"In such soil, it's no wonder a rebellion has sprouted, with residence taxes even reaching these people. How can they survive without rebelling?" Li Yi thought silently as he watched them.
Sewers extend in all directions, but not every place is suitable for living. Some areas are dangerous with industrial wastewater and toxic gases, which must be avoided. Additionally, some areas often have large quantities of sewage discharged and cannot be stayed in. Finding a suitable place to settle here is not easy; it not only requires ample knowledge of the area but also quick action. Once someone else claims a spot, you can only look elsewhere.
Ke Ni's home is set up at the end of a sewer. She hangs a small bed on the wall and has constructed a platform using steel plates, on which she places various household items, as well as some unsold parts.
"This is my home now," Ke Ni declared proudly. "It's the best spot in the area, found after moving five times."
Li Yi looked around and agreed.
