Global Cataclysm: My Life in Sanctuary Versailles

After speaking, he slammed the door shut.

Looking at the closed door, the boy clenched his fist unconsciously with his hand on his pants.

......

"Can Aunt Liu..."

"Grandpa Qian, can you..."

"Brother Chang, can you..."

After the boy asked about the passage on the left, he returned to the original point. Standing at the door of his room, he heard a faint voice coming from inside. The boy's footsteps, which had already stopped, stepped out towards the passage on the right again.

Come to the door of a room.

Boom! Boom!

Knock on the door!

Soon the door opened, and a woman of about 40 came out.

The woman's hair is simply tied into a ponytail, but there are messy hair ends everywhere around her, her face is haggard, and her whole body exudes a sense of fatigue.

"Liangzi, why are you here?"

"Aunt Han...can you lend me half a bowl of rice? My sister is really hungry. I'll go to work later, and I'll pay you back the food at night."

"This..."

There was a trace of embarrassment on the woman's face.

After pausing for a while, he opened his mouth and said:

"Liangzi, it's not that Aunt Han didn't help you. The shelter collapsed a while ago, and your Uncle Li's leg was crushed..."

The boy lowered his head, clenched his fists and said nothing.

At this time, a weak middle-aged man's voice came from the room.

"Ahem! Borrow Liangzi half a bowl!"

The woman turned her head and looked at her husband lying on the bed.

"Old Li, but today's medicine..."

"It takes one less day to die!"

"But..."

"Borrow it!"

Seeing her husband like this, the woman sighed, and said to the boy standing at the door, "Come in, Liangzi, and I'll get it for you."

The two entered.

The layout of the whole house is the same as that of the teenager's room. The standard four square meters are equipped with two bunk beds, and the rest of the place is full of various sundries.

The only difference is that the whole room is filled with a strong smell of medicine.

A man was lying on the lower bunk of the bunk bed near the door.

The man's bare right foot was bound with a bandage.

The young man entered the door and hurriedly said hello: "Hello, Uncle Li!"

"Liangzi, don't blame your Aunt Han, it's your Uncle Li who is useless."

"..."

The woman dug out the bag containing the grain from a cabinet in the house, and opened it, there were less than three small bowls of coarse grain in it.

Carefully took out half a bowl from it, put it in a pocket, and handed it to the boy.

"You take this Ryoko!"

The boy took half a bowl of coarse grain rice from the woman, and tears finally flowed out uncontrollably.

He bowed to the two people in the room.

"Thank you Uncle Li, thank you Aunt Han, I will go to work later, and I will return you after receiving the food at night."

"Go! Don't rush to pay back, take good care of your sister."

Now that you have already borrowed it, there is no need to rush to ask others to pay it back.

Watching the young man leave, the woman closed the door, dug out two bowls from the grain bag just now and put them in the other pocket, and said in her mouth, "Originally there were three bowls a day, but now I have half a bowl left." , how can I survive today!"

"Don't worry about it today, you and Gangzi still have to work, so let's have a full meal today."

"That can't be done. If you stop, what should you do if you become inflamed and concentrated?"

"I can't die if I stop for a day, and besides, Lao Ji and his wife just left, leaving two and a half older children behind. Would you be so embarrassing if I beg you?"

......

The boy who borrowed rice trotted home.

Opening the door, he quickly handed the bag to the girl on the bed who had been waiting for him to come back, and shook it with a smile.

"Dodo, what do you think this is?"

"Meter!"

The little girl looked at the pocket in the boy's hand, and a smile appeared on her face, her eyes became a small crescent. "Duoduo, please wait for a while, brother will cook porridge for you right away!"

After coaxing the girl for a while, the boy picked up a pot that he usually used from the vacant bed, carefully poured all the rice in his pocket into it, added half of the pot of water, and put it on the stove.

Soon the water in the pot began to boil, and every time it turned, it rolled up a scent.

The little girl's red eyes kept staring at the pot, and her mouth kept swallowing.

In half an hour, a pot of coarse grain porridge that couldn't be thinner was ready.

The boy tried his best to scoop up half a bowl of porridge with rice for the girl and put it on the bedside table.

"Duo Duo has to stay at home obediently after dinner, brother will go out to work later, if you are hungry at noon, you can put it in the pot yourself, you know?"

......

After telling the girl everything he could think of, and seeing the girl eating seriously, the boy licked his lips, and poured two bowls of rice soup from the pot into his stomach.

He dug out a mask and gloves that he didn't know how many times he had used, put them in his trousers bag, and touched the girl with red eyes who watched him go out.

"Duoduo is a big kid now, be obedient and cook something delicious for you when I come back at night."

"Well! Brother, you said it! Dodo will definitely wait for you to come back obediently."

Chapter 85 Scavengers

The boy left the room and came to the work arrangement point on the first floor.

Common jobs in the shelter are picked up and delivered here.

Choose a job, get a number plate, and after handing over the work, use the number plate to go to the next material exchange point to exchange for one day's supplies.

When the boy came here, there was already a long queue.

"Don't squeeze, come one by one."

The whole team got together in threes and fives to discuss enthusiastically.

"What are you going to do today?"

"I'd better dig the third floor! Although the salary is a little less, it's better to be safe."

"It can't compare to the three laborers in your family. I'm going to clean the pipes today."

"Speaking of which, Lao Luo, you are comfortable, fourth-level electrician, good guy, you can get half a bowl an hour. I heard that your family still steamed steamed buns yesterday."

The electrician who was spoken to had a smug expression on his face.

"What am I? Do you know how much those people on the second floor earn?"

Without waiting for the person next to him to speak, he said directly: "I'm afraid I'll scare you by saying it. I was welding a broken pipe with me a while ago, and I met a second-level technician. Others would pay half a catty for an hour."

"I regret it very much now. When my dad asked me to learn a craft, why did I act like this..."

"By the way, Lao Hu, what are you going to do today?"

In the crowd, an honest-looking man heard someone ask him, and said, "I'm going to clean up the ruins on the first floor."

"Old Hu, don't die, there is a danger of landslides anytime now."

"That's right, if you didn't just bury a few a few days ago, don't be confused."

"Old Hu, don't be confused, the siblings are just confinement, if you are gone..."

Listening to everyone's persuasion, the man did not speak.

......

One by one, they leave after receiving their work, and it will be the boy's turn soon.

Look at the job descriptions and prices on the wall.

"Clean up a landslide, price: 2 hours and a half bowl of miscellaneous rice; requirement: adult male; note: life and death are up to you."

"Excavate the third-floor area, price: 4 hours and a half bowl of miscellaneous rice; requirements: adult men, remarks: strong priority."

"Drain pipes, price: 3 hours and a half bowl of miscellaneous rice; requirements: adult male, remarks: able to use various tools proficiently, those with relevant work experience are preferred."

"Refuge line construction, price: negotiable, requirements: be proficient in using various tools, and those with relevant work experience are preferred."

"Planting greenhouse helper, price: 8 hours and a half bowl of miscellaneous rice; requirements: priority for the elderly, weak, women and children."

"Clean the shelter, price: 8 hours and a half bowl of miscellaneous rice; requirements: priority for the elderly, weak, women and children."

......

Either I didn't meet my standards, or I was paid too little.

He and his sister have at least one to one and a half bowls a day to barely eat, and they still owe half a bowl to others.

Just when the boy was hesitating, a new job was added to the wall.

"Follow the search team to go out and collect materials. Price: 5% of the income will be handed over, and the rest will be exchanged for materials according to the value; Remarks: High risk, high return."

Seeing this, he was moved.

This should be the best job for him right now.

Just be lucky!After one trip, he and his sister can have a full meal.

At this time, the boy finally stood on the receiving platform.

"What mission did you choose?"

"Hi, I want the one I just posted."

"Follow the search team out." The staff member looked up, saw that it was a half-grown child, frowned and said, "Children are not very suitable for you!"

"I'll take this! Don't worry, I understand the rules, and I will take care of myself."

"Okay! Take this and go to the meeting point at the gate and wait." The staff didn't say much, and handed the boy a work card directly after registration.

"Next..."

The teenager took the work card and came to the assembly point.

After a short while, a few more adult men came to the assembly point with the same task card.

They glanced at each other and didn't speak.

After that, many people came one after another.

Men and women of all ages.

Everyone gathered at the rendezvous point, and there was a large area in the dark. According to visual estimation, there were about 200 people.

Two hours passed.

Many of the people gathered together became impatient.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"Are you going or not?"

"How long will it take?"
