Chapter 727
When Zhou Yang went to collect his movie tickets, the surrounding people were buzzing with discussion.
"The Hunger Platform is amazing! I have such high admiration for Zhou Yang!"
"Yes! I was so moved when I saw him establish the Yang Foundation! His character is impeccable!"
"I will absolutely not allow anyone to speak ill of Zhou Yang! My brother Yang is irreplaceable!"
"I've seen the trailer for 'The Platform,' and it looks amazing!"
What movie would you like to see?
"Of course it's 'The Platform,' there's nothing else to watch!"
After Zhou Yang got the ticket, he walked towards Fatty Di.
When Fatty Dilraba saw him coming, she immediately said, "I know you donated 70 billion US dollars! If you need money, I can lend it to you!"
Zhou Yang was somewhat surprised, thinking to himself, "Why do I still need to rely on women's money?"
"Dilraba, thank you for your kindness, but I have plenty of money!"
Fatty D gaped, her expression one of utter shock: "Donating 70 billion US dollars? That's an astronomical figure!"
Zhou Yang smiled slightly, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "To be honest, I make money faster than I spend it."
At the same time, the cinema's loudspeaker came on, announcing that the premiere of "The Platform" would begin in 10 minutes!
Upon hearing the announcement, Zhou Yang immediately pulled Pang Di to the ticket check-in area.
After entering the theater, Zhou Yang looked around and found that the seats were almost all full, with no empty seats at all.
Soon after, the theater lights dimmed, and text began to appear on the screen.
The movie has officially begun!
At the beginning of the film, the scene appears somewhat dark, which quickly draws the audience's attention.
When the male protagonist Glenn wakes up, he is confused and looks around, which makes the audience even more puzzled.
"This is where?"
"Why is the structure here so peculiar?"
What exactly is the purpose of that hole in the middle?
Soon, the audience realized: the hole was used to pass food. Seeing so much food being wasted, many people couldn't help but feel regret.
Soon after, they realized that kindness had vanished in this prison, revealing the dark side of human nature.
Like Glenn, the audience was puzzled: why couldn't the food be distributed reasonably so that both the upper and lower classes could be fed? But they soon realized that this was naive.
The upper class can squander the food of the lower class at will, and even spit and urinate on it.
"Why should the lower classes suffer such treatment, while the upper classes can waste resources at will!"
"Isn't this just like the rich living extravagantly while the poor face hunger in reality?!"
"I suddenly understand Zhou Yang's intention in making this movie!"
"This is outrageous! Is this the darkness of humanity?"
"You can't even stand seeing them spit or urinate?"
"The lower classes have to swallow their food while feeling nauseous? Good heavens!"
"I truly felt the wickedness of society and the ugliness of human nature!"
"..."
Shockingly, there appears to be over 100 more floors below the 48th floor. How could people on so many floors possibly survive?
Food was almost impossible to reach, and through Old Cui's words, the audience slowly realized the horrific truth—cannibalism.
Just then, the elevator descended again, and a woman was sitting on it.
Glenn, played by Zhou Yang, never expected that someone could actually enter this place via a lift. Not only was he surprised, but the audience was also shocked.
Old Cui was already used to this, and said while eating, "Never mind her, eat quickly!" Glenn looked around and couldn't help but wonder why this woman covered in rags was here.
He felt both curiosity and a touch of sympathy for her.
Clearly, Old Cui knew her well; her name was Miharu.
"You know her?" Glenn's question carried a hint of certainty.
“She comes down here once a month to look for her child!” Old Cui replied.
Glenn turned to look at Old Cui, wondering how children could survive in this prison if there really were any.
"Are there children here?" he asked.
Old Cui did not reply and continued to eat.
Who knows? Anyway, this woman never found her child!
Glenn still retained a sliver of humanity, looking at Miharu with a mixture of sympathy and complex emotions.
He tried to comfort the poor woman: "Don't be afraid!"
However, Old Cui glanced at him and muttered under his breath, clearly sensing that Glenn harbored ill intentions.
Indeed, people's view of the world is becoming increasingly bleak.
While wolfing down his food, Old Cui said to Glenn, "You're thinking too simply. This woman doesn't need your comfort."
"Do you know what she does every month?" Old Cui continued.
Glenn looked slightly puzzled and glanced at Old Cui sideways.
"Hehe." After taking a bite, Old Cui said, "Before she comes down, she'll kill her fellow inmates! That will increase her chances of reuniting with her child! Those corpses you saw falling down were probably her fellow inmates!"
Upon hearing Old Cui's words, Glenn looked at the woman in disbelief, his feelings a complex mix of emotions.
Afterwards, Lao Cui confessed the truth.
“We held out on the 132nd floor for eight days. Occasionally, a body fell down and landed on the platform right there, but we didn’t kill anyone!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the platform began to descend. Miharu looked up at Glenn in surprise and sensed a hint of goodwill from him.
Meanwhile, the audience gasped in shock, finding the cannibalism scene truly appalling.
"It was indeed very exciting, but it was out of necessity, just to survive!"
"This is the cruelty of human nature! It's understandable, given the need for survival!"
"Seriously, society is forcing us to work hard!"
"Exciting! There was another twist! No wonder Old Cui seemed like a veteran!"
"Is it that scary? Will the male lead end up like that too?"
"Zhou Yang's acting is really good. He made me feel the reaction of someone who has never seen the dark side of society when they hear these things!"
"..."
But before the audience could recover from their shock, the platform in the movie descended to the next level.
Miharu was still looking up at Glenn, while Glenn was also looking down at her. However, the two men on the next floor pulled her away.
Seeing Miharu struggling desperately, Glenn quickly shouted, "Hey!!"
His voice was filled with anxiety, while Old Cui beside him appeared very calm, "Don't touch her!! You bunch of bastards!"
The audience's hearts leaped into their throats, their only thought being, "Let go of that girl!!"
In this prison, women face a significantly more difficult situation than men, and they are at risk of being assaulted at any time.
Glenn was still shouting, but when Old Trevor told him to jump, he hesitated.
This detail was handled very well, and many viewers realized that even if you have great sympathy for someone, you cannot risk your own safety to help them.
