#55 - Chapter 55: Food is brought back
Yusu Province, Mozhou City, Suiyang Resettlement Center.
"Big Brother, I'm back!" Ma Youcai shouted as he rushed into the inner courtyard.
"How was it?" Mei Wenhua asked anxiously.
"Big Brother... it's terrible! Hundreds of zombies inside are all dead! All dead!" Ma Youcai said with fear and grief.
"Then what about Nan'er?" Mei Wenhua looked on expectantly.
"Young Master, he... he's also dead," Ma Youcai replied.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Hearing Ma Youcai's answer, Mei Wenhua instantly lost strength and sat down on the chair, saying sadly.
"Big Brother, it must be those two people. We must avenge Young Master!" Ma Youcai began to stir up trouble.
"Did you actually see them walk into our shop?" Mei Wenhua asked weakly, seeking confirmation.
"Although I didn't see it, who else could it be besides them?" Ma Youcai argued.
"Use your pig brain! Hundreds of zombies, just the two of them?" Mei Wenhua scolded angrily.
"Big Brother, I have another discovery," Ma Youcai said awkwardly, quickly adding.
"What discovery?"
"The zombies' heads are all rotten, they should have been shot by guns," Ma Youcai said.
He had never seen what a head shot by a gun looked like, but that didn't affect his deduction.
"Guns?" Mei Wenhua was frightened. Guns were not something everyone had, so he quickly asked:
"Did you get spotted?"
"No, absolutely not. From beginning to end, we didn't even see a single person, so we definitely wouldn't have been spotted," Ma Youcai shook his head.
Mei Wenhua was a little scared, afraid that it was done by people in the army. Because only they had guns. If he was found out to be tampering and raising zombies, then the trouble would be really big. He had to be careful now and not reveal any clues.
"Okay! That's good! Don't investigate this matter for now, and don't mention it to anyone outside," Mei Wenhua instructed.
"Okay, Big Brother. What about those two people...?" Ma Youcai asked.
"You don't need to worry about this matter, go back first!" Mei Wenhua said.
"Okay, Big Brother. Then I'll leave first."
"Qingyi, arrange for those two people to leave as soon as possible," Mei Wenhua said to the young woman.
"Okay, Manager Mei!"
After the young woman left, Mei Wenhua cried bitterly:
"Worthless! All worthless! My son! My poor son!"
...
"Commander, the Central Hall has been upgraded."
"Good, start building the research lab!" Dongfang Chen said.
"Yes, Commander!"
...
"Brother, can you tell me now?" Luo'er asked as they walked down the road.
"Do you know why we were locked in the supermarket yesterday?" Shen Wengang asked.
"Someone must have been trying to set us up. If I find out who it is, I will never let them go!" Luo'er clenched her small fist and said fiercely.
"It was the other three people who went to Mozhou City with us," Shen Wengang said calmly.
"What? It's them? How is that possible? Didn't they go to the west? Could it be...?" Luo'er didn't dare to think further.
"That's right, they didn't go. Instead, they went ahead to ambush us, waiting for us to walk into the trap," Shen Wengang said.
"No way! Brother! Let's go back and reason with them!" Luo'er was indignant and turned to go back.
"Don't go! We can't beat them yet. And from their conversation, I vaguely heard that the Level 2 zombie was Mei Wenhua's son. Do you think he will treat us kindly after he knows that we killed his son?" Shen Wengang stopped her.
"Hmph! These people are so hateful! They actually trick people into feeding zombies, they're not human at all!" Luo'er stomped her feet angrily.
"Alright, let's go. Let's find a place to settle down first."
Yusu Province, Mozhou City, Meilin Resettlement Center.
"Boss Niu, welcome back!" Mayor Gong heard that Boss Niu had brought back a truckload of grain and hurried over to greet him.
"Mayor Gong, you even came to greet me in person!" Niu Xingwang quickly stepped forward to shake hands.
"You are a great contributor to our Meilin, so I must personally welcome you!" Mayor Gong said flatteringly.
"Mayor Gong, you're too kind! I'm just an ordinary businessman, I don't deserve to be called a great contributor," Niu Xingwang waved his hand.
"You deserve it, you deserve it!" Mayor Gong said affirmatively.
"Mayor Gong, besides flour, I also saw a lot of fresh vegetables!" At this time, Secretary Liu ran over in a hurry and said.
"Really?" Mayor Gong asked in surprise.
"Really! Cabbage! I saw it being unloaded from the truck, basket after basket, all fresh cabbage!" Secretary Liu said excitedly, spitting as he spoke.
"Boss Niu! You really have amazing connections! You can still get vegetables these days?" Mayor Gong asked in surprise.
"Mayor Gong, I'm sorry! I didn't tell you in advance. This time, in addition to bringing 10,000 catties of flour, I also brought 10,000 catties of potatoes and cabbage, and also two live pigs," Niu Xingwang said, seemingly apologizing, but actually showing off.
"Wow! There are even pigs! Boss Niu, are these pigs okay?" Mayor Gong asked quietly.
"Don't worry, they're fine! If Mayor Gong is worried, you can send someone to test them," Niu Xingwang guaranteed.
"Then there's no need. Since Boss Niu says there's no problem, then naturally there's no problem. Next, how do you plan to handle these supplies, Boss Niu?" Mayor Gong said.
