The next day, Shen Tangtang woke up early.
When she returned to the gate of Dawn City, it was exactly 6 o'clock in the morning. The thick fog around her had just dissipated, and the roars of zombies gradually faded away.
With two clicks, the Dawn City Gate opened, and a group of scavengers walked out in a mighty procession. What's more, the scavenger at the front had to run even faster because there were so many people behind him that if he was a step slower he would be trampled under the feet of the crowd.
Shen Tangtang stayed in the corner, waiting for the scavengers to go out.
No matter what time, the people who suffer the most are those at the bottom of society.
At least now they can have enough to eat, and every scavenger who goes out to collect has anticipation on his face.
Although survival games bring invaders, they also bring new life. This is the only happy thing among the bad things.
Shen Tangtang stepped into Dawn City with her left foot.
"Stop, please state your name and number."
A cold voice sounded.
Shen Tangtang turned her head to look at the source of the sound. It was the mercenary who walked out of the lounge next to her.
When was a lounge built here?
It seems that Dawn City has changed since she left for more than a year.
"Shen Tangtang, number 999…9966."
"It starts with the number 9? Okay, it's definitely me."
The mercenary picked up something nearby and checked it, then looked at Shen Tangtang several times, and when he found out it was her, he let her go.
I don’t know what Lord Qiu is thinking, but he requires everyone to be checked before allowing them to enter the city, which increases their workload a lot.
Shen Tangtang didn’t care what the mercenaries were thinking. At this moment, she had already entered the shantytown and found that the houses in the shantytown were now so close to each other that there was no place to step.
When did Dawn City have so many people? She had lived in Dawn City for more than ten years. Every household in the shantytown was almost 20 meters apart. Except for the time when Shengcheng was destroyed and there were more scavengers fleeing, it had never been as crowded as it is now.
Shen Tangtang came to the door of shanty house No. 1 in the west district of the city and took a look inside.
After a while, a white-haired old man came out. Seeing Shen Tangtang, he was stunned and asked, "Little girl, what's the matter with you? Are you renting a room or checking out?"
Seeing that it was not the familiar district chief, Shen Tangtang subconsciously said: “Uncle, where is District Chief Qiu?”
"Oh, are you looking for District Chief Qiu? You can just call me Uncle Li. He's moved into the Noble District. Now, District Chief Qiu is no longer the district chief. He's in charge of our Dawn City now, so you have to call him City Lord Qiu."
When Old Man Li heard that they were looking for the former district chief, he was so happy that his teeth were not visible. If he had not been appreciated by Mr. Qiu, he would not have been able to become the district chief of the shantytown in the west of the city. Now the district chiefs of other districts are jealous of him.
Hearing that District Chief Qiu had now become City Lord Qiu, Shen Tangtang was surprised for a moment. Although she knew that District Chief Qiu was not simple, she didn't know that he was so extraordinary.
It turns out that you can't underestimate anyone around you.
"Uncle Li, is there any house in the shantytown that's a little further away from the crowd? I'm planning to rent it for a month."
It’s not that Shen Tangtang didn’t have enough points, but she thought that since she was here, it would be okay to ask. If there really was one, that would be great. She didn’t go to the slums again. Anyway, she didn’t really live there, she just needed a place to hide.
Old Man Li thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, little girl. I'll go get the notebook and check it."
Um... isn't bracelet querying supported now? Doesn't this old man have this right?
Of course Old Man Li knew that the district chief could use the bracelet to check for empty houses, but Lord Qiu had not given him this authority before asking him to stay here.
He felt very sad and could only take notes and report it.
Despite this, he knew that Lord Qiu valued him the most.
Shen Tangtang waited for 5 minutes, and then Old Man Li came out of the house with an embarrassed look on his face. He said, "Sorry, girl, there have been too many people coming in these few months, and there are no vacancies in the shantytown now."
Shen Tangtang nodded and thanked him, “It’s okay, Uncle Li, then I’ll go ask somewhere else.”
"Hey, girl, what uncle means is that there are no houses in the shantytown. Uncle has asked other districts for you, but they don't have any vacancies either. Don't make this trip in vain."
Old man Li was worried that Shen Tangtang didn’t understand, so he reminded her again.
Shen Tangtang smiled gratefully and said goodbye to Old Man Li.
She hadn't originally planned to look for a house in the shantytown, but she hadn't been back for a long time and subconsciously came here to take a look.
It was still early, so Shen Tangtang made a detour and went to the orphan concentration camp in the east of the city.
When they arrived at the entrance of the concentration camp, a little girl ran out from inside. She didn't look where she was going and almost bumped into her.
Shen Tangtang dodged, and the girl seemed to be startled and fell to the ground.
The little girl didn't cry, but just sat on the ground and breathed in the blood from the wound on her hand.
She looked up at the person who didn't take the initiative to help her up, a flash of resentment flashed across her eyes, but then quickly retracted it, and said in a milky voice: "Why didn't you pull me up?"
Shen Tangtang raised her eyebrows, took the little girl’s expression into her eyes, and said lightly: “Why should I pull you?”
"You knocked me down, so you should have pulled me up. Also, I'm hungry, so you have to compensate me with five nutritional supplements. No, ten."
The little girl's righteous look and loud voice attracted a lot of attention, and some children in the concentration camp also ran out to watch the fun.
From the children's whispers, Shen Tangtang knew that this was not the first time the little girl had done this. Since she arrived at the concentration camp, she hid behind the door every day and deliberately tried to scam passers-by.
At first, she was indiscriminate in hitting people of all ages and genders. After being beaten several times, she became obedient and started to specifically target young men and women who looked like they cared about their reputation.
The corners of Shen Tangtang's mouth twitched. Does she look like a big wronged person?
I looked up at the people watching the show around me and found Aunt Wang standing at the front, watching the show while eating pumpkin seeds.
Shen Tangtang looked at Wang Ma, a smile on her lips: "Wang Ma, do you think the dean will beat me if I kill the kid who hit the car?"
Mother Wang's eyelids twitched. Why did she feel that the voice sounded so familiar?
Suddenly her eyes widened, and she pointed her finger at Shen Tangtang and said, “Shen Tangtang?”
Didn’t this little girl leave the concentration camp?
I always can't get anything out of her hands, which is really annoying. Didn't I hear she left Dawn City? Why is she back again?
"Oh~ Aunt Wang still remembers me."
Shen Tangtang smiled, she could only tease someone as interesting as Wang Ma when she met one.
Mother Wang snorted, very proudly.
She has a good memory. It was this little girl who made her so fat because of anger. Her husband even insisted that she gained weight by herself.
How is that possible? Everyone has nothing to eat, including her. She is obviously fat because of anger.
