Chapter 3: Seventeen Years Later
Seventeen years later......
In the underground city of Beijing, hundreds of thousands of people are crowded into this small living space, and the living space of each household is less than ten square meters.
Houses in disrepair are next to each other, and dim lights illuminate the streets.
Because you can't see the sun, you can't feel day and night, and your routine here is often reversed.
"Whew~"
Yu Xing yawned and woke up from a room of less than five square meters, which contained only a small wooden bed and a wooden cabinet. The floor was filled with bottles and jars.
In front of the bed, there is a broken mirror.
The stubble that has not been taken care of for a long time, the lazy eyes, the hairstyle that has not changed for a hundred years, and the tough cheeks.
He used the 10 million to buy a large number of supplies and live in the dungeon.
A few years ago, he was still worried about what would happen, and the result was nothing dangerous.
There are only a few days left before the eighteen-year task assigned by the system.
In the past seventeen years, he has also sought a livelihood as a senior driver.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
At the door, there was a violent knock.
"Coming, coming, who." Yu Xing kicked away the bottle that stood in the way, and walked to the door with a big stride.
When I opened the door, there was a young man standing in front of the door, wearing a red maintenance suit.
"Liu Qi...... What's the matter, what's the matter with me. Yu Xing knew him and was an employee of the garage.
His grandfather was also a senior driver, and he was a fellow traveler.
Sometimes I have problems with the car, and I will ask him for help, and I get along with him several times, and the relationship is not bad.
Seventeen years have passed, and for Yu Xing, this is already his second home.
"Hehe, Brother Xing, you're over on vacation today, right?"
Liu Qi said with a grin, and ran over to stop Yu Xing's shoulder.
"Well, what's wrong." Yu Xing took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out one and put it in his mouth.
Liu Qi leaned over very well and took out the lighter, and helped Yu Xing light a cigarette.
"That...... Brother Xing, when you go out on a mission in the afternoon. Can you take me and Duoduo with you? ”
"It's the New Year, what are you running around." Yu Xing spat out a cloud of mist and picked up his license plate from the table on his own.
"Isn't it still a flower...... She has never been outside to see, and this year's New Year has been begging me to take her out to see the world. ”
"Brother Xing, don't worry, we will take care of the clothes ourselves, and if you repair the car in the future, I will give you a 20% discount."
Liu Qi followed behind Yu Xing inch by inch, constantly pleading.
"Okay, okay, I promised, don't make trouble for me when I go up."
Yu Xing was annoyed by the big head, which was really not a big deal, so I had to agree.
"Brother Xing, that's it, I'll see you later. I'm going to pick up my sister from school. ”
Seeing that the matter was done, Liu Qi waved his arm excitedly, and ran away as if he was afraid that he would regret the rest of his sentence.
"Stinky Boy ......"
Yu flicked his cigarette ash and opened his closet, which contained only two or three worn-out change of clothes.
The salary of a senior driver is not low, but his habit of smoking and drinking really can't be broken.
But in the current situation, tobacco and alcohol are much more expensive than ordinary supplies.
Yu Xing's face froze, and he hurriedly rummaged in the closet. His "clothes" are gone!
The Earth has been traveling for seventeen years and is almost on the course of Jupiter. The surface climate has deteriorated severely, and the temperature has even dropped to minus 80 degrees.
Without the protection of protective clothing, humans simply cannot survive on the surface.
"! Stealing it from Lao Tzu's head. ”
My own protective clothing was stolen! Yu Xing has also lived in the dungeon for seventeen years, and it is clear what kind of goods are in it.
In the dungeon, there are indeed gangsters who manage a chess and card room, which is already a good entertainment place in the dungeon.
Their hands and feet are not clean, and they often do things like stealing chickens and dogs, especially protective clothing.
Rent or sell stolen protective clothing for a lot of profit.
As long as you don't provoke yourself, Yu Xing will turn a blind eye.
"It's time to move your muscles, too."
Yu Xing closed the cabinet door with a bang and looked at the alarm clock hanging on the wall.
There are still batches of goods to be delivered at three o'clock in the afternoon, and now at half past twelve at noon, there is still time.
"Boss, come to a bottle of two pots of spicy dried earthworms, don't mix it with water, otherwise it will smash your stall."
Yu Xing casually threw two energy canisters onto the counter.
Now it's basically barter, energy!
"Okay, it's a punishment, you don't feel at ease when I do business, but I've always been honest."
Passing by the grocery store, Yu Xing also specially bought a bottle of wine and some food to keep for when he was working.
The narrow streets are full of people, and the atmosphere of the New Year seems to be very lively.
"Yo~ I said where did Liu Qi, this stinky boy, get clothes, it turned out that he also had the idea here."
From a distance, Yu Xing saw Liu Qi walking into the chess and card room with Han Duoduo.
Yu Xing was not in a hurry, so he found a public bench to sit on on the street outside the chess and card room, and opened a pack of dried earthworms.
After 17 years of wandering on the earth, due to the influence of the climate, food reserves are gradually insufficient, and human beings are forced to seek new food, that is, earthworms.
At first, I didn't adapt to the rest of the sentence, but now I am used to it.
In the chess and card room, Liu Qizheng used a bag of seventy percent new empty cans to rent two sets of clothes from the first brother, that is, the boss of the chess and card room.
Energy canisters can be used repeatedly, and most of them are picked out from the canisters that the owner doesn't want when Liu Qi repairs the car.
"Brother Yi's card is the same as the real thing. That brother, I'll go first. ”
After changing into protective clothing, Liu Qi pushed Han Duoduo's back and urged her to leave quickly.
"Remember to return your clothes tomorrow." The first brother retracted his gaze disappointedly, he originally wanted to tease Han Duoduo, but he reminded him casually and sat back on the sofa.
"Oh...... Duoduo, let's go. ”
Liu Qi was sloppy and walked faster. He had no intention of coming back.
"Aren't you coming back?" When he walked to the door, Han Duoduo couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Wait......"
The first brother suddenly stopped Liu Qi, "Not coming back?" Just your little thing, you want to trick me with two clothes. ”
Outside the chess and card room, Yu Xing had already eaten a bag of dried earthworms.
"Why hasn't it come out yet?" Yu Xing muttered, crumpled the garbage bag into a ball, and threw it into the trash can by shooting.
I took out the cigarette from my bosom again, and was about to light one.
There was a loud bang from the chess room.
"Bang!"
"I'll go, the stinky boy is going too far." The corners of Yu Xing's mouth curled, and Liu Qi seemed to have done what he was going to do.
What followed was a burst of chaotic shouting and scolding, Liu Qi pulled Han Duoduo and rushed out of the door.
