Looking at the car with the Elvis family logo in front of him, Duke turned around and asked:
"Can you drive?"
"meeting."
Alyssa replied warmly.
"Okay, then you can drive."
Duke decisively went to the back seat.
The overall shape of this car is relatively rounded, similar to the four-seater sedan in Duke's impression, but it is decorated with a lot of chrome and looks shiny.
Alyssa's car drove well and was very stable.
More than ten minutes later, the car left the Elvis family's territory.
As soon as he came out, Duke felt relaxed all over, and he felt like "the sea is vast and the sky is open to me".
Of course, he knew this was an illusion and the threat had not been eliminated.
But no matter what, the first step of leaving the Elvis family is completed.
Duke, who was in a good mood, began to look at the City of Dawn.
This should be the first time he saw the City of Dawn. The whole city was gray and completely different from Elvis Castle.
The sky is gray, the roads are gray, the cars are gray, the buildings are also gray, and even the faces of pedestrians on the street are covered with a layer of gray, dull and dull.
His car with a lot of chrome decoration has become the most beautiful color on the street.
Only then did Duke realize that this was a post-war world, an era of catastrophe.
…
"Master, we're here."
"Ah? It's already here."
Duke somehow fell asleep in the car and yawned,
This is the end of a fairly wide street, the ground is dirty, desolate and quiet.
On both sides of the road are two or three-story concrete houses, which are dusty.
The sound of the car's engine was particularly clear on the quiet street. A few curious pedestrians in the distance glanced here, but after seeing the black maple leaf logo on the car, they hurriedly looked away.
"It's very quiet here, which is nice."
Duke stretched and then got out of the car. In front of him was a square and dilapidated small building. There was a wooden sign next to it, with two lines of words vaguely visible on it.
Ping An Street, No. 4.
This is his chosen industry.
The space is not small, but judging from how quiet it is, there is almost no foot traffic, and since this is the end of the street, it is definitely not a good place to do business.
The Elvis family didn't like this place, and they couldn't give it away for nothing, so they left it abandoned.
Let Duke "pick up a leak".
Duke has no regrets. His purpose is not to do business, and besides, he doesn't know how to do business.
Opening the door of the shop, a rotten smell hit your face, as if it had been covered in dust for countless years.
But to Duke's surprise, the lights here still work.
"There is still electricity?"
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
The incandescent lamp gave off a dim glow, barely illuminating half the house.
There were piles of waste piled on the ground.
There are messy graffiti on the walls and ceiling, like twisted monsters.
The tables and chairs were all in disrepair. Duke's visual inspection suggested they were at least five or six years old.
Duke had just taken two steps when he heard a "click" sound. He lowered his head and saw that a large yellow and black bone was broken into two pieces by his foot.
Duke looked at this bone and felt a little numb.
What kind of big bones are there? Could they be human?
"Master, these are not human beings, they are the bones of a corpse."
Alyssa spoke very thoughtfully.
Duke was not relieved when he heard that it was not a human being, but he quickly reacted.
"Ghouls? Are there ghouls in the city?"
Ghouls are man-eating monsters!
"Of course there are none in the city, but some people will catch some from outside the city. Some nobles like this thing, and some will bring the corpses of ghouls back to study."
Alyssa explained.
"...What kind of perverts are they?"
Duke shook his head, but he relaxed. As long as he wasn't a human being, he wouldn't feel so panicked.
Compared with the first floor, the second and third floors are much better. Although they are still dirty and messy, at least there are no weird things.
Duke estimated that the corpse bones and other things on the first floor might have been thrown in by others and treated this place as a garbage dump.
There's no way anyone can live in such a dirty place, so it needs to be cleaned.
"Master, please leave here first and let me clean up."
Alyssa spoke immediately as if she knew what Duke was thinking.
Duke looked at Alyssa's small body and immediately shook his head.
"No, I need to recruit some people anyway, let them come."
Alyssa is obviously not able to live in such a big house by herself. Alyssa is willing to follow Duke out to endure hardships. In Duke's heart, she is no longer just a little maid, but a rare friend.
Next door to Ping An Street, there is a place similar to a job market. Many people apply for jobs here. When Duke's car drove here, it instantly attracted most of the attention, and many people's eyes lit up.
Although the Elvis family is not as influential in the East City as the West City, it is still a well-known big shot. If you can get a job with the Elvis family, it will definitely be better than theirs, who have a life of no meals.
Much better.
However, due to the prestige of the Elvis family, no one dared to rush forward all at once. They just followed from a distance, hoping that this big shot would take a fancy to them.
Duke only had three thousand dollars in hand. Although it was not much, it was still enough to hire a few people.
He was not familiar with these things, so he didn't come forward and asked Alyssa to take care of it. Alyssa quickly came over with four burly men.
Although these strong men had fierce looks on their faces and many scars on their exposed skin, they stood in a row outside Duke's car like well-behaved babies.
Duke pretended to take a look, and after confirming that no arms or legs were missing, he nodded to Alyssa and closed the window.
After Alyssa said something to them, the four of them suddenly showed excitement on their faces, and then left happily.
Back in the car, Alyssa said to Duke:
"Master, I hired them for one month, at two hundred yuan each, and the payment will be due next month. After they picked up their luggage, they went to Ping'an Street to report. I have already given them the door key."
Two hundred yuan a month is definitely a high salary for people like them who are unskilled and illiterate. After all, this is not a dangerous job. It is just cleaning and standing guard. It is relaxing and comfortable.
"good."
Duke nodded.
He has no plans to go back now. After finally coming out, he needs to know about the City of Dawn. His understanding of City of Dawn is limited to various "hearings".
But Duke soon discovered a problem - his car was too ostentatious.
A car with the Elvis family crest is a rare animal in a place like this.
Duke wanted to go shopping, but he almost turned into a monkey.
“Hiss—what a strong smell!”
After Duke drank the glass of milk from the two-headed cow in his hand, he said to Alyssa.
"Forget it, Alyssa, let's go back."
"good."
Alyssa didn't ask why.
But before the two of them got into the car, a somewhat surprising voice suddenly sounded:
"Oh, little Duke, why are you here!"
As soon as Duke heard this sound, he had to move away out of reflex, but his speed was still slow.
Chapter completed!
