Chapter 421 Identity Proof
"Of course it's food. Winter is coming soon, and the roads will be blocked by then. If we don't stock up on food, we won't be able to survive the long winter," the truck driver said.
"food?"
Xiao Ye glanced at the sunny sky outside. There was a tendency to spend the winter there. The sun was clearly burning like fire.
But he didn't know much about this world, so he didn't say much.
The whole journey was silent, Xiao Ye was deep in thought, and the truck driver was obviously not a talkative person.
The big truck staggered to a stop in front of a large building. Xiao Ye took a look and found that it was a grain storage base with grain trucks coming and going around it.
"You can only go here. You can't enter the city without identification." After the truck stopped, the truck driver said.
Xiao Ye didn't speak, quietly waiting for the truck driver to proceed. The truck driver had charged him so much money, so it was impossible to just bring him here and be done with it.
"At this address, find this person and tell him that I, Mr. Wang, brought him here. He will know how to do this." The driver pulled out a piece of paper from the truck and wrote an address.
Xiao Ye took the note, glanced at it, and then put it away: "This person should not be in the city, otherwise how can I find him?"
"Of course, we can do this. Of course we have taken this situation into consideration. There is a gathering place around here. You can find him wherever you go." The driver shrugged.
"Okay." Xiao Ye nodded.
"The gathering place is to the east, don't go in the wrong direction." Fearing that Xiao Ye would go in the wrong direction, the driver quickly shouted to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye waved with his back to him.
"Another income." The driver looked at Xiao Ye's leaving figure and laughed inexplicably.
Xiao Ye walked east for a while and finally saw the gathering place mentioned by the truck driver.
"Liu Zhi..." Xiao Ye took out the paper and confirmed it again.
Xiao Ye asked around the gathering place for a while and found the factory where Liu Zhi was working without any difficulty.
This Liu Zhi seemed to be well-known in this gathering place. Xiao Ye just said his name and someone immediately showed him the way.
"Dong dong dong." Xiao Ye knocked on the door of the factory.
"Who is it?" A tired voice came from the factory.
"Lao Wang asked me to come." Xiao Ye followed the truck driver's words and spoke towards the door.
After hearing Xiao Ye's words, the people inside were obviously silent. After a moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and then the factory door was opened.
"Come in." The person who opened the door was an old man wearing factory clothes. He looked outside the factory for a few times and then let Xiao Ye enter the factory.
Entering the factory, Xiao Ye did not smell the mechanical smell he imagined, but instead smelled an indescribable smell. It was strange that such a large factory was actually empty in his perception.
The old man led Xiao Ye slowly towards the inside of the factory. He didn't say anything along the way. Xiao Ye followed silently, but he felt more and more strange.
This old man doesn't seem like a good person.
"Why haven't you fainted yet?" Suddenly, Xiao Ye seemed to hear his murmur.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Ye stopped and asked. At this moment, he knew there was a problem even though he was slow to react.
"It's really strange. Normally, people who walk here should fall down. It seems that the medicine is no longer effective and needs to be replaced." The old man said to himself, without any intention of talking to Xiao Ye.
"Click."
Suddenly, there were strange sounds coming from my ears, as if something was coming towards me.
Soon, Xiao Ye saw clearly what those things were. They were strange-looking steel robots that looked like defective products, some of which were missing arms and legs.
"I just want to get an identity certificate, why do I have so many things to do?" Xiao Ye was speechless for a moment.
Looking at the group of robots rushing over, Xiao Ye's heart of time was too lazy to move. He punched it and directly blasted the nearest robot into pieces.
These robots may be okay against ordinary people, but they are useless against Xiao Ye.
A few minutes later, Xiao Ye dismantled the last robot into pieces, then looked at Liu Zhi and said with a smile: "If you have any other means, use it quickly. It's just for entertainment."
"Sir, I was wrong." Liu Zhi knelt down with a plop.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xiao Ye said.
A few minutes later, Xiao Ye understood the cause and effect. To put it simply, he and the truck driver worked together to deceive some outsiders using their identity documents, and then knocked them out and sold them to some unscrupulous factories to work as coolies.
"So you can't handle the identification matter?" Xiao Ye looked a little unhappy, thinking that he had been tricked.
"Sir, this matter is indeed not something that ordinary people like us can handle." Liu Zhi glanced at Xiao Ye cautiously. After seeing Xiao Ye's ugly face, he quickly fell down in excitement.
He hastily added: "Although I can't do it, I know it can be done there."
"Give you another chance, I won't be so easy to talk to next time." Xiao Ye restrained his breath and did not argue with the old man. As a passer-by, even though what the old man did made him disgusted, Xiao Ye was not willing to Interfering in too many things in this world.
"Yes, yes." Old man Liu Zhi nodded quickly.
"Let's go." Xiao Ye glanced at him expressionlessly.
"Not yet." Old man Liu Zhi said with a bitter smile.
"Huh?" Xiao Ye frowned.
"With proof of identity, you can't enter the city during the day. You can only have the opportunity at night." Old man Liu Zhi saw Xiao Ye frowning and explained quickly.
It was not long before night, Xiao Ye frowned and said nothing more.
"You'd better not make any small moves. I don't have much patience." Xiao Ye gave him a cold look.
"Yes, yes." Liu Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded in panic.
The time soon arrived at night. What surprised Xiao Ye was that the old man was calm and not looking for trouble. This made Xiao Ye a little uninterested after waiting for a long time.
"Let's go." Seeing Xiao Ye coming, Xiao Ye reminded old man Liu Zhi.
"Okay." Liu Zhi quickly stood up.
Following Liu Zhi, Xiao Ye walked into the city with him. The guards guarding the city obviously knew Liu Zhi. After seeing Liu Zhi, they greeted Liu Zhi with smiles. Xiao Ye on the side was ignored. Yes,
Nighttime is the beginning of another kind of life. Under the dim lights, everything is different from the daytime.
The two of them turned around in the city and finally turned into an alley.
"Sir, there is some chaos here, let's be careful." Liu Zhi whispered to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye nodded expressionlessly, turning a blind eye to the scenes of massacres in the alley. No one who appeared here, whether they were victims or victims, was a good person. Xiao Ye would not care about it, nor did he bother to do it. No matter, he is not a saint, nor is he a Virgin.
Everything is his own fault and he cannot blame others. However, what happened here made Xiao Ye understand the world clearly again.
"Bang bang bang!"
There was a burst of gunfire in my ears.
As soon as they walked out of the alley, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes fell in front of the two of them. Liu Zhi was not surprised by this and walked around him.
Xiao Ye glanced at the man who fell to the ground and found that his eyes seemed to still have nostalgia for this world. The person who killed him had long since disappeared into the crowd.
The people nearby pointed, but no one stepped forward to see if there was any possibility of saving the man. Several people even looked at the pockets of the man in the suit.
In this environment, human nature is fully reflected.
"This city looks exactly the same as it does during the day at night. In some places, order and rules have disappeared at night." Liu Zhi walked in front and whispered to Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye nodded without saying anything, he could tell.
"How much longer?" Xiao Ye asked.
Liu Zhi quickly responded: "Right away."
The two of them quickened their pace and walked through the streets and alleys, finally arriving at a relatively remote area.
The surroundings were quiet, but Xiao Ye felt something unusual here. There were countless people hiding in the darkness.
Abandoned buildings can be seen everywhere. Occasionally, there will be a trace of fire on a floor, but it will disappear immediately.
The people here seem to be accustomed to darkness and cannot see the light.
"Sir, I can only take you here. The rest is up to you. The room with the lights on on the top floor of this building is the person you want to find." Liu Zhi stopped and said, He whispered to Xiao Ye.
"Go back." Xiao Ye didn't embarrass him, quietly leaving a trace of his soul on him, and then let him leave.
After Liu Zhi left, Xiao Ye walked directly into the building, and then followed the stairs to the top floor. During this period, Xiao Ye could feel that there were many people on the floor, and everyone was full of malice toward Xiao Ye's arrival.
But no one made a move against him.
"A room with lights..."
Walking to the top of the building, Xiao Ye saw the room Liu Zhi mentioned at a glance. When he came to the door, Xiao Ye knocked a few times.
The door was quickly opened.
A thin old woman looked at Xiao Ye calmly and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Get an identity certificate." Xiao Ye said calmly.
The old woman glanced at Xiao Ye and said, "Come in and close the door."
Xiao Ye walked in and closed the door.
Inside the door was a very cozy cabin with a holographic TV hanging on the wall. There were TV series on the TV that Xiao Ye couldn't understand.
"Are you a foreigner? What kind of identity card do you want to apply for?" the old woman asked.
"The order in this city seems to be very chaotic. Is it really necessary to apply for identification?" Xiao Ye expressed his doubts.
"Whether it is necessary or not depends on your own understanding. Young man, if you want to live a good life, apply for one." The old woman said.
