She seemed to have a lot to say, but she couldn't.
Tang Yu, on the other hand, felt very warm. He had been worried for a long time. The big stone in his heart was finally put down.
"Your dad works in the flour mill, and I work in the textile factory. Fortunately, something happened at the factory today, so I came back earlier …"
Mrs. Tang kept talking.
Tang Yu listened quietly and replied with one or two sentences from time to time.
It was a 20-30 square meter room without much furniture. There was only a bed, a round wooden table, two chairs, and some simple daily necessities on the table.
Even so, the whole room was still cramped. He couldn't bear to let his parents live in such a place. "Mom, when Dad comes back, let's move out and live in a big house …"
"What big house? I know you think this place is small, but you can't compare the environment before the doomsday to now. Your dad and I live in this house. It's not small at all. You can just move in and add a bed. Don't be a waste."
Mrs. Tang said repeatedly, "You haven't seen those dozens of people squeezing in a room. That's crowded. Fortunately, your cousin has some status in the army, so he got us this room …"
Tang Yu gave a lot of examples to prove that he was really rich. Only then did he reluctantly convince Mrs. Tang to agree to move to a bigger house. During this period, he was also asked many questions, such as if the journey was dangerous, how did he get here, if he was injured, and so on.
Fortunately, Mrs. Tang was just an ordinary person. She had never left the shelter and didn't know much about the wilderness. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain his feat of rushing from Lindong to Luoxia in a few sentences.
During this period, Mrs. Tang hurriedly went downstairs and bought a manual delivery service to deliver the news of his arrival to Mr. Tang, who was still in the factory.
It didn't take long for the family to reunite.
Mr. Tang was the same. His black hair was streaked with silver, and his face was wrinkled with time.
Tang Yu's memory was still stuck in the faded photo. The two were still so young. At this moment, he realized … where did time go?
"Fortunately, it's not too late. I don't have any regrets in life …"
After a while.
Mrs. Tang said with a smile, "I'll go out and buy some groceries. I'll invite your uncle and aunt's family over for dinner and tell them you're safe. We must celebrate."
… …
… …
Outside Building 29, Elaine and the others were waiting in boredom.
At this time, Winnie suggested, "L-Captain shouldn't be out so soon. Instead of waiting here, why don't we do something serious?"
Playing cards with the three Carmen brothers, under their tacit cooperation, Shay, who had lost a large number of spirit stones, suddenly became spirited. "Let's stop playing, let's get down to business … Oh, right, what business is it?"
Winnie paced back and forth a few steps, her arms crossed and her breasts slightly raised.
"Although we may not stay here for long before we return to the shelter, according to the captain's personality, he will definitely leave some people here to investigate the situation. Anyway, we will have to do it sooner or later. Why don't we take advantage of the free time we have now to investigate the situation in Luoxia Shelter, including the distribution of forces, food, equipment, and so on?"
"Sounds good. Where should we start?"
Winnie ran her fingers through her hair and fell into deep thought. "This question, erm …"
Elaine, who had been to Lindong, gave a reliable suggestion. "Generally speaking, the Mercenary Union and the trading market are a mix of good and bad. It's easier to get information."
"I'll go to the Mercenary Union." Shay said, "I'm very familiar with that kind of place. The mercenaries are all talented and they speak well. I like it there."
"What about the trading market? Who will go? But we have to leave at least half of our people here to protect the captain's safety. "
"Me, me, me, I'll go."
A bamboo rat raised its hand, but no one saw it. It could only jump up hard to make itself appear in the sight of others.
Winnie turned her head and looked at it, shaking her head.
"You can't do it. How can you get information with your body? I think it's better for Protoss, Star and Moon to go, or let the Carmen brothers go, or I will go."
The division of labor was completed.
Shay hummed a tune and walked away slowly. Suddenly, he turned back, "By the way, when we go to the Mercenary Union, do you want to register a mercenary group?"
"Register? Anyway, it doesn't cost money. "
… …
… …
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually fell, taking away the last ray of light.
There was no electricity in the residential area of West No. 5. Only a fixed area of each building provided some services such as hot water. When the sun set, the entire residential area seemed to be shrouded in darkness. Only the orange flame of the kerosene lamp swayed, bringing a little light.
Building 29, Room 0327.
At this time, it was filled with a lively atmosphere. Even the neighbors had heard that the son of the Tang family had rushed to the Luoxia Shelter from another city.
This was really amazing.
Most people didn't know how dangerous the wilderness was, but listening to the sound of gunfire from time to time in the distance, and some of the news they heard on weekdays, the wilderness was really a man-eating place …
It seemed that the son of the Tang family was amazing.
Their family's standard of living might be able to go up one … or even two levels.
The conversations of these neighbors were full of envy.
… …
In the room, there was only one round wooden table, and dishes were being served one after another.
Due to the lack of kitchen utensils and home appliances, many of the dishes were relatively simple. Even so, the table was still very sumptuous. There was no shortage of meat dishes. The most special dish was steamed mutant mantis shrimp, which was the local specialty of this area. Only ordinary survivors had the chance to eat it. Even so, this table was still expensive. If he hadn't taken out a lot of spirit stones just now, Mrs. Tang would not have been able to buy so many ingredients.
Soon, his aunt's family and uncle's family arrived.
The narrow room was full of people, but everyone had a smile on their faces.
His aunt's family also lived in West No. 5. There were four people in the family. In addition to the two elders, there was a short cousin who was the same age as him, and a five or six-year-old cousin who was still a naughty child.
Because his cousin was a soldier, his uncle's family was assigned a 100-square-meter suite. Their life was better.
He knew it was because of the three families helping each other, especially his cousin who had a certain position in the military, that they could live a decent life in this difficult doomsday.
Tang Yu turned his head to look at his cousin who was sitting on the side.
His face was resolute, his hair was short, and his body was straight. This was his cousin, Tang Yu. Their names were relatively similar. When they were young, their parents called their names. He often misheard and made a lot of jokes.
As they grew up, they gradually contacted each other less. When they met again, both of them had grown up a lot.
While eating and chatting, Tang Yu was inevitably asked how he came to the Luoxia Shelter.
He could only respond vaguely.
His cousin was knowledgeable and knew a lot, but he didn't point it out. He just asked, "What are you going to do in the future, Yu?"
"Do what?"
"You can come to Luoxia from Lindong. Naturally, your strength goes without saying. But you also need to plan your future path and what kind of career you plan to do. Your brother knows enough about Luoxia to give you some advice."
The cousin put down his chopsticks and continued, "Hunters don't have to worry about not being able to find a job, especially powerful hunters. They will be recruited by many parties. Let me introduce you to a few general places to go."
"First, the mercenary union. You can become a mercenary and join a mercenary group. You should know this. The advantage of being a mercenary is freedom. It's up to you to earn more or less. But the disadvantage is obvious. It's dangerous."
"Second, the military. The military recently established the Ancestral Dragon Hunter Special Warfare Regiment. They are preparing to recruit hunters. Yu, you have enough strength. If you join the Ancestral Dragon, you will definitely be put in an important position. I'm also a member of the Ancestral Dragon now. I personally hope you can join the Ancestral Dragon. But I think it's still up to my aunt."
Sure enough, Mrs. Tang raised her eyebrows. "What do I do if I join the Ancestral Dragon? Is it dangerous?"
His cousin pondered for a while and said, "The Ancestral Dragon is a battle group composed entirely of hunters.
As long as they perform tasks such as exploration, killing, protection, and so on. I can't say exactly what to do after joining the Ancestral Dragon. Each team's task is different. It's dangerous, but the military's actions are meticulous. The degree of danger is much lower than that of mercenaries. The benefits are good, and you can be equipped with the latest equipment. The disadvantage is that you need to obey the rules. Freedom is impossible … "
Before he could finish, Mrs. Tang had already rejected him.
Tang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't even expressed his opinion yet. He even wanted to take his parents away. He couldn't find the right time to say it.
Parents are like this. They don't want their children to have a big career. But safety and health are essential.
His cousin continued.
"Hunters have great strength. They can earn a good income by doing some manual work. But of course … with your strength, Yu, you won't like it. Other than that, there are two ways: martial arts school and special employment."
"The so-called special employment is generally to be a guard for rich people. This is a long-term employment. In Luoxia, there's no shortage of people who have a lot of spirit stones but their own strength is not strong enough. But I don't recommend you to do this. As far as I know, the special employment industry is chaotic. The higher-ups are planning to clean it up. "
"Another way is martial arts school. Martial arts school belongs to a special force. Unlike the mercenary group and the Ancestral Dragon, they don't need to be in the wild often. The martial arts school is a place to teach martial arts or combat skills. Occasionally, the martial arts school will hold outdoor training activities for students to fight demonic beasts. At this time, they need guards to guard them to prevent accidents. This is also the reason why the martial arts school recruits hunters."
From this description, the martial arts school's job security was quite high.
Most of the martial arts school's students were not strong. The so-called outdoor training was just a game of catch and kill with low-level demonic beasts. For Tang Yu, it's not dangerous at all.
Tang Yu shook his head. He suddenly found himself in a ditch. He even compared the advantages and disadvantages of the various development directions of hunters.
No matter what, he was Great Lord Yu Tang. Don't lack money. His subordinates were like clouds. He earned millions in a minute. What kind of job would he want?
However, he hadn't figured out how to explain it yet. He could only keep smiling.
His smile revealed helplessness.
At this time, on the other side of the table, his cousin, Chen Xiaojia, was chewing her food. Her mouth was bulging. She said in a vague voice, "Martial arts, this is good. Fat cut … cough …" She swallowed the food. "Cousin, why don't you come to our Zhentian Martial Arts School? I'm studying in the Zhentian Martial Arts School now."
"Let's not talk about this for now. But …" Tang Yu looked puzzled. "Can I really learn anything in the martial arts school? The real hunters should be fighting in the wild, right?"
"Fighting in the wild is to gain combat experience. But in the martial arts school, you learn combat skills. These martial arts schools are different from the ones before the doomsday. Many of them have real skills." The cousin fully turned into a commentator. "In fact, the Ancestral Dragon also has instructors teaching some real martial arts. But due to the principle of confidentiality, I can't say too much. In short, it's hard to say about the small martial arts schools. But those big martial arts schools are quite formal."
Chen Xiaojia nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
She continued her cousin's words. "Not only that, not everyone can go to the martial arts school. You need to apply for a membership card and pay an expensive membership fee to study and train in the martial arts school. Of course, for some talented students, the martial arts school will reduce or even waive the learning fee, like me."
She showed a proud look like a white swan. "I'm enjoying the advanced membership treatment, and it's completely free. But in the future, when I have the strength of the triple awakening stage, I need to work for the martial arts school as a guard …"
Well, it's equivalent to a company entrusting a university to train a student, and the student and the company sign a work contract after graduation.
Tang Yu secretly thought about it.
This was the martial arts school's investment in advance. It seemed this young cousin had outstanding talent.
Sure enough …
The cousin stretched out her white and tender palm. There was a yellow-black seed in her palm. In the next moment, the tender green sapling sprouted at a speed visible to the naked eye and grew rapidly.
"This is my special ability. I can make plants grow faster and control these growing plants. Even Brother Yu doesn't have a special ability."
She stared at Tang Yu with wide eyes, "Brother Yu, you're a quadruple awakener. Do you have any special abilities?"
Chen Xiaojia hadn't awakened for a long time. She was still in the first awakening stage, but she could clearly sense the strength of other hunters.
Just like at this moment, Tang Yu, who was sitting in front of her, had an aura like a bonfire in the night, burning brightly. He was stronger than Brother Yu, who was only at the triple awakening stage.
This was the aura simulation technique that Tang Yu developed for himself after accepting the Demon Swordsman's job inheritance and combined with the job characteristics. Sometimes it could play a lot of effects.
For example, if he didn't have the slightest hunter's aura and couldn't release it, it would be troublesome to explain.
Tang Yu touched his nose, "Yes, but my ability is special."
"Special? What type is it? Elemental, Transformation, Spirit, Solidification, or Special? "
"Well … it should be Special. Maybe you can call it Architecture."
