"Jiuge was not created by the state government before the cataclysm; it was initially formed by survivors from Funan, a nation bordering China, and established there. It included no officials, only drug traffickers from before the Apocalypse with armed forces, which is why it could develop to its current state."
"Drug traffickers?"
Tang Ye was stunned. He certainly knew what drug traffickers were—those who sold drugs. Drugs were harmful to both users and sellers; these people were quite detestable. However, Tang Ye hadn't bothered to learn much about drug traffickers, simply aware of their existence, but he never imagined that they would have armed forces. Wasn't that a bit too unbelievable?
"Yes, drug traffickers."
"These drug traffickers had armed forces even before the Apocalypse?"
"Huh?"
Xu Haishui gave Tang Ye a strange look, while Ah Fu had no idea what they were talking about.
