Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland

Chapter 72 Is this a new home?

Fan Fei took the initiative to take Lu Meng and others to see their long-term rental house.

The rest of the gang naturally had no objections. It was better to do less than to do more, and it was better to take a nap if I had this energy.

I met some residents along the way, and when they saw Fan Fei, they greeted him warmly or flatteringly.

As for Lu Meng and others, they were looked at at most and then ignored.

After all, even long-term neighbors may not be very affectionate, let alone newcomers who don't yet know whether they can live safely.

Even if an ordinary gang member does not have a high status within the gang, compared to these ordinary residents, he is still superior.

On weekdays, these lower-level gang members are responsible for managing groups of people, and they also rely on them to collect rent or finance taxes.

Over time.

Whether others look at him or they evaluate him, they all feel that he has an air of majesty about him.

But when no one was around, Fan Fei was somewhat respectful to Lu Meng.

Especially when he saw Lu Meng showing off the copper lock in his hand.

Lu Meng already knew that this was the person Old Tang arranged to pick him up.Fan Fei was not a member of the Brotherhood, he was just Old Tang's personal spy, but after greeting him in advance, he recognized the Brotherhood's logo.

He had also received Tie Bangtang's instructions before and used Kai Coin to take care of his upper and lower joints.

As for the manpower deployed by Old Tang, they seemed to be a bit low-level, and Lu Meng didn't care.

This rather shows that the Qingyang Gang's management is quite strict, and they can organize a decent resistance when they encounter the attack of the Fog Man.

If Qingyang Street was completely infiltrated by Old Tang, there would be no need to call the street any more, just change its name to Black Market.

"that……"

"Just call me old doctor outside from now on." Seeing that Fan Fei was undecided and dared not call himself "Huo Huo", Lu Meng also took the initiative to give him a step down.

"Old doctor, this is your room." Fan Fei led everyone into the long-term rental house.

When I walked in, I saw that there wasn't much decoration inside the house, but it was neatly kept. Although the furniture was simple, it was fully equipped.

Several partitions have been used to divide the space into different functional areas, and new locks have been added to the rooms and storage rooms. A wooden ladder leads directly to the roof of this floor, so you can make repairs or escape at any time.

From the outside, this house looked no different from other buildings, but when you compare the conditions inside, you know that this house is much better than the rental houses of other residents.

"How many coins?"

"Twenty-nine a day...you don't have to worry about the rent."

"Will there be any trouble?" Lu Meng asked.

Even if it is a long-term rental house with a price of 30 yuan, these conditions are considered good.

He noticed that there was even charcoal ready next to the stove, so that cooking indoors would reduce a lot of the smoke.

Obviously these odds and ends have not been calculated into the rent, so how could the gang management be so kind.

Although Lu Meng no longer cares about the one or two coin openings, he still doesn't want to get into trouble for it.

"Don't worry, old doctor." Fan Fei replied, "We already have a lot of room to operate these rents, and Mr. Tang has specially taken care of them."

"You can rest assured and stay here. If there is any news, I will contact you here."

Lu Meng nodded.

If Old Tang pays for it, then there is no need to save him a couple of bucks.

This old man is extremely rich.

After sending Fan Fei away, several people began to clean up the house.

Rather than tidying up, it is better to look at this new home, especially Huo Buyang and Li Liu.

For them, who were originally scavengers, being able to live on a safe street and own a hut of their own could be said to be their lifelong dream.

I didn’t expect it would actually come true now.

Although the small building when I first moved was not bad, it still couldn't compare to the sense of ceremony now.

The small building was not completely abandoned, and could still be used as a resting point when traveling outside.

After visiting around, Huo Buyang noticed Lu Meng.

His emotions were not as high as his own.

"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?" Huo Buyang asked, "Is it... that you were originally a resident of the street." Who is Lu Meng?

This question has been lingering in the young man's mind for a long time. In the end, he thought that the most likely answer was: Lu Meng was originally a street dweller, but later lived in the wilderness and ruins and became a scavenger.

This can explain why he knows so many things and is so different from the scavengers.

If Brother Lu was originally a street resident, coming here now would be like "going home" to him, and he wouldn't be as excited as he is.

However, since Huo Buyang actually came to Qingyang Street, the answer to this question has been somewhat shaken.

Even if it’s just a quick walk through.

He could also find that the residents and gang members living here were no different from the scavengers outside.

Not everyone here is a "road dreamer."

Lu Meng shook his head, denying it, but did not answer him directly.

"I was thinking," he began, "that this is not our last home."

Hearing this, the three people in the room became quiet.

Yes, they all know.

Even without the invasion of the Fog Man, no matter how exquisite this hut was, they would not be able to live peacefully on Qingyang Street.

They will leave here and go to the next place.

But with Huo Buyang's knowledge, he couldn't imagine what a better life would be like now.

"Brother Lu, do you want to buy a house by yourself?" He said pretending to be mature.

Today's long-term rental houses are rented anyway. Even if they can stay there forever, they are still someone else's property.

If it were Brother Lu, he might want to have a house that truly belongs to him, such as buying one in the town of Scone he mentioned.

It is indeed a happy thing to think about.

It's just that the amount of coins spent is also unimaginable.

Lu Meng smiled and shook his head again:

"It would be nice to have our own base..."

He uses "base" instead of "home," as if for him the function of a house is not to live in it.This made Huo Buyang a little confused, but he was also used to Brother Lu's sometimes weird thinking.

But what Lu Meng said next really shocked Huo Buyang:

"What I really want is a city!"

"One, a city?" This was beyond the boy's thinking, "A city like the hub?"

Huo Buyang had never left the hub, and if it hadn't been for meeting Lu Meng, he wouldn't have traveled to as many places as he did now.

From the wilderness to the black market, and from the black market to Qingyang Street... Even so, he has not traveled all over the city.

And now Brother Lu says he wants to own a city?

What is that concept?
Like the supervisor of Fangshi?
Even though Huo Buyang had already understood the supreme method of "don't understand, just learn directly" while getting along with Brother Lu, he still couldn't process the information in Lu Meng's words at this moment.

"How can a shabby place like the Hub Station compare... But that will have to be a long time later."

"I might even ask you to help me then."

Lu Meng did not continue the discussion, but smiled and said: "What we need most now..."

"It should be a dinner."

Feeling that Brother Lu's tone had relaxed, Huo Buyang no longer dwelled on these fanciful things, but went to deal with the ingredients happily as usual.

He had never used an oven like the one in this room.

Today was originally a day to be happy about.

I guess Brother Lu will also say some unreasonable things because of his excitement.

Lu Meng was wiping off the corneas on his eyes, which made his eyes look cloudy.

'A city...' he thought to himself, 'but it's just a base. '
