Chapter 568 Points City
After Zhang Yi and other forces from twelve cities arrived here, they were led by service personnel and went to the areas temporarily reserved for them to live in.
Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity.
Zhang Yi asked the female waiter: "Girl, what are the ordinary people here doing? Why can't I see anyone?"
The waitress heard this and answered Zhang Yi with a smile, but the smile on her face was a bit too professional and without any emotion, as if a smile mask was placed on her face.
"They're all working."
While leading the way, she said slowly: "In Blizzard City, everyone is assigned jobs according to their talents."
"To keep this city running, we need people working 24 hours a day."
"So most ordinary people work more than 14 hours a day."
"That is to say, except for rest and meal time, other time needs to be devoted to work."
"Of course, this is only for grassroots workers. For those rare technical talents engaged in special positions, they can enjoy a generous living standard."
"People with more outstanding abilities can enjoy better living conditions."
"But most people are just ordinary workers, so they spend most of their time working."
Upon hearing the service staff's introduction, Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with amusement.
"So, what about the elderly and children who are unable to work? What should they do?"
Lu Keran interrupted: "They should be given special care, right? After all, the physical conditions of the elderly and children are different from those of young adults."
The smile on the lips of the waitress leading the way became thicker, but there was a hint of bleakness in her smile.
"That's not the case! Whether they are the elderly or children, unless their families can provide enough contributions to make up for their share of the vacancy. Otherwise, they are not qualified to live in Blizzard City."
"what?"
Lu Keran's face was full of shock and he couldn't help but said: "This is too cruel!"
"This is just a very simple rule of survival in the apocalypse."
Zhang Yi said to her calmly: "There is no need to make a fuss. Even though the Jiangnan Region headquarters has a lot of supplies, in the end of the world, they must strictly control the number of residents."
"Since they can only take care of the life and death of some people, they must leave their spots to more valuable people. This is very reasonable."
Lu Keran sighed softly, "I understand the truth. But doesn't the social status of human civilization still exist here? I thought it would be different from Tianhai City. At least... I can take good care of the children!"
Zhou Keer and Liang Yue both had expressions of unbearable sadness on their faces.
Indeed, at the very least, they believe that children should be protected.
Because children are the future.
If the children are kicked out of Blizzard City because they cannot provide enough labor value, what will happen in the future?
The waitress said disapprovingly: "This problem is not a problem at all."
"Wouldn't it be better to just let those couples who have the ability to provide more value have more children?"
"We in Blizzard City have fertility indicators! When necessary, having children is also a task that must be completed in the apocalypse."
Lu Keran opened his mouth, unable to imagine that such a law would be implemented here.
Only Zhang Yi was not surprised at all.
The group of people came outside and there was already a bus waiting for them.
Everyone got in the car. Xiao Honglian and others were very cautious and did not dare to talk much on the road.
Because they know that everyone in Blizzard City may report their words and deeds.
If you accidentally say something wrong, you may get yourself into trouble.
Zhang Yi had also warned them about this before they set off.
After getting in the car, their respective communication devices received Blizzard City's management regulations.
Zhang Yi quickly browsed through it and found that there were many laws and regulations, more than a hundred of them.
It can be seen that this was improvised after the end of the world, but there are strict regulations in all aspects of life.
Among the regulations, there are more than a dozen items highlighted in red, which are special reminders for outsiders like Zhang Yi.
For example, Blizzard City implements a curfew after twelve o'clock, and no one is allowed to appear on the street - except with special approval from Blizzard City's top management.
For example, fighting is prohibited in Blizzard City, and violators will be severely punished.
The specific punishment is not stated clearly, it probably depends on the situation, but I think the punishment will not be light.
Because at this time, internal struggle is something that the top management should try their best to avoid.
Zhang Yizi read all the regulations carefully.
Fortunately, most of them don't have many restrictions on outsiders like him.
As long as he stays there and waits for the conference to end, that will be all.
However, Zhang Yi still felt very depressed about the management regulations for residents in the city.
He raised his head and glanced at the waitress who always had a fake smile on her face, and he began to understand why she always gave people a cold feeling.
In this place, the primary purpose is survival, not life.
After being accustomed to a free society for decades, they suddenly live in a city with such strict management. It is inevitable that they will lose part of their humanity, especially the part about freedom and happiness.
Zhang Yi read through the regulations and looked at the time. It was now around 7 p.m.
Curfew is still more than four hours away.
Zhang Yi asked: "Miss Waiter, if I go out now, it should be okay to return to my residence before 12 o'clock, right?"
The waitress frowned visibly.
She politely replied: "I suggest you try to avoid this kind of behavior. Because there are patrols patrolling the whole city. Your presence on the streets at night may cause unnecessary trouble."
I feel like I'm in enough trouble right now.
Zhang Yi thought.
Of course he couldn't stay at the residence all night.
It was easy to get here, he wanted to find Evergreen.
If two people chat face to face, they can gather more information about Blizzard City.
At least for the sake of the secret between the two of them, he could give him some guidance so that he wouldn't cause any trouble in the meeting tomorrow.
Being able to obtain one more piece of information would allow Zhang Yi to make fewer mistakes than others.
This is very critical.
He did not continue speaking.
This female service staff is only a grassroots worker, and her status in Blizzard City seems to be at the lowest level.
Later, he contacted Baili Changqing directly.
Baili Changqing is the investigation captain, and his level should be very high in Blizzard City.
