The eye-catching red words on Platform 444 made Borsalino a little dazed. He didn't quite understand why he chose to get off here.

The style of the platform here is somewhat different from the scene depicted on Gwen's paper. It is not as dilapidated as before and can be considered a relatively normal operating station.

Barry jumped off the platform before the other two. After walking onto the track, he raised his hand and pointed to the entrance of a tunnel. "Go a little further and you will see the tunnel we are looking for. It's on this line."

Following the direction of his finger, they looked at the dark tunnel entrance. The lights on the platform could not illuminate that place, and the darkness seemed to be able to swallow up all three of them. However, they still had to walk on the tracks and take the risk to go there.

Barry walked in front with a flashlight to lead the way, Gwen walked in the middle following the footsteps of the male fans, and Borsalino walked behind the last line of defense.

The three-person team walked in the dark tunnel for a long time and still had not reached the designated location. "That metal car running underground just passed by. Didn't the driver have time to rest?"

The subway is run on some kind of electricity resource. There are drivers specially recruited by the Empire who are responsible for driving after multiple trainings. At first, the subway has rest time and the cars will stop in place to facilitate inspection and maintenance.

Human drivers will experience wear and tear, not to mention that these metals are in operation every day. If they are not checked regularly, the metal parts on the car will wear to a certain extent, and there is a high probability that major traffic accidents will occur. There have been cases of this in the history of the empire.

"It's not that they don't want to stop and rest, but they dare not stop and rest. Once they stop somewhere and don't move, that place will become a gathering place for homeless people." Gwen has seen these cases in newspapers and books. Since she has nothing to do, the school beauty has taught the wretched uncle some common sense about the science empire.

The central city of the empire is located on the red soil continent. Through the efforts of the first generation of scientists, they have made breakthroughs in the two scientific processes of soilless cultivation and seawater desalination, solving the problem of food and water on the red soil continent.

As the empire gradually expanded, magnificent cities began to be built one after another on the red earth continent. In addition to communication between these cities on the ground, tunnels were also dug underground to connect them.

After hundreds of years of rule by the Empire, the underground world has become increasingly rich. Bankrupts, criminals, and homeless people have become frequent visitors to the underground tunnels. Those who cannot afford buildings on the ground make their homes in the tunnels. Some even live in the underground world for several generations, losing the qualifications to live as ratmen.

Barry spoke first and added: "Due to defects in the design and construction at the time, many underground tunnels were abandoned after being only half-built, and some platforms were even abandoned entirely. Of course, there were others who filled in where the Empire gave up."

Many of the original homeless people settled down in these abandoned underground tunnels. The worst thing was that these abandoned tunnels were connected to the generally usable tunnels.

Just like the trio today, if they walk a distance, they can find abandoned tunnels and abandoned platforms. Groups of homeless people gradually breed gangs and begin to try to control a certain section of the subway. For this reason, bloody conflicts often occur in the underground world.

In order to fight for territory and population, gangs annexed and killed each other. Every firefight would result in hundreds of casualties. The worst one was a gang hostile to the Joker Gang, which was wiped out overnight. Thousands of gang members were killed, shaking the imperial entity on earth.

But the expected wrath of thunder did not come, and the Joker Gang is still alive and well in this underground world, making black money by selling little red pills. The money laundering business on the ground is also very prosperous, providing stable tax revenue for the empire.

For some of the homeless, elderly, sick and disabled, the gangs have no obligation to take care of them, and their original homes have been occupied, so they have no choice but to sleep in the subway cars.

The subway, which is always running, will bring the homeless to a new place, to an area controlled by another gang. There is a high probability that these poor people will be driven off the train, not allowing them to occupy seats and pollute the subway with their breath.

This group of homeless people can get enough food to keep them warm and full once a day from the empire’s relief center. The empire is barely able to prevent these useless people from starving to death, and this is the last bit of warmth the empire can give them.

Listening to the two young men talking about the dark side of the empire, their voices even rose when they got excited and their emotions were very high, it turned out that they also had a cynical side.

"The empire has existed for hundreds of years, and there are some rules and codes that have not changed since its inception. This has caused the empire's management to become increasingly rigid and unable to see the suffering of the people at the bottom." Barry couldn't help but sigh when talking about suffering. He was both a victim and a beneficiary of the empire's laws.

The Empire allowed Barry to study in college, while also imprisoning his murderous father for life. The Empire's rule has both good and bad sides, and its existence can only be recognized by the people under its rule.

Borsalino is not as sentimental as the two young men. He believes that although the current empire has various drawbacks, it still has an internal operational logic that allows ordinary people to survive even if they lose their dignity. Only by living can one have a future.

In an era when pirates are rampant, the order provided by the Celestial Dragons and the World Government is nothing but a parasitic system that only exploits and vampires the other people on the sea. It is impossible to win over other people by offering a little profit, and it is more painful to lose a bite of food than to kill the Celestial Dragons.

The admiral of the navy was not the admiral of the navy from the beginning. Borsalino was young and vulnerable at a time, and during a period of time when he had no strength and ability to protect himself, he personally witnessed the massacre of a small town by a pirate group.

They are just a bunch of lunatics who kill without blinking an eye. Wherever they go, they are like a swarm of locusts. They will not let go of any living creature that they can eat and consume. As predators, they often kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, forcing some producers to go to sea and become pirates.

"It is better to have order than to have no order. In my opinion, gangsters are friendlier than pirates. They only seek money and don't easily kill people."

Gwen couldn't help but roll her eyes at the wretched uncle's words. The other party was discussing the issue of pirates again. Pirates have disappeared for many years, and now gangs are the stubborn disease of the empire.

If all the gangs in the underground world were wiped out, perhaps there would be less evil in this world and more truth, goodness and beauty worth pursuing.

Gwen couldn't imagine how her best friend would be tortured by the Joker Gang after being abducted by the gang. Even if she could be rescued this time, at least half of her life would be lost.

Spider-Woman finally stood near the tunnel entrance that her spider sense had drawn. The turbulent underground world was about to unfold before the three of them.
