Gangjing City.

Hundreds of years ago, this city was once a huge steelmaking city. Steel mills spread all over the city can turn hundreds of millions of ores into hundreds of millions of tons of steel every year.

Even now, when a large number of non-metallic and nanomaterials generally replace steel, the steel production in Gangjing City (mostly high-strength special steel) is still around 5 million tons per year.

Not only that, in addition to the traditional steelmaking industry, Gangjing City is also the city with the largest underground weapon production in the entire 52 districts.

It can be said that 80% of illegal pistols, rifles, and grenades that use chemical energy are leaked from thousands of underground handicraft workshops in Gangjing City. Not only are the quality excellent, but the user reputation is also very high.

In District 52, weapons such as guns and ammunition have always been strictly prohibited by laws in various cities. Except for public security personnel, ordinary citizens are not allowed to own guns. Once discovered, they will be fined and detained for education.

The problem is that this prosperous city that originally made a living by steelmaking. After the steelmaking industry declined, the unemployment rate of workers was too high. If you don’t make some weapons privately, you may have to starve and drink the northwest wind.

...

After taking the train for a few hours, Zhou Ming and his men came to the west of the city. After distributing the photos according to the designated residential community, more than a dozen people scattered and searched carefully.

I searched for three days, but I still haven't found it yet.

The reason why the residential houses in this community were built on the basis of a factory building of an abandoned steel factory. It is better to say that they are simple housing piled up with one giant container after another. It is also a "mid-range residential community". The conditions and environment are even worse than those of the slums in Yaoxing City.

However, if compared with other areas of the city, when those houses in the steel factory were not placed in the steel factory, but were placed randomly in mud and water fields, the houses in these waste factory areas can be said to be "mid-range".

After all, the box houses in these factories (the locals call them) are all water and electricity, and the conditions are good.

The poor appearance of Gangjing City made Zhou Ming a little shocking. This should be one of the poorest and most backward cities in District 52, and it may not even be better than some places in the lower-level areas, which completely subverts people's perception of "paragraph zone".

There are poor people in heaven.

The reason for the backwardness is also simple. On the one hand, it is the severe weakness of heavy industry. On the other hand, relying on the strong steel fortress and easily suffered nuclear strikes, the population of Gangjing City is as large as three million.

The poorer it is, the population is still growing, and the number of thousands of workshop-style underground arsenals has always been synonymous with chaos.

In addition, Gangjing City has a nickname called "Hometown of Zero". There are countless people who return to the zero. Not only can the zeroing be caught, but they are not very brave to catch them, because guns are rampant in this city. Those who are afraid of being caught will be caught. After coming to this city from all over the place, they will buy guns when they get credit points. Those who return to the zeroing be chased after him, and he will do it when he wield the gun, and even a group of zeroing be returned to the group to follow!

No matter how powerful a person who clears the zero is, he will not be able to move freely in the rain of bullets and catch whoever he wants.

If this trend continues, the Gangjing City in District 52 will sooner or later become a igniting place for rebellion and Mars, bringing endless turmoil and hidden dangers to the entire Calm District 52.

This was true later. Zhou Ming remembers that in about 20 years, a leader with a charming personality would stand up in Gangjing City, issue revolutionary slogans, lead millions of people, prepare a large number of weapons, and launch a massive rebellion.

As a result, the rebellion was wiped out in less than a month under the attack of some mysterious virus and a large-scale coma poisonous gas.

Millions of people, all senior officials were sentenced to death, most of whom were taken away by the cleared, and a small number were placed in "Super War Game", becoming ants and cannon fodder in the eyes of the upper class nobles, struggling and wailing.

"Boss, found it, found it!"

On the fifth day, good news finally came. After a middle-aged man who was guarding the entrance of the community day and night, he saw an elite middle-aged man in suits and ties, he recognized him at a glance through his similar appearance to his boss, and then quickly called the communication device and reported the situation to Zhou Ming.

Fang Zhihong!

The father of this body has been found.

After seeing Fang Zhihong, Zhou Ming found that he was timid, and fear and panic flashed in his eyes. When he saw those strong men following Zhou Ming, his steps drifted, as if he wanted to run away.

"Hold him down!"

After asking a subordinate to control him, he walked to Fang Zhihong and Zhou Ming said, "Mom and sister are there, take me to see them."

"Don't think about it!"

Fang Zhihong gritted his teeth and said to him.

"Hmph! Do you think you resisted me?"

Zhou Ming, who had a p10 puff in his hand, asked his subordinates to drag him to a place where no one was around, and then pressed him down hard and stopped moving. He quickly asked everything he wanted to know.

In front of a "box room" wrapped in three iron chains around the factory area, I got the key from Fang Zhihong, opened the door, and walked in, the scene inside the house surprised Zhou Ming.

There is joy and anger.

The happy thing is that my mother Yuan Jiali and her sister Fang Xiaojing are both there.

Not only were both of them, but there was also an extra baby in the mother's hands.

What was angry was that the current changes in his mother and sister's appearance were so great that he could hardly recognize him.

The handcuffs were heavy handcuffs on the feet of my mother and sister.

His hands were also tied with iron chains and tied near the bed and toilet. The maximum range of movement was no more than three meters.

The biggest change is the huge change in the mother's appearance.

Half gray hair, withered face, thin bones, dazed and dazed, holding the baby in his arms, muttering something constantly. When outsiders walked in, they didn't look up to see.

It gives people the feeling that after being greatly stimulated and tortured, people are already crazy.

My sister Fang Xiaojing's performance was slightly better. After hearing the footsteps, she panicked on her face and subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide. But when she saw that the person coming was not the demon, she often dreamed. After she saw that the person she could only see in her dream, she showed ecstasy on her face, cried loudly, and flew over:

"Brother! Is it you? Is it really you?"

Then there was a shrill crying.

"It's me, don't cry, don't cry."

After patting my sister's skinny back, I held it in my arms and comforted her for a while, then unhandled her sister's mother and the others' handcuffs and removed the chains, Zhou Ming asked in detail, what did they have experienced in the past two years since they arrived in District 52?

Fang Xiaojing was crying while swallowing the food in her hands, while telling her brother about the cause and effect of the matter.

It turned out that when the three of them first came to District 52, everything in District 52 was indeed like a "paragraph", making them full of longing for their new life in the future and unlimited expectations.

The mineral company also arranged a job for Fang Zhihong: to go to Gangjing City, thousands of miles away, and work as a lifelong nursing worker in a nursing company in a beautiful countryside affiliated with this city.

The so-called elderly care companies are as many as tens of thousands of companies in the entire 52nd District. Because the average life expectancy in the 52nd District is relatively long, many elderly people over 7 or 80 years old, as well as some middle- and high-income earners who have completed mid-term life extension medical care, will basically spend the rest of their lives in various nursing homes.

Most elderly care companies generally choose to build elderly care facilities in the countryside with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful environments, and good conditions. They also have fish ponds, flower beds, farms, fitness facilities, and smart robot care workers. Of course, the fees are relatively high.

The conditions are poor, a large building with a courtyard inside, providing a small playground for sunbathing. In life, you can eat three large pot meals a day, listen to the radio, and hire two strong nurses to provide some help to the elderly with mobility difficulties.

The elderly care company where Fang Zhihong works is naturally not a good company. He was asked to serve more than 50 elderly people over 90 years old alone, and his monthly salary was only 1,500 credit points.

In addition to his own expenses, this salary also needs to support his wife and daughter.

What made him even more unbearable was that he, a big man who was used to being served by dozens or hundreds of people, now wants him to serve dozens of old people?

Fang Zhihong's beautiful fantasy was instantly shattered, and he felt deceived, and found that the little devil said something right: This is not a paradise, except for the blue sky and white clouds, green plants and clear rivers, everything else is hell!

The huge gap made him feel that instead of living this kind of life, it would be better to stay in District 51 and continue to be his area manager.

At least he is below one person and above tens of thousands.

Here, he not only had nothing, but also had to be called around by dozens of old men.

Stop doing it, leave!

His wife Yuan Jiali grabbed him and told him to do it for a while and not quit his job. If it really doesn't work, she also went to the city to find a job and earn more money.

She still has two free money in her hand, so she should have no problem buying a job with a monthly income of 5,000 credit points.

He refused his wife's suggestion without hesitation. When did he fall to the point where he had to rely on women to support him? He was not allowed to look for a job, and I would like to make some money first!

So, Fang Zhihong began to use his brain, and in a short while he came up with several ways to make money.

First of all, the food expenses are deducted. For 50 elderly people, one elderly person, each person has 3 credit points of food expenses. It is 150 points a day and 4,500 yuan a month. With the guaranteed salary, he is the high-income class with a monthly income of 6,000 points.

After three months of doing this, Fang Zhihong really made a small amount of money. Of course, the average weight of the elderly also lost three or four kilograms.

The second is to deduct medical expenses. These elderly people are old and have various problems in their bodies. They often have to take various medicines, but because these medicines are purchased and fed by the caregiver, they have many opportunities to do so.

The money earned from deducting medical expenses is much more than food expenses. In the fourth month, Fang Zhihong directly earned more than 10,000 yuan a month, and in the fifth month, he almost went for 20,000 yuan.

In the sixth month, Fang Zhihong was fired and was discovered by the company. Do you think that if three elderly people died in a row within a month, can they not be discovered?

Fang Zhihong, who was arrested, was a little confused. He had to take three steps to the inheritance of the dead old men, so that he would earn more, not only or even get money from the old men.

As a result, he was fired, but he lost all the money he had earned before, and was sued by the family of the deceased to pay the family of the deceased one piece of money.

At this time, he should have been taken away by the cleared person, but his wife Yuan Jiali took out a piece of money, and at the last moment, she pulled him and said to him:

"We only have the last one money left. Find a stable job and work hard. Don't do anything that is harmful to the world?"

Fang Zhihong lowered his head and said nothing. After the family of three went to the city to try their luck, they saw most jobs that could be bought for 1000-3500 yuan on the information panel of the professional exchange. When they saw most of the jobs that could be bought for 1000-3500 yuan per month, Fang Zhihong's eyes were deeply attracted by a position that required 3000 yuan to buy:

Position: Production Manager of a Steel Plant; Purchase Price: 3 Money; Salary: 10,000 Credit Points/month; Description: Managing 20 workers, those with management experience can receive 10%-20% salary

This position is very well paid and able to manage people, which is very suitable for him.

Moreover, he had exactly 3 coins in his hand.

"We don't have three coins, we can only take out one at most." His wife Yuan Jiali said in confusion.

"Add two on you and Xiao Jing, aren't there just three?"

Fang Zhihong's mouth showed an iconic devil smile.

So, starting from this day, a nightmare came for Yuan Jiali and Fang Xiaojing.

...

"Bang!"

After listening to his sister's story, Zhou Ming pounded his fist hard on the bed.

It was hard for him to imagine that such a person would exist: in order to prevent his wife and daughter from being taken away by those who were cleared, he locked them up at home all day and forbidden them from going out.
