life and doubts

"I'm sorry, guest, maybe you didn't understand it very well when you first came here, but most of the people here are not ordinary people. Even if Ancott looks like a gangster, he is quite powerful as a mercenary. In our store

I can guarantee your safety, but you have to be careful about this guest outside."

Rowena warned me kindly.

"understood."

Although at first glance I thought this place was not a serious place, I never expected that something so unfortunate and annoying would happen. Grandpa, what place did you introduce to me?

I looked at the waitress who had just been sexually harassed by the gangster-like Anko, and she was continuing to work as if nothing had happened. Please, please don't be so calm, okay?

"Ah, those girls, if they are a cool and handsome guy like you, they will be very willing to make extra money. After all, this is one of their sources of income."

"No, no need. Boss, does he know where I can stay nearby?"

The boss seemed to have noticed my doubts and introduced the girls. In other words, those girls were also doing this kind of thing. Although they were not uninterested, they still didn't want to do it. I didn't have that much money in my pocket at the moment, so I wanted to save some money.

"Yes, the unoccupied houses in the community above are assets in my name. Although they don't look very good, all the facilities are still complete."

How amazing! No wonder almost no one lives there. It turns out that they are all the property of the owner himself.

"Is there any one close to here?"

"Hmm... Let me take a look. There are five double rooms and one single room. Two people have already occupied three of the rooms that can be shared. One of the single rooms is unoccupied."

“How do you calculate the price for a single room?”

“Single room, one bedroom and one living room, accommodation is 280 yuan per night, and monthly subscription is 6,300 yuan.”

"Monthly subscription. International federation account transfer."

"OK, wait."

The monthly rent is 6,300 yuan, which is a bit expensive. I currently have less than 20,000 yuan in savings in my account, which can barely last a month, but I don’t want to share a room with strangers I don’t know anyway. I want to make money as soon as possible.

.

I took out a PAD that was as big as my palm and paid 6,300 yuan to the boss of Rowena. I spent a lot of money just to purchase this portable terminal, so it would be really bad if I didn't find a job quickly.

After confirming the payment, the owner of Rowena handed me a key. There was a sign with the three numbers 108 engraved on it.

"After you go up there, go a little to the right and you'll see it. Walk slowly, guest, and pay attention to safety on the road."

The Rowena boss saw off the guests with a smile and did not forget to give instructions.

I didn't want to stay here for too long, so I left this warm but mixed underground tavern without hesitation. As soon as I stepped out of the door, the bone-chilling evening breeze blew in my face, and my breath turned into white mist.

Room 108 is indeed very close to the underground tavern. I just walked a short distance and turned the corner and saw it. It was a small house. Although the location was a bit remote, it did not cause any trouble.

I opened the door with the key that marked the door, and when I got inside, I closed the door. I turned on the light, and the scene inside the house came into view.

What Rowena said is true. Although the house is small and well-equipped, it is not a spacious house. It has a bathroom, a kitchen and a small living room with a fireplace. It has furniture for a double and a single sofa, and electrical appliances with hanging cabinets.

Wall TV, water heater and refrigerator.

In this way, the monthly rent of 6,300 yuan is actually considered cheap. After all, it can be seen from the layout that this is a very comfortable place for people to live.

The style of the house is very peculiar, with artistic wooden signs hanging on each door, and also above the fireplace. How can I put it, it feels like a reassuring place like a save point.

I took a hot bath as a matter of course after many days, and since I didn’t have a change of clothes, I just put on my original outfit.

Turn off the lights, relax and sit on the soft sofa. The firewood is burning in the fireplace and making a crackling sound, illuminating the surrounding space and making the house warm.

Most of what is broadcast on TV is news reports about disasters across the country or around the world. Scientists' opinions and speculations on this extraordinary disaster that has spread around the world encourage people not to panic or be afraid, pay attention to personal safety, go out less, etc.

.

Almost all of them are related to this catastrophe. However, no matter how much you comfort the people, the fact that the catastrophe caused huge casualties will not change, and those lost relatives and friends will not come back. As well as the emergence of terrible creatures, and

A situation in which dead people turn into zombies that attack people.

Uneasiness has enveloped everyone's hearts. Perhaps only by locking the door and looking at the burning flames in front of the warm fireplace that dispels the cold can we feel a little more at ease.

I turned off the wall-mounted TV and just sat on the sofa watching the firewood in the fireplace, my eyelids gradually becoming heavy...

It was five o'clock in the morning when I woke up the next day. The biological clock I was forced to develop when I was trying to survive in the dead city had become a habit. Even without an alarm clock, I still woke up before dawn. The first thing I did was to confirm.

Safe all around.

This habit is good or not, but it’s not bad. It’s just a little frustrating. It’s obvious that you are safe, and the next step is to welcome a peaceful life.

But is this really what I want? After experiencing all this, I ignore it and live peacefully as if I don't know anything.

Everything I experienced during the time when I escaped from death not long ago is still vivid in my mind. Now the companions who helped each other from the dead city have also gone their separate ways. Looking back, although it is very dangerous and almost lost my life, maybe, maybe I don't hate it.

Adventure time with them.

They all have their own things to do, but what about me? Do I just want to live an ordinary job and life?

It always feels a bit strange. I wouldn't have thought about these things before.

Forget it, the boat will be straightened out when it reaches the bridge, now let’s work hard to support ourselves first.

Because I was wasting a little time thinking about various things, it was already past six o'clock when I arrived at the underground tavern. The door of the tavern was always unlocked, and the owner of Lovina seemed to be working at the bar early.

Yes, I originally thought that coming so early would disturb him. But now it seems that this is no longer the case.

There were not as many people in the tavern as there were last night, and it had become much deserted. However, there were still some people sleeping on the tables or simply lying on the floor. They were probably very drunk last night.

"Welcome, sir. Would you like some breakfast?"

The owner of Lovina greeted me in a friendly manner, and I nodded. A portion of poached eggs and grilled sausages was quickly placed on the table, as well as a cup of hot milk, which was considered a rich breakfast.

Then of course I paid the same price.

"How is the work arrangement going?"

"I took a brief look at Mr.'s information last night, and I have sorted out and selected three jobs that have a higher success rate based on Mr.'s information."

Wait, when Rowena said that the jobs were selected, did he mean that they would be intermediary jobs based on the workers’ information and conditions? And he also mentioned the success rate, which means that there is a possibility of failure and it is not a long-term job.

"Can I ask what kind of job it is?"

"Of course, the job list and remuneration and other details have been sent to your PAD, please take a look."

Rowena explained.

PAD is different from mobile phones. It is a portable terminal commonly used in the world. Compared with mobile phones, PAD's functions are more work-oriented and can adapt to various working environments and cope with different work needs. Although it has entertainment functions

There are very few, but the positioning, navigation and communication functions are far better than those of mobile phones, because the PAD system is directly connected to global satellites.

I opened the PAD, and there was indeed an unknown email that was not viewed, but the sending address was encrypted and the sender was anonymous. Apart from the content, only the date of sending and receiving was not encrypted.

But that's not what surprised me. What surprised me was the content of the work and the pay.

Rather than saying it is work, it is more like taking on a task.

1. Reward 432,600 federal coins: Enter the Yau City Ecological Research Center to assist in the investigation.

2. Reward of 550,000 federal coins: Use the designated weapon to kill a criminal named Cheng Ruxue, located at the Qualcomm Entertainment Building in Yau City.

3. Reward of 5,000,000 federal coins: search for the missing explorer, codenamed Crow (organized resident mission) where he appeared - Yau City - Luoan Central City - City X - Maghar City - City A.

Hey, what on earth is going on? The pay for any job is terrifyingly high, and what are these jobs? Special missions for secret agents? Isn’t the last one already an epic mission? Let’s

Is it really okay for an ordinary person to do these jobs!!

"Why are these tasks assigned to me?"

"This is based on the intelligence and information we currently have about you, sir, to determine that you have the ability to complete the task and that you are a suitable candidate at the moment."

"I don't have any expertise in this area on my resume."

"Don't get me wrong, sir, we are not so superficial in judging others by just using a resume. In order to accurately judge what kind of abilities and strengths people like you, sir, who are looking for a job have, and how to use them efficiently, we have mastered

A lot of information, for example, Sir, you just successfully escaped from the dead city X not long ago, and you were able to defeat the mutated monster by yourself."

Rowena answered my question with a smile, which made me feel a little creepy as to how much this person knew.

"Why can I master it to this extent..."

"Do you want to know? It's not a secret. It doesn't matter if I tell you. Isn't there a profession during the war? Even if it is very dangerous, you have to record the actual situation on the battlefield and report it to people?"

"War correspondent?"

"Yes! It's similar to that feeling. No matter what era, precious information is always valuable. Organizations that specialize in collecting and selling intelligence exist. As long as you have money, you can get the information you want from them.

, although there are some special circumstances.”

"Intelligence organization..."

"Yes, I spent a lot of money to obtain your information."

"How much is my information... worth?"

"This needs to be kept secret. After all, it is a rule of thumb. But congratulations, sir. From today on, you will be the 984th explorer. Your code name is Momonga. Remember it well. I wish you good luck in your work."

Boss Rowena smiled.

"Last question, what exactly is an explorer?"

This question is very important. I have never heard of this profession. Why is it so strange? Moreover, the work I do is not simple at all. I don’t want to do some unclear work without understanding it.

"...Oh, you want to understand, but this is not something that can be explained clearly at once. Maybe one day you will understand that the work we do in the eyes of many people is strange and dangerous, but in fact it is just to seek better answers.

A good future. All in all, this is not an illegal profession."

Boss Rowena was silent for a while and said with a smile. He seemed to have thought about many things during the short period of silence.

Isn't it illegal to kill someone? Even if the target is the criminal.

Back on the ground, the cold air hitting my face made my head sober up a little, but Rowena's words were still echoing in my ears, the 984th explorer or something, I didn't expect such a turn to happen, agreed.

What about a secure job?

No, I haven’t said that before. Obviously this is no joke, it is a life-threatening adventure. My first impression of the profession of explorer is that it is dangerous, but overall it is good, at least the income is high.

It's not too late to resign and change careers after making money. If you don't try, you won't know whether you can complete your job.

Only the second job is to kill a criminal.

I couldn't help but frown, because it was my grandfather who introduced me, so I believed that the explorer profession might really have this right.

But is this really good for me?

I looked at the miniature pistol lying in my hand that reflected the silver light slightly under the street lamp. Boss Rowena said that this weapon could only be used once and was ineffective against other creatures, but it was absolutely fatal to humans.

As long as I use this gun to kill a criminal, I can get a reward of 500,000 yuan.

This job shouldn't be difficult, and I should be happy, because he is a criminal who commits all kinds of evil, and I won't feel any guilt... This should be the right thing to do, but I can't be happy.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

Just now, Rowena said the word "we", which means that he is not the only intermediary.

This work group, this organization, should be quite large, so killing people is extremely common for them...
