Vicissitudes of Life Chapter 19 The King of Moving Bricks

Although the steel city has strong and majestic city walls, but the vast majority of the population still lives underground, after all, the intensity of nuclear radiation on the ground is still relatively high, after Hua Yan and He Zhijun separated, they wandered alone in this dungeon, and found that the main body here is still the underground shopping mall and subway station before the end of the world, and then after excavation and expansion, many new culverts have been added, and many people have settled in those culverts.

The lights in this dungeon are a little dim, and the air is a little dirty, which is slightly worse than Hua Yan's situation in the cave before, Hua Yan walked forward for a few hundred meters, and found a market, he was a little curious, so he rushed over to look around, and found that most of them were some vendors, selling some things left over from the nuclear explosion. For example, expired cans, biscuits, chocolates, etc., as well as shampoo, small household appliances and so on.

Hua Yan exchanged a giant wilderness fruit for some money, these coins were printed with the pattern of the giant wilderness fruit, and when passing a stall, Hua Yan stopped, and a golden Buddha statue on the stall attracted him, and the stall owner was a middle-aged man with gray hair.

"How do you sell this Buddha statue?"

Hua Yan asked casually.

"Eight pieces"

The middle-aged man replied.

This price is not surprising to Hua Yan, in the last days, in addition to the giant wilderness fruit, the most expensive thing is food, and the price of gold is a lot lower, not as good as the mutated wild boar he hunted, Hua Yan didn't say anything, he paid directly, and took the golden Buddha, just now he had already perceived, this golden Buddha is indeed pure gold, Hua Yan plans to buy it to warm the soul gold, and when he returns to Hope Town, he will cast a sword for Xiao Li and them.

After walking around the bazaar, Hua Yan found a temporary settlement in the city to live, which is a place where the Steel City arranges a place for newcomers to the city, and when they have moved enough bricks, they can choose a place to settle down. In the past, the temporary settlements were very large, but now there are fewer and fewer new arrivals, and the places have shrunk a lot.

After showing the metal sign that reads "Newcomers Move Bricks", Hua Yan was led to an underground factory.

Five-ton reinforced concrete bricks, moved from the factory to the city wall, although most of them are mechanized operations, but there are still many places that require manpower to complete, under normal circumstances, a brick from the brick factory to the city wall, basically need more than 30 people to jointly apply a variety of engineering vehicles and equipment to complete.

When Hua Yan came over, it attracted a lot of people's attention, because now there are basically few newcomers coming, and Hua Yan wearing mechanical armor looks a little out of place in the crowd, and the workers who often come here to move bricks basically have a fixed team, so their efficiency will be higher.

"This newcomer, you said you would join that team?"

"It's not as good as before, who wants a newcomer who doesn't have a tacit understanding?"

"Look at him wearing that armor, maybe he is a soul powerhouse, and his strength is much greater than maybe us~"

"It's useful to have a lot of strength, there is no tacit understanding, a person has a lot of strength, but it is more in the way."

A few workers in line were whispering, and from time to time they secretly looked at Hua Yan out of the corner of their eyes. Hua Yan didn't care, and directly ignored the small movements of these people, and after a while, a man who looked like a foreman walked over with a horn in his hand, and then walked to the crowd and shouted with a loudspeaker:

"Hey~Hey~ Workers, a newcomer is here today, and the team needs to add manpower, and the squad leader raises his hand."

"Is there a team that needs to be added?"

The horn shouted a few times, no one raised their hands, but many team leaders turned their heads, the right did not hear, for a while, the foreman with the horn stood a little embarrassed, now it is so difficult to arrange a new person, it seems that I can only forcibly find a good team to stuff people inside.

"I'll do it alone."

Hua Yan looked at the foreman with the horn and said lightly.

"What did you say?"

The foreman was just about to find a team and forced Hua Yan into it, but when he suddenly heard Hua Yan say this, he stumbled violently and almost fell.

"You want to move bricks alone?"

The foreman asked as he stared at Hua Yan in disbelief.

"Hmm~"

Hua Yan responded calmly.

At this time, the surrounding brick movers all "buzzed" and began to talk one after another, and then most of them looked at Hua Yan with a look like a fool.

"Isn't this person crazy?"

"Five-ton bricks, he moves them alone, he has a sick brain!"

At this time, the foreman with the horn walked up to Hua Yan and asked:

"Are you sure you want to move bricks alone?"

"Hmm~, I'm sure!"

Hua Yan smiled slightly, but still replied lightly. The foreman still insisted on seeing Hua Yan, glanced at Hua Yan like a monster, didn't say anything more, and walked away.

With a "clang" sound, the thick metal gate of the brick factory slowly separated to both sides, and after a while, a five-ton maroon reinforced concrete brick was pushed out from a track, and the materials used to make the bricks were recovered from the ruins, re-smelted and poured, and then made into bricks, the steel in the ruins was evenly distributed in the bricks, and the whole brick looked like an iron brick on the outside.

The city walls built of these bricks look like they are made of steel, which is also the origin of the name of the Steel City, when the Steel City was first built, the city lord also personally participated in the removal of bricks, and even now, the most important infrastructure project of the entire Steel City is to continue to build the city walls with these tons of bricks, and even the surface of the city is paved with these thick bricks.

This is the ...... of people's desire for a safe refuge in the last days.

The previous teams have begun to use engineering vehicles, jacks and other tools, dozens of people in a group, to start a day's brick moving work, and no one pays attention to Huayan's situation anymore. After waiting for more than half an hour, it was Hua Yan's turn.

I saw that he just walked to the maroon brick that was about three or four meters long and about one meter thick, his current strength with mechanical armor was already more than five thousand kilograms, he chuckled lightly on his face, the corners of his mouth curved an arc, and then the two arms with mechanical armor stuck on the edge of the brick, and slammed hard.

"Up!"

Hua Yan snorted and lifted the brick.

At this time, the people in the brick-moving team behind Hua Yan were all stunned, dumbfounded, their mouths wide open and they could stuff their fists, and they all looked at Hua Yan with ghost-like expressions.

"Who is this?"

"That's awesome!"

"If I had the ability to move bricks for a month or two, I would be rich!"

Hua Yan ignored these people's discussions, and lifted the brick with both hands, raised it above his head, and then put it on his back, and began to walk forward step by step, looking like he was still very relaxed.

At this time, the people next to them all blew up the pot and began to shout and cheer, raising their arms and shouting, moving bricks is like a totem of faith for the builders of these steel cities, and has a more extraordinary meaning than other jobs.

"This is the strongest bricklayer in history!"

"Brick Mover King!"

"Brick Mover King!"

"Brick Mover King!"

From this time on, the name of "King of Moving Bricks" began to spread in the city of steel, Hua Yan moved a brick alone, the speed was not slow, and soon surpassed the brick moving team in front of a passage, and these brick movers in front of them saw Hua Yan's situation, and they were all shocked and almost overturned the engineering vehicles, and gave way to Hua Yan.

I saw Hua Yan running all the way with bricks on his back, and soon went out of the passage and came to the ground, only to see a large number of engineering vehicles on the ground at this time, some were cleaning up the ruins, some were transporting these bricks everywhere, and all the surrounding were construction sites.

At this time, there was a foreman who was in charge of scheduling at the entrance of the passage, and when he saw Hua Yan running out alone with a five-ton brick on his back, he was so stunned that he couldn't say a word.

"Master, where are these bricks moving?"

Hua Yan looked at the foreman and asked with a smile.

"Huh? … Oh... Move... Move... Over there... on the city walls..."

The foreman pointed out a direction to Hua Yan, and then spoke excitedly.

Hua Yan looked in that direction, and sure enough, there was a section of the city wall under construction, which was already more than a hundred meters high, and many construction vehicles were working on it, and after figuring out the place, Hua Yan quickly moved the brick to the predetermined place.

After completing the first brick-moving task, Huayan did not stop, and completed the remaining four brick-moving tasks in one go.

After completing the task of moving bricks, Hua Yan can have a place to settle down in the steel city, and as soon as he came down from the construction site, the foreman who began to hold the horn ran in front of Hua Yan.

"My lord, please come with me, and I will take you to the arranged accommodation."

The foreman looked adored and said respectfully to Hua Yan.

"Good!"

Hua Yan didn't refuse, in this steel city, he was not very familiar with it, it would be more convenient to arrange a place to live earlier, he had been wearing mechanical armor and carrying his belongings, which also made Hua Yan a little uncomfortable.

In fact, Hua Yan doesn't have to be so high-profile when moving bricks today, but after Hua Yan came to this steel city, he couldn't think of any way to quickly approach the city lord and complete the instructions given to him by Zhou Fangzhi.

The foreman led him to a quieter place, which looked like a relatively high-end residential area, although it was in the dungeon, but the lights were very bright, and the streets were tidy, and there were several rows of houses scattered in a patchwork, many with yards, and in front of a courtyard gate, the foreman stopped and said:

"My lord, this is your place!"

Then respectfully handed Hua Yan a key.

"Is everyone in the City of Steel so well housed?"

Hua Yan asked with a playful smile.

"No... No... No, this was arranged by the lord of the castle himself. ”

The foreman said hurriedly.
