"I wouldn't have known if I hadn't asked. There are actually quite a few people like that in Buliu City," Zhu Xiaojin said. "Buliu City is still trading with other cities. To cut costs, some Players have set aside parts of their city land as dedicated growing bases. Buliu City is so large that, in theory, anyone who isn't completely without any means of making a living should be able to find something to eat. The city isn't very developed, after all, and a lot of things still rely on manual labor."
"But they definitely can't live very well, so some people have started targeting their own kind."
The man they had caught looked furious. "What would you know? If we could stay alive any other way, who'd want to eat people? Since you Players arrived, you've either been killing people or exploiting ordinary folks like us. We can't even get enough to eat, let alone eat well. Some people have even starved to death. If I don't kill people, what else can I do?!"
"You're right." Xu Huo had already entered the man's information. "You may have had no other choice, but I have legitimate grounds to arrest you."
"Give him something to keep him quiet. Lock him up for now, and kill him once the wanted notice comes through."
Zhu Xiaojin nodded. When the man tried to argue again, he simply dislocated his jaw before dragging him away.
The others brought back had all been caught with concrete evidence against them. To ensure the procedure was complete, none of them were killed; they were all locked up.
While waiting for the city government's wanted notices, Xu Huo went out for another walk, trying to expand the area he had unlocked. But there were so many active Players today
