Juliana’s workshop Chapter 6: Go down
“Got your luck?” Juliet asked.
” Anyway, you don’t need money, right. You can get something without any risk, even if it’s a stone, try to see if it’s valuable…Of course, it’s ridiculous to find something valuable in a stone So I won’t pick up rocks and hide like other kids.” Lei smiled at Julius. Although there are some flukes, there is nothing wrong with Lei’s thoughts, and Julius understands it. Even if there is only such a small amount of value, it cannot be discarded. This is Lei’s survival rule; then, life is more valuable than everything, even if it is gold, it cannot be exchanged.
In Rat Road, where human lives are not very valuable, Lei’s ideas don’t seem to match Rat Road, but this may be one of the reasons why she can survive in Rat Road.
“The nose will break down in this place, please leave.” Lei said to Julius. The room was indeed full of pungent odors. This was a product of the sewer. Neither Julius nor Lei knew what it was, but the odor came from the tattered metal and the black liquid adhering to the gears. Those liquids have become gelatinous, it is very difficult to get them off the metal, and some can be ignited. This liquid is very similar to the grease used in torches, but regardless of the smell and touch, it is definitely not animal fat. Now Lei’s face also had a few traces of these grease-like black liquids, which looked like a claw mark had been printed on her face.
Lei covered her face with her sleeves and left the room where the garbage was piled. Julius followed her and left here together. “Where are we going today?” Julius asked. Lei, who was walking in the front, replied: “The places I usually go to are not too rags to pick up. Let’s go to a place further down. The safe places are occupied by the guys who hug and keep warm. If you quarrel with them, there is no benefit. No… and there are no valuable things left in the safe place for a long time, they are all strange things that are impossible to move back to the rat road.”
“If there are too many people, you might be able to move back… at least part of it.” Julius said. By moving back a part, it means destroying it first, and then bringing back what was removed. . It is not a wise thing to do this, because most of the time you only get a pile of rotten metal and gears without gears at all. This is the same as an animal can only wait for death after it has no teeth, and without the gear of “teeth”, it is just a piece of **** at all.
“There is so much **** in the junkyard for no reason.” Lei turned her head and smiled mockingly at Julius, “Maybe I can take down a whole thing, it might sell some money… although I don’t know. What is the use of that stuff, but someone will always buy it. After all, it is a complete thing. The complete thing will always be a little attractive and arouse the interest of others.”
Julius agrees with Lei’s statement. Sometimes he thinks Lei can always say something interesting, and that’s how it is now. If Julius were still at Lei’s age, he would definitely not be able to say something that sounded a little bit philosophical, and he would only say dreams about being a hero.
”Let’s go to the sewer from the entrance of the garbage dump.” Lei said to Julius, which made Julius frowned, “Isn’t there an entrance fee over there?”
There are many entrances and exits to the sewers going down the rat road, but not all of them are safe. Some passages are too narrow, some are unstable, and seem to be in danger of collapsing at any time, and some do not climb until the end. I found that it was just a dead end, and I couldn’t go down at all… and those spacious and safe passages were guarded by people, and some entrance fees were needed to pass through.
“I won’t waste this kind of money.” Lei said to Julius, with a triumphant smile on her face. “But this time we don’t need an entrance fee, so we can go down safely.”
Lei walked ahead and led the way, Julius followed her, and soon came to the dump.
The garbage dump is located in one of the branch roads of the mouse road. This branch road is probably the most spacious branch space in this section of the mouse road, but when someone comes to this place, it is impossible to have this empty space. The feeling of wide space. Not because it is too small, but because the waste fills the place.
A large amount of waste metal that has no apparent purpose, was smashed out of a hollow sphere, and bent into several sections of iron pipes… The hill where the buds were collected was magnified dozens of times, and it leaned out here. , It became a garbage dump. If there is any difference between this place and the place of Lei, it is that there is a smell here, which is disgusting, like the smell of leftovers and human excrement mixed together, and the pungent smell of the black gelatinous substance, The same is here. The smell made Julius and Lei both cover their noses and mouths. This place is undoubtedly worthy of the name of the garbage dump. There are all kinds of sticky and unknown objects in the metal garbage. It is obviously not metal or something. I am afraid that other things have been squeezed into the metal garbage. As for What those are, neither Lei nor Julius is interested in knowing. It is better for mental health if you don’t think about the remains of what you have turned out.
Although it is a mountain of rubbish, there is a small path for people to walk around. On the garbage mountains on both sides, there are people in rags digging through the garbage, hoping to find some valuable things. Such a move is not in vain, because digging through the garbage in the garbage dump is like gambling. The gambler never knows whether he is digging out a piece of worthless rotten iron, or it may be caught in metal or that. Disgusting gems in viscous liquid. Of course, turning out a gem is just a dream. Even if a gem is turned out, it is probably lifeless.
Lei continued to walk ahead, Julius behind her, avoiding the trash rolling down the trash mountain on the side, and the sharp things under the trash. If he was not careful about the sharp metal edges, strange spikes and glass shards, his feet would probably be scratched with blood.
The two came to the end of the garbage dump. This is not a dead end. There is a hole in the darkness, and there is no way to see what is in the depths. This is indeed the end of the garbage dump and the end of the rat road, but it is the entrance and starting point of another place-a passage that can go down to the sewer.
At the edge of this hole, there are two men who are fairly well dressed and equipped, with leather armor and weapons on their bodies. Compared with other scavengers, there is a clear difference. The two leaned against the entrance of the cave and chatted face to face. After seeing Lei and Julius, they didn’t have much reaction, and they made an effort at the entrance of the cave, “Go ahead.”
The two walked over like this, but when Lei passed by, she took a bag from one of the men. The passage was not straight to the front. After the two of them walked for a while, the road under their feet began to **** slightly downwards. Julius, with a suitcase on his back, took out the grease-soaked torch and lit it with a match. A light appeared in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings and the front. There is nothing in the narrow passage, only drops of water dripping from above.
At this time, Julius finally asked Lei, “What is that they gave you? I don’t think it is money.”
“Of course it’s not money, and they can’t possibly have such a big bag of coins.” Lei replied, then shook the bag in her hand, and there was a sound inside. It doesn’t sound like the rubbing of coins, it’s more like stones colliding with each other. “A whole bag of marker stones.” Lei said.
Hearing this~ IndoMTL.com~ Julius suddenly realized, “So, this is how you can get from a safe passage to the sewer without an entrance fee. You have to find a new one in the sewer for them. Roads, roads leading to deeper areas.”
Lei smiled at Julius, “The narrow passage we have been using seems to be about to be unable to hold up, and is about to collapse. For safety, we still don’t want to go to the mouse hole. I didn’t plan to use this instead. Those who qualify for entry and exit can only do so. But we are at least the first batch of the past. If there is anything valuable, we can find it first, but it’s not that loss.”
“If there really is a new area.” Julius said, holding the torch in his hand to illuminate the front, and the water drops on the torch, just let the flame shake a few times, and there is no ability to extinguish it, “then risk It will also be very high… We don’t know what dangers will be waiting for us.”
“Yes, I don’t know what dangers are waiting for us.” Lei said, “If it were before, I would definitely not risk this kind of danger. I am a lone child. What else can I do besides picking up garbage? Protect yourself? But now it’s different. You show up.” Lei turned her head and looked at Julius, “With a powerful guy like you, I think I can barely survive in a dangerous place.”
Julius is a little embarrassed to be so exaggerated, “This is what I want to say, Lei. Without you, I would probably starve to death, or I can’t live here.”
”Every other, don’t be so polite.” Lei said, “We are companions.”
“Yes, we are companions.” Julius laughed.
Leaning on the light of the torch, the two of them walked forward and down, and their figures disappeared into the long passage, leaving only the tail of the fire.
