Chapter 855 The Cruel World
Gerald nodded and said, “What exactly is going on? What’s your relationship with this girl and this street?”
Jacob nodded and said, “Let’s talk about this street first. We know too little about this world. Although Hector told us some things, there have been many changes in this world over the years!”
Gerald’s expression changed. Gerald said, “What? What do you mean?”
“In the City of Phoenix, this street is called Abandoned Land,” Jacob said.
Gerald frowned and said, “Abandoned Land?”
At this time, Claude said, “I just saw that there are many super experts among this group. Logically speaking. with their strength, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to have the identity of upper-class people.”
Jacob said, “This place is called Abandoned Land because these people have stayed in this place since they were young. They have been abandoned here since they were babies. Only those who are at the level of Flame Decay can leave here. Otherwise, they have to stay here for the rest of their life no matter how strong they are. Someone on the outside can get them out, too. Later, you have to give me the identity serial number of upper-class people. When I leave the street, I have to go through some procedures.”
Gerald frowned and said, “Really? No one stopped us when we came in.”
Triston let out a breath and said, “You’ll know it when we get out. Let’s continue talking about this place!”
Jacob said with a trace of coldness in his eyes, “Eighty years ago, the entire world has started to carry out a genetic order. In this world, every newborn baby has to undergo gene testing. Those with less than 80 percent genetic perfection will be thrown into this place.”
Gerald and the others’ expressions changed slightly. Gerald asked, “Have they been thrown here since they
were babies?”
Triston said, “Yes. They have been thrown here since they were babies. No one can protect them. They say that to protect genetic perfection, they eliminate those who have bad genes. Of course, these babies will be adopted by the people on this street.”
“There are not that many people with genetic perfection below 80 percent. Most of them have some innate defects. The people on this street are enough for the City of Phoenix. In fact, every city has such a street
now,” Triston added.
Gerald and the others fell silent.
The cruelty of this world was far beyond Gerald’s imagination.
There was a great gap between the upper-class people and the lower-class people.
There were also divisions of genetic defects.
*This is not the cruelest thing. The cruelest thing is that the people here are not allowed to have children in their entire lives. Even if they are brought out, they have no right to have children. Most of them can only adopt abandoned children. Otherwise, they can only die alone.”
Gerald finally knew why those people had that kind of expression.
It was too cruel.
They would never be able to leave such a street in their entire lives.
No matter how hard they tried to cultivate, and even if they were at the level of Flame Decay, they could not
leave this street.
From infancy, their range of activity was confined to this street.
“Then why didn’t we receive a test when we came in?” Claude asked confusedly.
Jacob sighed and said, “We are already adults, so we skipped this test. Others will think that we are
lower-class people.”
Gerald looked at Rylee and said, “What about this girl? What happened?”
A rare hint of shyness appeared on Jacob’s face. Then, Jacob coughed and said, “She… is my wife in the
game.”
Triston and the others looked at Jacob in a daze and asked, “What? Your wife in the game? So are you having
an online romance?”
“That is pretty much it,” Jacob coughed and said.
“Can people here buy gaming equipment, too?” Valery asked with a frown.
Jacob nodded and said, “She didn’t buy her equipment. She picked it up by accident. Her name is Rylee Farrington. The reason why she was abandoned here is that…”
After saying this, Jacob looked at Rylee sympathetically and said, “She has congenital heart disease.”
“With the world’s medical technology, congenital heart disease should be easy to treat,” Valery frowned and said.
Jacob sighed and said. “Yes, but this is already a genetic defect. So she can only be abandoned on this street. She accidentally picked up a broken game cabin and then began to secretly play the game. She met me in the game!”
“After we got to know each other, she said that a man had been harassing her recently, trying to take her out as a slave. She was unwilling to do that. Then I came to save her,” Jacob smiled and said.
