Chapter 210 Small Town Survival 5
After all, Zhu Yue had only asked Jikaila and the tally clerk about the situation indirectly.
What we know are fragmentary information.
The other taskers were aware of the situation and responded promptly, so at least no one was roasted alive outdoors.
The ones who went to rob the guns were two of the novice taskers.
The daytime in Tianshui town is as hot as a furnace, and it is impossible to go out. You can go out at night, and the climate is bearable, but basically in addition to the money for the hotel, you also have to pay for food and drink. The money everyone gets when they come in is almost the same.
Seeing the money getting less day by day, the tasker couldn't help but become anxious.
After interacting with the residents based on the introduction, I found that they were all very xenophobic and didn't pay much attention to outsiders.
Seeing the money getting less and less day by day, the tasker was anxious and dared to do anything.
Two brave but brainless players discussed going to rob things. They had not been completely idle these days. When they could go out at night, they had almost familiarized themselves with the terrain of the town.
They soon found a store selling guns and became instantly excited, thinking that if they could grab the guns, they would be able to have whatever they wanted, and maybe even rule the entire town.
I can only say that the imagination is beautiful, but the real strength is not great.
Two newbies went to rob a store. Before they could even utter the word "robbery", they were knocked down by two burly bodyguards in the store with one punch each as they sneaked in with their faces covered.
He was beaten quite a lot, and luckily the police came before he was almost beaten to death, and he was taken to the police station.
This was not the first mission for the veteran tasker, who had a lot of experience and just watched from the sidelines.
The veteran tasker returned to the house and discussed with his teammates.
"It looks like the security here is very strict. Robbery seems impossible. And I can't find a job. I have to find a solution quickly."
Zhu Yue cannot understand the difficulties these people are facing now.
Her daily life is quite fulfilling.
Shooting has completely been picked up again and even taken to a higher level.
I gradually became familiar with the tally clerk and the boss.
I gradually learned from them that the reason why the people in Tianshui town prepared guns and ammunition when winter came was because there would be a tide of wild beasts at that time.
All households have to send someone to participate in the hunt, so these weapons are needed.
And lots of warm clothing.
After work, Zhu Yue went to a store selling winter clothing and bought a thick leather jacket and long boots.
This cotton coat doesn't feel heavy and is very warm to wear, without affecting movement at all.
The staff in the store explained to Zhu Yue: "These are made of the fur of the spirit beasts in the beast tide. If you can hunt a spirit beast, you can use the spirit beast to buy these clothes on credit."
Zhu Yue thought about the money he owed for renting the gun, smiled, and insisted on paying the money. He did not intend to continue to borrow money on credit.
She found that the reasons why the people in the town were willing to buy these weapons and necessary warm clothing on credit were very realistic.
It is to give people more motivation to hunt.
Just like a credit card, it’s about a person’s future.
Zhu Yue chose to rent a gun. Even though she paid for the warm clothes, she still couldn't refuse to go hunting when the beast tide came.
According to Kayla, the tally clerk, and the gun shop owner, by that time, even if she wanted to take advantage of the situation and not contribute, it probably wouldn't be possible, as she might not have a choice by then.
When danger comes, being a lazy person is tantamount to seeking death.
However, Zhu Yue was not in a hurry. He would hunt if he could, and forget it if he couldn't.
Zhu Yue was getting to know the town step by step and making preparations. The new taskers and veterans who had not yet found a formal job were now very anxious.
It has been more than half a month, and I have already got the general information about Tianshui Town and its topography.
The heat will be over in a few days, and they will have to find a house with an underground passage.
If you wait a few days, you might be kicked out.
However, once leaving Tianshui Town, the mission is doomed to failure.
The veterans all knew the consequences of a mission failure, but the newbies were still blindly optimistic. They thought that if they left, they would leave. What would happen? It wasn't that they didn't want to stay here. The people in the town insisted on driving them away. What could they do?
Experienced taskers discovered these people's thoughts and mocked them behind their backs.
"What a bunch of idiots. I've told them clearly before that they have to live in Tianshui Town for two months, but they still want to leave and make excuses for themselves and refuse to accept reality. This is courting death."
Another experienced tasker casually said, "Don't worry about them. It's just a mission failure and they died again. They are already a group of dead people."
"Forget it, leave them alone, everyone has their own destiny."
Some novice taskers left, while others remained in the town. Seeing the veterans refusing to leave, they also stayed.
Zhu Yue also met some taskers one after another.
These people were actually quite easy to recognize. They were grouped together in groups, with anxiety on their faces and eyes. They were very cautious when speaking to people, and it was obvious that they were different from the residents of the small town.
The tally clerk whispered to Zhu Yue, "If these people can't find a guarantor or a place to live before winter comes, they may end up being hired by unscrupulous bosses. They will be the first wave of hunters on the front line of the beast tide, and the first wave of people are the most likely to die every year. But don't worry, Kayla will definitely pull you into her team."
"That's it."
After hearing this, Zhu Yue had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't say it out loud.
When the extreme heat was about to pass, many taskers moved out of the hotel. Zhu Yue guessed that, just as the tally clerk said, these people might have been hired.
No matter whether I can survive later, at least I don’t have to leave immediately, which has solved the urgent problem.
Zhu Yue has been working quietly in the supermarket and never says much.
Soon it was the last extremely hot day.
The boss settled her salary with her. She was very satisfied with Zhu Yue and said to her: "The supermarket in the underground town will also be open for a period of time every day. You can come when you have time."
Zhu Yue thanked him and said goodbye to several colleagues who were stockists.
Both tally clerks were laughing.
"We'll see each other again soon when we get to the underground!"
For some reason, Zhu Yue felt very uncomfortable listening to these words.
Although this is indeed true.
On the last extremely hot day, Zhu Yue discovered that the entire town was driving away out-of-town tourists. It was okay for some people who really came to travel to leave, but some were task performers. Zhu Yue couldn't tell which were novices like her and which were veterans.
Some taskers were unwilling to leave.
At this time, the person in charge of the town came. He was a short and fat middle-aged man.
"I told you that winter is coming soon. You won't survive if you stay here. Are you going to die?"
