"Hey, Brother Bai Qi?"

"Brother, what are you thinking? It's already greenlight. ”

The cries of Xue Yuhan and Zhuge Xiaoqiang made Bai Qi come back to his senses from his surging thoughts, and when he looked up, the Awakening Master had long since disappeared.

"I must become an Awakened Master, and one day, I will control my own destiny, no longer be protected by others, but gallop on the battlefield like those Awakened Masters." Bai Qi said silently in his heart.

Every teenager has a dream in his heart, and different dreams are born in response to different backgrounds of the times. In the era of peace, what we hope for is to make a fortune and become well-off, while in the era of war, we hope for peace and self-improvement to get rid of pain and suffering.

Walking across the zebra crossing, go straight is Nansha District, that is, the residential area, which is divided into a small landscape garden and a low-rent housing community.

As the name suggests, Shanshui Xiaozhuyuan is a high-class residential area, and each house is a small bungalow. The low-rent housing community is prepared by the government for the poor households with the minimum living security level in the city.

Across the Central Boulevard, on one side is a paradise with excellent infrastructure and capital immersion, close to the second and third suspension bridges leading to the Central City, so that you can retreat and escape in times of war. On the other side is the outdated infrastructure, desperately struggling to survive at the bottom.

To put it bluntly, it is the social class that determines the size of the right to live.

At the entrance of the low-rent housing community, a middle-aged man with a yellow balance is selling watermelons next to the truck.

Since there is no greenhouse base in Seven Bridges City, the fruits are purchased and resold from other base cities, which makes the seasonal fruit trading quite profitable, but it is often accompanied by life-threatening dangers.

Because there is no life safety guarantee in the transportation corridor between the two cities, I don't know when I will encounter an attack by a strange beast or enter the area occupied by a strange beast, resulting in the private transportation industry is often walking in the ghost gate.

The middle-aged man had a gentle smile on his face when he saw Bai Qi and the three of them coming.

Bai Qi and the three looked at the man, and they also smiled happily.

This man is Xue Bufan, a man who often travels on the line of life and death and struggles to earn hard-earned money for his three children, and a man who supports a family to shelter the three of them from the wind and rain with his own strength!

"School?" Xue Bufan asked warmly.

"Yes, Uncle Xue (Dad)."

"Uncle Xue, let's help you."

"No, you're tired from a day of school, go back and rest."

"It's fine." Bai Qi didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves and walked over to help Xue Bufan carry the watermelon and weigh it.

Zhuge Xiaoqiang was weaving plastic belts on the side to bundle the weighed watermelons, while Xue Yuhan was responsible for helping to collect money and change.

"Lao Xue, your child is so well-behaved."

"Yes, the boy is handsome, the girl is handsome, and they are both so sensible, it's really enviable!"

"But no, if that kid in my family is half as sensible as they are, I won't have to worry about it."

The uncles and aunts who came to buy melons constantly praised and praised the three of Bai Qi, and Xue Bufan, as a parent, was naturally full of pride. Which parent doesn't want their children to be excellent and sensible, and after hearing the praise of others, they feel that their own family is good, and gold is not exchanged for silver.

Everyone's impression of Xue Bufan is also very good. Xue Bufan is honest in business, and he will not sit on the ground because of the hard-won fruits, so that the neighbors of low-rent housing can afford it.

Of course, it is also because of this reason that the interests of some people are touched. There are always people who blame Xue Bufan for not being able to do the fruit business, instead of introspecting their own problems, always thinking about how to maximize their own interests, and ignoring whether others can afford to consume, and constantly raising prices.

Then when he saw that Xue Bufan's business was booming, he was blushing, always looking for faults and adding blockages, and secretly did everything. maliciously slandering, and even hiring murderers to teach people a lesson.

But Xue Bufan set an example, teaching his children that "poverty cannot be moved, and power cannot be bent", cultivating good children's character from an early age, and inheriting fine traditional virtues.

Earn money, don't be at ease, but ask for a clear conscience. The same is true of being a human being, so as not to have a long night and many dreams without conscience.

Bai Qi and the three of them didn't understand these things when they were children, and when they watched others come to destroy Xue Bufan's stall, they only instinctively felt afraid.

And in order to protect his children, Xue Bufan's weak body suddenly became majestic, and he endured the beating of the villains, but he never fell, and the care of his open hands was so great!

This is also one of the reasons why Bai Qi will later become the overlord of Dongcheng. He remembered every account, and yesterday when he was still weak, he was regarded as a mustard that could be easily trampled on. Now he has become a king, and he is bound to avenge yesterday's revenge, trampling on the evil forces like ants.

Now, no one dares to find fault anymore. Bai Qi's might, coupled with Zhuge Xiaoqiang's resourcefulness, has taught those people to obey and dare not do anything again.

At this time, the sun had already set, and seeing that the watermelons in the truck were almost sold out, Xue Bufan showed a satisfied smile and said happily to Bai Qi and the three of them: "Okay, you guys go back first, and I'll deal with the rest." ”

"Uncle Xue, I'll stay here and help you clean up." Zhuge Xiaoqiang took the initiative.

"Okay, Xiaoqiang, you stay here to help, Yuhan and I will go back to cook first." Bai Qi said.

"Okay."

So, Bai Qi and Xue Yuhan went home first.

When you enter the low-rent housing community, you can see that the land use rate is reaching the limit. Each residential building resembles a giant square concrete column, and the spacing between the residential buildings is designed with sunlight in mind.

And when it was built here, the government, out of strategic considerations, used this place as an artificial barrier to delay the beasts attacking the Central City during the war, so as to buy time for the bridge to the Central City to be hoisted.

And at the beginning of the construction, there was no elevator designed here, considering the residents' own financial ability, and the price of electricity is very expensive, so it was abandoned.

This also greatly rationalizes the allocation of resources for urban power supply, after all, the urban defense external network always relies on the power grid to prevent foreign beasts from approaching, and the nanopipes above high-rise buildings also have electrostatic layers to prevent birds from attacking.

Therefore, the whole country and even the whole world are in urgent need of electricity.

Because the hydropower stations are almost built on the mountain and by the water, they are in the natural environment, so most of the hydropower stations have been occupied by foreign beasts. Only a handful of strategically important hydropower plants are still in human hands, preventing floods and destroying homes.

As for nuclear power plants, countries around the world have banned their operation, and the cost of a nuclear accident has reached a point that humanity cannot afford.

In a blink of an eye, Bai Qi and Xue Yuhan went downstairs to their house, which was a 20-story residential building. And 20 floors in a building is already the limit of a tall building. Because Baipu District was an ocean in the Archean period, and the geology contained sandy layers, the stratum load was limited, and 20 layers were already the limit.

Immediately, Bai Qi stepped up four steps, his movements were swift, and he reached the second floor in the blink of an eye.

Xue Yuhan was not to be outdone, taking three steps and making two steps, and moving at a high frequency to catch up.

3rd floor, 4th floor...... 8th floor, 9th floor......

Both of them are fast, easy and flexible, after all, this is a building that has been climbed for more than 10 years. From time to time, they turn sideways to move out of the way of other residents who have climbed the stairs.

"Bai Qi, after school?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhang." Bai Qi's breath is not the slightest disorder, as the king of fighting, first of all, he has extremely strong endurance. Only when you resist the beating first can you beat others. So for this level of exercise, it's not a problem.

"Yuhan, slow down."

"It's okay, Uncle Zhang." Xue Yuhan's breath that followed was a little disorderly, after all, she was a girl, no better than Bai Qi, and it was already good to barely be able to keep up with him.
