Chapter 7 Scrapyard

The scrapyard is located in the northeast corner of the tenth floor, almost across the entire residential area from the southern area where Hera's family is located.

Starting from Hera's tent, it took Jato almost thirty minutes to reach his destination.

Across seven or eight tents, Jiatu could smell the unique and rich smell of the scrapyard.

But compared to the "biological stench" of the garbage dump in the previous life, the smell of the waste dump is undoubtedly much more comfortable -

Because very few garbage such as fruits and vegetables are dumped, the "rich smell" here is mainly dominated by the smell of clay and metal.

At the beginning of every month, it’s “trash dumping day” at the shelter.

A large amount of domestic garbage from the upper floors of the shelter poured down from the pipes above the waste site like a heavy rain.

As for these dumped "garbage", most residents on the tenth floor considered them to be real "living supplies".

They will go out collectively on this day to break down the fallen "garbage" in piles and pick out the parts that still have use value, and either keep them themselves or sell them to the recyclers on the eighth floor.

Over time, the "waste yard" has become the only relatively stable "source of income" for the residents of the tenth floor. As long as there is no shortage of hands and feet, they can rummage through the garbage and have a dream of "accidental wealth".

Before, Hera would never have allowed Jato to come to the scrapyard.

Because in her opinion, the environment in the scrapyard is very harsh, mixed with various bacteria and viruses, and is a very dangerous place for the weak tenth-floor residents.

But Jiatu had no choice.

No "normal job" would accept a "disabled person" like him.

Only a job like the scrapyard, which has no threshold, would accept him without discrimination.

Even such a job is not that easy for him.

Because the scrapyard is filled with a group of guys called "Vault Scoundrels."

Just how cruel and ruthless these guys are, Jiatu had already experienced it not long ago.

.

Standing behind the tent, Jiatu was observing the entrance and exit of the scrapyard from a distance of seven to eight meters.

After confirming that no threatening targets were found, he followed the flow of people on "Recycling Day" and entered the scrapyard.

Today was the monthly "Garbage Dumping Day" and there was a dense flow of people. Jia Tu touched the wound on his forehead and walked towards the depths of the waste site.

It was three months ago that Jia Tu was entangled by the gangsters in the shelter.

At that time, he had just arrived at the scrapyard, and he didn't know much about the situation here. With the idea of ​​​​finding something to do, he had a conflict with a group of "shelter scoundrels".

He doesn't know the details of the scoundrels, and the scoundrels don't know his strength.

The two sides fought without each other's knowledge. Jato used the knowledge he learned from the suit's brain to twist the arm of one of their members, and they instigated a group of shelter outcasts to cause trouble for Jato.

.

Jiatu can compete with the top students in the training school like Hena, so it is naturally not something that ordinary shelter gangsters can compete with; and the gangsters who have failed in several attempts have gradually realized that they want to "compete with Jiatu"

"High or low", it is impossible to defeat more and less by relying solely on numerical superiority.

They could only gain some advantage by keeping a distance, taking advantage of Jiato's inability to move, and constantly attacking him with long-range projectiles.

Faced with such tactics, Jiatu had no choice.

After all, he couldn't even catch up with the abandoned children in the shelter commanded by the scoundrels, let alone the scoundrels themselves.

The two sides went back and forth several times, and after realizing that each other could do nothing for the other, they gradually came to a stalemate.

Until recently, the intensification of conflicts caused the dispute to move to the water room.

This triggered the roar of "Aunt Wang".

Jia Tu leaned against the wall at the edge of the scrapyard, recalling the whole incident and closing his eyes to estimate the time.

It's almost nine o'clock.

There were trembling and buzzing sounds from the dilapidated pipes above the scrap yard.

As the garbage pipe suddenly opened, countless large and small, shining silver or a mass of dark waste poured down from the air more than ten meters high!

The shelter’s monthly “recycling festival” has also officially begun!

Facing the dark brown debris suddenly ejected from the garbage pipe, the residents of the shelter around Jia Tu rushed towards it like desert travelers who had encountered nectar for a long time!

Even though his head was smashed by pieces of broken pottery, he didn't stop!

Jiatu looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned. He had never participated in a recycling day before, so he never expected to see such an amazing scene!

He instinctively realized that a "novice" like himself would never be able to grab a brick in such a crowd, so he couldn't help but stop.

However, the habits developed in the Lingjing system still allowed him to observe the situation.

For the first thirty seconds, he couldn't see anything.

But as time went by, he gradually figured out some clues.

In the entire "battle for supplies", there were a large number of shelter residents who rushed past the "glittering items" that had fallen to the ground regardless of their concerns.

Their upper bodies were wrapped in thick gauze, and they turned a blind eye to the lighter falling objects. Even if they were hit by the heavier falling objects, their bodies would only shake slightly before relying on their will to push through.

Although this recycling strategy is crude, anyone can easily try it.

So there are many people.

The relatively more skilled ones are the "advanced recyclers" who are simply dressed but flexible in stature. Compared with the previous "wrapped recyclers", most of them have their heads raised, wearing goggles, while avoiding

While catching the falling objects, searching for those high-value items among the falling objects in the sky.

Compared with "wraps", "goggles" are more expensive equipment, so compared to "wrap recyclers", "goggles recyclers" are obviously more professional.

However, Jia Tu soon realized that although goggles recyclers have higher requirements for equipment and technology, their attitude of avoiding falling objects as much as possible also diverts their time and energy, and may not necessarily be able to compete with others.

Reloaded recyclers recycle more valuable materials.

So, just when Jia Tu felt that what the goggles collector was doing was a bit stupid, he saw the "shelter scoundrel" not far away who was just like him, observing the situation with his arms crossed.

Jiatu even saw his "enemies" among them.

Obviously, they also noticed Jiatu.

But just like Kato, their main purpose of coming to the scrapyard today was not to fight——

But they are here to "hunt humans".
