Chapter 239: Accepting the Arrangement
Lives are gone, what's the use of complaining? Useless!
Wen Hua didn't even think about it, with an extremely flattering smile on his face, he closed the backpack with food.
"Nothing special, gentlemen."
Nangong Yi and Bai Ze couldn't help but glance at each other. Two men who are very different in age think at the same time that one thing has not changed: whether in this new world or in the previous world; Without enough power, a person can be ridiculed and even humiliated.
If it weren't for Bai Ze taking the initiative to show his ability, would Wen Ru have become what she is now? Of course he won't. I'm afraid that at this time, Bai Ze and Nangong Yi's things will be confiscated, and there will be no place to cry.
The public opinion complaints before the outbreak of the end times and the collapse of the old society are basically useless, not to mention that now the society has fallen and the world is in chaos. Basically, as long as it does not involve the interests of the superiors and does not cause too much commotion, they can do whatever they want.
Bai Ze couldn't help but feel that it was a pity that Shangguan Bingxue couldn't witness it with his own eyes. He really wanted Shangguan Bingxue to see that the camps set up by the government police force were full of gray areas.
Immediately afterward, the two men also carefully closed the backpack containing the high-calorie food, and then left the table, fearing that the contents of the bag would kill them.
"Gentlemen, please fill out this form." Wen Hua walked to a modest desk, took out a few documents, and handed them to Bai Ze and Nangong Yi with both hands. The casual expression on his face before was gone, and now there was only respect and caution.
Bai Ze looked at the document and found that it was similar to the document they sent to the starting point village every morning in the central square.
Basically, this document is for survivors to fill in their skills, abilities, knowledge, type of work before the end of the world, etc. There's even a special box where you have to check if you're a soul evolver.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Wen Hua hurriedly explained: "The stronger your ability, the better the treatment you get." Moreover, both of you are powerful soul evolvers, and you also have some active skills, which will definitely become the main force of the base. ”
"I see." Bai Ze nodded and asked calmly, "If we don't fill in the real information and only fill in the name, how will we be treated?" ”
"This ......" Wen Hua was speechless for a moment, not understanding what the question meant. It is not clear why a person is willing to accept the worst treatment, but he honestly replied: "If you don't fill in any information............ You can only live in the poorest neighborhood in the west of the city...... It's a place where even pigs and dogs don't want to stay. ”
"I see." Bai Ze nodded, wrote his real name on a piece of paper, and handed it to Wen Hua.
"This ......" Wen Hua was dumbfounded. He couldn't understand why the young man in front of him was doing this.
Of course, even if Wen Ru thought through his head, he would never have thought that the two people in front of him did not mean to submit to the government, nor did they surrender for such a little benefit.
What Bai Ze wanted was for Shangguan Bingxue to see what the worst area here was like, and then take everyone to a more luxurious place. And he himself was curious and wanted to compare this place with the starting point village.
The form that Nangong Yi handed over, except for his name, was also blank. However, he filled in a pseudonym.
There are more than 3,000 survivors at the base. Unless Nangong Yi went to the luxurious area where he lived before, almost no one would recognize him. After all, as powerful soul evolutionaries, Nangong Yi and his sister Nangong Ling naturally enjoyed the best treatment that the base could provide.
Wen Hua sighed and shook his head. He didn't understand what was going on in the minds of these two men, but it wasn't his business.
"Two gentlemen, if you change your mind and want to work for the base government, remember to go to the north and sign up. With the strength of the two of you, you will definitely get good treatment. I'll arrange for the two of you and the two ladies outside to live in the house on the west side. After Wen Hua finished speaking, he said goodbye to them.
Bai Ze just smiled slightly and walked out of the room with his backpack on his back, while Nangong Yi followed closely behind with another backpack on his back.
When they walked out of the building, they saw that Shangguan Bingxue and Nangong Ling were already waiting for them. Because the two women only brought personal clothes in their bags, the inspection went smoothly and there were no problems. In addition, because the people who examined them were all women, they did not experience any harassment.
"Finished?" Bai Ze asked with a casual smile.
"It's over." Shangguan Bingxue nodded expressionlessly.
Filling in the information was expected by the group, so they didn't even fill in the words a long time ago.
Soon, a group of four people was escorted to the base...... But they got into a truck with tarpaulins on both sides, and they barely saw the situation outside.
A few minutes later, the group finally arrived at their temporary residence.
In a two-story building, most of the window glass has been shattered and replaced with nylon bags and pieces of paper. There is also a small courtyard outside, a four-meter-tall tree, and a rotting wooden fence blocking the view outside.
There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen. The problem was that there was nothing in the other two rooms except for a bed. Also, although the bathroom has a toilet and shower, there are no toiletries such as soap and shampoo. As for the kitchen...... Nothing but a brick countertop.
Bai Ze was very satisfied with this arrangement. To be honest, this house is very similar to his home in Changping District, except for the lack of furniture.
The Nangong brothers and sisters glanced at each other, and they both saw the bitterness hidden in each other's eyes. Before the end of the world, they were not very rich, but they also lived a good life. And, except for the first days of the apocalypse, they all slept in quite luxurious apartments. Even then, they did not complain, after all, they are used to surviving in various conditions.
After all, as soul evolutionaries who often go out in search of supplies, they don't always return to base and sometimes have to sleep outdoors or in dilapidated houses.
Shangguan Bingxue's face did not change much. Instead, he looked at the only bedroom with a bed and asked coldly, "What should I do?" ”
Bai Ze was silent for a moment and concluded, "You and Nangong Ling sleep here. ”
Nangong Yi nodded casually and agreed with Bai Ze's decision.
Although the world has changed, Nangong Yi and Bai Ze still retain the instinct of men to protect women.
Not to mention that Nangong Yi can't let his sister sleep on the floor, let alone grab a bed with a girl who can be his daughter, even Bai Ze is unwilling to let two women sleep on the floor.
If it were two ordinary women, he might not mind too much. But since those two are his allies in life and death, things are different.
Bai Ze didn't realize how complicated his heart was and how chaotic his emotions were. Because of Stone Heart's skill, his emotions can easily change quickly depending on the person involved.
However, Shangguan Bingxue sensed something, and only then did he realize that this young man, who was usually indifferent and did not hesitate to kill the enemy, only cared about his allies. But not all allies.
Rather, it is to fight alongside him and protect his allies.
As for the rest...... It is estimated that it will be difficult to be cared for.
