Chapter 269 The world of full-time hunters
Meteor Street is located in the southern part of the Ulbian continent. This is a forgotten city that has become a garbage collection place as early as about 1,500 years ago.
People born here cannot find any information at all in the outside world. Chaos is everywhere, and it is an extremely primitive jungle law and order.
The weak obeyed the strong, surrendered most of what they harvested every day, and then exchanged it for food that could only sustain them forever.
For example, bread that has gone rancid, or water that is not so clean but is drinkable.
According to outside rumors, this is a place where everything can be discarded, weapons, babies, corpses...
The people living here are roughly the same as the beasts.
Until the man named Chulolo Rusilu appeared. He tried to make the world accept this excluded city, but what he got was an extremely cruel result.
No matter how hard they try, the people in Meteor Street are still another species to those outside, which is why the Phantom Troupe was later established.
Unfortunately, Meteor Street is still Meteor Street and nothing will change.

…
"Wake up, wake up quickly!"
Amber opened her eyes during the shaking, and then saw the little girl who kept calling her, her name was Yali. The relationship between the two was between a competitor and a companion.
"I thought you were starving to death. It's already very late today. If we don't bring enough food to Dirk, we will definitely be kicked out of this neighborhood."
Due to physical reasons, Yali can only carry some very light things and moves very slowly, but she has an advantage, that is, her hearing is very keen and she can detect someone approaching from a long distance.
Before entering the space, Amber had always relied on her warning to avoid the robbery of the looters every time, and the thing she had to pay was to provide her with a certain amount of items and turn them over.
As for Dirk.
He was the boss of the nearby area. He owned a lot of heavy-duty firearms and had dozens of thugs under his command. He controlled ordinary people without weapons to collect various metals, and then traded with gangs outside to obtain supplies. A very deformed cycle.
Amber and Yali are controlled members. If the amount they turn in every day does not reach the target, they will not get food.
The same is true in most other places, so there is no possibility of escape.
If children like them grow up, they will either be recruited by the leader as thugs, or they will be exploited until death.
"Do you remember where Dirk's station is?"
Amber asked suddenly, and at the same time stood up from the ground where there was only cardboard.
Yali suddenly felt in a trance. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that the guy in front of her seemed completely different.
"Remember, it's the biggest shack on the east side."
"oh."
Amber nodded and walked outside.
Yali looked confused, but she quickly followed.
"The place we found yesterday has not been fully explored. If we are lucky, there may even be video tapes and the like."
It was a little difficult for her to follow, and her face became paler, but her eyes shone with anticipation, "I heard that there are very beautiful things in the video tape. It would be great if we could pick it up."
"You probably don't have such good luck."
Amber responded casually, but after walking for a while, he suddenly realized something was wrong, "Hey, which direction is the east?"
"Alas?!"
Yali's eyes widened in an instant, "What do you want to do? The place we are going to is the north. If you get close to Leader Dirk, you will be whipped!"
"Haha, if you are afraid, you can go back and wait."
Amber smiled and waved her hand, "Don't go out today."
"asshole!"
Yali was a little angry, "Are you thinking about me stocking up on food? Don't even think about it! You ate more than half of it last time, and there's not much left."
This little girl is a bit like a hamster. Every time she gets food, she will hide it carefully and eat it slowly.
Among them, things that can be stored for a long time should not be touched unless absolutely necessary.
"Will not."
Amber answered softly, but thinking that she might not be convincing enough, she emphasized her tone, "Not this time."
"Then tell me why you want to find Chief Dirk."
Yali put her hands on her hips, as if she was breaking the casserole and asking the question.
"Give him a little surprise, good things will come of it."
Amber thought for a moment and gave her answer.
"real?"
Yali was doubtful.
"Of course it's real, more real than real gold."
Amber nodded affirmatively.
"You keep walking along this way and you'll see it soon. I'll go back and wait for you."
The cruel living environment made Yali very sensitive. She would never get involved in anything that had nothing to do with herself, no matter how curious she was.
"Thanks."
Amber immediately quickened her pace and walked in the direction she pointed.
Yali looked at his retreating back, and for some reason, the feeling became stronger.
This guy seems really different.
Shaking her head, she returned to the nest between the two of them.
This is a very narrow and cramped space, located next to a garbage mountain. Some simple wooden boards and iron bars form a shelter that can barely keep out the wind and rain.
On the other side, Amber quickly found the shack that Yali mentioned.
Compared to their place, this one not only has lights, faucets, and even a toilet.
Luxury...it's so luxurious.
He quickly approached, but was immediately spotted by a thug.
"Amber, you know what will happen if you continue."
"I want to see the leader, I picked up something good."
Amber held her pocket, looking wary.
He actually wants to fight his way in, but compared to other worlds, the awakening of power here is a bit troublesome. The ability to read comes from Qi. If no one teaches it, it will be a treasure house without a key.
Coupled with the restrictions of the rules, what can be used now is the combat experience in the mind and the body that has been strengthened countless times.
The reason why he was so careful was because he was worried that Dirk would run away if the situation was bad, which would cause a lot of trouble if he chased him again, and it would easily lead to complications.
"nice one?"
The thug glanced at his pocket, showing a bit of greed.
"If you dare to grab it, I will scream immediately."
Amber took a step back.
"Whoever wants your stuff, come with me."
This person still gave up his plan to do it, because in comparison, the rewards were not proportional to the efforts.
So, Amber followed smoothly into the place where Dirk was resting.
And just after he entered, on a mountain made of garbage not far away, two men, one tall and one short, looked at each other with memories.
"This kid just now looked like me when I was a kid."
"There has to be a limit to being shameless. Wojin, you weren't so smart when you were a kid."
"Huh, that's better than you."
These two people were Wo Jin and Nobunaga who came back to Meteor Street to do business.
He was also one of the veterans of the Phantom Troupe when it was first formed.
