"Fuck! What do you mean? Ah? We agreed to pay 100 Ceins for a trip, but this damn thing... got cut into half when it was delivered?" The thin, dark man cursed.
The person who paid the bill sat there motionless.
The thin black man slapped the table: "Hey! Are you deaf?"
The slap was so loud that the wooden table fell apart on the spot.
The man who paid still didn't move, but all his men stood up.
The thin black man's eyes instantly turned cold, and he subconsciously protected the little man behind him and stepped back, while shouting: "What are you doing? Want to scare you, Brother Hei?"
At this time, the person who paid the money said: "The original agreement was 100 Seins, but I asked you to deliver it at three o'clock in the afternoon, but you were half an hour late. How should the account be calculated?"
The thin black man was not happy when he heard this: "Damn it! You think I am happy with it! Those stupid arbiters squat at the port and watch all day long. If I hadn't been smart enough, you might not even be able to see anything."
!”
The person who paid the money smiled coldly: "Oh? Then... I have to thank you properly, right?"
After saying that, he raised his head, revealing a metal face without a mouth or nose.
The thin, dark man saw that the situation was not right, so he grinned and said, "Well, okay, thank you, no need, fifty is fifty, we have a long-term relationship, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, right?"
The person who paid the money snorted disdainfully, but did not embarrass him any more.
…
Coming out of the dark alley, the thin black man put on his hood, then turned around and handed the money to the little man behind him and said, "Here, take it."
The little man was stunned, quickly pushed the money back, and kept shaking his head.
The thin black man was unhappy when he saw this. He knelt down and said, "Okay, you deserve this!" Then he forced the money into the little man's hand.
The little man stared blankly at the money in his hand. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Half for each person... that's what we agreed to." After saying that, he handed three of the coins back to the thin black man, and this time he activated the coins.
of contact core.
Before the thin black man could react, the money had already been credited to his personal account.
"This..." The thin black man was a little speechless, but there was nothing he could do about it. He smiled and touched the little man's head and said, "Shall I treat you to a meal?"
The little man didn't refuse this time, he smiled and nodded.
"Um."
…
The two of them gradually walked away. A woman in black on the roof of a building not far away asked the people around her: "Are these two?"
"Well, the older one's name is Wang Meng. He is a C-class temporary resident. He has been convicted of illegally carrying contraband many times, but most of them were small things. He was fined a little and was released after being detained for a while..."
"What about the little one?"
"The younger one's name is Zhang Yi. He is a Class C temporary resident who has just passed the application. His background is very clean, but after this incident... I'm afraid it will be difficult to obtain a formal resident identity certificate in the future."
"Well……"
The woman looked back at him: "What's wrong?"
"Go back." He said calmly.
"Go back? Hey, this is the base liquid..."
"Let's go." He went downstairs without looking back.
"Hey!" It was useless for the beauty to get angry, but she couldn't handle the matter alone, so she had to leave angrily.
…
night.
Back near the port, the little man took off his hood, revealing a face that looked young but was actually weathered.
s face.
The reason why he is small is not because he is young, but because only a child's body can give him enough safety.
"Zhang Yi!"
Someone shouted from behind.
When Zhang Yi turned around, the man had already run in front of him.
"Here! What you want!" The beautiful girl was panting and sweating profusely. It seemed that she didn't stop all the way.
Zhang Yi was startled, then asked after taking the book: "You... just ran all the way here?"
The girl chuckled: "Well, it would be better if you exercise more!"
Zhang Yi lowered his head and saw that the girl's shoes were no longer shining.
He raised his hand to hold the girl's wrist, and the deal was completed.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "I don't want your money!"
Zhang Yi smiled: "I know! But the money is not to buy your book, but to give you a pair of shoes."
The girl was stunned, then her face turned red, she lowered her head a little shyly and said: "Then...I invite you..."
"No, I've already eaten. Thank you for the book. I'll go back first." The smile on Zhang Yi's face was extremely short-lived, and he returned to his cold demeanor before.
Looking at Zhang Yi's leaving figure, the girl curled her lips and stamped her feet fiercely: "Humph! Idiot!"
…
Holding the book, Zhang Yi walked briskly all the way home.
The place where he lives is located next to the port warehouse, an abandoned inspection station waiting to be demolished. The place looks like the big mouth of a metal monster, with teeth bared and pitch black, making it look very human.
But for many people like Zhang Yi who have just obtained C-class temporary resident status, it is home.
…
"Hey! Don't go! Waiter on the sightseeing train! Why don't you do such a good job!"
As soon as he arrived near the entrance, Zhang Yi heard the noisy sound.
Looking back, I saw that the guy with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was deceiving the little girl again.
Fortunately, this time someone who knew the inside story took the girl away early, otherwise...
"Fuck! Do you want to do it or not? Your chest is as flat as a cutting board! You really think you are a piece of cake!" If you can't eat the grapes, you say sour grapes, which is probably referring to this liar.
Before the girl could walk far, she was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then she picked up a piece of slag beside her and threw it at the liar, and cursed: "Go to hell!"
Although the liar escaped, he accidentally fell off the stage. The scene looked particularly embarrassing, and everyone around him laughed.
Including Zhang Yi.
By the time the liar got up, the girl was already gone.
Zhang Yi put away his smile and prepared to go home.
But the liar suddenly stopped him and said, "Hey, hey, hey! Zhang Yi! Have you thought clearly about what I asked you last time?"
Last time?
Zhang Yi's eyes were cold, but he asked with a smile on his face: "Last time? When was the last time?"
"Hey? Don't pretend to be confused with me! It was me who introduced your sister to become a waiter on the train!"
Zhang Yi stopped smiling, and his eyes began to glow blue.
The liar was startled and quickly explained: "Hey, hey, hey! I don't mean anything else. I am just looking at you brother and sister for pity! Besides, the kind of job I introduced to your sister is definitely not that kind of job! Right?"
Zhang Yi didn't believe the guy in front of him at all. He knew who he was.
Although he looks like a harmless clown, behind the scenes, what he did
Those bad things are simply outrageous.
"No need." Zhang Yi answered simply. He pushed away the liar's hand and walked into the rusty elevator.
The liar was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Hey! Don't worry! Think about it again! Huh? Come to me at any time when you have thought about it!"
Zhang Yiquan pretended not to hear.
When Zhang Yi's figure disappeared, the liar showed a sinister smile. He held up his hat, then turned around and looked at the crowd. When he found a new target, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said:
"Well, girl, I have a job here, do you want to try it?"
…
The main structure of the abandoned inspection station is located on the lowest level of the port, next to the underground transportation network.
This place was originally equipped with thousands of sets of inspection equipment, but after the inspection station was abandoned, the equipment has been removed. Now it is like the remains of a giant beast after its death, and has become a shelter for many newcomers.
On the way home by taking the elevator, many people came up one after another.
They all wore the same windbreakers as Zhang Yi, and also wore masks.
The reason why these people are so mysterious is that they are neither free citizens nor have temporary residence permits. They are a group of unidentified "sojourners" that exist in all major domes.
You have to ask how these people came into being.
The answer may be more complicated... Some "sojourners" broke away from the freemen's camp and applied for a temporary residence permit. They committed crimes during the period and were deprived of their residence permit for life. Some were abandoned by freemen or people with temporary residence permits.
Some of the ones that started here are quite special...
They were the original "sojourners" who existed before the founding of the Glorious Republic.
However, they are not the last descendants of the empire, but the clones left after the Turaya incident... They were originally created as reserves for the superstructure, but after the Turaya incident completely broke out, these people were treated as
The stains are either forced to be dealt with... or they become sojourners and can only live in this dark crack.
Although humanitarians had previously applied to the Supreme Court for proper resettlement of these people, before the Supreme Court could accept and process this application, some radical elements among these people took the lead in taking action and caused conflicts including many arbitration executives.
A total of 156 people died, and thousands of ordinary residents were injured.
After this incident, no one would dare to do anything for them again.
After all, everyone knows that these people cannot have children normally, and their life span is generally only five to ten years, so they just need to wait...
That’s it…
Zhang Yi feels particularly interesting every time he thinks of this sentence.
But he couldn't remember who made these lofty remarks in front of him.
The elevator continued to descend, and when it reached the 75th floor underground, only Zhang Yi and a slim-looking "sojourner" were left in the elevator.
He had been leaning against the entrance since he got on the elevator, and he would cough violently from time to time, as if he was seriously ill.
In a place like this, getting sick is basically equal to death.
Therefore, Zhang Yi transformed most of his body into mechanical prosthetics a long time ago. The biggest advantage of this is that he does not have to worry about disease.
But if it is something special, such as a disease that threatens the heart and brain, Zhang Yi will still be wary.
So he asked: "Hey... are you okay?"
"Cough cough cough..." He started coughing again, and this time he coughed so hard that he couldn't even stand still.
