In the dark and gloomy alley, the unkempt man was approaching the corner of the alley.
He held a small pistol in his hand.
This gun was given to him not long ago by a "good Samaritan" with Fat Baby Mask.
He originally wanted to sell the gun for money, but the "kind man" reminded him that he could use the gun to "make money."
Yes, he can use this gun to turn other people's money into his own.
But he still hesitated in his heart.
In the past few days, he had eaten all the food without asking for any money.
He knew he needed to take a risk.
If he continues to be hungry like this, he will become a corpse lying on the roadside like many Homeless Mans he has seen.
He held the handle of the gun with difficulty, poked his head out little by little, and looked at the street outside the alley.
This is a deserted street. A well-dressed modern girl is carrying an expensive-looking bag, playing with a tablet and walking towards this direction with her head lowered.
She must have many valuable things on her.
This thought arose in the man's mind.
This woman seems to be the most suitable prey.
He's been waiting here for a long time, and is either too strong or doesn't look like he has much money.
The man tightened his grip on the gun and took a deep breath, mentally assessing the woman's speed.
However, just when he expected the woman to reach the entrance of the alley and was about to rush out, two Homeless Man ran past the other end of the alley, shouting loudly as they ran, "Hurry up, Nolanka Group is recruiting workers over there. If you apply, you will be given food directly."
Nolanka Group? For food?
The man was stunned.
And in this stunned moment, the well-dressed girl had already passed by the alley.
The man glanced at the girl's back and then at the gun in his hand. He hesitated, put the gun away, and chased her in the direction in which the two Homeless Mans had just run away.
Under normal circumstances, companies will not recruit Homeless Man, but judging from the excitement of the two Homeless Man just now, it seems that this time it is a little different.
Not long after the man ran along the street, he saw a long queue at the end of another intersecting street.
The team was basically filled with ragged Homeless Man. They were gathered around, whispering and talking about something.
Some security guards wearing Nolanka Group uniforms are maintaining Order.
Next to it was a sign saying "If you want to be hired, line up here".
The man thought for a moment and originally wanted to ask the security guard, but he just stretched out his hand and subconsciously took it back.
The security guards at Nolanka Group he met before always drove him away, leaving many bad memories, which made him afraid of the security guards.
But this time the security didn't drive him away, they just maintained the queue Order, and often caught people who jumped in line.
The men lined up quietly like this until the people in front of them all left one by one.
After an unknown amount of time, just when the man felt that he was too hungry and had no energy left, he finally reached the front of the queue.
A middle-aged clerk with a cold face was asking for everyone's information. He glanced at the man and said, "Name."
"Maro... Sir, I would like to ask, what kind of job recruitment is here?"
the man asked cautiously.
The clerk looked up at him, and while editing the information, he said slowly, "Construction site laborer."
"Ah..."
The man was stunned, Kaya City's laborers basically had to work at high intensity for more than ten hours. His small body was unable to work as a laborer after not eating for so long. He would probably die on the construction site within two days of working.
The clerk seemed to have guessed the man's worries, or maybe he had seen too much. He quickly and impatiently added,
"When you sign up, you will get a meal for free. After you have eaten and rested, you will go to work to see what kind of position you are suitable for. Working hours range from six to eight hours. Overtime is not allowed."
The man opened his mouth and wanted to ask something else, but before he could ask anything.
The clerk immediately said in a flurry, "The work includes room and board, a dormitory, and meal coupons. In addition to room and board, the weekly salary is above 100 Federal Coins, or an equivalent amount of material exchange vouchers, depending on your working hours and job. You have one day off per week. There is a free bathhouse in the dormitory, basic social insurance and medical insurance are included, and you will be given two sets of work clothes for washing."
As long as you sign up, you can basically be admitted, and there will be a three-month trial period after joining. "
After speaking, the clerk raised his head and glanced at him, "Any questions? You can bring your family members if you have them. Priority will be given to those who don't have a job. Those with children at home can enjoy the group's interest-free loan schooling policy. The family will not be accommodated together, but we can provide you with family accommodation vouchers. You can only rent apartments under the group."
This remuneration condition is actually not particularly good, but for Homeless Man who has been unable to find a job, it is equivalent to giving them a chance to survive.
Instead of having a higher weekly salary, it is directly converted to include food and accommodation, which means that some bankrupts can also guarantee a basic life, and will not have all their income directly transferred by the bank to repay debts like other jobs.
The man didn't react for a moment and froze on the spot.
"Any more questions?"
The clerk knocked on the table impatiently.
"No more, no more."
The man shook his head quickly.
"If it's gone, just sign your name."
The clerk clicked on the computer, and a contract signing interface was displayed on the desktop in front of the man.
The man was in a daze until he finished signing and was led to the entry procedures by the staff.
He didn't expect that he could find a job that would provide him with food and shelter so easily.
When he was looking for a job in the past, his bosses would either kick him out because he was a homeless person, or they would only give him a very low salary, without buying any insurance or signing a contract. The little income was often not enough for him to pay the deposit for a rental apartment, so he could only stay in hotels with high prices based on daily rates.
Most of his income will be transferred by the bank to repay the loans he owed before, and the remaining money will not be enough for him to eat.
With no place to keep out the cold and no food to eat, his health became worse and worse. His poor health made it more difficult for him to find a job.
But now the goods cannot be sold, many factories have laid off workers, there are fewer and fewer jobs, and competition is getting bigger and bigger. It is increasingly difficult for him to find even a temporary job.
He always thought that one day he would die silently on the side of the street, and his body would be thrown into the incinerator like garbage along with other Homeless Mans who had frozen to death on the street.
But at this moment.
The man glanced at the registration card issued to him by Intelligent Robot, who had just guided him.
Times seem to be getting better.
There is light on the road ahead.

"Dawn City The next mayor Christos made his first public appearance after the election. He stated that he would implement a series of reform policies after taking office to suppress consortiums and improve workers' treatment."
"The Dawn City Mayor Election process has been basically completed. Christos is confirmed as the next mayor of Dawn City. Congratulations to Federal President.
According to Dawn City tradition, the next mayor will be sworn in at the beginning of February next year. During the more than a month between the end of the election and the swearing-in, the current mayor will gradually transfer power to the next mayor and his governing team. "
News bulletins were being played on the TV, but the silver-haired Old Man had no intention of paying attention to these news. He looked at the doctor in pure white clothes in front of him and asked in a low voice,
"Doctor Ike, is there nothing you can do?"
"Mr. Dannylo," Doctor Ike shook his head, "Even if we use Sealed Item to restore Vian Sir's body, his soul has dissipated, leaving only a body. He will never wake up, and this body will slowly die."
Danny fell into a brief silence.
He looked through the thick glass at the young man with closed eyes lying on the operating table.
Then he paused for a moment and said softly,
"Is there any way to keep this body active? Maybe there will be a treatment in the future. You can pay any price. You Life Goddess Church will gain the friendship of Nolanka Group."
"The dead cannot be resurrected... Even if there is such a method, you can't guarantee whether 'he' will mutate into a monster during this period of time."
Ek wanted to say something more, but looking at Old Man's firm eyes, he finally sighed slowly,
"I have a junior student in the medical school. He is very talented and likes to study these taboo things. He once discussed with me the method of keeping people in a state of dying, but I have not contacted him for a long time. I can only try to contact him. Now I can use freezing Hibernation Pod to maintain the vital characteristics of Vian Sir."
"If there's anything you need Nolanka Group to do, just ask."
Danny said immediately.
"Okay," Ek nodded lightly. He also knew that now was not the time to refuse, "I'll see if I can contact him now. Some of my classmates should still have his contact information. I heard that he went to Dawn City."
"What's his name? Nolanka Group also has a branch in Dawn City."
Old Man asked immediately.
"His name is..." Ek rummaged around and found a photo of a man who looked a little sick, and handed it to Old Butler, "Roger."

Dawn City
"The sunshine is so nice today."
Igarie held the teacup and looked out the window at the afternoon sunshine.
"Yeah."
Selina leaned on the soft sofa and nodded gently.
After jointly participating in the investigation of the mayor's foster care of Exotic Beast, the two got in touch and gradually became friends.
"Annie went to school today?"
Selina looked at the news of Christos being interviewed on the screen in the building opposite and asked softly.
Igarie seemed to have remembered something and smiled softly, "The first batch of children have entered school. They are now in preparatory school. She is going to teach the children. I will go tomorrow."
"That's great."
Selina also picked up the tea. It seemed that she had not had such a leisurely afternoon for a long time.
"By the way, have you heard about Kaya City?" Igarie suddenly said,
"Nolanka Group, who controls Kaya City, seems to be having an internal fight. Some directors colluded with Church of the God of Chaos and tried to assassinate the current Chairman of the Board. A fierce fight broke out between the two parties near the city center."
"I haven't heard of it..."
Selina shook his head.
"Really? Then you've been really busy recently," Igarie put down the teacup. "I heard that Nolanka Group Chairman of the Board is very handsome and a good man. He has taken many measures that benefit the lower-level workers. He now has monopoly power and seems to be implementing some reforms."
"That's great."
Selina took a sip of tea and looked at the light outside the window.
The world is slowly changing.
