5 Lived and Died in Their Motherland (1/2)

Morning came.

*Ring* *Ring* Ri*

The alarm clock on Long Yu's nightstand barely managed to let out its cries before being abruptly stopped.

*Bam!*

His arm made a beautiful arc before his palm precisely slammed onto the snooze button.

Long Yu slowly crawled out of his bed like a slug. He made his way to the bathroom and refreshed himself with a morning shower.

Not long after, a topless male with a well toned physique could be seen exiting the bathroom. The only thing that would ruin the image of his overall body was the countless scars on his left leg.

Long Yu was still a little groggy due to lack of sleep. He had originally planned to sleep early last night so that he could be well rested by the next day.

However, the swirling thoughts in his mind kept him awake for the whole night. From him obtaining the system to the revelation of Luo Xi's possible revival, everything felt like a dream for him.

Patting his cheeks in attempt to shake off his remaining sleepiness, Long Yu then put on clothes that were easy for him to move in.

Next, he ate a simple breakfast which consisted of a pre-packaged cream bread roll and a small carton of strawberry milk.

Having checked that he had brought everything he needed with him, he finally left his house.

'Xingshi's Appliances Scrapyard'

Long Yu looked at the words engraved on the gleaming metal signboard above his head.

He was currently standing at the entrance of one of Nanjing city's largest scrapyard. It took an hour long bus trip to get here from his place.

The scrapyard originally dealt with all kinds of scraps, including occasional small vehicles. However, due to the sudden influx of new and better consumer appliances appearing in the market during the recent years, things changed.

This could be said to be a result of Xingshi Tech Appliances company's technological breakthrough. Thanks to the breakthrough, it lowered the company's manufacture cost drastically. As a result, the company also decided to sell their new products at a more affordable price to appeal to the masses.

Within days of the products' release, they were already selling like hotcakes. Xingshi Tech Appliances company heads were all grinning from ear to ear seeing the amount of money flowing in.

At the same time, many households also started to get rid of their old and broken appliances to make way for the new ones. This also resulted in an overwhelming amount of unwanted consumer products suddenly being discarded across the country.

Before it managed to alarm the government, Xingshi Tech Appliances company quickly took the initiative to take over and build multiple scrapyards in order to control the influx of disposed appliances.

Therefore, many of these scrapyards that can be found across the countryhad part of the company's name in it.

Long Yu was here today to join the ranks of the scrapyard's many scavengers. These so called scavengers have to pay the scrapyard 100 yuan per entry.

After that, they are allowed to stay inside for the entire day, provided they don't leave the compound. What they are able to scavenge would be theirs to keep.
