The first thousand one hundred and seventy-eight chapters
Before the Long Night, Little Jones was a grinder in the gear factory. However, after the Dodd Group's factory had an accident, the gear factory's orders were also canceled. Therefore, the boss had to lay off the redundant workers in the factory, and Little Jones was the grinder.
One of those who was laid off.
In fact, there are many factory workers in Odolin City like Little Jones who were indirectly implicated in the Dodd Group's accident.
When the Dodd Group entered Odolin City and started building factories, it placed a large number of orders with various parts factories in Odolin City. In order to stabilize the production of orders, these factories began to recruit a large number of workers, and Odolin
After all, there are not many idle workers in the city. Therefore, the bosses of various factories encouraged the city council to pass a special resident occupancy bill. This bill allows people from outside the city to become Odolin's inner-city residents by virtue of the factory's recruitment contract.
, and this is how little Jones became a resident of Odoline City, and his family was able to live in the city because of his identity, enjoying a rare stability in this chaotic world.
Those Odolin people who were born in Odolin City and have left the protection of the city wall can hardly imagine how miserable those living outside the city are. Not only are they short of food, but their lives are not guaranteed. They often
He was attacked by monsters in his sleep. Although the town had built a wall, such a wooden wall would have no defense at all if it encountered those huge monsters.
Several members of Jones Jr.'s family died at the hands of monsters, and his, mother, and siblings' lives were exchanged for their own lives by his father and uncle, precisely because of the fear of monsters and the desire for safety.
, even though the gear factory owner who recruited them offered extremely harsh conditions, almost a contract of betrayal, he signed the contract without hesitation.
He originally thought that his family could live safely in Odolin City and live a normal life, but what he didn't expect was that something happened to the Dodd Group's factory, which affected the gear factory and led to his dismissal.
If he were a real Odoline man, he would not worry about his job, because he would have enough time to find another job, and the Odoline city government would not give him too much control.
But he is not a real Odolin. Even though he and his family live in Odolin, their identity certificates still say they are not Odolin.
Because the residence rights of him and his family are all in his employment contract, the contract will naturally become invalid on the day he is fired from the factory. Although he and his family will not be driven out of the city immediately,
There is not much time left for him. When the next resident survey begins, he and his family will be kicked out of Odolyn City because they have lost their employment contract and have no formal job.
"How about I go take a look at the city defense army today." Little Jones soaked the rough wheat cake in water, then picked it up and swallowed it in one gulp, then said to his mother.
"No, absolutely not!" The mother immediately shook her head, with a rare serious expression on her wrinkled face, and glared at Little Jones: "Even if you are driven out of the city, you can't go to the city defense army. Did you hear that?
"
Little Jones and his mother looked at each other, and finally couldn't resist, so they could only lower their heads and said: "Okay, Mom!"
The reason why Little Jones' mother was so strongly opposed was because she knew very well that people with their status joining the city defense army would have a 90% chance of dying on the city wall.
According to the official report of Odoline City, every time a wave of monsters attacked the city, the casualties of the city defense army were very small. This was not only due to the solidity of Odoline city wall and the mysterious power contained in it, but also because the city defense auxiliary army did not
It will be recorded in the report, which means that even if all the city defense auxiliary troops are dead, as long as there are no casualties in the city defense troops, the report will be zero casualties.
In order to cope with the attacks of monsters, Odoline City will recruit a large number of people to join the city defense army. However, there are differences within the city defense army. Odoline people or people with official resident status of Odoline City will be assigned to the formal army of the city defense army.
, and those who are not Aldolin will be placed in the auxiliary army.
When encountering a monster siege, the city defense army often uses the auxiliary army as bait to induce the monsters to attack the auxiliary army. The city defense army with better equipment and stronger weapons can take the opportunity to kill the monsters, so the battle often ends in one battle.
, the casualties of the auxiliary army will be extremely heavy, and all members will often be lost.
Although Odolin's city defense auxiliary army is so dangerous, there are still a large number of people willing to join it, because the rewards for joining the auxiliary army are also very large.
In addition to twice the high salary of the regular city defense army, as long as you serve in the auxiliary army for one year, you can become a regular city defense army and officially obtain resident status. You can also help no more than four relatives and friends obtain temporary residence rights for five years.
.
Even if you die, your family will receive a large pension, and the four designated family members will also receive five-year temporary residence rights.
The reason why Little Jones came up with the idea of joining the city defense auxiliary army was mainly because many people from his surrounding neighbors had already chosen to join the city defense army during the long night. Although these people eventually died on the city wall, they also did it for themselves.
My family was able to obtain temporary residence rights for five years without having to worry about being kicked out of the city.
What's more important is that joining the City Defense Auxiliary Army does not require any special conditions, nor does it require any knowledge and abilities. You can join directly by signing up.
Although little Jones promised his mother not to join the City Defense Auxiliary Army, he did not completely give up the idea in his heart. He planned to wait a few days and see if he really couldn't find a job, then he would have no choice but to join the City Defense Army.
The room became much quieter for a while. Although Jones's younger brothers and sisters were not very sensible, they could still feel the emotions of their brother and mother. They all ate the food in their hands honestly, and then went back to their rooms to stay quietly.
We were sitting there, not playing around as usual.
At this time, someone suddenly knocked hard on the door.
Little Jones and his mother both became nervous, and each picked up the simple knives placed in the cabinet next to them. What they were guarding against was not the monster that appeared at night, because they knew that the monster would not knock on the door at all, but would directly break the door.
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 are placed in the same urban area by the city government. Even in order to avoid joining forces to cause trouble, people in the same town or village will be arranged into different apartments and residential areas.
Therefore, the relationship between the Jones family and the people in the same apartment building is very unfamiliar.
However, after getting along for a while, they got to know the situation of their neighbors. Except for two families who were honest workers like them, the others were street gangsters and gangsters. After they entered the city, they were uneasy and uneasy.
When you are a worker, you either choose to join a gang in the city, or you become a robber or thief on the street. In short, all of them are ruthless bad guys.
In the past, a man who lived upstairs tried to rob Jones Jr.'s mother, but was met by Jones who had just gotten off work and beat him away. This also made Jones's family become more sensitive to any knock on the door.
Got to be extremely nervous.
"Little Jones, it's me, Peter, Peter from Old Totter's house." Just when Little Jones was hesitant to open the door, the knocker outside the door shouted into the house.
"Peter, it's Peter." Hearing the familiar voice, little Jones relaxed and 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 Jones Jr. walked in. After giving Little Jones a hard hug, he saluted Little Jones' mother beside him and said, "Long time no see, Mrs. Jones."
"Long time no see, Peter!" Little Jones' mother also kindly stepped forward and hugged the young man, and then asked with concern.
Peter showed a sad look and said: "He went to the city defense army."
After hearing Peter's words, little Jones and his mother stopped asking any more questions, because they already knew the result, and they were also surprised that Old Tote joined the city defense army for little Peter.
As neighbors for many years, they all knew how the drunkard Old Tote treated Peter. For a long time, they thought that Peter might not be Old Tote's son, but that Old Tote picked him up from nowhere, so the little boy
Jones' parents often took care of Peter, and Peter spent more time at Jones's house than at his own home.
This time the factory was recruiting workers. Peter and 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 lost contact. They did not expect that they would be in the same city.
Then I saw Peter again.
After letting Peter into the house, Little Jones closed the door, and then asked about Peter's situation. Later, when he heard that Peter had been hired by Dodd Group and joined the engineering team under the name of Dodd Group, Little Jones was also extremely surprised.
Envy, because this means that even without Old Tote's pension and pension terms, Peter can continue to stay in the city, and may even become an official Odolin resident, because the high welfare of the Dodd Group is well known to everyone
of.
"Actually, you can also join the Dodd Group." Peter said immediately when he saw Jones Jr.'s envious look.
Hearing Peter's words, Little Jones and his mother immediately looked at Peter in surprise. Little Jones couldn't help but asked urgently: "Does the Dodd Group's engineering team still need to recruit people?"
"No, it's not! The quota of the engineering team is already full, and there is no need for manpower, and the same goes for the factory." Peter shook his head repeatedly, and then pretending to be mysterious, Little Jones and his son came over and said seriously: "I heard that the group
Recently, we need to fill a department and expand the factory area, so the new department needs to recruit some manpower."
"Can I go?" Little Jones asked again immediately.
"No, I'm not very clear about the requirements for the manpower required by that department, but it is very strict. The senior management of the group is responsible for the recruitment, and there will be no open recruitment." Peter gave a disappointing answer, but after Jones and his son, Jones Jr.
The colleague who looked disappointed changed the topic and added: "Although you cannot be an employee of that department, you are qualified to be a security officer of that department."
"Security personnel?" Jones was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "I remember that the security guards at Dodd Group are all trained internally and will not be recruited openly."
"This is usually the case, but it is different now." Peter whispered: "It is said that this new department will be very large and will require a lot of manpower and security personnel. It has exceeded the number of people trained by the Dodd Group, so it needs
Recruited from outside, and I also heard that those recruited this time will have the opportunity to receive a bottle of physical potion."
"Physique potion?" After hearing this, Little Jones showed a shocked expression on his face, and immediately confirmed: "Is it the kind of physical potion that the Dodd Group publicly displayed that day that can turn an ordinary person into a super warrior?"
Peter also nodded and said: "Yes, it is that kind of physical medicine, and I heard that it is an improvement medicine without any side effects. I am already planning to apply for the job. This opportunity is too rare, but I always feel uncomfortable going alone.
I feel uneasy, so I came to ask you if you are interested in joining us?"
At this moment, Little Jones could no longer hear Peter's words clearly. The pictures that appeared in his mind were all the scenes he saw in the square that day, and an excited look appeared on his face.
Although the parade that day had nothing to do with Little Jones, the organizer of the parade said that any participant would be able to receive a sum of food, so he, who had just been laid off, also participated in the parade to prevent his family from going hungry.
Originally, he thought that the parade might cause some conflicts, so he had already made preparations to escape in case of chaos before setting off. However, what he didn't expect was that he was placed in the front row of the parade because of his tall stature.
When a conflict occurs, he will inevitably be involved.
However, what he never expected was that this massive march against the Dodd Group would end in an anticlimactic end. When the Dodd Group took out a bottle of potion and showed how to transform a thin person into a
After becoming an extremely strong super soldier, the anti-Dodd group parade has ended. Those who supported the parade all focused on the potion. Everyone in the parade who witnessed it was also talking about this
Potion, Little Jones is also one of them.
Although Little Jones has fantasized many times that he got a bottle of potion and became a super soldier, this was just a thought. He knew very well that even if there was a potion, ordinary people would not be able to use it, and only the powerful could.
Affordable.
But now his childhood friend Peter told him that he had the opportunity to obtain such a bottle of physical potion. How could this make him not feel excited?
Just when Little Jones wanted to ask for more details, the darkness outside the window disappeared in an instant as if it had been wiped away. The dazzling sunlight shone in through the cracks in the window and shone on everyone.
It made everyone feel warm and inexplicably happy.
