Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

"Oh, let me take a good look." A friendly smile bloomed when Zhuang Feifei entered the yard, and then paused on Zhuang Xuteng: "You boy...go to work in the field! I haven't forgotten how to clean it and add fertilizer?"

"Work as soon as you come back? Can you let me drink water?" Zhuang Xuteng rolled his eyes, reflexively trying to play tricks.

"My kettle is over there, brewing tea. You can drink it. Today, we will finish insect fields No. [-] to No. [-]. Don't forget to bring the kettle back when you're done, and close the door to prevent the weasels from running in."

Zhuang Xuteng sighed. In their family, status is linked to academic performance, so he will definitely be sent to work.Zhuang Xuteng dawdled at the door of the house, while changing into deep waterproof boots, while observing his parents with his shadowy eyes.The skin in the center of their backs has been implanted with shadows, and the texture looks good. It should be the "implantation for alleviating skin changes" mentioned by Zhuang Teng.

Skin cancer and other cancers are almost the occupational diseases of farmers in insect fields. Fortunately, Zhuang Teng has found a good job and can (barely) afford the related medical expenses. Otherwise, in a few years, he will not exceed No. In 40 years, they are bound to get some kind of malignancy.

"Feifei, check their health. I'm going to the field." Zhuang Xuteng put on his raincoat and heavy lead helmet, picked up the net bag by the door and set off.Their family didn't live in the town, but settled on the edge of the field, so that they could travel less and do more work.

Today's agriculture has long been a subcategory of industry, and the only thing that has survived is the title of "farmer".The so-called fields are actually some gray glass greenhouses, each of which is [-] meters long and [-] meters wide, with two rows of long breeding ponds inside.

The concrete pool has sent away several generations of farmers, and it is also full of scars.Large and small patches, from different periods and with different colors, are the result of bumps and bumps between cement and people.

If it hits the cement, it will break the skin or even break the bones. It will not be fatal easily, but the "growth promoting lamp" on the top of the head is another matter.This kind of lighting specially designed for breeding "mealworms" does not consider the safety of the staff at all. Its ultraviolet radiation and other harmful rays are just stuck on the boundary line that the human body can bear, and it has obtained the so-called safety approval.

But as long as the voltage increases, as long as the irradiation time is extended, it will definitely exceed the human body's ability to bear.Increasing the intensity and time of lighting is a necessary means to accelerate the growth of mealworms and improve the company's profitability.Therefore, all the mealworm farms are in a state of being fully capable of handling inspections and fully ensuring that they will cause tumors.

I have tried all the methods, unless I wear the highest level of isolation clothing and risk being heated to death by the temperature inside the house, there is no way to avoid the influence of the growth-promoting lamp.If you can't prevent it, you can only treat it. The treatment cost of hundreds of thousands of euros per person is a heavy burden for any family here.If Zhuang Teng hadn't stepped out of the farm and worked as a senior engineer in a well-known company in Peicheng, he would certainly not be able to afford it.

Zhuang Xuteng complained about "always making himself work", but in fact he didn't come here many times.Any parent does not want their children to live a life of inevitable malignant tumors after working for up to 40 years. They have shouldered the injury themselves, and they hope that their offspring can change to a safe environment and get rid of this fate.Zhuang Xuteng followed his parents to raise mealworms only when it was very difficult to find a job before graduation. This was only the "last retreat".When he got a formal job at the magic crystal factory, he was never asked to raise bugs again.

There may be two reasons for letting myself come here now - Zhuang Xuteng analyzed in his heart.One is that the tasks in the field are relatively tight, and I really can't stop; the other is that they have already known that I don't have a job, which is a disguised form to make myself explain the situation quickly.

21 The news of the closure of the Magic Crystal Factory was not kept secret, so if you want to check, you will definitely be able to find it.The parents were recuperating before, and the news may be relatively closed. After returning home, can they not care about the children's situation?Just make a phone call to the Magic Crystal Factory, and after listening to the movement on the other end of the phone, you will understand everything.

It is estimated that they are holding Zhuang Feifei now and asking her about her life, to see if she has taken good care of her sister.Zhuang Xuteng snorted, stretched the net bag into the pool, flicked it on the soft mud, made a clearing, and then stepped lightly into the gray-white muddy water.His job is very simple. He keeps picking up mealworms to see if their shape and color are normal, picks out the unhealthy ones, and puts the rest back. After checking, he evenly sprinkles the powder on the pool.

The so-called mealworm is a finger-sized white meat worm, chubby, plump, elastic, and lacks the ability to move.Its other functions are cut, only the ability to absorb, transform and store nutrients is strengthened.It has a feed-to-nutrient conversion rate far exceeding any other known organism, making it the most important food source in modern society.

This thing generally survives the sole of the shoe unless you step on it hard on purpose.Since it can’t hide or move, Zhuang Xuteng only needs to use a wide net to scoop it up row by row, look through his eyes, pick out the unhealthy ones that turn yellow, and throw them outside on the ground to wait for follow-up treatment. Basically, he won’t miss them. .

This work is very monotonous and boring, and the times of salvage and release are too many, which also consumes a lot of energy.Zhuang Xuteng regarded it as exercising. He worked from No. [-] to No. [-], and finally he was the last one left.At this time, the door of the shed opened, and Zhuang Teng walked in.

The two of them look alike and are about the same size, but one is gentle and the other is strong and flexible.

"Hey, are you wearing this too?" Zhuang Xuteng stopped his work, looked at the elder brother who was also dressed up, and expressed his incomprehension: "Parents asked you to help me?"

"No, I came here by myself." The elder brother pointed to the pool and asked, "Should I go with you, or should I go to another pool?"

"Go back, I'll be done soon. Why, don't you go?" Zhuang Xuteng frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and said, "I think you'd better not come down and make trouble for me. Say it on dry ground, and I listen."

"That's fine." Zhuang Teng put the net bag aside casually, he really didn't have the experience and skills in this line of work. "I heard you changed jobs?"

"Don't hide and hesitate, what do you know? What do you want to know? Just ask."

"Zhuang Feifei sold you out, saying that you are now a mercenary, doing the job of licking blood on the knife's head."

"Only perverts lick the blood off the knife head! I don't." Zhuang Xuteng said while salvaging the meat worms, "I also want to work hard in the Magic Crystal Factory, but it's not my responsibility if it falls! It’s pretty good, I’ve made money, I’ve made friends, and now I’ve opened up doors and gained a firm foothold. I really like doing this job, and I’m much happier than being in the magic crystal factory.”

"But it's also dangerous."

"The magic crystal factory is not dangerous? The magic crystal factory closed down, I almost went bankrupt, and almost got Feifei involved, isn't this dangerous?" Zhuang Xuteng's voice was very calm, accompanied by the sound of gray water churning, he said: "I earn money The money is worth the risk I take, and it can even be said to be far more. I have not wasted time and life, and this is already everything I want."

"Oh...you...I..." Zhuang Teng organized his words and said, "I'm afraid you will disappear suddenly."

"I'm afraid too, so I try to avoid it as much as possible. It might be easier to understand it from another perspective: Suppose I am a PCPD now, fighting gangs every day, with a PCPD salary, no so-called extra income. Would you feel better?"

"I'm not a fool. Such a PCPD is more dangerous." Zhuang Teng thought for a while and said, "But the PCPD has pensions and benefits, and the mercenaries are all on their own. In a short time, maybe they can..."

"I have more than 100 million in my bank card now, and there will be this amount in a while, and this is the settlement of my previous work." Zhuang Xuteng said: "How long do you think I can earn so much money in Magic Crystal Factory? "

The eldest brother was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, and said, "There is nothing more convincing than money, is there?"

"Of course there is, but I won't tell you." Zhuang Xuteng laughed and said, "To be honest, I was also afraid that you wouldn't understand, so I didn't dare to come back if I didn't make money. Now that I've made money, I'm not on the arrest warrant , not being hunted down, the mercenary industry is becoming more and more popular, and even received a commendation from the PCPD. I like this industry, and there is no reason not to continue to do it.”

"Okay, you convinced me, I can only say that you should pay attention to safety." Zhuang Teng hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Have you ever killed someone?"

"There is no need to answer this question." Zhuang Xuteng said.

"Well, let's just think that the question just now is my last naivety...but it's in the past, let's talk about the future. You have money now, you should buy medical insurance for yourself, and then make some safe investments to leave some for yourself. Kim. These things may seem tedious and uninteresting, but it is beneficial after all. I am afraid that you will suddenly have too much money and spend it carelessly."

Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while, then nodded: "What you said makes sense. I don't know how to spend the money I keep, and I don't know how to invest in banks. This is what I think: treat parents, if If you still have the balance or debts, pay them back first. I know you are stubborn, so just treat it as a loan from me without interest, which is better than giving the interest to others for nothing, right? "

"Who said I was in debt? Zhuang Feifei? She's spreading rumors!"

"No foreign debt? Wouldn't that be better? You help me find some investment opportunities, and it's best to get a pension for the whole family. Parents can't always fish for worms, which is not good for the body. And they want to be safe and secure. , you have a lot of ways, transfer the money around, make it safe, and find a way for them to enjoy it?"

"Hiss... You have a good idea. Let me think about it... Maybe there is an investment opportunity that can really change our family's economic situation."
