“Hehe, Boss, are you satisfied with this one?”

The weather on the wasteland was known for its strangeness Although it was the midst of a summer day, occasionally the temperature would drop to subzero like it was the end of fall The thick radiation dust blocked the majority of the UV rays, which means fluctuations in the weather was quite normal If the cloud-like radiation dust would not drift away, then the temperature would feel even colder

Especially in the , the chillness was evenChen stuffed one hand into his pocket while he exa by hi Chen’s dad, but he just stood obediently there, waiting for Jiang Chen’s order

The survival caoverned by absolute freedom and a capitalistic view; the crystals dictated who had power Although he didn’t know Jiang Chen’s background, if he offended the custohtly on hi Chen was a man of status He took the recommendation froeneral er of a company called Fishbone Corporation Other than the leaders of different factions and forces, the two other prestigious positions on the wasteland were arms dealers and food producers

Both types of products were very lucrative, especially because the er feasible for production

As to why the company was called Fishbone Corporation, well it was convenient since the brand produced ht He even considered, after receiving a sum of cash, he would buy that co the production date

“…Zhang Tianyu, originally the vice president of Walkman Electronic Company, specializes in business adner of the Asia fa Chen cracked a s Yi, I need people who specialize in computers and can do soed to find h a stellar resume, he didn’t consider the vice president any further He didn’t need a person as capable of corporate strategy

He didn’t knohy, but it felt great rejecting a vice president His face maintained emotionless on the surface

“I am sorry Sir If you could please excuseYi profusely apologized, as he ran into the data roo Chen looked at the poorly dressed refugees in the ghetto as he let out a long sigh

The ghetto included so people who could work Usually, they would work in the factory area in exchange for some cheap nutrient supply and a small tablet of iodine They would continue to survive with the family in hardshi+ps until death

If they encountered any diseases, their background alazed at the radioactive dust cloud; the light that struck through cast an unhealthy color

I Yi hustled out of the data roo Chen He wiped the sweat fro Chen

Most of the resu Yi recently dusted thehly skilled tech individuals on the wasteland After all, the production of bullets didn’t require sophisticated technology Also, nobody would bother purchasing a new coh the resume as he raised his eyebrows occasionally

“Boss, are you not satisfied?” wang Yi asked anxiously, as this affected his commission, which was his only source of income

“There are a few people that are quite exceptional However… ” Jiang Chen pointed at the criminal record at the bottom of the resume, “…why are they all criminals?”

Lu Haitao, IT Specialist, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after stealing 15 nutrient supply He was currently working at the nutrient supply boiler as a laborer

Li Kaier, was sentenced to 17 years in prison for robbery, and currently worked in an a Yi’s face was full of anguish as he said with a plea, “boss, there is nothing I can do about it”

After wang Yi explained, Jiang Chen eventually understood Not everyone in the ghetto had freedom All the people that were traded as a product were people that lost their freedom Every person that received low-income support were the “property” of Sixth Street They were similar to slaves in ancient times Every capable individual was forced to work in a factory, and incapable people acted as population reserves ould serve as soldiers in the frontline For those refugees that are given freedoh most are poor, they can survive without any issues Therefore, they do not need low-income support

But those were the rules frohai City now had already established a stable “ecosyste space of the survivors Hence, Sixth Street was left with no external eneees

To alleviate the overpopulation problem, the Sixth Street officials also had to participate in the human labor business They provided connections for specific “suppliers” and used theees Mercenaries or ees as bait It’s fair to say that those people often did not end up in the best places No one wasted nutrient supplies

Therefore, the individual permitted to be sold were either incapable people that offered no value or criain because he didn’t want either type of people to join him

A terrible character would be difficult to control, but so

“Boss, you don’t have to worry These people ear electronic bracelets once they are sold Therefore if they do any har Chen’s eyes and carefully explained it to hih he was still worried, there were no better solutions Jiang Chen sighed again as he roup of criminals He just needed to be careful, that’s all

“010342, please stop or you will be shot ih the door as Jiang Chen looked in that direction

A soft body tackled his leg and he paused a little before looking down

“I am sorry that I overheard your conversation I know coirl spoke in a fast tone The emotion cast by her pupil transitioned between fear and desperation

As the tiny body grappled onto his leg, Jiang Chen cautiously touched the weapon on his back However, after he saw the soldier signaling hi Chen iun

The soldier grabbed the girl like he was grabbing a chicken Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows but didn’t say anything

Although he syirl’s intentions What if it was a trap by the Huizhong Mercenaries?

“I am very sorry There are always plenty of people that don’t want to live to see toized profusely He also irl back to cairl had a watch like ite If anyone who received low-incoer the alarm

“If she is sent back, ould happen to her?” Jiang Chen asked carelessly

“Put into a work cas like this happened every day

“Even a kid that young can work?”

“She is not that young Usually, only people above the age of 16 wear those bracelets She is just a bit malnourished Anyways, boss, who do you want to select …”

“I’ll pick the girl” Jiang Chen sighed as he irl that thin and ould die al Chen saw a lot of dead bodies since he came to the wasteland, he even killed soirl be taken to a hell like place right in front of his own eyes, especially if he was the reason Jiang Chen tried to convince himself

[Maybe that wasrare, but valuable
