After Xiaomei walked away, the boy who passed the ball to Zhang Can asked.
"Brother Chan, shall we continue playing?"
"I won't play anymore. I'm almost starving to death."
Zhang Can sat down on the ground.
"Shi Bo, you are so blind. Don't you see that Brother Can is getting upset?"
A short companion next to him said.
"Chen Xin, this is not me. Forget it. I won't say anything more."
Shi Bo scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
At this time, another companion named Wu Qi squatted down and said to Zhang Can.
"Brother Chan, we can't go on like this. We have to find a way to make some money, otherwise we'll starve to death."
"What good ideas do you have?"
Zhang Can raised his head and looked at his four companions.
"Or, let's go to work and do some work for others."
Shi Bo immediately suggested.
"If you don't go, how much money can you earn by working for others? Besides, those guys are so cruel that they will definitely treat you like an animal. The money you earn is not even enough to pay for medical treatment."
Zhang Can rejected it directly.
"How about we go pick up trash?"
Chen Xin suggested.
"It's no good picking up trash, I might as well steal it."
Wu Qi spoke up.
"Okay, stop talking about that and let me think about it."
Zhang Can waved his hand, asking his companions to be quiet.
Wu Qi and the others shut their mouths, and Zhang Can's expression kept changing. At this moment, he suddenly saw two figures appearing not far ahead.
He stood up immediately, his expression slightly moved.
Chen Xin and others followed Zhang Can's gaze and looked into the distance, also showing surprised expressions.
"Isn't that the city pig? How did it appear here?"
A fierce look flashed in Zhang Can's eyes, and he said fiercely.
"Never mind why they're here, there are only two of them, we might as well do one job."
"Ah, rob them? Is that okay?"
Shi Bo asked in surprise.
"What's the point of robbing? This is called borrowing. Besides, there's nothing to say about the city pigs."
Zhang Can said fiercely.
"But what if they call the police?"
"After you succeed, just hide away. It's so chaotic out there, who would really care? Are you going to do it?"
"Fuck, Brother Chan, we'll follow you."
The four companions nodded in response without saying a word.
"Okay, go get the iron pipes and bricks."
Zhang Can immediately gave the order.
"Okay."
…
On the other side, Huang Lang followed Shen Qiu weakly, and he said while panting.
"Are we there yet?"
"Well, we're at the periphery."
Shen Qiu glanced ahead and could already see some dilapidated houses sparsely scattered around.
In the garbage dump not far away, you can see several scavengers wearing old clothes.
When they saw Shen Qiu and Huang Lang, their eyes were filled with disgust, and some even spat on the ground.
Shen Qiu watched their actions and whispered to Huang Lang.
"Why do I feel that the people outside are becoming more and more hostile towards us?"
Huang Lang replied weakly.
"What's so strange about this? It's not the first day this has happened. The treatment outside and inside the city is already very different. Although they are both members of the Red Alliance, one is a biological son and the other is a bastard grandson. Who can balance it out?"
"I know, but the problem is that I remember it wasn't this serious before?"
"The situation was relatively stable before, at least we could still barely survive. Look at the situation now! The situation is so chaotic now, the difference in treatment is even more obvious. Let me give you an example. When we were attacked in Clear Sky City, as long as we called the police, I estimate that rescue would arrive in less than ten minutes! As for supplies, although there was panic buying in the city, at least there were designated places selling them at affordable prices. As long as you were willing to buy them, you would still be able to get them. If you really can't afford it, you can still buy them by spending a little more money! But it's different outside. The price outside changes every day, and you may not be able to buy them."
Huang Lang said breathlessly.
Shen Qiu fell silent for a while after listening to Huang Lang's words.
"Of course, I'm not saying that Clear Sky City is not doing a good job and doesn't care about the outside world at all! They actually did send personnel and allocated a lot of subsidies! But it's really a drop in the bucket. Because there are too many people outside, and they can't afford to support them. Forget it, let's not talk about that. It's none of our business."
Huang Lang said with a long sigh.
As Shen Qiu listened to Huang Lang's words, he became more silent. He certainly knew that what Huang Lang said was correct.
Of course, in the final analysis, it is still due to the shortage of resources on Blue Star. When there are not enough resources to be distributed, naturally only the strong are qualified to enjoy the resources, and the ranking of the eight major administrative departments is the best proof of this.
Just at this moment, when Shen Qiu and Huang Lang walked to an uninhabited open area, five figures suddenly blocked their way.
Shen Qiu and Huang Lang stopped and looked over carefully. They were intercepted by five thugs in old clothes. The leading youth was holding a rusty iron pipe, and the others were holding bricks.
"What are you going to do?"
Shen Qiu asked calmly.
"Nothing, I just want you to lend me some money."
Zhang Can tried his best to appear as ferocious as possible.
Huang Lang looked at the group of robbers, sat down on the ground and said to Shen Qiu.
"I'll leave it to you. I'll take a break and catch my breath!"
"Do you trust me so much?"
Shen Qiu glanced at Huang Lang who was paralyzed sitting on the ground and said.
"Oh, they are just a bunch of small shrimps. If you can't handle them, don't even mention that you know me."
Huang Lang was completely relieved. The brutal guys from the Defeat Cult were no match for Shen Qiu, let alone these small fry.
Seeing Huang Lang and Shen Qiu ignoring them, Zhang Can's face turned blue and red, and he said viciously.
"I asked you to hand over the money, didn't you hear me? Do you think my words are bullshit?"
"There's money, come and get it if you can."
Shen Qiu said with a long sigh.
Shi Bo and the others looked at Zhang Can at a loss.
"Then don't blame us."
Zhang Can suddenly became furious and yelled at Shen Qiu, then hit Shen Qiu with a stick.
Shen Qiu easily dodged the falling iron rod by turning sideways, grabbed Zhang Can's wrist holding the iron rod with one hand, and twisted it hard.
Zhang Can suddenly felt a pain in his hand and immediately let go of the iron rod, which fell to the ground. Shen Qiu then kicked Zhang Can and knocked him to the ground.
"asshole."
When Wu Qi and his companions saw Zhang Can being knocked down, they became very anxious and threw bricks at Shen Qiu.
As a result, Shen Qiu turned over, jumped into the air and kicked two people down with two kicks, then landed and knocked down one with a punch.
At this time, Shi Bo, the only one left, gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
"I'll fight you!"
Shen Qiu frowned slightly, then threw a heavy punch.
At this time, Zhang Can got up and saw that Shi Bo was about to be beaten, so he immediately rushed forward and pushed Shi Bo away.
Shen Qiu was slightly startled, then he retracted his strength and hit Zhang Can, knocking him to the ground.
"Brother Chan, are you okay?"
Shi Bo quickly helped Zhang Can, who had fallen to the ground in pain.
