"Report to the infrastructure office early tomorrow morning and move bricks!"

The officer skillfully took out a sign from a drawer, shook his hand and handed it to Hua Yan, and didn't pay any more attention to him.

"Next!"

The officer shouted again, and then Hua Yan was squeezed out of the way by the people behind him.

"Moving bricks?"

Hua Yan was stunned for a moment, took the sign and looked at it, only to see that it was a palm-sized iron brand, with the words "infrastructure construction" engraved on the front, and on the back, it was engraved with the words "newcomers move bricks", and he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

When he came to the steel city, he didn't do anything, he went to move the bricks first, which made Hua Yan a little confused, but he didn't care too much, so he walked forward with the flow of people and entered a long underground passage, which was more than 200 meters long, and was made of reinforced concrete, which was a downward slope.

When the slope was about to come to an end, it suddenly opened up, and suddenly it "buzzed...... The noisy sound of "buzzing ......" and all kinds of shouting voices came, this should be the residential area, Hua Yan saw many people gathered around the entrance of the passage to buy the prey that these soul people were hunting outside.

"I bought it at a high price..."

"Buy all kinds of prey at a high price..., the price is satisfactory to you...!"

The shouts of various shouts and acquisitions were endless, and Hua Yan sensed that these people who came here to buy were basically ordinary people, and the hunters in front of Hua Yan also began to walk to the side to negotiate the price with these buyers after they came out of the passage.

When Hua Yan came out of the passage, several pairs of eyes immediately stared at him, and those eyes were all eager, because several people who bought them had taken a fancy to the hundreds of kilograms of mutant wild boar carcass that Hua Yan was holding in one hand.

"This little brother~ sell me your mutant wild boar, the price is easy to say..."

"This little brother~ My bid must be the highest, sell it to me!"

Several people surrounded him, vying to come to the acquisition, which caught Hua Yan off guard.

"Go... Go... Go..., get out of the way, can you guys afford these hundreds of kilograms? Well? ”

At this time, a tall and thin young man in his twenties walked over from the side, with yellow hair dyed and a long scar on his face, he walked over and pulled aside several people around Hua Yan with two hands, and glared at them fiercely, these people began to be a little afraid on their faces, and then they dared to disperse angrily.

It seems that even in this last world, these gangsters and scoundrels are indispensable, Hua Yan sighed in his heart.

"This big brother... This big brother..."

When this tall and thin young man with a scar on his face turned his head to look at Hua Yan, he immediately changed to a flattering smile, and when he saw that Hua Yan ignored him, he followed two steps closely.

"This big brother... No... No..., this uncle! Sell me your mutant boar, I beg you~"

The tall and thin young man still followed Hua Yan reluctantly, Hua Yan didn't want to entangle too much with this kind of person, so he took a few steps forward and prepared to leave.

"Please, uncle, I'll kneel down for you, okay! As long as you sell me this wild boar, you can open the price as you like~"

In the eyes of these ordinary people, hundreds of kilograms of mutant wild boar, that is a big business, this scoundrel's face is really thick enough, Hua Yan secretly thought in his heart, he stopped and was about to drive this guy out, but at this time, four or five eleven or twelve-year-old children ran over from a distance.

These children were all yellow-skinned and thin-skinned, with black mud on their faces, and in tattered clothes, and they all surrounded Hua Yan and the two of them when they saw them.

"Uncle, uncle, give me something to eat, we're so hungry~"

"Go, go, go, get out of the way, don't delay Lao Tzu to do business!"

The tall, thin young man with a scar viciously wanted to blow the children away, but the children were not afraid of him, and the one in the lead made a grimace at him.

"Uncle Xiaojun, we're really hungry, we'll leave if we have something to eat~"

This thin and tall young man with a scar was a little helpless by these children, and began to cover his head with his hands, at this time Hua Yan couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't expect that this fierce scoundrel didn't seem to have any deterrent power in front of these children.

Hua Yan put down the mutant boar carcass, then opened the storage box on his back, and took out the roasted wild boar leg that he had leftover and more than half of, the tempting aroma, and the roasted golden boar made several children flow half a foot long, and the tall thin and scarred young man next to him also kept swallowing saliva.

"You guys take it and eat it~"

Hua Yan said softly, and then handed the most of the roasted wild boar leg to the leading child, and after the child took it, he took a hard bite without saying a word, chewing his mouth full of oil, and then handed it to another child behind him, and they all gobbled up a big bite first.

"Lao Tzu raises you all day long, and this barbecue is for Lao Tzu to eat too!"

Seeing how fragrant these children were, the tall and thin young man with a scarred face began to exert his shameless ability and stretched out his hand to the child with the roasted wild boar leg.

"No, Uncle Xiaojun, this meat is too fragrant, I won't give it to you, we're going to grow up~"

As he spoke, a few children laughed and ran away, causing the tall, thin young man with a scarred face to stomp his feet angrily.

After seeing those children walk away, the tall, thin young man with a scarred face was a little embarrassed, looked at Hua Yan and smiled.

"What's your name? Are you raising these children? ”

Hua Yan was slightly puzzled in his heart, looked at the tall thin young man with a scarred face, and asked in a deep voice.

"My name is He Zhijun, the third in the family, people in this area call me He San'er, a little bit of a fierce name, on weekdays, I will collect some of the prey that you soul capable people hunt back, and then resell it, I am a second-class dealer, after the nuclear explosion, the rest of my family died, and I was left alone, I looked at these children on weekdays, and the little money I earned was useless, basically bought food for these children~"

He Zhijun's face lost the fierce aura in front of him at this moment, he lowered his head and said slowly, his eyes were slightly red.

After Hua Yan heard what He Zhijun said, he was also a little moved in his heart, he didn't expect this scoundrel to have such another side.

"Isn't there anyone else in charge of these kids?"

Hua Yan's tone eased a lot, looked at He Zhijun and asked.

"Alas~"

He Zhijun sighed.

"Speaking of which, these children are under the management of the children's welfare institute here, but the director of the welfare institute in this area is the nephew of a head of the logistics supply department in this city, and the food provided by the children's welfare institute is not enough, and the director of the welfare institute will deduct some more, these children are basically hungry every day, and they can't eat, but there is nothing they can do, the director of the welfare home, he is powerful and powerful, and no one dares to say anything about him."

"Oh, so there is such a thing~"

Hua Yan's heart was also a little gloomy, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't have anything to do now, the first time he came to the Steel City, everything was unfamiliar, he could only familiarize himself with the situation first, thinking of this, he looked at He Zhijun and asked:

"How is the money in this city of steel calculated? How much does this mutant boar cost to sell you? ”

"You just came to the City of Steel?"

He Zhijun asked with some surprise.

"Well~"

Hua Yan nodded slightly and replied.

He Zhijun was a little clear, and then said:

"The money in this steel city is exchanged according to the giant wilderness fruit, ten yuan is equivalent to a giant wilderness fruit, anyone who takes ten yuan can go to the logistics supply office to exchange for a giant wilderness fruit, you mutant wild boar, I will give you a maximum price, twenty yuan, what's the matter?"

"Oh"

Hua Yan now understands the monetary system of this steel city, and it seems that everyone knows the role of this giant desolate fruit, and sure enough, now this thing has basically become hard currency in human society, and every time you eat a giant desolate fruit, there is a chance to become a soul power, and now the difference between soul energy and ordinary people has begun to widen.

"This mutant wild boar will be given to you, and I will give you two more giant wilderness fruits, in the future, these children who can't eat enough, you can manage as much as you want, if you are short of money, you can ask me."

Hua Yan patted He Zhijun on the shoulder, smiled at him and said.

Hua Yan saw that although this He Zhijun usually looks like a hooligan and a scoundrel, he still has a good heart, and he can manage these children, so he is determined to help him.

"Oh, uncle, thank you so much~"

This He Zhijun immediately said with a flattering smile.

"I'm not that old, just call me Hua Yan~"

Hua Yan waved his hand helplessly at He Zhijun and said.

After a while, He Zhijun pushed a flatbed truck from not far away, Hua Yan casually put the mutated boar carcass on the car, and took out two giant wild fruits from the storage box and handed them to He Zhijun, he was about to push the flatbed truck away, but was stopped by Hua Yan again.

"What's going on with that?"

Hua Yan flashed the iron sign he got from the city gate at He Zhijun, and then asked.

"Oh, you said this~"

Speaking of this, He Zhijun smiled a little strangely on his face, and then said with a fluttering eyebrow:

"Everything to this steel city people, the first thing to do is to move bricks, only move enough bricks, you are qualified to live in this steel city, no matter who you are, as long as you are an adult man, you have to move bricks, even the city lord is no exception, when this steel city was first built, the city lord took the lead in moving bricks, built one by one!"

"The walls of our city of steel, each brick weighs five tons, and each adult man needs to move five pieces to be eligible to live in this city of steel."

When Hua Yan heard this, he was stunned, who could move the five-ton bricks, and couldn't help but look at He Zhijun suspiciously, but He Zhijun swallowed his saliva and continued.

"Moving bricks is not for you to move alone, it is for everyone to work together, and there are also engineering vehicles, but if a few people move a brick, each person is only counted as one of them, for example, a group of ten people to move a brick to the city wall, each person needs to move fifty times, it is enough."

"Are there still many people moving bricks now?"

Hua Yan asked with a twist of his brows.

"Of course, moving bricks has always been the most popular job in Steel City, but if someone else does it, you will get a salary, if you are a newcomer, you must first move enough bricks to talk!"

He Zhijun said with a splash of spittle.
