Chapter 262 Metropolis
Metropolis is a not-so-large city with a population of about 100,000.
In the real world, it is nothing at all.
But in the doomsday world, it is the center of heaven and all survivors' dreams.
The city, with plenty of drinking water and electricity, warm rooms and extensive social spaces.
Although there are no entertainment venues such as cinemas and Internet cafes, at least there are bars, various restaurants and hotels.
As the Metropolis approached, the speed of the caravan gradually slowed down. The middleman Yongyi came over and said hello, "Everyone, the Metropolis is coming soon, what are you planning in the future?"
"Lao Shang, how do you plan to arrange for us?" Huang Yingwei asked casually, "We are all guests. We are not familiar with the place here. Can you find a place for us to live in?"
"If you are willing to come to me, that's the best." Shang Yongyi smiled, "I can provide you with a single-family villa, enough for more than a dozen people to live in. I have some financial resources in the city."
"We don't have money to pay for the rent," Huang Yingwei said with a smile.
"You and Mo Yun saved me several times. If it weren't for you, the caravan would have become part of those thieves long ago. This is what I should do, not to mention that your existence itself is a help to me." Shang Yongyi said naturally.
"That's thank you." Mo Yun nodded, "The five of us, as well as Chi Muyun and Shi Hanrui in the carriage next to us, will follow us."
"No problem. I will send you there directly. It is usually used to entertain guests, right near our business." Shang Yongyi nodded, "If it's okay, I'll leave first. There are still some procedures and identity processing when entering the city, but you don't have to worry, I will directly find someone to help you."
"That's thank you." Mo Yun nodded.
"Well, you're welcome." Shang Yongyi waved his hand heroically and turned around and left.
"This uncle is such a smart person." Cersei looked at Shang Yongyi's back as he left, and sighed.
"Yes, it's very sophisticated, but it won't make people feel disgusted." Mo Yun nodded.
Although Shang Yongyi is a typical businessman with interests first, he is also loyal, has enough friends, is willing to help, and knows how to repay kindness.
Although their attitude towards them, as well as these welfare conditions, may be due to interests.
But when talking, people can feel comfortable and feel like spring breeze. This is a very clever skill in dealing with people.
The convoy continued to move forward.
"Look." Huang Yingwei had already been leaning against the window and looked out, and now he stretched out his hand.
Mo Yun looked in the direction of his finger and saw a towering city wall appearing in front of the convoy. The city wall was covered with lights, looking like a pitch-black hill surrounded by light spots.
The city wall is like a gate, blocking the caravan's way forward, protecting the metropolis behind the gate.
"Please let me in!"
An old man, carrying a child who looked over three years old, was wearing ripped animal skins, begging a city guard in black armor under the city wall.
"Get out of here, you need to pay enough bullets or someone guarantees that you have nothing to do, so you can go back and forth from wherever you go." The city guard said coldly.
"But I..."
The old man wanted to continue talking, but was kicked away by a soldier wearing black armor, turned backwards and fell to the ground.
The child behind him was thrown and started crying.
But the old man hurriedly covered the child's mouth, not daring to stop here, and hid on both sides of the road.
If it is too noisy, it may be killed directly by the guards. This situation is not uncommon.
Even if he is killed, no one will avenge him.
Therefore, he must be careful enough to avoid the disaster of killing.
Near both sides of the road, there were dozens of similar people, all wearing shabby animal skins or ragged clothes, gathered in a bunch of them and never left, staring at the huge caravans, as if they were eager for someone to take them in.
The few people in the car were sitting quietly, staring at the people who were ragged on both sides of the road, and were unmoved by the pleading expressions in their eyes.
Huang Yingwei looked at Cersei in the carriage with a little surprise, "I thought you would save one or two."
"Save?" Cersei's dark blue pupils were not fluctuating. "I can save one or two, but I can't save everyone. Since that's the case, it's better not to save."
"It's interesting." Huang Yingwei smiled slightly.
But at this moment, a person suddenly jumped out of the carriage in front. It was a neutral girl about eighteen years old. She jumped out of the car with a little unbearable feeling and picked up a girl about seven or eight years old from the road next to her.
The girl stood in the middle of the road, watching the car coming and dodged. If she didn't help her, she would probably be killed directly.
But her actions seemed to have ignited the fuse. Dozens of people rushed up from both sides of the road, all kneeling beside her, "Please take my daughter in!"
"Please, this is my son, he is only five years old this year!"
"You are a kind-hearted kind person. My daughter is fourteen years old and can do anything. Let her follow you!"
Dozens of people knelt beside her, pulled her sleeves tightly, and cried and begged.
For a moment, the girl in the middle of the road seemed at a loss, not knowing what to do, and stood foolishly in the middle of the road, stunned for a moment.
Everyone in the carriage watched the scene with different expressions.
"That's the girl named Shi Hanrui?" Cersei's eyes flashed.
"Yes, that's what you said, that very talented guy."
Huang Yingwei looked at Mo Yun with a lively expression, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if seeing such a scene made him feel very interesting.
"Do we want to help her?" Liu Chengjian asked.
"The things she caused herself will naturally be solved by herself." Mo Yun said lightly, "After this incident, she must have understood more truths."
"You are really ruthless." Although Cersei said this, he obviously had no intention of getting out of the car to help.
The convoy continued to move forward, ignoring Shi Hanrui, who was surrounded by the crowd, and left her behind directly.
Shi Hanrui looked at the carriage where Mo Yun and others were with a look of help, but the window was tightly closed and she could not see anything...
Ten minutes later.
After the caravan entered the city, they stopped at the inn at the city gate. Here, the caravan passengers got off the caravan, and the other vehicles that followed the caravan also parted ways, leaving only a dozen cars from Shang Yongyi's family.
"Everyone, come back with me." Shang Yongyi jumped out of the car, followed by Shang Yingxuan in a white dress.
Her eyes looked at Huang Yingwei vaguely, then looked at Cersei with blue hair, and then looked away.
"Okay, but I want to trouble you."
