Walking aimlessly on the dilapidated street, Lu Xin realized that he hadn't looked at the street carefully for a long time.
The streets are full of potholes and dust, as well as standing water from a few days ago.
There are dazzling neon everywhere, intertwined into a chaotic and gorgeous color.
After the Red Moon Incident, the surviving humans in the high city walls seemed to be divided into two completely different types.
One is very busy, walking in a hurry, and there is no time to take a look at anything.
One is that they are not very busy. If they sat listlessly on both sides of the street, spread a piece of luggage in front of them, or set up a table with some wild vegetables, or some unknown meat, or It was some rough polished knives, or some hunters from outside the city went to explore the abandoned city and searched for some worn-out accessories, as well as unknown technological items and so on.
There are many more people, they just get together in groups of three or five, smoking cigarettes, and whistling to the women on the street.
There are still a lot of lunatics outside. When the high-walled city was first built, there was a period of time when people could not even eat enough to eat, but perhaps because there were fewer people in the world who needed to eat all of a sudden, the pressure on qualifications was relieved. The speed of civilization reconstruction has exceeded everyone's expectations. It has only been 30 years, and within the high city walls, there have been very few famines or starvation...
… Simply put, it’s not difficult to get a full stomach in a walled city.
… The hard part is how to make your life better!
This is the case with these people wandering the streets doing nothing. They have not even obtained the official status of the No. 2 satellite city, nor can they enter a professional technical school or school, and they have no hope of entering the main city to live in their entire lives.
So instead they give up all pursuits, do not work, and do not think about their life tomorrow.
They just walk on the street every day, staring blankly at everything passing by on the street, their eyes are empty, and they don't know what to think.
…
…
Lu Xin just walked down the street and looked at all the people.
He was looking to see if any of these people were as dangerous as the clerk at the corner coffee shop.
As long as you can catch one, you can make a lot of money and save a lot of people.
The figure of the younger sister always appeared from his side inadvertently. Sometimes, the younger sister appeared on the tall building beside him. On the head of a bald uncle.
The two brothers and sisters patrolled the streets so earnestly.
Then came across nothing.
"This city is too big..."
After walking around seven or eight streets, Lu Xin, whose legs were sore, squatted on the side of the street, smoking and eating a boxed lunch.
He summed up the experience in his heart: "Although the population of the high-walled city was small when it was first built, in the past few decades, more and more people have been born, and it exploded all of a sudden. There are more than one million people living in the satellite city, and the police complain every day that they are understaffed. It’s a very normal thing to encounter nothing like me.”
"Patrol a few more times, you will definitely encounter..."
"… "
After eating the lunch box, Lu Xin patrolled for a while, then went back to sleep and went to work the next day.
He has been like this for the next few days.
However, this too normal city made Lu Xin a little disappointed, and there was nothing strange about it.
"If this city is too safe to use me, will Colonel Chen and the others take back my subsidy?"
Lu Xin couldn't help but worry.
However, he didn't expect that his other job had a problem first.
"Little Lu, you don't have to come to work tomorrow!"
The director, whose hair was half bald but still combed carefully, pushed a dismissal contract to Lu Xin.
"why?"
The director's words surprised Lu Xin, and he couldn't understand it.
That job has not been turned into a regular, and this job has been fired. How can this be accepted
Although in today's post-Red Moon world, it is quite normal to be fired from a job because of economic instability, especially for someone like myself who just needs to sit in the office and use his brain instead of running to the dock or It was the busy work of the factory day and night, with many people staring at it, and the competition was extremely fierce, but Lu Xin still never thought that this matter would fall on his own head.
I do things very seriously, and over the years, I have never made any mistakes.
He is even a model staff member, and the pennant is still hung in his partition.
Even if you want to resign, how can you resign yourself
…
…
"Well, Xiao Lu, you have to understand!"
The director squeezed a smile on his face, took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Xin, showing his yellow teeth stained with smoke and said with a smile: "The company is in a recession now, the same job can't support too many people, you Compared with Xiao Lu, the business ability is similar, but Xiao Lu's work attitude is much better than yours. Look at you, you have left early every day recently, and before you get off work, you will be nowhere to be seen..."

"Lu Cheng?"
Lu Xin remembered the young man who always accompanied his smiling face to teach him how to deal with work, and fell silent.
He also knew what the director meant when he said he left early.
In fact, I didn't leave early, but I didn't take the initiative to stay and work overtime.
"Director, can you give me another chance?"
Lu Xin had a lot to say in his heart, but in the end he just asked in a low voice.
The director had an embarrassed expression on his face: "Oh, you are an old employee, and I can't bear it, but in our company, you know that one radish and one pit can't afford idlers. If the ability is the same, the attitude very important… "
Lu Xin didn't listen to what he said later, because he knew it was false.
When he left the director's office, he saw that his belongings had been packed and put in a box.
I don't know who is so kind.
"It was Lu Cheng who cleaned it up for you. He had long thought of moving to your place..."
Next to the partition, Aunt Sun, who had permed hair, whispered to Lu Xin, "Xiao Lu, it's not Sister Sun who told you, you're just too honest. I told you before, don't teach others everything, you Look, is someone taking your job? I heard that this kid is amazing, he has a relationship with the director's daughter, the director is so smart, how could he not give his work to his family? "
Lu Xin silently looked at the pennant in his box, reached into his backpack, and touched the gun inside.
But in the end, he still didn't pull it out, but first came downstairs, lit a cigarette, and then slowly paced.
He remembered what Chen Jing had told him before.
If you're in trouble in your life, here are three pieces of advice for yourself.
One is to call the police.
The second is to call her.
The third is the use of guns.
