Rise From The Doom Chapter 57

"I, the lion, cannot speak for my kindness twice. I will say this once more, that this life belongs to benefactor, and in the future, if benefactor has any orders, come in the wind, go in the rain, or go up the mountain of blades or down the sea of flames, I will not frown." The lion promised solemnly. Although the more than one hundred men behind him did not say anything, their eyes revealed the same intention.

"This place is pretty good." Liu Wei An smiled and changed the topic. He was going to walk out of the slave district in the future, so why would he need a lion's reward?

"Yes, freedom." A flash of disappointment pa.s.sed through the lion's eyes before it returned to normal.

Freedom? Liu Wei An was surprised. Could this place be related to freedom?

The lion smiled with pride. He led Liu Wei An into a building. Although it was dilapidated, it was still very st.u.r.dy. When the children saw the lion, they all bowed and greeted him. It was clear that the lion's prestige here was very high. More than a hundred of his men sent the wounded back to the building to recuperate, and the rest cleaned up the corpses without waiting for orders.

"There's nothing to eat here, and there's no water to drink. Sorry to embarra.s.s you." The lion's smile was apologetic, but he did not feel inferior.

It should be a hall. At the moment, it was filled with sc.r.a.ps of metal, as well as high piles of paper and plastic. There was a musty smell coming from the floor.

"This place is pretty good!" This was the second time Liu Wei An had said such words, but the meaning was completely different. Instead of sitting on a log that should have been a stool, he began to browse.

"There is no one who cares, no discrimination, no disdain, and you can do whatever you want here. Although there is no food, no water, and no beautiful clothes, everyone here is very happy. Those who come here are full of hope for their lives." The lion followed and saw Liu Wei An stop in front of a pile of tires. He introduced, "These tires are all from cars, each can be exchanged for an energy tube, but this is not a good deal. If you sell the steel and rubber separately, along with the parts and screws inside, you can sell them for 3 more coins."

"These PC boards were taken down from TV, mobile phones, tablets, computers, and some electronic products. They were covered in gold and silver, but unfortunately, we didn't refine them out of technology. Otherwise, it wouldn't even be a problem for the people here to eat."

"These gla.s.ses should be very valuable. Unfortunately, the buyer said that they were too dirty and had too many germs, so they ended up selling them for twenty Jin per copper coin. There was nothing we could do about it."

Many of these books have been buried underground for hundreds of years and haven't rotted away, so they should be worth some money. It's a pity that we can't get out the door, and no one else can see these things, the purchaser said one copper coin for three kilograms, and I've made up my mind to sell them myself. However, I don't think that I'll be able to put them away for now, because when everyone is about to starve to death, we'll sell them even if it's just one copper coin for one hundred kilograms. "

Liu Wei'an stayed in front of the book for the longest time, and it took him almost two minutes to continue walking. When he walked out of the hall, he found that the corridor was also filled with junk, broken ceramics, rusted stainless steel, greasy beads, broken gla.s.ses, bent spoons, cracked cell phones, shoes that no longer had any color at all...

The two walked and stopped at the front, followed by a few curious children. However, they did not dare to approach and followed from afar. Finally, they arrived at the foot of a mountain of trash.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been difficult for Liu Wei An to imagine how the acc.u.mulation of garbage could be so spectacular and magnificent. It was at least 300 meters in height, shaped like a pyramid, with sharp edges. The further down it went, the bigger it became. Standing at his feet, he felt like an ant, so small.

The abandoned cars, the deformed motorcycles, the decayed sofas, the deformed clothes, the quilted quilts, the broken television, the computer, the huge container, even a piece of rusted aircraft head, a million kinds of garbage, after hundreds of years of extrusion and precipitation, many things were no longer recognizable, even the stainless steel had rusted. A thick smell of mold, decay, and acid mixed together a.s.saulted his senses.

Liu Wei An just stayed for a few seconds before he felt like he couldn't take it anymore, but the lion looked like he was used to it. Staring at this trash mountain, there was no disgust on his face, only love.

"A few hundred years ago, there was still no Apocalypse War on Earth. After Mercury, Mars was converted into a city that could live on Earth, but because of the harsh environment, only a small number of people were willing to come, and in the end, it became a garbage dump. Tens of thousands of tons of garbage were transported to Mars every day. "Not long after that, the Apocalypse War broke out and the entire solar system's resources were depleted. The trash on Mars became a hot topic." After saying this, the lion's face revealed a smile that was taunting or lucky, "Everyone came and went, pulling the trash that we didn't want back home, but there were still a lot that remained, these have become the foundation of our lives, those high and mighty rulers probably didn't expect such a day to come, like us slaves, who rely on trash."

The lion seemed to be mocking himself, but at the same time, it seemed to be mocking himself. Liu Wei An was silent, but he also felt that the world was unpredictable. Ever since the beginning of the Apocalypse, no one could predict humanity's future.

With this place as the center, there are garbage mountains in the west, north, and south. Every fifty to sixty miles, a group of people will gather at the bottom of each garbage mountain. There are dozens of people at the bottom, and 800 to 900 people at the same time. The lion laughed, his smile filled with the vicissitudes of life and sadness that did not match his age.

"Never thought of going out?" Liu Wei An asked.

"Yes, even in my dreams." After a full minute of silence, the lion finally spoke, "Freedom? Even life can't be guaranteed, freedom is just a joke, there's no food here, there's no water here, and the most serious thing is that there is an extreme lack of medicine here, a little cold and headaches can easily lead to death, there are people here every day who can't live past tomorrow, every morning when I get up to patrol, I have to send one or two corpses to be buried, here's a circ.u.mference of five hundred to six hundred miles, no one older than sixty years old. The average age of the people here doesn't exceed 30. I'm already 25 years old this year, I don't know if I'll be able to live past 30. "

"I thought you were thirty." Liu Wei An was surprised.

The lion was speechless, and said after a while, "People here have no food, and take energy tubes for a long time. Although it guaranteed their lives, they lost a lot of nutrients, such as vitamins A, B, C, D, calcium, zinc, and other trace elements. I don't know much about it, but I do know that there are some things that are missing, and the resistance is getting weaker, and I'm not strong enough, and I can't do any heavy work, but if I can't do it, then I have no income. Also, our people, who take unsanitary water for a long time, also have poor health or mutation. Many married people do not dare to have children and are afraid of having abnormal children. We want to get out of this place, but we're scared to get out of this place. "

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Wei An asked.

"The people outside are cunning. Do you know why I went to the commercial street last time?" The lion's eyes flashed with hatred, "The businessman that came here to buy trash wanted to bargain, but I didn't agree, so he refused to trade with me. There was really nothing to eat, so I had no choice but to go out.

Not to mention the people outside the wall, even the people on the business street would beat and scold the slaves without showing the slightest hint of respect, because the slaves had no rights in the first place. It was a high regard that a merchant would come to trade, and strictly speaking, a lion really didn't have the right to bargain. In other words, the interests of merchants were above everything else, and they could generate wealth. If it was any other military force, they would not even try to reason with you.

"Actually, these are all small matters. What we are most afraid of is that we have not gone to school or learned anything, that we don't know what we can do after we leave, that we end up like those slaves on the streets, that we lose all hope in life, that we are left with only numbness in life, that we can do nothing but wait for charity. If that's the case, I might as well just die. " The lion sighed.

"This is a treasure trove." Liu Wei An pointed at the mountain of trash in front of them as he changed the topic. "But in your hands, it can't become a treasure."

The lion looked at Liu Wei An and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"I can help you." Liu Wei An looked at the lion and said seriously.

"Benefactor, please speak frankly. What do you need me to do?" The lion didn't hesitate. "I said, my life will be yours from now on."

"I don't want your life." Liu Wei An laughed, "Your life is of great use to me."

Two hours later, Liu Wei An left Times Square. Yes, that's right, it was this c.r.a.ppy square. This lion guy really dared to choose his name.

When he returned home, Zhao Nan and Zhao Xin had already fallen asleep. Liu Wei An lay on the bed and went through the details of the plan in his mind. After making sure that there were no flaws, he closed his eyes.

The next day, he got up and called Zhou Xing, but this guy changed s.h.i.+fts s.h.i.+fts and didn't start work until 8 PM. Liu Wei An had to wait until 8 PM to find him.

"There's something going on up there recently. The verification of the ID card has become even stricter. I estimate that the certificate will be delayed for around ten days." As soon as Zhou Xing saw her, he immediately explained.

"You just watch. I'm relieved." Liu Wei An didn't waste any time, and went straight to the point, "I have something else to talk to you about."

"What is it?" Zhou Xingchen heaved a sigh of relief. It was good enough that he wasn't rus.h.i.+ng for his ID.

"Find someone!" Liu Wei An said.

"Looking for someone? Then you found me the right way. " Zhou Xing laughed. "My uncle works in the Public Security Bureau —"

"Not that one." Liu Wei An shook his head and said seriously, "I want to find a businessman. He has credibility."

"This, might take some time." Zhou Xing gave a start, "What kind of business person are you?"

A dozen minutes later, Liu Wei An left. Zhou Xing was full of joy as he gently caressed the gold coin in his hand.
