Chapter 34: Joining the Company

"What do I need to do?" Ye Lan asked rationally.

There is no free lunch in the sky, Yelan still understands this truth. If you take this benefit yourself, you will definitely have to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

This is not a wealthy town, and the sum of these expenditures is not a small sum. When people take this money, they will definitely gain something from you.

Yelan's question also made Arthur feel at ease... At least it sounds like this guy is indeed ready to do something, right?

"Normally, there is nothing wrong. In theory, you just need to patrol the town all day during the day. But considering that you have your own arrangements, I can handle it by myself for so many years. I can let you patrol for three hours a day... Of course, it’s up to me to arrange which of these three hours it is.”

Ye Lan nodded, not questioning the clause, but seemed to have some understanding.

Arthur is a bit busy and needs some time to do personal things.

As for what this private matter is... I don't know if it is related to the current secrets of Sewage Town.

Ye Lan didn't feel that the three hours of patrol time was a lot at all, and even felt that it was a bit short.

This is an opportunity for me to investigate and understand this town openly! I can go to various places without arousing any suspicion!

"no problem."

Seeing Ye Lan's decisiveness in agreeing, Arthur nodded.

"Then it's nothing. If there is a major change or crisis in the town, and if there are 'outsiders' making trouble, you need to assemble quickly and join me to go to the scene to solve the problem."

‘Outsiders are making trouble’…

Who is causing trouble, the Sunset God Sect?

Yelan nodded calmly, seeming to have more understanding.

Outsiders make Arthur uneasy, and does he, the person who seems to have the least intention of the town, become the one he needs to borrow help from?

It's really...dare...

"I have no problem."

As long as you are not a 'villain', I can help you.

After all, I had done this once many years ago.

The only thing I still have to be sure of is...

"Commission, if I join the town guard, can I still accept it?"

Arthur was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Lan, unable to hide his weirdness.

No... Such a high salary is not enough for you?

"It's business as usual, even a little more convenient."

More convenient?

Yelan chewed on these words, not hiding the confusion in her expression.

"Yes. Because ordinary commissions are mainly for the citizens of our Sewerage Town. As you can see, Sewerage Town is relatively exclusive. If you accept such a commission, you are likely to encounter everyone's lack of cooperation. But as the town guard, It’s much easier to deal with your identity.”

Ye Lan suddenly realized that this was indeed a great convenience.

When everything was settled, Arthur had done all he could and sighed.

"Then come with me, collect your equipment, and complete your induction."

Yelan was confident and followed Arthur into the town guard's hall.

The layout of the hall finally has a pre-apocalyptic style, giving it the feel of a key location. After passing through several rooms, I came to a place that looked like an office.

"This is our office area. The information is next door. If necessary, you can access it directly... Of course, the higher confidentiality level is insured and you can't see it. If it is really related to the safety of the town, you can Apply with me.”

Yelan nodded, as it should be. If the whole town's information was really open to an outsider like me, I would really suspect that there was some conspiracy here.

But looking at this huge office, with more than a dozen individual desks, Ye Lan suddenly understood something was wrong.

"The town guard...how many people are there now?"

Arthur glanced at Ye Lan, hesitated to speak, and finally spoke honestly.

"Just you and me."

Yelan:? ?

Is this what you call ‘not enough manpower’? There is absolutely no one available for this!

No...this is the end of the world! In such a big town, you are the only one in the town guard. How did you survive?

Or...how strong are you?

For a moment, Ye Lan thought a lot, but Arthur also shook his head gently.

"The town defense team and the town guard are not affiliated with the same system. The town's external defense force has other departments. Our town guard is responsible for the internal security of the town."

After saying that, Arthur also gave a soft smile.

"As you can see, no outsiders have come here in decades..."

Ye Lan was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Yes... there are so many outsiders in the situation. I'm afraid even the dullest person can feel that something is going to happen here...

Feeling depressed for a while, Arthur continued to take Ye Lan away and opened the other doors unwillingly.

Looking along the line of sight, Ye Lan saw a utility room-like place inside.

"Windbreaker, lining, electric baton, hook gun, flashlight, leather gloves, leather boots... If you want a hat, I can find it for you. Of course, I don't have this one on my head. It's mine."

Ye Lan was speechless for a while after hearing this... Your western cowboy hat is very unconventional, okay? If I wear it, it's basically equivalent to changing my clothes for nothing, and the rate of return will increase instead of decreasing.

As for this set of equipment, it is also very useful. Anyway, it is indeed decent, and it feels like the combat effectiveness has increased linearly.

"The clothes were washed a long time ago. No one has worn them for so many years, but it's hard to say whether they have been dampened over the years. If you are in a hurry, just wear the windbreaker and wash the lining yourself after you return to the room."

Ye Lan nodded, it was indeed convenient. It's not clear whether she should wear the inner lining or not, but the length of this windbreaker can almost touch her knees, completely covering up her original gorgeous suit.

The clothing problem has actually been solved at this moment.

"Although Sewage Town is not big, our jurisdiction is still quite large. In the event of an emergency, the time it takes to get to the scene is also a problem. Do you want a transportation tool?"

Damn it, I want it!

Yelan could hardly describe her mood. She gave him a pillow when she felt sleepy!

Didn't you just say you wanted a transportation tool when you came here?

"Have a car?" Ye Lan was already shocked by the employment benefits of Sewage Town, and her voice was full of expectation.

To repay someone with kindness... If you are like this, I will really try my best to protect you from the sewage this time, okay?

"There is no car." Arthur smiled bitterly.

"After the end of the world, there will be very little oil in the wasteland. Cars consume too much fuel and we can no longer afford to use it, but..."

At this moment, Arthur had already led Ye Lan to the basement.

"Motorcycles are still available."

Arthur raised his hand and lifted the car cover in front of him, revealing a body that looked well maintained despite the years.

One, a motorcycle.

A motorcycle that I have ridden on before.
