#53 - Chapter 53 Shen Wengang takes advantage of the situation

"Calling you stupid is an understatement! Can't you find a couple of greenhorns to go in? Ignorance is bliss, understand?" Mei Wenhua scolded.

Greenhorns are newbies who don't know anything.

Ma Youcai's eyes lit up immediately. That's right, find two people who don't know the situation, and fool them into going in to take a look, why should I go myself? So he said:

"Brother, you are so clever! I'll go right away! What about those two in the front yard...?"

"I'll try to stall them, you go and come back quickly!" Mei Wenhua said.

"Okay, Brother, I'll go right away." Ma Youcai said and hurried away.

Hearing this, Shen Wengang understood that this was all a trap set by "No Culture". They were treating his sister and him as chickens, sending them to feed the zombies.

Black-hearted! Utterly devoid of conscience and humanity!

"What should we do now? Running is definitely not an option, that would be an admission of guilt. It seems we can only play along." Shen Wengang frowned, thought for a while, and then said:

"Luo'er, come here."

"Brother, what's wrong?" Luo'er asked.

"I'll tell you..." Shen Wengang leaned close to Luo'er's ear and whispered.

"Ah? Brother, why do we have to do this?" Luo'er asked, puzzled after listening.

"Just listen to me, I'll explain to you when I have the chance," Shen Wengang said.

Luo'er nodded in agreement.

Luo'er is good in this way, although she is a bit willful, she listens to her brother.

Soon Ma Youcai came out, didn't bother to say a few more words, and hurried away.

At this time, the young woman came over and invited the two into the inner courtyard.

"Yo, yo, yo! You two have worked hard, come, please sit down!" Mei Wenhua appeared very enthusiastic.

"President Mei, I have something to tell you. The three people who set off with us yesterday drove all the vehicles away without meeting us. We need an explanation for this!" Shen Wengang said unhappily.

"What's your name, brother?" Mei Wenhua asked.

"Tiangang!" Shen Wengang replied simply.

"Tiangang? What kind of name is that? A nickname, right?" Mei Wenhua frowned, but didn't care, and continued:

"Brother Tiangang, you're right. I'll punish them later by deducting half of their commission, what do you think?" Mei Wenhua agreed.

"They almost killed us, and you're just deducting a little commission?" Luo'er said dissatisfied.

Mei Wenhua pretended to be very embarrassed and continued to explain:

"You also know that they are all poor people. After all, they completed the task, I can't just give them no money, right?"

"Hmph!" Luo'er pouted and stopped talking.

"Then let's do that." Shen Wengang knew the inside story, so he didn't dwell on this matter, and continued:

"President Mei, I'm sorry, our task is not considered complete, so just pay half of the commission. When can we settle it?" Shen Wengang asked.

"Oh? Brother Tiangang, what do you mean by this?" Mei Wenhua expressed some surprise.

"To be honest, my sister and I only explored two places. We didn't find anything in the first place, but when we rushed to the second place, we found that it had experienced a large-scale battle. The scene was a mess, and the ground was full of zombie corpses, presumably thanks to the other three. Although my sister and I are poor, we are not so shameless as to take advantage of this." Shen Wengang explained.

"What? Are you saying that inside are... corpses?" Mei Wenhua was shocked.

Shen Wengang couldn't hide this point, because after Ma Youcai rushed back from Mozhou, everything would inevitably be impossible to hide.

At the same time, he had greeted Luo'er in advance, so Luo'er didn't say anything at this moment.

"That's right, President Mei. Judging from the scene, there were no less than three or four hundred zombie corpses. With just my sister and me, let alone three or four hundred, even thirty or forty would be too much for us to handle. Presumably this is President Mei's arrangement, we are ashamed to accept it," Shen Wengang said.

Mei Wenhua didn't speak, and kept frowning.

"However, President Mei, there is something I don't know if I should say," Shen Wengang continued.

"Please speak," Mei Wenhua replied.

"Since President Mei has such a team that can eliminate hundreds of zombies at once, why do you still need to recruit us to explore the situation in Mozhou? Isn't this redundant?" Shen Wengang asked the question.

Asking such a question was also to further release a smokescreen in order to get rid of his suspicion.

"Ah, this, haha. Brother Tiangang is overthinking it, how could I have such a team, don't think too much." Mei Wenhua explained with a smile, but his brows were still furrowed.

He is very annoyed now. If it is true as Tiangang in front of him said, there are three or four hundred zombie corpses at the scene, then his Nan'er is probably in mortal danger.

Moreover, he really doesn't believe that these two people in front of him can eliminate hundreds of zombies and come back unscathed. These are zombies, even a slight injury will lead to infection. If zombies were really so easy to eliminate, how could his Nan'er be infected and only be able to watch himself turn into a zombie step by step!

But if it wasn't them, then who could it be?

His statement is somewhat different from Ma Youcai's, but it's not completely inconsistent.

Could it be that there are other forces in Mozhou City?
