Chapter 140 Farewell
High-rise buildings stand behind you, and the surroundings at this moment are mostly overpasses and low factories.
This is already the suburban area of Paloser.
Three miles ahead is the entry inspection channel between Wasteland and Paloser, where heavily armed border guards and sentry towers are stationed, and checkpoints are set up.
Outsiders who want to enter Palowe need to conduct an asset audit in advance. If they do not meet certain standards, a temporary residence permit will not be issued and they will be turned away.
Of course, there are never a few refugees who choose to smuggle in at night, and border guards, companies and governments also turn a blind eye to this - the former can wait for opportunities to earn "tolls", while the latter needs such cheap labor .
The absence of a temporary residence permit means that they are not regarded as real citizens of Paloser and cannot enjoy full legal human rights. You can only find someone to apply for a fake identity, or you simply don't have the money to apply for a fake identity, so you can only work in various factories and other places to act as a black labor force that consumes human resources.
Of course, the people who hire them will not provide high remuneration, and they will never sign a paper contract - it is illegal to hire illegal workers! This kind of leverage cannot be left to the government's labor arbitration department.
Extremely low employment costs, and no responsibility for accidents. At the same time, as desperate "black households", these people must work as hard as possible, otherwise they will be deported at any time without signing a labor contract. Kick them out - there are people who want to take their jobs.
The few comforts they have are that they have clean water and food while living in Palowe, and they don’t have to worry about sudden natural disasters. They can also use public Wi-Fi to surf the Internet from time to time. After all, they But there is no money to pay for various Internet tariff packages and services.
Of course, using this kind of public Wi-Fi, which is linked to so many strange things, basically means that your prosthetic eyes will be filled with all kinds of low-quality advertisements and pop-ups in the next few weeks.
The only hope, or dream, of these black households is to one day earn enough money, pass the joint asset audit of the city government and the company, and pay off the extra management fees that the government has paid as a "black household" over the years. After paying the expenses, I became a real Paloser with registered residence, and finally qualified to take root in this city.
Just qualified.
“Is there still a farewell?”
Under the turbid sky, leaning on the vehicle next to him, Song Shi smiled and raised his eyebrows.
Under the elbow he was leaning on was a medium-sized hybrid motorcycle. The aerodynamic body showed a unique streamline, and the close-fitting lightweight armor plates did not change this.
On the side of the back seat of the motorcycle, two small metal storage boxes were hung, which contained some emergency maintenance tools, bags of pure water and energy bars, as well as a small amount of bullets and other supplies.
"Harold and the others are very busy, so only Flashing Star and I are here."
Qingmu said, taking out a camera from his arms, the camera flashed and The camera was focused on Song Shi.
"Dianxing also has something to do, but she said she still wanted to give it away, so she asked me to bring this over."
The next moment, a familiar voice came from the speaker below the lens: "The camera is fine, and then hello, can you hear me?"
"This thing is making a video call with you directly. , what’s the difference?”
“A sense of ceremony!” Flashing Star said forcefully: “With this, it means I am present!”
Song Shi nodded: “That’s okay. .You reminded me that I really need to ask you for a favor.”
“What favor?”
"Those entertainment platforms under the Dust Contract Generation, such as Valhalla Live, Heavenly Video, Golden Headlines, etc., you all helped me get a pirated membership account. I download some offline entertainment and pass the time in the wasteland, otherwise it will be too boring. ”
“.Huh? ”
Dianxing’s voice sounded a little confused: “Don’t you have money? Why don’t you just open a membership?”
"The membership levels and rules of these platforms are too complicated, and I don't want to spend the energy to figure them out one by one. Of course, this is not the key."
Song Shi raised a finger and said seriously: "——Now I Every penny I pay to the company will become a bullet fired at me in the future.”
Hearing this, Shanxing was silent for a while, and after a long time, he said speechlessly: "Okay, it's all done. I'll package it and send it to your mailbox. You can read it slowly on your own."
Seven The Earth War turned 40% of the world into a lifeless "wasteland", and the establishment of domain firewalls divided the World Wide Web, which originally spread all over the world, into the "Abyss" and the "Upper Network".
The former need not be mentioned again, while the latter has evolved into one semi-isolated large network domain after another based on actual gathering points-usually cities.
If you cannot pay the high inter-regional roaming charges, most of the network services and information circulation you can enjoy are limited to the network domain of your city. Of course, there are also a few companies that do not hesitate to take the initiative to bear this part of the "cross-regional roaming charges" for users in order to promote and occupy the market.
Just like the launch of the giant enterprise [Dust Contract Generation], [Wind News] is the most popular and popular personal social platform that has almost reached a monopoly.
Because of this, although the technological development in the world is changing with each passing day, in the field of the Internet, at least in terms of "freedom" and "circulation", there has been a certain degree of regression - this is also the case on the Internet. A reason why the title is popular.
——"We are all prisoners in the LAN".
In the wasteland outside the city, depending on the remoteness of the location, topography, radiation, climate and other influences, network fluctuations will occur to varying degrees, or the signal will disappear directly. All in all, don’t think about it being as smooth as in the city.
"Song Shi, I have put the sniper rifle you want in the trunk."
After Flashing Star finished speaking, Quemu then spoke: "You require accuracy and range, so I chose this 'Tusk'. It has excellent accuracy. The theoretical limit range is four thousand meters. The disadvantage is that it kills The performance is not high, and the barrels will wear out quickly and need to be replaced frequently. However, I have put three barrels for you, which should be enough for a while."
"I have debugged the basics. , but you have to study the more details yourself. Everyone’s habits are different, and the parameters I’m used to may not be suitable for you.”
“That’s enough.” Song Shi nodded and said with a smile. There is 'fire' that can be filled into the bullet, so the lethality doesn't matter."
As if he guessed what the other party wanted to ask, Song Shi said simply: "In terms of kinetic energy and penetration, it still can't compare with your perfect gun. The unfolding 'huge war'."
"In the second ring, the 'fire' cannot be absolutely condensed into one point. After the filled bullet is fired, it is bound to expand to a certain extent - you can understand it as a round. A range of high-explosive shells, but I have Boiling Blood and Ember, and the follow-up damage of this bullet will last for a long time."
Quemu thought for a moment: "We are applicable to different scenarios?"
"I can't say that. But just understand it this way, that's fine." Song Shi pointed at the other person's eyes and said seriously: " Quemu, I think you have the talent to advance to the second level. I hope that next time we meet, you will already be the second level [Truth]."
Quemu nodded.
“—OK.”
Song Shi got into the car, turned the accelerator, and the engine, specially modulated and enhanced by Tabitha, began to roar.
"That's almost it. Everyone, let's see you next time -"
"Aren't you going to say something on this occasion?" Flashing Star couldn't help but said.
“No need!”
Song Shi laughed loudly and rushed out in an instant, his voice disappearing with the wind: “It’s not like we say goodbye forever! If you die later, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet again in the future! ”
“Ha, die later?”
Flashing Star was amused, and her camera turned around, looking at the silhouette gradually disappearing at the end of the road.
After a while, she said: "Queye. I feel like we have met an incredible person."
"Which ordinary person can be in the second ring? "What about defeating Gaboy?" Quemu asked, and he paused for a while: "I believe that Song Chi will definitely do great things in the future. We met him when he was not really in his prime, and we didn't even have any enemies. The relationship is not bad, that's enough."
"That makes sense," Flashing Star commented, "I think my position as a 'strategic analyst' should be left to you."
"Uh"
Flashing Star laughed, and then his tone became serious again: "Let's go, we still have things to do. Harold has encountered a lot of troubles these days."
"Yeah."
So, in the wind, the place became empty again.
