27 Slum Encounters (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
After several days of training, it was finally time for a day off. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Summer Night decided to go to the slum where I had lived before, and familiarize myself with the environment of Estuary City on the way.
The predecessor lived in the slums for nearly a decade, with limited range of activities and little knowledge of the vast estuary city.
After saying hello to Reina, Summer Night went out alone.
There is no need to worry about retaliation, under the supervision of the city government and the strict control of the garrison, no one dares to rashly seek trouble, unless they don't want to stay here, obviously there is no enemy who has reached this level of hatred in the summer night.
The force value of the other world is off the charts, but the order and coordination in the city is also very reasonable, and in the estuary city, the government is still the most powerful organization on the surface.
Located in the western part of the estuary, the slum is a low-rise complex of buildings carved out by the city government, which is in disrepair and is in a dilapidated state, and the people who live here are either poor and widowed or unemployed.
After getting off the tram, Summer Night stood in front of one of the entrances to the slums, remembered the road, and walked forward.
At first, it was still a concrete floor, although the low houses outside were slightly old, but they were also intact, shelter from the wind and rain was not a problem, and the pedestrians occasionally met on the road were in good spirits and walked in a hurry.
Although this section belongs to the slums, the people living in this section are office workers with incomes below average, and it is not a problem to support themselves, and the only way to have a spacious place to live is here.
Two steps further inside, you can see that the walls of the houses have become mottled and blackened by smoke, and there are some scattered sheds, the ground is starting to become potholes, and garbage of all sizes is everywhere.
In the morning, you can see some people in tattered clothes, or hobbling or typing in front of the portal. These people are not bad, at least although the residence is broken, there is still a place to stay.
Like the predecessor of Summer Night, he had to work hard for his livelihood every day, and finally he was forced to go outside the city to collect medicinal herbs, intending to go to the raw material trading center to exchange some money.
There is no electromagnetic network outside the city, and there are alien beasts and mutant creatures everywhere, and the risks are huge, and it is simply a gamble for life. This is also the reason why the predecessor simply joined the gang after being taken away by the thieves, and the future is also bright, at least there is food and shelter.
Most of the budget in the border cities is spent on defending against invasions, so there is a lack of social welfare, and the government has no time to take care of the poor people, and it is impossible to travel to other cities, and the cost of long-distance transportation is too high.
For example, from Estuary City to Sky City, the capital of the Southern District, there is no transfer of transportation on the way, and only by taking a direct flight aircraft can it be reached, and the single ticket price is 5 million. As long as you know that the purchasing power of money in this world is roughly equivalent to that of Huaxia, you will know what a terrible number this is, and many people have never left the city where they grew up in their lives.
"This is it. ”
Standing in front of a ruined wall on a summer night, it was originally a three-story house, but it was reduced to ruins after a certain invasion of foreign beasts, and it was also the place where the predecessor lived, and an iron plate leaned on the corner of the wall formed a rather small room, and now only a few blue plastic bags could be seen swaying in the wind.
A dirty boy walked by, and Xia Ye immediately grabbed him and asked, "Hello, where have all the people who used to live here gone?"
The young man's eyes were angry, and he said indifferently: "What else can I do, I'm starving to death." ”
With that, he bypassed the summer night and left silently alone.
"Are they all starving? Summer Night muttered to herself, this is also a predictable result, if you can't really find food, why should the predecessor go to the city to take risks.
The predecessor was not familiar with those people, and they were competitors, but when I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart.
Jumping out of a backwater and into a vast river, the dangers you face are actually more numerous, but also more exciting.
After a long time, the little gloom hidden in my heart finally dissipated, and Xia Ye is now calm, and some are just greater expectations for the future after breaking through the shackles of fate.
There was no longer any concern, and there was no need to stay here in the summer night, and he returned the way he came, as still as water.
When he was about to leave the slum, Xia Ye's eyes suddenly lit up, and he actually saw someone he knew here.
"Claire!" called out to the girl who was about to open the door and enter the house.
The girl was wearing the usual attire, a slim shirt with a blue and white split, a skirt that covered her thighs was also dark blue, lilac hair, and a side face with a graceful curve, which still made Xia Ye recognize her at a glance.
"Summer Night, why are you here?" Halfway through the key, Claire turned around and looked at Summer Night in surprise, could it be that she was being followed.
Seeing that he was about to be misunderstood, Xia Ye immediately explained: "Actually, I used to live around here, and now I'm just here to take a look." ”
Claire nodded, Summer Night looked like she had come out of the slums, and she shouldn't be lying.
"Claire, you live here, but I was surprised. Xia Ye smiled, the cold aura on the girl's body was somewhat similar to those arrogant women from big families.
"I used to live here, and I haven't lived here since I joined Breath of the Wild, and I'm coming back with the intention of selling the house. Claire said as she opened the door.
"I remember that Breath of the Wild only offered accommodation for nine months of apprenticeship, if you sell your house, where will you live then?" asked Summer Night, confused.
Claire said: "My sister's place of work has allocated her a house in Dongcheng District, and I will live with my sister at that time." ”
In Estuary City, the companies that can assign houses to employees are all well-known companies and institutions, which makes Xia Ye quite envious, and he has to think about the future, nine months later, whether he passes the assessment or not, he needs a new place to live.
"It's a pleasure to meet, would you like to come in and sit down on a summer night? Claire invited.
Summer Night was about to shirk it, when she suddenly felt the ground under her feet begin to shake, and the amplitude was not large.
"What's going on, is it an earthquake?"
Claire also noticed the change, and the two looked at each other suspiciously.
"Estuary Castle is located in a location where it is almost impossible for an earthquake to occur, so in this case, it is very likely to be ......"
Claire was about to say her guess when a shrill siren suddenly came to mind, and the beep of "woo woo" instantly drowned out everything around her.
Several spaceships suddenly appeared over the city, and red flashing lights took up half of the sky.
"Alarm, alarm, C-level alien beast feathers broke through the outer defense line, and now it is only ten kilometers away from Hekou City, please prepare for the residents of Nancheng District. ”
Sirens echoed over the city.
