"There are many vacant rooms in the complex, you can choose where to live."
"All the daily necessities you lack..."
"Can be obtained through labor."
Happiness Residential Complex, basketball court.
Zhang Dabing was introducing the survival rules of Happiness Residential Complex to the newly arrived refugees—
Currently!
There are three jobs in the complex that can be exchanged for supplies: the first is cleaning—
Responsible for cleaning the complex, maintaining a clean environment!
This job is easy but offers low rewards, the supplies obtained are barely enough to survive.
Recommended for women, children, or the elderly.
The second is hunting—
Responsible for going out to hunt Ferocious Beasts, exchanging the corpses of the beasts for supplies.
This job is difficult and carries certain risks!
But the rewards are high, allowing for a comfortable life! Recommended for strong men or Espers! The third is skilled workers—
Those who possess a special skill.
Can carry out special tasks assigned by the Sky Eye Master! Like helping Lin Lang smelt steel and cast a cauldron last time.
This job is easy, offers high rewards, but also has high barriers!
Ordinary people can't do it!...
"These jobs! Whether to do them, what to do, how to do them! It's all up to you, I won't interfere."
"Understood?"
Zhang Dabing asked.
"Understood!"
Everyone answered in unison.
...
And after Zhang Dabing left.
These people finally breathed a sigh of relief, instantly feeling much more relaxed!
No way! A B-level Esper, even if he does nothing, the pressure he brings is immense!
Moreover!
Zhang Dabing had already killed someone in front of them.
And it was one of their own.
...
"Brother! I want to do the cleaning job!"
"I can sweep, mop! And do the laundry!"
"I sweep the floor very clean..."
After listening to Zhang Dabing's speech, the little girl was so excited that she couldn't help but tell her brother.
Lu Chaoqiang, however, looked disdainful and patted his sister's little head: "You're not even as tall as a broom, what floor are you sweeping?"
"Don't worry! Your brother is an Esper, he can be a hunter and hunt Ferocious Beasts!"
"Just casually kill a Ferocious Beast! The supplies you get from it, aren't they more than what you earn from sweeping the floor for a month?"
He said it lightly.
But in the little girl's mind, the ferocious images of those beasts appeared! Her eyes couldn't help but show worry: "Brother, don't go, the Ferocious Beasts are too scary..."
Lu Chaoqiang said confidently:
"Don't worry! Your brother is an Esper!"
Then he added:
"Anyway, you just focus on studying!"
"Learn more knowledge!"
"When you grow up, you can be a skilled worker here! By then, you'll earn more than your brother!"
"Okay!"
Immediately, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she said with great determination: "I will definitely study hard!"
"When I grow up, I'll be a skilled worker, earn lots and lots of supplies!"
"That way, brother won't have to do such dangerous work!"
...
The weather was getting colder.
It should be almost winter.
On this day.
Lin Lang planned to go to the Jiangbei villa area and also leave a Divine Sense Mark at Xu Xingyao's place.
Before leaving.
He went to the 2202 upstairs, the old house he used to live in.
In the wardrobe of the master bedroom, he found a set of clothes suitable for late autumn and changed into them.
And when he went out.
He heard the cold wind whistling through the hole in the study wall.
Although he no longer lived here.
Leaving a hole here was still a potential hazard—
It might gradually expand and affect the structural safety of the entire Building C!
So he sent a message to Zhang Dabing: [There's a hole in the study of 2202. Find someone to fix it and clean up the place!]
Zhang Dabing: [Yes!]
Then, Zhang Dabing posted a task in the owners' group:
[Need three civil engineers to fix the hole in the study of Unit 1, Building C, 2202!]
[Also need three cleaners to tidy up the interior!]
[After completing the task, each person can receive one bottle of purified water, a bucket of instant noodles, and a marinated egg!]
As soon as the task was posted! In less than ten seconds! The slots were filled!...
At noon.
Leng Wei came down from the rooftop after practicing her sword.
As she passed the 22nd floor, she saw a petite figure squatting at the door of 2202, diligently scrubbing the floor.
She took a closer look.
To her surprise, it was a little girl about seven or eight years old! Her clothes were tattered and shabby! Her small hands and face were red from the cold! "Such a young child, in such cold weather, why is she doing such heavy work?"
Leng Wei's heart was immediately moved with compassion.
So she walked over.
Gently asking:
"Little sister, what's your name? Who asked you to work here?"
The little girl looked up.
She saw a particularly beautiful older sister! For some reason, she felt an immediate sense of trust!
So she blinked her big eyes and softly replied:
"My name is Lu Xiaoxing, I'm a cleaner, I'm here to work and earn supplies!""
Her proud expression.
Made Leng Wei chuckle, but also feel even more heartache:
"Are you alone? Where is your family?"
"Mom and Dad both starved to death! My brother went to hunt Ferocious Beasts!"
"But those Ferocious Beasts are very cunning, my brother doesn't succeed easily, and we don't have many supplies at home..."
"My brother doesn't let me work! It was the aunties who secretly brought me here, they're still teaching me how to do it..."
Lu Xiaoxing answered with an innocent face.
Leng Wei frowned, about to speak.
But at that moment.
A sharp voice came from inside the room:
"Little brat! Are you done yet?! If you don't hurry up, your supplies will be deducted!"
Lu Xiaoxing quickly said: "Almost done!"
She stopped talking and buried her head, focusing on her work!
Laughter came from inside the room:
"Haha! Let's deduct another marinated egg from her! After all, kids don't eat much, just some water will do!"
"Sure, sure! Hahaha!"
"Is that really okay? She's doing the work of three people by herself! Let's just leave her the leftover egg yolks! That'll be enough for three meals! Hahaha!"
...
Leng Wei frowned, holding her sword, and walked into 2202—
She saw three middle-aged women.
Sitting comfortably on the sofa chatting! Yet they were making such a young child work outside? Her eyes turned cold as she asked:
"You're not working, but you make a child do it? And you're deducting her supplies?"
"Who do you think you are!"
One of the women impatiently glared at Leng Wei, her expression haughty as she said, "What do you know? We're training that little girl! Teaching her how to work so she can earn more resources in the future!"
But then.
Another woman seemed to remember something, frowning as she said, "Didn't the old residents say that any beautiful woman in the community is one of that so-called 'Bulang' big shot's women? This woman is so pretty, could she be…"
However, the woman who had spoken earlier showed no fear at all!
In fact, her gaze toward Leng Wei was filled with jealousy and disgust:
"Hmph! So what if she is?"
"We earn our living with our own hands, with a clear conscience!"
"There's no need to fear those cheap women who sell their bodies just to survive…"
Before she could finish her sentence!
A cold glint flashed in their vision! The woman's face suddenly stiffened! And then!
She reached up to touch her neck, her eyes gradually widening in shock!
She opened her mouth as if to speak, but no words came out!
Until!
A thin line of blood slowly appeared across her neck.
Then.
Her head thudded to the ground, rolling a few times.
Blood gushed out like a fountain!
...
"Ah…"
The remaining two women stared at the horrifying scene before them, but they couldn't even scream!
Their eyes were wide open!
Their faces twitched violently!
Their lower bodies—their pants gradually soaked with urine…
Leng Wei sheathed her blade, her tone calm as she said, "If you two don't want to end up like her, clean this up and then get lost."
As if she were just talking about a trivial matter.
No matter how gentle, obedient, and docile she appeared in front of Lin Lang.
Don't forget.
At her core.
She was always a cold-bloo
ded Shadow Assassin! A killer without hesitation.
After speaking.
She ignored the two women, who were nearly scared out of their wits.
And walked out the door with her blade in hand.
Seeing Lu Xiaoxing still diligently mopping the floor at the entrance.
Leng Wei crouched down and said:
"Xiaoxing, sister has some work that needs your help too. Are you willing to help me?"
