The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 782 A Deadly Joke ([-])

When he woke up the next morning, Bruce knew that he had to go to work today, and there was not much left in his 20 dollars. If this continued, he would really be hungry.

But is the job so easy to find?It is far away from the pier, so it is definitely not enough to be a porter, but to be a gangster, you need a letter of introduction. The gangsters must be sure that you can trust you before recruiting you. They will not recruit someone with unknown background.

If you are the son of a gang member, your parents may introduce you to work for that gang, or they may introduce you to a gang a few blocks away that has no interest in the gang they are currently with.

The gangs in the distance also accept such members, and some gangs even lack people, so they will go to the gangs that are farther away and ask them if they have a good next generation.

However, where does Bruce Wayne have a gang background?Without an introduction from an acquaintance, he couldn't even get into the gang.

There is no way to become an official member of the gang, but you can also become an outside member. There are many people like this, and not every bar waiter and security guard is an official member of the gang, and many of them just work for the gang. .

Bruce wants to be a security guard in the past. After all, he has an advantage in size and has very strong fighting skills, but unfortunately, the security guards in the East District don't need any fighting skills, and they need eyesight.

You have to be able to observe within three seconds to determine whether the other party is a normal guest, or a thief, a messer, or a spy of other gangsters, but Bruce has only been here for two days, and the only thing he can tell is the other party's gender.

If you can't be a security guard, then you can always be a waiter, right?Bruce found a similar job, working as a waiter in a nightclub, not serving dishes, of course, just cleaning and sweeping.

However, Bruce had a very handsome face, which led to some unacceptable situations always happening to him. He worked there for three days and met seven gangsters who wanted to keep him. All six are men.

He can't cover his face, the guests will think he is the kind of explosive man with a bomb, which will affect the business of the nightclub. In the end, the owner of the nightclub wants to introduce him to the strip bar opposite, Bruce can only quit. got the job.

It's not impossible to rely on face to eat. It's the best to be a welcome guest in front of the mansion.

Generally speaking, basically no one dares to mess around in a mansion covered by a big gang, but the problem is that the leader of the big gang knows Bruce Wayne. Just as he wanted to go in, he was taken to the highest level by two greeters. In his office, he was entertained with good tea and wine. Bruce drank a lot of expensive wine and went back.

If you can't do this kind of low-level work, you can become a skilled worker, right?Now gangsters are most short of skilled workers, Bruce does not intend to do any difficult work, because this will deviate from the original intention, after all, the knowledge he knows also depends on his excellent educational conditions, and ordinary people in the East District certainly do not have such conditions.

The job Bruce is targeting is a truck driver. After all, driving a car is not a difficult technical job. Most of the children in the East District will be taught to drive by their elders or gang leaders when they reach a certain age. Instead of specifically delivering goods, it’s okay to replace the driver once in a while for an errand.

Since the gang was really short of people, Bruce said he could drive, and they immediately sent him a truck and asked him to be responsible for the freight from the city center to the dock.

This is not difficult at all. A year ago, there was a viaduct from the city center to the pier. After getting on the bridge from the entrance, it takes less than 3 minutes to drive off the bridge to reach the distribution point of the pier.

Bruce thought, what could be wrong with such a job?It takes less than 20 kilometers to transport goods in the city. He doesn't need to take care of moving and unloading goods, and the gangsters also take care of lunch. Is this finally stable?

But it turns out that what he thought was still too simple. Driving a truck is really difficult, and things other than driving are even more difficult.

First of all, this truck is not employed by a gang. Generally, gangs in an area will use trucks in this area. Gangs have different styles and must be carefully screened.

Some gangsters like to overload, hold a gun to your head and ask you to pull more goods, regardless of whether you can pass the inspection, some gangsters like to carry contraband, and when they are checked out at the distribution point, the truck driver will follow suit trouble.

Moreover, if you are not familiar with the people at the distribution point, you can't find a good place to unload the goods in line, and there is no one to help guide the reversing, the efficiency will be very slow.

When other people arrive at the distribution point, they can jump in the queue casually, and then they can run the second trip. Bruce is holding the steering wheel outside, and the wait is two hours.

Moreover, seeing that he is young and has a fresh face, many porters like to play tricks, knocking on the window of the car to get a card, if you don’t give money, you will wait for the goods to be bumped and bumped, and you will be found by the gangsters trouble.

In addition, the traffic situation in Gotham has improved, but it has not completely improved. In most cases, once some traffic conflicts occur, it is common for a shotgun to stick out of the car window. Take it out and buy a gun and a blast shield.

If you want to park the car overnight at the distribution point, it is useless to just lock the fuel tank. You have to leave it guarded, or you have to entrust it to acquaintances. If you want to have acquaintances, you have to spend money to eat and make connections. Which country is this in? it's the same.

Bruce has been doing this kind of work for a week, and his deposit has successfully changed from a dozen dollars to a few dollars. If it wasn't for the gangster's lunch at noon, he might really have come to passively lose weight.

This is the case with working at the bottom. If you don’t enter the industry, you will pay as much as you do, and it will be the same for how long you work. Do some behavior that you may have thought very annoying before, and become the person you used to hate.

The four words of being forced to make a living are too heavy, and no one knows what kind of burden is on the shoulders of the person who said these four words.

These days, Bruce finds that what is more terrifying than violent criminal conflicts is calm, long, never-ending, poverty.

The people of Gotham are not poor, at least compared to other cities, they are very rich. However, this kind of exhausting life day after day consumes all their energy and energy, leaving them no time to think and dying slowly.

When Batman stood high on the top of the building and looked at all this, he didn't understand why these people didn't have the strength or the courage to break free from this kind of life.

But when he was deeply involved, he found that in the cold and rainy night of Gotham, the flame ignited by the anger of revenge could not even light a cigarette.

In less than two weeks, Bruce had the idea of ​​retreating for the first time. He felt that he had collected enough material, but there was an idea in his heart telling him that this was not enough. He hasn't hit bottom yet.

So, he can only set sail again, and he doesn't plan to change jobs anymore, because he knows that ordinary people here don't have so much cost of making mistakes, they don't have such a strong body, and they don't have such a strong body if they go hungry for a week. Fighting skills, and can run away when being troubled by gangsters.

Among all the sufferings that Bruce has experienced, at some point, ordinary people can only write a word with blood in a corner where there is no one-resignation.

One day, Bruce was driving again and got on the viaduct. When he was stuck in traffic, he turned his head and saw a familiar face.

The driver next to him was pale, with red lipstick on, and he was biting bread with his mouth open. Bruce frantically rolled up the window, but the driver on the other side had already turned his head.

Seeing Bruce sitting in the driver's seat of the truck, the clown Jack was also stunned. The bread in his mouth suddenly tasted bad. He took the piece of bread that had not been bitten off from his mouth and brought out some residue.

He lowered his head, picked up the dregs and threw them into his mouth, rolled down the car window, and desperately reached out to hook Bruce's car window.

Bruce turned the steering wheel to hide, but there was no room to hide in the traffic jam. Jack got out of the car window, grabbed the edge of the truck window with one hand, and knocked on Bruce's glass with the other.

Finding that he couldn't break the glass, Jack got back into his truck, rummaged around the seats, and took out a big bomb.

Bruce rolled down the window immediately, and he said, "Put that thing down! I warn you, my shipment is very important, it's an expedited order, and it has to be delivered in two hours. If you blow up the bridge If it collapses, I'll throw you out of here!"

Jack with the bomb in his hand was stunned again. He dug his ears and said, "What did you say?"

"I said! If you! Dare to blow up the bridge! I will..."

"No, I said the first sentence!" Jack shouted at him.

Bruce paused and said, "This shipment is very important, it's an urgent order!"

Jack turned the corner of his mouth down hard, and he stared at Bruce with gloomy eyes and said, "Why are you here? Why are you driving a truck? Why don't you stand on the roof of Wayne Building and blow the air?"

Bruce didn't want to answer him, and just as he was about to roll up the window, Jack got out of his own window again, put his hand on the window, and stuck his head into Bruce's truck.

Bruce rummaged around in front of and behind the seat, then took out a bottle of mineral water, and hit Jack hard on the head, but he backed away completely, and instead grabbed Bruce's arm and asked him, "Damn, why are you here? Answer me, answer me Batman, are you crazy?!"

Bruce took a deep breath and glanced towards the other window.In the traffic jam ahead, the road in front of us is still tightly congested, and the car moves forward at a frequency of every 5 minutes. If there is no accident, it will definitely not be able to get off the bridge within half an hour.

So he looked at Jack and said, "I'm driving a truck because I have to earn money, because I'm human and I have to eat!"

Jack froze for a moment, then burst into a burst of laughter. He looked at Bruce with his mouth open and asked, "What did you say? Say it again, this is really the funniest joke I've heard this year!"

"I said, I'm a human being, I have to eat, how can I eat if I don't have money?"

Jack laughed hard again, and kept patting the window glass until he burst into tears. Then he looked at Bruce with tears in his eyes and said:

"How can I eat without money? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Yes! How can I eat without money?"
