I pick up trash at the end of the day

"Stop and show your pass."

Yu Ge stopped his modified pickup truck, rolled down the black window and made a 'creaking' sound, and smirked at the little brother guarding the door.

"it's me."

"Yo, isn't this Yu Ge? It's been a long time since I went out this time. I thought you wouldn't be able to come back."

"That's possible. I grew up among the dead, and my life is tough."

As Yu Ge said, he took out a pack of unopened military rations from the co-pilot's backpack and threw it out: "Hide it carefully, this is specially reserved for you."

"Thanks, buddy."

The little brother guarding the gate cherished the military rations in his pocket, and then opened the city gate.

This city is one of the few closed fortresses where humans can live.A tall wall was built around the fortress, about four or five stories high.The wall is not a complete circle, and one side is built against the mountain, using the natural peak as a barrier.This not only saves resources, but also can take advantage of the natural advantages to observe the surrounding movements, and it is also the base for the sentinels to station.

Yu Ge drove his pickup truck through the fortress, and what he saw was nothing more than a refugee camp protected by tall walls.

In the streets and alleys at dusk, in the corners of the walls or beside the trash cans, there are temporary shelters made of simple shredded paper shells, covered with iron sheets that are almost half the size, which is a very good shelter.

The clothes on the people were all in tatters, missing trouser legs or sleeves, and a patch or two didn't matter.I dare not hang the clean clothes outside. One second before hanging them out, there may be only a lonely rope left in the next second. Maybe even the clothes drying rope will disappear together, let alone three meals a day. Can have a meal on time.

After wandering for more than ten minutes on the street facing only the sunset, Yu Ge finally saw a four-story building that seemed to be not bad.He parked the car in the alley behind the house, got out of the car, opened the rusty rolling gate, backed the car into the garage, shook the clothes on his body when getting out of the car, closed the rolling gate, and briefly checked the baby After checking the condition of the car, he put on his backpack and opened the wooden door, and came to a tavern.

There are only a few scattered tables in this tavern, which are placed unevenly, and the tabletops are covered with patches of finely broken wood boards, and none of them are untouched.The chairs were either fixed with rags or iron wires, and the sponge on the chair surface was dug away by someone, leaving only the polished and shiny skeleton.

Behind the bar, there are a few empty wine bottles scattered in the old window, and the dust stays quietly in every corner, and a thick layer is formed with a light sweep.

Those who come here for the first time will not think that this is a tavern, but a dangerous building that has not yet collapsed due to a trace of luck in the abandoned place. The homeless people who can be seen everywhere dare not open the door easily, for fear of making more noise He was buried alive.

Yu Ge threw his backpack on the counter, and casually pulled a rotten chair beside him and sat on it.

"Bring me a glass of water."

"Yo, Yu Ge is back," a fat man with a big belly looked at Yu Ge with a smile, turned on the faucet and poured a glass of water in front of him, "Did you bring something good this time?"

"It's not a good thing, but at least it's worth two bucks."

Yu Ge looked at the broken glass that the fat man got from somewhere, the water in the glass was still cloudy and turned yellow.

"Can't you leave the faucet on for two more seconds? If you insist on adding these useless iron filings to my water, do you think I'm malnourished?"

"Be content, it's good to have saliva to drink."

Behind the bar, an old man was lying on a dilapidated sofa.The sponge cushions on the sofa are sunken, and the sponge inside is exposed along the holes in the corners. One armrest of the sofa has completely fallen off, leaving only blackened wood alone, and the condition on the other side is no better. How many.Still, it's the only chair in sight that's the most comfortable to sit on.

"Don't be too stingy, you are a rich and unkind guy."

"Being unkind to your father?"

The old man got up from the sofa, stretched his limbs as far as possible, took off his old-fashioned gentleman hat, and looked at Yu Ge with a tired and tired smile.

"I'm sorry, I don't have such a cute white-eyed wolf son like you. Don't use this word to describe me. I'm still very kind."

"Old Hawk, shameless."

"Hehe, Xiao Yuge, let's be each other."

Yu Ge rolled his eyes at Hawke, and waited until the iron filings in the cup finally sank a bit before taking a sip. The fat man next to him came out of the bar and leaned against the edge to snigger.

"Everything is in the car, go and have a look."

"understood."

Hawke winked at Fatty, and Fatty immediately pushed the door out, and returned to the tavern with a heavy machine gun in his arms.

"Boy, you can get all these things."

"So-so," Yu Ge glanced at Hawke's expression, stretched out his knuckles and tapped on the bar counter, "The goods have arrived, money?"

Hawk hooked the corner of his mouth, took out a rag bag from under the bar and threw it on the table. With a bang, the whole bar trembled.

Yu Ge picked up his pocket and turned it upside down, then took a look inside: "Why is it so small?

"It's already quite a lot," Hawke leaned against the bar, as if he had no bones, "You only bring back a gun but no bullets, just like you brought back a pot but no rice, and a pack of cigarettes but no bullets." I didn’t bring matches, but I brought back a woman and found out that it was a human demon, so it was useless.”

Yu Ge snorted coldly: "If I really bring back a ladyboy, will you not?"

"Hehe, I didn't know my son's taste is so strong."

"Fuck you!" Yu Ge was so angry that he punched the bar counter, "Are you still short of bullets?"

"Why not?"

Hawk was not angry, he took out a tin box slowly, opened it, took out a cigar from inside, cut the opening and lit it slowly, and took a puff: "Now this environment lacks everything, not to mention food and ammunition, even A drop of water and a bit of air are precious resources, you forgot... I taught you this?"

"Tch," Yu Ge gave up, and said in a muffled voice, "Listening to the preaching of a profiteer like you, it's better to catch a zombie and come back and listen to his roar."

"If you really have this ability, we don't need to stay in the fortress to be protected by those black dogs."

"Yu Ge is back!"

Suddenly someone shouted from upstairs, followed by a series of cheerful footsteps of 'thump, thump', shaking the entire roof, and the dust on the ceiling fell all over the floor.

Yu Ge looked at the remaining ash floating on the water that had finally settled down, and he couldn't help but smash the broken glass.

"Yu Ge, I miss you so much!"

A short-haired boy with blond hair ran down from the second floor. He happily threw himself on Yu Ge's body, putting his entire weight on his shoulders.

"Why have you been away for so long? I thought you wouldn't come back."

"Don't worry, little Ethan," Hawke looked at the two of them, puffing out smoke rings leisurely, "Even if the other person can't come back, the corpse will turn into a zombie and come back to find you."

"Ah? Really?" Ethan looked at Yu Ge happily and asked with bright eyes.

"It's true," Yu Ge put away the bag with a sullen face, ready to leave, "become a zombie, and then come back and bite each of you one by one, don't even think about running away!"

"Don't run, don't run, we will never run," Ethan smiled innocently, leaning on Yu Ge's body, as if zombies are very cute things in his eyes, "A family needs to be neat and tidy."

"Who is with your family?" Yu Ge grabbed Ethan's wrist and looked back at him coldly, "What are you doing?"

"No reason, let me touch and see if you've lost weight?"

"Then what is this?"

Yu Ge held his hand, and dug out a silver coin from his palm.

"Eh? Strange? What is this? It's amazing! I don't even know how it got into my hands."

"Stop doing this with me," Yu Ge snatched back the silver coin and put it in his pocket: "You really expect to live a lifetime with this little trick?"

"Then what else can I do?" Ethan put his hands on the back of his head with a sullen face, "It's just a meal."

The fat man patted his slightly thin shoulder: "Have you ever paid for your meals? It's rare for you to take turns eating and drinking on the three of us these years."

"Don't say that~~~"

Ethan rubbed his shoulders, licked his face and smiled, not paying any attention to the three eyes that wanted to kill him.

"Didn't I also help you with a lot of work to pay off your debts? Look, I cleaned Papa Hawk's shop, Fatty's gun was cleaned by me, and Yu Ge's car was also modified by me." Is it?"

"Pull it down," the fat man became furious when he heard this, "You helped me clean my gun last time, and you almost missed me with a shot. And this store, did you see that part of the cave collapsed? The wooden plank is the masterpiece you made, and Yu Ge's pickup truck, you almost dismantled the dump bucket behind him, how dare you call it modification? Just destroying it is more or less the same!"

"Hey hey, I'm embarrassed if you praise me like that again."

"You still feel embarrassed, your little face is almost thicker than the city wall."

"Hey, it hurts..."

Hawk pinched Ethan's face, finally smiled weakly, and sighed: "Okay, it's getting late, you two bastards go back and rest, you can eat later."

"What are you eating? What's delicious today?" Ethan asked happily while lying on the bar.

"What would you like to eat? Roast suckling pig or roast whole lamb?"

"It's fine," Ethan said drooling, "Actually, it doesn't need to be so troublesome, just roast a chicken."

"You eunuch yourself, and then bake it, all day long, you kid hasn't woken up yet," Hawke said loudly at Ethan's head, "Tonight, I'll eat boiled beans with black beans." Wheat bread, and if you're lucky you might find a cockroach leg or two in the bean soup."

"Ah~~~ Eat this again, I'm getting tired of eating, can't I get something fresh?"

"Aren't there cockroach legs in there?" Yu Ge couldn't help laughing, "You're tired of eating cockroach legs, too."

Hawk looked at Ethan, who was languishing on the bar, and thought for a while: "Okay, I'll look for it."

"What are you looking for, grilled chicken?" Ethan's eyes suddenly regained their light.

"There's no roast chicken. If you really want to eat it... I'll get you two roasted mosquitoes tonight."

"Ah~~~"

Ethan sighed, and his whole body languished on the bar counter.

"Oh, right."

Hawke turned and went into the kitchen, suddenly stopped and snapped his fingers at the three of them: "Today's dinner fee is one silver coin per person."

"A silver coin?! How dare you speak!"

The fat man said so, but obediently took out a silver coin from his pocket and flicked it to Hawke.

Ethan has no money, he blinked his eyes, and shot cute rays at the three of them pitifully!

Hawke and Fatty avoided his harmless, but actually more shameless eyes than animals earlier. Yu Ge stayed outside for a few days, forgetting that he had been hit by misfortune, and could only endure the blow to death. On his own impulse, he took out two silver coins from his small pocket and threw them to Hawke.

"It's my bad luck that you missed this meal tonight."

Ethan laughed happily, and kept shaking Yu Ge's arms: "Don't say that, we are good brothers."

"Tch, thanks, good brother."

"Oh, by the way, just to remind you," Hawke interrupted, "What date is it today?"

"What date?" The fat man rubbed his head, "Today is the 19th, what's the matter?"

"Number 19!" Just as he finished speaking, Ethan slammed the bar counter, "Fuck! You can take a hot shower today! Yu Ge, don't fight me..."

When Ethan turned his head, Yu Ge had long since disappeared.

"Damn it! He took the lead again!"

"Zizu, plastic brotherhood~~~"
