Six floors?

It's incredible, it's spectacular just to think about it, a city that is seven stories in the air.

And as soon as you hear it, you know that the higher you live, the higher the status of the people who live, and the distinct class system is directly divided by the place where you live.

After answering this question, seeing that Xu Zhi didn't ask any more questions, Qi Yanxin walked to the kitchen to prepare to cook, but when it was said to be a kitchen, it was actually a kitchen area arranged in a corner of the living room, and a gas tank was used.

Seeing this, Xu Zhi felt a little strange, there were many things that made her feel contradictory, and the technology seemed to be much more advanced than the Federation, such as the sky city, the prosthetic, the accurate weather forecast, and even some of the equipment of Ye Ran's father's eighteen-hand car made Xu Zhi feel novel.

But from the perspective of slum life, it is much more backward than the Federation, at least the gas canister has long been used by the Federation, and some old electrical appliances and other daily necessities have a strong sense of cheap retro.

Is it because it's so poor and abandoned that it hasn't even built some infrastructure?

So, what does a city that is supposedly more "luxurious" look like overhead?

Is it so crowded and inexpensive?

I guess it's impossible.

I don't know if the guys who built the prison are not in this city, but even in this city, they are probably at the top, can they guess that there are still fish in the Federation that have slipped through the net and landed at the bottom?

Such thoughts only turned around in Xu Zhi's mind, and she didn't continue to worry about these, rather than worrying about things that she couldn't do at the moment, it was better to concentrate on the present.

Because of the worrying condition of Xu Zhi's stomach, Qi Yanxin only boiled porridge and added some shredded meat and a small amount of green vegetables.

Meat was not expensive for the slums, even quite cheap, and various breeding factories were prevalent, and good quality meat was sent to the upper classes, leaving behind more than enough or worse quality to eat.

Not only breeding factories, but all kinds of factories are basically built on the ground floor, and a lot of noise and pollution are also left on the bottom floor, so the spare land for cultivation has become scarce, and the soil cannot grow much, so fresh vegetables are very expensive.

Qi Yanxin almost put all the vegetables in the pot into Xu Zhi's bowl when serving rice, Xu Zhi didn't know the price, and she didn't have an abstract concept like "green vegetables are ten times more expensive than meat" in her mind, she only thought that Qi Yanxin wanted her to eat more green vegetables, so she ate it unconsciously.

After eating and resting for a while, and after taking a bunch of medicines, Xu Zhi was finally able to lie on the bed and continue to rest.

In fact, she did feel tired and sleepy, even if she hadn't walked or exercised at all today, but just four hours of keeping her awake was enough to be tired.

Before going to sleep, the woman helped her change the medicine patch on her forehead, this thing is a bit like a fever patch, there is no smell, and the forehead that has been hot after putting it on is indeed better.

By the time she woke up, it was completely dark.

Qi Yanxin sat in the living room and seemed to be busy with something, she didn't turn on the light, just lit a candle, the flame of the candle flickered, illuminating the small mechanical object she was holding in her hand, and there seemed to be a lot of similar mechanical items in the plastic bucket next to her.

Xu Zhi's eyes were blurry, and she couldn't see the specific appearance of those mechanical items, but she could vaguely see that the movements in her hands were skillful and light, probably because the light source was not bright enough, her head was slightly lowered, her neck was bent, and she looked at the things in her hands carefully, this posture was very uncomfortable at first glance, and I don't know how she could endure it.

Xu Zhi hesitated for a moment, and did not make any noise to disturb Qi Yanxin, she could probably guess that the candle was lit because her savings were used up, and she couldn't afford to pay the electricity bill, and the things in her hand were estimated to be a lucrative job.

But there was no need for her to shout, Qi Yanxin, who was busy, would look up at the clock hanging on the wall from time to time, and when the time was up, he put down the things in his hand and planned to change the medicine patch for Xu Zhi, but he didn't expect to turn his head and see that Xu Zhi had woken up.

"Awake?"

"It's time for dinner, wait, I'll get you the medicine first."

Her tone was a bit like coaxing a child, Xu Zhi felt a little awkward in his ears, although he couldn't see clearly, but the tone of the woman's voice inadvertently revealed tiredness and a little depression.

"Is something happening? Something doesn't sound right in your voice. Xu Zhi didn't intend to hold back, and asked directly.

After all, now that she is supported by Qi Yanxin, don't you have to pay attention to any problems? Avoid your job being smashed by others suddenly.

Qi Yanxin paused for a moment as he took the medicine, probably not expecting Xu Zhi to be so keen.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, I heard that a worker with my group who has a good relationship is absent from work today."

Although it was not a big deal, the woman's tone sounded rather sad.

"Absenteeism. Is it a serious matter? Xu Zhi asked softly.

Qi Yanxin nodded, and after nodding, he realized that Xu Zhi's eyes were not very good, and he might not be able to see, so he spoke again: "It's very serious, absenteeism without reason will deduct half a month's salary once, and the second time will be directly dismissed, and the current month's salary will be withheld." ”

"The work in our group is not bad, relatively less tiring, and the monthly salary is not particularly low, so no one should want to lose this job."

"And with the precedent of being fired for absenteeism, it's hard to find a job in this factory after that."

Factory owners don't want a workforce that will be absent from work for no reason.

"That's really serious, has she been absent from work before?"

"Nope." Qi Yanxin picked up the medicine and put it on the side of Xu Zhi's bed, and poured a glass of water again: "She still insisted on coming to work when she had a very serious illness before, if she didn't encounter anything, she would definitely not be absent from work."

Speaking of this, Qi Yanxin's tone lowered again.

Waste pickers want to have a stable job, and they will never be absent from work unless there is a big accident.

was only down for a short while, and when he looked back after pouring water and saw Xu Zhi lying on the bed, Qi Yanxin said in a relaxed tone: "Maybe I was temporarily stumped by something, I will come back to work tomorrow, and I will go to work tomorrow." ”

This is actually a more "beautiful" expectation, because black workers generally do not miss work, and once there is an absenteeism, they basically will not come back to work again.

Most of these absentees have silently disappeared into this barren land, and only a few can still be seen again, but even if they are seen again, there is probably only a corpse left.

After all, the ground floor is not a safe place, and there is not even a sheriff around, and there is only such a thing as "order" in the center.
