"Twice great kindness, my lion can't speak, I will just say, this life will belong to the benefactor from now on, but the benefactor will be sent by him in the future, come in the wind, go in the rain, go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire, I will never Zou frowned." The lion solemnly promised. Although the more than one hundred men in the back did not speak, their eyes also revealed the same meaning.
"This place is nice." Liu Weian smiled and changed the subject. He is someone who wants to get out of the slave area in the future, so why do you want the lion's reward
"Yes, freedom." A look of disappointment flashed across Lion's eyes, and then he returned to normal.
free? Liu Wei'an was very surprised. Can this place be related to freedom
The lion smiled, quite proudly. He led Liu Wei'an into a building. Although it was dilapidated, it was still very strong. When the old and weak children saw the lion, they bowed to say hello one by one. It could be seen that the lion had a high prestige here. More than a hundred of his subordinates sent the injured back to the building to recuperate without waiting for orders, while the rest cleaned up the corpses.
"There's no food or water to drink here. You're laughing at me." The lion smiled apologetically, but he didn't feel inferior.
This should be a hall. At the moment, it is full of scrap copper and rotten iron, as well as piles of paper and plastic. There is a musty smell, and the oil left on the ground after dismantling the machine is dyed black. , with almost no foothold.
"This place is good!" This is the second time Liu Weian said this sentence, but the meaning is completely different. Instead of sitting down on a piece of wood that should be a stool, he browsed around.
"There is no one in charge here, no discrimination, no contempt, you can do whatever you want, although there is no food, no water to drink, and no beautiful clothes, but everyone here is very happy. Life is full of hope." The lion followed and saw Liu Weian stop in front of a pile of tires, and introduced: "These tires are all removed from the car, and each of them can be replaced with an energy tube, but , This is not cost-effective, if you sell the steel, rubber, and the inner parts and screws separately, you can sell three more copper plates."
"These PC boards are removed from TVs, mobile phones, tablets, computers, and some electronic products. They are plated with gold and silver. Unfortunately, we don't have the technology to refine them. Otherwise, people here would have no problem eating."
"The glass should be very valuable. Unfortunately, the buyer said it was too dirty and had too many bacteria. In the end, we had to sell it for a copper plate and twenty catties. There was nothing we could do."
"Many of these books are good things that have been around for hundreds of years. They have not rotted after being buried in the ground for hundreds of years. They should be worth some money. Unfortunately, we can't get out of that gate, and others can't see them. The person who bought these things said that a copper plate was thirty catties. I made up my mind several times but I was not willing to sell them. Gotta sell."
Liu Wei'an stayed in front of the books for the longest time, almost two minutes, before taking a step, continued to walk out of the hall, and there were also waste products piled up in the corridor, including rotten ceramics, rusty stainless steel, Beads with oil stains, broken glasses, bent spoons, broken cell phones with cracks, shoes that can no longer see the color...
The two stopped and walked in front, followed by some curious children, but they didn't dare to approach and followed from a distance. Finally came to the foot of a garbage mountain.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Liu Weian to imagine that the accumulation of garbage can be so spectacular and majestic. At least three hundred meters high, it is in the shape of a pyramid, with a sharp top, and the further down it is, the larger the volume. Standing under one's feet, one feels like an ant, so small.
Abandoned cars, deformed motorcycles, rotten sofas, rotten clothes and quilts, broken TVs, computers, giant containers, and even a rusty airplane nose, a hodgepodge of thousands of garbage, After hundreds of years of extrusion and precipitation, many things have lost their original appearance, and even stainless steel has rusted. A strong musty smell, rotten smell, and sour smell mixed together rushed to the face.
Liu Wei'an just stayed for a few seconds before he couldn't take it anymore, but the lion had a habitual expression, staring at this garbage mountain, there was no disgust on his face, only love.
"Hundreds of years ago, before the end of the world war, Mars was transformed into a habitable planet after Mercury, but because of the harsh environment, only a small number of people were willing to come. In the end, it turned out to be a garbage dump, with tens of thousands of tons every day. The garbage was transported to Mars. Over time, the Grand Canyon became a continuous mountain range, towering into the sky. It is estimated that no one would have thought at that time that the garbage would be reused. Soon after, the war of the end of the world broke out and the resources of the entire solar system were exhausted. , the garbage on Mars has become a hot commodity." The lion said here, with a smile that he didn't know whether it was mocking or lucky, "Everyone, you come and go, and take home the garbage you didn't want, but there are still a lot of leftovers. Down, these have become the foundation of our survival, and those high-ranking rulers probably never imagined that there will be such a day, just like us slaves, relying on rubbish."
The lion seemed to be laughing at himself, and seemed to be ironic. Liu Weian was silent, but he also felt that the world was impermanent. It is estimated that since the end of the war, no one will be able to predict the future trajectory of human beings.
"With this place as the center, to the west, north, and south, there are garbage mountains like this every fifty or sixty miles. Under each garbage mountain, a group of people gathers. There are dozens of people with a small number of people, and eight or nine people with a large number. Hundreds of people, we people, although they are also slaves, have our own order and rules, live, grow old, get sick and die, and don’t need to watch the lives of those nobles, but we are free and unrestrained.” The lion laughed, and the smile contained vicissitudes and sadness that did not match his age.
"Never thought about going out?" Liu Weian asked.
"I want to, I want to dream." After a full minute of silence, the lion opened his mouth, "Freedom? Even life is not guaranteed. Freedom is just a joke. There is no food or water here. The most serious thing is that it is extremely dangerous here. There is a lack of medicine, and a slight cold and headache can easily lead to death. Every day, some people here will not be able to survive tomorrow. I get up every morning to patrol, and I have to send one or two corpses to be buried. There are five or six hundred miles around here, and no one is over sixty years old. People here. The average age of the people here is no more than 30 years old, and I am already 25 years old this year, so I don’t know if I can live to be 30 years old.”
"I thought you were thirty years old." Liu Weian said in surprise.
The lion was so choked that he couldn't speak, and he said after a while: "People here have no food, and they take energy tubes for a long time. Although life is guaranteed, they lose a lot of nutrients, such as vitamins A, B, C, D, and for I don’t know much about trace elements such as calcium, sodium, zinc, etc., but I also know that if some things are missing, the resistance will become lower, the physical strength will be weak, and I will not be able to do heavy work, but if I can’t do the work, I will have no income. Without income, there will be no food. This continues. In addition, the people here, long-term consumption of unsanitary water, also makes their health poor or mutated. Many married people dare not have children because they are afraid of giving birth to deformed children. We are eager to get out of this place, but are afraid to get out of this place.”
"What are you afraid of?" Liu Wei'an asked.
"The people outside are cunning, do you know why I went to the commercial street last time?" A flash of hatred flashed in the lion's eyes, "The merchant who came here to buy garbage wanted to lower the price, I disagree, so he refused to trade with me, There was really nothing to eat, so I had no choice but to go out, but fortunately I met my benefactor."
Liu Wei'an stopped talking, not to mention the people outside the wall, that is, the people in the commercial street. They beat and scold slaves without any respect, because slaves do not have any human rights, and they are traded by merchants. , That is worthy of consideration. Strictly speaking, the lion is really not qualified to bargain. That is to say, the interests of businessmen are paramount and make money with anger. If it is an army force, they will not reason with you and eliminate them directly.
"Actually, these are trivial matters. The most fearful thing is that those of us who have not gone to school, have no special skills, and don't know what to do after going out, and finally become like those slaves on the commercial street. If you're numb, you won't be able to do anything except wait for alms. If that's the case, you might as well die." The lion sighed.
"This is a treasure." Liu Wei'an pointed to the garbage mountain in front of him, and changed the topic, "But in your hands, it cannot become a treasure."
The lion looked at Liu Wei'an, and his breathing suddenly became a little short.
"I can help you." Liu Weian looked at the lion and said seriously.
"Brother beggar, tell me what you need me to do." Lion didn't hesitate, "I said, my life will be yours from now on."
"I don't want your life." Liu Wei'an laughed, "Your life is of great use to me."
Two hours later, Liu Weian left Times Square, um, that's right, it's this dilapidated square, Lion really dared to name it.
Back home, Zhao Nannan and Zhao Xin had already fallen asleep. Lying on the bed, Liu Weian went through the plan in detail in his mind, making sure there were no loopholes, and then closed his eyes.
The next day, I got up and called Zhou Xingchen, but this guy transferred to the day shift and didn't come to work until eight o'clock, so Liu Weian had to wait until eight o'clock to find him.
"Recently, there are some matters above, and the examination of * certificates has become more stringent. It is estimated that the certificates will be delayed for about ten days." Zhou Xingchen quickly explained when they met.
"You can just watch this matter, I don't worry." Liu Wei'an didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I'm looking for you for another matter."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't need to press for the documents.
"Look for someone!" Liu Wei'an said.
"Looking for someone? Then you are looking for me." Zhou Xingchen laughed, "My uncle works in the Public Security Bureau—"
"It's not the one looking for someone." Liu Weian shook his head, and said seriously: "I'm looking for a businessman, a reputable one."
"This may take some time." Zhou Xingchen was taken aback, "What kind of businessman do you want to be?"
Ten minutes later, Liu Weian left, while Zhou Xingchen stroked the gold coin in his hand with a look of joy.
