Doomsday Cataclysm: Gods on Earth

Today's job is to stand guard in a leisurely manner.

As an ordinary part-time employee, Gao Yun does not need to stand in one place all the time to fulfill his duties.

The social structure of the super-powered era of cities does not require ordinary people to stand in the same place all the time and watch.

Since the use of surveillance equipment is prohibited, they are not so much employees on guard duty as they are personal monitors used to record what is happening around them.

Gao Yun found a place on the ground with sunlight and sat up within the scope of his post.

Different from the muddy ground in the slums, the training center, except for lawns and flower beds, is paved with a layer of indescribable stone slabs, which are clean and tidy and pleasing to the eye.

In the training center, you can see energetic, lively and lovely female students coming and going from time to time.

Although these students look harmless, in fact, each of them has a super factor in their body, and they can continuously enhance their bodies and super abilities through training and learning.

Just like Gao Yun before he got the superhuman talent, any first-year student could defeat him ten times single-handedly.

Therefore, not many employees here will communicate too much with students. After all, if they make the other party angry, a slap can really break their head.

Thinking of this, the corners of Gao Yun's mouth curved slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

These things will no longer have anything to do with him. He has already made plans to quit his job after today. If he can get off work early, he will go to the drugstore to buy medicine.

After finishing all this, tomorrow he should find a scavenging team and follow the city's wilderness exploration team to scavenge in the waste areas.

In the slums, there are only two ways to support yourself.

The first one is also the one chosen by most slum dwellers.

If you go mining in mining areas deeper underground, a miner can support a family of three by working. As long as he doesn't get seriously ill or otherwise, he doesn't need to worry about his family starving to death.

But even miners have screening criteria. After all, there are so many people in the underground slums, so naturally you have to choose the best ones.

The second way is also the best of the two ways out.

That is to become a scavenging team that follows the wilderness exploration team in the city. Compared with the stable income of miners, the scavenging team depends very much on luck and strength. If you are lucky, you may pick up items worth tens of thousands of credits in one scavenging trip. Use precious materials to change your current environment.

But if you are unlucky, not only will you lose all your money, but you may even lose your life in a deserted area. The level of danger is much higher than that of miners.

As for there being a way out that is not a way out.

That is to join a gang that is doing evil in various slums and become a gangster.

This kind of bully and fear of the strong is the biggest feature of the slums. In almost every slum there are several gangs, large and small, who idle around all day long, either tinkering with things that are 'forbidden' by the upper class or collecting protection fees from everywhere.

It was also Li Nuolin who had a lot of say in Slum No. 137 and knew a few people who could speak in the scavenging team, so he could protect Gao Yun from being extorted and bullied by those gangsters.

Time just keeps passing by due to changes in thoughts.

In the blink of an eye, afternoon came, and as the faint light on the work badge turned green, today's work was over again.

Gao Yun returned to the hall and found Lu Dajiang leaning to the side playing the game projected by the silver terminal on his wrist.

Judging from the solemn look on his face, he seemed to be very devoted to the game in front of him.

And Gao Yun was also watching from one side.

This is a MOBA competitive game like DOTA and LOL, controlled by brain waves. However, looking at Lu Dajiang's performance, he seems to be in a state of constant abuse.

It wasn't until Lu Dajiang's base exploded as he sighed that the middle-aged man noticed Gao Yun beside him.

Eh? You've been here a long time ago. You don't have to wait until I finish playing. You put the work cards on the table and I'll pick them up later.

When someone saw him being tortured, Lu Dajiang blushed and turned off the terminal on his wrist, feeling a little embarrassed.

No, Brother Lu, I won't do it after today.

Gao Yun put his work badge on the reception desk aside and told Lu Dajiang his plans to avoid trouble caused by the sudden lack of people tomorrow.

Huh? You're not going to do it anymore?

Hearing Gao Yun's words, Lu Dajiang was a little surprised, but he didn't ask too much. He just waved his hand and said, Okay, you can go back now. Pay attention to safety on the road.

There was no friendship between the two, and Gao Yun's resignation only made Lu Dajiang lament that he had given up such a good job. It was not that easy for people in the slums to find a job in the city.

After leaving the superhero training center, Gao Yun took out the crystal card hidden in his clothes and took a look at it.

1210.

The numbers in the crystal card represent the credit points owned by Gao Yun, which is a currency that can be traded anywhere in the city.

It was quite early to get off work today, and the pharmacy that sold scattered medicines had not closed yet, which surprised Gao Yun.

Residents in slums do not have urban status and cannot receive treatment at any legal clinic or hospital in any urban area unless they are willing to pay a large amount of credits to bribe those doctors.

In other words, in a corner of Area E, there is a small shop selling cheap scattered pills, which is doing a small business of selling medicines to slum residents.

This place is said to be a pharmacy, but it is more like a larger pavilion.

The surroundings of the entire pavilion are welded with strong alloy, which can effectively prevent others from stealing or other behaviors. Moreover, there are guard robots on standby on this street.

Inside the pavilion, there sat a sloppy middle-aged man playing a terminal game. Beside him, there were dozens of boxes of various sizes piled up.

This middle-aged man is the owner of the drugstore. This is not the first time Gao Yun has come to buy medicine. When the boss saw him, he said without raising his head: A bottle of blood pressure medicine costs 450 credits. How many bottles do you want?

450 for a bottle? Wasn't it still 400 for a bottle before?

Yes, but medicines are in short supply recently. Only patients in urban areas can buy specific medicines. After selling this batch, I will have to find other things to do.

The boss was still playing the game without raising his head. He casually told him the reason for the increase in drug prices, but did not lower the price just because Gao Yun came to buy medicine many times.

Two bottles, two bottles are enough.

Gao Yun originally wanted to bargain with the other party, but the indifference occasionally revealed in the other party's eyes told him that this was impossible. The other party was a cold-blooded drug dealer who could overturn the drugs sold in pharmacies and clinics. How could he be given a discount if it was sold several times over?

When the balance in the crystal card dwindled, the drug dealer also sent out two small white bottles from the kiosk, each containing 12 tablets of blood pressure medication.

After buying one less bottle, Gao Yun's mood became heavy. He could only hope that his outing to scavenge would go smoothly and that he could come back soon.

Take the elevator back to the slums, when approaching Huahua Street.

Gao Yun saw several people wearing lightweight exoskeleton power armor appearing nearby, and they were constantly dispersing the crowds.

Urban patrol team? Why?

An extremely uneasy premonition suddenly emerged.
