Chapter 35 - Kindness

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The place where the Remot lived was called Kadam. In the old era, this was a big city that could accommodate a million people. After a complete planning, the city has been built with perfect supporting facilities. However, all of these buildings were severely damaged when they were in the Cataclysm Day. Until today, more than half of the cities had been destroyed. From the sky, one could still see a crater with a diameter of around a thousand meters left in the northwest part of the city.

It was the scar of the earth caused by the meteor. It was like the mouth of a huge beast, showing its silent savagery to the world.

The Remot was slowly being rebuilt in this deserted city, it took up a small part of the east side of the city. After two decades of reconstruction and construction, the citizens of the Remot had not only built a living base underground, but had also repaired many construction facilities on the surface, including the water circulation system needed for survival.

During the day, most of the residents of Remot lived in the underground base. On the ground, there were only a few soldiers guarding inside the post tower, but at night, the temperature of the ground would drop to a suitable temperature, and the residents would be able to come to the ground to take a breather. The repaired building could be used for them to rest and chat, and the Remot had even set up a bar on the ground that was only open at night.

People can drink and talk here, listen to songs and dance, and relive the old days of wanderlust and passion. For many bitter settlements and bases, the Remot was already the equivalent of a heaven.

The Remot accepted outsiders to join them, it was just that it was located in the outskirts of the Mainland China, and there were very few people who would specially move to the Remot to live there. Thus, for the past ten years, the population of the Remot remained the same. Joining the Remot would not be an easy task. Other than charging all kinds of fees like the other bases, the Remot was also using the military recruitment system.

In other words, other than the children and elders, the official citizens of Remot would have their young men and women recruited as soldiers. Here they would receive training from the soldiers, and it was arranged that each person was required to take part in the work of standing guard and maintaining law and order for at least one week a month.

Just the fee for applying to the Remot was enough to cause most people to be discouraged.

The green car drove into the highway, following the special road dug out by the Remot and arrived at the entrance checkpoint of the residential area. A few soldiers with real guns stopped the car and the black muzzle was pointed at the car. Then, a middle-aged officer stood up and asked, "Where did you guys come from?"

Teddy got up from his seat, opened the car door, jumped onto the hot mudstone and raised his hand: "Hello, sir. We are from Darl. Our settlement has run out of water and can no longer be inhabited. Look, do you think the Remot still has the rights to take us in? "

The officer pushed down his sun hat and asked loudly, "How many of you are there?"

"Fourteen, sir."

"Remot can handle this amount." The officer nodded.

"Great." Teddy shouted happily.

"Don't be too happy too early, boy. Remot is not a charity, you can stay there. Each of you will first pay the 10 yuan temporary living fee. After you pay the money, you can enter the base. "However, you will have to stay in the temporary residence for a week to confirm that there are no problems before you can officially apply for a residence permit." The officer stretched out his hand and said, "If you cannot pay the fee, I advise you to scram. I don't want the soldiers to waste their energy to chase you out."

Teddy revealed an awkward expression. Dare was a place where resources were scarce. Teddy and the rest were staying there. Normally, they would have to take care of their own needs, and at most barter them. Therefore, it was very rare for anyone to have something like money on hand. On the other hand, Teddy actually had 25 points, but the 20 points was still a change for the car fare.

"Let's discuss it, sir." Teddy returned back to the carriage after he finished speaking.

After explaining the situation to everyone, everyone showed a disappointed expression. Even if they put all the money together, they would only have 42 points. This was enough for the four of them to live in Remot temporarily.

"Let the women's children in, as for us …" Jehan looked at everyone, and said bitterly.

Teddy walked to the side of Zero, then shook his head towards the entrance and said: "I think you can pay the temporary living expenses, quickly go in."

It was true that Zero could afford it. After deducting what he needed for his daily life, for the past two years, Zero had earned money from the quests. Other than buying equipment, he only had 230 left. Of course, he only had a little more than two hundred yuan left out of the twenty yuan he had previously paid Teddy.

Nodding his head, Su Yun pulled Lea along and stood up to get off the carriage. Honestly speaking, he sympathized with Teddy and the others, but in this damned era, he didn't need sympathy. But Lea obviously had a tenacious heart, the girl stopped when she arrived at the car door, her gaze landing on Zero.

"We... "Can you help them?" Could it be that Lea knew that even though she had some money, it wasn't much? Although her logic told her to mind her own business, she still couldn't help but ask.

He looked at her and said seriously, "I've already helped them a lot. At least let them have a temporary residence fee of two people. Even so, do you still want to help them? "

"I know it's silly to do this, and I know that every resource has to be put into the right place." Lea raised his head, his eyes filled with determination: "But we are not animals, we are humans! We're all of the same kind. If possible, help them. "

The girl's words made everyone inside the carriage quiet down, and the way they looked at Lea was very complicated. He was moved, but also respected.

After a moment of silence, Su Yun walked out of the carriage. Lea was slightly disappointed, she sighed, and followed her out of the car. Unexpectedly, she heard Zero ask the officer a question.

"I am a mercenary. I don't know if there are any missions in Remot that I can accept. The kind that makes money. " Zero took out a beginner mercenary license, which Old Jack helped him get from the Parkland after he killed the butcher.

Without a doubt, the officer recognized the symbol of the Parkland. Being able to obtain a mercenary license in such a large company, although it was only the initial tier, it was worth more than the Rank 3 or even Rank 4 license that was given by a small company.

The officer smiled and nodded: "As long as you have the ability, Remot welcomes the arrival of a mercenary like you. For the sake of this licence, your temporary residence fee is free. "

Zero took out 130 yuan from his wallet and handed it to the officer. "This is their fee. Now, let's go into the city."

The officer waved his hand behind him as he counted the money. The gate of the checkpoint slowly opened. This scene caused Lea and the people inside the carriage to be stunned. Then they cheered.

Zero went back to the car and pulled Lea back to his seat. Seeing the grateful look in the people's eyes, Xiao Budian said to Lea in a low voice: "You are their Maria."

"Maria? "Then who is it?" Obviously, a young girl born in a new era had never heard of the name of the Holy Mother.

With a smile, he did not say a word, even though he did not agree with Lea's sympathy. But in this cruel era, Lea's kindness was as precious as diamonds. It was this kindness that made Zero willing to guard it. Even if, he didn't know how long he could protect them.
