Chapter 200: The Scavengers
Xia Qingqing's eyes stared at the air without blinking, her eyes were full of fear, longing, and hope!
1,000 meters in front of Xia Qingqing is a huge garbage heap like a small mountain, this garbage mountain is Xia Qingqing's hope for survival, not only him, there are many waste pickers like Xia Qingqing in the 1,000 meters around the garbage mountain.
They are all looking at the huge garbage dump truck in the sky, every half month, there is a garbage dumping truck here, and every time this time is the day when all the waste pickers in the neighborhood must arrive, all the people are counting on the dumping of this garbage, because they will get food from here for the next half month.
The huge garbage dumping truck is like a giant beast hovering in the air at a height of 100 meters, from a distance, it looks like an upside-down bowl, constantly spitting all kinds of garbage in the center of the bowl, countless garbage forms a line, Xia Qingqing waited patiently, the time of garbage dumping was almost half an hour, Xia Qingqing knew that the distance was almost over when it was completely dumped, and sure enough, after a minute, nothing fell at the bottom of the giant bowl, and the giant bowl began to rise slowly, and began to become smaller in Xia Qingqing's eyes。
At this time, out of the corner of Xia Qingqing's eyes, he saw a waste picker trying to rush towards the garbage heap from another direction, Xia Qingqing couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Idiot!"
"Never go within 1,000 meters of the garbage dump until the garbage truck has completely disappeared"
This is what Xia Qingqing was told when she was picking up waste for the first time, because it was very dangerous to go to the garbage mountain before that.
Sure enough, after running more than 900 meters, the scavenger who had just rushed out was about to approach the garbage mountain, when he flashed from the giant bowl, one after another, and the scavenger did not dodge the fourth light after dodging the three rays, and the scavenger turned into a charred corpse in the light.
Although he had seen it many times, the corners of Xia Qingqing's eyes couldn't help jumping, and he was in awe of the huge monster in the air.
The garbage truck in the air continued to rise, and the shadows cast on the ground also continued to shrink, and when all the shadows were gone, Xia Qingqing knew that the danger from the air had passed.
The next moment, Xia Qingqing rushed out from the hiding place, Xia Qingqing's speed was very fast, a distance of nearly 10 meters in a second, which was already in the forefront among all the scavengers.
As Xia Qingqing rushed out, around the kilometer range of the garbage mountain, figures emerged one by one. These people, including children, old people, young people, women, and prime of life, all of them were running towards the garbage mountain at maximum speed.
These people were all waste pickers, and thousands of people formed a shrinking circle around the garbage heap, in which the first group at the front were the strongest men, followed by children, women, and the elderly.
Although Xia Qingqing is a woman, she has steadily occupied the first group with the speed she has practiced for many years, a distance of one kilometer Xia Qingqing ran in one minute and 30 seconds, and when she came to the garbage heap, Xia Qingqing suddenly stretched out her hand towards a piece of bread that she had been eyeing for a long time, this is a piece of bread that has only been bitten into it, mixed with other items, although the color is a little dull, mixed with other items, but Xia Qingqing has locked this piece of bread a hundred meters away, the desire for food, so that Xia Qingqing knows everything about food, grabbed the bread in his hand, and then stuffed it into a backpack close to his chest。
No matter at any time, food is the first, Xia Qingqing was very happy, he could find a piece of bread when he was just approaching the garbage heap, which was a very lucky thing, and then Xia Qingqing began to climb on the top of the garbage heap, there are many things on the surface of the huge garbage heap, Xia Qingqing's first thing to look for is the food that is exposed on the surface, as the first batch of waste pickers to run to the garbage heap Xia Qingqing's harvest is still good, after climbing dozens of meters, he found a chicken leg, Xia Qingqing lightningly stuffed the chicken leg into the cloth bag on his chest, and then continued to climb up without stopping。
The hill-like garbage heap looks very large, a lot, but there are thousands of waste pickers, although Xia Qingqing is the first wave of people to arrive, but as the time climbs up, more and more people have come behind him, and they are slowly approaching Xia Qingqing.
Climbing all the way up, Xia Qingqing climbed on the garbage mountain with both hands and feet, and carried a pair of gloves with no color on his hands, which was Xia Qingqing's best equipment, which could prevent his hands from being scratched.
There is everything on the garbage mountain, food is only a small part of it, more is some mechanical garbage, broken electronic products, all kinds of mechanical parts, these mechanical garbage makes the entire garbage mountain very dangerous, Xia Qingqing every meter up, must be careful not to be hurt by all kinds of mechanical garbage, if it is hurt, then it is likely to mean that a week will be starving, or even die because of it, because medicine is more precious than food, and this pair of gloves allows Xia Qingqing to crawl faster.
The garbage mountain, which is nearly 100 meters high, is now covered by a swarm of ants, and one by one the scavengers are desperately climbing up the mountain, picking up all useful items.
Xia Qingqing quickly climbed to the top of the mountain, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and there was a crystal-like box lying not far in front of him, Xia Qingqing immediately recognized it, this was a box of chocolates, and there was a row of black squares in it.
The corners of Xia Qingqing's mouth couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then quickly rushed over, chocolate, this is a very rare thing, and you may not be able to touch it once in a few months.
Getting closer and closer to the crystal box, Xia Qingqing reached out and took the crystal box in his hand, and was about to stuff it into his chest, when suddenly a gust of wind came from his ears, and a black shadow rushed towards Xia Qingqing's arm, and the target was the crystal box in Xia Qingqing's hand.
Xia Qingqing felt a pain in his arm, the crystal box in his hand came out, and Xia Qingqing took two steps back.
A young man was looking at Xia Qingqing fiercely at this time, holding a half-bent iron rod in his hand.
The young man stared at Xia Qingqing while leaning towards the crystal box, Xia Qingqing felt that his hands were numb, seeing that the young man was about to pick up the crystal box, Xia Qingqing's left hand was hidden to his waist, and when the young man was about to reach out to pick up the crystal box and leave his eyes, an arrow rushed to the young man's body, and there was already a black dagger in his left hand, and the dagger was inserted into the heart obliquely from the young man's ribs.
After the dagger in Xia Qingqing's hand was pulled out, the originally black blade had turned blood red, and drops of blood flowed down the blood trough, Xia Qingqing ignored the young man who was still struggling, reached out and picked up the crystal box, and quickly stuffed it into his chest.
Looking around, Xia Qingqing saw that there were several scavengers nearby, Xia Qingqing put the dagger in his hand on his chest, his eyes were full of fierce eyes, the few scavengers who wanted to come forward were a little hesitant, and their feet couldn't help but slow down, Xia Qingqing took advantage of this time to suddenly speed up and climb down the garbage mountain.
When these scavengers reflected, Xia Qingqing had already blended into the crowd, and the process of going down the mountain was not easy, and it could even be said that it was even more dangerous than when going up the mountain, because at this time, the entire garbage mountain was already full of people, and all the people were rummaging over the garbage mountain.
Staying away from other people, this is the second experience that Xia Qingqing was able to survive, especially when going down the mountain. With his agile skills, Xia Qingqing came to the bottom of the mountain without danger.
Letting go of the speed, Xia Qingqing began to run towards the road where he came, getting farther and farther away from the garbage mountain, and seeing that he was about to run out of the range of the garbage mountain, two young men appeared in front of Xia Qingqing.
The two rifles were aimed at Xia Qingqing.
Looking at the muzzle of the black hole, a fierce light appeared in Xia Qingqing's eyes.
