Chapter 9 No. 4 Ping An Street

Looking at the car with the Elvis family logo in front of him, Duke turned around and asked:

"Can you drive?"

"meeting."

Alyssa replied in a warm voice.

"Okay, then you can drive."

Duke decisively went to the back seat.

The overall shape of this car is relatively round, similar to the four-seater sedan Duke remembers, but it uses a lot of chrome decoration and looks shiny.

Alisa's car was driving well and very steadily.

More than ten minutes later, the car left the territory of the Elvis family.

As soon as he came out, Duke felt relaxed all over, and felt like "the sea is wide and the sky is allowed to gallop".

Of course, he knew that this was an illusion and the threat had not been lifted yet.

But no matter what, the first step to leave the Elvis family is considered to be completed.

Duke, in a good mood, began to look at the city of dawn.

This should be the first time he saw the City of Dawn. The whole city was gray and completely different from Elvis Castle.

The sky is gray, the road is gray, the cars are gray, and various buildings are gray. Even the faces of pedestrians on the street are covered with a layer of gray and dull.

His car with a lot of chrome decoration has become the most beautiful color on the street.

Only then did Duke realize that this was the post-war world and the catastrophe era.

...

"Young Master, it's here."

"Ah? It's already here."

Duke somehow fell asleep in the car, he yawned.

This is the end of a relatively wide street, with dirty and chaotic ground and desolate and quiet.

There are two or three-story cement houses on both sides of the road, which are covered in dust.

The sound of the car's engine was particularly clear on the quiet street. Several curious pedestrians in the distance looked here, but after seeing the black maple leaf sign on the car, they hurriedly looked away.

“It’s very quiet here, it’s pretty good.”

Duke stretched, then walked out of the car, and there was a dilapidated building in front of him, with a wooden sign next to it, and two lines of words were vaguely seen on it.

Ping'an Street, No. 4.

This is his chosen industry.

The space is not small, but judging from the quiet appearance, there is almost no traffic. In addition, this is the end of this street, it is definitely not easy to do business.

The Elvis family looked down on this place and could not give it to others for free, so they were abandoned.

Let Duke "find a leak".

Duke has no regrets, his purpose is not to do business, and he doesn't know how to do business either.

When I opened the shop door, a decadent smell came to my face, as if it had been covered with dust for countless years.

But what surprised Duke was that the electric lights here were still usable.

"There is still electricity?"

Buzz, Buzz, Buzz...

The incandescent lamp emitted a dim light, barely illuminating half of the house.

There were piles of waste piles on the ground.

The walls and ceilings are covered with messy graffiti, like twisted monsters.

The tables and chairs are so dilapidated that Duke has at least five or six years of history.

Duke had just taken two steps, and with a "click", he looked down and saw a big yellow black bone stomped into two pieces by him.

Duke looked at the bone and felt a little numb.

What kind of thing is such a big bone? Could it be a human?

"Young Master, this is not a human, it is the bone of a corpse."

Alisa spoke very considerately.

Duke was not relieved when he heard that he was not a human, but he quickly realized.

"Corpsy ghoul? Are there corpsy ghouls in the city?"

A corpse ghoul is a man-eating monster!

"Of course there isn't in the city, but some people will catch some from outside the city, some nobles like this thing, and some people will bring back the corpse of the ghoul for research."

Alisa explained.

“…It’s all perverts.”

Duke shook his head, but he relaxed. As long as he was not a human, he would not feel so uncomfortable.

Compared with the first floor, the second and third floors are much better. Although they are still very dirty, at least there are no strange things.

Duke estimated that the layer of ghoul bones might have been thrown in by someone else, and he regarded this place as a garbage dump.

There is definitely no way to live in such a dirty place, so I have to clean it.

"Young Master, please leave here first and let me clean up."

Alyssa spoke as if she knew Duke’s idea.

Duke looked at Alyssa's little body and shook his head.

"No, I need to recruit some people anyway, let them come."

Such a big house is obviously not enough to rely on Alisha alone. Alisha is willing to follow him and Duke to endure hardships. In Duke's heart, he is no longer just a little maid, but a rare friend.

Next door to Ping An Street, there is a place similar to a talent market. Many people are looking for jobs here. When Duke's car drove here, it instantly attracted most of the attention, and many people's eyes lit up.

Although the Elvis family is not as powerful as the West City in East City, they are still a well-known figure. If they can ask for a job in the Elvis family, it will definitely be much better than their life without a meal.

However, no one dared to rush up from the reputation of the Elvis family, but followed from behind from a distance, hoping that this big man would like to fall in love with him.

Duke only has three thousand dollars in his hand, although it is not much, hiring a few people is enough.

He was not familiar with these things, so he asked Alisa to handle them before he came forward. Alisa soon brought four burly men over.

Although these strong men looked fierce and had many scars on their naked skin, outside Duke's car, they stood in line like good babies.

Duke looked at it pretending and confirmed that there was no missing arm and legs. He nodded to Alisa and closed the window.

After Alyssa said something to them, the four of them suddenly showed excitement on their faces, and then left excitedly.

Back in the car, Alyssa said to Duke:

"Young Master, I hired them for a month, each with 200 yuan, and they will settle next month. After they went to get their luggage, they went to Ping'an Street to report, and I have given them the key to the door."

Two hundred yuan a month, for those who are not skilled and illiterate, the salary is definitely high. After all, this is no dangerous job, it is nothing more than cleaning, standing guard, etc., which is relaxed and comfortable.

"good."

Duke nodded.

He didn't plan to go back now, and finally came out. He had to learn about Dawn City. His understanding of Dawn City was limited to various "heards and stories".

But Duke soon discovered a problem - his car was too swaggering.

Cars with the Elvis family badge are simply rare animals in this place.

Duke wanted to go shopping, but ended up becoming a monkey.

"Hiss--What a heavy smell!"

Duke said to Alisa after drinking the cup of milk produced by the two-headed cow in his hand.

"Forget it, Alisa, let's go back."

"good."

Alisa didn't ask why.

But before the two of them could enter the car, a sound of surprise suddenly sounded:

"Oh, little Duke, why are you here!"

As soon as Duke heard this sound, he had to avoid it in a conditioned reflex, but the speed was still slow.
Chapter completed!
