The gentle sea breeze blew in his face.
Yang Yi walked briskly towards the dock. Every morning, he could buy the freshest seafood here. Now that he had a firm foothold in the Ancient Port, he could naturally add some meat to his family from time to time.
He came from the Economic Zone. He was not a warrior or a professional, but an ordinary lumberjack. During his daily work, he was provided with food. In addition, every month, the unit would give him something similar to food stamps, which could be used to buy daily necessities.
No one was worried that the food stamps would be counterfeited, because these things were all made by professionals. Although they looked like ordinary pieces of paper, they were impervious to water and fire. In the dark, they would even emit a faint light.
Money had lost its meaning. In today's order, [Exchange Coins] had become the main trade necessity.
Yang Yi had lived in the Economic Zone for a while. Since Chen Feng occupied the place, he had participated in the work. Although his work had not improved, because of his relationship with the elders, compared to the newly recruited employees, his salary had increased by 30%.
Every month, Yang Yi could get 100 [Exchange Coins].
All the seafood in the Ancient Port was very cheap. A two-meter-long hairtail only cost 1 [Exchange Coin]. In peacetime, the fascinating hairy crab only cost 2 [Exchange Coins]. With a diameter of more than one meter, it required at least an adult to carry it home. Its huge size was enough for his family to eat for three days.
Living off the mountain and living off the sea. Compared to inland areas like the Economic Development Zone, although the wind at Old Tang Port was a bit colder, one could use the cheapest price to buy delicious food. It could only be said that each had its own pros and cons.
But even so, Yang Yi still liked this place more than the Economic Zone. Because here, not only was there delicious food, there was also the vast sea. He liked the sea. He liked it in the past, and he still liked it now!
Yang Yi lived in the north of the Ancient Port.
The combination of wood and stone was hard for ordinary people to imagine. This kind of house with two halls only took three days to build. A ditch was dug next to it, and the water pipes were added to the home.
Except for the lack of a power supply system, in this dangerous land, this was already the most perfect home!
These houses were designed by goblins. That's right, they were short, dirty, and always liked to spit when they talked. Although their appearance was not complimentary, their work efficiency was terrifying. Their construction skills seemed to have been maxed out. From the design to the construction, a house was completed in less than three days.
Even some black technology was mixed in. It could absorb heat when it was hot, and maintain the temperature when it was cold.
In the land of the apocalypse, they had experienced the conspiracy of zombies, insects, and devils. It was already a miracle that they could live peacefully until now. Everyone, including Yang Yi, cherished this rare day.
When he opened the door, he saw a young woman sitting on the bed, mending Yang Yi's clothes. The woman didn't look very old, probably in her early thirties. Beside her, there was a two-year-old baby sleeping soundly.
......... to.......................... to time......
"Lower your voice."
His sister's gentle voice sounded in his ear. She made a gesture to Yang Yi to keep quiet and whispered, "He just fell asleep. He will cry again in a while."
Yang Yi's sister.
The apocalypse caused countless tragedies in the human world. Yang Yi did not want to talk about his brother-in-law's death. Now, they only wanted to think about the future.
"Why did you buy so much meat again? We can't finish it …"
His sister scolded Yang Yi softly, but her eyes were full of love. She picked up the pants in her hand and handed it to him, "Try it, it's already mended."
Yang Yi walked from the bedside to the table and carefully laid out the food. He said, "The foreman said that there's a big job tomorrow and we might be gone for three days. This time, just the reward alone is 15 exchange coins. I was afraid that you guys would be hungry, so I bought a little more."
Life required hard work.
Yang Yi firmly believed that through his hard work, he could give his sister and the little guy lying on the bed a stable and happy future.
In other forces, leaving a young woman and a child alone at home was an extremely dangerous thing. Because no one knew what kind of terrible thugs were around the family.
But in [Order], this kind of thing did not need to be worried.
Insulting women was a serious crime. Even if they were professionals, they still needed to go through normal means to communicate with girls. As for using force? Even if they had the guts, they would not dare to disobey the orders of their superiors.
In addition, there were patrols around. When the alarm sounded, they would arrive within five minutes. The reason why the residents had a sense of identity with this place was inseparable from the safety under the rule of [Order].
Working overtime was a common thing.
The Port of Ancient Tang was not small, but previously, there were too many forces here. Insects and beasts occupied most of the territory, so there were many places that were not developed. But now, it was different. The iron fist of [Order] crushed all enemies. The dense trees and the gravel on the roadside all became the work at hand.
Although Yang Yi didn't find it tiring, his sister always had a worried look on her face. She looked at her younger brother who was more sensible than before and seemed to have made some kind of decision. She said, "Shuo 'er, listen to me. You shouldn't stay here. The army is recruiting. With your ability, you don't have to do those logging jobs."
A soldier.
