Chapter 847: People Are Stupid and Rich, Come Quickly! (Part I)

Once people enter civilized society, they will enjoy the benefits brought by the rules of civilized society, but at the same time, they will also be domesticated by these rules.

For example, Savage was originally just a barbarian. In the Neanderthal period, of course, there wouldn't be high-class hotels and apartment buildings for him to live in. He could actually live in a cave, or find a forest to build a treehouse, or even sleep in the open, find an open space, and lie down to sleep.

In the primitive period, doing this wouldn't have any problems at all. No one would blame you for sleeping in a cave. But in civilized society, even the thugs at the bottom of the slums have bungalows to live in. The great monarch Savage going to sleep in a cave seems a bit shabby.

Savage didn't think he was a barbarian. He felt that he was stronger than any human being, so of course he couldn't accept that he was more down-and-out than the people at the very bottom.

This kind of thinking limited him, making him forget that he actually didn't come from civilized society. There was no need at all to follow the rules here. As long as the most basic survival conditions were guaranteed, there was no need to care about what kind of place he lived in.

But such a prosperous and luxurious civilized society corroded his heart from the vast ancient times. Although he felt in his heart that he couldn't fall behind others, in fact, he also enjoyed the luxurious life here.

For this reason, he didn't want to live with that group of poor people. Even if the conditions couldn't compare to the presidential suite of the Sorkworth Hotel, they couldn't be too bad. Even if it wasn't a presidential suite, at least there had to be two rooms and a large living room, and the kitchen and bathroom had to be complete.

In order to find out where such a house was, Savage first had to enter the Living Hell. But to enter the Living Hell, he had to bypass the thugs patrolling the gangs, or kill them all.

In this way, Savage encountered the same problem as when he broke into the Falcone family's territory before. The gang members here were really too dense.

Cat Getan wasn't a city where gangs protected civilians. It wasn't that a gang controlled an area and then sent a few thugs to patrol here, but that everyone was a gang, but the gangs living here might not be members of the gangs that controlled this place.

The ordinary residents here might be thugs for gangs elsewhere, or they might have undertaken patrol tasks. They wandered around the Living Hell for no reason, which was actually equivalent to patrolling.

Before, when Bruce infiltrated the gangs, he discovered that as long as they had done gatekeeping or patrol tasks, the gang members had very sharp eyes and could easily distinguish who was looking for trouble and who was coming to smash the field.

Due to professional reasons, many residents here had very strong vigilance and also had strong distinguishing ability. Once a stranger appeared, they immediately reported it. Once a stranger wanted to break in, it was basically everyone being a soldier.

The elderly and children couldn't hold guns, but that was limited to the elderly who could almost no longer move and could only lie in bed, and children who couldn't walk well yet and couldn't lift their arms. That is to say, except for these people, everyone would hold guns.

The level of shooting training didn't need to be mentioned. Due to the relatively low average education level in the East District and the relatively low average time of eye use, everyone's eyes were good, and aiming was even more familiar. On the first day Savage went in, he received a very warm welcome.

Savage didn't even know when he was exposed. The people around him suddenly disappeared, and then suddenly appeared on the window. One after another, black gun muzzles were aimed at him. Next was the sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, red flags, and a sea of people.

Savage thought about it and absolutely felt that it might be because he was too conspicuous when he went during the day, so he changed his activity time to the night. But night was Batman's activity time.

Next, Savage finally understood why Batman wanted to wear a black suit.

He wore a colorful ethnic costume, which looked very bright in Cat Getan's exceptionally dark night. Batman wore a pitch-black suit, perfectly blending into the night. When the two were circling over the Living Hell, all the gun muzzles were aimed at Savage.

Diving into the slum area with the largest population in Cat Getan, the result was that his martial arts had nowhere to be displayed. After all, the last organization that broke into here came with green light and left crying.

Cat Getan's gang society had a very big advantage, which was that it could guarantee the martial arts level and determination of individuals and groups. Years of fierce bloody competition had domesticated everyone into beasts that ground their teeth and sucked blood.

When they saw a strange existence breaking into their territory, they almost instinctively picked up weapons to resist. There was never any other thought in their minds. This was their instinct to ensure their own safety and survival in this society, and it wouldn't change because of how strong or weak the opponent was.

When Constantine was drunk in the East District, he also summoned two demons. The demons that would respond to Constantine were usually those that were fierce in appearance but weak in reality, with bad brains but strong bodies. Therefore, they looked very fierce, with green faces and fangs.

The demons came roaring. In less than three minutes, they were slapped more than a hundred times. Before returning to hell, there were two rockets stuck in their heads.

The residents here didn't care what the other party looked like, what abilities they had, or how strong and deterrent they looked.

There were two principles for fighting in Cat Getan. One was that after the war song started, there were no teammates. The second was that as long as you dared to approach the battlefield, even dogs had to be kicked twice before leaving.

Savage tried to break in by force two more times and found that such a strategy really didn't work. The people here were the most barbaric and crazy he had ever seen. They didn't even care if their friendly forces would be injured, they only cared about whether they successfully killed the enemy. As long as the gun rang, the whole city was crazy.

Since the hard way didn't work, he could only try the soft way. He found the leader of the largest gang in the South District of the Living Hell to negotiate.

But very coincidentally, Cobblepot had lived in the South District before and had a good relationship with this gang leader. When Savage broke in, Cobblepot saw it, so he greeted this gang leader.

The gang leader in the South District received Savage very politely, and then ruthlessly rejected his request to rent a house.

Things reached this point, and Savage also discovered that as long as he was in the Living Hell, using force wasn't a wise choice, so he decided to try another one.

The Living Hell itself had four districts: East, South, West, and North. Since the South District didn't work, he changed to the North District. But Savage was changed. The gang leaders in all four districts of East, South, West, and North had the same attitude: politely inviting him in, and then ruthlessly rejecting him.

As for the reason for the rejection, it was also very simple: there was no gang to guarantee you, why should we rent the house to you? You tried to break in several times, who knows what you want to do in the house? What if you blow up the house, blow up the building, who will pay?

Savage finally tasted the feeling Bruce had when he was hitting walls everywhere at the beginning. In Cat Getan, if you have nothing to do with gangs, it is very difficult to live comfortably.

Cat Getan indeed had many migrant workers, because no matter what, the wages here were much higher than in most places. Working here for a year was equivalent to three years outside, so many people were willing to take risks and try.

But in the premise that everyone knew Cat Getan was this kind of situation, the people who came here were relatively adventurous, and their moral bottom line wasn't that high. Therefore, after spending some time working at the bottom, they could often shoulder-to-shoulder with some gang members and be introduced by them to rent houses.

Most of these people were also ordinary people. They wouldn't fight against the gangs when they came here, so it was easy to get familiar with the gangs.

But Savage was different. He relied on his martial arts advantage and was arrogant. When he first came here, he offended all the gangs in the Living Hell. None of the gangs nearby could accept him, which led to him never being able to find an introducer.

Savage wasn't like the later Bruce, who learned the essence of cheating and sneak attacking and could successfully mix into it. He was still dreaming of being a great monarch and wasn't willing to lower his status.

He mixed in the Living Hell for more than a week and still didn't successfully find a house. As long as he dared to go in, it was firepower suppression plus group fighting. He wanted to find someone to talk to, but no one was willing to see him.

Later, it was the leader of a medium-sized gang in the South District who found him. This leader said that he had long been displeased with the leader here and could help him go through the back door. As long as he gave money, he would vacate a room for him to live in.

Reaching this point, it didn't matter what the house was like. The main thing was that he wanted to win.

That leader sent his subordinates to lead Savage to the door of a room. The gang member pushed the door open and said with a smile: "Mr. Savage, this is the best room we have here. You can take a look, the conditions are quite good..."

After saying that, he pushed the door open. Savage looked inside and found that this gang member didn't lie. This room was indeed quite good, two bedrooms and one living room, spacious and bright, the living room faced south, and there was a floor-to-ceiling window.

The furniture and soft furnishings were of good quality, and there were green plants for decoration. It was a very modern apartment room. Although it couldn't compare to the presidential suite of a luxury hotel, it wasn't a disgrace to his status.

The gang member led Savage in, like a skilled real estate agent, repeatedly introducing the benefits of this house. In the end, he rubbed his hands and said: "Sir, this is the only room here that is suitable for you. However, there is a reason why it is left over..."

"You also know that most of the people here are poor. Only a rich and generous gentleman like you can afford such a house. After all, the rent here is 300 dollars a week, and you have to pay for water and electricity yourself. On average, it might be more than 400 dollars a week. This is not a price that ordinary people can afford..."

"But it doesn't matter!" The gang member raised his tone and said: "A generous gentleman like you definitely won't care about this few hundred dollars of expenditure!"

"And, don't worry, you showed up in those areas in the North District before. This place is very far from there. The people here haven't seen you, and this area is also very far from the activity area of the big leader. He won't discover it."

Savage snorted coldly and glanced at him. The gang member immediately smiled and said: "Of course, you are definitely not afraid of him. Our boss also thinks so. If we can carry out some cooperation later, it will be more convenient for you to live here..."

"In order to show our sincerity, we can help you pay for the water and electricity. To tell the truth, this is already our limit. Our boss only came here for a year or so and hasn't stood firm yet. Recruiting people cost a lot of money..."

Savage had no time to listen to him crying poor, waved his hand to let him go out. A few hundred dollars didn't matter to him at all. As long as he could fight out of the interior of the Living Hell, the subsequent things would be easy to handle.

But to some extent, he didn't even have the advantage of Bruce when he first arrived. As long as a person insists on a certain principle and doesn't waver, then whether it is success or failure, he will achieve some results. The most fearful thing is self-contradiction and logical conflict.

Bruce was a good person from beginning to end. He wasn't willing to break his principles and bottom line, so although he suffered a lot in the slums, he finally gained more things.

But Savage, he both wanted to obtain the benefits that could be obtained by those illegal means, and wasn't willing to lower his self-esteem, still dreaming of being a great monarch. He both wanted everyone to flatter him, just like his previous subjects, but wasn't willing to admit that he no longer had his past status.

He looked down on these poor people, but needed these poor people. He looked down on the current modern society, living in the old dreams of the past, but was greedy for the convenience and enjoyment brought by modern society.

A person whose heart cannot be self-consistent will only wander in hesitation until the end. And Savage hadn't realized yet that he had already stepped into the trap.

The glass of water Batman asked him to pour, he poured it without any awareness. And next, it was the favorite part.

On the day Savage moved in and paid the rent, the newsboys in the Living Hell whispered to each other, and the whispering sound kept rising.

Everyone was passing on a piece of information—Room 1613, South District, Living Hell, people are stupid, money is many, come quickly! ===== CHAPTER 848 =====
