Mo Xiao handed the boy a box of instant noodles and watched him hide the instant noodles in an old iron box in the alley next to him. The employment relationship between the two parties was established.
After the boy came back, he said cautiously: "My name is Buller. Who are you looking for? I know everyone in this industrial area. I can also help inquire in other areas."
Mo Xiao thought for a while and said: "Strange is his name. I am an adventurer. I have a sister who works in the government department. Do you know?"
"Ah...it's him..." Buller looked at them in surprise, "I know, his home is not far from here. You can get there quickly by taking the tram."
Mo Xiao and others were a little surprised. The area of the oasis was equivalent to a big city. It was not easy to find someone with the little information they had. They didn't expect to be so lucky. They had clues before they found anything.
"Both the Strange brothers and I have lived in the Winter House before and know each other. As far as I know, he has not come back after going to the Dark Zone..."
Buller was walking ahead and leading the way. As he was talking, he suddenly realized something. He turned his head suspiciously and asked: "Did you meet Strange in the dark area? Is he back?"
"No, he is dead." Mo Xiao took out the letter and showed it to Buller. "This is the letter he left. We are going to give it to his sister."
Buller's body froze when he heard this, and he kept walking, but his voice was much deeper: "Strange is also dead... My lords, are you really from the dark area... no, from outside the oasis?
?"
Mo Xiao nodded, saying there was nothing to hide: "Yes, we saw his body and found it here from the clues he left."
Buller may have thought of something, and his voice was trembling: "Could it be that...the legend of Noah is true? Are you from Noah?"
"You understand so well...there's nothing wrong with that."
After hearing this answer, Buller's mind was a little confused for a while. He wanted to say something several times, but he swallowed the words that came to his lips. After hesitating for a while, he asked: "If you just send a letter...
Why don't you leave it to me, I can do it alone."
Patty added calmly: "Sending the letter is just a matter of course. We still need to investigate some things. It will not pose any threat to you. You'd better not have any unnecessary evil thoughts now and wait until the letter is handed over to Strange."
After becoming your sister, we have no control over what you want to do next.”
Buller's heart tightened, and he nodded with some fear. For him, Patty not only had strange power, but also an inexplicable aura, which made him dare not say anything to resist.
"Are the people in the oasis in short supply of food?" Ye Xiaoying asked gently and curiously.
Buller replied: "The government department will distribute food every once in a while. It will not be more or less. It can only ensure that you will not die of hunger. If you want to get more, you have to complete some specific tasks on your own. Some are hard and some are dangerous."
, not fixed."
"What kind of job is there?" Ye Xiaoying continued to ask.
Buller said cooperatively: "Most of it is about collecting resources. Sometimes you need to go to the dark area, which is the most dangerous. Of course, the pay is also high. Generally speaking, wherever people are needed, the government department will issue notices.
, interested residents can sign up by themselves, and there will be dedicated personnel responsible for screening. For this kind of short-term work, each oasis resident must complete three large and small tasks every year."
All conversations were translated by Shu Mo and then transmitted to Long Qinghong. She agreed with the way the Oasis Government Office acted. Spontaneous choices would not cause too many complaints, and the annual mandatory quotas could reduce the breeding of laziness.
, reducing the presence of idlers, which is very similar to the nature of the work of the demon spirit alliance law enforcers.
"...Well, what does the Winter House do?"
"Relief houses are places where elderly people or children who have no relatives and no ability to work live. The government department will have dedicated employees to take care of the people in the winter home. It is an oasis welfare institution, but its resources are limited and it can only guarantee a minimum life.
Barely alive."
"The government office in Oasis is quite humane..." Mo Xiao said to himself.
While communicating in a low voice, they boarded the so-called tram. This is a tram similar to an old-fashioned green train. It runs along the established track and is used to pull people or goods. It is the most common means of transportation in the oasis.
.
It's actually a bit wrong to say that they took a ride. This group of guys was penniless, and Buller couldn't afford to pay the fares of several people, so they took the simplest method.
Relying on Shu Mo's ability to hide, they jumped on a coal-carrying tram. The tram only had two drivers in the cab. There was also a small room behind the cab that was a lounge, and there was no one in the lounge. They just wanted to
There won't be any big noise, so you can stay here without worrying about squatting with the coal.
Ye Xiaoying and Mo Xiao were lying by the window looking at the cityscape outside, discussing something enthusiastically. Patty squatted beside them, obviously more interested in the structure of the car, and the good old Reyes stood at the door to help.
Look out for the wind and always pay attention to the movements in the cab. As for Long Qinghong, it was uncomfortable. Hearing them speak a dialect that even aliens could not understand, his face was confused. He couldn't join the conversation and had no choice but to stay in a daze.
Looking around in a daze.
Of course, the worst thing was not Long Qinghong, but Shu Mo who stayed by her side honestly. This guy was as anxious as a cat catching a mouse. Unfortunately, because his stern foster mother sat aside, he was so honest that even
I don’t dare to say a single word of shame.
"The people here...seem to be a mixed race?"
Mo Xiao not only saw a humanoid creature with a tail or animal ears. Compared to pure humans like Mo Xiao, there were also many humans like Buller who had some animal characteristics. They looked like demonized monsters.
But there is no power of monsters.
Ye Xiaoying nodded and said: "I don't feel the existence of demon power in their bodies."
"These people have a very small amount of monster blood. Strictly speaking, they are all hybrids." Patty raised her head and whispered, glancing at Buller who was sitting beside him, daring not to move. p>
"I have seen mixed blood between demons and humans before, but they all have a little bit of demon power. The 'human' blood here is very thin, and maybe they are stronger than the people on earth just in terms of physical fitness."
Ye Xiaoying held her chin and thought: "If this continues, will there be only humans in many generations?"
"That's nature. It's a natural law for the majority to assimilate the minority." Mo Xiao said with certainty. At this moment, he saw a flash of green suddenly appear in the distance.
"A tree?"
It was an ordinary-looking big tree, which stood out in this city made of steel.
