Watching the inspectors and soldiers leave, Zero finally got the right to stay in Remut. With just another week of observation, they can even apply for a full resident card.

And to Zero's delight, the probability that Leah is not infected with the virus should be about ninety percent. After all, he was also stained with Hans's blood, but apart from being unconscious for two days, Zero did not feel any discomfort. As for the reason why half of Leah's face turned dark red, it was somewhat inseparable from Hans, but she was not infected with any virus. It couldn't be more than that, and it meant that the two of them could swagger in and out of other companies or bases.

But Zero still insisted that Leah do a careful and comprehensive examination to eliminate the 10% uncertainty of Zuihou. To that end, after Leah settles in, Zero leaves the station and heads inside Remut. With what little money he had left, he went to the business district of Remut. Zero hopes to find a clinic or a small hospital there, and hopes that the money will be enough for Leah to have a detailed check-up.

At the same time, Zero also wants to take on some tasks so that he can earn some money in case of emergency. They don't stay in Remut forever, and in addition to Leah's factor, Zero wants to find his past elsewhere. Therefore, it is necessary to buy supplies and travel expenses, and these things need money. And right now, Zero doesn't have a lot of money.

Through the guidance of the street signs, Zero came to the business district of Remut. It is said to be a commercial area, but in Zero's view, it is more like a bazaar. Everything is sold here, such as food, clothing, and everyday items are considered the most common, and some shops even sell mutated creatures. In the commercial area, there are also two weapons shops, and I took a look around.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money to buy those powerful new-age weapons, and as for the rest, their power was far from comparable to that of the M500 revolver with zero waist. Zero had planned to order some .50 warheads, but considering the cost on Leah's side, he could only dismiss the idea for the time being.

In the business district, Zero found a private clinic. The doctor at the clinic is John Brooke, who is both the doctor and the owner of the clinic. John's men had three nurses, and their faces and figures were pretty good. The three nurses act as John's subordinates and his slaves, for John's amusement when needed.

Even, if a patient or someone else takes a fancy to them, for a fee to John, the nurse can provide a pleasant service to the client.

Since it is a private clinic, it is naturally not subject to remitt. As long as the clinic pays the rent and related fees, in addition to the normal medical services, the clinic also provides other services. This includes testing for viral infections.

Zero had already made an appointment with the clinic's doctor, John, for the examination and paid a $20 appointment fee. With John's autographed appointment card in hand, Zero left the clinic and walked towards the union hall of the borough.

The administrative body of Remut is made up of trade unions, which have a chairman and vice president, and ten union representatives below. The 10 union representatives come from all walks of life, including residents, military officers, and businessmen, as well as representing voices from all walks of life. It can be seen that Remut's administrative apparatus is relatively democratic, which is also the cornerstone of its healthy development.

The union hall of the borough, in addition to posting daily messages, also has a taskbar for unions to post bounty tasks. This is also the purpose of Zero, he has calculated that after paying Leah's inspection fee, Zero's finances are close to deficit. He had to find some tasks to pick up, otherwise the two of them would probably have to drink the northwest wind tomorrow.

After walking two blocks, Zero came to the borough. The area is much quieter than the business district, and there are a lot fewer people coming and going. The union hall is located in the west of the administrative district and is a separate office building. The exterior of the building is very simple, with no superfluous decorations, only a stone sculpture erected on the roof.

The stone sculpture is in the shape of a scale, which alludes to the fact that Remut's orientation will be freedom and fairness.

But in this era of the jungle, how much fairness can there be. So Zero only glanced at it, but didn't pay attention to it.

In addition to the union office staff in Remut, the rest of the union hall are mercenaries and hunters. For both groups, the ruins of cities outside of Remut are a paradise for adventure. In response to Remut's expansion in recent years, there are too many ruins to scout and even sweep. Therefore, in recent years, the role of the union has not diminished, and it has also attracted mercenary hunters from the surrounding area.

Zero walked towards the entrance to the union hall, and a figure slammed out of the revolving door at the same time. Before anyone arrived, the strong smell of alcohol had already penetrated into Zero's nose. Countless data are immediately summarized and analyzed by Zero's brain, and zero draws a conclusion at the snap of a finger. The guy in front of him had drunk at least two bottles of high-purity whiskey, and the sky-high smell of wine could already smoke people to death.

Undoubtedly, there is an alcoholic in front of him. And this drunkard is even more towards Zero.

Zero backs away, dodges. With his ability to reach the second order of agility enhancement, it is not a problem to avoid the collision of drunkards. But somehow, a flower in front of his eyes was still passed by this drunkard.

Surprised by Zero, he turned around and looked at the drunkard.

The drunkard was an old man in his sixties, dressed in an old-time black gown and wearing a high felt hat on his head. If you have one more crutch in your hand, you will undoubtedly be an English gentleman in the sixties and seventies. Under the brim of the hat was a pair of sleepy-eyed eyes, a red rosacea, and a gray, tangled beard under the nose.

The old man burped, and the spicy smell of wine immediately sprayed his face.

Zero frowned, in his opinion, there was nothing unusual about this old man. But intuition tells Zero that the more ordinary people are, the more likely they are to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers. In the wilderness, there is no shortage of deviant creatures that are dressed as harmless as humans and animals, but are actually very fierce.

"Young man, your gun is good. ”

The old man's eyes fell on the pair of revolvers on Zero's waist, and he squinted his eyes and said, "There are very few people who still know how to use the M500, why don't you sell them to me, I am willing to buy them for you for 500 yuan." ”

Five hundred dollars is already a lot of money, and Zero can use it to buy more powerful guns. But he shook his head and said, "My gun, don't sell it!"

The concise answer and categorical refusal made the old man slightly stunned.

Then he laughed and said, "Funny guy, you don't make money if you have money." Hey, I'm starting to like you a little bit. ”

Zero doesn't like him at all, so Zero turns away. Looking at his figure passing through the revolving door, the old man smiled, but his eyes always fell on the pair of murder weapons: "It's hard to bump into such a good thing, but it's a pity that I met a master who doesn't love money, it's a pity!"

The old man, who shook his head and sighed lightly, groped out a bottle of simple wine from his body, flicked off the lid of the wine and drank two sips, and then disappeared into the crowd with crooked steps.
