#146 - Chapter 146 What’s that sound?
After the old man finished speaking,
the blood vessels on his face slowly disappeared.
The largest shelter in Yangcheng has a huge number of survivors, and the corresponding pressure on food is also extremely high.
Facing the approaching and foreseeable terrible winter, the consequences are unimaginable if there is not enough food.
So recently, news has spread that they want to exchange goods for food.
And the amount to be exchanged is not small.
It's tons!
Otherwise, it won't be of much use to tens of thousands of people.
And in the apocalypse, who would be willing to exchange valuable food for other items?
Unless there is something more precious than food at this stage.
Such as guns and weapons.
Now most of the food is in the hands of some large and small shelters or groups, and only they can come up with the amount needed by the Yangcheng shelter.
So.
The hyenas are impolite.
Guo Chunrui is one of them.
Don't be fooled by his honest and kind name, only those who have dealt with him know how ruthless he is!
Otherwise, he would not have been able to turn from gray to white in the early days of China and live freely to this day.
Even in the apocalypse, he still maintains his good life.
He is tempted by the deal proposed by the Yangcheng shelter.
He knows there are many guns and bullets there.
He doesn't refuse pistols and bullets.
Some time ago, he talked to the Yangcheng shelter, asking for 100 pounds of grain in exchange for 1 pistol + 100 bullets.
Or 200 pounds of grain in exchange for 1 machine gun + 100 bullets.
He asked to exchange for 5 pistols and corresponding bullets.
Unfortunately, it was rejected.
The other party proposed to exchange 2000 kilograms of grain for only 5 pistols, without bullets!
But he is not in a hurry.
As time goes by, the value of food will become more and more precious.
And weapons cannot be eaten.
He believes that the Yangcheng shelter will agree sooner or later.
In the early days of the apocalypse, he led his men to search and plunder a grain wholesale market, obtaining more than 20 tons of grain!
Absolutely rich and powerful!
The survivors here don't know that there is so much food in the Guo family shelter.
Guo Chunrui relies on more than a dozen pistols he also scavenged to control a large number of people.
With these, he recently spread the benefits of the Guo family shelter, attracting many survivors to join.
Of course, he is not senile or has a sudden burst of conscience.
He is building the walls of the Guo family shelter!
This factory originally only had three-meter walls.
Having realized the importance of a safe base, he attracted survivors in, of course, for labor!
People who come in need to work every day to build the walls before they are eligible to receive rations.
Guo Chunrui's plan is to build the walls to a height of ten meters, and then cut off the rations of these survivors.
Doing so may cause many people to leave.
That's exactly what he wants.
He can always use food to attract survivors back to work.
But he doesn't know how long it will take to repair.
Seeing the two women dividing up the leftovers of his breakfast cleanly.
He stood up.
And walked out of the dining room.
The two women and the middle-aged man quickly followed.
Soon.
The old man returned to his office.
The three people behind also followed in.
The old man stood by the window, staring at the survivors outside who had begun to work hard to build the walls.
He turned his head to look at the middle-aged man and asked him:
"How long will it take to build to 10 meters high?"
The middle-aged man respectfully replied:
"It is expected to take another 7-8 days! We have a lot of manpower, but unfortunately most people are not skilled enough and are slacking off. A lot of building materials have also been sent outside to be brought back, and we don't have any professional mechanical assistance, so the speed can't be increased."
The old man frowned again, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said in an extremely dangerous tone:
"Five days! I only give you five days to complete it!"
"Don't think about me wasting more food on these wastes!"
"Have people watch them, anyone who dares to slack off will be thrown out or beaten to death!"
"Don't think that my Guo Chunrui's food can be eaten so easily!"
The middle-aged man's back was sweating, and he quickly bowed and nodded in agreement.
After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hand at him and said:
"Go down and do your work."
Only then did the middle-aged man feel relieved and quickly left the office carefully.
For a time, only three people were left here.
The two women consciously walked to the old man's side, bowed and said:
"Master Guo, please calm down, let us relax you."
The old man remained noncommittal.
He walked from the window to a bookshelf next to him, moved one of the books, and pressed a hidden switch.
A "click" sound rang out.
The entire bookshelf actually turned into a movable door!
Revealing a small room behind it!
The space inside is not large.
Only about ten square meters.
As soon as it was opened, you could see a large round bed.
The old man walked in familiarly, and the two women behind him followed suit.
The bookshelf slowly closed again.
Before long, indescribable sounds came from inside.
Leaving an empty office outside.
————————————
The middle-aged man who had left the office earlier walked outdoors and completely away from the old man's room before he finally relaxed.
He would rather be blown by the cold wind outside than face that old man.
No doubt about it.
There is a reason why he is so afraid of an old man in the apocalypse.
Guo always has a lot of lackeys who have been raised since the peaceful era. It is said that the employees of the company's security department in the peaceful era were all people who had followed him before.
There are even rumors that many KTVs, nightclubs, and bars in Yangcheng are related to Guo's former subordinates.
The old man, who has turned white on the surface, still has a network of relationships that ordinary people cannot imagine.
After the apocalypse, many of his relationships died, and the remaining ones shrunk and became the current Guo family shelter. After clearing out two rebellious thorns, the entire shelter is now the old man's absolute say!
He will not forget his predecessor, the old man's former housekeeper and secretary.
A few days ago, he was shot dead by the old man for a very small matter!
The pistol under the old man's clothes will kill people at any time because of his displeasure!
He was the one who was responsible for directing others to bury his predecessor.
In a corner of the shelter's edge.
That's a corpse pit.
I don't know how many people have died.
Then he took over the work of his predecessor and became the old man's new housekeeper.
There is no way in the apocalypse, and evil people are even more evil.
Never underestimate some rich people, they have more trump cards and back roads than you can imagine.
Even when they are thin, they are not comparable to ordinary barefoot people.
The middle-aged man tightened his clothes. Later, he would arrange for a new team to go to Guangyuan City.
Guo always lost his wife early and left two children.
One son assists in managing the group in Yangcheng, and the other daughter graduated not long ago and manages a "small" factory in Guangyuan City to practice.
After the apocalypse, his daughter was lost and recently sent someone to find her.
Alas.
There are so many troubles.
The middle-aged man sighed.
As someone close to Guo always, his position is considered very high in the eyes of many people.
But only he knows that this position is like accompanying a king as if accompanying a tiger.
If you are not careful, you will lose your life.
In order for his family in the shelter to live better, he can only deal with it carefully.
Soon, it was approaching eleven o'clock.
With Guo's order, he reorganized a new search team.
Ready to let them set off again to Guangyuan City to find out the situation of Fang Tianqing and Miss Guo.
A team of four cars gathered again in the ground area of the shelter, and they were about to set off to Guangyuan City.
The middle-aged man shouted at them:
"Go and come back quickly! After finding out the situation there, you can send someone back to report first, and let Fang Tianqing come back as soon as possible!"
The team immediately said no problem.
There is a high watchtower next to the gate of the Guo family shelter. Seeing that the team needs to set off, they quickly notified people to clean up the zombies next to the gate.
Just then.
They heard a strange buzzing sound.
It came from the direction of the sky!
Only ten seconds later.
A helicopter appeared in sight!
