Endless Road of Corpse - C27
“Let me take a look.” After Mayor Chen sized us up, she turned her head and said to Sergeant Major in a soft voice.
“Yes sir!” Then, he walked over with large strides, extended his hand out towards Lv, and said: “Give the Corpse Pushing Rod to me …”
“Ah?” “Oh …” Lv responded as he handed over the Corpse Pushing Rod. Sergeant Major took it and walked back with big steps as he handed the pole over to Mayor Chen with both hands.
Mayor Chen took the Corpse Pushing Rod in one hand, weighed it in his hand and carefully examined it from top to bottom. She then drew it horizontally a few times, put down the pole, and nodded: “It’s indeed not bad!”
Then, he passed the Corpse Pushing Rod back to the Sergeant Major and waved his hand at us: “Come with me.” After saying that, he turned around and walked into the building.
Just when we were looking at each other without knowing what the gourd was trying to sell, Sergeant Major, who was walking behind, handed the Corpse Pushing Rod back to Lv. He tugged at his clothes and said, “What are you all doing?
We had no choice but to follow them inside. At this time, Liu Guojun, who was hiding far away from Mayor and her group, suddenly ran over, “Wait for me, wait for me …” He ran to the middle of us and panted to Sergeant Major, “We’re together!”
There were many shops that displayed all kinds of goods that had not been moved away in time. Due to the height of the floors and the space being very spacious, the lighting was not too different from other buildings. Without the light, it would be dark even in broad daylight.
The Mayor Chen led us up two floors, then to a room at the corner of a large building. When we pushed open the door, we found a large conference room with a large oval table in the middle, with French windows on both sides. There were already a few people sitting inside, and when they saw Mayor go in, they all stood up.
The Mayor Chen nodded to them and walked straight to the end of the oval table. She pulled out a chair and sat down, then extended her hand to two sides and indicated for the others to sit down as well. Even Sergeant Major and the others went in and found seats, leaving us standing by the door.
“Sit!” What are you standing there for? ” After a while, the Mayor Chen saw us cowering at the door, pointing at our seats with surprise.
We went in and sat down at the far end of the conference table. I looked around and found that, other than Mayor Chen and a few others, the rest were not wearing military uniforms. They also looked like the rest of us, with disheveled, disheveled, and tattered clothing.
“Cough, cough …” Mayor Chen cleared her throat and then said: “Today, I invited everyone here to discuss something. We have a project on hand, and we want to work together with everyone!”
I was so confused that I thought I was attending a government tender.
Seeing that all of us were looking stunned, the Mayor Chen smiled and nodded towards Sergeant Major. She quickly stood up and took out a map from her bag and hung it on the wall behind Mayor Chen.
I noticed that this map was very different from the ones we usually used. First, it was a lot larger than usual, and then there were a lot of lines of different colors that I couldn’t understand.
Mayor Chen stood up and surveyed our surroundings. After pausing for a while, she said, “A few days ago, when our people were scouting around this area …” Mayor Chen pointed at a spot on the map. I was sitting too far away so I couldn’t see the exact location clearly.
“We found a food processing plant!” Mayor Chen continued to speak. Right after she finished, I saw the eyes of everyone around the table light up.
“According to the scout’s report, the interior of this factory has not been destroyed on a large scale. The production line and warehouse are still in good condition. There are also a large number of finished products and raw materials inside …” According to our calculations, there should be food in the warehouse of this factory for thousands of people to eat for the winter … ”
Mayor Chen seemed to be satisfied with everyone’s reactions, she nodded and was about to continue speaking, but unexpectedly, Liu Guojun suddenly stood up and shouted out emotionally: “Mayor Chen, Mayor Chen, I know, I know this food factory!”
Mayor Chen stopped what she was about to say and frowned unhappily as she said to Liu Guojun: “You are …?”
“Hahaha, Mayor Chen …” Liu Guojun’s face was flushed red, he replied with an extremely exaggerated and flattering tone: “I was originally the manager of the Development Zone’s management committee, the last time we met, I even shook hands with you!”
“Oh!” Mayor Chen nodded expressionlessly, but then immediately followed: “You know this factory?”
“Yes, yes …” “I know …” Liu Guojun hurriedly nodded his head and said: “I was the one who approved their procedures.”
“Then you must know that they produce fake goods?” The Mayor Chen asked.
“This …?” Liu Guojun was speechless.
“Alright!” It’s not that I want to settle old scores with you, after all, it’s not the time to be picky, be it faking it or pretending to be weak. ” Mayor Chen waved for Liu Guojun to sit, then said to him, “Since you know about the situation, tell me …
Liu Guojun was obviously frightened by his unfathomable attitude of slapping his and rubbing his again, and even his voice began to tremble a little, “Yes, yes, yes … “Hmm, the scale of this factory is quite decent. There are about a hundred workers, who mainly produce pastries and puffed foods, such as rice cakes, scallops, butterfly cakes and so on. I’ve been to their warehouse and found piles of rice, flour, and white sugar …”
When Liu Guojun said the Snowy Mushroom Butterfly Sesame Seed, my mouth couldn’t help but gush out saliva. I heard San Mao, who was at the side, exaggeratedly gulp down a large mouthful of saliva.
“Mm. In that case, our information is correct.” Mayor Chen turned her head to face us all. After a moment of pause, she said, “It’s just that there’s a difficulty. We need everyone to work together.” She turned around and slapped the map. He shouted: “Around this factory there are around 200 to 300 undeads!”
I heard a gulping sound turn into a gasp.
“We have more than 20 people at our disposal. You know that guns are not very useful against undeads but the gunshots will attract more undeads. We are far from having enough men with cold weapons. So we would like to invite you to come forward and see if you can join us.”
“That… Mayor Chen… ” A somewhat hesitant voice sounded. I looked towards the source of the voice and saw a man in his early fifties who looked very calm, sitting opposite of me. He had his head tilted as he looked at Mayor Chen and spoke.
“Oh, Ren, what do you have to say?” Mayor Chen raised her hand towards Ren.
“Are there any of those raptors here?” Ren asked.
Velocicorpse? I wondered what the hell this was. I had only heard of the Velocidragon in Jurassic Park. Could it be that the Zombie began to evolve into a mutated beast? But when he thought about it, he understood that the Velocicorpse was referring to the new corpse that we had come up with. It was just a different name. Of course, this question is also what I was thinking and I hurriedly focused on listening to Mayor Chen’s answer.
“Yes!” The Mayor Chen replied straightforwardly: “The number is unknown, but it won’t be too much.”
“Oh …” A hint of regret flashed through the Ren’s eyes, he immediately said: “That scout, can you ask him to tell us more about the situation over there?”
Mayor Chen slowly shook her head, “Regretfully, this warrior has already died. On his way back here, she was caught up by a corpse, her shoulder was bitten, and when she returned to the base, he had already developed a high fever. After giving me her report, she died.”
It was obvious that the “Quick Corpse” was another name for the new one, just like the “Swift Corpse”.
Everyone fell silent and no one spoke anymore. The meeting room was so quiet that only the sound of smacking lips and the rustling of clothes could be heard. It seemed that no one wanted to be the first to express their opinion.
After a long while, the Ren was the first to speak out. “Mayor Chen, with such a big matter, I can’t make the decision by myself. Can we go back and discuss it first?”
“Of course.” Mayor Chen replied straightforwardly, “Everyone is the same. There’s no need to rush for an agreement. We can go back and discuss things first, it doesn’t matter whether we participate or not. It’s purely voluntary.”
“Of course!” Mayor Chen emphasized her words again: “If you participate, not only can you split the profits from this operation evenly, from today onwards, your transactions in the Ghost Market will be exempt from tax!”
After saying this, I saw that most of the people had an expression of yearning on their faces. A few of them immediately started to converse with their companions in whispers.
“Alright, then that’s it for today!” Mayor Chen stood up together with the other military personnel. As she spoke, he walked out, “The latest is the day after tomorrow. Then, a group of people followed him out.
As soon as they left the room, the room became lively and everyone let go of their voices. The few of us gathered together to discuss it.
“I think so!” Big efforts first said: “This Mayor Chen looks like a pretty good person, and their people are all soldiers. They are well-trained, so they must be the main force.
“I was afraid that we wouldn’t be able to pick them up cheap, and instead got used as lunch by the Zombie, you all heard it, there are new corpses over there, the numbers are still unknown! There are more than twenty of them, and adding the scattered us, it would only be fifty or sixty, but Zombie s are two to three hundred. If there were half of a new corpse inside, it would not even be enough to split each of us into half! ” Lv was a natural pessimist.
San Mao waved his hand: “I think this is a question of whether we should go or not, do we have a choice? The family doesn’t even have three days’ worth of food, and in the blink of an eye, people who were about to starve to death have already had this opportunity to present themselves at the door.
Everyone was silent again. Lv kept looking at me, wanting me to express my opinion. I kept having the feeling that something was amiss with this matter, but I couldn’t explain it, so I shook my head and said, “Isn’t it a decision made by the Queen? Let’s go back and discuss this with Uncle Feng and then make a decision after discussing it.”
So no one said anything, and just as they were about to leave, Lin Hao suddenly shouted: “Where’s Liu Guojun? Why is this old brat gone again? ”
We searched up and down the meeting room, and only then did we realise that Liu Guojun had gone missing again.
Don’t bother with him, you must have gone to find the Mayor Chen again, using your hot face to touch her cold buttocks, your old face is not so anxious! San Mao scolded him bitterly.
“Maybe he’s waiting for us outside. Let’s head out first.” He spoke with a bit of a helpless tone.
So we all walked out, and when we walked out of the door, we really saw Liu Guojun standing in the shadow of the door, his face full of smugness.
I was about to go over and insult him, but someone bumped into me from the side. I staggered and almost fell to the ground. I was about to curse when I felt a ball of paper in my hand.
“Sorry, sorry …” A high-pitched voice sounded.
I looked up and saw a small, sallow man with two whiskers.
“What is it? Can’t you see my eyes when I walk? ” San Mao scolded.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing.” I hastily waved my hand and in the blink of an eye, that person had already left. Looking at his back, I had a strange feeling, as though I had seen that person somewhere before.
“Who is this person?” Lv also came over to ask.
“I don’t know. Yellow Ox, I guess.” “No,” I said.
