Chapter 34 Sun Cheng leaves
The leader was about to confirm with the girl in the suit that they had chosen the moving task, but the young man standing at the back with his head down suddenly rushed forward and resolutely tore off the paper about the crystal core task.
His cheeks and ears were flushed, and his raised fists were clenched tightly, as if to cheer himself up, and he roared excitedly.
"I, I don't want to go with them. I want to choose the crystal core mission."
The girl in the suit smiled at him seductively, bent down slightly, and bowed respectfully, showing off her plump breasts.
"This outstanding young man with ideals and ambitions, please tell me your name so that I can see you."
"Sun Cheng." The boy blushed. He was still young and embarrassed to stare at the girl, so he kept looking up at the ceiling.
The other three did not stop Sun Cheng, but just asked him, are you sure you want to choose the crystal core mission?
Sun Cheng nodded firmly. He decided to take a risk, otherwise he would always be a low-level person in the base who worked from day to day to make ends meet.
He wants to climb up.
The young man named Sun Cheng followed the girl to the secret room. Before leaving, he was told to take on an F-level crystal core mission. After the training, he would go out directly and told the three accompanying young men not to wait for him.
The three wanted to persuade Sun Cheng again, but after seeing the girl take out half a bag of instant noodles and give it to Sun Cheng, they were speechless.
Even S-level crystal core missions don't have the rule of providing food in advance, but...
The girl shook the remaining money in her hand, winked seductively, and said, "Are you guys sure you want to do the porter work? The pay isn't nearly as good as this. If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it. The rules set by the administrators aren't always so kind."
No one with a brain would believe this.
The other three teenagers were stunned and swallowed hard. They wanted to take it but didn't have the courage to take that step.
"Brother Zhen, please give it to my sister and tell her not to work so hard when she goes out... Take care." Sun Cheng held Zhen Keshuai's hand tightly and handed him the one-eighth bag of instant noodles.
The tone was heavy, which was not appropriate for someone of his age, and was no different from explaining his final arrangements.
The thin instant noodles now felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. Zhen Keshuai didn't want to accept it, but he couldn't say anything to dissuade him.
In the Dawn Base, the lives of ordinary people are worthless. They have to abandon their self-respect and dignity in order to survive without starving to death.
Now his brother wants to use this opportunity to stand out and enter the sight of the upper class people in the base. He has no reason to let him give up.
"treasure……"
Sun Cheng's eyes gradually became wet. He took one last look at the three of them, turned around without any regrets, and left with the girl.
"Can we go to that area and take a look?" Lin Luyan asked, pointing to a place that almost no one visited.
That happens to be an S-level area.
Each area within the [Task Center] requires entry based on personal authority. Areas above Level D can only be entered by people with special abilities, and relatives are not allowed to enter.
Jiang Kai does not meet the requirements, but Qin Simu does.
Under pressure from Chunxiu on Chen Xue, Jiang Kai could only hint to Qin Simu to go and see it next time and go shopping elsewhere today.
Walking further back along the European-style circular building, it was basically the private territory of the big crystal core owners in the Dawn Base. Jiang Kai, who didn't want to cause trouble, briefly mentioned the layout and facilities there, and then invited them to visit the slums.
The slums are the ordinary residential areas marked near the city gate. More than 80% of the people in the Dawn Base are crowded there, and the area there is only half of that of the high-end residential areas.
Lin Luyan and the others had no objection to Jiang Kai's invitation and were willing to go with him. They also compared the two options and decided where to stay tonight and in the future.
On the way back, Qin Simu took over from Yu Min, who was already a little tired, and slowly moved forward carrying Liu Zhixing on his back.
In an ordinary residential area.
Tents of various sizes were piled up densely, leaving only aisles for one person to walk through. An indescribable and persistent body odor hung in the air, making people feel nauseous.
There is a large residential square in the corner, which is a relatively clean place in the slum.
Men and women stood on it, prices were clearly marked, and those who had enough could buy their day with a small amount of food.
"Boss, why are the goods you've bought so bad these days? Where's the Xiaolan that I used to order so often?"
The fat man with long black chest hair patted his round belly in dissatisfaction, threw out a hard and black steamed bun, and randomly pulled out a woman with a raised butt, anxiously looking for a place to vent.
The sharp-tongued man called the boss smiled apologetically and apologized repeatedly. The original good batch of goods had been bought by a noble person at a high price.
Curly, who usually came with fat men, thought for a long time and reluctantly picked a clean and thin woman. He used his water ability to fill half a bottle with water and threw it over in exchange for a night of love.
There were many people watching the show around the square. Their expressions were numb, as if they were accustomed to such scenes.
Even the men and women on the stage have completely accepted the fact that they are being sold. They would be happy if a customer spent food to buy them, because at least they don't have to go hungry today.
Yu Min sighed deeply and looked at Lin Luyan with gratitude. Fortunately, he was lucky and did not have to compete with so many people for territory and food. Because of the existence of [Wahada Restaurant], he lived with dignity every day in the apocalypse.
"Let's stop shopping and go rent a house for a month." Lin Luyan drooped her eyelashes, feeling a little depressed.
The same was true for Qin Simu, but they all understood that these phenomena were very normal in the end times, they were just lucky and avoided encountering them.
The residential buildings at the Shuguang Base are very cost-effective. One crystal core can buy a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment for one month. The rooms are spacious and have all the necessary furniture and supplies.
New residents can move in with just their luggage.
The top floor is more expensive and has two floors. The lower floor is the same as the ordinary floor, while the upper floor has a small guest bedroom, storage room and balcony.
In order to facilitate the room allocation for the five people, Qin Simu spent two crystal cores to rent the sixth floor of a residential building. He deliberately chose a building with more neighbors to make it easier for them to find out information related to the Dawn Base.
Zhang Juan, Liu Zhixing and Yu Min had been running around all the way and were already feeling sleepy. The three of them squeezed into the guest room and fell asleep as soon as they touched the pillows.
As for the specific room allocation, we will have to wait until they wake up.
Lin Luyan, who had just entered the house and changed into slippers, couldn't wait to walk around, but the result made her quite disappointed.
There is no kitchen here, nor any charging sockets, and there is no place to use the induction cooker. It seems that cooking will have to be put on hold.
Just as Lin Luyan was trying to convince herself that she was about to eat lettuce for several days in a row, Qin Simu seemed to know what she was worried about. He came close to her and whispered something.
