Chapter 144 Just trapped in life

Most of what fell on the table was vegetable soup and the like, and there was a large piece of greasy food stuck to it.

There are also some pieces of white porridge on the ground that have been accidentally dropped and trampled on, making them dirty. These are all their work.

Taking the bucket, mop and rag handed over by Jiang Sheng, the five-person group officially started working under the leadership of the boss.

In order to eat, they no longer care about face. When customers leave, they will clean the table. Seeing more and more people coming and going, the store becomes cleaner and brighter.

Jiang Sheng was quite satisfied. If she wanted to recruit people, she could naturally choose other people in the base.

But the biggest goal of most capable men and women is to go out in search of supplies, and not many people can apply for her job.

Even if someone applies for a job, they are only the elderly and children with limited mobility, and the efficiency cannot keep up.

It's better to take these five people under your command, and they only need to take care of themselves, and they can also help the base solve a major hidden danger.

The five brothers were usually the little bullies of the base, but now they started wiping the table and mopping the floor in front of everyone, their faces turned red.

But face is not as good as food. The boss knows that it is not easy for the brothers to survive in the apocalypse until now because they are young.

They must not be kicked out of the base for resisting the base commander, otherwise they would not be able to survive the biting low temperature outside.

Su Chen intercepted the queue at the right time and no longer allowed anyone to queue up. The burden on Jiang Sheng's shoulders was also slightly relieved. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon after receiving the last customer.

On the surface, the five little boys seemed to have changed their ways, but secretly they were still playing some tricks.

While cleaning the table, he secretly hid a steamed bun, and when Jiang Sheng couldn't see him, he suddenly picked up someone else's bowl and took a sip of rice porridge.

It had only been a few hours, but they were half full even though they ate and drank in secret.

Although Jiang Sheng was busy, he was not blind. He remembered everything in his heart. At most, he would just settle the accounts later in the year.

All the customers have been cleared away, and the five-person team is working hard to clean up the stolen goods in the house, even to the point of not letting go of the gaps in the floor tiles. Their attitude can be said to be extremely correct.

Jiang Sheng looked at the young people in front of him who were extremely talented in acting, and inexplicably wanted to give them a big round of applause.

"Basic Director, can we eat now?"

The boss wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and swallowed.

No matter how many times he ate the white-flour steamed buns, he would never get tired of them. He could hardly stop drooling. He couldn't help but rub his hands at the thought of the big, fragrant steamed buns.

Jiang Sheng took out five plates of steamed sweet potatoes and potatoes from the space. They were very large and would definitely satisfy them.

The air suddenly became stiff, and the five-person group froze on the spot, unable to speak no matter how they opened their mouths.

"You're just going to let us eat this?"

"What if?"

"Why don't you let us eat white flour steamed buns and white porridge!"

"You didn't give me the crystal core, why should I feed you white flour steamed buns?"

"but······"

The boss has been waiting for a long time, but he can't come up with a reason.

Jiang Sheng grinned at them: "Didn't you steal the porridge from other customers?

Don’t you still have the stolen steamed buns in your pocket?

Oh, no wonder you look down on the sweet potatoes and potatoes grown in our base, I really feel wronged to you."

The five-person group was speechless for a moment. It wasn't that they didn't want to eat sweet potatoes and potatoes. They just felt that after watching steamed buns all day, they only ate sweet potatoes and potatoes. There was still a psychological gap.

"Can't you let us go? Isn't it too much to force us to work?"

The third child gnawed on the sweet potato in his hand and mumbled.

Jiang Sheng was sitting on a chair, holding a sweet potato in his hand and chewing on it.

"Of course I can let you go, but can you promise that you won't do anything sneaky again after you leave?"

The boss curled his lips and protested in a low voice: "Wouldn't it be great if we could survive in the apocalypse? What do you care about how we survive?

The eldest among us is only 16 years old, and we don’t have any powers yet. Is it realistic for you to ask us to go out and fight zombies?

It's hard enough for people to live in the last days, why do you still ask us to live according to your so-called good people's way?"

Jiang Sheng was silent for a moment: "You also know that the last days are difficult, but wouldn't it be difficult if you let your little brothers follow you to steal things?

When the people in the base look at you with disdain, don't you feel embarrassed in your heart?

Do you think it doesn't matter to you that some of them were chased and beaten up and their faces were bruised and bruised?

I can give you a legitimate job and provide you with three meals a day to ensure that you don't starve to death.

Isn't this kind of life worse than having someone point your nose at you and spit on you?"

The boss bit his lower lip and wiped his tears with his dirty sleeves: "You are the first one to really give us food.

Several of our brothers also looked for jobs, but they all lied to us.

The work was done for them, but they kicked us away and refused to even give us half a biscuit.

If it weren’t for the sake of not starving to death, why would we get together and steal things?”

Many people regard them as just young children and trick them into doing work for them, but are unwilling to give them half a penny of payment.

If a few of them refuse to leave, then they can be beaten with sticks and thrown out half to death.

After the end of the world, most of the people who commit crimes have their own unspeakable secrets. It's just that suffering has given rise to more evil.

Jiang Sheng looked at the half-grown children in front of him and waved his hands helplessly.

"Why didn't the security team in the base arrest you? I think you know it, right?

Don't live your life relying on the mercy of others, otherwise you will really lose your dignity."

She is determined to give these children new opportunities, but if they really don't want to, she won't force them even if she thinks about it.

Although driving them out of the base is a bit excessive, it is not appropriate to tolerate them provoking the stable environment of the base every day.

If the five-person group continues like this, the final outcome will be permanent detention, or they may even be kicked off the iron plate and disappear silently.

Lao Wu gently tugged on the boss's clothes: "Brother, I don't want to steal anything anymore. My mother told me that stealing is wrong."

He is just a 13-year-old child. No matter how unwilling he is, he can only give in to life. Having enough food is the driving force to survive.

The reason why the brothers didn't want to work was because they were afraid of being cheated. This time they met Jiang Sheng, and they found a good job by accident.

The eldest brother touched his brother's head and said, "Okay, we will never steal again."

The eldest son, who was originally gentle to his younger brother, turned out to be rebellious when facing Jiang Sheng, more like an adolescent child who deliberately did bad things to attract the attention of adults.

Jiang Sheng didn't care about his attitude, as long as he did his job well and no longer burdened the base in the future.

"Since you all agree, from now on our store will open at 8 a.m. and close at 11:30 p.m. every day.

Opens at 2:30pm and closes at 5:30pm.

If you make good time and go to and from get off work on time, you will definitely be well fed."

The five brothers nodded one after another, supported each other and walked into the cold wind.

Su Chen stood behind Jiang Sheng, looking at the retreating figures of the young men and shaking his head gently: "It's just that I was forced by life.

They have no support, so they can only huddle together for warmth, and grow a layer of spikes to protect themselves."
