Three Districts, Headquarters of Enforcers.

"Chen Ling, right?" After carefully verifying Chen Ling's identity, an enforcer handed him two sets of black and red uniforms and an enforcer's badge.

Chen Ling changed into the clothes, had lunch at the headquarters, and in the afternoon, he took an oath of office in the square of the headquarters, followed by a leadership speech.

This whole process made Chen Ling feel more like he was back in modern society...

Even after nearly four hundred years since the Great Catastrophe, some human habits have been passed down, offering glimpses of the shadow of the civilization before the catastrophe.

The only thing that surprised Chen Ling was that the "leader" giving the speech was not Han Meng, but another enforcer with two stripes that he hadn't seen much before.

"Where is Chief Han Meng? Why isn't he giving the speech?" Another enforcer nearby also questioned.

"Don't you know? I heard that the enforcers in District Three rebelled a couple of days ago...

It was that Ma Zhong, who ambushed Chief Han Meng with two other enforcers, but ended up being killed in return." "What? Is it true?" "Of course it's true.

It is said that Chief Han Meng was furious that night and executed Ma Zhong and the other two enforcers on the spot before officially approving any documents in Aurora City, and he even killed more than fifty enforcers who were involved with them...

Haven't you noticed that there are a lot fewer enforcers present today?" "Wow, killing so many people in one go, isn't that cutting off the arm of the enforcers in District Three? Is Chief Han Meng that ruthless?" "Now there are only two enforcers left in the whole of District Three...

One is Chief Han Meng, and the other is the enforcer Xirenjie on the stage; Xirenjie was promoted by Chief Han Meng himself, although he only has two stripes, his background is very clean." "But I heard that because Chief Han Meng didn't report in time and took matters into his own hands to kill people, Aurora City is very angry and may take action against him during this time." "So that's why he hasn't shown up..." "Ah, what a pity." "..." Hearing the conversation nearby, Chen Ling's eyebrows slightly raised.

He suddenly remembered what Han Meng said to him at his home yesterday afternoon after a long silence, "Whether you believe me or not, I have always been fulfilling my duties...

If you really think this world lacks justice, why not become it yourself." Chu Muyun's evaluation of Han Meng before was that he had a sense of justice...

Looking at it now, Han Meng seemed to have something after all.

After Enforcer Xirenjie finished his speech, he began to assign tasks to the new recruits and designate the streets they would be responsible for patrolling from now on.

Chen Ling, as the only enforcer this year who came from Frost Street, was naturally assigned to Frost Street.

After Han Meng cleared out the enforcers in District Three, the enforcer's internal affairs had indeed become much cleaner...

As Chen Ling thought about this, he walked out of the headquarters and headed straight to Frost Street.

On the first day of being an enforcer, it was necessary to patrol their respective streets, make the residents familiar with themselves, which was also a form of "declaring sovereignty," as per the enforcer's internal regulations.

Since he put on this uniform and walked out of the enforcer's headquarters, the passersby on the road avoided him, not even daring to make eye contact.

"Chief...

Would you like to have a peach?" An elderly voice came from the side.

Chen Ling turned to see an old lady with white hair pushing a wooden cart full of peaches, her voice hoarse.

"No, thank you." Chen Ling waved his hand to refuse.

"Chief, please try it...

I brought these from District Four this morning, the peaches there are good and cheap..." She grabbed Chen Ling's collar, her cloudy eyes full of pleading.

Chen Ling followed her gaze and saw a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying on the fruit cart, shivering in the cold wind.

"Have a bite, if it's not good, you don't have to pay." She picked out the biggest peach from the cart, carefully wiped it with her clothes, and handed it to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling did not eat because he was not sure if there was anything else inside the peach, like...

poison.

When this thought crossed his mind, he was startled...

because he used to be different.

If it were him before the great disaster...

no, even if it were him yesterday, he would definitely lend a hand, even if it didn't help much, at least he could buy a few peaches, showing some kindness.

This was his kindness and perseverance, but now, these things seemed to fade little by little...

Chen Ling and the old woman looked at each other for a moment, and he spoke: "How much for these peaches?" "One copper coin per pound." "Give me two pounds." Chen Ling expressionlessly took out two copper coins from his pocket and handed them to her.

Seeing this, the old woman immediately took the copper coins with both hands, bowed to Chen Ling several times, thanked him, and then picked out a few of the largest peaches from the cart and put them in a bag.

At the same time, Chen Ling suddenly said, "That child has a fever, take him to get some medicine." With his "Secret Eyes," Chen Ling could see at a glance that the baby on the cart was not well and he reminded the old woman.

The old woman hesitated for a moment, a struggle and guilt appearing in her eyes as she looked at the baby, but she didn't say anything, just silently picked two more peaches for Chen Ling.

She didn't weigh them, but even with the naked eye, Chen Ling could tell that these two bags of peaches were definitely more than two pounds.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..." After thanking Chen Ling repeatedly, she pushed the cart forward.

Until she met the next pedestrian, she hurriedly ran up, her face and the baby's face red from the cold wind, but the old and weak body remained standing.

Chen Ling touched his pocket, shook his head helplessly.

He only bought two pounds because he only had two copper coins left in his pocket...

the silver coins he got from Qian Fan had long been lost in the blood pool of the courtyard.

Just as he walked onto Frost Street, he noticed many people secretly standing at their doorways, looking in his direction...

they saw Chen Ling approaching in uniform and began whispering to each other.

"Oh, Officer Chen Ling!" The first shop on the street was the cake shop Chen Ling had visited before.

The owner, seeing Chen Ling approaching, immediately put on a pleasing smile, "Officer Chen Ling, you look really handsome in that outfit!" "Boss Li." Chen Ling walked to the shop's entrance and looked at the residents of Frost Street standing at their doorways, asking, "What's going on?" "Oh, everyone is here to see you!" "To see me?" "Yes, the enforcer who was responsible for patrolling our Frost Street was said to have been killed by Officer Han Meng...

today is the day a new enforcer takes office, so everyone wants to see who will be in charge of this street in the future...

The list of enforcers who passed the assessment was posted on the street that day, and everyone guessed it might be you, after all, you are one of us from Frost Street...

And here you are!"”
