Chapter 844: Stupid People with Lots of Money, Come Quickly! (Part 1)
Once people enter a 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 would be no high-end hotels and apartment buildings for him to live in. He could actually live in a cave, or find a forest to build a tree house, or even find a vacant space and lie down to sleep.
In the primitive period, there was no problem at all to do this. No one would blame you for sleeping in a cave, but in a civilized society, even the hooligans at the bottom of the slums have bungalows to live in. It would be a bit shabby for the great king Savage to sleep in a cave.
Savage did not think he was a barbarian. He thought he was better than any human being, so of course he could not accept that he was worse off than the lowest people.
This idea restricted him and made him forget that he was not actually a person from a civilized society. There was no need to abide by the rules here. As long as the most basic living conditions were guaranteed, he did not have to care about where he lived.
But such a prosperous and extravagant civilized society corroded his heart from the vast ancient times. Although he felt that he could not lag behind others, in fact, he also enjoyed the luxurious life here.
For this reason, he did not want to live with the group of poor people. Even if the conditions were not as good as those of the Sokworth Hotel, they could not be too bad. Even if it was not a presidential suite, there must be at least two rooms and a large living room, and the kitchen and bathroom must be complete.
In order to find where such a house is, Savage must first enter the living hell, but to enter the fire hell, he must first bypass the gang patrol thugs, or kill them all.
In this way. Savage encountered the same problem as when he broke into the Falconet family's territory before. The gang members here are too dense.
Gotham is not a city where gangs protect civilians, nor is it a gang that dominates an area and then sends a few thugs to patrol here, but everyone is a gang, but the gangs living here may not be members of the gangs that control here.
Ordinary residents here may have been thugs in other gangs, or have been on patrol. They wander around the living hell when they have nothing to do, which is actually equivalent to patrolling.
When Bruce sneaked into the gang before, he found that all gang members who had done gatekeeping or patrolling tasks had sharp eyes and could easily distinguish who was looking for trouble and who was coming to mess up.
Due to their occupations, many residents here are very vigilant and have strong discrimination ability. Once a stranger appears, they will report it immediately. Once a stranger wants to break in, basically everyone will be a soldier.
The elderly and children cannot hold guns, but that is limited to the elderly who can hardly move and can only lie in bed, and children who can't walk or raise their arms. In other words, except for these people, everyone can hold guns.
Needless to say, the level of shooting training is not to mention. Since the average education level in the East District is relatively low, the average time of using eyes per capita is also relatively low. Everyone has good eyesight and is familiar with aiming. Savage received a very warm welcome on the first day he entered.
Savage didn't even know when he was exposed. The people around him suddenly disappeared, and then suddenly appeared in the window. One after another, the black muzzles of guns were pointed at him. Then there were loud drums, firecrackers, red flags, and a sea of people.
Savage thought about it and felt that it might be too conspicuous to go there during the day, so he changed the activity time to the evening, but the evening was Batman's activity time.
Then, Savage understood why Batman wore all black.
He wore a colorful national costume, which was very eye-catching in the particularly dark night of Gotham. Batman wore a pitch-black outfit, which perfectly blended into the night. When the two circled over the living hell, all the muzzles were aimed at Savage.
Diving into the most populous slum area in Gotham, the result was that there was no place to display his martial arts. After all, the last organization that broke into here came with green light and left in tears.
One of the great advantages of Gotham's gang society is that it can ensure the level of force and determination of individuals and groups to use force. The fierce bloody competition all year round has domesticated everyone into a beast that grinds teeth and sucks blood.
When they see a strange existence breaking into their territory, they almost instinctively pick up weapons and start to fight. There is never any other thought in their minds. This is their instinct to ensure their safety and survival in this society, and it does not change with the strength of the opponent.
When Constantine was drunk in the East District, he also summoned two demons. The demons that would respond to Constantine are often the kind of people who are fierce on the outside but weak on the inside, with bad brains but strong physiques, so they look very ferocious, with green faces and fangs.
The demon came roaring, and in less than three minutes, he was beaten by more than a hundred big fights. Before returning to hell, there were two rockets stuck in his head.
The residents here don't care what the other party looks like, what abilities they have, how powerful they look, and how deterrent they are.
There are two principles in Gotham's fights. One is that after the war song starts, there will be no teammates. The second is that if you dare to approach the battlefield, even the dog will be kicked twice before you can leave.
After Savage tried to break in twice more, he found that this strategy really didn't work. The people here were the most savage and crazy people he had ever seen. They didn't even care whether friendly troops would be injured, they only cared about whether they succeeded. Kill the enemy with just one gunshot and the whole city will go crazy.

Since hard work was no longer enough, he had no choice but to be soft. He approached the boss of the largest gang in the Southern District of Living Hell to negotiate.
Coincidentally, Copot also lived in the South District before and had a good relationship with the gang boss. When Savage broke in, Copot saw him and started fighting with the gang boss. Say hello.
The gang boss in the South District received Savage very politely, and then ruthlessly rejected his request to rent a house.
When things got to this point, Savage also discovered that as long as he was in a living hell, using force was not a wise choice, so he planned to try another company.
The living hell itself has four districts: southeast, northwest and northwest. Since the south district is not good, then switch to the north district. But with the Savage incident, all the gang bosses in the four districts have the same attitude and politely invite him in. , and then ruthlessly refused.
The reason for rejection is also very simple. If there is no gang to guarantee you, why should we rent the house to you? You tried to break in several times. Who knows what you were going to do in the house? If a house is damaged or a building collapses, who will pay?
Savage finally understood how Bruce felt when he hit a brick wall. In Gotham, if you have nothing to do with the gang, it would be difficult to live comfortably.
There are indeed many migrant workers in Gotham, because after all, the wages here are much higher than in most places. One year of working here is equivalent to three years outside, so many people are willing to take the risk.
However, everyone knows that this is the case in Gotham. People who come here are more adventurous and their moral bottom line is not that high. Therefore, after working at the bottom of the workplace for a period of time, they can often get along with some gang members. By hooking up with each other, you can get introduced by them and rent a house.
Most of these people are ordinary people and will not come here to confront gangs, so they can easily become familiar with gangs.
But Savage is different. He relies on his superiority in force and his arrogance. When he first came here, he offended all the gangs in the living hell. It is impossible for any gang in the area to accept him. As a result, he could never find an introducer.
Savage was not like Bruce later, who had learned the essence of deception and sneak attack and was able to successfully sneak into it. He was still dreaming of a great king and was unwilling to condescend.
He spent more than a week in the living hell, but still failed to find a house. As long as he dared to go in, there would be fire suppression and group beatings. He wanted to talk to someone, but no one was willing to see him.
Later, the leader of a medium-sized gang in the South District approached him. The leader said that he had long disliked the boss here and could help him find a back door. As long as he gave him money, he would free up a house for him to live in. .
At this point, it no longer matters what the house looks like, the main thing is to win.
The leader sent his men to lead Savage to the door of a room. The gang member opened the door and said with a smile: "Mr. Savage, this is the best room we have here. You can take a look." Look, the conditions are quite good..."
After saying that, he opened the door, and Savage took a look inside and found that the gang member was not lying. The house was indeed pretty good, with two bedrooms and one living room, spacious and bright, the living room faced south, and there was a floor-to-ceiling window.
The soft furnishings are of good quality, and there are green plants for decoration. It is a very modern apartment room. Although it is not as luxurious as the presidential suite of a hotel, it does not insult its status.
The gang member led Savage inside, and like a skilled real estate agent, he repeatedly introduced the benefits of this house. In the end, he rubbed his hands and said, "Sir, this is the only house we have that is suitable." Your house is gone, but there is a reason why it remains..."
"You also know that most of us are poor here. Only a rich and generous gentleman like you can afford to rent a house like this. After all, the rent here is 300 US dollars a week, and you have to pay the water and electricity bills yourself. On average, it may cost 400 US dollars a week. A lot of dollars, this is not a price that ordinary people can afford..."
"But it doesn't matter!" The gang member raised his voice and said, "A gentleman as wealthy as you will definitely not care about the cost of these hundreds of dollars!"
"And, don't worry, you have appeared in those areas in the North District before. This place is very far away from there, and no one here has seen you. Moreover, this area is also very far away from the big boss's activity area. He doesn't Will find out.”
Savage snorted coldly and glanced at him. The gang member immediately smiled and said: "Of course, you are not afraid of him. Our leader thinks so too. If we can carry out some cooperation in the future, you will live in It’s also more convenient here…”
"In order to show our sincerity, we can help you pay the water and electricity bills. To be honest, this is already our limit. Our leader has only been here for more than a year and has not yet fully established himself. It is expensive to recruit people. A lot of money was spent..."
Savage had no time to listen to him cry about poverty and waved his hand to let him out. A few hundred dollars was nothing to him. As long as he could break out of the living hell, the next thing would be easy to handle.
But to some extent, he didn't even have the advantage of Bruce, who had just arrived. As long as a person sticks to a certain principle, he will always achieve some results regardless of success or failure. The most feared thing is self-contradiction and logical conflict.
Bruce was a good man from beginning to end. He was unwilling to break his bottom line of principles, so although he suffered a lot in the slums, he finally gained more.
But Savage wanted to obtain the benefits that could be obtained by illegal means, but he was unwilling to lower his self-esteem. He was still dreaming of being a great king. He wanted everyone to flatter him, just like his previous subjects, but he was unwilling to admit that he no longer had the status of the past.
He looked down on these poor people, but he needed them. He looked down on the modern society today, lived in the old dreams of the past, but he was greedy for the convenience and enjoyment that modern society brought him.
A person who cannot be self-consistent will only wander in hesitation all day long, and Savage has not yet realized that he has stepped into the trap.
He poured the glass of water that Batman asked him to pour without noticing, and then came the part that everyone loves to see.
On the day when Savage moved in and paid the rent, the newsboys in the living hell were whispering to each other.
Everyone was conveying a message - Room 1613, South District, Living Hell, stupid people, rich people, come quickly!
