Chapter 12 Civilian Area

Wen Le spent two days recuperating in the safe zone. The system's treatments had mostly healed his minor injuries, with the exception of the wound on his arm. The system was powerless, as a gray rat had bitten off a piece of his flesh. The system could only guarantee the host's safety, offering no other assistance. Therefore, Wen Le had to slowly heal his arm wound on his own.

After two days of recuperation, the little thing Jin Cancan finally recovered. In contrast to its previous listless appearance, it became lively again, and because it was full, it began to show its true nature. Sometimes the naughty Wen Le wanted to beat it up.

Just then, the little thing jumped too hard while playing with the ball and bumped its head against the small table, flipping it over with a thud. There was half a cup of water on the table that Wenle had saved for it to drink, and it ended up spilling all over the floor.

Wen Le felt so sad when he saw the water spilled on the ground. Water was more precious than food here. This glass of water was earned by Wen Le while he was helping others with their treatment despite his injuries. In the end, he didn't even want to drink it and just spilled it all.

Wen Le felt like his little universe exploded at that moment. He grabbed the little thing and pulled it into his arms, raising his hand to beat it, but when he saw the little thing looking at him with tears in its eyes, Wen Le softened his heart.

He sighed, reached out and flicked it on the forehead, and said, "This won't happen again."

"Meow~" The little thing licked Wen Le's fingers in a flattering manner, and then rubbed them with its head.

Wen Le poked the little thing on the forehead: "You only know how to act cute."

"Meow meow meow~" The little thing rolled around in Wen Le's arms and started playing with Wen Le.

As they were arguing, Ao Wei came over and said to Wen Le, "The car is here. We can go to Area B today. Hurry up and pack up. Let's go quickly. The car over there won't wait for anyone. It will leave when the time comes."

The B area that Ovi mentioned was what everyone jokingly called the civilian area. It was a completely different world from here. In addition to B area, there was also the legendary A area on the Abandoned Planet. Abandoned Planet was recognized as the wealthy area. As long as the people there had enough credit points, they could leave the Abandoned Planet and immigrate to other planets.

However, these planets also have residence registrations. In the past, immigrants to ordinary planets only needed proof of citizenship and sufficient credit points, but those above ordinary planets required contribution points, which were the hardest to earn.

However, for those who have abandoned their planets, especially those in the safe zone, being able to immigrate to other ordinary planets is already an unattainable dream.

Wen Le quickly put on the travel bag that he had asked someone to make for him, and followed Aowei to the temporary station in the safe zone while holding Jin Cancan.

This is the only chance to get somewhere else from the safe zone.

The car Aowei described resembled a boat, a specialized desert vehicle for the era. Its interior was coated with a thick layer of insulating material, which effectively blocked out all negative energy, allowing the vehicle to navigate the Abandoned Planet's negative energy storms without sacrificing safety.

This desert car is like a bus on the abandoned planet. All the people on the abandoned planet will take this car to travel. However, the desert car only comes to the safe zone once a week, so people in the safe zone usually buy enough things for a week.

Some of those with better conditions would go to Area B to stock up on supplies and sell them back, but this kind of business is basically only done by capable captains. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been robbed long ago.

Wen Le had already made plans. This time, he would go to Area B to register with the Therapist Association first, collect the one thousand living expenses, then buy more hydrating food, some medicine and clothes, and make other plans if there was any money left.

After getting in the car, Ao Wei paid for Wen Le's fare without giving Wen Le a chance to refuse: "Forget it this time, you can pay for it yourself next time."

Wen Le had no choice but to say thank you.

The two of them found two connected seats and sat down. Wen Le looked around the car and found that the space inside the car was twice as large as it looked from the outside. It was probably made using space folding technology.

However, in Wen Le's memory, such cars were already discarded and unused models from other planets. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the future world was indeed different.

In addition to the people from the safe zone who were traveling with Wen Le and his friends, there were also people from other places in the car. These people were dressed very casually, and some even had patches on their bodies, and their mental state was not very good.

Ovi told Wen Le that these people were from other safe zones and they were also going to Zone B for supplies.

Only then did Wen Le realize that there were other safe zones besides theirs. However, judging by their conditions, they were probably living a similar life to them, perhaps even worse than the patchers.

But he couldn't interfere in other people's affairs, so he should just take care of himself first.

After two hours of driving, we arrived at Area B.

As soon as Wen Le got out of the car, he was stunned by the scene before him. Greenery was everywhere. Although the houses were made of stone and were low, they were built very neatly. The streets were also clean and paved with an unknown material.

Wen Le's mood at that time was so complicated that it was impossible to describe it in words. He didn't know what was wrong with him, and tears couldn't help but burst out. Although it was very embarrassing, he just couldn't help it.

It's only a two-hour drive, such a short distance, but this place is completely different from where he lives now. There is no sense of urgency here as in the safe zone. On the contrary, it is very peaceful and leisurely, as if the raging yellow sand outside does not exist.

Thinking of these, Wen Le burst into tears of grievance. He thought about how he was still happily being a stay-at-home half a month ago. His home was stocked with all kinds of delicious food that was enough to last for a month, and he could also order takeout. He stayed at home, eating and surfing the Internet, and his life was so carefree.

As a result, everything changed when I woke up. My previous life seemed like a beautiful dream, which was shattered when I woke up.

Ao Wei patted Wen Le's shoulder and said, "I felt the same way when I first came to Area B. I thought we were all raised by our parents and born on abandoned planets, so why were there such huge differences?"

Sighing, Ovi continued, "But as I get older, I think back then I was really silly and cute. There's no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. You have to fight for what you want on your own."

After that, he stroked Wen Le's hair and said with a smile: "Alright, just shed a few drops of cat urine to vent. It would be embarrassing to cry again. How can a man shed tears casually? A man would rather bleed than cry."

The little thing hiding in Wen Le's arms also stuck out half of its head to rub his face, and stretched out its tongue to lick away his tears.

Wen Le wiped away his tears a little embarrassedly and touched the little thing's head.
