While waiting for the harvest, the trade caravan sent out by Longshan settlement came back!
Led by Ma Senming's clan brother Ma Yugao, a large number of elite escorted trading teams were mobilized, and finally returned to the Longshan settlement after a month.
There were more than fifty people and a dozen vehicles in the convoy when it set off, but when it returned there were only about thirty people. Fortunately, the motorcycles were still there, and there were even extra vehicles.
It's just that these vehicles are all stained with blood, and many of them have horrific scratches.
In the quarantine area, Ma Senming and Ma Yugao met.
"Brother!"
"Yugao."
The two hugged each other and cried when they met, which actually made people cry.
Dachun dragged his broken arm to Zhao Yuanba.
"Dachun, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Yuanba asked with concern.
Dachun smiled bitterly and said: "I was accidentally bitten by a zombie. If I want to survive, I have to amputate my limbs."
"Dachun...it was my eldest brother who harmed you. I shouldn't have arranged for you to take this trip." Zhao Yuanba sighed.
"Brother, don't worry, I still have my right hand and can still fight!" Da Chunhao said with great enthusiasm.
The man's spirit has not been weakened by the amputation.
After hearing Dachun's words, Zhao Yuanba couldn't help but patted Dachun on the shoulder to encourage him.
On this side, Tian Yue looked eagerly, but he couldn't see the person he wanted to see!
"Where is my brother Wang Kui?" Tian Yue couldn't help but ask.
A younger brother belonging to Tian Yue knelt down in front of Tian Yue and wailed: "Brother, we were attacked by advanced mutant zombies on the way. Brother Wang died together with the zombies in order to cover everyone's retreat!"
"What? Wang Kui is dead? Why wasn't you the one who died?" Tian Yue was so distraught that he lifted the little brother up from the ground.
"Brother, I also want to die on behalf of Brother Wang..." The younger brother burst into tears and cried, "But I don't have the strength."
Seeing this man crying so sadly, the entire trading convoy couldn't help but feel sad.
Song Ziyu was greatly shocked.
It shouldn’t be!
The trading convoy is equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and equipment in the entire settlement, and is equipped with a large number of motorcycles. It also mobilizes a small oil tanker to ensure endurance... A convoy of this size should not suffer such a heavy price.
Looking at the scarred motorcade, Song Ziyu fell into deep thought.
Is it wrong to take the trade path?
Song Ziyu was inevitably shaken in his heart.
On this side, Ma Senming and Ma Yugao are analyzing the situation.
"Yugao, why did you lose so many people? Logically speaking, as long as your equipment does not stray into the old city, even if you encounter a zombie wave wandering around, you will not lose the city!" Ma Senming traveled alone. The old man in the radiation zone has quite a lot of survival experience, so he raised questions about his clan brother.
Ma Yugao's eyes moved slightly, and then he explained: "Brother, there are some very strange things about this trade. Let me explain it to you in detail."
Ma Yugao's words not only attracted Ma Senming's attention, but also the ears of others pricked up.
"The first few days before our convoy set off were very safe. We successfully traded the first few settlements, but when we were about to arrive at the Wensong settlement, we encountered a night attack by a group of corpses."
"Night attack?" Ma Senming was stunned.
"What does the night attack mean?" Song Ziyu asked blankly.
Ma Senming explained word for word: "Night is not a good time for zombies to act, because decay has caused these creatures to lose a lot of their ability to move at night... This is true for most zombies, except for those evolved monsters."
Zhao Yuanba added: "Night is a huge obstacle to the blurred vision of zombies. The only thing they can rely on to launch attacks is sound and smell."
Song Ziyu realized that most zombies are blind at night.
"This is very abnormal..." Ma Senming murmured.
Ma Yugao immediately explained: "I was on duty at the time, and before the zombies attacked, I heard the sound of a flute."
"The sound of the flute?" Ma Senming had an incredible expression on his face.
"Why is there the sound of the flute?" Tian Yue said angrily.
Here Ma Yugao continued to narrate: "We lost several brothers to the zombie attack on the first night! We managed to survive until dawn, and we quickly entered the Wensong settlement to repair."
"However, when we came out of Wensong settlement and prepared to go to the next settlement, this situation happened again!"
"The same sound of the flute sounded, and zombies attacked us. We were surrounded by zombies for four consecutive nights. Once, high-level zombies joined us. Brother Wang Kui died together with the zombies in order to cut off the queen. Dachun was also seriously injured."
"We all thought it was going to be over, but we didn't expect that starting on the fifth night, the flute sound disappeared."
"We haven't had anything like it since."
After speaking, Ma Yugao concluded with lingering fear: "Fortunately, that guy let us go, otherwise the situation would be unimaginable!"
After everyone heard this, they were surprised and amazed. Only Chen Agou looked at Yaoji little Loli thoughtfully.
After listening to Ma Yugao's words, Ma Senming said with relief: "There are countless unknown terrorist incidents in the wasteland. When I was young, I once saw the tragedy of one person destroying a city... You may have provoked people you shouldn't have provoked, but that expert finally ended up I’d better let you go, it seems like this is a happy event.”
Ma Yugao nodded and said: "Brother, we are lucky to have fulfilled our mission. This trade was very successful. We have received the goodwill of almost all the settlements, except the Snake Ear settlement."
"Don't worry about them, the Snake'ers and the others are not our friends." Ma Senming waved his hand and said, "Let's see what we get from this trade."
At the moment, Song Ziyu and the Big Three, led by Ma Yugao, came to a secret room and began to take stock of the success of the trading fleet.
This is a high-level profit-sharing meeting. Apart from the Big Three and Ma Yugao, the only other participant is Song Ziyu.
First up is gold!
The gold that Song Ziyu longs for!
It's coming...
When a bag of gold fell at Song Ziyu's feet, Song Ziyu's tense emotions finally relaxed.
These golds include smelted gold nuggets, forged jewelry, and rare nugget gold... all in total, they weigh about ten kilograms.
With this gold, I finally no longer have to worry.
Not caring at all about the attitudes of the Big Three, Song Ziyu pocketed all the gold without ceremony.
"This gold will be used to offset my payment, and we will discuss the rest." Song Ziyu said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
The three giants were all a little surprised. Although gold is hard currency, it has limited value and is not as important as arms and people. This Song Ziyu doesn't fight for anything, but only loves gold, which is really unpredictable.
