Evernight God Walk

Chapter 36 Suffering
Su Shuang next to him behaved elegantly, ordered a bottle of red wine, and after waking up, ate and drank with Zhou Ye, talking about the affairs of the bureau and some interesting things that happened in the city.

Xu Shen and Cao Fei were obviously not interested in red wine, so after asking for half a sip, they looked constipated and buried themselves in the dishes again.

When he was done eating and drinking, Xu Shen was taken aback. This meal actually cost more than 2000 yuan!
The equivalent of spending 500 Luka coins per person!
Just one meal!

"The savings of the previous two months are gone like this..."

Xu Shen felt a pain in his heart, but when he rolled his tongue to see the food residue in his mouth, it felt really delicious, and he couldn't get enough of it!

Zhou Ye paid the price smartly, and 2000 was a lot of money for high-paying people like them, but as the captain of the second echelon, it was still affordable to enjoy it once in a while.

After eating, several people put on the coats they took off during the meal, and took the elevator downstairs.

"Hmph, why are these stinky rats here, how unlucky!"

There were other customers in the elevator. One of them, a lady dressed as a mature woman with rouge and red lips, caught a glimpse of the black combat uniform under Xu Shen's coat, frowned, and slightly covered the tip of her nose with her hands, showing a disgusted expression.

She didn't shy away, and her disgusted whispers reached several people's ears.

Several people were commenting on the delicacy of the food here. When they heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at the lady.

The noble lady's gaze was natural, she did not restrain herself at all, and she did not have the cold gaze cast by Zhou Ye.

Beside the lady, a butler in a blue suit stepped forward slightly and looked at the four of them indifferently: "What do you want to do?"

Zhou Ye noticed that the butler was wearing a gear-shaped medal on his chest, his face changed slightly, and he looked away.

Seeing that the captain was not angry, Xu Shen and Cao Fei realized that the person in front of them could not be provoked, so they held back their anger and did not speak.

Soon, the elevator opened, and several people came out in a file. The lady waved the air, as if she wanted to blow away some unpleasant smell, muttering and leaving accompanied by the housekeeper.

Several people looked at their backs, and Su Shuang's eyes revealed a look of extreme disgust: "I don't know which high-level mistress is kept by him, but she is just a domesticated dog, and she dares to speak so boldly!"

Cao Fei whispered: "Captain, who was that person just now?"

Zhou Ye stared at it for a while, then retracted his gaze, and said, "It's a member of the Steam Association. That girl may not be a high-level person inside, but she must have something to do with the high-level people inside."

"Steam Association?" Cao Fei was surprised.

This is a powerful force rooted in the inner city, and it is also one of the core forces of Termite City. Almost all parts and machinery in the city are purchased from the Steam Association, or in other words, they have to apply for purchase qualifications from it!
It is conceivable that such an organization has such wealth and connections in its hands!

Xu Shen has also heard of the Steam Association, and many of their smog people will be assigned to work in the units of the Steam Association after their training and adulthood.

Do the most primitive parts handling, parts grinding and other coolies.

Those fine technical tasks that require the use of eyes are done by ordinary people who have opened their eyes.

And those ordinary people who open their eyes are also "leaders" and "big shots" in the eyes of the fog people!
"Isn't the steam association in the inner city? I heard that people from the inner city don't easily come to our bottom city." Cao Fei asked suspiciously.

Su Shuang snorted coldly: "We also have a branch of the Steam Association in the bottom city. She must be a relative of a high-level branch. Judging by the tacky perfume smell on her body, she is definitely not from the inner city."

Cao Fei and Xu Shen couldn't help sniffing. Although the lady had left, there was still a strong smell of perfume in the air, which was quite nice. As for why Su Shuang said it was vulgar...they didn't understand either.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Su Shuang couldn't help but roll a blank look.

"Let's go." Zhou Ye shook his head slightly, and led everyone out of the hall.

At the door, the waiter had already received the message when their meal was over, and parked the car in the waiting area at the hotel door, and immediately drove over with the arrival of several people.

It was still early, so Zhou Ye drove himself and took a few people to his house.

Xu Shen saw that the outside was still full of lights and feasting, and it was extremely lively. It was like seeing a new world. It was the first time he discovered that it turned out that the outside could be so lively after nightfall.

Is this the world you can see...

In this hustle and bustle, there are no smog people, but normal people with their eyes open and reveling.

"Hmph, we worked hard to kill the beasts and defend the safety of the bottom city, and we were called rats by that stinky bitch, damn it!" In the car, Cao Fei was still brooding over the incident of getting angry in the elevator.

Originally, she had a beautiful meal tonight and was happy, but when she was about to leave, someone ruined the atmosphere.

"When they meet Xu, they will know that we are life-saving benefactors." Su Shuang snorted coldly.

Zhou Ye smiled slightly, stopped in front of a traffic light, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and immediately ran back with the cigarette case, only to be caught by Cao Fei.

"There's nothing to be angry about. There are many people like this. Don't worry about it."

He comforted a few people, but smiled in his heart, even if he saved them in front of Xu, it would not be able to change the views of these people.

There is no cure for prejudice and arrogance.

He was deeply touched by this, while Su Shuang and Xu Shen were not deeply involved in the world and were too immature.

……

Not long after, everyone came to Zhou Ye's house.

On a relatively secluded street in the urban area, the commercial street is two kilometers away. There are single-family villas and small manors here, and the environment is pleasant.

Compared with the bustling Mona Hotel located in the center of the commercial street, this place is relatively quiet, except for the occasional sound of vehicles passing by.

Zhou Ye checked the mailbox at the door, saw that there was no mail in it, and immediately led everyone into the courtyard of the villa, took out the key to open the door.

The lights in the villa are transparent, and every room in the villa on the third floor is lit.

Cao Fei was surprised and said: "Captain, your family is prosperous!"

Su Shuang rolled his eyes at him and said, "The captain's daughter is afraid of the dark, that's why she is like this."

Xu Shen was a little speechless, so he turned on all the lights when he was afraid of the dark?This is too extravagant!
Although the smoky people don't have access to electric lights, Xu Shen also understands that electricity is very expensive. I heard that it costs several yuan a night!

Following the rustling of keys at the door on the first floor, there was the sound of running in the villa.

Zhou Ye opened the door, and Xu Shen and the others saw a six or seven-year-old girl plopping up the stairs. Her feet were bare and she didn't even seem to care about wearing shoes.

"Dad, Dad is back..."

The little girl ran and screamed, her face full of surprise.

Zhou Ye piled up a wrinkled smile, his eyes were almost blind, he entered the door and put on cotton slippers, and hugged the little girl into his arms: "Let Dad kiss you."

Behind the stairs, an old woman in her [-]s or [-]s chased her down, yelling, "Slow down, don't fall!"

When he saw Xu Shen and the others behind Zhou Ye, he was slightly taken aback: "Master, are there any guests?"

"Well, some colleagues." Zhou Ye smiled, and carried his daughter to the living room: "Rong Rong, do you miss Dad?"

Cao Fei wanted to follow in, but was pulled back by Su Shuang.

At this time, the old woman hurried over, took out three pairs of disposable slippers from a nearby cabinet, and handed them to Xu Shen and the others.

Only then did Cao Fei come to his senses, a little embarrassed, and put on clean slippers.

Seeing that Xu Shen followed suit, he had a different feeling in his heart. Whether it was eating in the hotel, the street scene along the way, or being a guest at Captain Zhou's house tonight, he felt that his life was far from his previous life.

Is this the high life he longed for before?

Several people put on their slippers and entered the door. Zhou Ye smiled and said, "Sit whatever you want, Rongrong, call uncle and sister quickly."

Cao Fei complained: "Why is she an older sister and I am not an older brother?"

Su Shuang rolled her eyes: "Just your old face, it would be nice if you didn't call you grandpa, you think you are Xu Shen!"

"I don't dare to call you grandpa..." Cao Fei shrank his neck.

Zhou Ye laughed angrily, and scolded, "Get lost!"

Su Shuang also knew that she had made a mistake, so she was a little speechless, so she ignored him and went up to pat the little girl's head: "Did Rong Rong behave well at home today? My sister bought you candy."

As he spoke, he dug out a box of candy from his small purse.

Xu Shen and Cao Fei looked at each other, both a little embarrassed. Su Shuang got out of the car and said something was wrong. They thought that the other party had eaten too much drink and had to go to the roadside to have a urinate.

Instead, the two of them came empty-handed.

"Do you still remember Sister Su, I brought you candy last time?" Zhou Ye smiled.

"Sister Su..." The little girl seemed to be a little puzzled, she obviously didn't remember, but her eyes were fixed on the candy in Su Shuang's hand.

Su Shuang smiled and handed the candy to the little girl without embarrassing her.

"Sister Su has been here?" Xu Shen asked curiously.

Su Shuang nodded, "I live not far from here, and occasionally come to play and accompany Rongrong."

"Bragging, I don't think she has any impression of you at all." Cao Fei snorted softly, trying to expose Su Shuang's words.

Su Shuang's face changed slightly, she frowned and said, "Did you eat too much tonight, if you don't know how to speak, just say less!"

Cao Fei was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect that Su Shuang's face would change when he casually joked, and he seemed to be serious. He was about to ask the captain to comment, but he saw that the smile on Zhou Ye's face was also a little stiff. Already laughed a little bit reluctantly.

His heart skipped a beat. As a Ruins Slayer, he still had vigilance in his heart, and he realized that he seemed to have neglected something.

Seeing Zhou Ye's expression, Su Shuang couldn't help shaking her head secretly, rolled her eyes at Cao Fei, and said softly, "Captain, I'll take Rongrong upstairs to play for a while."

"it is good."

Zhou Ye nodded and handed the child to Su Shuang.

The little girl was holding Candy, but she reached out and grabbed Zhou Ye: "Dad, I want Dad."

"Dad will come later, sister will tell you the story of Dad, okay?" Su Shuang said softly.

"Okay, okay, I want to hear Dad's story." The little girl nodded repeatedly.

When Su Shuang went upstairs with the little girl, Cao Fei saw that Su Shuang was so familiar with the house, and asked with some doubts: "Captain, did I say something wrong..."

Zhou Ye shook his head slightly, took out a cigarette, lit it, and leaned on the sofa: "Rongrong was young before, and she accidentally got involved in the Ruin Beast incident and was a little stimulated, so her memory is not very good."
