Chapter 142: The Mining District Sealed for a Thousand Years
Yun County was divided into four zones centered on the great mine pit.
These were the Mining District, the Inner City, the Outer City, and the Garrison Zone.
The most densely populated area was the Inner City. Beyond it lay the desolate Outer City.
The zone running along the steel walls and surrounding fortified structures was the Garrison Zone.
Ordinary households wouldn't typically have maps laid out for studying administrative boundaries, and the relevant records existed only in the county office archives.
The difference between the Mining District and the Inner City was no less stark than the difference between the Inner City and the Outer City.

The entire district looked like a city cast from iron. Rust-covered steel structures stood everywhere he looked. The streets were lined with factories torn apart and scattered to pieces, and through the wreckage one could still make out the faint traces of machinery, boilers, and smokestacks.
But compared to the truly barren and abandoned Outer City, the Mining District had not fallen entirely into silence.
