After listening to the encouragement from the girl in the yellow vest, Lu Ziyun and his friends' life as workers in Happy City is about to begin.
Before the "tourists" and "staff" groups separated, Huo Shen looked at Sang Chi and Pei Yu and whispered, "Tang Lun and I are patrol security guards. We have a high degree of freedom. If you encounter any situation, come to us immediately."
Sang Chi was stunned. "You are patrolling everywhere. Happy City is so big, how are you going to find it?"
Huo Shen touched his chin, thought for a while and said, "There will be more patrol security personnel than just Tang Lun and I. There should be divided areas by then."
"Since you and Pei Yu are going to take Sangsang to play on the carousel, Tang Lun and I will try our best to patrol only around the carousel, which will make it much more convenient for us to meet up."
Sang Chi nodded.
Lu Ziting smiled and rubbed Sangsang's little head, then looked at Sang Chi and said, "You can't just play on the carousel, right? When you're tired, shouldn't you go to the Time Cafe to have some coffee and take a break? And by the way, come and see how hard I work."
Lu Ziyun smiled and said, "You got into the role pretty quickly."
Lu Ziting raised his eyebrows and said, "Although I don't like 996, I am still happy to relive the life of the proletarian workers before the end of the world in Happy City."
Lu Ziting was right. After the "tourists" and "staff" were divided in Happy City, many survivors were a little unhappy at first.
But here, we really found the feeling of living a peaceful and stable life before the end of the world, so now everyone has accepted it well, and several survivors who have been arranged for their posts are beginning to look forward to taking up their posts.
Huo Shen and his friends were taken away by the girls in yellow vests to go through the "employment procedures". Sang Chi took Sang Sang's hand and looked at their backs as they left. After looking away, he said to Pei Yu, "Let's go ride the carousel now."
Pei Yu nodded, and at this moment, Sang Chi saw that he had a purple cartoon hydrogen balloon in his hand.
He wondered "where did you get that?".
"I bought it from him," Pei Yu pointed to the other side and saw a staff member shouting and selling things not far away.
If we didn't know that everything in Happy City was a fake performance, it would seem quite realistic.
Sang Chi was incredulous, "Can we still spend money in Happy City now?"
He never expected that "money" still had purchasing power in Happy City and did not become waste paper.
"Okay, the prices are the same as before the end of the world," Pei Yu nodded, then he squatted down and gently tied the ribbon on the purple balloon around her wrist.
Sangsang smiled with sparkling eyes, tilted her head back, looked at the beautiful purple balloon with a sweet smile, and said happily, "Thank you, Brother Pei Yu."
The little girl has curved eyebrows and a sweet smile, like sweet milk candy.
Pei Yu stretched out his fingers to brush away the loose hair on her forehead, "You're welcome, as long as Sangsang likes it."
After saying that, Pei Yu took Sangsang's hand and walked towards the carousel.
Sang Chi was left behind without realizing it. He cried out, "You are so ungrateful. You should wait for me too." and hurriedly caught up with them.
There were already several "tourists" sitting on the dreamy carousel, and everyone had a smile on their face. Although they knew it was a performance, they were obviously having a lot of fun.
"The carousel will stop in a few minutes. If you want to ride, please line up," said a middle-aged man in a yellow vest, a staff member, waving at Sang Chi and the others.
Sang Chi said "Oh" and asked, "How long can we sit on the carousel once we get on it?"
The yellow vest staff gestured with their fingers, "ten minutes."
"Won't you feel dizzy after swinging on the wooden horse for ten minutes?" Sang Chi scratched his head, a little hesitant.
He doesn't like spinning in circles because he gets dizzy easily, and when he gets dizzy he feels nauseous and wants to vomit.
Thinking of this, Sang Chi patted Pei Yu's arm and said, "You take Sangsang to ride the carousel, I won't go."
Pei Yu raised his eyes and looked at him doubtfully.
Sang Chi took out a Polaroid camera from his backpack, shook it in his hand, and said with a smile, "I feel uncomfortable riding the carousel, so I'll take pictures of you from below."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience on the wooden horse came down, and the middle-aged man in the yellow vest began to urge them to get up.
Pei Yu nodded and said, "Okay, then you wait for us downstairs."
After that, Pei Yu took Sangsang to ride the carousel, and Sang Chi excitedly took pictures with a Polaroid camera.
The fairy-tale-style wooden horse was spinning slowly. Sangsang's little hand was touching the pony's neck, with a look of surprise on his fair and tender face.
This was the little zombie cub’s first time riding a carousel, so the little guy was excited and happy.
Sangsang smiled happily, revealing her white, glutinous rice teeth. She blinked her watery eyes and looked at Sang Chi.
She raised her little hand and waved it with a smile on her face, and said in a crisp voice, "Brother, the spinning carousel is so fun~".
Sang Chi was also very happy when he saw his sister's happy face. He took out the Polaroid camera and took pictures of Sang Sang.
After taking the photo, the small four-inch photo with white border was directly developed.
Sang Chi took the photos and flipped through them one by one, feeling deeply moved. His sister was truly adorable. He would definitely go to a photo studio and collect empty albums if he had the chance, and put all the photos of his sister in them to preserve.
He looked through Sangsang's photos carefully, and the smile on his face never stopped.
However, when he saw a photo of the little guy making faces, the smile on Sang Chi's lips stopped. He restrained his expression, brought the photo closer, and more carefully distinguished the figure of a brown and red bear doll that appeared on the side and back of the carousel.
Sang Chi thought thoughtfully, is this the outfit of the Prince of Pleasure that He Ming mentioned?
After ten minutes of carousel riding, Pei Yu took Sangsang down.
Sang Chi quickly handed him the photo and said, "Look, could the internet-famous bear at the back be Prince Youle?"
Pei Yu took it, looked at it carefully, and shook his head, "Not sure."
It was only when they were at Beijing Institute of Technology that they heard the siblings He Ming and He Yu say that Prince Youle was very mysterious. When he appeared, he wore a doll costume of the internet celebrity bear and used a voice changer to speak.
But after entering Happy City, everyone saw many "staff" wearing various cartoon doll costumes to liven up the atmosphere. Among them, they also met a cute black and white panda greeting Sangsang.
The panda is a bear but he is a staff member, so there is no way to confirm whether the brown bear in the photo is Prince Youle.
Sang Chi pursed his lips and looked up at the place where the internet celebrity bear appeared, but there was no figure there.
Even if we go and look for it now, we will definitely come back empty-handed.
Sang Chi thought for a while, his eyes fell on the middle-aged man in the yellow vest. His eyes lit up and he said to Pei Yu, "You and Sangsang wait here for a while, I'm going to go ask my brother some questions."
After saying that, Sang Chi walked towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man in the yellow vest looked at the approaching young man and thought he wanted to ride the carousel. He waved his hand and shouted, "You are too late, the carousel is coming!"
The horse has started to spin, you have to wait ten minutes before you can sit on it".
Sang Chi smiled brightly and shook his head, "Brother, you misunderstood, I don't ride a Trojan horse."
The middle-aged man in the vest looked suspicious and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
"My friends and I just arrived at Happy City today. There are many things we don't understand, so I would like to ask you for help, big brother." Sang Chi always smiles at everyone he meets and is very friendly, making it easy for him to get close to strangers.
The middle-aged man in the vest relaxed his expression and asked, "What do you want to know? Let me make it clear first, I've only been in Happy City for more than 20 days. It's not a long time, so I don't know much."
"More than twenty days!" Sang Chi's eyes lit up, "Then has Big Brother ever experienced the 'Zombie Reception Day'?"
The middle-aged man in the vest looked at Sang Chi in surprise and said, "I didn't expect that you even know about the zombie reception day."
There is a rule in Happy City that the bi-weekly zombie reception day cannot be publicized to new survivors entering the city.
Everyone will be informed only the night before the reception day so that they can prepare.
Sang Chi smiled and scratched his head, "Since everyone has chosen to join Happy City, they must have known a little bit about the news in the city."
The middle-aged man in the vest nodded, thinking that since the young man knew about it, there was no need for him to hide it.
He said, "Yes, I experienced it once."
Sang Chi pursed his lips and said, "On the zombie reception day, all the zombies outside Happy City will rush in. Will many survivors die?"
The middle-aged man in the vest did not hide it. He nodded and said, "I heard from a 'tourist' who has been here longer than me that many people will die on the first few days of reception. There are too many zombies, and it won't be easy to resist."
Sang Chi was nervous, "That Happy City is too dangerous."
"Don't be afraid, it's not that exaggerated now," the middle-aged man in the vest smiled and waved his hand, "Many survivors died on the previous reception days, but now everyone has experience. As long as we act cautiously, most of the survivors in Happy City can survive the zombie reception day safely."
Sang Chi blinked curiously, "What experience?"
The middle-aged man in a vest pursed his lips, pointed at the tall and upright Ferris wheel, and lowered his voice.
"Have you seen the Ferris wheel? On zombie reception day, you can still play all the entertainment facilities in Happy City."
"So, when the reception day comes, the gates of Happy City are opened and zombies rush in. But as long as the survivors get on the Ferris wheel, it will start spinning in circles in the sky, and the zombies don't have wings, so everyone is safe and can save their lives."
Sang Chi gave a thumbs up in shock and said, "Awesome, you can even think of this."
But he was also confused, "But we can't stay in the Ferris wheel forever. After we get off, there will still be a large number of zombies in the amusement park."
The middle-aged man in the vest looked at Sang Chi with a speechless look and said, "Little brother, you are thinking in the wrong direction."
"Who told you that the survivors would stay in the Ferris wheel all day? If that were to happen, the Clown Monster and Prince of Amusement would definitely be the first to disagree and would definitely cut off the power to the Ferris wheel."
Sang Chi's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
Seeing his expression, the middle-aged man in the vest coughed lightly, and the desire to talk was overflowing. He lowered his voice and continued;
"Now imagine that 'Zombie Reception Day' is a war. When the enemy arrives at the Happy City battlefield on Reception Day, the Ferris wheel is equivalent to our base camp."
Sang Chi thought quickly and reacted instantly, "If all the survivors occupy the Ferris wheel, there will be strength in numbers, which will be much more useful than scattering around various locations in Happy City to fight against the zombies."
"Yes, that's right," the middle-aged man in the vest nodded with satisfaction, "Happy City is large enough, and after large numbers of zombies rushed in, they also ran around everywhere and were dispersed."
"However, the number of scattered zombies is also very large, so if a small group of survivors is attacked, it will still be difficult to resist."
"But it would be different if all the survivors gathered on the Ferris wheel. All the zombies rushing towards us could be dealt with."
The middle-aged man in the vest smiled and said, "Besides, if the problem cannot be solved, we can all get on the Ferris wheel and still save our lives."
Sang Chi couldn't help but applaud, "That's amazing. It seems that as long as the survivors unite as one, everyone can survive."
The middle-aged man in the vest grinned and said, "If we want to survive on the zombie reception day, we must unite. Being selfish and bullying will not benefit anyone."
Sang Chi nodded in agreement, then he asked, "Brother, when is the next zombie reception day?"
The middle-aged man flicked his fingers, calculated the date, and replied, "It's just a few days away, not sure whether it will be the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. But Prince Youle will definitely broadcast a notice the night before."
Hearing this, Sang Chi handed over the photo in his hand and whispered, "I heard that Prince Youle is dressed as a popular internet celebrity bear doll. Can you please help me check if the person in the photo is a prince?"
The middle-aged man reached out to take the photo. His eyes first fell on Sangsang, who was sitting on the carousel with a bright smile. He said "Hey" and praised, "The little girl is really pretty."
Then he saw the internet-famous bear puppet behind the carousel, and nodded, "Yes, in Happy City, only the Prince of Amusement wears this style of puppet costume."
Sang Chi scratched his head, wondering, "Does Prince Youle also want to ride the Ferris wheel?"
The man in the vest smiled and waved his hand, saying, "That's not the case. The prince just likes to watch tourists play various entertainment projects, but he himself doesn't play them much."
In Happy City, the staff in charge of entertainment facilities often see Prince of Amusement standing silently by, watching tourists having fun.
So the middle-aged man in vest was not surprised to see Prince Youle appear in the photo.
Sang Chi nodded and asked the middle-aged man in vest a few more questions, and he told him everything.
Sang Chi felt a little embarrassed. He pursed his lips and smiled, thanking him, "Thank you for telling me this, brother. I'm sorry for taking up your time." The middle-aged man waved his hand and replied cheerfully, "I didn't say anything. Besides, these things I told you are not secrets. Any survivor who stayed in Happy City for a few days will know."
"Having said that, I want to thank you too," Sang Chi's dimples were revealed. He unzipped his backpack and pretended to rummage inside, but he was actually searching through space.
After a while, Sang Chi found a pack of cigarettes.
He held it in his hand and quickly handed it to the middle-aged man in the vest, lowering his voice and saying, "Brother, I don't have anything good, only this pack of cigarettes is pretty good. I don't smoke either, so I'm giving it to you, brother. You must accept it."
The middle-aged man felt the hardness of the cigarette shell. He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
He smiled and nodded, put it in his pocket without hesitation, and said with emotion, "This is really a good thing, thank you, little brother."
"My name is Duan Xianda, what's your name, little brother?"
The little brother Sang Chi replied with a bright smile, "My name is Sang Chi."
Duan Xianda nodded, patted his chest and said generously, "If you have anything you want to know in the future, just come to me. Your brother Duan will tell you everything he knows."
"Okay, thank you Brother Duan!" Sang Chi agreed with a smile, then waved to Duan Xianda, said goodbye and left.
Pei Yu held Sang Sang's hand and stood not far away, watching Sang Chi inquire about the news. When he came back, he asked, "How is the situation? Is the person in the photo Prince Youle?"
"It's him," Sang Chi nodded and continued, "Brother Duan also told me about the zombie reception day. Let's go find Huo Shen and Tang Lun now.
Before everyone parted, Huo Shen said that he and Tang Lun would only patrol around the carousel, so it would be easy to find them.
Finally, I saw the two of them playing bumper cars.
Huo Shen and Tang Lun were seen patrolling in their blue uniform jackets with focused expressions.
The two of them obviously love what they do and have the awareness of being hard-working workers, which makes Sang Chi, a "tourist", feel ashamed.
He exclaimed, "It turns out that you are all really working hard."
Tang Lun pursed his lips, smiled and nodded, "Patrol work is much easier than what I do on the pharmaceutical factory production line."
"Since you have been assigned to work, you must work seriously and carefully," Huo Shen hummed and nodded with a smile.
After Sang Chi made a 666 gesture in admiration, he got down to business, "I learned about the 'Zombie Reception Day' from other staff members."
"Then let's go to the Ferris wheel to find Lu Ziyun, and then go to the Time Cafe to discuss the details," Huo Shen said after hearing this.
A place with a lot of people coming and going is not a good place to talk about business, but the cafe where Lu Ziting works is the most suitable place.
When the group arrived at the Ferris wheel, they saw Lu Ziyun wearing a small vest and another colleague arranging the tourists in line to board the cabin.
He has a handsome face, speaks softly and moves gently.
Some female tourists saw that he was a stranger and kept chatting with him with a smile, asking him if he had just entered Happy City today.
Sang Chi felt jealous when he saw this scene, and tears of envy flowed from the corners of his mouth.
When Lu Ziyun finished his work, Huo Shen waved to him.
After seeing this, he said a few words to his colleague next to him. The other party nodded, and he hurried over.
"What happened?" Lu Ziyun asked.
Huo Shen said, "Sang Chi got the news, so we are going to Time Cafe to discuss business."
Lu Ziyun nodded, and then he saw Sangsang tilting her little head back, looking at the slowly rising Ferris wheel.
He reached out, touched the little guy's head, smiled and said softly, "When we have time, your brothers will take you on the Ferris wheel."
Sangsang hummed and nodded obediently. Blinking her large, distinct black and white eyes, she asked curiously, "Brother, from the Ferris wheel, can Sangsang see the entire amusement park?"
Lu Ziting nodded and said, "Yes, you can see the whole Happy City."
Sangsang pursed her lips slightly, and she couldn't help but think, it would be great if she could ride the Ferris wheel with her parents.
The system noticed the little guy's change in mood and asked gently, "Baby, do you miss your parents?"
Sangsang pursed her lips and smiled, a shallow dimple appeared on her face, and she nodded slightly.
…
When we arrived at the Time Coffee Shop, we saw Lu Ziting wiping cups at the bar. When he saw a group of people coming in, his eyes lit up and he rushed over and asked everyone to sit down.
There were not many tourists in the booths, only a few people sitting here and there, and everyone chose a secluded spot to sit down.
Lu Ziting glanced towards the bar, spread his hands and complained, "How is your job? I feel like I'm just playing house as a waiter in a cafe. There's nothing and I can't even make coffee."
"At first I was thinking that after you came in, I could make a few cups for you to drink, but I don't have the conditions for that."
"The 'tourists' who came in obviously knew all about this, so they all found a place to sit and stare blankly."
"Silly brother, don't you think about it? Even if Happy City is as bustling as usual, it cannot change the fact that it is the end of the world. How can the store have the ingredients to make coffee?" Lu Ziyun smiled and shook his head.
Sang Chi nodded in agreement, but he also couldn't help but sigh, "After you were assigned as staff members, you were too immersed in the role, and each of you worked harder than the other."
Huo Shen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "After all, I really found the feeling before the end of the world in Happy City."
After saying that, he continued, "What information did you find out about the zombie reception day?"
"We'll talk about this later. Let's get to know the Prince of Amusement first."
Sang Chi took out the photo of Sang Sang that he had taken of her while she was sitting on the carousel, placed it on the table, and pointed to the brown and red bear figure in the back of the picture, "Look, that's it."
"It's really childlike," Lu Ziting said silently.
After arriving at Happy City, I didn’t see the mysterious Prince of Amusement, but saw the clown monster first.
Nowadays, it is no longer popular for princes to wear suits. Instead, they wear teddy bear costumes, still going for a childlike style.
"Whether it's the clown or the prince of amusement, they're all weird in Happy City," Huo Shen frowned.
Lu Ziyun seemed to be thinking about something. "It's understandable that Prince Youle wears a doll costume to keep himself mysterious, but according to He Ming, he even uses a voice changer when announcing missions on the radio. What's the reason for that?"
Sangsang was sitting on a chair, listening to her brothers' discussion. She bit her fingers, tilted her head, looked at Pei Yu and asked doubtfully, "Brother, can only boys be princes? Can't girls?"
Pei Yu thought carefully about the little guy's question, and finally shook his head, "Whether it is a "prince" or a "princess", it should not be limited to the gender of boys and girls."
Pei Yu's slender white fingers gently rubbed Sangsang's soft hair, "Sangsang is a girl, but not only boys can be princes, and princesses don't have to be girls."
Upon hearing this, Sangsang pursed her lips and smiled happily, revealing her white teeth and sweet dimples. She said in a crisp voice, "Sangsang is so greedy. She wants to be a princess and a prince~".
"Brother, what do you want to be?" Sangsang blinked her big watery eyes and looked up at him.
Pei Yu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and said in a light voice, "When Sangsang was a princess, I would be your maid. If you were a prince, I would be your guard and accompany you, okay?"
"Okay!" Sangsang agreed immediately, nodded with sparkling eyes, and her smile was more beautiful and brilliant than flowers.
Lu Ziting, who was standing by, heard the conversation between Pei Yu and the little guy. He seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he speculated wildly, "We have a preconceived notion. Who said that the 'Prince of Pleasure' must be a man? Could she actually be a woman?"
