Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Acquaintances in the Settlement Area
When Zhang Rui got the definite answer from Chang Ruijia that they would stay in the market, he almost couldn't control the expectant expression on his face.
Being able to keep such a person who can precisely meet their needs in the market, regardless of the fact that she may have tires that will be of great use in the future, just thinking about this person alone is the best thing that can’t be better for the market.
Zhang Rui is not the kind of person who lacks vision.
Even though Chang Ruijia always appeared harmless on the surface, considering the size of the bed she was lying on, how could a kind-hearted person possibly have that?
Such people either have the means to expand their influence without anyone noticing, or they have the courage to adapt to the changes in reality in this extremely chaotic time and act ruthlessly when necessary.
No matter which point, Zhang Rui thinks he is a person worth making friends with.
Therefore, when faced with Chang Ruijia's request to join the settlement, she certainly agreed with it in her heart.
For what they want to do in the future, it would be great to have more help.
As for whether they can grasp such a person in the future, this is something to be considered after everything is over. It is too early now.
Therefore, when Chang Ruijia asked if she knew how to join the settlement area, Zhang Rui patted his chest and said yes without any delay, and took her directly to a stall at the outermost part of the trading area.
"I'm the right person to ask for this kind of thing!" Zhang Rui said to Chang Ruijia as he paddled towards his target. "I've been in this market for quite a while, and everyone here knows everything. This little thing is nothing to worry about."
Chang Ruijia didn't say much about Zhang Rui's kind-hearted behavior. She just thanked her seriously when she saw the place she pointed out.
This is the benefit of consulting the right person.
Although I simply pointed her in the right direction, it saved her from wandering aimlessly around the market, saving time and reducing unknown accidents.
I don’t know if Zhang Rui has any other contact information with others. When a boy saw Chang Ruijia appear at the corner, he came up to her directly.
"Are you joining the settlement area?" The boy asked with a smile, his eyes sweeping across Chang Ruijia's bed. "Although there are many rules between the settlement area and the trading area, the security is indeed impeccable..."
When the boy introduced her, Chang Ruijia just nodded at first, without saying anything more, and followed his movements to be assigned to the position of managing the affairs of the two areas.
When watching the staff preparing things, the boy who came to greet them at the beginning couldn't help but start talking.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a comfortable floating object," the boy said to Chang Ruijia with some envy, "Even in the entire market, this bed is definitely the best. Many people envy it!"
"Really?" Chang Ruijia smiled at his words, but didn't say anything more.
Compared to other people's floating objects, this bed did bring a lot of convenience from the beginning, but it also brought her a lot of threats along the way and was coveted by others.
But there is no need to say this to a stranger you are not familiar with.
"What I said is true," seeing that Chang Ruijia only responded briefly, the boy said as if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe him, "You'll understand when you meet more people in the trading area. There are all kinds of strange floating objects."
The boy seemed to be making small talk. Compared to Zhang Rui, who was perceptive and only considered himself an exchange partner, he was more like a chatterbox, constantly telling Chang Ruijia a lot of information that no one else knew.
After receiving a small object thrown by the person in charge, he directly put it in his hand and said to Chang Ruijia, "This thing is very useful in the settlement area. Let me take you there for the first time."
Looking at the person who diligently regarded herself as a guide, Chang Ruijia did not raise any objections, but just followed behind the person in silence.
I went back with him to the entrance of the settlement where I had met him last night, listened to him introduce the things in his hand in detail, and finally talked everything over with the manager at the entrance of the settlement.
"Okay, from now on, with this wooden sign, you can not only find your location in the settlement area, but you can also use this wooden sign directly in the trading area, saving you the trouble of having too many things."
The boy threw the thing he had been holding in his hand to Chang Ruijia and gave her some final instructions.
"Don't worry, I understand everything." Chang Ruijia, who had been silent all the way, said, and took a deep look at the boy who had been so attentive all the way. "I won't leave easily, don't worry."
After saying "don't worry" twice in a row, the boy immediately understood that Chang Ruijia knew that he had followed her all the way here, and he also knew what the people behind him were worried about.
"It's okay, it's okay." The boy's smile froze for a moment, and he smiled awkwardly, "Everyone has to go out for something at the last minute. It's okay."
Watching the boy leave without looking back, Chang Ruijia clenched the wooden sign in her hand, turned around and slid directly into the designated settlement area.
When she walked into this area, Chang Ruijia discovered that although this place and the trading area were in the same sea area and were even only a few meters apart, the atmosphere of the two places was very different.
If Chang Ruijia felt the bustling joy in the trading area, in the settlement area, there was only a kind of quietness that sank into people's hearts.
The bustling sounds from the trading area could still be heard, but the people in the settlement area seemed unable to hear it and had no reaction at all.
Even when a stranger like her broke into the area, they didn't show any other expressions except for a sidelong glance, and they were not afraid at all that she might cause any harm to them.
It seems like he has great confidence in the safety of this settlement.
However, in this atmosphere of deep silence, Chang Ruijia felt a sense of security that she had not felt for a long time.
It was the leisurely attitude of the people here, or perhaps it was the feeling that even if a stranger appeared in this area, there was still no other reaction. In short, after Chang Ruijia and others walked into this door, which was not really a gate, they felt as if they had been baptized.
The wooden sign in her hand had already marked the location of the place assigned to her, and the manager had repeatedly reminded her of the route to enter when she entered, so Chang Ruijia found this place without much effort.
How to say it, compared to the central location away from all the unknown situations on the edge that others yearn for, Chang Ruijia is more satisfied with this location on the edge of the settlement.
After living far away from the crowd for a long time, living close to the crowd does not make her feel more secure, and this location is actually just right.
Although there are quite a few people in the settlement area, it seems particularly well-organized compared to the chaos in the trading area.
The divisions within the area are extremely clear. The fishing lines that were used to warn people of danger in the trading area have become a way to divide areas between different people, just like using fishing lines to divide up one "parking lot" after another on the sea.
Everyone is just in their own exclusive area. No matter what is floating on the sea, as long as it is within the range of the fishing line, it will not affect the normal life of others.
After paddling into the area designated for her, Chang Ruijia looked around the edge and immediately understood how the managers and the managed could be so sure about the safety of the settlement.
I think the managers have worked very hard to ensure the extra safety of the settlement. The line around the very edge of the settlement is not a fishing line at all, it even flashes with a blue light.
That's clearly a circle of wires!
And it's a live wire!
I don't know what the market manager did, but this section of working electric wire was indeed flashing on the outermost circle of the sea surface, and it seemed that there was no leakage or electric shock caused by it floating on the water.
Thinking of the floating objects under the buttocks of the two managers guarding the door when entering the settlement, Chang Ruijia suddenly understood the source of this large circle of wires.
The initial wariness towards this settlement suddenly faded. This level of maintenance was already excellent, and it was hard for the managers to put so much thought into it.
The bells used to prevent danger were also scattered on the sea. In fact, Chang Ruijia was already somewhat inclined to try to settle down here.
Settlement area, settlement area, being called like this really makes people want to settle here.
However, when Chang Ruijia was preparing to carefully manage this small place that could now be called "home", an unexpected voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Chang... Ruijia?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, a smile suddenly appeared on Chang Ruijia's face.
"Aren't you going to do something super important as you said? I never expected to see you here."
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see you in the settlement area." Lu Baian laughed as he watched Chang Ruijia's hands move. "I thought you never thought about settling in one place for a long time."
The person who came was Lu Baian, who had just separated from Chang Ruijia not long ago. No one knew how they got together when one was heading south and the other was heading north, with completely unrelated routes.
I can only say that it is fate that came from nowhere.
