Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 7

The waste yard is located at the northeast corner of the tenth floor, almost separated from the southern area where Hera's house is located, from the entire residential area.

Starting from Hera's tent, Jiatu took about three to ten minutes to reach the destination.

Through seven or eight tents, Jiatu could smell the unique strong smell of the wasteland.

But compared to the "biological stench" of the garbage dump in the previous life, the smell of the garbage dump is undoubtedly much more comfortable——

Because very few garbage such as fruits and vegetables are dumped, the "strong smell" here is also mainly clay and metal smells.

At the beginning of every month, there is "Trash Dump Day" at the shelter.

A large amount of domestic garbage from the upper floors of the shelter, like a torrential rain, poured down from the pipes above the waste yard.

As for the dumped "garbage", most residents on the tenth floor think that they are real "living goods".

They will go out collectively on this day to decompose the fallen "garbage" in piles and piles, and pick out the parts that still have value, or keep them for themselves, or sell them to recyclers on the eighth floor.

Over time, the "abandoned yard" has become the only relatively stable "source of income" for the residents on the tenth floor. As long as there is no shortage of hands and feet, they can dream of "accidentally getting rich" by rummaging through garbage.

In the past, Hera would never have allowed Jiatu to come to the scrapyard.

Because in her opinion, the environment of the abandoned site is very harsh, mixed with various bacteria and viruses, and it is a very dangerous place for the weak tenth-floor residents.

But Jiatu had no choice.

Any "normal job" will not accept a "disabled person" like him.

Only a job without any threshold like the scrapyard would accept him without discrimination.

Even such a job is not so easy for him.

Because in the scrapyard, there are a group of guys called "vault rogues".

Just how cruel and ruthless these guys are, Jiatu had already experienced it not long ago.

.

Standing behind the tent, Jiatu observed the entrance and exit of the waste yard from a distance of seven or eight meters.

After confirming that no threatening targets were found, he followed the flow of people on "Recycling Day" and entered the waste yard.

Today is the monthly "Garbage Dumping Day", and the crowds are dense. Jiatu touched the wound on his forehead and walked towards the depths of the dump.

It was three months ago that Jiatu was stalked by the rogues in the shelter.

At that time, he had just come to the scrap yard not long ago, and he didn't know much about the situation here. With the idea of ​​finding something to do, he had a conflict with a group of "shelter rogues".

He didn't know the details of the rogues, and the rogues didn't know his strength.

The two sides fought without each other's knowledge. Jiatu used the knowledge learned from the outer armor to break the arm of one of their members, and they instigated a group of refugee orphans to cause trouble for Jiatu .

Jiatu's ability to compete with Hena, a top student in the training school, is naturally not something that ordinary shelter gangsters can compete with; and the gangsters who have failed several times have gradually realized that they want to "compete" with Jiatu. Competing", it is impossible to fight more against fewer by relying only on the advantage of numbers.

They can only take advantage of Jiatu by keeping a distance and attacking him with long-range projectiles by taking advantage of Jiatu's inability to move.

Facing such a tactic, Jiatu had nothing to do.

After all, he couldn't even keep up with the Vault outcasts the rogues had ordered, let alone the rogues themselves.

The two sides have come and gone several times, and after discovering that each other has nothing to do with each other, they gradually stalemate.

Until not long ago, the intensification of the conflict caused the dispute to be transferred to the water intake room.

This caused "Aunt Wang" to roar.

Jiatu leaned against the wall at the edge of the waste yard, recalled the whole incident, closed his eyes and estimated the time.

It was almost nine o'clock.

There were trembling and humming sounds from the dilapidated pipes above the junkyard.

With the sudden opening of the garbage pipe, countless large and small, shining silver or a mass of black waste poured down from a height of more than ten meters!

The shelter's once-a-month "Recycling Festival" has officially begun!
Facing the black-brown debris that suddenly spewed out from the garbage pipe, the residents of the refuge around Jiatu, like desert travelers who have been in the dew for a long time, rushed towards it crazily!

Even though he was smashed to pieces by pieces of broken pottery, he didn't stop!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jiatu was stunned. He had never participated in a recycling day before, so he never expected to see such an astonishing scene!
He instinctively realized that it was impossible for a "novice" like himself to grab a piece of brick in such a crowd, so he couldn't help but stop.

But the habit he cultivated in the spirit competition system still allowed him to observe the situation.

For the first 30 seconds, he couldn't see anything.

But as time went by, he gradually figured out some clues.

In the whole "scramble for materials", there are a large number of shelter residents who don't care about it, and blindly stare at the "shiny objects" that have landed and rush towards them.

Their upper bodies were wrapped in heavy gauze, and they turned a blind eye to the lighter falling objects. Even if they were hit by relatively heavy falling objects, they only shook their bodies slightly twice, and they relied on their will to hold on.

This recycling strategy is crude, but anyone can easily try it.

So there are a lot of people.

The relatively more technical ones are those "advanced recyclers" who are simple in clothes but flexible in stature. Compared with the former "wrapped recyclers", most of them have their heads up and goggles while avoiding Looking for the falling objects, while looking for those high-value items in the sky of falling objects.

Compared with "cloth wrapping", "goggles" are more expensive equipment, so compared to "cloth wrapping recyclers", "goggle recyclers" are obviously more professional.

However, soon, Jiatu realized that although goggle recyclers have higher requirements for equipment and technology, their posture of avoiding falling objects as much as possible also distracts their time and energy. Reloaders recover more valuable supplies.

So, just when Jiatu felt that the goggle recycler's actions were a bit stupid, he saw a "shelter rogue" not far away, just like himself, who was observing the situation with his arms crossed.

Jiatu even saw his "enemies" in it.

Obviously, they also noticed Jiatu.

But just like Jiatu, their main purpose of coming to the scrap yard today was not to fight——

Instead, they came to "hunt humans".
