The next day, Chen Xing got on the jeep. Bo Na was responsible for driving, Bo Watt sat in the passenger seat, and Chen Xing sat alone in the back seat.
"How much did Sun Yong give you?"
Not long after the motorcade set off, Chen Xing suddenly asked. Last night, he had "tortured" Poona to find out who was behind it. But she didn't know the specific situation. It was her brother who contacted him.
Powater immediately turned pale. After a few seconds, he clenched his fists with determination and said, "Five hundred gold."
"Five hundred gold?" Chen Xing repeated, and then smiled, "Five hundred gold is enough to kill an Orchid Town squad leader. Your charges are really cheap."
Faced with Chen Xing's teasing, Powater's face turned even paler.
"A month ago, the captain of the third team of Orchid Town was still Wang Bo. Didn't you ask why the captain was changed when you took the order?" Chen Xing asked again.
"Why, why?" Powater asked subconsciously. On the other side, Bo Na turned her face sideways and glanced at Chen Xing, her eyes showing the cowardice of a lamb. Last night, she had completely surrendered and did not dare to have the slightest thought of resistance.
"Because..." Chen Xing said slowly, "I killed him."
Powater's eyes suddenly widened like bells, with a look of disbelief on his face, and he asked in a trembling voice, "But, why the mayor, why didn't he..." His mind was a little confused, and his words became incoherent.
"Why didn't you kill me?" Chen Xing finished for him, then smiled and asked, "Yes, why not?"
Powater was thinking hard, his face was gloomy, and cold sweat continued to break out from his forehead. Finally, he gritted his teeth, punched his thigh hard, cursed "Fake", and said to himself, "You bitch, you're hurting me!"
"I'll tell you the truth." Chen Xing sighed and said sincerely, "The mayor values me very much and assigned me several times more territory than other teams, so they are jealous." He paused for a while and then said , "I thought Yang Yong was a smart man, but I didn't expect him to be so stupid. He was just trying to kill himself with an egg against a stone!"
"My sister and I were both stupid in this matter. Please forgive us for our ignorance." Poit said with his fists clasped, and then pulled Bona's sleeve to signal her to express her stance.
"I...I will be obedient." Bona said nervously.
"Actually, I am a very simple person." Chen Xing said lightly, "If others are good to me, I will be good to others."
"Captain Chen, if you need us brothers and sisters in the future, just speak up and we will do our best." Powater said with a ruthless look on his face, "If you want to deal with Sun Yong, count the two of us."
"It's not needed yet." Chen Xing waved his hand and said, "When you go back, you will refund the money and say you can't find a chance to do it."
"Why...why is this?" Poit said somewhat unexpectedly. According to his understanding, the first thing Chen Xing did when he returned was to eliminate potential threats to avoid future troubles.
"Now is not the time..." Chen Xing shook his head and said, "Let him live for a while longer."
The reason why he said this was that on the one hand he didn't believe Povat and Bona, on the other hand, the captain of the second team could kill him just as he said. He had just killed Wang Bo, and then killing Sun Yong was a bit... Overdone. If the mayor spared him the first time, he might not spare him the second time, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run.
"Okay, we all listen to you." Powater said.
"Your sister is a good girl." Chen Xing said suddenly.
Povat was stunned for a moment, while Bo Na blushed and stared at the vehicle in front without saying a word. Then she heard the other party say, "Make me Chen Xing as a friend, and I won't let you down."
"We, brother and sister, don't have much ability. We grew up in the mountains and haven't seen much of the world." Powater sighed, "I was introduced to the Black Snake Brigade and have been working there for eight years, but I haven't saved much money yet... "
"If you have no place to go in the future, come to me." Chen Xing said. However, this is just a polite comment. Leaving the Black Snake Brigade is tantamount to betrayal. Unless his strength is higher than that of Black Snake, he will not dare to take them in easily.
Although Black Snake did not dare to directly conflict with the Orchid Town garrison, nothing was impossible in the wilderness and under the night, so strength was the most important thing. If he had guard-level strength, Black Snake would have no choice but to swallow his anger.
A few days later, the convoy arrived at Longshi Town successfully.
At the foot of the mountain, Chen Xing got out of the car, got into the van that traveled up and down the mountain, and went directly to the auction house. After registering the things and handing them over to the clerk, I came to West Second Street and checked into the last hotel - the Catalpa Wood Traveler.
It's also on the second floor, but this time the room number is 231, which is at the end of the passage.
Chen Xing took a hot bath and just lay down when he received a message from Bo Na.
[We have arrived at Longshishan Industrial Zone and are unloading. According to the itinerary, after washing the car tomorrow, we will go to Longshi Town Exchange to purchase grain. If everything goes well, we will set off back to Orchid Town the day after tomorrow. If you need a ride, please contact us in time]
Seeing this message, Chen Xing couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach. The corpse transport team suddenly transformed into a food transport team. If this matter were placed on earth, it would be completely unbelievable. How can a car carrying corpses be used to transport food without making people sick to death?
But this is not the Earth. The continental plates and the length of the equator are all different, so there is no comparison at all.
According to the information Chen Xing has read, the length of the equator is about 2.9 times that of the earth. There are six main continental plates, located in the north of the middle, the largest red earth continent, then the eastern continent and the western continent, and the sparsely populated South China. Continent, Black Death Continent and Green Continent.
This world is called the "realm of the five gods" by religious scholars. Outside of the Red Earth Continent, every continent has a god in charge. Therefore, the Red Earth Continent is also known as the "Land Abandoned by Gods".
According to historical records, before the catastrophe, the total human population was close to 50 billion. After the catastrophe, only 70 million remained. After hundreds of years of development, it recovered to three billion.
Under the soil, in the ice and snow, and in the ruins of the city, there are countless human corpses buried. Under the influence of "living corpse bacteria", they turned into another kind of creature, constantly crawling out of the ground and competing with humans for limited living space.
[You guys go back first, I still have things to do] Chen Xing replied to the message.
[Received] Pona replied briefly.
Then, Chen Xing turned on the air conditioner, yawned, and fell asleep.
"Um, ah... ah! Hmm..."
But after lying there for a long time, he still hadn't fallen asleep. The soundproofing effect of the wooden walls was very poor. From the adjacent rooms, there were constant sounds of squeaking, gasping, cries of pain, and the sharp sound of a whip cutting through the air. Sometimes it's low, sometimes it's high, making it difficult to fall asleep.
"We must change rooms tomorrow." Chen Xing muttered quietly, blocking his ears with two big pillows.
After a long time, I finally fell asleep.
