doomsday scavengers

Seeing the obscene-looking man in front of him, Ye Qiu couldn't help but dig out his pocket, but the half finger protruding from the pocket revealed his salary level.

"No Money?"

The elder brother on the opposite side immediately glanced at Ye Qiu with a displeased face, and then he was about to slap his ass and leave. Ye Qiu saw that his temper was quite arrogant, and immediately followed him with a playful smile: "Brother, don't, I'm fine right now. things, but I know where that good thing is hidden!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Qiu smiled twice with an expression that you understand, and the man looked at Ye Qiu suspiciously and asked, "Just you? You look so poor, what good things can you have?"

Although he didn't believe it, Ye Qiu's words still left a thought in his heart. The so-called unobtainable things are always in a commotion. Once this man's curiosity was aroused, it immediately became out of control.

Tucking his chin and thinking for a while, the man pretended to be indifferent and said, "Tch, you are good at bragging, but we are indeed short of some manpower... so, you follow us to fight first, and we will talk about it later. "

When Ye Qiu heard that there was something going on, he immediately put on a greasy and worldly smile and said, "Hey, my brother is really the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva, so thank you very much, brother."

The man waved his hand, and Ye Qiu immediately stepped aside to start his own work. He followed this group of guys and began to knock on doors from house to house.

"Why is it you again? I told you not to let me stay! Get the hell out!"

The host had just been knocked on the door by Ye Qiu, and it hadn't been a while before this beggar knocked on the door again, and he was a little annoyed. Ye Qiu also looked at him quietly and didn't say a word, because at this time... It's time for those guys to show up...

"You! What are you doing! Hurry up and pay the rent! You don't want to live here, do you!"

Sure enough, as soon as this guy started roaring, his voice attracted those guys who were collecting rent like wolves and tigers, and he directly reprimanded this guy.The guy was stunned when he saw it. The guy in rags in front of him belonged to Brother Fan, and he immediately came up to flatter him and said, "Brother... just now I didn't know Taishan with my eyes, so I offended you." ..."

After finishing speaking, he quickly turned around and went back to the room to take out a bag of things and handed it to Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu weighed it, and it felt heavy in his hand, as if it was some kind of metal. He was about to put it into his arms, but the guy at the side hurriedly snatched it from Ye Qiu's hand: "What are you doing, is it something you can take?"

Being robbed of the bag in his hand, Ye Qiu didn't show any displeasure, just gave a dry laugh, and then went on to knock on the next family. In this way, a group of people were busy collecting rent, and the time of the night was very fast. passed.

It was just dawn, and it was supposed to be the time for the rooster to crow to wake everyone up, but obviously there were no roosters in this place, but this did not prevent everyone from getting up.

"Everyone is up! Everyone is up!"

The group of rent collectors headed by a man suddenly yelled, and then the other younger brothers also started shouting from house to house. Ye Qiu suddenly came to the elder brother curiously, and asked with a smile: "Hey, brother, what's your name?" you?"

After two years of struggling in the last days, what Ye Qiu has honed is not only his skill, but more importantly, his excellent ability to accept. Skin to deal with those laymen.

Ye Qiu's sleek appearance can easily remind people of the kind of small character who is glib and full of ghost ideas, so this big brother has no resistance to his familiar appearance, in his eyes Well, Ye Qiu should have looked like this kind of grass.

"Oh, just call me Brother Zeng."

When Ye Qiu heard this, his eyes almost lit up, and he said in surprise, "Brother Zeng? Are you really Brother Zeng?"

When Brother Zeng saw Ye Qiu's surprised appearance, he was immediately flattered. As the little leader of gangsters, how could he be so famous?No, no... It should be a coincidence that I met him, and then Brother Zeng tentatively asked, "Do you know me?"

Who knew that Ye Qiu suddenly made a grimace, and then deliberately said with a slumped face, "I don't know."

When Brother Zeng heard this, he immediately lowered his face, and said displeasedly: "I don't know what you are so stupid, go to work!"

After being reprimanded, Ye Qiu went to work in a dejected manner, and then followed those guys to wake up all the residents.

"Dude, what are you doing waking these guys up?"

After working around for a while, some guys squatted down on the side of the road to rest tiredly. Ye Qiu immediately came up to him and asked. ah?"

After finishing speaking, he looked around again, leaned close to Ye Qiu's ear and said with a mysterious expression: "These guys... they say they are residents here, but they are actually Brother Fan's free labor... Now it's time to work...! "

When Ye Qiu heard this, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't ask clearly. After all, it's not the time yet. It's not too late to inquire about the situation after he gets to know these guys well, and he doesn't have the obligation to do so. Investigating these things, the reason why I stay here now is just out of curiosity and to pass the time.

After a while, ordinary residents gathered densely on this street, all of them were men at a glance, and there were hardly a few women. Then that brother Zeng climbed up a tall step and shouted: "Today's task It's very simple, just like yesterday, just collect those discarded metals. The old rules, all the metals mentioned by our boss will be handed over! You can keep the rest as a deposit! Of course, other sundries or materials , as long as it is useful! You can give it to us as rent!"

The mighty group of people below had sleepy eyes, and their drowsiness had not completely dissipated. After listening to what Brother Zeng said, they immediately responded listlessly. Brother Zeng also knew that these guys were not easy every day, so he didn't say much. , and then said a few words of concern to everyone, and then let everyone disband.

"Hey boy, you can follow me for the time being, and see how Brother Fan arranges you."

Just as he was about to leave, Brother Zeng seemed to remember something, and immediately turned his head to remind Ye Qiu, "Boy, don't forget what you promised me." They followed, leaving only these few empty streets, and in another place blocked by the fence, Ye Qiu and his group gathered here, and then Brother Zeng ordered to wait in place, and the group began to be bored Chatted in twos and threes.

"Brother Zeng, what did you let those people do?"

Anyway, waiting is waiting, Ye Qiu thought that it would be better for him to use this time to exchange a few more words with Brother Zeng and get more current information. : "It's pretty pitiful to say that they are poor people, but..."

Halfway through the talk, Brother Zeng suddenly stopped talking. Ye Qiu stared at him for a while and looked at the boss. Seeing that Brother Zeng didn't continue, he asked, "But what? Why didn't you continue?"

But how did Ye Qiu press afterward, Brother Zeng didn't say a word, just kept prevaricating, Ye Qiu was too embarrassed to ask any more, and immediately closed his mouth resentfully.

"The car is here, the car is here."

"Gao Qi! Come here quickly! There will be no seats for a while!"

The two were talking, when there was a sudden noise, Ye Qiu saw that it was the pick-up vehicle coming, and then Brother Zeng squatted on the ground with his eyes squinted, took out a cigarette from his pocket, Self-consciously, Ye Qiu asked suspiciously, "Brother Zeng, why don't you get in the car? There won't be any seats for a while."

Brother Zeng squinted his eyes and looked at those younger brothers who rushed into the car in a panic, and sighed leisurely: "What's the hurry, wait later."

Ye Qiu looked into Brother Zeng's eyes from the side, and suddenly felt an unreal feeling. This kind... seems to be expressed in a poem...

Alone as a stranger in a foreign land... Missing relatives every festive season!

That's right... Ye Qiu saw a trace of loneliness in Brother Zeng's eyes, and then approached him with a smile: "Brother Zeng, where are you from?"

"Me, I'm from this place, a native of Heshui County."

"Local? I heard this place is not..."

As soon as Ye Qiu said this, Brother Zeng's face darkened immediately, and he interrupted Ye Qiu sharply: "I heard what I heard! Shut up for me!"

After finishing speaking, Brother Zeng slammed the half-smoked cigarette butt on the ground, pushed away the younger brothers and got on the co-pilot, then Ye Qiu also shook his head, got into the car and found an empty seat. got there.

"Brother, when can we go home?"

"Why don't you go back, just stay here first."

This bus is a pre-apocalyptic long-distance bus. There are three No. 40 people sitting on the bus. It seems that they are brothers, running around here every day in order to survive.

The driver's driving skills are very superb, the bumps along the way, one after another, the road conditions one after another, but the driver felt like walking on flat ground, and arrived at the destination after a short time, and Ye Qiu also noticed one thing, the driving The guy seemed to have taken some detours intentionally or unintentionally, as if to make the people in the car unable to remember the way back. Of course, it might be because Ye Qiu was too worried.

"It's here, get off the car, hurry up, get off the car quickly!"

The driver yelled at the group of people in the car, and then everyone rushed out of the car like dumplings.

"Old Chai! Where are people!"

"This and this! Slow down!"

"Damn, I'm so sleepy, go back and get some sleep!"

As soon as they arrived at the place, everyone happily walked in all directions as if they had left work. Ye Qiu looked around the place and found that the surroundings were all mountain roads, surrounded by houses in twos and threes. This is where these guys live. Just when Ye Qiu was about to find Brother Zeng and ask him where he lived, a loud horn sounded suddenly.

"Listen up fucking! Recently, I found out that someone has hidden supplies, and I'm here to remind you! Before noon today, I will leave my office, and I hope to see it on my desk when I come back. The bag of supplies that was lost! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Qiu's ears immediately cleared up, and the noisy atmosphere before disappeared. Everyone looked at each other in dismay, fearing that the guy who stole things was related to him. go in.

The early morning wind blew coolly on everyone's faces, and the drowsiness of not sleeping all night disappeared, and the few people who were chatting in twos and threes also lowered their heads tacitly and stopped talking.

"It's gone! It's nothing to be afraid of! If you don't do something wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! Whoever does it will know it! Go back to sleep! You will be sleepy even if you don't sleep all night!"

Following Brother Zeng's yelling, everyone slowly raised their feet and left one after another. In the end, only Brother Zeng and Ye Qiu were left. They were newcomers, and Ye Qiu didn't know the rules here, so he could only To use Brother Zeng as a bridge to establish a relationship with this place, I had to try to please this guy first.

"Brother Zeng, look at this...where am I going to sleep later?"

Brother Zeng smiled slightly, and patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder: "Sleep with Brother Zeng and me first today."

When Ye Qiu heard this, his face was filled with surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "Isn't it... Are you serious?"

Originally, Ye Qiu thought Brother Zeng was joking, but Brother Zeng looked at Ye Qiu curiously and said, "Huh? Otherwise, where do you think you are sleeping..."

After some strong protests, Ye Qiu got his wish and lived in the same bed with Brother Zeng, and then had a good night's sleep.

"I'll go, are you telling the truth?"

"Can it be fake? I heard that the scavengers even ate his mother's zombies raw! They are extremely cruel!"

"Just brag you, you are so powerful, you have already occupied the mountain and become king somewhere."

"Hey, why don't you believe me! My cousin saw it with his own eyes!"

A group of people were having a heated discussion at the door. Brother Zeng suddenly opened the door and walked out. Looking at a group of cats at his door, a few sly-eyed guys scolded: "What are you doing around here! Are you awake?"

Seeing that Brother Zeng was disturbed from rest, the group at the door smiled embarrassedly, and then one of the young men with delicate features stood up and said, "Brother Zeng, actually we don't want to disturb your old man's rest...but it's not an urgent matter. what..."

Brother Zeng covered his mouth and yawned, and said impatiently: "If you have something to talk about, hurry up, don't disturb Brother Zeng and my rest."

When the young man heard this, he quickly opened his mouth and said, "That's right, Brother Zeng, my cousin from my hometown wrote in a letter saying that there was a murderous scavenger in my house a while ago, and he killed anyone he saw, even zombies." However, when I saw a person, I stripped the skin to the bone, and even devoured the zombie alive!"

When Brother Zeng heard this, he frowned, squinted at the young man like an idiot, and said, "So powerful?"

The young man scratched his head in embarrassment, and stammered, "I don't know, but my cousin said it. Although I think it's a bit exaggerated, something must have happened, I think Go back and see my parents."

When he heard the word parents, Brother Zeng's eyes visibly throbbed for a moment, then he took a deep breath and waved his hands impatiently: "It's alright, alright, let's go back."

"Thank you Brother Zeng! Come back and bring you some delicious food!"

And at this time, Ye Qiu in the house was also woken up, heard what they were talking about, and came out directly and asked, "What's your cousin's name?"

Seeing Ye Qiu coming out of Brother Zeng's room, coupled with Ye Qiu's slender figure, fair thighs, and somewhat disheveled image, the boys at the door all showed incredible expressions. Still a little puzzled about their expressions, they glanced up and down Ye Qiu's hands for a while, and immediately realized that those boys had thought of something, and immediately laughed and cursed: "Damn it, don't let me think about it, Tell me something, he wants to go home, what are you guys doing?"

But Ye Qiu didn't give them room to talk, instead he walked up to the young man and asked, "What's your brother's name?"

Although the young man was puzzled, seeing that Ye Qiu came out of Brother Zeng's room, he must have something to do with it, so he replied without thinking: "My brother...others call him Xiaonian, but his real name seems to be Xiaonian. Zhang Nian."

"Zhang Nian... Xiao Nian..."

Hearing this name, Ye Qiu muttered to himself, and seemed to feel that the name was familiar...but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before, so he asked, "What does your brother do at home?"

When the young man heard this, he immediately beamed with joy: "Oh! My brother is part of our mountaineering team. He usually takes care of climbing a mountain, measuring the road conditions and geological conditions on the mountain."

When Ye Qiu heard the word mountaineering, he immediately recalled it. He remembered that it was the time in the Song Forest. At that time, he used the natural geographical environment there to kill a large number of escapees, and he was able to step into the mountain. It can be regarded as the rank of the strong, and since that time, it seems that he has never encountered any opponents who can match him.

It's just that although it is a place of blessings, it is also a place of disaster for Ye Qiu. When he got off the song forest and went to the city of longevity, Ye Qiu's disappointment with human nature was buried deep in his heart. also awakened...

Everything happened like a dream. Originally, the two of us lived and died together, and killed him seven times in Xinliu Street together. In the end, we ended up with such an ending. Ye Qiu couldn't believe it, even to this day. Even Ye Qiu felt that the scene of Master Qiu's departure was so sudden that Ye Qiu didn't dare to believe that fact.

"Little year..."

Hearing this name, Ye Qiu muttered to himself in a daze, and the young man beside him asked suspiciously, "Do you know my brother?"
