I Have a Job

Chapter 282: Life in the End of the World Is Getting Better

And just when Su Wu and the girls were vacationing in the garden.

The small farmyard has now grown into a giant in Dongzhou.

Still moving forward along the trajectory that has already been set.

400 kilometers north of Jianghe City.

Steel City.

This ancient industrial city has experienced many natural disasters and the baptism of the last war.

Slowly fell silent again.

But under the thick snow and the frozen factory building.

Deep underground.

In the underground shelters that were once dug out by countless workers using crude machinery.

But it is undergoing a huge change.

In the eastern part of the city, inside a large shelter.

"Attention, residents of Angle Steel Street, everyone go to Plaza 2 on the first floor of the shelter immediately."

"I repeat, everyone go to Plaza 2 on the first floor immediately. Do not hide for any reason."

Outdoor public broadcast.

The call to action was sounded for the seventh time.

Because of tiredness, Ding Kai, who was still asleep, turned over subconsciously.

I ignored the broadcast in a daze.

And just at this moment.

There was a banging sound on the door, accompanied by a man's angry curse.

A sound much louder than the radio, and a vibration that almost reached the dormitory.

Let Ding Kai gradually wake up.

Then he recognized the person outside the door as Yuri, the police chief who was in charge of their block.

He was suddenly frightened and the remaining sleepiness disappeared immediately.

No time to clean up.

Ding Kai quickly stood up and opened the outer door of the dormitory.

"What's going on?"

"Everyone in your dormitory is dead? They didn't even wake you up before they left."

Yuri, who was standing outside the door, started cursing.

Ding Kai bent down in fear.

He apologized out of habit.

"I'm sorry, Chief You, I was so soundly asleep that I didn't hear it."

"I have two good cigarettes in my hand, please——"

Ding Kai hadn't finished speaking yet.

Then Yuri's face changed and he interrupted with a rude wave of his hand.

"Who wants your stuff?"

"I only want you to come with me to the square right now."

After saying this, Yuri didn't wait for Ding Kai to react.

He turned around and left in a hurry.

Ding Kai watched Yuri's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

I felt uneasy.

Having lived here for a long time, he naturally knew what kind of person Yuri was.

Stingy, greedy, and extremely cruel.

Anyone he approached would be punished unless they could offer him a bribe that satisfied him.

There will definitely be suffering later. In the worst case, they may even be sold as goods to gangs.

This time Yuri refused to accept his bribe.

It is highly unlikely that he has changed his gender, there could only be other reasons.

"I just got up a little late."

"It won't be serious."

This reminds me of the miserable end that some people in the legend suffered when they failed in bribery.

Ding Kai couldn't help but shiver.

The more I think about it, the more scared I become.

But now is not the time to be in a daze.

Watching Yuri walking further and further away.

Ding Kai could only temporarily put aside his anxiety and jogged after him.

Following Yuri, we arrived at Square 2 on the underground floor.

At this moment, this place is already crowded with people.

Ding Kai took a quick glance and estimated that there were at least several thousand people.

I'm afraid all the residents of Jiaogang Street have really gathered here just as the broadcast said.

What made Ding Kai feel a little relieved next was.

He didn't seem to be treated differently by Yuri.

After leading him to a queue, Yuri left without paying any more attention to him.

I waited for more than ten minutes.

When it was Ding Kai's turn to be at the front.

He then discovered that this was actually a supplies distribution point.

After receiving a mobile phone, a pair of wireless headphones, and an electronic bracelet from a humanoid robot opposite.

Next to the robot, a soldier wearing exoskeleton armor gave him brief instructions.

"From now on, you must wear the bracelet in any situation. The earphones must be worn all the time except when you are in the dormitory, taking a shower, eating, and in the entertainment area."

"In addition, the bracelet and earphones are free. The price of the mobile phone is 5,000 contribution points."

"Once you are assigned a job, the funds will be automatically deducted from your work account in installments."

Ding Kai listened and nodded obediently.

He didn't care at all about the indifference in the soldier's tone.

Ding Kai has been beaten by the shelter society in the end times for more than half a year.

I understand that it is those people who ask nothing of themselves that are the best people to be reassured by.

As requested by the soldiers, Ding Kai put on both the bracelet and headphones.

Then, there was a slight beeping sound in the earphones.

A female voice without any fluctuation in tone came into his ears.

Ding Kai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at the soldier wearing exoskeleton armor.

The latter seemed to know what he was going to say.

Before Ding Kai could actually say it.

He waved his hand impatiently and drove him away.

"Follow the instructions in the headphones, don't ask me."

Knowing that the soldier didn't want to continue talking to him.

Ding Kai wisely shut his mouth and planned to go back and wash up according to the instructions of the voice in the headphones.

However, when he was about to return to the building where the dormitory was located.

He accidentally discovered several tall young men.

It happened to be blocking his way.

Ding Kai's expression changed slightly.

He knew those guys; they were all members of the Wolves gang that once ruled the refuge.

Of course, unlike official gang members like Yuri.

Among these people, including the leader named Brother Hu, they can only be regarded as non-staff personnel, commonly known as gangsters.

In terms of power, there isn't much.

On weekdays, he only dared to extort small things and have some fun with ordinary people like Ding Kai.

Hesitantly, he slowed down his pace.

Ding Kai wondered whether he should avoid them first.

Brother Hu, the leader over there, had already spotted Ding Kai's figure from afar.

He called a few of his younger brothers and surrounded him quickly.

"That's him."

"He was the last person here to go to the square to collect supplies."

A certain gangster looked at Ding Kai unscrupulously with the eyes of someone looking for Kaizi.

Revealing his background as if writing a report.

"Brother, come here, I have something to ask you."

"Come with me and talk to the side."

Brother Hu put his arm around Ding Kai's shoulders.

Using strong force, he was taken hostage to a dark and deserted maintenance passage.

Half a minute later.

Brother Hu who felt that he was no longer under surveillance.

The expression on his face immediately became fierce.

With a sudden force, Ding Kai was thrown against the wall.

Bang!

Ding Kai groaned.

I just felt my entire back was hurt by the impact of the concrete wall.

But he didn't care about that.

He nervously looked at the thugs who were slowly approaching and begged for mercy.

"Brother Hu, we can discuss this."

"I've never been disrespectful to you before."

"Boy, you are quite sensible."

Brother Hu looked pleased when he heard this, but he had no intention of letting him go. He grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of him.

"Since you are our first order since opening today."

"It won't embarrass you."

"Hand over the phone you just received, and you can get out of here."

Ding Kai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, as long as it wasn't murder.

Everything can be discussed.

It's a new phone I just got, and I haven't even had time to turn it on and take a look at it.

It's a bit of a pity that it's about to be snatched away by someone.

As for the so-called 5,000 contribution points, I don't know how long it will take to accumulate them.

Just at this moment.

The female voice that had given him instructions before suddenly rang in his ears again.

He was slightly stunned when he heard it.

This hesitant expression made Brother Hu mistakenly believe that he wanted to go back on his word.

The right hand that was grabbing his collar immediately tightened its grip a little more.

"Do you want to—"

The words have not been finished yet.

A slight buzzing sound was heard.

A drone dropped from a great height, firing an electromagnetic gun with a cold metallic luster underneath it.

Pointing to Brother Tiger's head.

"Warning, you have violated the Jianghe City Public Security Ordinance."

"Have a crouch immediately and wait for the security team to take over."

Brother Hu's hair stood on end as the gun was pointed at him.

I dare not be so stubborn anymore.

He subconsciously let go of Ding Kai and raised his hands.

A face full of grievance.

"Sir, this is a misunderstanding."

"We didn't do anything."

"We're just talking to the old debtors who owed us things about returning them."

Brother Hu deliberately spoke slowly.

Wait until he finishes his last sentence.

A little brother standing behind the drone has taken out the crossbow he has hidden with him.

Quietly aimed at the drone that was hovering at a height of seven or eight meters.

But a second before he pulled the trigger.

The muzzle of the drone's gun suddenly turned towards him.

Then a blue light flashed from the muzzle of the gun.

A metal bullet hit his forehead in an instant.

Take his life away.

After many generations of upgrades.

Even as the lowest-level courier-level drone among Su Wu's combat units.

The new electromagnetic rifles have also been fully replaced.

Not to mention facing a civilian, even facing fully armed regular army soldiers.

It can also be easily killed instantly.

"Again, I will warn you if you commit an aggressive act."

"It will be regarded as resistance and killed on the spot."

There are bloody examples.

This time.

Facing drone warnings.

Brother Hu and the remaining gangsters suddenly lost the confidence to hold on.

They all squatted down obediently.

Then half a minute later.

Heavy footsteps were heard outside the maintenance passage.

Including Yuri, five or six guard members from the original shelter appeared here.

"Take them all away."

Yuri said in a deep voice.

The cold and hard voice made Ding Kai, who was standing beside him, feel a little scared.

But what made him a little strange was.

The security team members mentioned by these drones seemed not to have seen him from beginning to end.

They simply handcuffed Brother Hu and a few other men and took them away.

Even before leaving, he did not forget to clean up the corpse and the blood on the ground.

Finally, the entire maintenance channel was empty.

Ding Kai was the only one left standing there, looking around in a daze.

I almost thought I was hallucinating.

Limited by the time of rule.

The steel city that had just been occupied by Su Wu.

Except for the rulers who were originally at the top level, who were cleared out at the first opportunity.

Most of the remaining people were temporarily recruited by Su Wu.

Used to go through the transition zone of power transfer.

The people inside are of mixed quality, and most of them have committed evil deeds in the past.

But despite that.

Under the gradually mature management plan and close monitoring of artificial intelligence.

Although the grassroots are almost the same group of people.

But no one can abuse power for personal gain anymore.

They can only serve as management tools honestly and dare not overstep the mark in any way.

Of course, this does not represent the crimes they committed in the past.

He was pardoned.

At most, the sentence will be reduced by a certain amount because of the work during this period.

Wait until Su Wu has completely integrated the entire Steel City.

This group of people will also end their mission as tools.

Accept judgment from artificial intelligence.

Steel City.

This steel city at the end of the world.

Under the governance of Su Wu and artificial intelligence, the last bit of vitality belonging to the industrial city began to gradually bloom.

at the same time.

A farmyard in Jianghe City.

Tens of millions of people are caught up in the ocean of carnival.

Even though many people are still working.

They couldn't hide their excitement and joy on their faces.

Su Wu announced to them in advance the news that the labor system was about to change.

After six or seven days.

Wait until the construction of the farmhouse's underground 5th floor to underground 1st floor is completely completed.

The original mandatory 10-hour work day system will be abolished.

And began to gradually implement a trial of two days of vacation per month.

At the same time, the lowest level of survival package will also be provided.

With the price unchanged.

The staple food has been uniformly changed from the original mealworms, earthworms, spirulina, etc. to rice, as well as fast-growing vegetables such as potatoes, bean sprouts, radish sprouts, plus a small amount of chicken or fish.

This means.

Since entering the end of the world, humans have been forced to change their food rations.

This place in the farmyard will become history.

Everyone will return to their pre-apocalyptic dietary standards.

Even the poorest people will be able to afford rice and a small amount of normal meat.

"We are about to live a better life--"

The voice of countless people.

Penetrating the surface where everything has returned to silence.

With the help of the Internet, it has been delivered to every corner of Dongzhou.

Declare it to billions of your fellow men.

This is a miracle of the end times, and it is beginning to be born under their joint witness.

Tumen City is adjacent to Jianghe City.

A huge fleet of vehicles.

Traces left behind by the wind and snow.

Slowly drive towards the location of the farmyard.

In a large off-road vehicle that has been modified to look like a motorhome.

Qin Zhenghao turned his head and looked at a metal turret standing on the side of the road.

I couldn't help but complain to my companions.

"The defense here is a little too strong."

"There's a turret every few hundred meters along the road."

"There are also various robots patrolling in the sky and on the ground. They never stop."

"I even doubt whether there are more of them than the vehicles in our fleet."

The boy sitting next to him rolled his eyes helplessly.

"You really don't watch the news at all."

"We are getting close to Jianghe City. The straight-line distance to the legendary Qinling Mountain battlefield is less than 100 kilometers."

"It would be strange if there wasn't such a tight defense."
