Chapter 149: The inhabitants are divided into four classes
The inspection on shore was very meticulous and the formalities were cumbersome, but the accompanying crew members were used to it, patiently obeyed the arrangement, and waited on the sidelines. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"No problem." After ten minutes of busy work in the cabin, two inspectors in white biochemical suits waved behind them, and the search team immediately let them go, but another team came to stop Hou Jie and the others.
"What does this mean? Do you want tolls? ”
Hearing Hou Jie's question, Zhang Deng shook his head into a rattle, "No, no, hey, no one under President Yang dares to mess around, as long as we pay taxes according to the regulations, I won't tell you, today is still the first time I pay taxes for Lao Zhang, and I haven't even touched the bottom line of taxes every time I harvest before." ”
Hou Jie listened inexplicably, according to what Boss Zhang said all the way, the entire Paradise Island and Jiangxin Island belong to the Far Salvation Association, and they are all from the President Yang, he can take whatever he wants, he can do anything, since everyone's lives and property are his, why bother with any tax system?
Of course, Hou Jie knew that he couldn't figure it out that it was his own problem, and people would not be more stupid than him if they could establish such a huge force in half a year, so he asked curiously: "Then what are these people stopping us for?" ”
"Steamed buns." Zhang Deng rubbed his hands excitedly, and his team members also stuck out their tongues and licked their lips, salivating.
"Steamed buns?" Hou Jie was stunned, and without waiting for Zhang Deng's explanation, the team that stopped them brought steamed buns that had just been steamed out of the pot, wrapped them in paper, and distributed them to those who landed.
"Welcome home." A girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old was holding a steamed bun and solemnly handed it to Hou Jie.
Hou Jie took the steamed bun in a daze, feeling the warmth in his palm, and the cold heart in his chest was also heating up.
"Home?" The voice in my heart somehow ran out of my throat.
"Well, welcome back to our common home." The girl smiled gently and generously, and her not-so-feminine facial features suddenly showed a touching beauty as the smile bloomed.
Family......
Since the first day of the disaster, this concept has been shattered, and in more than a hundred days and nights of loneliness and loneliness, only accompanied by pain, Hou Jie has long forgotten what it is like to go home. Now the hot steamed bun in his hand seems to make Hou Jie recall that going home is a warm feeling.
With a sour nose and a blocked throat, Hou Jie sniffed, feeling ridiculous for his gaffe, this must be a means used by the Far Salvation Society to win people's hearts! The world is as black as a crow, how can there be a ruling class that really takes into account the feelings of the people, and does such things just for better exploitation, it must be so.
Even thinking so in his heart, looking at the girl's watery eyes staring at him, full of anticipation, Hou Jie still raised the steamed bun and took a bite.
After taking this bite, Hou Jie finally understood why Zhang Deng and his crew were so excited just now, and they would gobble up the steamed buns like that.
It's really ...... It's so delicious. Hou Jie has never eaten such fragrant and delicious steamed buns in his life, and his taste buds stretch and bloom like petals, which is simply beyond the limit of a steamed bun.
Watching Hou Jie finish eating the steamed bun in three or two bites, the girl showed a relieved expression, and said to Hou Jie again: "Hard work, welcome home." ”
"Thank you." Hou Jie stared at the empty oil paper in his hand, still unsatisfied, "That, this steamed bun, is there anything else?" ”
"Every time I go out to hunt and scavenge waste, when I come back and land on the shore, this is the rule." Zhang Deng leaned over and explained with a smile, dispelling the embarrassment on the girl's face, "Everyone has to eat this steamed bun to enter the Star of Hope, and sending a steamed bun is to fill our stomachs, sweep away our hunger, and welcome us back to the Star of Hope family." ”
I see. Hou Jie nodded thoughtfully, he probably knew what this steamed bun was for. According to Mr. Qiu's research, mutants only like human flesh, and even the meat of cattle, mutton, pork or other animals will be uncomfortable if they are forcibly fed chocolate, roasted wheat and other foods, and even if they eat it, the mutants will spit out irrepressibly.
In the same way, steamed buns are made from fermented flour, and there is no trace of flesh and blood in them, no matter how well they are made, the mutants are difficult to swallow, and they will vomit when they eat them.
Then those who eat steamed buns are pure humans, and those mutants who have the ability to disguise themselves as normal people in appearance will behave abnormally here.
Look around at the cannon bunkers, watchtowers, and coast guards, and know with your toes what happened to the exposed mutants.
"It's really clever, separating the inspection work, inspecting the items first, and then checking the people, so that the mutants with unknown circumstances can relax their vigilance, and they also use this method secretly, enveloping people's hearts, and even I was almost moved." Hou Jie thought to himself, "This mysterious President Yang is an old fox, no wonder Mr. Qiu asked me to come to him, I originally thought he just had what Mr. Qiu wanted, but now it seems that ......"
Following Zhang Deng all the way to the steel gate more than four meters high, a soldier dressed in black and holding a rifle walked out of the guard queue, saluted, and said, "Please show your ID, thank you!" ”
Do you want to see an ID card? Hou Jie blinked, everything on this island surprised him, such as the soldier who stopped him and asked him to show his ID, not wearing a military uniform, but a capable and avant-garde black battle suit, with a cross-shaped sword the size of a small thumb embroidered on the neckline, with the figure of a young soldier, walking on the street before the disaster was definitely 200% of the turnaround.
Zhang Deng patted his head, sighed, and said: "I forgot this, Mr. Hou, those who land on the island for the first time have to register for a temporary residence permit, but you can rest assured, with your strength, it is a matter of one sentence to want to stay in the star of hope, and you can do a test to show your strength in a while, at least you can immediately become a second-class resident, and you will be assigned a suite, which can take a hot shower!" ”
Being able to take a hot bath is a great luxury for those who are struggling at the bottom, but it is nothing to Hou Jie, but it is the second-class resident who makes him interested.
"What is a second-class resident?"
"Well, this, the civilians who settle in the Star of Hope are divided into four classes, and the treatment of the first-class residents is the most superior, generally the awakened or the people who have made great contributions to the Star of Hope for the Far Salvation Society, basically there is nothing missing on the island as a first-class resident; Second-class residents are generally the families of the core members of the Far Rescue Association and the families of martyrs, as well as ordinary residents who have performed well and have been promoted. And then there are the third-class residents, I am the third-class residents, I have to find a way to make a living, it is not easy, thanks to Chairman Yang's understanding of us little people, the policies introduced in the past month are inclined to our third-class residents, so that our lives are getting better and better. When Zhang Deng said this, his face was full of admiration, and the blind could see that this Boss Zhang had become a brain-dead fan of President Yang of the Far Rescue Association.
"What about the fourth-class residents?"
"Those are all wrongs or violations of the regulations and are deprived of status, fourth-class residents only have temporary residence qualifications, if the temporary residence permit expires and fails to make up the fine or make up for the merits, they will be expelled from the island, and the end will be miserable." Zhang Deng said, "Hey, it's here, then Mr. Hou, you go to register first?" I'll be waiting for you outside. ”
Hou Jie nodded and walked into the registration office.
