Chapter 220. City of Water
I slowly reduced the boat’s speed and docked at C Mart.
A few people from the mart came over, carrying ropes and a ladder.
“You’ve arrived.”
“Yes. What’s the situation here?”
“Someone on night watch saw fish last night. So we were trying to fish.”
The people at C Mart had already finished preparing to move. They said they had nothing else to do while waiting for us, so they were checking if there were really fish in the water.
“There might be fish that flowed in from the river.”
“Yes. If we actually catch some, it could be a great source of food.”
While I was talking to the Ark Annihilation Alliance man, who was essentially C Mart’s representative, people began to board the boat one by one. They seemed curious about the boat’s changed appearance. Several women showed interest in the bow cover and gear box. With no exciting events to occupy them, people paid attention to even minor changes around them.
Before the world ended, after high-spec Cell Phones became widespread, people were often seen with their heads bowed everywhere they went. Even in this transformation, I felt how much had truly shifted.
“Then, we’ll be going.”
“Please be careful. Drive safely.”
Today, the goal was to diligently move all the C Mart people to the Department Store by the afternoon. And just like H Mart, most of the people staying at C Mart were women. This was because the Ark Faction had mostly imprisoned women, treating them like beasts. The captured women were primarily treated as objects for sexual gratification by the Ark’s executives and devotees. They were subjected to all sorts of perverted acts, in addition to being used as playthings for sexual release. If they became pregnant or developed physical problems, they were reportedly given a small amount of Talent as compensation.
