"The mysterious world under steampunk ( Find the latest chapter!
Before the long night, Jones was a grinder at the gear factory, but when the Dodd Group’s factory had an accident, the gear factory’s order was also cancelled. For this reason, the boss had to lay off the extra workers in the factory, and Jones was One of those who were abolished.
In fact, there are still many factory workers in O'Dorlin City who are indirectly implicated because of the Dodd Group accident like Jones Jr.
When the Dodd Group entered the city of Odoline and began to build factories, it placed a large number of orders with various parts factories in Odoline City. In order to stabilize the production of orders, these factories began to recruit a large number of workers. After all, there are not many idle workers in the city. For this reason, the bosses of each factory encouraged the city council to pass a special residents occupancy bill, which allows people outside the city to become Odoline’s inner city residents by virtue of the factory’s recruitment contract. , And Little Jones became a resident of Odoline City in this way, and his family was able to live in the city because of his identity, enjoying a rare stability in this chaotic world.
Those Odoline people who were born in Odoline City and left the city wall to protect it from outside can hardly imagine how miserable those living outside the city are, not only lack of food, but even life is not guaranteed, often I encountered monster attacks in my sleep. Although the town had also built a wall, if such a wooden wall encountered those huge monsters, it would have no defense at all.
Several of Jones’s family died in the hands of monsters, and the lives of him, his mother, and his siblings were bought back by his father and uncle with their own lives. It was precisely because of the fear of monsters and the desire for safety. , Even if the gear factory boss who recruited them offered extremely harsh conditions, almost a contract, he did not hesitate to sign the contract.
I thought that their family would be able to live in Odolin safely and lead a normal life, but what I didn't expect was an accident in the Dodd Group factory, which affected the gear factory and caused him to be fired.
If he were a real Odoline, he would not worry about his job, because he had enough time to find the next job, and the Odoline city government would not give him too much control.
But he is not a real Odoline, even if he and his family live in Odoline City, but their identification is still written as a non-Odoline.
Because he and his family’s residency rights are all in his employment contract. On the day he was dismissed from the factory, the contract naturally lapsed. Although he and his family would not be expelled from the city immediately, The time left for him is running out. When the next resident investigation begins, he and his family will be expelled from Odoline City because they lost their employment contract and did not have a formal job.
"Why don't I go to the city defense army today to take a look." Little Jones soaked the rough wheat cake in water, then picked it up and swallowed it, then said to his mother.
"No, absolutely not!" The mother immediately shook her head, with a rare serious expression on her wrinkled face, staring at Little Jones and said: "Even if you are driven out of the city, you can't go to the city defense army. Have you heard? "
Little Jones and his mother looked at each other, and finally couldn't resist. He could only lower his head and said, "Okay, Mom!"
The reason why Jones's mother was so strongly opposed to it was because she knew that a person like them would have a 90% chance to die on the wall when joining the city defense army.
In the official report of Odolin City, the casualties of the city defense forces were very small in every monster attack. This was not only due to the strength of the city walls and the mysterious power contained in it, but also because the auxiliary city defense forces did not It will be recorded in the report, which means that even if the city defense auxiliary forces are all dead, as long as the city defense forces have no casualties, then the report will also have zero casualties.
In order to cope with monster attacks, Odolin City will recruit a large number of people to join the city defense army, but there are differences within the city defense army. The Odorin people or those who have official resident status of Odolin City will be arranged to the official army of the city defense army , And those non-Odolin will be placed in the auxiliary army.
When encountering a monster siege, the city defense army often uses the auxiliary army as a bait to induce the monster to attack the auxiliary army, and the city defense army with better equipment and stronger weapons can take the opportunity to kill the monsters, so it is often a battle. , The casualties of the auxiliary army will be extremely heavy, and there will often be all personnel losses.
Although O'Doryn’s city defense auxiliary army is so dangerous, there are still a large number of people willing to join it, because joining the auxiliary army is also very rewarding.
In addition to double the high salary of the regular city defense army, as long as one year in the auxiliary army, you can become a city defense army and officially obtain resident status. It can also help no more than four relatives and friends to obtain temporary residence rights for five years. .
Even if he dies, his family can get a large amount of pension, and his designated four family members can also get five-year temporary residence.
The reason why Jones had the idea of ​​joining the city defense auxiliary army was mainly because many neighbors had already chosen to join the city defense army during the long night. Although these people eventually died on the wall, they also did it for themselves. His family has changed their temporary residency rights for five years, and there is no need to worry about being driven out of the city.
More importantly, joining the city defense auxiliary army does not require any special conditions, nor do you need to master any knowledge and abilities. You can join directly by signing up.
Although Little Jones agreed that his mother would not join the city defense auxiliary army, he did not completely give up this idea in his heart. He planned to wait a few days to see. If he really couldn't find a job, he could only go to the city defense army.
The room became a lot quieter for a while. Although Little Jones’ younger siblings were not so sensible, they could still feel the emotions of their brother and mother. They all honestly ate the things in their hands, and then went back to the room and waited quietly. Now, there is no jockeying like usual.
At this time, someone outside suddenly knocked on the door.
Little Jones and his mother became nervous and each picked up the simple knives placed in the cabinet next to them. They were not guarding against monsters that appeared during the night, because they knew that monsters would not knock on the door at all, but would directly break the door. The attack, they are actually guarding against other residents who also live in this apartment.
People like Little Jones who live in the city through special policies have been placed in the same city by the city government. Even in order to avoid uniting and making troubles, people in the same town or village will be placed in different apartments and residential areas. Therefore, the relationship between the little Jones family and the people in the same apartment are very strange.
However, after getting along for a while, they still got to know the situation of their neighbors. Except for the two households who were honest workers like them, the others were street gangsters and gangsters. After they entered the city, they were uneasy. Being a worker, or choosing to join a gang in the city, or becoming a robber and a thief on the street, all in all are cruel bad guys.
In the past, a person living upstairs tried to rob Little Jones’ mother, but was met by Little Jones who had just got off work and beat her away. This also made Little Jones’s family knock on any door. Be extra nervous.
"Little Jones, it's me, Peter, Peter from Old Taoter's house." Just when Little Jones was hesitant to open the door, the knocker outside the door shouted into the room.
"Peter, it's Peter." Hearing a familiar voice, Little Jones also relaxed, immediately handed the knife in his hand to his mother, walked over and opened the door.
After opening the door, a young man who was slightly shorter than Little Jones walked in. After hugging Little Jones hard, he saluted Little Jones' mother on the side and said, "It's been a long time, Mrs. Jones."
"It's been a long time, Peter!" Little Jones' mother also kindly stepped forward and hugged the young man, and then asked with concern.
Peter looked sad and said, "He has gone to the city defense army."
Hearing Peter's words, Little Jones and his mother didn't ask any more, because they already knew the result, and they were surprised that Old Taut joined the city defense army for Little Peter.
As neighbors for many years, they all knew how Old Taut, the drunkard, treated Peter. For a long time, they thought that Peter might not be Old Taut’s son, but Old Taut didn’t know where he picked it up. Jones' parents often take care of Peter, and Peter has spent more time at Jones's house than his own.
This time the factory recruited workers. Peter and Jr. Jones signed up together and were recruited by different factories. They were also assigned to different residential areas. Although they were in the same city, the two parties had already lost contact. At this time I saw Peter again.
After letting Peter into the house, Jr. Jones closed the door and asked about Peter's situation. After hearing that Peter had actually been hired by the Dodd Group and joined the engineering team under the name of the Dodd Group, Jones was also very good Envy, because this means that even without Old Taut’s pension and pension terms, Peter can continue to stay in the city, and may even become an official Odoline resident, because the Dodd Group’s high welfare is well known. of.
"Actually, you can also join the Dodd Group." Peter said immediately when he saw Little Jones' expression of admiration.
Upon hearing Peter's words, Little Jones and his mother immediately looked at Peter in surprise, and Little Jones couldn't help but hurriedly asked: "Does the Dodd Group's engineering team still need to recruit people?"
"No, it's not! The engineering team is already full, no manpower is needed, and the factory is the same." Peter shook his head again and again, and then the mother and son Jones, who pretended to be mysterious, came over and said seriously: "I heard that the group Recently, a sufficient department is needed and the factory area is expanded, so the new department needs to recruit some people."
"Can I go?" Little Jones asked again immediately.
"No, I don't know exactly what the manpower requirements of that department require, but they are very strict. The senior management of the group is responsible for recruiting and will not openly recruit." Peter said a disappointing answer, but in the little Jones mother and son The disappointed colleague changed the conversation and added: "Although you cannot be an employee of that department, you are qualified for the security personnel of that department."
"Security personnel?" Little Jones was stunned, and said in doubt: "I remember that the security of the Dodd Group is trained internally and will not be publicly recruited."
"It is usually the case, but it is different now." Peter whispered: "It is said that this new department will be very large, it will require a lot of manpower and security personnel. It has exceeded the number of training personnel of the Dodd Group, so it needs Recruited from outside, and I also heard that the recruits this time have a chance to get a bottle of constitution potion."
"Physique potion?" After hearing this, Little Jones showed a shocked expression on his face, and immediately confirmed: "Is it the kind of constitution potion that the Dodd Group publicly displayed that day that can turn an ordinary person into a super fighter?"
Peter also nodded and said: "Yes, it is the kind of physique medicine, and I heard that there is still no side effect improvement medicine. I have already planned to apply for the job. This opportunity is too rare, but I always feel that when I go alone My heart is not at ease, so I come to ask you, are you interested in being together?"
At this moment, Little Jones could not hear Peter clearly. The images that appeared in his mind were all the scenes he saw in the square that day, and there was an expression of excitement on his face~EbookFREE.me~ Although the parade and Little Jones that day It didn't matter, but the person who organized the parade said that any participant could get a sum of food, so he who was just fired participated in the parade in order not to starve his family.
Originally, he thought that the parade might cause some conflict, so he had already made preparations to escape when there was chaos before he set off, but he did not expect that he was placed in the front row of the line because of his tall stature. When a conflict occurs, he will inevitably be involved.
However, what he never expected was that the massive parade against the Dodd Group ended in an anticlimax when the Dodd Group took out a bottle of potion to show how to transform a thin person into After becoming an extremely strong super soldier, the anti-Dodd group parade is over. Those who support the parade have all paid attention to the medicine. The people who witnessed it in the entire parade are also talking about this. Pharmacy, Jr. Jones is also one of them.
Although Little Jones had many times fantasized about getting a bottle of potion and becoming a super soldier, this was just thinking about it. He knew very well that even if there is potion, ordinary people cannot use it. Only those powerful and powerful can use it. Affordable.
But now his friend Peter, who has been playing since childhood, told him that he had the opportunity to get such a bottle of physique potion. How could this not make him feel excited.
Just when Little Jones wanted to further inquire about some details, the darkness outside the window seemed to have been erased and disappeared in an instant. The dazzling sunlight shone through the gap in the window and shone on everyone. Let everyone feel the warmth, but also the inexplicable happiness.
"It's dawn!" After a while, Little Jones' mother sighed in the room.
