From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 251

Chapter 251 Unusual Records of Golden City
Chen Guangda had never been particular about people. Apart from his many prestigious deeds as a student, he had always lingered at the bottom of the social ladder. Therefore, when he walked into a large and chaotic residential area, he did not feel the slightest bit of disgust. Instead, he felt that this place was extremely grounded and filled with the flavor of real life.

“The rent is paid once a month. If you have money in your pockets, pay it for a few more months. Otherwise, we will clear the house and move things two days later …”

Two arrogant young ladies led the way. They wore the uniform of the city management and were holding a few keys in their hands. These two ladies looked like someone in the bed. They didn’t even look like serious workers. They probably had to go back after work to be trained.

But Chen Guangda didn’t care what they said. He was looking around curiously with his hands in his pockets. Although this was the middle class of the settlement camp, life was completely incomparable to the past. It could almost be described as a family apprentice. The only thing that could be said was that the hygiene was not bad. It was probably all because of the virus. No one dared to let down their guard.

‘”Hehe ~ I’ll tell you a trick to having fun. As long as you see a shoe at the door and the tip of the shoe is facing the door, you can go in bravely and enjoy yourself. Don’t worry if she has a husband or not …”

Wei Kongkong smiled and pointed at a house in front of him. Sure enough, there was a woman’s leather shoe at the door, ‘”These are basically part-time housewives. They earn extra money when their husbands go out to work. However, there are also husbands at the entrance to watch the show. They are much safer than those girls who are standing on the street. The price is also very reasonable. Usually, they start at fifty cents, and the most expensive one is less than two yuan!” He said with a smile.

“Holy shit! Isn’t this too cheap …”

Chen Guangda was once again shocked by the prices here. It was so cheap that it was horribly cheap. However, when one thought about the rent for a month, it was only three dollars. If one came back after a good day of business, no wonder so many women from good families would go to the sea together. This industry had always been the easiest business to make money, and it was also the easiest pit for people to go without looking back.

“We’re here! This is it …”

The two leading women suddenly walked into a small alley and entered a large courtyard. This courtyard looked very old. There was a sign at the entrance of the courtyard saying “Historical Conservation Building”. However, the courtyard was quite clean. A small building of two floors surrounded this place, and there were about twenty rooms up and down.

“The five rooms on the left are all yours. The kitchen and toilet are all shared. Every morning, someone will come to pour the toilet bowl for you on time …”

After a few simple introductions, the two women collected money and invoiced to leave, leaving behind a few rusty keys. Chen Guangda pushed open a room and looked inside. Unexpectedly, there wasn’t even a broken bed in the room, and there was even blood on the walls and the ground. It was estimated that the living corpses had eaten people here a lot back then.

“Ah San! You and Wang Dafu can go out and buy some furniture and bedding. Just be simple and clean …”

Chen Guangda shook his head dejectedly. He took out a few gold vouchers and threw them to Wang Dafu. The little girl they had just bought also cleaned up quickly. However, Chen Guangda saw that her face was yellow and skinny. Even her small chest was about to turn into an airport. He took out a large bag of biscuits from his backpack and said, “Eat first. If you faint from hunger, no one will help me.”

“Thank you!”

Zhou Ting nodded her head with great emotion. She picked up the biscuit and sat down to eat it. However, a woman suddenly walked in. There were two large buckets of water on her shoulders. When she saw them, she was stunned for a moment. Then she smiled politely and said, “Ah! There are a few new neighbors. You haven’t gone to fetch water yet, right? You should use this water first!”

“Haha ~ Thank you! We’ll help you pick up a few more barrels later …”

Chen Guangda also smiled politely at them. Yang Hao hurriedly went over to fetch the water. The only thing that was free in this place was probably the water. It was still clean and delicious spring water. However, to fetch water, he had to go a few kilometers away to the mountain depression. It was not easy to go back and forth once.

“Mom!”

A big-eyed girl suddenly ran out of the room and hugged the woman’s thigh. Chen Guangda took out a few chocolates and handed them to the girl. Who would have thought that the little girl would scream excitedly and tear open the package and gulp it down. The woman quickly pulled her and said anxiously, “Slow down, don’t choke!”

“Sister-in-law! Who are the people living here …”

Chen Guang laughed loudly and touched the girl’s head. This woman in her thirties was actually quite tasty. Her dignified and elegant appearance was probably also highly educated. Even her simple clothes could not conceal her good figure. However, her messy long hair made her look a little dejected.

“My wife and the other families are building houses for people outside. There are a few wood cutters and dung pickers upstairs and some actors from the theater. The biggest man in the middle was at sea. I heard that he came back safely this time. Everyone from his family went to pick him up at the dock …”

The woman gently stroked her messy hair on her forehead. Xiu Xiuqi’s appearance looked very cultured. Chen Guangda casually asked what they used to do, but the woman sighed and said, “Actually, my wife and I are both teaching in middle school. But now, the scholars are really useless. If it weren’t for our fellow countrymen becoming contractors, my wife wouldn’t even be able to find a single laborer!”

“It will definitely get better. As long as I recover from this strength …”

Chen Guangda chuckled softly, but he knew how difficult it was to return to his previous life, especially in a place where even farming had to find connections.

However, the neighbors in the courtyard heard the noise. Most of them were women who stayed at home. The only man came out with his pants in hand. The woman who followed closely behind him was carrying a red leather shoe. She put it generously behind the door and coquettishly winked at Chen Guangda and the others. Obviously, she was also a half-concealed female prostitute.

“Oh, there’s a new student …”

A short and sturdy man suddenly strode in from outside the door. Not only was his skin sunburned like an African, his entire body emitted a strong fishy smell, but there were four women and two children behind him. Everyone was delighted as they hugged the foam box, and a few crab claws were stretching out unwillingly from inside.

“Wow ~ Big Brother Fang! This is a big harvest! When will you take care of our men …”

A bunch of ladies immediately gathered around in shock. So many crabs and seafood were enough for a man to make a small fortune, but the man smiled and said, “You all come and sleep with me tonight. After you sleep, you’ll take your man out to sea tomorrow. How about it?”

“Alright! You said that. We will definitely kill you tonight …”

A bunch of ladies were obviously very familiar with him and started flirting naked. However, the man pushed them away and walked to the opposite side of Chen Guangda. He took out cigarettes and gave each of them one by one. Then, he smiled and said, “My name is Fang Jianzhong. How should I address the brothers?”

“My name is Chen Guangda, Guangda of Everbright Bank. Judging from Brother Fang’s aura, he should be an old sailor. How about going to the sea?”

Chen Guangda smiled as he took the other party’s inferior cigarettes and lit them for himself. However, Fang Jianzhong waved his hand and said, “It’s all a life-threatening business. Once we go out to sea, our heads are tied to our belts. This time, the five boats will sail together, but only two of them have returned. If it weren’t for us slipping away, we would have died!”

“What did you encounter? A mutated whale or shark?”

Chen Guangda subconsciously knitted his brows. He naturally had no idea of the current sea, but the other party said with a fuss, “Are you kidding?” “If we encounter those things, we won’t be able to survive. We’re the overlords of the sea. Even the submarines can be overturned by them. We’re just fighting in the sea, but the most deadly thing is the seawater. If we accidentally drink a mouthful or get into a wound, we’ll just wait to become a living corpse!”

“How much do you sell this crab for? How much is it …”

Chen Quan suddenly grabbed a pike crab from the box. The only creatures that wouldn’t turn into corpses were probably them and insects. However, a woman took back the crab and shouted, “Don’t take it randomly. This crab was bought by our husband. Do you know how expensive it is? Even the smallest one costs seven to eight yuan!”

“Boy Quan! Don’t randomly take other people’s things. They’re just pointing at this to eat …”

Chen Guangda hurriedly winked at Chen Quan. What they needed now was to keep a low profile, not show off how rich they were. Chen Quan, who was about to get angry, could only walk away sullenly. However, Fang Jianzhong said carelessly, “This old lady has never seen the world before. Don’t be like her. I just happened to have two bottles of good wine. How about coming over for a few drinks tonight?” “But you have to bring your own dishes and drinks!”

“No problem! If you treat me to a drink tonight, I’ll treat you to dinner …”

Chen Guangda agreed without any hesitation. Seeing that Wang Dafu and the others had brought back a few carts of furniture, they hurriedly ran out to help. Fang Jianzhong also hugged the two women and was about to walk into the room. However, his wife was puzzled and asked, “Honey, what are you doing? Why are you treating them to drinks? That wine is so expensive!”

“What do you know …”

Fang Jianzhong took a deep breath of cigarette and said, “You all know how sharp my nose is,” Chen Guangda and the others whispered. “The moment I entered, I smelled gunpowder from their bodies. It was all caused by shooting a lot of bullets. Moreover, they almost all had calluses left behind by pulling the trigger on their index fingers. Therefore, these people must not be simple. Don’t offend them in the future!”

“Cut ~ There are so many people in the city with guns, what’s so great about it …”

A few women curled their lips carelessly. They didn’t take Chen Guangda and the others seriously. However, Fang Jianzhong suddenly raised his eyebrows. As Chen Guangda bent over, the iron spear on his back suddenly pierced through the cloth cover and revealed itself. He immediately cried out in shock, “Holy shit! The claws of the mutated corpse are definitely the claws of the high-grade mutated corpse!”
