“Apart from those who are injured and on leave, no one is allowed to be in the residential area of the industrial zone during the day. Otherwise, they will be punished. Injured people can register in the system and can only return home to recuperate after the review is completed.”
"The information on the ID card and the amount spent are credited to my salary daily and can only be used within the jurisdiction. Private transactions are not allowed."
"..."
After seeing the contents of the picture, Lu Yuan felt more and more depressed.
"Damn it, I originally thought we could exchange our food for some money, but I didn't expect that they don't allow private transactions here. We can only make purchases in their establishments. Now it's basically impossible for us to find a house or exchange goods."
Han Wen's face showed a hint of frustration.
"That's right. This money is just a string of numbers. It can only be spent within their area. It seems that if you want to spend it in other areas, you need to deduct a certain amount of tax."
Then everyone fell silent, heads bowed, unsure of what to say.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan decided that they could not waste any more time, as there were only forty minutes left before the major power outage.
"Let's find a place to settle down first, otherwise it's not good to keep drifting around outside. Does anyone have any new discoveries? Come over here and report quickly."
At this moment, Wang Mingming walked up with his sister, a hint of fear on his face.
"We just found some information, but we don't know if it's useful."
Upon hearing what the other person said, Lu Yuan quickly pulled him over: "Tell me, what is it? We can't waste any time right now. You need to integrate into our group as soon as possible."
"Oh, it's like this, I think I found a place that looks like an agency over there, I don't know if I can go there."
"Oh? There are agents too? How far are they from here? Let's go there right now."
Wang Mingming shook his head: "It's quite far. My sister and I walked for about forty minutes before we saw that place. It would take at least one or two hours to walk there."
Then the other person took out a phone with a shattered screen from their pocket, unfolded the picture, and saw that the picture on the screen was slightly blurry, as it was taken by zooming in.
"Industrial Zone Ninth Street Agency"
Do you remember this place?
Wang Mingming nodded vigorously.
"Alright, remember this place. We'll go there tomorrow. The most important thing right now is to find a place to stay. The big power outage is coming soon, and we might be in danger."
Everyone tensed up immediately, because each of them was carrying a bag containing food. If the workers in the factory found it, it would undoubtedly bring them great danger.
Time passed by, and the group continued to move forward along the road. Apart from the factories in the industrial zone, there was nothing else along the way. Occasionally, they could see residential areas, but without exception, each entrance was guarded by robots.
"Damn it, we've walked for so long and we don't even have a place to settle down. Are we supposed to camp here?"
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, looked around, and glanced at the countdown in the sky. There were less than ten minutes left, and right in front of them was a smelting plant.
"Wait a minute, let me go and find out."
After saying that, Lu Yuan walked quickly forward, and the security guard at the door seemed to be packing up his things.
"Uncle, I'd like to ask you something."
Lu Yuan walked up to him anxiously and asked.
However, the security guard didn't seem to care about Lu Yuan. He continued to pack his things and would occasionally look up at the clock on the table.
"Uncle, I'd like to ask if there are any real estate agencies or places to stay around here?"
The other party waved his hand impatiently: "No, you should go to the border of District Nine and take a look. That's where you're looking for."
After saying that, he lowered his head and started packing his luggage again. There were still eight minutes before the major power outage.
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, then with a smile on his face, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and secretly slipped it onto the other person's desk.
"Uncle, could you give me directions to that border area you just mentioned? We're new here and not very familiar with the area."
After glancing at the cigarettes on the table, the other person not only licked their lips but also looked around. Finding no one nearby, they quickly put the cigarettes into their pocket.
"That place is about a 20-minute walk along this road, but the power is about to go out, so you have to hurry. Otherwise, the robbers who come out at night might strip you naked. It won't kill you, but it will be very cold at night."
The other person spoke very quickly, and after finishing, continued to pack their things.
Seeing that the other party was in a hurry, Lu Yuan stopped bothering them, picked up his things, and quickly ran towards the group.
"Come on, follow me right now. Keep going straight along this main road. There's a border area over there, and they say it's a place where you can save your life. Let's go there first, otherwise we'll be helpless when the power goes out."
Everyone immediately slung their bags over their shoulders and quickly followed Lu Yuanchao.
