he hesitated for a moment, the gray-haired guard turned his head and saw him.

"You..." The falcon-like eyes narrowed, as if staring at a desperate mouse.

Ethan was so frightened that his legs went weak, and he shouted loudly, "Report sir! The non-humans on the construction site are fighting! The situation is out of control, and they asked me to come find reinforcements!"
