Chapter 96: Queueing up to receive things
Anjiu walked into the mine carrying his tools, working without distraction, concentrating on absorbing the crystal core.
On the way home, she put on her hood and buried her face between her knees before she began to recall the information revealed during the conversation between the three captains.
High-grade mines do exist, but they are firmly in official hands.
From what the team leader said, every worker needs to go through strict screening, which is equivalent to being a formal worker, and will receive a formal salary without any discount.
What she didn't expect was that the administrator's status was actually lower than that of the workers.
Is collecting high-level minerals a technical job?
Without having seen it with his own eyes, Anjiu could only make wild guesses.
But what was real was that after many days of hard work, the space had expanded to one cubic meter.
Looking at the empty space, Anjiu felt a pain in his heart.
If it had expanded sooner, she could have brought home half as many supplies!
"...The clouds are coming."
Beside him, Gan Qi's voice was small and weak.
Anjiu raised his head and looked towards the north, without having to stand up this time.
The dark clouds were like an approaching army, covering the area with darkness.
The space connected to the earth was covered in darkness, and one could see how heavy the rain was just with the naked eye.
The wind blowing in my face was mixed with strong moisture and earthy smell, and it felt damp and stuffy on my face.
This made Anjiu, who had lived in the city for a long time, feel strange and shocked. In such a vast land, she saw the power of nature.
Human beings are indeed insignificant.
Outside the beehive, a deep and wide ditch was almost completed. Looking at the pile of fresh soil on it, Anjiu didn't wait for the car to stop completely. He pushed himself out with one hand, took off his coat while running and rushed over.
Ji Mo saw her back through the rearview mirror and wondered, "Why do you dig every day? What's the point?"
Ji Zhenzhen was busy trying to cut in front of someone else and had no time to pay attention to him.
Pu Huai lowered his eyes and looked at the running person reflected in the mirror.
She casually draped her coat over her arm and wore a black tank top. The fabric was tight around her thin waist. Her bones were still visible, but she looked like she had gained some flesh than before.
He recalled the counting sounds he often heard these days, and from the sound of it, it seemed that she was intensifying her exercise.
The two families lived next door to each other, and some noises could be heard clearly, even if she tried to suppress them.
Pu Huai looked indifferently at the figure in the mirror that was getting smaller and smaller. He watched her jump onto the slope and put handfuls of mud onto her clothes with both hands.
The soft mud wrapped around her feet, trying to imprison her, but was forced to leave pits.
She is very energetic.
……
As Anjiu walked out of the elevator holding the soil, he saw a large group of people gathered on the platform.
The administrator in the middle stands out like a crane among chickens.
He looked impatient, and from time to time he would glance down at his virtual watch, and then he would always stamp his feet.
"How many people haven't arrived yet? Give them another three minutes. If they don't come, forget about getting the tools! Don't come to me for mercy if you can't complete the task by then!"
When he heard the word "mission", Anjiu stopped, put his clothes bag under his feet, and followed in line.
When the three minutes were up, the administrator opened the large box standing next to him.
"Everyone line up and come to claim it. Each person is limited to one! No proxy claiming allowed!"
The line started to move, and the administrator took out a notebook, asked for the name, and then marked √ on it, and then allowed to take things from the box.
It is a net bag woven with thick ropes.
After long-term use, the original color can no longer be seen.
In addition, after being used before, it was stuffed into the box without waiting for it to dry thoroughly, and now it has an unpleasant musty smell.
"what is it call?"
"Anjiu."
"An-An wine?" The administrator raised his head from the notebook, looked around her face, and then his eyes fell on the bag of clothes in her arms. "Wow, you have a big harvest today."
"Thanks to you." An Jiu smiled but did not smile.
There was no need for her to slap the other person in the face in front of so many people. Forcing him would not get her any good results. She could just get rid of him casually as long as she could save face.
The administrator glanced at her fingertips with a half-smile, as if he still didn't understand something.
He stroked the tip of the pen he was holding, "Get something."
Mixed in with the dirty braided ropes was a relatively white and sturdier net bag.
Anjiu stretched out his fingers and swept across it, passing over the obviously newer net bag, and picked up another one.
She turned around and prepared to leave, not noticing the administrator's disappointed look.
"and many more."
Anjiu stopped and looked back.
The administrator played with the pen in his hand, with the corners of his mouth pursed into a thin straight line.
"The two people who robbed your grandma's contribution points last time died at the bottom of the mine today."
He stared into Anjiu's eyes, trying to find the emotion he wanted to see, and then, perhaps, he could take the opportunity to attack her.
Anjiu looked back calmly, "Thank you for your message, but I think the fate of those who violated the rules of the hive has nothing to do with me as a victim.
"If I could have a full stomach, I might have the energy to be happy, but now, all I can think about is when the rainy season will come and when the next alms will arrive."
“……”There is nothing wrong with this answer, it is actually very reasonable.
The administrator was depressed, but then he discovered that deep in her seemingly calm eyes, there was a madness.
This kind of look is very common on the 48th floor.
It can be said that if you pick up any person and shake a blackened pancake in front of his eyes, you can see more superficial madness. If his vocabulary is larger, he can interpret more emotions.
From this perspective, there is nothing special about this An wine.
Dingtian'er was an orphan and a widow whom Pu Huai mentioned by chance...
Not interesting.
The administrator turned his gaze away from her, looked at the people in line, and raised his voice and said, "I hope all of you can learn from this incident and don't think about ignoring the rules of the Hive! Otherwise, you will end up like those two people!"
Everyone was sad and dared not make a sound.
The administrator was satisfied. He turned around and saw that Anjiu had not left yet. He mistakenly thought that she wanted to get another net bag, and said unhappily: "If your grandmother doesn't come out to get it herself, you can't get it on her behalf. This is the rule, and no one can violate it. Do you understand?"
Anjiu: “…”
Not wanting to argue any more, Anjiu took the net bag and clothes bag and hurried home.
After turning the corner and walking a dozen steps forward, she heard her grandmother calling her name in a panic, "Xiaojiu, are you back?"
Anjiu responded as he trotted over.
Before I even got home, I saw my grandmother holding the iron gate tightly with both hands. She poked her head out and tried to look over at me. She said anxiously, "Someone just told me to go to the front to get something. If I go too late, it will be gone. Please open the door quickly. I don't know how to unlock it."
Anjiu put down what he was holding and the first thing he did was to check the door and the lock.
There are no signs of prying on it.
She reached in and unlocked the door, used the key to open the chain lock, and then pushed the door open.
"Grandma, you don't have to go. I've already brought the things back."
