All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 156 Two Worlds
The walls of the inner city are still as magnificent as ever.

Although traces of wooden boards and iron sheets repairing the city wall, which was already covered with oil and dirt, could often be seen, the shadows cast still gave all those queuing at the city gate an innate sense of awe.

The darkness had just faded and the sky was just getting light, but a long line had already formed at the city gate of the South City District. These were workers who were "fortunate" enough to get some of the dirty and tiring jobs in the inner city.

Because of the difference in status and the high cost of living in the inner city, most migrant workers come in early in the morning and come back in the evening.

Moreover, although the gate of the inner city is very wide, there is less than half of the opening for these workers to pass through. There is a wider road next to it that leads directly to the inner city, but they still have to queue up and go around the buildings inside the city wall.

They will check whether they are carrying any weapons or contraband, and also check whether their bodies are too dirty. Only after going through the cumbersome procedures can they be considered to officially enter the inner city.

There were many women holding babies in the crowd, and pregnant women with bulging bellies were also queuing up and moving slowly along the line.

"Alan, you should have been able to rest for two days, but there's really nothing I can do, ah..."

A thin old man with snow-white hair and a frosted face was standing in line in front of Tao Lan and spoke with a sigh.

"I know it's not easy for Xiaomei either. This is her first child."

Tao Lan's pretty face was still a little pale, and her body looked a little weak, but when she looked down at the skinny baby in the cloth bag on her chest, a hint of maternal glow appeared on her face.

This job was hard-earned, and she and her family cannot afford to lose it.

"We'll assign Block 8 to you later. The work there is relatively easy. We'll come to help you after we're done."

The old man should be their team leader and made some adjustments.

There is a certain preference for pregnant women and breastfeeding women, which is promoted by all companies, whether it is cannon fodder points or work arrangements.

But, this is only relative!

"Okay, thank you Uncle San."

Tao Lan had a smile on her face. The foreman was her father-in-law's cousin, so he could be taken care of more or less on weekdays.

But the work has to be done, and if it happens at the same time as premature birth, there is really nothing we can do about it.

As long as she doesn't take over, there will be plenty of people who will rush to take over.

This job is safe and stable, and the income is higher than that of my parents. It can be considered a rare and high-quality job.

This is especially true for a woman like me who has ordinary talents and no other abilities.

"Sister Lan, how long do you think it will take for us to get a work permit like my brother-in-law if we don't make any mistakes? We can enter the inner city directly from the side."

A young man at the back looked at the few people passing by quickly in the wide passage next to him, his face full of envy.

Their ID cards are only valid for one-day entry and one-day exit, and they cannot even stay overnight. Occasionally, when they have to stay overnight, they need a note from above to stay in a multi-person hotel at their own expense, which costs them a day's income, and they have to undergo this kind of inspection every day.

But those with a higher level work card can enter and exit normally after just a simple questioning.

Tao Lan’s husband has that kind of work card.

After hearing what the worker behind her said, Tao Lan opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing.

The three uncles in front have been working for so long, and it is almost impossible for them to queue up with them. It’s just that there is hope hanging in front.

And even if she got it, it would be just that. Her husband had a long-term work card, but she had always been very cautious, fearing that she would violate any rules and be demoted. It made no difference whether she got up early or went to bed late.

Occasionally, when there is something urgent to do, I have to stay overnight because of my long-term work card.

You can’t sleep on the streets in the inner city. Even sleeping on a bunk bed in the worst environment requires 10 points of willpower for one night…

But just when Tao Lan was thinking of this, a somewhat familiar voice came from the side.

"Sister, I hope you are alright."

When he turned around, he saw Tao Yu, who had become stronger, looking at him with concern outside the team.

Seeing the younger brother coming, Tao Lan also looked a little surprised, and her eyes were smiling.

"Seventh Brother, you've grown taller. You were shorter than me before, but now you've become stronger." As she spoke, she made a height gesture and stood on tiptoe to touch Tao Yu's head.

When Tao Yu saw her elder sister's expression, she felt a little relieved. She didn't look very good, but she looked pretty neat.

Out-of-town girls are tough.

At the same time, Tao Yu also looked curiously at the little skinny monkey tied to her sister's chest. The baby was wrapped tightly in a clean blanket, revealing a slightly wrinkled little face. He closed his eyes and breathed evenly, as if he was asleep.

After years of adapting to the environment, today's babies are very strong.

When Tao Lan's colleagues heard Tao Lan's address, they all started talking at once.

"Alan, is this your brother with A-level talent?"

"He's really handsome."

"Does the boy have a girlfriend?"

"A-level talent!"

"..."

Tao Yu's appearance also caused a small commotion in the team.

There is even a tendency to spread.

The guards at the city gate came over and scolded him.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Be quiet."

The voice was suppressed only after the guards scolded it.

But perhaps he heard their discussion, the guard looked at Tao Yu and nodded, without saying anything and drove him away from the team.

Tao Yu also took out his partner certificate and said

“Can this be brought into the city?”

The guard looked at the certificate, then looked at the watch on Tao Yu's wrist, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed.

"Sure. Do you have an ID chip in your watch? Just scan it when the time comes. There's no need to carry this certificate with you all the time."

"Yes, thank you."

The guard's expression was extremely cold and serious towards the people in line, but he was a bit friendly towards Tao Yu.

"You can download an Inner City Notice at the door later. It contains some general precautions. Junior partners can enter the city directly, but if they don't have any tasks to complete, they need to leave the city at night."

"Ok."

Tao Yu nodded to the guard, then said to Tao Lan

"Sister, where is your work area? I'll come help you when I'm done."

"I'm not that delicate, sister. I'm already the fourth child."

Tao Lan rolled her eyes at Tao Yu, but after hesitating for a moment she spoke again.
"I'm in Block 8. You can come visit me when you have time, but you don't need to help me. You should spend your time improving yourself now. What's the point of doing this kind of thing?"

"Yes, young man, don't squander your talent. It's A-level talent, it's really amazing."

The third uncle with snow-white hair was also feeling a little emotional at this moment, with some melancholy and envy in his eyes.

Even if I have an ordinary combat talent, I don't need A-level. Maybe I can become a guard in a city or something.

Alas..., I am useless, and my children have average talents. It all depends on whether my grandchildren can show up with better talents.

It's a pity that I can't see it...
