It was nearly evening when it was finally Amo and his companion's turn to get a turn.
There was one table for each team, and two people could fill out the forms at the same time. Amo and Axu silently filled in their basic information such as names and hometowns, and then tacitly wrote "No" in the section on whether they had awakened superpowers.
The two of them were definitely going to go undercover. It wasn't that they didn't want to join the military, but Amer was very cautious and always felt uneasy.
Ah Xu had always followed Ah Mo's lead and blindly obeyed Ah Mo's decisions without any other thoughts.
The soldier collecting the data only scanned one ability category, and without seeing it, he blankly handed out a wooden sign, saying, "Go in, area eight."
The two took the tokens without saying a word and silently followed the ordinary people in front of them inside.
Nowadays, humans have no way to detect superpowers, so they can only search for people with superpowers by filling out forms. If someone like Amo and his partner intentionally hides their abilities, they will not be known at all as long as they do not use their superpowers.
The group behind them had quite a few people with superpowers who openly listed their abilities. These people had been using their abilities throughout the journey, so there was no point in hiding them.
When they entered the city, the superhumans were given iron tags with area numbers ranging from 1 to 3, clearly indicating that the city already had distinctions between "rich and poor, strong and weak".
Amo and Axu didn't care about this. They chose to enter the city as ordinary people, so they naturally didn't feel that it was unfair.
They had long understood the core of survival in this world: the law of the jungle, where the strong are respected.
Upon entering Liangcheng, residents with ordinary identity tags like Amo didn't receive many supplies. The Liangcheng government only provided "basic" food, such as a pack of biscuits or bread or instant noodles per day, and nothing else.
A pack of biscuits may not fill you up, but it won't starve you either. In short, to survive, you have to search for supplies yourself or take on jobs from the authorities in exchange for money and food.
Previously, supplies could still be found in the ruins, but now, what's easy to dig out has been dug up, and what's not easy to dig out and collect has been controlled by the authorities. Ordinary people can only find odd jobs.
The original survivors in Liangcheng lived a relatively good life, not too badly, since there was no official intervention after the disaster, and people had collected and stored up supplies to some extent.
The hardest thing is for those who came later, like Amo and his group. They had traveled a long way and had almost nothing left. Now, supplies are hard to find in the city ruins, and they can only rely on the jobs provided by the government to receive supplies.
Otherwise, the only option is to leave the city and risk hunting in the forest. The dangers of leaving the city are self-evident. The animals in the forest are several times more ferocious than before, not to mention the threats from mutated plants and strange beasts.
Therefore, most ordinary people would not leave the city. They would rather work hard in the city, take on tasks from the government, and do reconstruction work to make a living.
As for water, there is no worry. The earthquake and the spiritual energy that brought it back to life did not pollute the water, so the water is still clean. It's just that it's not as convenient to use as before.
The city's existing water pipes and other infrastructure had long been damaged and unusable. The military and government had gathered manpower and resources to establish a new water source, but even this water supply was insufficient for the military, so it was naturally no longer available to ordinary people.
Therefore, the survivors still had to fetch water from the source themselves, and primitive methods of water collection, such as carrying water, reappeared in people's daily lives.
Amo and Axu breathed a slight sigh of relief when they arrived at their assigned accommodation. In front of them was a large area that had collapsed. It looked like it used to be a residential area, but most of the buildings had collapsed, leaving only a few half-built remnants barely standing.
The neighborhood was full of dilapidated buildings with ruins and fragments, with most of them having only a few houses that were barely habitable. The two of them didn't say anything and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
This is true of most urban buildings today; those well-preserved buildings are not for them to live in.
The guide gave each person six packs of instant noodles, saying it was a three-day relief ration. He then explained the rules of Liangcheng, and without waiting to hear whether anyone had listened, he turned and left without looking back.
No one dared to complain. They put away their food rations and sighed as they began to tidy up the building. Although it was dilapidated, at least it provided a place to live.
For the past two weeks, they've endured traveling through the wilderness and sleeping in the open, so what's this situation compared to that? Everyone has accepted it, and some even think it's not so bad.
Amo and Axu didn't fight for the "good" room. They sat on the ruins in front of the dilapidated building, quietly looking at the desolate city. They felt content as long as there were no mutated plants or animals to bother them.
"Let's go check out the information center," Amo said in a deep voice after resting for a while.
As the guide just mentioned, if you want to find a job or go out of town in a group to look for opportunities, go to the information center. It's where all the city's information converges, and you can also post missing person notices, etc. In short, it has many uses.
Ah Xu silently got up and followed.
The setting sun cast long, narrow shadows, while the sounds of bustling activity from the ruined neighborhood became the background. Perhaps two young men who had escaped from a small mountain village would write a fascinating story in this slowly recovering city.
The information center in the area for people with superpowers in Liangcheng.
A large yellow dog, about the size of a lion, lay sprawled in the square in front of the information center, its eyes half-closed, looking drowsy.
A small figure leaned against it, completely concealed by a hooded trench coat, but it was still clear that it was a young child.
