Chapter 203 Expensive Water Resources (2/3)

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

After walking back and forth on the street for two rounds, the general information had been collected and then fell into deep thought.

This world is very desperate.

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

There was an extremely fierce nuclear war in this world, which caused the trauma left by the war that year to be seen everywhere in the world.

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

In the wild, humans are almost unable to survive except for mutated creatures.

The rainfall from the sky is rich in fatal corrosiveness and radiation. Only under the protection of the dome of the city can human beings survive safely.

But even so, the number of places where the dome is corroded and damaged after years of use has been unable to be repaired has increased.

On rainy days, even in the city, you need to pay attention to the raindrops.

Due to the harsh wild environment, the plants have undergone terrible changes and cannot grow edible vegetables, fruits and melons.

There are contaminated water sources everywhere, and you will have to take your life into it after taking a sip.

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

A large number of food factories are built inside the city, producing various nutrient solution and solid food with unknown raw materials.

Since you are at the beach, you can also extract some of the sea water that is not so polluted for purification and supply it to people all over the city for consumption.

However, based on the situation Zhang Yong collected when he was walking around, it can be seen that these are just talk.

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

The rich area in the central area, the stable area surrounding it, and... the surrounding slums.

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

An extremely chaotic and unordered place.

In this world, although there is still the concept of a country, there are still a large number of officials in the sea of ​​clouds.

But in fact, the ones that control the city are several huge groups of companies.

【Changyao】【Hongtian】 and 【An Mosi】.

A series of industries such as medicine, food, network, security, etc. are all controlled by these three groups.

Even city officials have their salaries provided by them.

The law was revised according to their needs, and the people who controlled the group were the real emperors of the entire city.

They live in a cozy and luxurious central area and do not pay attention to the slums around the city.

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

"It's released!"

Suddenly, Zhang Yong, who was considering the next action, suddenly heard shouts coming from afar.

This is the shouting of the arrival of the slum once a day.

A water delivery truck is an extremely normal situation in this world.

Because the water resources in this world are extremely precious, it is impossible that there is tap water at home like the earth, and a lot of clear water will pour out when you twist it.

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

They often need to take out more than one-third of their money after receiving a day's reward to buy water so that they will not die of thirst.

The water they bought was not very good either.

Water is divided into grades, and the prices are naturally different.

Super water is water that only the truly top powerhouses in the central district are qualified to drink.

Without a certain identity, you cannot buy it even if you have money.

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

It has even become the top luxury goods because it is rich in some natural minerals.

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

The price of sale is around 120 yuan per gram.

The daily income of slums is only double-digit, and they cannot even buy a gram of extra water.

First-level water is a water source that only normal wealthy people and upper-level managers of the three major groups can drink.

Although it is also natural water, it is a bit dirty and needs to be purified through a certain process before it can be consumed, if the tap water on the earth is on it.

The price is around 1,000 yuan for 500 grams.

Only the Rich Districts in central locations are for sale.

Then comes secondary water, which is drinking water that the middle class can drink freely.

Purification through seawater is not caused by radiation or other toxicity, and there is not much difference with first-class water.

But the price is only around 500 grams and 200 yuan.

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

The water brought by the slum water truck is all the third level, fourth level or even fifth level.

Whether it is third-level water or fourth-level water, they are actually purified by sea water. However, since the cost of purifying into second-level water is too high, it will be divided according to different water quality.

Third-level water, because it still has a small amount of radiation pollution, will cause some bad side effects after drinking it.

However, because of the low price, it will also be used by the middle class in Anding District to take a bath or plant flowers and plants.

The price is generally around 500 grams and 50 yuan, which is a rare luxury item for people in slums.

Most of the water they need is Level 4, which has a lot of radiation pollution and some toxicities that cannot be eradicated.

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

The consequence of drinking Level 4 water for a long time is that it is difficult for people in slums to live longer than forty years, and there is a very high proportion of them with the consequences of deformities and terminal illnesses.

But Level 4 water is also a very cheap type. Often 500 grams only costs 10 yuan. Slums generally buy Level 4 water for twenty or thirty yuan, which is enough to meet the needs of a day.

The worst level five water is the most severe residue after seawater purification, which is extremely toxic and radiation pollution, which is difficult to eradicate and cover up.

It's just better than untreated water.

Level 5 water belongs to the category that is completely given away, and is given to those who cannot afford to buy Level 4 water and can only rely on this little benefit to survive.

This is a rare kindness for the upper class in the city. Unfortunately, these water delivery trucks are controlled by slum gangs. Level 5 water is said to be a gift, but it also costs a certain amount of money to buy it.

Really free?

It does not exist in this world.

Zhang Yong looked at the neatly arranged plastic bottles in the water delivery truck, each of which was 500 grams of packaging. At this moment, he was being taken out of the car and thrown to the poor who had already paid the money.
