Lu Ban and Stone walked down the streets of Sunset Town.
To call it a street was an exaggeration; it was merely a muddy path. The humidity was heavy in the forest, and the ground was perpetually damp, intermixed with cow dung, human excrement, and all sorts of filth imaginable and unimaginable.
Stone covered his nose, observing the people on the street. Most were gaunt and appeared undernourished, clearly suffering from severe malnutrition. Their eyes were ringed with deep, dark circles. Fatigue and despondency were the dominant themes here.
Even more noteworthy was the look in these people's eyes.
Some, though ragged, could not conceal the gleam of ambition in their eyes, but the majority in Sunset Town had a numb expression—as if nothing could stir any passion in their hearts.
