Chapter 5
"stop!"
At the same time, the black-faced guard's limbs bent strangely and he fell to the ground instantly. His baton was also hit far away by an invisible reverse force.
The timing is just right, not a minute more or less.
The black-faced guard fell to the ground strangely, and the scene suddenly became quiet, as if one could hear the sound of a huge stone falling to the ground in one's heart.
After a while, the three siblings turned around and looked at the person who came. It was Ye Qing, the young lady they met the day before yesterday!
Ye Qing had originally planned to come here early in the morning to solicit customers, but he became furious when he talked about Shanhai City.
Ever since she obtained the skills from her previous life that were compensated by the system, she could teleport to the gate of Shanhai City in just a few minutes, covering a distance of more than 50 kilometers.
This Shanhai City was indeed much more magnificent than her small, shabby building. The entrance gate alone was a full 20 meters wide, with dedicated pedestrian and vehicle passages. Furthermore, it had a roof, reinforced steel walls, and the buildings were very tall, the roof as large as a three-story building before the apocalypse, and the shape was very similar to the gymnasium that had been built before.
When she first arrived, she followed a group of people who had returned from hunting at night into the city. The hunters entered smoothly, but when it was her turn, she was stopped.
The guard was in a decent mood, but he had a deadpan expression on his face: "ID card."
Ye Qing: "Hmm?"
The guard's expression remained unchanged as he repeated, "Shanhai City Resident Identity Card."
Ye Qing: "No."
Seeing a slight fluctuation on his face, Ye Qing added: "I won't do it."
The guard took a deep breath and patiently explained, "Nothing is impossible to get in."
Ye Qing's words were practically dancing over the guard's head: "What if I insist on coming in?"
Ye Qing felt that she had said nothing wrong. She had her own shelter. She had come to him to rob people, so how could she send residents to him? However, this guard looked quite stupid. He could have said it clearly in one sentence, but he had to repeat it several times.
The guard's face finally fell. He couldn't understand why this person with zero superpowers seemed quite normal but exuded such clear stupidity. It was a good thing that he had a good temper when he met him. If it was another colleague on duty today, he would have probably waved his baton and chased him away.
It was the first time he spoke at such length, and he was almost out of breath: "If you still want to enter without a resident ID card, go to the small room next door and ask the staff to apply for a temporary ID card. If you don't get one, you can't enter. If you still want to enter, there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry."
Ye Qing understood now. She glanced at the guard with disdain, and walked towards the small room with her head held high like a proud white swan.
The guards could still hear her complaints from a distance.
"Oh my god! Why is this transfer so lame? They even treat people differently!"
"No, no, it's still not as good as my shelter."
There is a reason why it is so dilapidated. Resources in this world are scarce, and all available resources will be allocated to those who are useful.
In the first few years after the arrival of radiation, people knew very little about it and all followed the Internet and government arrangements to hide in shelters. At that time, a place in the shelter was almost a hot commodity that was hard to come by at a high price. Applications for resident status in the shelter were very popular, and there was frequent travel between the shelters.
Later, order gradually stabilized. The government estimated that the food reserves were insufficient, so they used various methods to drive people out to search for supplies. Some people also underwent positive mutations and gained the ability to protect themselves, so people were willing to go out.
There was radio communication between the shelters, and the exchange of goods was handed over to the diplomatic missions and merchant groups. They would simply bring the ultimatum documents, report their names, and open the city gates to welcome them. There was no need for the staff of the coordination office to take action.
For this reason, the status of the building that symbolizes the prosperity of Shanhai City was reversed, with a large city gate used for entering and exiting the city and a small, humble room used for recruitment and transfer.
Shanhai City, Recruitment and Transfer Office.
Morning time, 6:15.
Damao was the first to react: "Sister, did you save us? Thank you."
Ye Qing nodded slightly, walked in with his hands behind his back, and looked around as if he was examining something.
After looking around and shaking his head uncontrollably, he finally brought the topic back to the point: "Are you all okay?"
Damao looked at his blackened hands and shook his head: "It's okay."
It will only hurt for a while and will be gone after a while. As for the darkness, it’s okay. He doesn’t care about it.
Ermao and Sanmao also shook their heads. They were the combat output, and Ye Qing came like a god to save them before they were attacked.
Ye Qing was not a person who asked too many questions. He searched the unconscious black-faced guard and took out a black box. He gently pinched the iron lock with his fingers, and the steel lock instantly turned into a pile of ash and fell to the ground.
She snapped her fingers again, and the dust dispersed, the last trace disappearing.
Seeing this, the three siblings were so exaggerated that they could almost fit an egg in their mouths.
Damao was the most conspicuous. He stared with his eyes wide open, almost unable to believe his own eyes: "Sister, do you have special abilities?"
The people with superpowers in this world can sense each other. Could something unusual have happened, or could my sister be able to hide her superpowers? That wouldn't be possible. She was so miserable the last time we met.
Ye Qing nodded, then stood up: "What I said before still counts, do you want to go to my shelter?"
This time, Damao's opinion of Ye Qing changed greatly, especially with the black-faced guard, a morally corrupt control group.
He nodded hurriedly: "Let's go! We will take good care of ourselves and won't cause you any trouble."
Ermao echoed: "I can run fast and will attract the beast away."
Sanmao followed suit: "I can sweep the floor, cook, and wash clothes. I can do any job!"
Ye Qing frowned slightly, feeling that the black factory was hiring child laborers. But now it was the end of the world, and even babbling children were being taught how to survive. Where were the laws and morals? She felt at ease assigning work to the child laborers.
"Well, you are now part of my Utopia Sanctuary. Now, follow me in and do business."
Damao felt like something was missing from the ceremony, but he nodded and replied, "Okay."
Ermao and Sanmao had never seen the world before, and they just laughed foolishly. They were particularly excited: "Great! We finally joined the shelter!"
Ye Qing then took out the seal from the box, walked to the desk, took out a few wooden plates, pressed a few stamps on them, and then distributed them to three people one by one.
She used her consciousness to test it and found that the ink used for this seal was a dye made from a special species and would disappear after one day, which meant that it could only stay here for one more day.
However, one day is enough. She is worried about the shelter being left unattended, and she does not plan to spend the night here.
She stuffed the seal into the box and threw it accurately next to the black-faced guard, then walked to the back of the room with her three newly recruited followers.
"Sister...Boss, what about the guards?"
"Don't worry."
......
The dark-faced guard woke from a nightmare of twisting a doughnut, only to find his body aching, as if he'd been beaten, though he couldn't remember who had hit him. Puzzled, he reached up to touch his swollen, aching head, but accidentally touched the small box.
The box rolled under the force, and the items inside fell out with a thud.
Something is wrong!
Lock? Where's the lock? Not only was the lock gone, but the interlocking clasp had vanished completely too. This was the lock the Metal Psychic had spent an hour melting, and it was gone just like that.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted again.
Meanwhile, Lu Anan was still studying the structure of Shanhai City to see if there was anything he could learn from it.
After passing the recruitment office, there are three closed rooms a few steps away. First, there is a fine spray, like washing a car, then a gust of wind blows on the body, as if drying, and finally a warm light, as if to heat people up. Ye Qing guessed that this is used to disinfect and sterilize people.
The whole process took only 3 minutes, but Ye Qing still felt it was cumbersome. After all, her protective shield would automatically isolate her from pollution, radiation and viruses as soon as she came in.
After passing the disinfection room, there are several gates. They are manual channels. After handing the card to the gate staff, you can pass through smoothly.
After passing the gate, there is a small open space with several stairs extending downwards on one side. At the other end is a large greenhouse, but the roof is made of special glass. There are guards at the entrance of the greenhouse, and they are armed with live ammunition.
Ermao and Sanmao had never seen the world before. When they saw the endless green land, they exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, those are the potatoes we eat, right?"
He covered his mouth as soon as he spoke and looked at Ye Qing cautiously.
But Ye Qing doesn't care about these things. What does it have to do with that? She will come up with something more explosive later that will definitely blind their eyes.
Let them know—
Whose shelter is the best!
Ye Qing took another look at the large greenhouse and couldn't help but think more. Although the greenhouse is large, it can't support the 100,000 people in Shanhai City. What do they eat?
She led the Mao team down the side stairs.
First floor, no entry except for government officials/family members!
Oh, no.
The second floor, no entry except for those with high/mid-level abilities!
Class discrimination is still very obvious.
The third level, no limit!
That's it!
The wind starts from the tip of the green duckweed, and the waves form from the ripples. If you want to change them unconsciously, you have to start with the ordinary people who are closest to life.
After going down 100 steps, you will arrive at the third underground floor, where houses are densely packed and arranged in a grid pattern.
Ye Qing stood in a corner and casually called over a little beggar. The beggar's clothes were tattered and he was sitting on the roadside begging with a broken bowl.
"Fairy sister, what can I do for you?" The little beggar couldn't help but stare at Ye Qing, who had an extraordinary temperament and was even more beautiful than the concubine of the Lord of Shanhai City.
Ye Qing took out a cup of mung bean paste and a butter bread from his back: "If you help me with a few things, I will give them to you. If you do a good job, there will be a reward~"
Da Mao curiously crawled behind Ye Qing, but found it empty. Could it be that the boss was a person with spatial abilities?
However, his surprise was yet to come.
Several young children looked at the fragrant mung bean paste and golden bread in Ye Qing's hands, and their worldview was instantly refreshed.
The little beggar's throat slid open, and he held back for a long time before he stopped his hand from reaching for it. He said cautiously, "What do you want me to do? I won't do murder or arson."
This thing looks very precious, how could I give it to him for no reason?
Ye Qing rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't want to kill or set fire to anything, just take us for a walk."
The little beggar was a little bit unbelievable: "It's that simple?"
Ye Qing raised his eyebrows: "If you don't want to do it, I'll find someone else~"
The little beggar immediately snatched the supplies from Ye Qing's hand and held them tightly: "I did it, I did it."
After giving it to him, Ye Qing also took out three copies and gave them to the three Mao siblings.
The little beggar was dissatisfied: "Why do the three of them also have it?"
Ye Qing: "They are my residents and they work for me."
"Is this all I have to eat just because I work for you?"
Ye Qing: "Yeah."
The little beggar tilted his head, as if thinking about something.
