Chapter 17: The Last Three Years (Part 3)

History has proven that the twenty-eight Evolutionary Articles, which occurred in the spring of the second year of the end times, had a profound impact on the entire earth. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the blink of an eye, the third year of the end times has come.

In the summer, as usual, at dusk, I returned to Springs with a bag of the day's harvest on my back.

In three years, everything has changed, the evolutionaries have risen strongly, and humanity has begun to establish a new order.

Evolvers get more advanced weapons, combat suits, and more systematic cultivation to become warriors and samurai.

Although the authorities did not explain the origin of these weapons, combat suits and cultivation methods, Summer guessed that it must be the dead zombie, who could not have crossed the galaxy with his physical body, and must have driven a starship to Earth.

The starship must be loaded with their planet's advanced weapons, technologies, cultivation methods and cheats, etc., and now these resources have fallen into the hands of major alliances and evolutionary groups.

The summer job changed from looking for food to finding all kinds of precious metals, and then selling the metal to recycling companies, from which they exchanged for currency, and then used the money to buy food.

Today's food is controlled by the military, who raise pigs from insect carcasses, grow grains with fertilizer from pigs, and use grains as a staple food for the people, gradually forming a fairly efficient cycle.

"Summer is back, how was today's harvest?" The people from the recycling company had already known Xia Xia well, and when they saw him walk in, they greeted him warmly.

"Generally, please give me an estimate." Summer said as he put his backpack full of metal on the ground.

Metal recycling companies have special machines, like the X-ray machines used in hospitals in the past, and the system automatically analyzes the weight and composition of the metal and gives a purchase price.

"Twenty-seven three hardware, or hit the card as usual?"

"Hmm."

Soon, Summer received a text message, and an income of 27.3 hardware entered his private account.

Today, the banking system and communication network have been restored, but at a high cost that ordinary people cannot afford to use.

In the summer, because I had to go to the field every day, I bought a satellite phone of the most basic model, which is a bit like the feature phone of the year, which is quite big and can only be used for making calls and sending and receiving text messages.

If you want to use satellite data, you also need to pay an expensive data fee, which is not available in the summer.

When I left the metal recycling company in the summer, the new young employee asked his predecessor in surprise, "Who is this?" Can you earn twenty-seven gold in one day? My monthly income is only 40 gold. ”

The old employee said disapprerovingly: "What is this, people are the best waste pickers in the city in summer, twenty-seven gold is really ordinary for him, at most once, I remember that he brought back more than a hundred gold worth of high-grade metal, and carried it in a huge military backpack of eighty liters." ”

"Earn a hundred gold a day? The scavenger is too good to do his job, right? The new employee exclaimed with wide eyes.

One hundred gold is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for three months, and the general salary of this year's work is very low, only thirty or forty gold per month, and the income of one day in summer can catch up with ordinary people for two or three months.

The old employee smiled and knocked on the little young head's head and said, "You look at the income in the summer, and your eyes are red?" It's better to take a look at those evolution warriors, people can still earn tens of thousands of gold a month, these years, how much ability to eat, how much to eat, honest and honest your work. ”

Leaving the metal recycling company, I bought two kilograms of pork hind leg meat in a food supplier's store in the summer for eleven gold per unit, one kilogram of rice for one gold per unit, plus a few vegetables, an apple, and another gold.

The young man of the metal recycling company only sees the income in the summer, but does not understand the appetite of the summer, two kilograms of pork is already the minimum amount of his daily diet, and because of this, although the income in the summer is high, there is no deposit at all.

Quancheng is still not much different from the beginning of the last days, but after the population has doubled several times and insects are no longer infested, the military has expanded the city wall outward little by little to expand the area of the city, but their speed of action is completely unable to keep up with the residents' demand for housing.

Summer, who still lives on the fifth floor of the old-fashioned neighborhood, comes home and knocks on the door.

"Brother Summer! Brother Summer is back! ”

It was Lu Xiaobei who opened the door, he was eleven years old and a head taller than before, Xia smiled and touched his head, and put the food he bought on the table.

Lu Xiaoqiao's mother greeted her with a smile, "Xiaobei, pour tea for your summer brother, and I'll go to the kitchen to cook." ”

Lu Xiaobei carefully brought Xia Fei a cup of tea, but he didn't leave, but lay beside Xia Xia, like a greedy kitten.

"Give." Summer took out two fruit candies from his pocket, Xiaobei cheered and shouted long live, ran to the kitchen and took out a knife, carefully divided the candy into four parts, put a small one in his mouth, and then made a smacking sound.

"Don't be too used to Xiaobei, it's not easy to eat these days, why spend money indiscriminately." Lu Xiaoqiao's mother said in the kitchen.

Summer smiled and didn't say anything.

In the spring of the second year, when the twenty-eight articles were issued, one of them limited the per capita living space of the city to ten square meters, and the property rights of all buildings in the city were confiscated by the authorities.

In the summer, he was very worried, if according to the regulations, there were five people living in his small house of 60 square meters, and so many people were together, his situation would become very unsafe and could be exposed at any time.

And at this time, the Lu family was also worried, their house was 90 square meters, and according to the regulations, three more strangers had to live in.

Others said that Lu Xiaoqiao was only seventeen years old that year, which was the age when she was ready to let go, in case the people who moved in did something to her, how could she cope with her sick mother and lame father?

So, moving in with the Lu family in the summer became a reasonable choice.

As for the fact that the five of them lived in 60 square meters, which was 10 square meters more than the regulations, it was solved in the summer with the harvest brought back from the ruins to give gifts.

Lu Xiaoqiao's father is disabled, and Lu Xiaobei is a child, in fact, he meets the preferential treatment standards of the community management committee, but if you don't give them gifts, the preferential treatment will never fall by itself.

After drinking a cup of tea in the summer, he watched Lu Xiaobei write his homework for a while, and then returned to his own room.

The Lu family had no problem with having a separate room in the summer, because in the most difficult years at the beginning of the apocalypse, it was because of the care of the summer that the Lu family survived.

Now in the summer, he has a room, Lu Xiaobei and Lu Xiaoqiao live in one, and Lu's parents sleep in the living room.

Summer sat down at the table, lit a cigarette, and smoked slowly.

I can't tell who helped whom, the summer gave the Lu family food, and the Lu family gave the summer meticulous care, since the Lu family moved in, not even a single sock was washed in the summer, and the house was always cleaned.

Every day when he goes out in the summer, Lu Xiaoqiao's mother will make him a day's lunch, which is very delicious, much better than squatting alone in the ruins and nibbling on cold cans in the summer.

He had been alone since his parents were in a car accident in the summer, and now, he felt the warmth of home again, and in this cold and gloomy last days, the feeling of home was especially precious.

Extinguishing the cigarette butt, Summer picked up a blank form on the table, the application form for this year's Evolution Warrior Assessment.

Shaking his left arm, with this left arm with dark power, Xia Xia could have already become a privileged class in this last world, but he has a hard time, no matter how strong his left arm is, no one can know that the path of a warrior can only be achieved with his right arm that does not have dark power.

Summer bowed her head and, with a pen, signed her name on the form.

Applicant, summer.
