160. Encounter
It was nearly evening, and the two of them were lined up.
A team has a table at the mouth, and two people can fill it in at the same time, and Amer and Ah Xu silently filled in the basic information such as their names and hometowns, and then tacitly wrote "no" on whether to awaken the ability.
The two of them are about to lurk, not because they don't want to join the military official, but because Amer is very cautious, and he always feels unstable.
And Ah Xu has been led by Amer all the way, and he has been "blindly obeying" Amer's decision, and he has no other thoughts at all.
The soldier who received the information only swept one ability, and when he saw it, he sent a wooden sign with a wooden face, "Let's go in, Eighth District." ”
The two took the sign and remained silent, silently following the ordinary people in front of them to go inside.
Today's human beings naturally have no way to detect the ability, so they can only use the way to find the ability, if they hide it from the two of them, as long as they don't use the ability to be discovered, they won't be known at all.
There are quite a few people in the back team who generously fill in their abilities, and these people have been using them all the time, so it's useless to hide them.
When entering the city, the signs obtained by the Strangers are made of iron, and the area numbers are between 1-3, obviously, the city has a distinction between "rich and poor".
Ah Mo and Ah Xu didn't care about this, they chose to enter the city as ordinary people, so naturally they wouldn't feel unfair or anything like that.
They have long understood the core of survival in this world, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected.
After entering Liangcheng, residents with ordinary identity cards like Amer did not have much to collect, and the Liangcheng officials only provided "basic" food, a pack of biscuits or bread, instant noodles, etc., and the rest was gone.
Although a pack of biscuits can't fill your stomach, it won't starve to death, and if you want to survive, you still have to search for supplies on your own, or take jobs from the government in exchange for money and food.
The materials could still be found from the ruins before, but now, those that are easy to dig up have been dug up, and those that are not easy to dig and collect have also been controlled by the authorities, and ordinary people can only go to work.
The original survivors of Liangcheng lived well, not too bad, after all, there was no official management of these after the disaster, and people more or less collected materials and stored them.
Only those who came after them were the most difficult, they had almost nothing after the long journey, and now the materials in the ruins of the city are not easy to find, and they can basically only rely on the work provided by the government to obtain supplies.
Otherwise, you can only go out of the city and venture to hunt in the forest, etc., the danger of going out of the city is self-evident, and the animals in the forest are several times more fierce than before, not to mention the threats such as mutated plants and alien beasts.
Therefore, most ordinary people will not go out of the city, and would rather be fortunate in the city, take over tasks from the government, and do reconstruction work to maintain their lives.
As for the water source, it is not worried, the earthquake and the aura Fusu are not polluted, and the water source is still clean, but it is not as convenient as before.
In the past, the water pipes built in the city had long been damaged and unusable, but the military and the government gathered manpower and material resources to reopen and receive a new water source, but the supply of this water source to the military was insufficient, so naturally it would not be provided to ordinary people.
Therefore, the survivors need water and have to go to the water source to get it themselves, and primitive methods such as carrying water have reappeared in human daily life.
Ah Mo and Ah Xu breathed a sigh of relief when they arrived at the assigned residence, and in front of them was a large part of the collapsed area, which looked like it was originally a community, but most of the buildings had collapsed, and only a few half-section remnants of the buildings were left barely standing.
The community is full of ruined and broken buildings, and most of them only have a few barely habitable houses left, and the two of them didn't say anything, and they didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
Most of today's urban buildings are like this, and those that are better preserved are not inhabited by them.
The person who led the way gave each person six packs of instant noodles, saying that it was three days' relief rations per person, and then explained the rules of Liangcheng, and after speaking, he didn't care whether everyone listened to it or not, turned around and left without looking back.
The big guy didn't dare to complain about anything, put away his rations, sighed and cleaned up the building, although it was dilapidated, there was a place to live after cleaning up.
For most of the month, they have been on the road in the wilderness, and they have survived the days of sitting on the ground in the open air, and now what is this situation, everyone accepts it, and even thinks it is not bad.
Ah Mo and Ah Xu didn't fight for a "good" room, they sat on the ruins in front of the dilapidated building and quietly watched this dilapidated city, without the invasion of mutated plants and mutated animals, they felt very good.
"Let's go to the information center." After resting for a while, Amer said in a deep voice.
The person who led the way just said that if you want to find a job, or go out of the city in a team to find opportunities, you should go to the information center, which is the place where the information of the whole city gathers, and you can also issue missing person notices, etc., in short, it has a lot of functions.
Ah Xu was silent and got up to follow.
The shadows are narrowed by the setting sun, and the noisy sounds of the community in the ruins become the background, and two young people who escaped from a small mountain village may write a wonderful story in this slowly recovering city.
Liangcheng's Anomalous area, Information Center.
A big yellow dog the size of a lion crouched on the square in front of the information center, the big yellow dog squinted and looked drowsy.
Leaning on it was a small figure, completely obscured by a hooded trench coat, but it was still a young child.
Yaoyao leaned on Ah Fu's back and closed her eyes to rest, under the hood, the little girl's white and tender little face was no longer immature, and the black boy, who looked very innocent, raised slightly timidly, and the eyes that were once at a loss now had a trace of firm light.
"Yaoyao, today's harvest is good, this is your and Ah Fu's money." A graceful woman smiled and handed ten silver coins to Yaoyao.
The little girl took the silver coin, glanced at the woman with dark eyes, and her small mouth tightened a little, "Auntie, it's less." ”
The woman looked back at her with a smile, did not answer, did not take out the money in the purse again, and seemed to have made up her mind.
Yaoyao looked at her for a while, and finally could only pull down her hood, silently put away the silver coin, and turned over and climbed onto Ah Fu's back.
The big yellow dog stood up suddenly, turned around and roared viciously at the woman, but still suppressed his temper under the reassuring movements of the little master.
This place is full of humans, and if the little master wants to live well, it can't hurt humans.
Ah Fu knows the rules of living in the city, so even if he senses the emotions of the little master and feels angry, it can't really do anything to the bad human who bullied the little master.
Ah Fu was very lost and aggrieved, it felt that it had not taken good care of the little master, it thought about taking the little master away from the place where humans gathered, but the little master was too small......
With loss and helplessness, the mighty big yellow dog walked towards the outside of the square step by step.
The woman looked at the back of a man and a dog with a hint of mockery and a smile, if it weren't for the monster beast only listening to the little girl, her team would not have carried such a burden.
In the eyes of the woman, she is willing to accept Yaoyao and give enough money to the other party to live.
Today's world is not what it used to be, and women and children are not privileged.
After all, poor people are everywhere, and whoever sympathizes with them can't manage it without looking at the army.
The people in the square were surprised and curious when they saw the huge Ah Fu, or avoided in fear, but they did not cause any trouble.
Although it is rare to see demon beasts in the city, it is not impossible, and there are currently six such beings as Ah Fu in Liang City.
Most of them are cats and dogs, and pets raised by humans have a high probability of staying with their owners after they evolve.
It's a pity that the changes brought about by the previous aura tide have caused humans to hunt and kill a lot of cats and dogs, otherwise in today's environment, probably many ordinary families will have a powerful pet to rely on, so it will not be too difficult.
Nowadays, there are very few people like Yaoyao who have demon beast pets, and most of them are people who originally lived in the countryside.
Naturally, the animals in the countryside are not officially killed, but the inferiority of human beings is the same, when the animals change, human beings will take the first step to kill the animals because of fear, and how many domestic animals will be left behind.
Animals that are lucky enough to survive must also have the talent to evolve into spirit animals, and have a deep relationship with their owners and have enough bonds.
These conditions may not seem like much, but they are difficult to achieve. And these lucky people rely on their own pets, and they also have the same treatment as the supernatural in Liangcheng.
Yaoyao watched the setting sun and hugged her leather bag tightly, and the silver coins in it made a slight sound, but there were not many of them, only about twenty.
It's not that she and Ah Fu don't have the ability to work hard enough, but Ah Fu and her consumption is too much, just for food, she costs 3 silver coins a day, plus the cost of entering the city and other daily expenses, her money is only enough to spend.
The little hand wearing the worn-out gloves touched her purring belly, and Yaoyao pursed her lips sadly.
She knew that the adults in the team were deliberately bullying her, and the money that was given to her every time was the least.
But she has no choice, the adults of this team are just squeezing her money, but they give it to her every time, and she and Ah Fu can also guarantee a life in the city.
If she changed teams, she was afraid that she would go out of the city gate and enter the forest and be used as cannon fodder by the hateful adults......
She didn't want Ah Fu to encounter such a dangerous situation again, and she was also afraid of encountering such a thing again.
Yaoyao knew that she would be so passive because Ah Fu was very strong, but she was very weak, if she was also strong enough and had abilities......
Thinking of the notice of the new post she saw in the square just now, Yaoyao clenched her little hand.
Definitely, you must change to the military's exercises!
Ah Mo and Ah Xu looked at the familiar big yellow dog, and their eyes lit up together, but the cautious habit made the two silent, and they quietly followed the big yellow dog for a while.
"Hoo hoo roar!
”
Suddenly, Ah Fu turned around and yelled fiercely behind him, which was its warning.
You can't just attack humans in the city, so it can only take a warning first.
Yaoyao clung to Ah Fu tightly, although she had experienced a lot of things like being robbed by the road, she was still nervous and scared.
"Ah Fu?!" Ah Xu shouted with some uncertainty.
Ah Fu's appearance is familiar to him, but now Ah Fu is too big, and his appearance is more fierce, he can't be sure, after all, the appearance of the big yellow dog is similar, and it has undergone abnormal changes, which is really difficult to recognize.
The main Yaoyao was wrapped all over her body, and it was even more difficult to identify, otherwise if they saw Yaoyao, they would be sure at once.
"Brother Axu......?" Looking at the swarthy youth in the sunset, Yaoyao was happy and dazed, she didn't know if she had admitted her mistake, but she was really happy.
"Yaoyao! It's me. Ah Xu heard Yaoyao's voice and immediately ran up.
He and Yaoyao are cousins, their grandparents are cousins, and in their generation, they are not very close, but they are indeed relatives, and they also have contacts on weekdays.
Yaoyao looked at the familiar young man who came to take off the brim of his hat, and his eyes were instantly wet.
Since she was separated from the people in the village, she has always been alone and Ah Fu has relied on each other, and now that she meets familiar people, Yaoyao will feel excited no matter how strong she is, not to mention that she is still a child less than ten years old.
Ah Xu hugged Yaoyao who was crying, his eyes couldn't help but get wet, he thought of his younger brother, who used to play with Yaoyao in the family.
And he is too old, so naturally he won't play with little girls, so he wasn't close to Yaoyao before, but after going through so many things, now he feels very close to his relatives who are not close.
What's more, looking at the originally cute and well-behaved little girl dressed in tatters, lying in her arms and crying, no matter how iron a man is, he is going to cry.
Amer looked at the two and sighed softly, he and the two were not of the same race and had no relatives, but they lived in a village, and they were more or less familiar, and they couldn't help but sigh a little at this time.
Ah Fu didn't make any moves, but his eyes were vigilantly staring at Ah Mo and Ah Xu. If there is any change between the two, Ah Fu will bite them to death as soon as possible!
Its trust in the villagers has long been exhausted, and if it weren't for the moral kidnapping of Yaoyao by the villagers after entering the city, they would not have broken with the villagers and separated.
So even if he smelled a familiar smell after getting closer, knowing that he knew someone he knew well, Ah Fu would not let down his vigilance.
As it encounters more humans after the cataclysm, it becomes more wary of humans.
Yaoyao cried a lot, her eyes were red, the little girl cried fiercely, a little hurt, hiccuping, and couldn't speak clearly.
"Give...... Belch! ”
The leather bag that was originally tightly hidden in the clothes by the little guy was taken out, Yaoyao took out five silver coins and put them in her pocket, and handed the rest to Ah Xu.
Ah Xu didn't know what was in the bag, but now he understands.
Looking at the unfamiliar silver coins, Amer's eyes flashed, it seems that the reconstruction of Liangcheng is progressing well, and even the coins are available.
