Chapter 13 Cities & Enforcement
After tidying up the image a little, Fang Fang took Zhao Fei to the executive department to handle the application for admission to the department, but not long after leaving, Fang Ke bought two servings of burrito-like food in a roadside stall, and after stuffing one to Zhao Fei, he ate without any image.
The food in his hand, no matter how Zhao Fei looked at it, felt like the egg scones made by Uncle Wang downstairs, and the bread was sandwiched with vegetables and sausages that were quite luxurious for people who survived in the apocalypse.
Well, feeling the familiar taste of the sauce mixed with gutter oil in his mouth, this made Zhao Fei more sure of his conjecture: "Keke, this thing is egg scones...... right?"
Fang Ke chewed the egg scramble in his mouth and replied vaguely, "Hmm...... That's right...... It's just an egg scramble, eat it while it's hot, this thing won't taste good when it's cold......"
When the two of them held an egg scone in their hands and walked across the commercial street to the execution department, Zhao Fei finally had the opportunity to experience the customs of the apocalyptic city.
Walking in the noisy and bustling street market, there is an endless stream of people, pushing all kinds of snack trucks along the street and shouting, unlicensed hawkers selling pirated books and X-person toys, and those chengguan who fight wits and courage with hawkers......
This shopping street does not seem to be any different from the commercial street before the apocalypse, if there is any real thing, except for some old buildings with obvious traces of repair and assembly, it is the weapon shop mixed in with ordinary shops.
There was no precarious panic, nor was there the despair of being in the end of the world, looking at those merchants and pedestrians, the expressions on their faces, Zhao Fei suddenly had an illusion that he did not seem to be in the apocalyptic world, he was a little stunned and opened his mouth, but after all, he still did not ask the Fang Fang around him.
This is completely different from the apocalyptic scenes depicted in many novels, hunger, fear, despair, and the extremely inflated dark side of human nature after losing the shackles, in this city, no, in this commercial street, Zhao Fei can hardly see these things described in apocalyptic novels, the lives of these people...... It's as if you've never been affected by the apocalypse.
"Every time I see it, I feel emotional...... Ah Fei, you also think this is a very good view. Fang Fang took a bite of the egg scramble and looked at the bustling street with emotion: "At the beginning, people retreated here, that is, when the cultural city was not rebuilt, almost everyone was like a walking corpse, there was no hope for the future in their eyes, and they lost the constraints of the law, there would be violent bloodshed every day, and there would be many new corpses in the city every day...... Well, I used to think that our cities would gradually become what they were described in apocalyptic novels......"
Zhao Fei wisely did not talk, and quietly listened to Fang Fang's story about the stories and changes that have taken place in the city in the past few years.
"Whether it is the capable or the ordinary people, we all live in precarious fear, we can't eat hot food, and we don't dare to stay in a certain place for too long, because of death and fear, many people have begun to release their animal nature, the capable people rely on their own abilities to run rampant, and at that time there was a shortage of materials, people sold their dignity and even their bodies in order to get a little food, cold clothing, and during that time, the entire human civilization seemed to have degenerated, but, Before the city was rebuilt, no one thought that they would be able to live a life that was not too far apart......
Looking at Fang Fang with an emotional face, Zhao Fei also felt a little: "Yes, I didn't expect that I could live such a life, it's really ...... That's great......"
Zhao Fei was telling the truth, in fact, when he figured out the situation, he was already ready to sleep outside, not enough to eat and sleep well in the city, and face a dangerous life all the time, but what he didn't expect was that when he returned to the city, the situation in the city was better than he expected.
The state of the city is unexpectedly good, although Zhao Fei will not take what he sees in front of him and what Fang can say as the main factor in judging the state of the city, but such a city with an orderly existence and does not seem to be too short of materials has indeed won him a lot of favor.
"If the organization didn't appear, the city must also be in a state of chaos, and it's really funny to say, the executive department where the heroes gather now is actually established by a stupid dad with a group of like-minded and enthusiastic middle school teenagers who want to change the situation of the city."
The egg scones in his hands had turned cold, but Ke Ke didn't stop talking: "Cleaning up the demons entrenched in the cultural city, trying those who trample on order and committing the most heinous crimes, building defensive barriers, restarting and repairing public facilities that are still in use, ensuring that the transportation lines are cleaned and secured, reorganizing the urban area, etc., it was a time of exhaustion, but with the help of the authorities, the management of ZF officials, and our own efforts, the bad situation in the city finally began to improve, Then the Executive Department was established under the organization of the Agency, and the headquarters of the Executive Department was located in the city......"
"Now we can eat egg scones and not be bothered by the cold of the winter, most of them because they have worked so hard to get it, and without them, let alone whether we can open up transportation routes, and even whether the production sites where these daily necessities are made can be recaptured before the situation completely deteriorates, is a big question."
Fang Ke lightly recalled the past, but Zhao Fei knew that the things they had faced could not be as easy as he said, whether it was cleaning up demons or fighting with those who were extremely evil and powerful, this was a battle that only those who had the consciousness to fight for their lives would participate, and those who built defensive barriers, recaptured grain and vegetables, large pastures, repaired public facilities, etc., the difficulty would not be lower than the first two.
Along the way, I don't know how many partners they have lost, how many lives have been sacrificed to make this city what it is now, maybe at first they just made such a decision because of a moment of enthusiasm, but as time goes by, such enthusiasm may gradually become a belief in their own hearts, a hope for the future, or a desire to help and protect others, a heavy sense of responsibility as a capable person, guiding them to continue to move forward, Forging a path to the future from the midst of thorns, even at the cost of life.
Ask yourself, if Zhao Fei was in that era, maybe he could not be carried away by the sudden force, and he would not go with the flow to help others when they were evil, but he couldn't be like these people, stand up and confront them when order collapsed and crime was rampant, and even sacrifice himself for others and to create a better future, he knew very well that he was a selfish person, if it was up to him, it was likely to be silent, or go for the better.
"A person who wants to create a better future for the people he cares about, someone who uses this power to protect and help others because of his ability to be different from ordinary people, or someone who simply follows the aspirations of his heart...... Whatever kind of person they are, they ...... They should all be remembered, great heroes. ”
The crow, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said this, and his tone was also full of emotion.
[Yes, they are all heroes. Zhao Fei smiled helplessly, after he also had a general understanding of the past of the Cultural City, but it was even more of a headache [To be honest, with such a group of heroes, even if I want to take advantage of the welfare of the Executive Department to eat and wait for death, I will feel uneasy......]
"Okay, I've been pulling you around a lot along the way, but now it's finally here!" Fang Fang, who was originally walking side by side, suddenly patted Zhao Fei's shoulder, pointed to the building in front of him and said, "Welcome to the executive department that we are proud of, let's work next, after all, even I can't help with the entry review." ”
The location of the headquarters of the executive department is very wonderful, not only next to the bustling commercial street, but also the building of the headquarters is transformed from a bar, the building looks not so much retro, but rather a little dilapidated, there are several cracks on the outer wall, if it is not for the sign hanging on the building with the words "executive department headquarters", Zhao Fei can hardly believe that the headquarters of the executive department is actually located here.
Zhao Fei, who was temporarily out of the world, came back to his senses, looking at the building that was only two or three stories high and had been renovated, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so he adjusted the atmosphere and quipped: "Well, I'll work hard, I hope it's not too difficult to enter the department, otherwise I may have to live on the streets and become a beggar disciple." ”
"Hahaha! Don't worry, these assessments won't be too difficult for you, after all, you can single-handedly deal with the ability of opponents like mutant demons, let's go, don't keep them waiting! After speaking, Fang Fang pushed open the door and walked into the headquarters of the executive department first.
[I can say that there are many things that the members of the executive department need to be self-disciplined, so it should be a very serious atmosphere......]
Zhao Fei thought so, followed Fang Fang into the gate together, and then ...... He felt like he had stepped into a new world, and as soon as he entered the door, he was stunned by the noise that came to his face.
"Short-legged old horse, I'll go to your uncle! If I don't scold you for a day, will you feel uncomfortable! ”
"You stupid X Tangyuan, you dare to call me an old horse, you roll over for me, I promise not to kill you!"
"Brother Ma, you have to change your temper......"
"Wang Zhi! You turtle son and yin old man! ”
"Viagra, let's go, let's drink!"
"Help! Ma Jiajun is going to kill someone! ”
"Tang Yuan, I have to beat your uncle so much today that he doesn't even know you!"
At least the room of more than 100 square meters is filled with such noise, Zhao Fei can only distinguish a limited number of human words from these noises, well, how much can be distinguished basically depends on how loud these people's voices are, and it sounds like most of these people are full of righteous indignation, if only from these words, Zhao Fei feels that the members of the executive department do not seem to have a good relationship with each other, but when he crosses the party to see the scene in the room, he is even more sure of this.
The room was extremely chaotic, some people were chatting, bragging and farting, some people came back to trouble him because they were pitted by their teammates, and there were also people who shouted that their iron buddies were drinking together, but if you really want to say it, what attracted Zhao Fei's attention the most was the two men who were beating each other in the center of the room
No, it's not so much a fight against each other, but rather a short stature, short legs, long body, and a very bad temper The young man who looked very bad was pressing a tall round-faced young man to the ground and beating him violently, while the remaining dozens of members of the executive department were sitting on chairs and tables in twos and threes, drinking wine while smiling and watching the two fight.
"That's what you're proud of...... Execution? ”
Chaos, undisciplined, reckless, drinking in broad daylight, and opening the film without saying a word, such a chaotic scene completely shattered Zhao Fei's previous illusions about the executive department, where is this like a department that has cultivated batches of heroes, this is just like a gathering place for gangsters!
