Seeing Zhao Yang running in, the two guards were like ghosts.

Ignoring the reactions of the two, Zhao Yang smiled cautiously: "Brother Zhang, Brother Li, my B07 test and the final notes have not been completed......"

"You...... Wait!"

Brother Zhang, who was tall, looked at Zhao Yang fixedly, took a deep breath, nodded towards his companion, and said, "I'll go in and report!"

A few minutes later, Brother Zhang beckoned to Zhao Yang and said, "Come in with me, Researcher Xu wants to see you!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they recognized it, otherwise his money would be in suspense.

followed the guard into the innermost office, sat down on the sofa, reached out and touched the soft leather sofa under him, Zhao Yang sighed slightly, it was so comfortable, it seemed to vaguely remember that when he was a child, the sofa at home seemed to be as soft as this......

Looking around curiously, Zhao Yang had been working part-time at this private pharmaceutical research institute for more than half a year, but this was the first time he had entered the researcher's office.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a white coat, gold-rimmed glasses, and an elegant temperament strode in from the door.

Seeing this middle-aged man, Zhao Yang's eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Hello Researcher Xu!"

"Hmm!" Researcher Xu nodded, stared at Zhao Yang with a slightly strange gaze, flipped through the record book in his hand, and then handed it over, and said, "You finish the record first!"

Zhao Yang was overjoyed, stretched out his hand to take his notebook, looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he continued to write again.

While writing, the originally nervous mood has also stabilized, and it seems that the money for this experiment should be no problem!

After adding two or three more lines, Zhao Yang respectfully handed it over.

Researcher Xu glanced at it twice, asked Zhao Yang how he felt and reacted when he woke up, and then beckoned to Zhao Yang and said, "Let's go, follow me for a check!"

After a series of physical examinations and blood tests, researcher Xu reached out and handed him an envelope, saying, "Your experiment is doing very well today, this is the reward for this time, remember to come to the laboratory at any time if you have any discomfort or any special reaction!"

Speaking of this, Researcher Xu looked at him deeply and said, "There will be a special subsidy at that time, but you can't tell others about this incident, understand?"

"Yes! Thank you, Researcher Xu!"

Looking at the thick envelope in his hand, Zhao Yang nodded excitedly.

Walking out of Researcher Xu's office, Zhao Yang walked up to the two guards, reached out and took out the money in the envelope, and counted the ten red tickets inside.

He took out two and handed them to the guard, and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother Li, this is the share this time!"

The two glanced at each other, and the tall Brother Zhang stretched out his hand to take it, then handed back one, and said, "This time it's your life money, and only you will be charged one percent!"

"Thank you!"

Zhao Yang was slightly surprised, but he still thanked the two seriously, although it was only a hundred yuan, but for him, it was quite important.

After getting the money, I noticed the faint gray-green mark on the collar.

Zhao Yang frowned, took off his coat, which was almost dry, and went to the bathroom to scrub his collar with water for a while, until the gray-green traces disappeared, then he exhaled and put it on again.

The sunlight outside the research institute was a little dazzling, shining on the slightly pale face of the young man, and even faintly visible pale cyan blood vessels inside.

"Zhao Yang, are you okay?"

On the steps next to him, a ******, short boy looked at Zhao Yang who came out, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up and said excitedly.

"Luo Xun, don't worry, it's nothing!" Looking at the worry on the face of the young man with glasses, Zhao Yang squeezed out a smile and said.

"Hey...... You're crazy, you actually chose the B-level test, and it scared me to death!"

Luo Xun looked Zhao Yang up and down, looked at his still somewhat pale face, sighed, and persuaded: "Let's try C-grade, B-grade will really die!"

"Got it, it's okay...... Isn't it good for me!" Zhao Yang comforted his classmate and roommate, and said with a smile: "Let's go, it's time to go back!"

After saying goodbye to Luo Xun at the intersection, Zhao Yang looked around, and then strode towards the grain store not far ahead.

The family has been eating mixed vegetable porridge for two days, and if they don't buy some food, they will really run out of cooking.

Standing at the door and looking around, Zhao Yang walked into the grain store, stood in front of the blackboard on the wall of the grain store, and looked carefully.

Today's Food Prices:

Rice: 32

Corn ballast: 25

Flour: 45

Eggs: 10

......

"Compared with the last time, it has risen by half a percent!"

Secretly sighed, calculated, bought five catties of rice and ten catties of corn ballast, looked at the eggs next to him, and after hesitating for a while, he still paid for two eggs, carefully packed them, and Zhao Yang laboriously carried them to his home.

"Classmate, it's okay, let's give me something to eat......"

"Please, pass the time, the child hasn't eaten in two days!"

On the side of the road, many ragged beggars, most of whom are disabled or old and weak, looked at Zhao Yang, who was carrying a grain bag, and came up to entangle, but looking at the blue and white school uniform on his body, no one dared to be brutal.

Zhao Yang, who had long been accustomed to all this, walked forward with the grain bag on his back without squinting, in such a troubled world, it is not easy for anyone to survive, and the excess sympathy has already been wiped out in the past few years.

These days, as the outside of the city becomes more and more dangerous, there are more and more beggars in Johor Bahru, and even the prefabricated houses in the outer city have been added and added, and even the outer walls of their own residential areas are now full of prefabricated houses.

The outer city is becoming more and more crowded, and the environment is naturally getting worse and worse. It makes people envy the nobles in the inner city more and more.

Zhao Yang strode forward with his head down, habitually reaching out and touching his liver area, but he was a little suspicious.

After trying the medicine in the past, the liver area will have a dull pain, but today I tried it at grade B, and it is so powerful, why is there no reaction at all?

There was some doubt in my heart, but more joy was more, it was better not to hurt than to hurt!

Feeling the weight of the food on his back, Zhao Yang's spirit lifted slightly, and he continued to stride forward.

After a while, he walked to the main road in the middle, looking at the steam bus slowly driving in front of him with white smoke, Zhao Yang hesitated, although he still had a few hundred yuan in his pocket, he was still reluctant to get on the bus.

After walking along the main road for a while, he heard several melodious and heavy bells at the city gate not far behind him.

Hearing this bell, Zhao Yang's heart tightened slightly, stopped, put down the grain bag in his hand and looked towards the city gate.

The flow of people around them also quickly stopped, and then separated to the two sides, revealing a path in the middle, and they all looked towards the city gate not far away.

The tall gray and white city walls, made of a mixture of boulders and cement, were rough and calm, and the gates, which were usually crowded, were now empty, and people stood quietly on both sides, waiting quietly.

Only the city guards in armor on both sides stood solemnly.

After a while, at the city gate, a black flag slowly appeared.

Looking at this black flag, everyone's faces quickly became gloomy, revealing a solemn color.

Under the black flag, a group of people dressed in camouflage uniforms, carrying various guns on their backs and hunting knives at their waists, walked slowly through the city gate with gloomy faces.

"Salute!"

With a deep shout, the long knives on the waists of the city guards on both sides "clattered" out of their sheaths, and they stood neatly on their chests and saluted.

The procession passed through the middle in silence and slowly, with heavy footsteps.

Most of the men in the queue were wounded, and the leader was a strong man with a heavy iron rod on his back, a shoulder strap hanging from his left hand, and obvious abrasions and blood stains on his right face.

In the middle of the line, there were also two stretchers, but these two stretchers were tightly wrapped in white cloth, revealing a faint sense of tragedy.

Zhao Yang stood up straight silently and bowed his head slightly, expressing his silence.

The procession walked slowly and heavily past Zhao Yang, and after being far away, the noise resumed on the main road again.

"Two more deaths in the pioneer team, even Luo Qingyang, who is a force walker, is not lightly injured, and the mountains are really getting more and more dangerous!"

"Yes, I don't dare to go deep into the mountains anymore!"

"But don't talk about the deep mountains, even in the city now, they are starting to be restless, have you heard, how many have died in Dongcheng!"

"I know, I heard that there is some evil spirit, it seems that there was an accident in Nancheng yesterday, and the city guard went to deal with it. ”

"Alas...... This world is really getting more and more chaotic!"

"I don't know if we have a chance to become awakened, otherwise it will not be a way to go on like this!"

"Don't think too much about it, wake up? hehe...... Either you have money or your life, you can go to Aragu Town or Yashan Village to try your luck!"

"Forget it, don't you dare to touch this kind of luck!

The two free pioneers who had just returned to the city with baskets on their backs, with emotion and a strong melancholy on their faces, shook their heads and walked past Zhao Yang.

"The Awoken..."

Zhao Yang's eyes were blazing as he looked at the majestic figure at the front of the team in the distance, his eyes full of envy.

If I can become an awakened person, my family will not starve, and my father will be able to use good medicine, and there is even hope of being cured...... How is this possible?

Shaking his head gently, as a student of Shanda, Zhao Yang knew very well how difficult it was to become an Awakened One.

After sighing, giving up this unrealistic idea, Zhao Yang continued to walk forward with the grain bag on his back.

Half an hour later, with a fine sweat, Zhao Yang finally returned to the door.

Under the old walls, there are small wooden houses scattered around, giving off a faint smell.

Many people come and go in and out of these wooden houses, which seem to be congested.

It wasn't until I walked into the community that it seemed a little empty.

After taking a breath, he carried the food up to the seventh floor, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw that there were several people sitting in the already rather small living room.

was stunned, and after seeing a few people inside, Zhao Yang's face changed slightly, and a smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Qian, you are here!"
