my game world

On the dark street, all the street lights seemed to have been damaged, and there was no one around.

Just when he was thinking about whether to use the breath of life to check the life around him, the sky above suddenly brightened.

But it turns out that this moment is not night, but day.

The reason why it was pitch black just now is that there is actually a huge dome covering the sky to block the rain from the sky.

But some rain dripped down as the dome appeared to be broken.

Now that the sky is clear and there is no more rain falling, the dome finally begins to open, making a roaring sound of mechanical movement, and spreading out towards the surroundings.

"A gray sky."

Zhang Yong looked at the sky and couldn't help sighing.

Just after it rained, what I got was not fresh air, but an environment full of high-energy radiation.

He believes that the environment in the city is already very good, if it is in the wild, then the environment must be worse.

After the dome was opened, there were gradually scattered figures around.

The interface began to gradually become lively.

It was only at this time that Zhang Yong was surprised to find that this world is really not the earth.

Because the human beings that appeared in front of his eyes were really hard to describe in words.

"This world is a little too crazy."

Zhang Yong stretched out his hand to hold the hood on his back, covered his head, and walked slowly into the crowd.

While walking, he was also observing those unexpected humans.

Walking towards him was a tall and strong man.

But unlike normal humans, his right arm is not made of flesh and blood, but is inlaid with a heavy and hard metal arm.

The structure is exquisite, the movement is free, and the strength is infinite.

On his shoulders, he was carrying a huge object weighing at least three hundred kilograms, but judging from his expression, it didn't seem like there was much burden.

Continuing to move forward, another girl walked past him.

Although her hands looked normal, what leaked from the shirt on her chest was not spring, but a silvery white metallic luster.

It is foreseeable that her chest has actually been replaced by a metal structure, but I don't know how much has been replaced, and whether the internal organs are no longer naturally generated objects.

From the expressionless expression of the other party, no more information can be seen.

"This place doesn't seem to be a good place."

Zhang Yong sighed slightly, he looked towards the sky, and suddenly saw a leaflet floating from nowhere.

Reach out and pick it up, holding the flyer in your hand.

So he saw the ad written on it.

[To celebrate the [-]th anniversary of the establishment of Changyao Group, a batch of second-grade clean water will be sold at a [-]% discount. 】

[There is no restriction on purchasing clear water at the same time. 】

Looking at the time, compared with the date I heard just now, it has been more than half a month.

Chapter 203 Expensive Water Resources (2/3)

Walking among the crowd, Zhang Yong kept collecting various information and integrating information.

After he walked back and forth on the street twice, the general information had been collected, and he fell into deep thought.

This world is very hopeless.

For ordinary people, it can almost be said that it is no different from hell.

An extremely tragic nuclear war once took place in this world, and the scars left by that war can be seen everywhere in the world.

The environment of the entire world has been destroyed to an extremely terrible level.

Except for mutated creatures in the wild, human beings can hardly survive.

The rainwater falling from the sky is rich in deadly corrosion and radiation. Only under the protection of the city's dome can human beings survive safely.

But even so, the number of places where the dome was corroded and damaged due to years of use, but could not be repaired, continued to increase.

When it rains, even in the city, you need to pay attention to the dripping of rainwater.

Due to the harsh wild environment, the plants have undergone terrible mutations, making it impossible to grow edible vegetables and fruits.

Polluted water sources are everywhere, and taking a sip can cost you your life.

Therefore, even people living in cities are extremely thirsty for food and drinking water.

There are a large number of food factories built in the city, producing various nutrient solutions and solid foods with unknown raw materials.

Because it is by the sea, it can also extract part of the less polluted seawater for purification and supply it to the people of the whole city.

But according to what Zhang Yong collected while walking around, it can be seen that these are just words.

In this city named "Sea of ​​Clouds", the classes are extremely divided.

The wealthy area in the central area, the surrounding stable area, and... the surrounding slums.

Unfortunately, the place where Zhang Yong is located is the slums of this city.

A very chaotic, disorderly place.

In this world, although there is still the concept of a country, Yunhai still has a lot of officials.

But in fact, it is several huge corporate groups that control the city.

[Changyao], [Hongtian] and [Anmosi].

A series of industries such as medicine, food, Internet, security, etc., are all in the hands of these three groups.

Even for city officials, their salaries are provided by them.

The law was revised according to their needs, and those who control the group are the real emperors of the entire city.

They live in the central area of ​​comfort and luxury, and do not pay attention to the slums around the city.

Although they are in the same city, the contrast between them is almost heaven and hell.

"Let the water go!"

Suddenly, Zhang Yong, who was considering his next move, suddenly heard shouts from a distance.

This is the cry of the water truck coming once a day in the slums.

Water trucks are a very normal situation in this world.

Because the water resources in this world are extremely precious, it is impossible to be like the earth, where there is tap water at home, and a large amount of clear water pours out with just a twist of the hand.

In this city, water resources can be called hard currency, especially for people in the slums.

They often need to spend more than one-third of the day's wages to buy water to prevent themselves from dying of thirst.

And the water they buy is not very good.

Water is divided into grades, and the price is naturally different for different grades.

Special grade water is the water that only the real top power holders in the Central District are eligible to drink.

Without a certain identity, even if you have money, you can't buy it.

This is from some extremely rare natural groundwater in the wild. It is sweet and clear, without any pollution and radiation, and can be drunk directly.

Even because it is rich in some natural minerals, it has become the top luxury.

More than 30 miles away from Yunhai City, there is a private cave that can produce some special-grade water. Every day, there will be a fully armed security team to escort the special-grade water into the city.

The selling price is about 120 yuan per gram.

The people in the slums, whose daily income is only in double digits, cannot even buy a gram of premium water.

First-class water, which is a normal source of drinking water for the rich and the top managers of the three major groups.

Although it is also natural water, it is somewhat dirty and needs to be purified through a certain process before it can be drunk, such as tap water on earth.

The price is about 500 yuan for 1000 grams.

Only the regal area of ​​the central location is for sale.

This is followed by secondary water, which is drinking water that the middle class can drink freely.

Purified by seawater, there is no radiation and other toxicity, and there is not much difference from first-class water.

But the price is only about 500 yuan for 200 grams.

Similarly, this kind of water does not appear in slums, but is sold in certain shops in Anding District.

The water brought by the water trucks in the slums is the third, fourth or even fifth grade water.

Whether it is third-grade water or fourth-grade water, they are all purified from seawater, but because the cost of purification into secondary water is too high, they will be classified according to different water qualities.

Class [-] water, because there is still a small amount of radiation pollution left, it will bring some bad side effects after drinking.

But because of the low price, it will also be used by the middle class in Anding District for bathing or planting flowers and plants.

The price is generally about 500 yuan for 50 grams, which is a rare luxury for people in the slums.

Most of what they need is grade [-] water, which has a lot of radiation pollution and some toxicity that cannot be eradicated.

It is a type of lower quality in the same batch of purified seawater.

The consequence of long-term drinking of grade 40 water is that it is difficult for people in slums to live longer than [-] years old, and a very high proportion has deformities and terminal illnesses.

But the fourth-grade water is also very cheap, usually only 500 yuan for 10 grams, and people in slums generally buy 30 yuan of fourth-grade water, which is enough to meet their daily needs.

And the worst grade five water, that is, the last residue after seawater purification, has great toxicity and radiation pollution, and it is difficult to eradicate and cover up.

It's just better than untreated water.

The fifth-grade water belongs to the category of complete gift, which is given to those who can't even afford the fourth-grade water and can only rely on this benefit to survive.

This is a rare bit of kindness from the upper-class people in the city. Unfortunately, these water trucks are controlled by the gangsters in the slums. The fifth-grade water is said to be a gift, but it also requires a certain amount of money to buy.

really free?

Does not exist in this world.

Zhang Yong looked at the neatly arranged plastic bottles in the water delivery truck. Each bottle is packed with a weight of 500 grams. At this moment, they are being taken out of the water delivery truck and thrown to the poor who have already paid. .

Occasionally, some people who did not have enough money cried, but did not attract any sympathy, and were directly kicked out by the gangsters guarding around them.

Chapter 204 The Slums of "Freedom" (3/3)

This world is very dark.

Although the sky has cleared, the sun shines on the world.

However, under the congestion of high-rise buildings, the slum where Zhang Yong lived was still extremely dark, and the surrounding shadows were always trying to devour the people here.

He is a little bit difficult now, he doesn't know how to integrate into this city.

Although this world is like hell, the development of science and technology is actually very powerful, much more developed than that of the earth.

He doesn't have an identity in this world, so he will be detected easily.

But Zhang Yong soon discovered that the people who needed identification were actually people from the Anding District and the Regal District.

Here in the slums... To be honest, in this city, people are not counted.

There are a large number of black households, criminals, and even rebels lurking in the slums.

For the slums, the rulers of the city only need to maintain a basic order - at least no riots of the level of riots.

In other respects, the slums are extremely free.

Even because of the large number of houses, anyone who came to Yunhai City and the slums could directly apply for a house.

You can live for free for three months, and then pay some rent every month.
