Chapter 35 Kindness
The city where Minemet is located is called Kadam. In the old days, it was a big city that could accommodate millions of people. After complete planning, the city has built perfect supporting facilities. However, these buildings suffered serious damage on the day of the catastrophe. Almost half of the city has been destroyed, and until today, a crater with a diameter of about 1,000 meters can still be seen from the air.
It was a earth scar directly smashed by a meteorite. It was like the mouth of a giant beast, showing silent ferociousness to the world.
Remte was rebuilt bit by bit in such a deserted city, occupying a small part of the eastern part of the city. After 20 years of renovation and construction, the residents of Remte have not only built a living base underground, but also repaired many building facilities on the surface, including the water circulation system needed for survival.
During the day, most of Remte's residents live in underground bases. Only a small number of soldiers on the ground stayed in the sentry tower as guards, and at night, the temperature on the surface dropped to the right temperature, and the residents were able to breathe on the ground. The restored building is available for them to rest and chat, and even Remter set up a bar on the ground that is only open at night.
People can drink and chat, listen to songs and dance here, and relive the turbulance and ** of the old times. For many bitter settlements and bases, Remte has been equivalent to heaven.
Remte accepts the participation of outsiders, but it is located on the edge of the central continent, and few people deliberately migrate to Remte to live. Therefore, the number of Remte residents has remained basically unchanged for ten years. It is not easy to join Remte. In addition to various charges like other bases, Remte has also adopted a conscription system.
That is to say, young men and women, except for children and the elderly, will be incorporated into soldiers by Remte. Here, they will receive training for soldiers, and according to the arrangement, each person must participate in standing guard and maintaining law and order for at least one week per month.
And the fee for applying to stay in Remte alone has deterred most people.
The green car drove into the highway and followed the special lane dug by Remter to the entrance checkpoint of the settlement. Several * live-fire soldiers came forward to stop the car, and the black muzzle was aimed at the car, and then a middle-aged officer stood up and asked, "Where are you from?"
Teddy got up from his seat. He opened the door, jumped on the hot mud and raised his hand and said, "Hello, sir. We fled from Dal. The water source of our settlement has been exhausted and can no longer be lived in. Do you think Remter still has a place to take us in?
The officer pressed his sun hat and shouted, "How many of you have?"
"Fourteen people, sir."
"Remter can still accommodate this amount." The officer nodded and said.
"That's great." Teddy shouted happily.
"Don't be happy too early, boy. Remte is not a charity. You can move in. Each person pays ten yuan for temporary accommodation first, and then you can enter the base. However, you have to stay in the temporary residence we arranged for a week to confirm that there is no problem before you can officially apply for a resident card. The officer stretched out his hand and said, "If you can't afford this fee, I advise you to get out of here. I don't want the soldiers to waste their physical strength to drive you out."
Teddy showed an embarrassed expression. Dahl is a resource-poor settlement. Teddy and others live there, and they usually solve their daily needs by themselves, and at most they barter. So everyone rarely has such a thing on hand. Teddy has 25 yuan, but 20 of them are still pocket money.
"Let's discuss it, sir." Teddy finished speaking and returned to the car.
When I told everyone about the situation, everyone showed disappointment. They put the money together for only 42 yuan, which is enough for four people to temporarily live in Remte, and they don't know how much it will cost to apply for a formal resident card.
"Let the woman's children in, as for us..." Ji'an looked at everyone and said bitterly.
Teddy walked to Zero's side and waved his head to the entrance and said, "I think you can afford to pay the temporary accommodation fee. Hurry in quickly."
Zero can indeed afford it. In addition to deducting the needs of daily life, in the past two years, zero's salary plus the money earned from the task. In addition to buying equipment, he still has 230 yuan left. Of course, he paid Teddy 20 yuan for the car before, and now he only has more than 200 yuan left.
nodded, and Zero pulled Leah to stand up and wanted to get out of the car. To be honest, he sympathizes with Teddy and them, but in this damn era, sympathy is not necessary. Kelia was obviously not hard-hearted. The girl stopped when she walked to the car door, and the eyes in her hat fell on Zero.
"Can we... help them?" Leah, she knows that there is some money, but it's not much. Although rationality told her to poke her nose into other people's business, she couldn't help asking.
Zero looked at her and said seriously, "I have helped them a lot, at least let them have a temporary accommodation fee for two people. Even so, do you still want to help them?"
"I know it's stupid to do this, and I also know that every resource must be used for ideas." Lia raised her head and her eyes were firm: "But after all, we are not animals, but human beings! Everyone is of the same kind. If possible, help them.
The girl's words calmed down the people in the carriage, and their eyes looking at Leah were very complicated. It's touching, but more, but respect.
After a moment of silence, Ling passed Leah and walked down the car door. Lia was slightly disappointed, sighed and followed Zero out of the car. Unexpectedly, she heard the zero-facing officer ask a question.
"I'm a mercenary, and I don't know if Remtree has a task to take over. The kind that makes money." Zero took out a junior mercenary license, which old Jack helped him apply from Parkland after he killed the butcher.
There is no doubt that the officer also recognizes the parkland logo. Being able to get a mercenary license in such a large company is only at the beginning, but it is more valuable than the third-order or even fourth-order license granted by a small company.
The officer changed his smiling face and nodded, "As long as you have the ability, Remter welcomes mercenaries like you. For the sake of this license, your temporary residence fee can be waived.
nodded and took 130 yuan out of his wallet and handed it to the officer: "This is their expense. Now, let's go to the city."
Counting the money in his hand, the officer waved his head back. The door of the checkpoint was slowly. This scene stunned Leah and everyone in the car. Then they cheered.
Zero returned to the car and pulled Leah back to her seat. Looking at the grateful eyes of the people in the car, Zero whispered to Leah, "You are their Maria."
Maria? Who is that?" Obviously, the girl born in the new era has never heard of the name of the Virgin Mary.
With zero smile and no words, although he did not agree with Leah's overflowing sympathy. But in this cruel era, Leah's kindness is as precious as a diamond. It is this kindness that Zero is willing to protect it. Even if he doesn't know how long he can protect it.
