Doomsday Yuan

"What's the matter?" Mother Xu looked at Yue Zheng puzzledly, and then at the gate of the information hall.

"It's okay, where are we going?"

"District D."

"District D?" The legendary slum?

Xu's mother smiled and said, "Not all teams can afford to rent a house in District C. Although District D is messier, it is more affordable in some respects."

The car slowly drove into District D, which is said to be a combination of affordable and poor. Yue Zheng looked at the street outside the window, feeling a little stuck in his heart for no reason.

Unlike the remote and deserted district G, and even less the bustling chaos near Zhongxin Street, this place only gives people a feeling of "chaos", yes, it is chaos.

Under the eaves on both sides of the street that was obviously covered by snow, many young and old people with little mobility, wearing tattered clothes, stood on both sides of the road in the cold wind - begging.

Some passers-by were walking on the street, most of their clothes did not fit well, the weather was cold at the moment, most people in the base were unwilling to go out, and Yue Zheng didn’t see many people on the way there just now Hanging around outside, but here, there are obviously many more people outside.

Most of the houses on the street here are very similar in appearance, and the area of ​​each one seems not too small. When passing by the door of a certain house, Yue Zheng happened to see a closed room that hadn’t come—— Tong shop.In a room, on one side of the wall is a whole bed and on the other side is a whole row of cabinets against the wall.

Following Xu's mother's command, he drove the car into the community. On the road, he could occasionally see someone carrying a person wrapped in a tattered sack out of the house—a dead person.

The pure white snow outside the car and the cold breath are probably the culprits that caused the deaths of these people.

Xu's mother also saw those people carrying the dead outside, and sighed softly: "Oh my god, it's too cold."

"Is this also the case here?" Yue Zheng looked out the window at a man who ran to the window and begged with a small bowl.

Xu's mother nodded: "Don't give them anything." Then, she checked the window locks before explaining, "This area is quite chaotic, even if my colleagues and I came here before, we wouldn't dare to place an order. They don’t dare to stop the cars of the squad living in this area, or the cars with the logo of the squad, and they don’t dare to stop those who are familiar with each other, because they don’t know our cars.” Then, he sighed again. , "Someone gathered all the handicapped and non-working people together, and drove them out to beg in the daytime. Before, these people filled the safety zone. Later, the management personnel of the base came forward and put them away." They all rushed back to Area D."

"Can you beg for things here?" Yue Zheng was a little puzzled. There are beggars all over the street. There are really kind people, maybe there are not so many things for them?

Xu's mother sneered: "At first it was begging, but later it was changed to robbery. If you can't grab it, you can steal it. If you meet a person with supernatural powers or someone who knows kung fu, after being beaten, you will coax them away." Run away. So apart from the people who live here, outsiders rarely come here—unless it is those famous teams... By the way, there is no sign on our car? Remember to post it later , Generally, as long as there is a car with the team's logo on it, they don't dare to make trouble in broad daylight."

Yue Zheng shook his head with a smile: "It seems that this is the real place where the jungle of the jungle is prey to the jungle."

"Who says it's not? It will be better after the management is done now. If you had come a month earlier, the streets would be full of petty thefts!"

According to the direction indicated by Xu's mother, the car drove into a residential area. It was not as chaotic as outside, and there were scattered vehicles parked under the building.

Get out of the car, lock it, follow Mother Xu to the second floor of a building, and ring one of them.

Yue Zheng could hear the chaos inside, talking, chatting, arguing... It seemed that the voices in the front, back, left, and right rooms were all close to his ears, so he quickly controlled his hearing so as not to be disturbed to death by these chaotic voices.

"Who is it?"

"I."

The door opened, and a woman in her thirties stood in the door. When she saw that it was Xu's mother, she was taken aback for a moment, smiled, and asked someone to enter the room: "Sister He is here...you! You are all dressed! Yes male!"

Yue Zheng paused, hesitating whether to wait a while before going in?

A few women jokingly came from inside: "Who is still naked in such a cold day? Come in, come in!"

"Male? Where is it? Is he handsome? How old are you?"

"Ah! Handsome guy! Little girls! Come out! Sister He sent us a little boy!"

The house was originally a mess, but now it was even more noisy, and they all ran out to see the handsome guy.

Yue Zheng stood at the door, and suddenly had the urge to go downstairs immediately.

Xu's mother stood at the gate, with her hands on her hips, and she yelled fiercely, "Don't have sex with me! This is my mother's son-in-law, don't worry about it!"

There was a sudden silence in the room, and then, a little girl in her twenties threw herself on the Chase bunk and wept bitterly: "Oh! I'm letting people live! Good men are all fucked up these days, my sister! When can I get married..."

A woman a few years older next to her slapped the little girl's PP: "Don't think about it, you want to marry? Who dares to marry someone from our team? I was scared away!"

Yue Zheng's eyes swept across the shoulders of a woman in her forties with the best clothes, and she understood clearly - so this is the legendary "Widows Legion"...

All of the Widows' Legion are women, and counting them together, there are more than 30 in total.Crowded on the big bunk of the two rooms inside and outside.

Xu's mother shot away all the malicious women who tried to pry her son's corner, or tried to pry her son with malicious intentions, and also protected all the female wolf paws who sneaked behind her and wanted to take advantage of Yue Zheng.

Yue Zheng expressed his sincere gratitude for this. After all, even if he knew that these women were just joking... the power of so many women gathered together is quite amazing.

After negotiating the remuneration for processing cotton and rat skin, and stating that the work can start immediately, and can be processed overnight, the person in charge of the Widows Legion, the most well-dressed sister Wu in her forties, smiled and joked with Xu's mother: : "Why didn't you bring your son? Are you afraid that we will eat him?"

Xu's mother rolled her eyes: "We have to leave someone to look after the house, and we will see each other sooner or later."

"Okay, your child is capable. How far is it from City Y to here? It's really not easy to come here." Speaking of children, Sister Wu was very melancholy, and then thought of her son who died in front of her eyes , sighed with red eyes.

"Live well, we are all the same, if you can live one more day, you earn it." Xu's mother patted her on the shoulder, sighed, said goodbye to everyone, and went downstairs.

"Tomorrow morning, Xiao Song and I will send the things to their processing place. If you want to come out for a walk, come out together." After getting in the car, Yue Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the processing factory of the Widow Legion, It's not here in District D, but rented a factory building in District C.After all, the houses in District D do not need money, and the pressure in District C is still huge for women like them who cannot guarantee long-term income.

Even in the factory building in Area C, they shared it with another team, and they found the equipment by themselves.

"It's okay, the kids and I will get some more cotton tomorrow. I think it's going to be so cold today, so we should hurry up and get some more stuff. I want to chat. After this time, I have plenty of time to chat."

Yue Zheng nodded, understanding Xu's mother's meaning, turned the car around and drove out.

When passing by an alley, I saw that most of the windows were hung with a strip of red or green cloth, and I felt a little puzzled. Before I could ask Mother Xu, I accidentally heard the faint moaning voice in those rooms, The words stuck in my throat, and I swallowed them back——No matter what time it is, there are people and customers who use the simplest and most primitive way to do "business".

When I got home and opened the door, there was already a string of crooked snowmen built by two children and a tree by the wall.Fortunately, the two children did not continue to go crazy outside at this time, otherwise, I am afraid that the little hands will be frozen!

After parking the car, the two returned to the RV, and saw that Xu Song had gotten up and was sitting on the sofa, picking cotton bolls with his two children.

"Are you back? How's it going? Is everything done?"

Yue Zheng, who had been surrounded by a group of women for a long time, felt extra warm in his heart when he saw Xu Song at this time, he didn't reply to his words, but went directly to his face and kissed him lightly.

Xu Song's normal expression suddenly twisted, he kicked him bitterly, glanced guiltyly at his mother who came in behind, and lowered his head.

"Your mother is out, of course it's all taken care of." Xu's mother pretended not to see - her son probably has trouble moving today, and as a mother, it's rare for her to let him go for a while, so as not to irritate him.

"Our team has been promoted to D-level." Yue Zheng took advantage of the situation and sat beside him, took an untreated cotton boll and picked seeds together.

"D?!"

"Yeah, that big cart of rat meat, how long is it enough? Isn't it enough to give you a higher level?" Xu's mother also sat on the sofa and took a cotton boll to work together.

The few people were busy until noon, when Xu's mother was cooking, Xu Song suddenly remembered that the fuel tanks of the small pickup truck and the large container hadn't been modified yet, so he got up and went out to dismantle the fuel tanks.

Yue Zheng followed behind, opening the car and picking up tools with him.

The snow in the sky is still falling non-stop. It seems to be smaller than that in the morning, but it is fine and dense, and it keeps falling down.

Yue Zheng handed him the tools, and seeing the white air coming out of his mouth and his focused expression, he couldn't help but smiled softly.
