Chapter 7 Entering the dangerous zone to work for the first time (1)
She dreamed of leaving home and renting a house outside to live independently, but she didn’t have the skills to find a job, so the fastest way to make money was to work Garbage hauler, piece rate work, more work, more reward.
The Awakened ones pull out the packed garbage from the danger zone, and ordinary people wearing protective suits take over and transport it to the garbage trucks, earning money for each bag they pull.
Persevere until you get your diploma and understand the basic rules of the dangerous zone, and then you can rent an independent house outside the city on the grounds that traveling back and forth in and out of the city is too time-consuming.
At that time, the sky was high and the sea was wide enough for her to wander.
Her parents were silent. The danger zone was dangerous, but it naturally had some advantages as it could become a profession that provided social security.
Daily settlement of wages is one of them. This is a very important point for people who are short of money.
"But the dangerous area outside the city is too dangerous. Changes in animals and plants may appear at any time. We ordinary people cannot deal with them." Her mother was still worried.
"Then what should we do? Doesn't it mean that the family's income has decreased? Competition for normal jobs is fierce. There are so many people who can't find a job in a few months and have to go to make money outside the city. I don't have any outstanding skills. , why did you squeeze out other competitors? Was it easy for you to find a job back then? "
"My mother and I both got junior certificates in electrician and accountant," her father said. proud.
"Yes, you have a certificate, but I don't, and I have finished receiving state subsidies. How about you support me for another two years and let me go to a technical training class in a college and get a vocational certificate?"
My parents don't Speaking of which, this vocational training is completely self-funded. If you study for two more years and live at home, tuition and living expenses are not small expenses.
“We can study and take exams because we saved our own money, so your mother and I got married late and gave birth to you late. You are so old, and we parents are over forty.”
< br>"So I went to make money."
Ye Nai was emotionally stable, neither noisy nor fussy, just chatting. She knew very well that her parents' objections were just talk.
"Okay, you have grown up and have your own ideas. Your parents can't control you anymore. Just do whatever you want."
In the end, her dad nodded.
It's like following a process, knowing that this is the inevitable result, but insisting on doing it all over again to show parental authority. As a daughter, Ye Nai can only cooperate with the performance.
"When you make money, pay one-third to your family for food, and save the rest to save your own dowry. You still have two brothers and a sister, so your family can't help you much."
“Okay.”
Ye Nai nodded slightly, feeling happy.
She knows her parents very well. She has four children at home, and the subsidy she received almost covers the whole family’s expenses. After getting used to the state subsidies for raising children for 18 years, she is really willing to spend her own salary to raise children. But for the time being, A child who fails to become independent?
Look, she won the bet.
It’s okay to pay for meals. She leaves early and comes home late, so she might not get a few meals at home. This is another good reason to leave home.
After lunch, Ye Nai exchanged mobile phone numbers with her parents, and then they went to rest. She did housework, cleaned the house and did daily exercises in the living room. In the afternoon, I received a call from the class teacher. The students who signed up to join the garbage removal team will gather at the shuttle bus station out of the city at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The more I want to go to bed early at night, the more I can't sleep. The house is so noisy that the lights don't turn off until 11 o'clock.
The alarm clock woke up Ye Nai at 5:30 in the morning. She finished washing, steamed steamed buns for the whole family, took two of them to eat while walking, and arrived at the bus stop specifically for dangerous areas before 7 o'clock.
The classmates also arrived one after another at this time. In addition to the six students in Ye Nai's class who were definitely going to college, many others were there, gathering in small groups to chat lively.
Not long after, there were more and more people. Looking at the school uniforms some people were wearing, it was not only the seniors from our school, but also the seniors from two other high schools.
The station was overcrowded for a while.
The staff at the shuttle bus station held a loudspeaker and called each school and class to gather their own teams. Whoever forms a team first gets on the bus first and sets off first. The fare is free.
One car per class, wandering out of the city.
There are seven danger zones outside the city from near to far. The farthest danger zones 5, 6, and 7 take a long time to travel even by car. Next to them is the plane passage, with a huge black vortex standing in the sky and earth. You can see them all over the city, and you can feel a heavy sense of oppression just by looking at them.
The unknown material transmitted from the plane channel promoted the changes of Blue Star. First, the native animals and plants mutated. Eight years later, awakened people were finally born among humans. They can fight with the enemy without relying on thermal weapons. Back.
It is unclear what is happening in other countries, but in the Big Flower Country, after years of hard work, the military and civilians finally drove the enemies who set foot on the country back to the plane passage, thus forming a stalemate. The enemies could not get out, and the country could not find a position to completely close it. Through the method of facing the passage, the alien beasts, plants, mutated animals and plants that are raging everywhere have become the biggest threat that the people deal with every day after the enemy.
Their students went to Danger Zone No. 1, which is an hour outside the city. The shuttle bus stopped at the outer safety zone.
The so-called safe zone is a long street.
The street is the station of Line 1, and at the end of the street is the three-layer power grid gate to enter the No. 1 danger zone.
With the center of the street as the boundary, the street side is a lively living area, with basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. At the end of the street, there are layers of security checks, for fear that someone will cause death and bring messy things from inside to contaminate it. public.
This is also the safest dangerous area around Dongling City. After years of cleaning up, the remaining garbage will be cleaned up in another three to five years. There are not many casual people coming to work, and it is mainly composed of local snakes who have become powerful. Allocate a location as a contract area and recruit people by yourself.
However, the government allocates a special space for high school senior students in each school every year, and the garbage sent out is only for students to clear and transport. The time is two months from the collective awakening test at the end of April to the official graduation at the end of June. .
The main purpose is to teach unawakened students how to work and make money in dangerous zones. If awakened students want to experience life, they can also be taken into the real dangerous zone.
Although the students come in and out together, in order to facilitate management and receive wages, everyone must use their ID card to apply for a pass to the No. 1 danger zone in the prefabricated house at the end of the street before they can enter. Enter the walls composed of layers of power grids.
Standing in front of the third-level power grid, there is a special sign that leads students to another path, separate from the route of local snakes.
Follow the signs and put on protective equipment in a long row of prefabricated houses, including a protective suit that covers your hair, gloves, shoe covers, respirators, and goggles. After putting them on, no matter how familiar the students are, they will not be able to recognize each other. Who is.
The passes they obtained earlier came in handy at this time. The staff wrote the numbers on their passes on their backs and looked at the two mirrors set up opposite each other in the board room to check whether they were written correctly.
