doomsday scavengers

Seeing this young man starting to question him, Ye Qiu shook his head subconsciously: "I don't know him, but I have met him a few times."

"How many times have we met...? No, my brother usually hangs out in the Changsheng City area. This place is a hundred miles away. Where did you meet him?"

Hearing this, Ye Qiu shook his head, ignored him, turned his head and went back to the house, the young man was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Brother Zeng: "Hey, let's talk about your private affairs in private. This is not a place for the two of you to argue."

Immediately, the young man bit his lip and nodded, then obediently stood aside and watched Brother Zeng talking with the others.

"Okay, just you guys asking for leave, right?"

After finishing speaking, Brother Zeng took out a notebook from his pocket, wrote down a few notes, and then sent these people away. Before leaving, the young man wanted to turn around and ask about Ye Qiu, but Brother Zeng He was blasted away with a mouthful, and he had to talk about it in private if he said it was a big private matter, otherwise it would be disrespectful to his boss to talk about it, but in fact, Brother Zeng was just afraid that this kid would come and go and get along with him. Ye Qiu got acquainted, and that boy would also get a share of the good things hidden somewhere in Ye Qiu's mouth.

"Ye Qiu, how are you resting?"

Brother Zeng sent away those men, then went into the house to find Ye Qiu, looking at him with a half-smile on his face.

"Well, it's okay, I just have a headache..."

"Hey, headaches and fever are all trivial matters. Just take care of yourself for a few more days and you'll be fine. Just stay here with me for the next few days and I'll keep it comfortable for you to take care of!"

After finishing speaking, Brother Zeng made a pretense to go back to his room, but suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Ye Qiu: "By the way, that good thing you mentioned..."

When Ye Qiu, who was planning to lie down, heard this, his eyes rolled around a few times, and then he sat up quickly and said with a smile, "Oh, brother Zeng, there's no rush, you can't run away even if you have time. I'll take you there."

With this bad check, Brother Zeng was relieved a lot, and then he lay down on the bed beautifully and went to sleep, and then Ye Qiu also waded down in a daze.

"This is really difficult... Where can I find something good for him?"

Originally, it was just an excuse to prevaricate casually for the sake of easy work, but Brother Zeng felt at ease. Now things are going to explode, and I have to spend my time trying to find something good for him. I don’t know how to do this thing…

As he thought about it, Ye Qiu's eyes gradually became blurry, and soon his breathing became evener, and he actually fell into a deep sleep... After a while, there was also the sound of snoring coming from Brother Zeng's side.

"Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu!"

Ye Qiu, who was sleeping soundly, was having a sweet dream when he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise, then he reluctantly opened his eyes, and found that Brother Zeng was looking at him with a smile in front of him.

"Hmm...Brother Zeng, why did you wake up so soon?"

Brother Zeng grinned and made an exaggerated appearance: "Hurry? You've been sleeping for ten hours!"

Ye Qiu was startled and quickly looked at his watch and found that it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. He then patted his head and said bitterly: "Fuck, you've wasted such a long time..."

Brother Zeng on the side also deliberately said with a reproachful look: "Yes, you can't waste time, time is money and life!"

After saying that, he smiled and took Ye Qiu's arm: "Let's go, let's take you to see the world."

Seeing that the small leader of the organization he met only yesterday looked familiar to him at the moment, Ye Qiu suddenly felt that the word "money can turn ghosts around" is really very close to people's hearts.

People in the apocalypse live a poor life all day long, struggling day after day. Even people like Brother Zeng who have unique geographical conditions and live a stable life still have unspeakable secrets, boring, boring, and everything. They all pushed this group of ordinary people to explore some unknowns. Even if he only scratched a corner of the lottery ticket, he firmly believed that he had won the jackpot.

Reluctantly, he put on his clothes and got up. Ye Qiu was forcefully pulled by Brother Zeng to an open space in this mountain village. At this time, there were some scattered people gathered in the open space, seeming to be waiting. Wearing something.

"Brother Zeng, what are you doing here..."

Brother Zeng smiled mysteriously, raised his arm and put it on Ye Qiu's shoulder: "You are stupid. I will take you to collect rent later. By the way...hehe, take me to see that good thing you mentioned."

Confined to this small land, Brother Zeng's nerves have long been numb and unconscious. His daily tasks are getting up, collecting rent, and going to bed. From time to time, there are some trivial things, and even the slightest new things can arouse his excitement. Interest, in the final analysis, is to satisfy one's curiosity and add some fun to ordinary life.

"Oh... ok, when will we go?"

"I'll go there later, wait a minute, what's the rush?"

When Ye Qiu heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, anxious?Who is in a hurry... But I just thought so in my heart and did not say it out of my mouth.

Several people were waiting here boredly. Brother Zeng also squatted on the ground and dozed off. Then more and more people came here, and everyone started chatting in twos and threes. It wasn't until a bus arrived that Brother Zeng He quickly stood up.

"Let's go, let's get in the car."

Following Brother Zeng, he sat in the passenger seat of the car. Ye Qiu sat on the partition next to him, which seemed spacious. Then everyone found their seats one after another, and continued chatting in twos and threes, and the noisy discussion disappeared. Adding a bit of vitality to this boring night, only Brother Zeng looked at the night outside the window with a lonely look.

After sleeping for a while, Ye Qiu suddenly opened his eyes as a shock hit him.

"Hey, it's another night, it's not easy."

"It's okay, I have something good here... later... hehe!"

Leaning against the fender, Ye Qiu stared weakly and watched the group of guys getting out of the car in twos and threes. Then he didn't stand up until Brother Zeng called him and got out of the car together.

"Daqiang, come here."

As soon as he got out of the car, Brother Zeng shouted at a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face. Then when the man came over, he continued: "Brother, I have something to do today. You can take care of it for me. I'll buy you a drink later." ."

When Daqiang heard this, he looked surprised and said: "Wine? You still..."

"Shh...!" Hearing Daqiang's unbridled speech, Brother Zeng quickly interrupted him and made a silencing gesture.

After explaining something, Brother Zeng took Ye Qiu to a dilapidated house. Ye Qiu looked at him with a confused look on his face and asked blankly: "Brother Zeng, what are we doing here?"

When Brother Zeng heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily: "What, have you forgotten what you told me? Do you think I have to take Brother Zeng to open my eyes about the good things you mentioned?"

When Ye Qiu heard this, he hurriedly took up the conversation with a smile: "Haha, that's right, it's time to go and have a look."

Then Brother Zeng rolled his eyes at him, opened the door with a jingle of keys, and then revealed a motorcycle inside: "Hey, Brother Zeng will take you for a stroll today..."

After saying that, he directly pulled the motorcycle and rode on it, and then Ye Qiu also sat behind.

"Where to go?"

While talking, Brother Zeng turned on the clutch of the motorcycle, making a buzzing sound. When Ye Qiu in the back seat heard it, he scratched his head. How could he know where he was going?But at this time, I can only bite the bullet and make up nonsense, and then just say something casually.

"Oh, it's the same road I took to the base last time."

"The way to the base... You came in through the north gate, right?"

Ye Qiu didn't know which was the north gate and which was the east gate. Seeing him asking, he subconsciously responded a few times. Then Brother Zeng stepped on the accelerator with a buzz and left with a gust of wind. Along the way, he passed the person who got off the car. There, a group of younger brothers greeted him one after another when they saw him, but Brother Zeng just waved his hand and walked away without slowing down.

"Brother Zeng, what's going on today? It's been a long time since he was so lively."

"Yeah, it seems that after the kid came, he didn't know what he said to Brother Zeng, and that's what happened."

On the other side, Ye Qiu and the two had already driven out of the city gate. After greeting the guards, they rode straight towards the road Ye Qiu came from before. Not long after, they were caught by piles of rubbish. Standing in front of him, Brother Zeng said with a strange cry.

"Grass, why did you come here?"

Ye Qiu looked at the piles of garbage and various piles of materials in front of him, and suddenly laughed twice and said, "I... came here."

Looking helplessly at the piles of mountain-like obstacles, Brother Zeng smiled dryly, then called Ye Qiu to get out of the car, and said helplessly, "Forget it, we can only walk over, is it far? "

Ye Qiu twitched his chin and thought about it for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not far, probably only a mile or two."

Brother Zeng then nodded and walked directly towards the pile of scraps, followed by Ye Qiu.

"You ran so far, where did you come from?"

Climbing the obstacle in front of him, Brother Zeng also chatted with Ye Qiu.

"Me, I didn't come from anywhere, I just wandered around."

When Brother Zeng heard this, he smiled and cursed: "Damn, you are living a cool life."

After climbing a slope with great effort, Brother Zeng lay down on the pile of rubbish panting, complaining: "Fuck, why is there so much rubbish on this side of the north gate, it's fucking hard to get through."

The people who lived in their gathering place stayed in the circle of fences all day long, and no one ever came out. Even when Ye Qiu climbed over the garbage mountain that almost became a mountain peak, that day The guards all felt as if they had seen a ghost, but after seeing Ye Qiu's tattered appearance, they didn't think much and let him into the city. Ye Qiu was still a little confused at the time, but when he got inside, Ye Qiu discovered that There is a reason why their management is so loose.

A chain of mountain peaks kept appearing in front of the two of them. Brother Zeng was so tired that he was sweating profusely, and his arms almost lost consciousness. He suddenly screamed: "This is too damn much! You How did the kid get here!"

Hearing this, Ye Qiu scratched his head in confusion and recalled the situation of that day, and said helplessly: "Well, that's how I got here..."

Hearing this, Brother Zeng immediately stared at Ye Qiu with a monster look and shouted: "Are you an animal? You crawled over so hard? Don't you even break a sweat?" Grass!"

After finishing speaking, Brother Zeng struggled to climb up a section again, and then rolled down from the pile of rubbish exhausted, slumped on the ground, panting heavily.

"Take a break! Take a break!"

Seeing Brother Zeng's limp appearance, Ye Qiu helplessly jumped down from the top, leaned over and stared at Brother Zeng and whispered: "Brother Zeng... we are still far away, we have only walked more than 200 meters..."

Brother Zeng, who was paralyzed on the ground, looked up when he heard this. He had really walked more than 200 meters. Why was he as tired as a dog?Immediately said with emotion: "Hey! I'm old!"

Ye Qiu's eyes rolled around a few times, and he was a little confused as to why Brother Zeng was so concerned about what he said casually. However, since he had come to this point, he couldn't confess directly, so he might as well make some insinuations, and then he smiled. Sitting next to Brother Zeng, he said: "Brother Zeng, you didn't even ask me what kind of good guy I am, and you just followed me here like this?"

Brother Zeng, who was still paralyzed on the ground, immediately turned serious when he heard this. He stared at Ye Qiu with cold eyes: "Boy, don't let me play tricks on you, Brother Zeng, or you will die without knowing how."

When Ye Qiu heard this, his heart tightened. Although he was not worried about his life safety, if he had done something wrong, he would inevitably be afraid of ghosts knocking on his door, and he suddenly felt nervous about being discovered.

"Hehe, Brother Zeng, look at what you said, how dare I play tricks with you..."

"It's best, no matter how much it is, I have to see this number this time."

After finishing speaking, Brother Zeng lay down on the ground and gave Ye Qiu a five, then Ye Qiu was stunned, what does five mean?Forget it... It seems that the place where the two brothers showed me the last time after passing by... At that time, he said that he must take the road on the right, which means that their residence is on the road on the left. Let this so-called Brother Zeng figure it out for himself, and he has an explanation.

"There must be this number! It's not time to screw my head off!"

I have nowhere to go now, I finally found such a habitat, I can't offend this guy and then cause myself to wander, at least I have to stay for ten days and a half months before tearing up my face.

During the whole afternoon, the two kept climbing, climbing, and the 1000-meter-high mountain was climbed by the two of them abruptly. Ye Qiu was fine, he was used to this kind of life of running around, but the Brother Zeng was exhausted, looking at his pale face, it seemed that he would faint at any moment.

"Damn! So fucking tired! Are you there yet!?"

Collapsed on the ground and half squatting, Brother Zeng said while sweating profusely. Ye Qiu on the side looked straight at the distance in front of him... That was the road Ye Qiu passed when he came. Not far away, there was a perch. With a terrifying presence...

"Ye Qiu?"

It wasn't until Brother Zeng called again that Ye Qiu realized that someone was calling him, and responded blankly: "Ah? What's wrong?"

"I'm telling you...are we here yet! Brother Zeng, I'm almost lying on the floor from exhaustion...!"

Smiling apologetically, Ye Qiu hurriedly approached Brother Zeng with a playful smile and helped him up, flattering him, "It's not far, it's not far, work harder, Brother Zeng, we'll be there soon..."

Brother Zeng was so tired that he held his waist and kept walking forward with Ye Qiu's support while thinking to himself. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and looked at Ye Qiu in surprise and said, "That's not right... Why are you not tired at all? "

When Ye Qiu heard this, he chewed his tongue immediately and was speechless. He was stunned for a long time under Brother Zeng's puzzled gaze before he could hold back a sentence: "Oh! I usually like to exercise... I run seven or eight kilometers. It’s no big deal, so I was able to survive in this chaos of corpses.”

Brother Zeng looked at Ye Qiu a few times with doubt, and then stopped asking. However, thinking about it, this suspicion was not unreasonable. Even a person who loves exercise would somehow know how to do it after a continuous climb of more than 1000 meters. Sweat a little?But Ye Qiu acted as if nothing was wrong at this time, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he did not even break out a drop of sweat.

Ye Qiu on the side secretly activated his energy, secretly using the characteristics of his water energy to repair his tired cells. Soon the soreness in those muscles disappeared, and he continued to help Brother Zeng move forward. .

As he walked, Ye Qiu once again came to the place where he met the two strange brothers last time, and the herringbone intersection appeared in front of him again.

"Let you kid lie to me, this time you will suffer." Staring at the other side of the fork with a half-smile, Ye Qiu helped Brother Zeng and went straight inside.

Strangely enough, the road on the right clearly leads to a gathering place with some people, and there seems to be no human habitation on the other side. However, the road on the right looks messy, like a mountainous garbage dump. The one on the left The road looked clean, but there were no people around.

"This road is quite clean...Does anyone still live here?" Staring at the ground that had obviously been cleaned by people in surprise, Brother Zeng looked in disbelief. Then he suddenly thought of something and exclaimed: "No. ! Since there are people living here, will our cigarettes be stolen by others? "

When Ye Qiu heard this, he was stunned for a while. This guy was always kind to him. Was it because he mistakenly thought that the good thing in his mouth was a cigarette?But it was a pity that Ye Qiu didn't understand the professional terminology among their drug addicts. He didn't know that because he claimed to have "good stuff", he was misunderstood by this guy. Moreover, in the eyes of people in their circle, this It is indeed considered a good thing. A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god.

"Don't worry, Brother Zeng, my place is very secretive...!"

As he said that, Ye Qiu secretly laughed a few times. Regardless of Sanqi 21, he would first clean up the two brothers' homes. Even if there were really no cigarettes for him to cover up his lies, he would still be able to use a strategy to get rid of his crime. , thinking like this, Ye Qiu's pace suddenly became a little faster.
