Chapter 188: Punk Boy
"My lord, although this meat is saliva meat, you can eat it with confidence."
Ma Zhu took a full distance, touched his stomach, and sighed with satisfaction.
He handed the plate to the stall owner and continued: "The meat here is visible, everyone knows the source, and it tastes good, but in some places the meat is invisible, and who knows what kind of meat is inside?" A bunch of people die every year in this hellish place, and their bodies aren't wasted. ”
"Well, that's right."
Su Xia put on a black mask and covered her mouth and nose, leaving only a pair of eyes, and by the way, the black hood on the back of her blouse covered her hair.
He sensed as he walked along the way, and made sure that there was no surveillance in this underground, not even in the shopping mall before, but he was careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship.
Ma Zhu thought he couldn't get used to the smell of here.
Although the underground ventilation system can be used, after all, there are many people and garbage.
After eating, the two continued onward, through the bazaar, into another wide sewer.
There are many ways to go underneath, like dense cobwebs, there are both large passages with a diameter of several meters, and there are also small passages that can only crawl on a rickets, and if there is no map and no acquaintance to lead the way, it is easy for newcomers to get lost in it.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Su Xia still didn't find Wu Gui's family, but found the families of the other two members.
Like most of the people in this underworld, they did not have an easy life, barely enough to eat, and nothing else.
Susha made a note of these two places and moved on.
After another half an hour, they arrived at the second bazaar.
Su Xia's sense of direction was not bad, if he was not mistaken, this underground area had gone beyond the scope of the above-ground slums, and came to the south of Coral City, under a large abandoned city area destroyed by the war.
At the beginning, he also fought with Yu Tuo in the ruined city on the ground.

[Character Wu Jian, 47 years old, male, married, cousin of Wu Gui, the former administrator of the logistics department of the North Wind Organization]
Su Xia's eyes suddenly popped up with a task prompt.
He looked around and saw that this second market was larger than the previous one, and the surrounding area had clearly been excavated and there was plenty of space.
The style here is very different from the previous bazaar, as soon as you get closer, you can hear the cacophony of heavy metal, the walls around are sprayed with fluorescent paint and colorful graffiti, and the young people who come and go have their hair dyed green, have funky punk heads, wear nose rings and lip studs, and are covered in fluorescent tattoos of unknown significance.
The street-side shops are decorated with dark copper mechanical gears, bearings, chains, connecting rods, pipes, etc., and the lights are dim yellow, decadent with a touch of dullness, and full of imperfect mechanical aesthetics.
In a dilapidated mechanical repair shop, Su Xia saw Wu Jian who he was looking for.
"Life seems to be okay."
If you can have your own shop and a craft, you can live a good life no matter where you are.
Wu Jian squatted in front of the small shop, a man in his forties, his face was wrinkled by the erosion of time and life, his hair was gray, he was wearing a rough gray overalls, and his clothes and hands were covered with dirty black engine oil.
He lit a cigarette, seemed a little distressed, scratched his sideburns with his fairly clean little fingers, wrinkled into a Sichuan character between his eyebrows, and sighed in a low voice.
The walls of the shop behind him were covered with all kinds of mechanical repair tools, and the iron shelves were filled with countless parts.
His wife sat in the corner, sewing clothes in the dim light.
His son and daughter, all ten years old, thin and small, with patches all over their clothes, also crouched in front of the shop, looking up at the oval reinforced concrete dome with big eyes, as if wondering why they couldn't see the starlight.
Such a family should not seem to have anything to do with sugar water.
Su Xia planned to observe first.
"Take a break here." He instructed Ma Zhu, and then sat down in a small restaurant diagonally across from the repair shop.
This small eatery offers two kinds of food, one fresh and the other second-hand food that has been dug up in the garbage, and there is a big price difference between the two.
Su Xia sat by the door and asked Ma Zhu calmly, "Can you still eat?" ”
"I ......"
Ma Zhu glanced at the price list, his nose twitched, and he swallowed his saliva.
Seeing this, Su Xia ordered him a clean meal, and then asked for a cup of tea for herself.
After a while, the fragrant meal was delivered, the portion was very large, the meat pieces were all large, and the price was not cheap, even about 30% more expensive than those restaurants on the ground.
Ma Zhu was moved, picked up the chopsticks and said, "My lord, you are really a good person. ”
"Treat yourself as a good person if you have something to eat?"
"You also saved my life and saved me from that sugar water."
Ma Zhu picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, but it was so hot that he screamed and exhaled the hot air, but he was reluctant to spit it out and swallowed it forcibly.
"Hoo ......"
He stroked his chest with satisfaction, and then said, "My lord, in this kind of place, those who can give people a bite to eat are also good people, you look at those women outside, as long as you give them a good meal, you can let them do whatever you want...... Of course, the same goes for men......"
He was smiling, smiling cheaply, grinning like a thin monkey.
"Whatever?"
Su Xia was thoughtful.
Will it be okay for them to rebel against the automatons?
He glanced at the punk young men wandering around, read the character panel, and quickly dismissed the idea.
Almost all of these young people are sick, AIDS, herpes, gonorrhea and the like, and they are all addicted to sugar water, and they are only in their teens, and their health is worse than that of the elderly in their fifties and sixties.
Not to mention fighting, it is difficult for them to run two steps, and entering the organization will only corrupt the atmosphere, unless it takes a long time to improve their physical condition and change their minds......
Now Su Xia doesn't have that time, and if he wants to recruit people, he can only focus on those who are healthier or younger.
For example, Wu Jian's son and daughter.
Both children are only 10 years old, have no disease, have not contracted bad habits, and have not yet formed their outlook on life and the world.
Su Xia took the tea and quietly observed for more than ten minutes.
"It looks normal, there is no sugar water deal."
During this time, only two people had ever been in the repair shop, one of them to repair the old TV and the other to retrieve the repaired radio.
Su Xia read Wu Jian's character panel, and on his personal description, he didn't see any description of Tangshui.
This middle-aged man's wife is also normal.
It's just that in the descriptions of the two, it is mentioned that they are very worried about their eldest son.
At this moment, a young man walked into Su Xia's field of vision.
[Wu Xiaolong, male, 19 years old, Wu Jian's eldest son]
The young man was also dressed in punk attire, with deep-set eye sockets and a skull pattern on his sallow face, which looked a little sickly.
He walked into the repair shop and patted the door frame hard: "Old fellow, it's time to give money!" ”
