In the dark and gloomy alley, the unkempt man was approaching the corner of the alley.
He held a small pistol in his hand.
This gun was given to him not long ago by a "good Samaritan" wearing a fat doll mask.
He originally wanted to sell the gun for money, but the 'kind man' reminded him that he could use the gun to 'make money'.
Yes, he can use this gun to turn other people's money into his own.
But he still hesitated in his heart.
In the past few days, he had eaten all the food without asking for any money.
He knew he needed to take a desperate risk.
If he continues to starve like this, he will become a corpse lying on the roadside like many homeless people he has seen.
He held the handle of the gun with difficulty, poked his head out little by little, and looked towards the street outside the alley.
This is a deserted street. A well-dressed modern girl is carrying an expensive-looking bag, playing with a tablet and walking towards this direction with her head lowered.
She must have many valuable things on her.
This thought arose in the man's mind.
This woman seems to be the most suitable prey.
He's been waiting here for a long time, and is either too strong or doesn't look like he has much money.
The man tightened his grip on the gun, took a deep breath, and estimated the woman's speed in his mind.
However, just when he expected the woman to reach the alley and was about to rush out, two homeless men ran past from the other end of the alley, shouting loudly as they ran, "Walk faster, the Nolanka Group is recruiting workers over there.
If you apply for a job, you will be given food directly."
Nolanka Group? Give me food?
The man was stunned.
And at this moment of confusion, the well-dressed girl had already passed by the alley.
The man glanced at the girl's back, then at the gun in his hand. He hesitated, put the gun away, and chased the two homeless men in the direction they had just run away.
Under normal circumstances, companies will not recruit homeless people when recruiting workers, but judging from the excitement of the two homeless people just now, it seems that this time it is a little different.
Not long after the man ran along the street, he saw a long queue at the end of another intersecting street.
The team was basically filled with ragged homeless people, and they were gathered around, whispering about something.
Some security guards wearing Nolanka Group uniforms are maintaining order.
There is a sign next to it that says, "If you want to be hired, line up here."
The man thought for a moment and originally wanted to ask the security guard, but he just stretched out his hand and subconsciously took it back.
The security guards of the Nolanka Group he met in the past always drove him away, leaving many bad memories during the process, which made him afraid of the security guards.
However, this time the security did not drive him away. They just maintained order in the queue and often caught people who jumped in line.
The men lined up quietly like this until the people in front of them finished one by one.
I don't know how long it took, but just when the man felt that he was too hungry and had no energy left, he finally reached the front of the queue.
A middle-aged clerk with a cold face was asking for everyone's information. He glanced at the man and said, "Name."
"Mr. Maro, I would like to ask, what kind of job recruitment is here?"
The man asked cautiously.
The clerk looked up at him, and while editing the information, he said slowly, "Construction site workers."
"ah···"
The man was stunned. The laborers in Kaya City basically had to work intensively for more than ten hours. With his small body, he could not work as a laborer without eating for so long. He would probably die on the construction site within two days of working.
superior.
The clerk seemed to have guessed the man's worries, or maybe he had seen too much. He quickly and impatiently added,
"Sign up and get a meal for free. After you have eaten and rested, you can go to work to see what kind of position you are suitable for. Working hours range from six to eight hours. Overtime is not allowed."
The man opened his mouth and wanted to ask something else, but he didn't wait for the question to come out.
The clerk immediately said in a flurry, "The work includes food and accommodation, a dormitory, and meal vouchers. In addition to food and accommodation, the weekly salary is more than 100 federal dollars, or the equivalent amount of material exchange vouchers will be issued, depending on your working hours and
Depending on your job position, you have one day off per week. There is a free bathhouse in the dormitory, basic social insurance and medical insurance are covered, and you will be given two sets of work clothes for change.
As long as you sign up, you can basically be admitted, and there will be a three-month trial period after joining the company."
After finishing speaking, the clerk raised his head and glanced at him, "Do you have any more questions? You can bring your family members if you have them. Priority will be given to those who are not working. Those with children at home can enjoy the group's interest-free loan policy for schooling. Families are not included.
But we can provide you with family accommodation deduction vouchers, and you can only rent apartments owned by the group."
This remuneration condition is actually not particularly good, but for homeless people who have been unable to find a job, it is equivalent to giving them a chance to survive.
Instead of having a higher weekly salary, it is directly converted to include food and accommodation, which means that some bankrupts can also guarantee a basic life, and will not have all their income directly transferred by the bank to repay debts like other jobs.
The man didn't react for a moment and was stunned on the spot.
"Do you have any other questions?"
The clerk knocked on the table impatiently.
"No more, no more."
The man shook his head quickly.
"If it's gone, just sign your name."
The clerk clicked on the computer, and a contract signing interface was displayed on the desktop in front of the man.
The man was in a daze until he finished signing and was led to the onboarding procedure by the staff.
He didn't expect that he could find a job that would provide him with food and shelter so easily.
When he was looking for a job in the past, his bosses would either kick him out because he was a homeless person, or they would only give him a very low salary, without buying any insurance or signing a contract. That little income was often not enough for him to pay for a rental apartment.
I have to pay a deposit, so I can only stay in a hotel with a high price per day.
Most of his income will be transferred by the bank to repay the loan he owed before, and the remaining money will not be enough for him to eat.
With no place to keep out the cold and no food to eat, his health became worse and worse. His poor health made it more difficult for him to find a job.
But now the goods cannot be sold, many factories have laid off workers, there are fewer and fewer jobs, and competition is getting bigger and bigger. It is becoming increasingly difficult for him to find even a temporary job.
He always thought that one day he would die silently on the side of the street, and his body would be thrown into the incinerator like garbage along with other homeless people who were frozen to death on the street.
But at this moment.
The man glanced at the registration card issued to him by the intelligent robot he had just guided.
Things seem to be getting better.
There is light on the road ahead.

"The next mayor of Chenxi City, Christos, made his first public appearance after the election. He stated that he would implement a series of reform policies after taking office to suppress consortiums and improve workers' treatment."
"The election process for the mayor of Chenxi City has been basically completed. Christos was confirmed as the next mayor of Chenxi City. The Federal President sent a message to express his congratulations.
According to the tradition of Chenxi City, the next mayor will be sworn in at the beginning of February next year. During the more than one month between the end of the election and the swearing-in, the current mayor will gradually transfer power to the next mayor and his governing team."
News bulletins were being played on the TV, but the silver-haired old man had no intention of paying attention to these news. He looked at the doctor in pure white clothes in front of him and asked in a low voice,
"Dr. Ike, is there nothing we can do?"
"Mr. Danilo," Dr. Ike shook his head, "even if we use the sealed artifact to restore Mr. Vian's body, his soul has dissipated, leaving only a body. He will never wake up.
, this body will slowly die."
Danny fell into a brief silence.
He looked through the thick glass at the young man with his eyes closed lying on the operating table.
Then he paused for a moment and said softly,
"Is there any way to keep this body active? Maybe there will be a treatment method in the future. You can pay any price. Your Life Goddess Church will gain the friendship of the Nolanka Group."
"The dead cannot be resurrected... Even if there is such a method, you can't guarantee whether 'he' will transform into a monster during this period of time."
Ike wanted to say something else, but looking at the old man's firm eyes, he finally sighed slowly,
"I have a junior student in medical school. He is very talented and likes to study these taboo things. He once discussed with me the method of keeping people in a dying state, but I haven't contacted him for a long time.
Can we try to contact him? Now we can use the cryo-sleep cabin to maintain Mr. Wei's vitality."
"If there's anything you need from Nolanka Group, just ask."
Danny said immediately.
"Okay," Ike nodded lightly. He also knew that now was not the time to refuse. "I'll see if I can contact him now. Some of my classmates should still have his contact information. I heard that he went to Chenxi City before.
Already."
"What's his name? Nolanka Group also has a branch in Chenxi City."
the old man asked immediately.
"His name is..." Ike rummaged around and found a photo of a man who looked a little sick, and handed it to the old butler, "Roger."

Chenxi City
"The sunshine is so beautiful today."
Yi Jiali held the tea cup and looked out the window at the afternoon sunshine.
"yes."
Selena leaned on the soft sofa and nodded gently.
After jointly participating in the investigation of the mayor's breeding of exotic animals, the two got in touch and gradually became friends.
"Annie went to school today?"
Selena asked softly while watching the news about Christos's interview being played on the screen in the building opposite.
Yi Jiali seemed to have remembered something and smiled softly, "The first batch of children have entered school. They are now in preparatory school. She will go to teach the children. I will go tomorrow."
"so good."
Selena also picked up the tea. It seemed that she had not had such a leisurely afternoon for a long time.
"By the way, have you heard about what happened in Kaya City?" Igali suddenly said,
"There seems to be internal fighting in the Nolanka Group that controls Kaya City. Some directors colluded with the Church of the God of Chaos and tried to assassinate the current chairman of the board of directors. A fierce fight broke out between the two parties near the city center."
"I haven't heard of it..."
Selena shook her head.
"Really? Then you've been really busy recently," Yi Jiali put down the tea cup, "I heard that the chairman of the board of directors of Nolanka Group is very handsome and a good man. He has taken many measures to benefit the lower-level workers.
He now has all the power and seems to be implementing some reforms."
"very nice."
Selina took a sip of tea and looked at the light outside the window.
The world is slowly changing.
