"Hehe, Boss Jiang, are you satisfied with this?"

The weather in the wasteland is eerie, it's summer, but occasionally it's as cold as late autumn. Dense radioactive fallout blocks most of the ultraviolet rays, making climate anomalies the norm in this world. If the cloud-like radioactive fallout doesn't drift away, the temperature here will even be a little colder.

Especially in the morning, this chill is especially noticeable.

Wearing a windbreaker, Jiang Chen put one hand in his pocket and scanned with a resume in the other. The fat man standing on the side had already thanked him, and he looked old enough to be Jiang Chen's father, but at this moment, he nodded and flattered him.

In this survivor camp with absolute freedom and capitalism as the core, the one with Yajing is the uncle. Although he didn't know what Jiang Chen's origin was, if he offended the customer, the boss would definitely not let him go around without eating.

What's more, Jiang Chen is a person with status.

At Sun Jiao's suggestion, Jiang Chen fabricated a fictitious identity for himself - the general manager of the fish bone canning production company. In this wasteland, apart from the bosses of various forces, there are two kinds of people who have the most status. One is an arms dealer and the other is a food producer.

Both of these things are profiteering, after all, most of the soil is now uncultivable.

As for why it is called a company and why it is called a fish bone, it is naturally because of convenience. The canned food brought by Jiang Chen was basically a fish bone brand, and he even began to consider whether to buy the canned fish bone food Co., Ltd. after getting a sum of money. This also saves you the hassle of having to erase the production date with sandpaper every time

"Zhang Tianyu, the former vice president of Walker Technology Company, is proficient in economic management and electronic product research and development planning, and has led the development of the popular Walker P7 mobile phone in Asia" Jiang Chen grinned, deputy general manager? I said, Mr. Wang Yi. What I need is computer talent, and at the same time can do a little physical work, you can find me a deputy general manager?"

It's a pity, but the general manager has been brushed off, and he doesn't need anything like a corporate strategy or business plan.

For some reason, the feeling of brushing off the so-called general manager is really enjoyable Of course, Jiang Chen didn't show any performance on his face.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please wait!" The talent market administrator named Wang Yi nodded hurriedly and smiled, then turned around and ran into the data room to continue the selection.

Sighing, Jiang Chen looked at the ragged people in the slums.

There are also families, young men with a working force and even women who are in good health will enter the industrial area to work in production, and then exchange it for a few cheap nutritional mixtures and a small iodine tablet to survive with their families or alone.

In case of illness

Jiang Chen looked at the radiation clouds in the sky, the sunlight that was shining through, the color was so unhealthy.

Soon, the fat man Wang Yi trotted out of the data room, took a stack of materials and handed it to Jiang Chen's hand, and then wiped the sweat from the top of his head with a smile.

These resumes have fallen a little dust, and you can see the traces of the wipes you just wiped. There is no shortage of high-tech talent in this wasteland, and it can even be described as a surplus. After all, you don't need too high-end technology to produce bullets, and no one will pay for a new computer or a new phone.

Jiang Chen carefully selected the materials in his hand, frowning from time to time.

"Boss Jiang, are you not satisfied?" asked Wang Yi cautiously. After all, this is about his commission, and it is also his only job.

"There are a few people whose skills are really nothing to be picky about, but" Jiang Chen pointed to a column under his resume, which said a criminal record, "Why are all the criminals you picked for me?"

Lu Haitao, an IT worker, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for stealing 15 nutritional mixtures and worked as manual labor in an organic synthesis furnace.

Li Kaiming, a former project manager at Feixun Technology, was sentenced to 17 years in prison for a gun hijacking incident and worked as a manual laborer in a bullet processing factory

The fat on Wang Yi's face was squeezed together, revealing a wry smile that was more ugly than crying, and he spoke in an almost pleading tone.

"I said Boss Jiang, that, I can't help it!"

After listening to Wang Yi's explanation, Jiang Chen understood.

It turns out that not all refugees in the slums are free, and those who can be traded as commodities are naturally those who have lost their freedom. Everyone who received subsistence allowance in the slums was nominally the "property" of the sixth block, and their status was somewhat similar to that of the serfs of the old society. Everyone who has the ability to work will be forced to work in the factory, and those who cannot work will be used as the population base reserve, and if necessary, they will be sent to the front line to be cannon fodder. As for those free refugees, although they are poor, they can more or less support themselves, and naturally they do not need to receive any subsistence allowances.

However, these were the rules of ten years ago, and now that Wanghai City has formed a stable "ecosystem", xenos and zombies will not impact the living space of survivors for no reason. The Sixth Block is free of external troubles, and naturally the demand for refugees like serfs is greatly reduced.

In order to absorb the surplus population, the officials of the Sixth Block also had to participate in the population business.

Provide the necessary "connections" to stationary "agents", and then sell surplus refugees in the slums through their hands. These refugees are often bought by mercenaries or caravans as bait to test danger or lure prey to take the bait. It can be said that the people who are bought will not end up very well.

No one wastes nutrients to nutrient waste.

As a result, those who are allowed to sell, except for those who do not have the labor force and have no value, are often criminals who have committed crimes.

Jiang Chen began to have some difficulties, he didn't want either of these two people very much.

Those with bad personalities are difficult to control, and those with weak bodies are difficult to raise.

"Actually, Boss Jiang doesn't have to worry, those people will wear electronic collars when they sell them, if they do something that endangers your safety, hehe," Wang Fatzi seemed to see through Jiang Chen's worries, and cautiously explained to Jiang Chen, saying that in the end, he also stretched out his finger and made a flowering gesture.

I'm still a little worried, but there's nothing better to do. Jiang Chen sighed, ready to pick one of these criminals who could be seen.

Just be careful.

"010342, please stop, or you will be killed. A cold voice came from the door, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but look sideways.

A soft impact came from his legs, Jiang Chen was stunned and looked down.

"I'm sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation, I know how to use a computer, please, buy me away. The girl's voice was very fast, and her pupils changed with fear and pleading.

Being held by this thin body on his thighs, Jiang Chen first felt a little vigilantly towards the weapon behind his back. However, when he saw the soldier in combat uniform signaling to him not to get excited, and raising his gun to aim at the girl, Jiang Chen gave up the idea of pulling out the gun.

The soldier pulled away the thin little girl like a chicken, Jiang Chen's brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything.

Although sympathetic, he was more worried about the girl's intentions.

What if it's a conspiracy of the Gray Gu mercenary group?

"Hehe, I'm really sorry, there is always no shortage of people in the slums who are in a hurry to be reincarnated. Wang Yi hurriedly bent down to apologize to Jiang Chen, and at the same time motioned to the soldiers to quickly escort the girl back to the camp.

Jiang Chen noticed that the girl was wearing a watch-like thing on her wrist, which was flashing red at the moment. As soon as a "slave" who had received subsistence allowance left the slums, the alarm was set in, instructing the soldiers on duty to take them back.

"What will happen if she is caught?" Jiang Chen asked casually.

"Transferred to a labor camp. Wang Yi shrugged his shoulders, such things happen every day, and he is no longer surprised.

"Can such a young child work?"

"Actually, it's not too young, it's generally over 16 years old to wear a bracelet that restricts leaving the country, that guy is just stunted," Wang Yi smiled, "Don't talk about this, Boss Jiang, do you want to choose?"

"Just that girl. Jiang Chen sighed.

If such a thin girl enters a labor camp, I am afraid that she will die under high-intensity labor in a few days

Jiang Chen saw many corpses along the way, and he also killed people with his own hands. But no matter what, it is still impossible to watch a little girl be taken to hell like this.

What's more, that girl seems to be convinced in her heart by me Jiang Chen.

Maybe it's conscience, a luxury.

"Huh?" Wang Yi was stunned, looked at Jiang Chen with a strange expression, and approached at the same time.

"Hehe, Boss Jiang, if you are good, there are actually more good options, hehe, I have some ways to get you more"

"You have a lot of words. ”

Wang Yi couldn't help but shudder when he saw the cold expression on Jiang Chen's face.

"Yes, yes, no problem. "You can't offend the gold owner, Wang Yi hurriedly nodded and said.

"How long does it take to complete the formalities?" Jiang Chen was much lazy to talk nonsense with this person.

"About one day, please tell me your address" Although the girl had just committed a felony of restricting her exit from the country, it could be said that she had become a criminal, and theoretically it was within the scope of the permitted sale. But after all, there hasn't been a program yet, and it's not so easy to get it out directly.

"Two subcrystals, I'm just waiting here. ”

"Boss Jiang, after all, this judicial process"

"Three crystals, I'm talking about tips. Jiang Chen said impatiently. Where is there so much fault? Civilization does not exist, and you and I are talking about the law?

"Yes! I'll do it for you right away!" Wang Yi ran back to the reference room, he needed to get in touch with his "connection" immediately.

Although this fat man looks sloppy, his efficiency is quite fast, of course, this is all for the sake of Yajing.

Jiang Chen only waited for half an hour before he saw a soldier pressing the girl back to the gate.

It was only half an hour before Jiang Chen noticed that there was a dark blue on the girl's face.

Wang Yi noticed that Jiang Chen's face was a little unnatural, so he leaned over with a shy face.

"Hehe, Boss Jiang, the physical examination took some time, and this is also for your safety, please understand. Defending with a wry smile, Wang Yi leaned closer to Jiang Chen again, and then whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, the quarantine personnel told me." It's still an original, hehe. ”

Jiang Chen shifted his head slightly, this guy was like a mobile heat source, and there was an unpleasant smell on his body.

While patting the transfer fee and tips, a total of 5 Yajing, on the table, Jiang Chen signed his name on the agreement. Since then, the girl with the 010342 number has nothing to do with the Sixth Block.

"You, what's your name?" Jiang Chen looked at the bruises on the left side of the girl's face, as well as the blood marks on her arms, looked away slightly, and said with a sigh.

The bruise should have been smashed by the butt of a gun, and although the scar had nothing to do with him, he still felt a little guilty in his heart.

"Yao Jiayu. The girl replied timidly, but her voice was stiff with timidity.

"Do you know how to have a computer?"

"I will!" the girl suddenly raised her voice, but seemed to realize her abruptness, so she lowered her head again and whispered, "In terms of computers, I got a B grade in the virtual education system. Whether it's programming or hacking, I'm confident that I can do it well. ”

"Oh, then why are you still so down?" Jiang Chen glanced at this little loli in slight surprise. If you can do this at the age of sixteen or seventeen, it is not surprising that you can even be called a genius in this world.

Yet this does seem to be a very common thing in the last days. The virtual education system of the introduction eliminates the need for superfluous quality education and provides specialized teaching according to each individual's talents. It only takes a few years in a petri dish to achieve outstanding results in a certain field. Anyone who grew up in an evacuation camp has received a similar education. To be able to get a B evaluation is already a good level.

This little loli, named Yao Jiayu, is obviously also from a certain shelter, but he may have been displaced here for various reasons.

This is a common occurrence where people in the shelter often choose to leave in search of a new home after the Vault's resources are depleted. Most people will choose to enter such a survivor base.

"A lot of people in the slums can do it. Yao Jiayu's cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head a little weakly, but as if she was worried that Jiang Chen would not be satisfied, she mustered up the courage to raise her head.

"Although, although my ability may not be the best, but, but my potential will definitely not let you suffer, and also, I am very obedient, no matter what you want me to do, I will not resist, and I will be very docile"

In the end, I don't know if it was because of excitement or shyness, the girl's face turned red.

Seeing Yao Jiayu desperately selling himself, Jiang Chen couldn't help but wonder.

He didn't care about the little bit of subcrystals he spent. It's like money, it's always going to be spent.

"Take it easy, you don't have to be so nervous about doing the work for me. ”

Seeing Yao Jiayu trembling and nodding, Jiang Chen suddenly realized the clothes on her body.

The thin material clung to her frail frame, as if the people in the slums were wearing this kind of jumpsuit. When she left the camp, all of her "possessions" were confiscated, including the tattered jacket she had wrapped outside.

"Is it cold?"

The girl shuddered and shook her head.

At this time, Jiang Chen realized that the girl was not trembling because she was afraid of him, but because the weather was really a little cold.

With a sigh, Jiang Chen draped his windbreaker over her shoulders under Yao Jiayu's surprised gaze.

"Don't catch a cold, it's not good to treat here. ”

Jiang Chen didn't say anything warm, but the girl did silently lower her head, and a happy smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was covered by the scattered and oily hair.

"I was so lucky. ”

"Huh?" Jiang Chen tilted his head.

"No, nothing. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled and didn't ask. After doing a good deed, he felt more or less comfortable in his heart, which may be the characteristic of the so-called civilized person.

Yao Jiayu secretly glanced at the corners of Jiang Chen's raised mouth, and then lowered his head timidly, wrapped in the collar of his windbreaker.

It's so warm

What she didn't say was that she had waited too long. Every day she would hide in the corner of the slum talent market, secretly watching the people who came to "buy" slaves. She wants to get out of here, and she's waiting for a "not too bad" buyer

There are murderous mercenaries, well-dressed merchants, and people who seem to know the depths.

But not once did she do what she did today.

Why, exactly?

Why risk death and rush out to beg this man?

Perhaps it was from the way he looked at the slums that he saw a special emotion.

It was a feeling called pity, though it was thin, though it was almost worn out

If you don't gamble at this time, you can only spend your life in this hell. She knew very well that the reason why the villains in the slums hadn't done anything to her was simply because she wasn't physically developed at all. As soon as she grows up, what hell she will face is already understood from the neighbor's big sister.

Forced to trade your body for a pack of cigarettes, or wantonly insulted by a group of people?

The father who died desperately to protect her mother, and the mother who knelt on the ground begging, she has witnessed too many tragic situations, and she is far more mature than she seems.

The world has gone mad.

Since in the end, they are all going to be plundered by others and depend on others to survive, it is better to choose someone who may be a little kind to themselves. Not to mention that she will be very satisfied if she can light a little when she fights.

As for losing the bet, Jiang Chen didn't have the kindness to buy her

The ending of dying in a labor camp is not too bad.
