And because the industrial district churned out nothing but junk, and the Whirlpool Gang were a bunch of savage, crazy lunatics, even the underworld of the Underground City looked down on this place, with no intention of investing, so high-end indulgences like yellow gambling and drugs were scarce.
As for the limited deep web ports left in the industrial area, most were controlled by the Whirlpool Gang. Most people could only take drugs, watch Super Dream, drink alcohol, have sex, join gangs to rob, or simply kill each other to satisfy their empty spirits.
Of course, the Whirlpool Gang wasn't any better, just unemployed local workers sticking together to rob. They occasionally had to deal with raids by the NCPA, so they didn't exploit and oppress the locals as much.
But if an ordinary person pissed them off, they'd likely end up having their kidneys gouged out, waist chopped, skin peeled, or hung from a streetlight.
