Pick up garbage in another world and bring it back to build infrastructure in the end times

The light in Haicheng was as bright as the day before the end of the world.

The city streets were neat and clean, with small vendors setting up their stalls on both sides of the road and shouting as if the disaster had never happened.

The people who came with Han Song and Zhou Changyi stood in Haicheng, feeling extremely surprised.

"This, this, why is it so bright?"

"Why does it feel like daytime?"

Some people have not seen strong light for a long time and can only cover their eyes and feel the light through their fingers.

"Wow, there's food for sale over there!"

"It's wonton, wonton!"

A young boy spotted Uncle Gao’s wonton stall and ran over directly.

"Uncle, are you selling these wontons?"

Uncle Gao looked at the boy in front of him, who was only about ten years old, and said with a kind smile: "Sell it. You can get a big bowl for just one crystal core. Want a bowl?"

"Come, have a bowl!"

The young boy took out a crystal core from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Gao, then watched him eagerly as he made wontons: "Uncle, can you give me some more soup?"

He hadn't had water for a long time. Water was hard to come by in the base, with only a little bit available every day. He didn't dare drink too much and had to save it all. Now, seeing so much soup, his mouth was watering!

"Okay, uncle will give you some more soup, kid. There's a water seller next door. It's also a crystal core. If you're thirsty, you can go buy some."

"You still have water for sale?"

The young boy Mu Bai looked around, his brows furrowed tighter as he looked: "Uncle, I didn't see it?"

Uncle Gao looked towards the place where they said they sold water, but found it empty. He was very confused: "Hey, didn't they say they sold water?"

Seeing Mu Bai's lost look, Uncle Gao comforted him: "Maybe a little later, but I will come to sell it. It's at the stall next to me."

"oh oh!"

Mu Bai looked very obedient standing next to Uncle Gao and asked, "Uncle, why is it so bright here? It's like we've returned to the days before the end of the world."

Uncle Gao patiently explained to him, "The reason our Haicheng is so bright is because there's something like a night-shining pearl on the top. It goes out at night and lights up during the day. That's why we have day and night in Haicheng. Everyone sleeps at night, and the city gates are open for business during the day."

At this time, the people who were attracted by Uncle Gao's wontons heard his words and hurriedly asked: "Uncle, Haicheng opens the city gate every day, so do you sell things every day?"

"For sale, whether it's crystal cores or gold, silver, or jewelry, they can be used to buy things, and we'll take them all."

"You want gold, silver, and jewelry? What about money? You want money, too?"

Mu Bai looked at Uncle Gao anxiously, wanting to hear the answer he wanted from him.

But Uncle Gao said, "Money won't do. Gold, silver, jade, or even translucent pebbles will do. There's a detailed list posted at the city gate. You can go check it out when you have time. I don't know much."

"Okay, we'll go check it out later. Uncle, give me a bowl too!"

"And I'll have a bowl too!"

"Hey, take your time, everyone, please sit inside. There's room for people in the store."

Behind the stall was a small two-story shop. A large crowd of people walked in. Only Mu Bai was still squatting next to Uncle Gao. He approached Uncle Gao and asked quietly, "Uncle, can you tell me how to get to your base?"

"We currently have a building for rent at our base. It's the building on your left as you enter the city gate. However, the asking price seems quite high. You'll need to go there and ask."

"Hey, thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome. We're doing well in Haicheng. As long as we work hard, we won't have to worry about food and clothing."

Uncle Gao gave Mu Bai an extra reminder, and he nodded repeatedly: "I understand. Thank you, uncle. You are such a good person!"

"Our city lord is a good man. Come, child, this is yours."

"Yeah, then I'll eat first, uncle."

Mu Bai couldn't wait to start eating, and the others also took their wontons and ate them in big mouthfuls.

A figure of Grandma Yunxiang sat beneath the notice, and many strange cards were placed on the table. A girl in gray clothes and with a bare head approached and asked, "Excuse me, is what's said on this notice true?"

The girl seemed a little introverted and spoke in a low, halting voice.

Grandma Yunxiang looked at her with a smile, her voice gentle and kind: "It's true. As long as you can produce what's mentioned on the notice, you can exchange it for Haicheng's currency, and you can buy anything in Haicheng."

Zhu Ruizhen looked around anxiously, then took out a gold bracelet from his space and handed it to Grandma Yunxiang: "How much currency can this be exchanged for?"

Grandma Yunxiang took it, used the light brain to scan it, confirmed the content inside, picked up a white card from the table, activated it, and entered the number into it.

"Here are 100 coins. No matter which store you go to, just show them and pay."

Zhu Ruizhen took the card bewilderedly and asked blankly, "Then, what about your accommodation here?"

"Accommodation costs twenty crystal cores and one hundred Haicheng coins per month. This is the initial price, and it might be higher later. If you want to rent, since you're the first one, I can give you a discount. Just give me eighty coins."

Zhu Ruizhen said excitedly: "I, I, I want to, can, can you take me to see the house?"

"Of course, Yunya."

"Hey, Grandma, I'm here!"

Yun Ya, dressed in a spotless white dress, ran over from a short distance away. A light layer of sweat appeared on her pretty face, and there was still food on the corner of her mouth. Grandma Yun Xiang looked at her helplessly, "Wipe your mouth. It's not like I don't allow you to eat normally, so why are you sneaking in now?"

"Oh, there are too many things, it smells so good, grandma, what did you ask me to do~"

"Take this girl to the accommodation area. She's asked for a room for a month. Explain the rules to her."

Yun Ya glanced at Zhu Ruizhen, smiled with her eyes curved, and took her arm, not caring at all about her dirty clothes.

"My name is Yunya, what's your name~"

"I, I'll hand it over to Zhu Ruizhen."

"Zhenzhen? What a nice name."

"Thank you, thank you."

Zhu Ruizhen hadn't seen anyone with such clean eyes in the apocalypse for a long time, and was a little dazed for a moment.

Yun Ya: "Zhenzhen, let me tell you, there will be cold snaps at night in our Haicheng. It will snow very heavily, and the ice and snow will cover the entire city. You must remember this. After hearing the bell at night, you cannot leave the residential area. It is best to stay in your room, otherwise you will freeze to death."

"Cold attack?"

She had never seen a cold snap in the apocalypse, had she? She had never seen ice or snow either, so how could it only happen in Haicheng?

Yun Ya: "This is to prevent people from running around at night. Just remember not to run around after the bell rings at night."
