Chapter 2 I am a happy cleaner
After coming out of the Social Management Bureau, Yu Qing memorized the address message on the letter of introduction, and carefully put the letter of introduction in his pocket to avoid losing it.
"Jiangnan City Urban Cleaning and Environmental Protection Bureau - Beicheng Branch, located in the outer city of Beicheng, I am now in the south of Jiangnan City, how should I get there?"
Although Gangnam is a closed city surrounded by walls, it does not mean that it is small.
On the contrary, the size of the city is very large, and the distance from the south to the north of the city is dozens of kilometers in a straight line, and if there is no transportation, it will take at least a few hours to walk there.
But if you don't have money, how can you take transportation?
Yu Qing sighed, money is a bastard.
In a social society, money is the basis of all life.
There's no way, just run slowly.
After the revival of the aura, the physical fitness of human beings has been greatly improved, and it is not without problems to jog for a distance of tens of kilometers.
Maintaining a steady speed, not fast or dissatisfied, he kept running for more than half an hour, Yu Qing felt a little tired, so he extracted a 'Blood Qi Pill' from the system.
When the blood qi entered his stomach, it suddenly turned into a warm air current, flowing through Yu Qing's body, eliminating the exhaustion of his body and making his body full of strength again.
More than three hours of jogging.
Yu Qing felt that he was simply a man like the wind.
The Blood Qi Pill was decomposed from the corpse of the monster, and until now, Yu Qing had not fully figured out what the effects were, only that it could provide energy to the body and eliminate fatigue.
Gradually, Yu Qing left the city and came to the outer city.
The economy of the urban area is developed, so there are more high-rise buildings and more residents.
Unlike the urban area, because the outer city is on the outermost side of the city, close to the city wall, once there is a war, it must be the most front-line position, so people with money and status are not willing to live in the outer city.
Therefore, the buildings in the outer city are not dense, and they are not lined with steel, but are somewhat backward, with a large number of unfinished buildings.
The outer city is mostly a place for unemployed homeless people and gangsters to wander.
Jiangnan City Urban Cleaning and Environmental Protection Bureau-Beicheng Branch, just outside the Beicheng City, is a large courtyard.
When we arrived at our destination, it was already evening, and the sky was a little dark.
Yu Qing opened the letter of introduction, looked at the location in detail, and made sure that he was not in the wrong place before entering the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the yard, there was a pungent smell coming to my face, I can't tell what kind of feeling this smell is, some smelly, some fishy, and it makes people sick to their stomachs.
If you look closely, there is no beautiful scenery in this courtyard, and there are clearly garbage mountains one after another.
It's a garbage dump.
However, what the EPA does is to clean up the garbage, and the scenario in front of it is also in line with it.
In the vicinity of the mountain of garbage, more than 20 adults were rummaging through the garbage, picking up something from time to time.
Yu Qing knew that this garbage mountain was not as unbearable as it seemed, and it contained big business opportunities.
Especially now, with the rapid development of science and technology, some electrical appliances and furniture that cannot be used due to failure, modern people feel that it is too troublesome to go to the repair shop to repair, it is better to buy a new one, so there are many valuable things in the garbage dump.
"Who are you looking for?" In the garbage dump, a bald man saw Yu Qing and walked up to ask.
Yu Qing showed a sincere smile: "It was the Social Administration Bureau that arranged for me to work here, and I came to report." β
"It turned out that I was looking for Brother Zhang, let's go, I'll take you there." The bald man didn't doubt it, but he was a little surprised, what is the origin of this kid, and he can be assigned to work in the Environmental Protection Bureau?
You know, although the work of the Environmental Protection Bureau is a bit dirty and looks undignified, everyone knows that behind every dirty hand here, there is a lot of fat and oil.
Yu Qing followed the bald man to a low house in the garbage dump, "Boss Zhang is inside, you can go in and find him yourself, I have to go to work." β
Ignoring Yu Qing, he walked towards a mountain of garbage, muttering swear words like 'get out'.
Yu Qing knew that where he was going to work, he was clearly afraid that others would rob him of his things.
When you enter the room, the room is very large, and there is an office in it.
Yu Qing knocked lightly on the door.
"Please come in. The man in the room shouted.
Yu Qing pushed open the door and entered, there was only a middle-aged man in old clothes in the room, Yu Qing hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Zhang, I am here to report." β
Without waiting for Boss Zhang to react, Yu Qing handed over the letter of introduction to the work in his hand.
Boss Zhang looked at the letter of introduction, and after confirming that it was true, he smiled at Yu Qing: "My name is Zhang Quan, and I am the manager of the Beicheng Environmental Protection Bureau, you can call me Boss Zhang like them." β
Yu Qing was very good, nodded with a smile, and said, "Boss Zhang." β
The letter of introduction is true, even if Boss Zhang is reluctant to come to work here, he can't object at this moment, and Yu Qing works under him after all, so he naturally works for him.
So his voice was much softer: "Do you know how to drive?"
Drive?
Yu Qing thought about it, he could drive in his previous life, but now that science and technology are developing so rapidly, whether the current car will drive or not, it is really not certain.
But I can even drive a mecha, so the car should be fine.
"It's going to open. Yu Qing said.
Boss Zhang nodded: "That's good, what about the work here, it's easy to say, but it's not easy to say it's not easy." Since you know how to drive, it's easy to do. β
"There are now 34 people and 18 garbage trucks from the Beicheng Environmental Protection Bureau, and your job is to go to the designated area at 2 o'clock every night to collect garbage, and you must come back before 6 o'clock, so as not to disturb the normal operation of the city. β
"The garbage will be piled up in the dump, and every seven days there will be a garbage flying boat to load the goods and send the garbage to the wasteland. β
"Can you adapt to this kind of work?"
"Boss Zhang, I'm fine. Yu Qing made a guarantee.
Boss Zhang smiled: "Then let's talk about the salary, you will have four days of vacation every month, and the salary is three thousand federal dollars a month, if there is no problem, you can report here." β
Boss Zhang handed over a form on which he needed to fill in his identity information.
After the seal, Yu Qing will be a member of the Beicheng Environmental Protection Bureau.
Yu Qing quickly filled out the form.
After writing, Boss Zhang looked at it and said, "At six o'clock, there will be a garbage boat to dispose of the garbage, and you can go to work at that time." β
"Okay, Boss Zhang, then I'll go out first. Yu Qing said goodbye to Boss Zhang, and then left the house.
After walking around the junkyard and getting a feel for the environment, someone found him and assigned him a room.
The cleaning rooms of the garbage dump staff are all at the edge of the yard to prevent the normal operation of the garbage dump from being affected.
Yu Qing's room was very simple, a small two-story building, and there was nothing in it except for a bed and quilt.
Throwing the spare clothes he was carrying in the room, Yu Qing returned to the garbage dump again.
Around six o'clock in the afternoon.
A large, round-bellied spaceship flew over the junkyard and hovered in mid-air.
In the stern position, a wide conveyor belt is lowered.
Several men in military uniforms stepped out of the spaceship.
Boss Zhang greeted him with a smile on his face.
Because the distance is too far, Yu Qing is a newcomer, and it is impossible to participate, so I don't know what Boss Zhang and the others are talking about.
Boss Zhang talked with the soldiers led by him for a while, and then several industrial mechs entered the garbage dump and began to operate, and in front of these industrial mechas there was a huge shovel like an excavator, which put the garbage on the conveyor belt and transported it to the spaceship compartment.
The workers of the garbage dump all gathered around the perimeter and watched the scene.
"Unfortunately, there's a lot of value in there. β
"Every seven days, we have to transport a batch of garbage, and the time is too short to find all of it, so it would be nice if it took longer. β
"It's a little longer, and new garbage is coming in every day, can you let it go?"
"Cheap wasteland those rats. β
Yu Qing listened to everyone's words, shook his head and smiled.
It also now became clear to him that the cities built by the Federation were not the only places for humanity to live.
Due to some historical problems, there are still many remnants of the wasteland who are reluctant to enter the Federation living in the wasteland.
These remnants of the wasteland are either rebels or precarious refugees.
The wasteland is too dangerous, and there are too few ways to get survival supplies.
Therefore, the garbage transported into the wasteland by the Federation can be said to be a great hope for those remnants of the wasteland.
The living conditions of the residents of the federal cities are superior, and some things are broken and thrown away. After the garbage arrives at the Beicheng Environmental Protection Bureau, it will be searched by these staff members.
But even so, after the domestic garbage enters the wasteland, it will still be fought over by those wasteland remnants.
Just like those expired food and discarded clothes, Yu Qing's colleagues can't look down on them, but when they go to the wasteland, they are the most supple living resources.
Yu Qing walked near the garbage dump and picked up a worn-out watch-style communicator from the ground.
The communicator had been smashed flat and completely destroyed.

[Do you want to extract it?]
Looking at the mountains of garbage that are disappearing all over the mountains, Yu Qing is in a good mood.
Over here.
It will definitely help him become strong quickly.
How much solid waste is there in the city?
How many different types of stuff are in this garbage?
Yu Qing felt that as long as he lived here for a few months, with the help of the decomposition system, he would be able to obtain countless skill books.
Maybe.
It won't be long before Yu Qing becomes the most knowledgeable person in the Federation.
