Chapter 247: The Way to Live (Part 1)
The scene in front of him was beyond Chen Yuan's imagination, it was an extremely wide square, and it was completely unreminiscent of a place three hundred meters underground. The whole square was full of prisoners, and they were swaying in twos and threes. Not far away there is a row of shops that seem to sell other things besides food.
In addition to these, more importantly, Chen Yuan saw a figure that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Why is that guy here?
"Why are you standing stupidly?"
Akito's voice pulled him out of his chaotic thoughts, and then tapped him on the shoulder.
Chen Yuan blinked, the other party didn't seem to notice him, and had already walked away in other directions at this time.
"No, it's fine. ”
Qiu Ren glanced at Chen Yuan suspiciously, "Your reaction, it seems that you have seen something?
"It doesn't matter. Chen Yuan showed a flat expression, "Let's go, let's go to the store first." ”
Akito didn't ask again, "Well, let's go." ”
Walking towards the shop in front of him, Chen Yuan habitually looked around.
In the square, in addition to the male prisoners, there were also many female prisoners.
The women's prison uniforms are basically the same as theirs, but it seems that because there is no underwear, the whole scene seems to be full of ambiguity. Especially those women who have a lot of material on their chests, they walk with all kinds of waves.
Everywhere, some male and female prisoners could be seen talking with ambiguous expressions.
Qiu Ren smiled and explained to Chen Yuan, "These women are another reason why those guys are looking forward to this place so much." ”
Chen Yuan rolled his gaze, "Do you use time to trade?"
Qiu Ren nodded, "There are only a few women who can participate in the event, so most women still choose to use their bodies to gain time to live." After all, as long as you open your legs and endure for a while, there is almost no risk compared to participating in activities. ”
After listening to Qiu Ren's words, Chen Yuan's mood was a little complicated.
It's not that he is an upright person, it's just that looking at the reality in front of him makes him more truly realize that everything in this world is no longer what it used to be.
The so-called time, to put it bluntly, is still a kind of power. Only with absolute strength can we survive in such an environment and even live a good life.
These women may be pitiful, but this is also their way of survival.
Everyone is trying to survive in the end, but in a different way.
In his thoughts, a woman approached him.
Her figure is thin, not plump, her skin is a little dark, her shawl hair, and her face can only be said to be decent, not ugly, but she is certainly not a beauty.
She stopped in front of Chen Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and then tried to show a smile, "Hello handsome guy, do you need someone to accompany you?" I'm cheap, well, it's only 30,000 yuan an hour, you can do whatever you want." "Read the latest and fastest chapters, follow]
Chen Yuan doesn't have this mood at all now, it doesn't matter what this woman's appearance is, he just doesn't want to do it. He waved his hand expressionlessly, "No need. ”
was rejected indifferently by Chen Yuan, and the woman was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and bit her lip, and said to him with a smile again before Chen Yuan passed her: "Handsome guy, are you too expensive? I can get a cheaper one! Twenty-seven thousand is good? I, although I am not good-looking, but my skills are very good!"
Seeing that Chen Yuan was still shaking his head, the woman immediately added: "Twenty-four thousand! Twenty-one thousand! Eighteen thousand can't be less!"
She pinched her fingers and stood in place, very nervously waiting for Chen Yuan's response.
Chen Yuan looked at her, did not speak, and did not continue to walk forward.
Qiu Ren looked at Chen Yuan with some doubts, not knowing what he was thinking.
After being silent for a few seconds, Chen Yuan grabbed the woman's wrist and looked at her electronic watch.
The screen shows her time remaining, 50382.
That is, the woman has less than fourteen hours left.
If she wants to survive until this time tomorrow, she must earn ten hours of free activity, or she will not survive this time tomorrow.
The woman didn't understand why Chen Yuan was looking at her for the rest of the time, she just looked at Chen Yuan quietly, feeling uneasy.
"You don't want to die, do you?"
would ask this question, and Chen Yuan also felt that he was a little brainless. Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to this woman at all, but I don't know why, I still did it inexplicably.
The woman nodded cautiously, "Well, I don't want to ......"
Chen Yuan looked into her eyes and did not speak. He raised his right hand and operated on the electronic watch as Akito had taught him before. A moment later, his time had been reduced by eighteen thousand seconds. At the same time, 18,000 seconds were added to the woman's electronic watch.
"I'm not a saint, I'm not a good person, I'm just doing it now, you don't have to think too much. Also, I don't need someone to accompany me, you can go find someone else. ”
After saying this, Chen Yuan ignored the woman and walked straight to the store.
The woman looked at Chen Yuan's back in a daze, her face full of incredulity. After a long absence, tears slowly welled up from the corners of his eyes.
Akito glanced back at the woman and smiled and pointed to his electronic watch, as if to tell her to come on.
"I didn't expect you to have such a tender side, a little surprised. ”
Qiuren followed Chen Yuan and teased.
"It's just a brain in water. ”
Chen Yuan responded casually.
"Okay. ”
Akito shrugged, "There's a store selling food right in front of you, you can pick and choose, and of course, watch the rest of your time." ”
"Hmm. ”
After approaching, Chen Yuan looked to both sides, and the design of this square was really strange.
The road in front of you can almost be regarded as a pedestrian street. In addition to this store, there are many different types of shops nearby, some selling weapons and equipment, some selling women's clothes, and even adult goods stores.
Why do you sell these things in such a place?
Chen Yuan was thinking inexplicably in his heart, and then noticed that among the many prisoners, some women were not wearing prison uniforms. It seemed that their clothes were bought in the stores in front of them.
Noticing Chen Yuan's reaction, Qiu Ren explained in surprise: "Wearing sexier clothes makes it easier to get more time on these prisoners. It can only be said that this is also an investment. ”
Akito paused and continued: "However, they can only change into these clothes when they are free, and after all, everyone's identity is still prisoner, so you don't have to think too much. ”
Chen Yuan grabbed his hair, indeed, since this kind of place exists, then these people can live as much as they like. It has nothing to do with me, so there's no need to care about it at all.
"Hmm. ”
After a brief response, the two walked into the store.
The scale inside is no different from that of a convenience store in the outside world.
However, the price of each product is settled in units of time.
Chen Yuan walked around the shelves.
The price of a bottle of mineral water is six thousand, and the price of an ordinary loaf of bread is seven thousand two.
These two products are almost the cheapest things in the entire store.
Chen Yuan looked at the cigarettes on the counter, and the cheapest one cost 18,000 boxes.
If you want to smoke, you need to spend five hours of life to redeem it.
This feeling really made him a little difficult to accept.
Qiu Ren walked around slowly, looking at Chen Yuan's empty hands, he asked curiously, "Aren't you here to buy something, why haven't you thought about it yet?"
Chen Yuan looked at his electronic watch, "Didn't you just tell me that you should pay attention to the remaining time." Therefore, what to buy, you always need to be careful about it. ”
Akito nodded, "Then you can figure it out." ”
Chen Yuan ignored him.
The screen of the electronic watch seemed to be 197863, and there were almost fifty hours left.
In that case, buy a pack of cigarettes, a loaf of bread, and a mineral water.
I still have about forty hours left, and then, I just need to find a way to continue to earn time.
After making this decision, Chen Yuan took out a loaf of bread and a bottle of mineral water.
I was about to go to the checkout counter to pick up a pack of cigarettes and pay for it, when the door of the store was pushed open again.
