Li Yueqing could only change the subject, "If you see him next time, let him lose money."

Li Lu compared sugar with money, and felt that money was more important, so he nodded solemnly and agreed to Li Yueqing's plan.

He doesn't want sugar anymore, he wants money.

Li Yueqing originally didn't say the second part of the sentence "I'll buy you sugar after I take the money", but seeing Li Lu's eyes brighten, he silently closed his mouth.

Vic said bitterly: "Then let him go for now."

Li Yueqing glanced at the sky, seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Let's go, let's find a place to live first."

After the unremitting efforts of the three, they finally found a place to stay before the sun went down.The house is on the outskirts of Garbage City. Although it looks a little old from the outside, it is still brand new and clean inside.Most importantly, there are two rooms, which are very spacious and well-equipped.The only downside is that it's a bit more expensive.

But if you can live comfortably, it's not a big deal to spend more money.

In the end, the rooms were divided. Because of its large size, Vik occupied one room by himself, while Li Yueqing and Li Lu lived together.

After a busy day, everyone is a little tired.After a casual dinner, everyone fell asleep.

The next day, at dawn, the three of them washed up, bought some bread on the street, and planned to go to the factory opened by the Alliance in the center of the garbage city to see what jobs they could do there.

Walking to the gate of the factory, there are people coming and going, noisy, like a vegetable market, very chaotic.

Li Lu seemed to be seeing such a scene for the first time, with big eyes looking around curiously.Because he was too concentrated, he was knocked to the ground by a person while walking.

"Are you blind, can't see the road?" The man who bumped into someone first cursed loudly.

The people next to him passed by indifferently, as if they hadn't seen the scene.

Li Lu sat down on the ground, just looking at the other party expressionlessly.

The man was staring at him with dark eyes, making him feel uncomfortable. Even though the sky was still under the scorching sun, his back was covered in cold sweat.

Li Yueqing and Vic, who were walking in front, heard the noise behind them and hurried back.Li Yueqing saw Li Lu fell to the ground, and there was a man with a hideous face standing beside him, so he turned his eyes coldly, "What happened?"

Vic stared at the man, "Did you bully Li Lu?"

"Neuropathy."

The man didn't want to get entangled with them, so he turned around after cursing and wanted to leave.But how could Li Yueqing let him leave so easily, when the man passed by them, he stretched out his foot directly, causing the man to fall and eat shit.

"You..." The man got angry and wanted to beat them up when he got up from the ground.But as soon as he stretched out his fist, his eyes met Li Lu's thick black pupils again, and for some reason, a sense of uneasiness and timidity rose in his heart.

Li Lu and him looked at each other for a few seconds, then looked away and looked elsewhere.The man looked in his direction, only to see a group of black crows standing on a building not far away.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the crows seemed to be staring at him.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Bad luck..."

Panicked for no reason, the man felt that all this was a little too evil, he didn't dare to stay any longer, he closed his fist, cursed a few words, and ran away in a panic.

Both Li Yueqing and Vic were a little taken aback.

However, in the next second, the man who hadn't run a few meters was scratched and rolled all over the ground by a group of crows that fell from the sky, so he was in a panic.

After the crow had a good time scratching and finally flew away, there was nothing left to see on the man's body.

The people nearby gasped, it was too miserable.

Vic, who had also witnessed everything, was dumbfounded, "This man is quite unlucky."

Li Yueqing looked up at the crow that fell back to the eaves and licked its fur, feeling a little puzzled.Well, why would these crows attack that man?

Li Lu blinked in confusion, and then saw that the people around him were all looking in the same direction, and followed him curiously.And when his eyes met the group of black crows, those crows seemed to be frightened, and flew away screaming.

Seeing this, the people around started discussing one after another.

"What's up with those crows?"

"I've lived in District 26 for so long, and this is the first time I've seen crows attack people."

"Aren't these crows very docile in the past, why are they so fierce today?"

"It's a bit scary, but no matter how harmless a strange beast is, it's always a strange beast."

"In the future, if you see a crow, you should hide as far away as possible, so as not to get hurt."

"..."

Li Yueqing withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, then lowered his head, and saw that Li Lu had patted his butt, obediently got up from the ground, his small expression didn't show that he had just been bullied, he was so stupid that he didn't even feel wronged meeting.

There was a trace of displeasure in his heart, and his tone was a little cold, "Why didn't you call us when you were bullied."

Vic spoke weakly from the side, "But... Li Lu can't talk."

Li Yueqing glared at him, "Just learn if you can't." For some reason, Li Yueqing felt that Li Lu couldn't be dumb.

Vic was so frightened by his aura that he didn't dare to speak for a moment.

Li Lu was fine, he seemed not afraid of Li Yueqing at all, and even leaned forward to hold the opponent's hand, although Li Yueqing threw him away in the end.

Entering the factory later, in order to prevent Li Lu from being knocked down again, both Li Yueqing and Vic slowed down and surrounded Li Lu in the middle.

After entering the factory, they were asked to register, and then they were taken to a large playground at the back together with other people who also came to look for work.

"Luo Qiang, Dai Haiwei, Chris... you guys go to Factory No. 1 to sort out garbage."

"Marty, Li Zhouzhou...you guys go..."

At this time, a steward in the playground was doing roll call with a loudspeaker, and every time a person's name was called, he would announce the job he was assigned to.

And the registration they made just now was probably prepared for this moment.

"Li Yueqing, Li Lu, Ace King Wick, the three of you..."

After the three of them waited patiently for quite a while, the steward finally read Li Lu's and the others' names.But after they stood up, the manager's expression became obviously a little disgusted, and what he was going to say was also cut off in the middle.

But soon, his voice came out of the loudspeaker again, but what he said next was not pleasant at all, "You three come back another day, there is no job suitable for you here for the time being. Okay Alright, next one."

Vic was expecting something at first, but he got angry at the end, "How could he do this?"

"Probably because we are too young to dislike us." Li Yueqing's face sank, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

Vic rolled up his sleeves and said angrily, "Let's go to him for an argument. Why can't you work when you're young?"

In Garbage City, because waste sorting and resource conversion require a large number of workers, and because most of the people in District 26 are black households who live in poverty and cannot go to other areas, the factories set up by the alliance do not have high requirements for workers. age restriction.Younger people can also perform simpler garbage sorting and leak detection.But I can't bear it, there are always people who use chicken feathers as tokens, and treat these positions as their own pockets, and assign them according to their own preferences.

"Come back." Li Yueqing called out to the impulsive Vic in a cold voice, "It's useless for you to go to them, do you think they will listen to you? If you annoy them, we can't even think about staying in District 26."

Although the characters of these people are not very good, they are still part of the alliance government. In the 26th district, they are the emperors of the land. They don't need to move their fingers. They can make Li Yueqing and the three of them unable to stay in this place with just one word. .

Vic said unwillingly, "Could it be that we can only endure this tone?"

"Remember how weak and incompetent we are now, and when we are stronger than anyone else in the future, we will take back all the humiliation we have suffered."

Li Yueqing took a deep look at the steward, turned around and walked out.

Vic felt that Li Yueqing was a little scary at this moment, but although he couldn't understand what he said, it was deeply engraved in his mind.

Li Lu was ignorant, but subconsciously looked at the stands, and took note of the manager's face.

After the three of them walked out of the factory, the atmosphere was still a bit heavy.

Vic glanced at Li Yueqing, hesitated for a while and asked, "What shall we do now?"

Such a result, Li Yueqing also expected.Although the process was a little unpleasant, it didn't frustrate him much.For such a situation, he also thought of several countermeasures in advance.

Just when Li Yueqing was about to tell them his next plan, the quiet Li Lu suddenly grabbed his hand and pointed to a corner of the factory.

Because they took the road on the other side of the factory before, they didn't pay attention to what was there.If it wasn't for Li Lu's reminder, they really didn't realize that this place was crowded with people, and the place was full of people.

Vic was a little curious: "Let's go and have a look."

Seeing that Li Lu also wanted to go there, Li Yueqing said nothing, and agreed.

Besides them, there are many people rushing here, and most of these people are carrying big bags and small bags, and their clothes are much dirtier and smellier than the people I have seen on the playground before.

As they passed by, Li Lu heard them say:

"Today's materials are too difficult to find. I worked hard all day before I found some."

"Haha, I'm luckier than you. I found a good place and picked up a lot."

"It seems that you can make a lot of money today."

"It's just that my face is better today. I won't be able to tell until tomorrow."

"That's right, tomorrow I don't know what materials the factory needs, how much they need, whether it's good to find..."

"Stop talking, let's go."

When the three of Li Lu came to the corner of the factory, the first thing they saw was a scene of people in full swing, and everyone was doing business with the factory employees.

Those opened cloth bags were all filled with various gray machinery.

And behind the stacked machinery, Li Lu and the others saw a light screen projected in mid-air.Rows of item names are listed on it, and behind these names are marked with two different quantifiers, one is price and the other is demand.

With the continuous transactions between the people of the garbage city and the factory employees, the number in the column of the item demand in the light screen is gradually decreasing.

When the demand for a certain item becomes zero, there is only a sound of "beep" on the light screen, and that line of words turns red and is crossed out.

The crowd also had a change at this time, and many people screamed.

"No."

"We haven't traded yet."

"Why is it full today..."
