Endless Road of Corpse - C26
This was originally the internal parking lot of the construction materials market, but the space was very wide. I looked around and found a corner of the empty space. Under the corridor that was originally a main building of the market, there were a few people standing around. There were also a few stalls scattered about.
Before we could get close, a few people came up and followed us. They all said, “Do you have antibiotics? Amoxicillin, Cefalexin, Vanguard… “,” Tissue, a lot of tissue, prices are negotiable… “,” Do you want sweet potatoes? “The quality is good, not a single one is bad.” “All kinds of dried beans, good for storage and nutrition …”
For a moment, I felt familiar and warm, like a bunch of women chasing me through a computer market before the crisis, selling pirated games and Japanese films.
“Yellow Ox has it all the time!” San Mao sighed with emotion.
Let me take out the good stuff for you to take a look at. Let me give you an estimate, if you think it’s too little, then don’t exchange it. It’s okay, the Mayor Chen has it, no one would dare to do anything to it! Yellow Ox continued to nag on and on.
We waved our hands and moved on quickly. I know these people too well, at the start, you said it was all over the place, but once you opened your mouth, it would be difficult to escape, and you will definitely be tricked until nothing is left of your bones are left, the Sergeant Major said just now, the rules are, you can’t steal from them, you can’t force them to buy or sell, the scammers don’t care!
The Yellow Ox followed for a while, but after seeing how determined we were, it slowly dispersed as well. Only then did we stop and inquire about the young bullock.
Surprisingly, after asking a few stalls’ owners, they didn’t know what kind of background this young bull had. until we tell him what he’s doing.
“Martial Sect’s young bull?” The stall owner scratched his head in confusion. “You’re not talking about rats in the meat business, are you?”
When I heard the name, I knew he was right. The young bull didn’t look like a little mouse.
“Unfortunately, he’s not here today!” The stall owner’s face revealed an ambiguous smile.
“Not here? “Where did you go?” San Mao panicked.
“I went to church on a Sunday!”
“What?” What about his religious beliefs when he’s a pimp? ” San Mao said in disbelief.
“That’s right, those missionaries said that it was the end of the world as written in the Bible. The Four Knights of Heaven, the Prophecy of Nostradamus … “They say that the gods sent the zombies to punish us, so as long as we believe in their religion, we can be saved. A lot of people believe that. Look, it’s usually quite lively here. Today, there are only a few people …”
I thought to myself, so that’s how it is. I had been wondering why there were so few and far between these famous Ghost Market people.
“Then what should we do?” The few of us walked to the side and discussed, frowning heavily as we said, “Why don’t we come back tomorrow?”
“Then I’ll have to collect another tax.” Lv shook his head and said, “Not worth it, not worth it!”
“Let’s ask around and take a look at the market. If we can change it, we might not have to look for a young bull!” “No,” I said.
“Yes, that’s the only way.” Everyone nodded.
“Eh? Where’s Liu Guojun? ” Lin Hao suddenly shouted.
I looked around and realised that Liu Guojun had really disappeared. Liu Guojun did not speak much today, and everyone hated him to the core, so we did not notice when he disappeared.
“It was still there when the tax was collected.” Yang Yufan muttered.
I looked around, and from afar, I saw a building with the words “Metal Warm Water”, Liu Guojun was saying something to a guard.
“He’s over there!” I pointed in that direction.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Liu Guojun waving and bowing to the guard, as though he was begging him for something, but the guard just waved his hands angrily, as if he was determined not to do it. After speaking for a while, the guard seemed to be annoyed, and pushed Liu Guojun away, causing him to squat on his butt. Liu Guojun patted his butt, he was not angry, but he did not dare go forward, yet he was unwilling to leave.
“What is this old boy doing?” San Mao curled his lips and said with an expression of hatred.
“Who cares!” I spat on the ground. “Don’t call him when we get back. Just leave him here.”
“Forget it, forget it. Why bother with such a despicable person …” He tried to smooth things over, “Let’s hurry up and do our own thing.”
Other than the two bottles of vodka that we brought along, which were still popular as always, and the ten kilograms of corn, ten kilograms of sweet potatoes, all the other gynecological medicines and condoms only offered a low and ridiculous price. There was even a cow that kept pestering us, wanting to wrap five or six kilograms of flour around our goods, which made San Mao almost lose his fight with him.
Besides food, there weren’t many other useful things. I traded a bottle of moisturizer for three boxes of dental floss, then used half a roll of toilet paper for a pile of children’s clothing, and prepared to bring them back to Little Casey to wear.
I had lost interest early on, and was bored to death watching San Mao squat on the ground and pick and choose from a bunch of slingshots made of steel bars and valve cores. Just then, I saw a few people come out from behind the gate of the guard that Liu Guojun was fighting against, including Sergeant Major who was collecting our taxes earlier, surrounded by a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. I saw that Sergeant Major was talking to the middle aged man while pointing at our side.
Seeing that they had come out, Liu Guojun immediately welcomed them. As he walked, he gestured towards the middle aged man, but the man only glanced at him and ignored him. Two soldiers immediately came over and pushed him away.
Looking at the few of them walking towards us, at first, I thought they were just walking towards us, but as they got closer and closer, I slowly confirmed that they were coming towards us. I immediately pulled on San Mao’s clothes.
“What?” San Mao stood up in dissatisfaction.
I pursed my lips in the direction the men had come from.
San Mao tensed up, I saw his hand quietly placing on the hilt of the blade that was stabbed into his waist. At this time, Big Force Lv and the others also noticed that something was wrong and came closer to us. When the Yellow Ox, who had been wandering around us all this time, saw those people, it was as if it was a mouse that had seen a cat.
I saw that the soldiers were all carrying a Type 95 assault rifle in front of their chest. They all had their hands on the butt of the rifle as they walked towards us expressionlessly. My heart was beating rapidly.
“Mayor Chen, that’s them.” These people stood a few metres in front of us, the Sergeant Major pointed at us and said to the middle aged man.
So he is the Mayor Chen!” I sized up the Mayor Chen. She was of medium build, neither fat nor skinny, had short but not too short hair, had a square face, wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, had a clean face without a beard, wore a short-sleeved white shirt, and black pants.
However, at this moment, his appearance was truly extraordinary. Right now, every one of them have a head of messy, dirty, knotted hair with no beard, their bodies are covered in dirt, no one wearing white, even if they were wearing white, they would have already turned brown, and this Mayor Chen, just this clear and refreshing look, has already stunned us, even made me feel ashamed of my own appearance.
