Ao Yong thought he was in a dilemma, because he was poor, in this strange and cruel city, embarrassed and helpless between life and death.
The distress on Han Qingyu's face as he took out the source energy block unconsciously appeared on his face, making Ao Yong feel that they were pitiful.
"And it's night now. Do we really want to watch our fellow villagers die on the streets on the first day they arrive?"
If they were left alone and they were out on the streets tonight, they would almost certainly be attacked. Ao Yong thought for a while.
Before Han Qingyu spoke, he took the initiative to slide down from the roof of the car, hanging on one hand, and knocked on the cab window with the other, and said inside:
"Brother Daofeng, please stop the car. I have something to discuss with you."
The truck stopped and the two got out and ran to the side to discuss.
Putting the device into sleep pre-release state, Han Qingyu and the others waited quietly for a while until they came back. Qian Daofeng sat back in the cab and restarted the car.
Ao Yong jumped back onto the roof of the car.
"In this case, neither of us can bring out the source energy blocks to help you with hotel expenses, so you can only go to our place to stay for a few...two days."
In fact, at this time, the source energy devices on Ao Yong and Qian Daofeng were also in a dormant state. In this way, the source energy block will be consumed very slowly, but it still makes the brothers extremely distressed.
A few people on the roof of the car looked at each other and decided to save some money if they could, and it should be easier to adapt to this place... They said: "Thank you."
The heavy truck turned left, turned a corner, and drove towards the edge of the city.
So, they live on the outskirts of the city.
Based on their current observations and understanding of the situation, Han Qingyu and Wen Jifei feel that Ao Yong and Qian Daofeng are probably not doing very well, so their house should be very poor, dilapidated or even very small. It is probably difficult to fit in so much. people……
What they accept is this goodwill, or it may be the evil hidden behind the goodwill. In short, consider it the first step to touch this city.
…………
When we got off the bus, a group of people were stunned for a moment.
"Here?!" He Tangtang asked in an exaggerated tone, pointing to the nice-looking three-story building in front of him.
"Yeah." Ao Yong nodded, as if he had seen through He Tangtang's psychology, smiled and said proactively: "Actually, there is no shortage of houses here. When you see a house with no one coming in or out for several days, its owner may have died. It's outside, you can try to move in. Or if someone dies in the house, you can move the body out, wipe it clean, and then you can live in it."
"By the way, every house here is a haunted house. Every one." Ao Yong said again, looking as serious as possible.
He Tangtang: "That's easy to handle. Let's go out tomorrow..."
Ao Yong looked at him. From the bottom of his heart, he also hoped that these people in front of him could move out as soon as possible after tonight, so as not to be left behind, but...
"Actually, it's not that simple. I haven't finished talking yet." He said: "Here, if someone takes a fancy to where you live and wants you to move out, you have to move out immediately...otherwise you may die. And if you accidentally move into an owner’s house, you will probably die too.”
Han Qingyu nodded.
He Tangtang on the side said in an exaggerated tone: "So you two are so strong?!"
Logically speaking, there was no problem with his reasoning, because they looked over and saw that the house owned by Qian Daofeng and Ao Yong, even if placed in the entire Injustice City, was at least close to the middle level. And there were only two of them.
"No, we..." Ao Yong said halfway.
Qian Daofeng came over and interrupted: "It's just average."
"General" is a very neutral word, and it may mean really average, but in the Chinese-Asian context, it more often means modesty.
Qian Daofeng glanced at Ao Yong calmly, turned around and said:
"I have simply arranged the room. You will live on the first floor. Then we will live on the third floor. The faucets and toilets are in the house. If you have nothing to do at night, remember not to go out or move around."
The meaning of these words is actually very obvious. Qian Daofeng and Ao Yong took them in, but that doesn't mean they give up their vigilance. They are clarifying the rules and protecting themselves.
He Tangtang didn't seem to pay attention at all and continued his logic: "Then since you are so strong, why..." Turning around and motioning to the garbage truck that was emitting a stench along the way, He Tangtang said: "Why do you do this? ah?"
The way he asked made him seem abrupt and reckless. Only his own people know that he is always pretending to be reckless most of the time.
In fact, when Ao Yong and Qian Daofeng showed their wariness, how could Han Qingyu and his party be completely reassured when they were new to the area?
Many times, when He Tangtang asked blindly like this, Wen Jifei was making observations and judgments.
"Cleaner?" Qian Daofeng said and smiled. This time the smile was not perfunctory or forced at all: "Actually, this is a very good job, and it is also difficult to get."
"Um?"
"All people in public service positions in Injustice City, such as water, electricity, cleaning... are protected. Of course it is not completely protected, but at least it is much safer than ordinary people. No one dares to kill us at will. If we are found out, When the time comes, [Assassination of God] will come forward to deal with it.”
After Qian Daofeng finished speaking, his eyes looked directly at the people in front of him. Look at each other one by one. He was further warning them.
"Oh, what is plotting to assassinate God?" Han Qingyu asked.
"...The killer list." Qian Daofeng twisted himself back and said: "They call it Kill God in English. We Chinese Asians translate it a little more euphemistically and call it Kill God."
Han Qingyu nodded, "I understand, thank you."
So there is still order in this city, their own, a special order under cruelty. The reason why Qian Daofeng and Ao Yong can live in such a house is probably because of their public service status.
"Okay, let's stop talking here and go inside."
After Qian Daofeng finished speaking, he led people in, closed the door, locked it, and tied a string of bells.
Then he briefly explained the location of the room and toilet, and called Aoyong to go to the third floor and never show up again.
…………
The luggage and wooden box are placed next to the bed, and the device is worn on the body, under the clothes. The first night that Han Qingyu and others came to the Injustice City passed peacefully. Two of the seven people took turns keeping watch every hour, while the rest rested and adjusted.
It was already noon when he woke up the next day. He always tried to sleep as much as possible recently, hoping to shed his skin quickly when he woke up.
Ao Yong and Qian Daofeng were not at home at work, only Wen Jifei and the others were there.
"How is it?" Han Qingyu asked while washing his face under the faucet.
"I listened to Xiaoyong and Daofeng, so I didn't dare to run around, so I went out with Wu Shi and made some inquiries around the area."
Wen Jifei took He Tangtang's cigarette and lit one, sat down and told some of what he knew.
Overall, still clueless.
After a while, during lunch time, Ao Yong and Qian Daofeng came back and brought food. Except Han Qingyu and Xi Mei didn't eat breakfast, they also bought it after going out.
"In that case, we might as well go back and give them the two source energy blocks as money for food and accommodation." Thinking a little distressed, but planning to stay for a few more days, Han Qingyu made a decision and asked while eating:
"By the way, how is your income?"
So they still know how to ask? Ao Yong and Qian Daofeng looked at each other, and they were both a little moved and said, "We don't have much money, so we can't buy much. We mainly care about food and accommodation, and food... is very expensive."
Han Qingyu: "Aren't you going to emit the source energy block?"
Ao Yong choked for a moment. I said food is very expensive, very expensive. Didn't you hear me? ! After taking a moment, he said: "Let's just wait and see..."
This topic was brought to the point, and Ao Yong talked about it for more than ten minutes.
After Han Qingyu listened, he suddenly understood a lot of things that he didn't understand before.
The most important part is naturally about the source energy block. It turns out that the reason why Injustice City was able to gain a foothold in the source energy world, or in other words the reason why it was built here, was because this area was actually the area where big-pointed spaceships landed most frequently in human history.
The exiled people live, fight, and die here, or get supplies of source energy and dead iron to become stronger.
Harvest one layer at a time.
"Usually when the spaceship comes down, the major forces rob it. Then every year, the God of Assassination will give us public servants, such as the two of us, a shuttle-shaped aircraft as a source of energy reward. And we can't destroy it ourselves. We have to go out and find someone to help fight... Maybe in the end, there will be two or three yuan left." Ao Yong paused, straightened his chest and said, "Of course, we did it ourselves."
He Tangtang opened his mouth, glanced at Han Qingyu, and then shut up without making a sound.
"So that's it." Han Qingyu didn't say much, lowering his head as if thinking about something.
