Chapter 13

Walking aimlessly in the dilapidated street, Lu Xin found that he had not seen the street carefully for a long time.

The streets are full of pits and dust, as well as water left a few days ago.

All around are dazzling neon, interwoven into a chaotic and gorgeous color.

After the red moon incident, the surviving human beings in the high city wall seem to be divided into two different kinds.

One is particularly busy, walking in a hurry, nothing more time to see.

One is that they are not very busy. If they sit listlessly on both sides of the street, lay a piece of burden in front of them, or set up a table, or some wild vegetables, or some unknown meat, or some rough sharpened knives, or some hunters outside the city go to explore the abandoned city and search for some worn-out ornaments, And unknown scientific and technological items and so on.

There are many people, they just come together in groups, smoking, whistling to the women in the street.

There are still a lot of lunatics outside. When Gaoqiang city was first built, there was a time when people couldn't even get enough to eat. But maybe it was because there were fewer people in the world who needed to eat, and the pressure on their qualifications was reduced. Or maybe the speed of civilization reconstruction exceeded everyone's expectation. It was just 30 years. Inside the high city wall, there were more people who needed to eat, There are few more famines or starving people

... in short, it's not difficult to eat in the high wall city.

The difficulty is how to make your life better!

This is the case with these idle people wandering in the street. They have not even obtained the official identity of satellite city 2, nor can they enter a professional technical school or school. What's more, they have no hope of entering the main city to live in their whole life.

So instead, they give up all their pursuits, don't work, and don't think about tomorrow's life.

They just walk in the street every day, looking at everything passing by, empty eyes, also don't know what to think.

……

……

So Lu Xin walked down the street, looking at all the people.

He was looking to see if there was as much danger among these people as the clerk at the corner coffee shop.

As long as you can catch one, you can make a lot of money and save a lot of people.

Sister's figure, always inadvertently from his side, sometimes, sister appeared in the tall building beside him, sometimes, lazy from his head across the wire, sometimes, appeared in a bald uncle's head.

Brother and sister patrol the street so seriously.

And then nothing happened.

"This city is too big..."

After wandering seven or eight streets, Lu Xin squatted on the side of the street, smoking and eating a box lunch.

He summed up his experience in his heart: "although the population of Gaoqiang city was very small when it was first built, more and more people have been born in recent decades, which suddenly exploded. In our satellite 2 City alone, there are more than one million people. The police complain every day that they are short of manpower. Just like me, they can't meet anything, It's a very normal thing... "

"Patrol a few more times, you can definitely meet..."

“……”

After lunch, Lu Xin patrols for a while, then goes back to sleep and goes to work the next day.

He did that for the next few days.

However, this too normal city disappointed Lu Xin a little, and there was nothing strange.

"If this city is too safe and there is no place for me, will they take back my subsidy?"

Lu Xin couldn't help worrying.

However, he did not expect that his other job had problems first.

"Xiao Lu, you don't have to come to work tomorrow!"

The director, who was bald in half but still combed carefully, pushed a dismissal contract to Lu Xin.

"Why?"

Lu Xin was surprised by the director's words, some of which were incomprehensible.

How can I accept the resignation of this job before I become a regular?

In the world after the red moon incident, it's normal to be dismissed because of the economic instability, especially in the busy work like sitting in the office and using your brain instead of running to the wharf or factory day and night. Many people are staring at it and the competition is extremely fierce, but Lu Xin still doesn't think about it, It's going to be on your own.

I'm very serious. I haven't made any mistakes over the years.

I'm even a model worker. The banner is still hanging in my partition.

Even if you want to quit, how can you quit yourself?

……

……

"This matter, Xiao Lu, you have to understand!"

With a smile on his face, the director pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Xin, showing his yellow teeth. He said with a smile, "the company is in a recession now. You can't afford too many people for the same job. Compared with Xiao Lu, you have the same business ability, but Xiao Lu's work attitude is much better than you. Look at you, you leave early every day and don't get off work, There will be no one... "

"Lu Cheng?"

Lu Xin thought of the young man who always accompanied him with a smiling face to teach him how to deal with his work and kept silent.

He also knew what the director meant by leaving early.

In fact, I didn't leave early, but I didn't take the initiative to stay and work overtime.

"Director, can you give me another chance?"

Lu Xin had a lot to say in his heart, but at the end he just asked in a low voice.

The director's face showed an expression of embarrassment: "Alas, you are an old employee, and I can't bear to part with you. But in our company, as you know, a radish is a pit, and we can't afford idlers. Under the condition of the same ability, attitude is very important..."

Lu Xin didn't listen to the latter words because he knew they were fake.

When he left the director's office, he saw that his belongings had been packed up and put in a box.

I don't know who is so kind.

"It's Lu Cheng who cleaned it up for you. He wanted to move here for a long time..."

Auntie sun, with curly hair beside her partition, whispered to Lu Xin: "Xiao Lu, it's not sister sun who said you, but you're too honest. I told you before, don't teach others everything. You see, they robbed you of your job? It's said that this boy is very good. He's dating the director's daughter. The director is so smart. How can he not give his work to his family? "

Lu Xin silently looked at the banner in his box, reached into his backpack and touched the gun inside.

But in the end, he did not pull out, but first came downstairs, lit a cigarette, and then walked slowly.

He remembered what Chen Jing had told him before.

If you are in trouble in your life, give yourself three suggestions.

One is to call the police.

Second, call her.

Third, use guns.
