Chapter 2 Freedom
"This broken car is driven by a person! I've told the dean many times that I need to change it, and she always says she has no money!! Uncle Wang, the head of the canteen, the head chef and the head of the meal, opened his mouth and scolded, interrupting Kang Ming's thoughts.
After careful experience, the suspension engine of the purchased car is very unstable, and occasionally it will mop the floor intermittently, and the comfort is indeed very poor, no wonder Uncle Wang is so annoyed.
"I said, Uncle Wang, you often go to the metropolitan center to purchase, where do you think it's the most fun?" Kang Ming felt that the topic of cars could not continue, so he simply found a topic I wanted to know to attract his attention.
"Hahaha, boy, you're asking the right person, let me tell you, I've been living near the metropolitan center since I was young, and I've been to all kinds of strange and interesting places." As soon as Uncle Wang heard this question, his eyes lit up instantly, and he began to talk endlessly: "If you want to say it's fun, it must be the mecha fighting hall on First Street, every weekend night, thousands of people will go to the mecha fighting hall, some people are simply going to watch the game, some people will bet on gambling, the whole stadium is very lively, that guy, that formation, I'm not blowing with you, there is absolutely no other place." Not only are the mecha fights exciting and bloody, but there are always a few young people who fight because of the game at the end of the night every night, and watching hand-to-hand combat is no worse than watching mecha fighting! ”
Listening to Uncle Wang's crackling talk, Chang Kangming's eyes widened and shone brightly. Mecha fighting. He hadn't heard this word before, and he blamed the orphanage for being closed to news, and the outside world was really exciting!
"Wow! I feel thrilled just by listening to it! Uncle Wang, tell me more about mecha fighting! "Such an exciting thing can't simply let Uncle Wang go.
"Okay, okay, what are so many questions, when you have time, let's take a look at it yourself, what's there to ask." Uncle Wang is really still Uncle Wang, and he only said a few words of lazy nonsense.
Seeing Uncle Wang's attitude, Kang Ming couldn't say anything to hit the muzzle of the gun.
With the sound of Uncle Wang's scolding of the car, the purchase car slowly moved forward, and the scenery behind the car slowly changed from the pastoral style to lively, and more and more high-rise buildings and fancy virtual projection billboards began to come into view. Kang Ming's eyes widened and he looked at everything around him, it turned out that the center of the science city was like this.
All kinds of towering gray buildings, from time to time there are huge winged aircraft shuttling through the buildings, there are three-dimensional projection advertisements in the buildings in the distance, and simple neon lights are layered and scattered. On the ground, there are hovering cars of different shapes driving at high speed, and people are dressed in a variety of colors, some are clean and simple solid color plastic clothes, some are brightly colored silk yarn clothes, and even a few are electronic clothes that can change colors. What a dazzle him!
The purchase cart slowly drove into the building with the words "Trade Place" on it, and then stopped.
"Okay, boy, when you get to the place, you can get off, this is 15th Street, you go there all the way to 16th Street." Uncle Wang pointed in the direction.
Kang Ming grabbed his backpack and opened the door and got out of the car, thanked Uncle Wang and left the trading field.
Take a deep breath of the not-so-pure air and savor it, well! That's the taste of freedom!
A street is not close, but it is not far, and Kang Ming came to 16th Street while walking, and it didn't take much effort to find 506 16th Street with a wide alloy gate.
"Eh.. Hello, my name is Cumming, and I came here from Morgan Orphanage. Cumming pressed the call doorbell next to the door and said cautiously.
"You don't need to press it, no one can hear that thing, you can talk to whoever you want." As soon as he finished speaking, a man with white hair and a security uniform walked out of the hut next to the gate.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my name is Cumming, and I'm working here from Morgan Orphanage." I can only repeat what I have just said.
"Generally, there will be a voucher card for the introduction to work, have you brought it?" The old man looked at Kang Ming and said slowly.
He hurriedly rummaged through his backpack and handed the card that Aunt Jenny had given him through the alloy door to the old man.
"Okay, you wait for me, I'll verify it." The old man took the card and walked slowly back to the hut next to him.
"Isn't it just a job? Why are you doing so seriously, it's really troublesome. Kang Ming couldn't help but complain, standing at the gate all the time really looked like a fool.
"Click.. Click: Click.." Within two minutes, the door slowly shifted to the sides and opened.
"Come in, take this card to the office on the second floor to find Zhao Jietong." The old man poked his head out of the hut and said.
"Eh, uncle, I don't know what this place is for, can you tell me about it?" I asked tentatively, the old man seemed quite kind.
"Didn't the person who introduced you tell you? This is the mecha repair shop on the 16th Street, and the mecha of the 16th Street come here to repair any problems. The old man returned in his own slow tone.
"! Mecha repair shop, isn't that the exciting mecha battle that Uncle Wang said?! Hearing the old man's answer, Kang Ming was excited in his heart and secretly thought, after all, how can there be a man who is not interested in mechas, if Chen Gou knows about mecha fighting, he must be clamoring to see it every day. Although he was excited, he still said calmly on the surface: "So that's the case, thank you, uncle!" ”
"You're welcome, go up, it's time to get off work after a while." The old man went back to the hut and closed the door.
Kang Ming responded and hurried to the second floor of the building.
"This should be it, right?" Looking at the office door in front of me, I knocked on the door uncertainly. "Hello, is anyone here?"
"Come in!" As I knocked on the door, a deep, deep voice came from inside the door.
Pushing open the door, I saw a tall and burly man sitting on the sofa, his hair tied up, smoking a cigar while flipping through the information on the projection in front of him. The man saw Cumming come in, closed the papers, and asked, "You came to work at Morgan Orphanage, right?" ”
"Ah, yes, my name is Cumming, and I just came out of Morgan's orphanage today." For some reason, it was just a simple question, but Kang Ming felt invisible pressure in the tone of this man named Zhao Jietong.
"This is the Sixteenth Street Mech Repair Factory, you'll be working here for the next two years, remember, honestly, this is not Morgan's Orphanage, you will be punished for making mistakes." Zhao Xie said to Kang Ming without raising his head. "My name is Zhao Jietong, I am the person in charge here, you go to the warehouse on the first floor to find the warehouse manager Amu, and he will tell you what to do."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Director Zhao, I'll go down first." After saying that, Kang Ming immediately exited the office, he felt a stronger sense of oppression than just now, and the inexplicable desire to survive made him not want to stay in this room and with this man for another second.
When he went downstairs, Kang Ming felt that this repair shop seemed to be off work, empty, only the remains of various mecha were piled up on the workbench, although he was very interested in those wreckage, he still subconsciously walked towards the back door, for fear of violating Zhao Jietong's order.
