This is a city along the coast of the country. It is a frontier position for reform and opening up and was developed first. Every year, a large number of college students and migrant workers flock to this city to pursue their dreams here.

But reality is cruel. Only the few who can finally take root here are very lucky, and most of them will eventually return home in disgrace.

It is too difficult to survive and gain a foothold in such a city. I really don’t know how much passion is frozen by the appearance of prosperity.

Xiao Yuanchao, with empty hands, walked in a daze on the streets of the city, looking at the unfamiliar prosperity. He has been in the Special A unit since he was a child, and after he came out, he had almost never stopped training, which made him a little confused about what he should do at this time.

Although he has been in Lanzhou for several months, he is just running every day. For the city, he can only be regarded as a marginal person and a passerby. What he wants to do now is to survive in this city and survive in a normal way.

"Do you need to hire someone?" Xiao Yuanchao saw a recruitment sign posted in front of a cafe and walked in and asked.

"Oh, sorry, we only recruit waitresses." The people at the bar refused Xiao Yuanchao politely and indifferently.

Xiao Yuanchao nodded, walked out of the cafe and continued walking along the street.

"Boss, do you need to hire someone?"

This is a luxury hotel with a recruitment sign.

"Go to the Human Resources Department, bring your ID card and a copy of your ID card." The security guard glanced at Xiao Yuanchao in a camouflage uniform and said disdainfully.

The security guards were wearing suits and leather shoes, and their leather shoes were shining brightly. Xiao Yuanchao was wearing a slightly worn camouflage uniform and was wearing a pair of seriously worn land combat boots. If he was excited, anyone could tell that he was a soldier, but he was not in the excitement stage now.

Xiao Yuanchao, who was not in the excitement stage, naturally shrank his body and looked extremely down and out, no different from the migrant workers on the construction site.

Hearing that he needed an ID card and a copy of his ID card, Xiao Yuanchao immediately turned around, shrank his body, and left with a slight hunchback.

He does not have an ID card, and if he doesn't even have an ID card here, no employer will dare to use him. Such cities have strict control over migrant populations. If they find that such people do not have an ID card, they will need to provide a series of fine education to the employer.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yuanchao had nothing, his ID card, and money. It can be said that he was empty-handed and had nothing except the clothes he was wearing.

"Fengyue Place, Casino..." Xiao Yuanchao sat on the street, thinking about going to these two places first to try his luck.

In his impression, both places are involved in gangs, and maybe they don’t need an ID card.

There were also a group of idle people sitting next to him, some playing poker, and some chatting.

Xiao Yuanchao was thinking about his own affairs and did not notice the people around him, but he could feel many eyes falling on him. These eyes were not attacking, so he didn't want to pay attention.

A Mercedes-Benz 600 parked in front of Xiao Yuanchao, the car window rolled down, a fat cheek stuck out, and opened his mouth and said to him: "Hey, give me some work, two hundred yuan."

Xiao Yuanchao was stunned for a moment and nodded immediately. But as soon as he was about to get up, he was pulled back. The person who was still playing poker and chatted just now rushed up and surrounded the car window.

"Boss, what kind of work do? I can do water, electricity, bricklayers, let alone physical work."

"Boss, where are you going? You leave first, leave an address and I'll be there right away!"

“…”

The owner was a little impatient and casually called out, "Okay, it's all for you, Royal Plum Garden, Building 3, 203."

"Okay, thank you, boss, thank you!" He thanked me repeatedly after getting this job, and smiled and sent Mercedes away.

"Monkey, I can go happily again at night. Should I find Xiaohua or Xiaoli this time? Hahaha..."

The people next to him joked that they received the living, and then turned around and stared at Xiao Yuanchao after a quarrel.

"Boy, have I agreed to beg for food here?" A man pointed at Xiao Yuanchao's nose with a cruel look on his face and said, "Do you understand the rules?"

"What rules?" Xiao Yuanchao asked.

"Are you pretending to be stupid? Brother Niu has the final say in this human resources market, do you understand?" A young man next to him shouted at Xiao Yuanchao: "If you want to beg for food here, you have to follow the rules, the rules are..."

"What if I don't follow the rules?" Xiao Yuanchao asked staring at the young man.

"Grass! If you don't follow the rules, you still want to beg for food here?"

"Damn it, aren't you tired of living?"

“…”

A group of people rushed up and surrounded Xiao Yuanchao. The Niu brother hugged his arms and sneered, and raised his head to Xiao Yuanchao and said, "Brother, it's not easy to beg for food here. I have to settle the urban management and settle the local snake. All these have to be paid. You are a stranger who wants to come and grab food whenever you want? Haha!"

Xiao Yuanchao understood that this rule was to use his physical strength to make a living here, so he had to pay for the mountain first and pay.

"I have no money."

After saying this, Xiao Yuanchao opened the person in front of him and walked forward.

"Oh, I'm not too strong yet. Do you want to push me a little more?"

"Looking for a slap!"

"Okay!" Brother Niu shouted, "Everyone is gone, what's the point. My card, why is my card gone? I just got a good hand!"

“…”

The group of people continued to brag and play, just as they thought that Xiao Yuanchao had never been here. This is their territory, and it is not something that anyone could come to.

Xiao Yuanchao continued to walk forward, talking to himself as he walked: Is this the reality of survival?

Although he was asking himself, he was sure that this was a kind of real survival. In the eyes of many people, this kind of work is inequality, but even this kind of work has its own group protection. If you don’t worship the mountain, you can’t do it even if you want to!

"Robbery! Robbery!"

"Get out! Get out of the way, or you'll stab him to death!"

A woman's sharp voice came. When she heard this sound, Xiao Yuanchao's eyes subconsciously narrowed and looked into the direction where the sound came.

A young man was holding a beautiful women's bag, fucking an apple-sharpening knife, and running wildly towards this side.

There are many people on the street. When these people saw the robbers, no one chose to stop them, but hurriedly avoided them and gave way to the other party. In a short time, a flat road was spread out for the robbers and allowed them to escape smoothly.

The robbed was a beautiful young girl, dressed in fashionable clothes, shouting while chasing her high heels.

"Get out! Get out!" The robber roared at Xiao Yuanchao who was standing in front of him.

"call!"

"Bang!"

Xiao Yuanchao exuded his legs like lightning and kicked him in the other party's face.

The robber was hit hard, and his body jumped into the air under the influence of force, and then fell heavily to the ground and fell into a coma.

The girl chased after him and grabbed her bag. Without even looking at Xiao Yuanchao, she turned around and got into the crowd.

Why didn't she even say thank you?

Xiao Yuanchao was very surprised. This was the most basic thing, although he did not say thank you.

"Young man, go quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave." An older man kindly told Xiao Yuanchao, shook his head and turned away, and sighed: "Oh, the society now..."

At this moment, Xiao Yuanchao saw a thief reaching his hand into a passerby's bag, following the other party's steps, quietly opening the bag, preparing to steal.

There were many people who saw it, but no one issued a reminder.

The passerby seemed to feel something, turned his head and glanced at the thief, pulled his bag hard, and walked forward without saying a word.

Xiao Yuanchao was shocked, completely shocked. He couldn't figure out how indifferent people in this society were to this level. Where was the moral heart? Where was the public moral heart? Where was the spirit of bravery for justice?

The shocked Xiao Yuanchao showed a disappointed expression and sighed a long time ago.

A dozen young men in different clothes walked quickly from a corner of the street, staring at Xiao Yuanchao standing there.

This gaze was clearly felt by Xiao Yuanchao. He turned around and immediately knew that revenge was coming.

"I didn't let me use special skills and means, and I didn't say I didn't let me fight." Xiao Yuanchao said to himself, finding the best reason for himself.

With a "squeak", a Santana stopped beside Xiao Yuanchao, and a woman's anxious voice came from it: "Hurry up, get in the car!"

Seeing the owner, Xiao Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, opened the car door and went in.
