Chapter 26
A Brilliant Idea
“Zhu Ming, forget it.”
“He’s already been bitten by a zombie. We don’t need to do anything.”
Wu Jianguo called out to the brawny man.
After all, Lin Hua had not turned into a zombie yet, and Wu Jianguo could not bear to do anything to him.
“You’re lucky, kid!”
The brawny man, Zhu Ming, returned to the car.
“Let’s go. We’ll transport the gold over and exchange it for food. Then, our mission will be completed.”
Wu Jianguo started the engine.
The two pickup trucks drove to the supermarket one after the other…
In the supermarket.
Su Xiaoyu and Lin Momo leaned against each other as they watched the educational film.
“You see, you can also do this and this.
“I didn’t know about this before.”
Su Xiaoyu took note of the scenes as she watched.
Lin Momo was too lazy to remember it all.
Whatever, she preferred to be passive.
“Sister Xiaoyu, did you and Master know each other before?” The curious Lin Momo asked.
“Yeap!
“I lived in the apartment opposite his.
“I used to see him jogging downstairs every day.
“There were a few times when I wanted to say hello to him, but he was too fast. I couldn’t even catch up.”
Su Xiaoyu covered her mouth and laughed.
She thought that the two of them could get to know each other through some opportunity, but who knew that the apocalypse would come?
That’s good. Now, they could be considered acquaintances, although the way they got to know each other was a little strange.
“By the way, Sister Xiaoyu…”
“What if master goes out on his errands, and we happen to get hungry?”
Lin Momo raised an important question.
“That’s a very good question…” she said.
“It’s a valid concern.
“It’s fine if Master goes out for half a day, but if he’s gone for a day or two…
“We might go berserk,”
Su Xiaoyu pinched her chin.
“Yeah, what should we do…
“We can’t possibly go out to eat humans, right?”
“Besides, we won’t gain anything without Master’s blood.”
Lin Momo also expressed her concern.
“I have an idea!”
Su Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up.
“We can secretly drain some of it while master is asleep, like how they do it at blood donations.
“I’ll store it in the cold storage.
“In case of emergencies!” Su Xiaoyu said proudly.
I’m really a clever little brat, I can even think of such a great idea.
“Master won’t find out, will he?”
Lin Momo expressed her concern.
“Don’t worry!
“Master sleeps like a log after our nightly exercise.
“When the time comes, we’ll each get a bag.
“Be gentle, don’t wake him up.”
Su Xiaoyu patted Lin Momo’s back to encourage her.
“Alright…
“Then let’s give it a try.”
Lin Momo had finally been successfully bewitched by Su Xiaoyu.
At that moment, the sound of a vehicle pulling up could be heard from outside.
Two pickup trucks also appeared on the surveillance screen.
“Master has returned!
“Let’s go and welcome him!”
Su Xiaoyu jumped up gleefully.
Although the two of them had not seen Wang Ran for only an hour, it felt like they had been separated for a few days. They missed him very much.
Su Xiaoyu opened the door and the two girls punched and kicked at the zombies along the way. After blowing up a few zombies, they rushed to the front of the pickup.
“Master!”
Su Xiaoyu threw herself into Wang Ran’s arms.
“Aowu!”
The little Golden Retriever cried out, as if she had been woken up, expressing her dissatisfaction.
“Master, you’ve even brought a little fellow back!
“So cute!”
Su Xiaoyu took the Golden Retriever in her arms.
“Master, I want a hug too!”
Lin Momo immediately threw herself into Wang Ran’s arms.
It was a completely different sensation.
After all, this one had significantly larger double airbags.
“Alright, let’s get these bags in first.”
Wang Ran pointed at the bag of gold in the back seat of the pickup.
“Yes!”
The two girls carried two bags in each hand and carried them to the warehouse easily.
“Oh my god, how are those girls so strong….”
The brawny man, Zhu Ming, was stunned.
They did not even seem to be struggling…
It was terrifying, too terrifying.
“Alright, let’s wrap it up,” Wang Ran said to Wu Jianguo.
“Brother Wang Ran.
“If it had not been for you this time, we might have all died inside.
“You have the final say on how and how much you’re willing to give us!” Wu Jianguo said solemnly.
Wang Ran thought about it. There was a total of more than 500 kilograms of gold.
Splitting it in half would be 250 kilograms.
According to the exchange rate he had posted online, he could get at least 2,500 pounds of food.
But…
Wang Ran had also considered a practical problem.
There were only a few dozen people in Wu Jianguo’s campsite. It was impossible for them to finish all the food given to them within the shelf life.
“Let’s do it this way.
“I’ll give you 1,000 pounds of food.
“I’ll add in 10 boxes of milk, 5 boxes of beer, and one box of Lao Gan Ma.
“The shelf life of food is only about 10 days. Don’t save it. Finish it as soon as you can,” Wang Ran said, after thinking for a while.
Wu Jianguo’s eyes lit up.
This was much more than he had imagined!
On this trip, although they had provided the key, it was Wang Ran’s strength that allowed them to even take a single gold bar. If anything, they were bound for certain doom there.
500 pounds of food would have been great.
Who knew that he would be willing to give 1,000 pounds!
It even came with some beer and Lao Gan Ma…
It was a great deal!
His brothers had taken the risk to search for supplies. If only they could go back and have a sip of beer…
It was worth it!
“Brother Wang Ran, you’re too generous!
“I’m a little embarrassed!” Wu Jianguo scratched the back of his head and said.
“Then… should I halve it?” Wang Ran joked.
“No need, no need!
“We’ll do as you say!” Wu Jianguo grinned broadly.
“You guys clear the road, I’ll arrange for people to move the things out.”
After Wang ran finished Rpeaking, he took the remaining bags of gold and went back to the warehouse.
“Brothers, clear the way!”
Wu Jianguo and his men began to clear out the wandering zombies nearby.
They might not be able to defeat the mutant zombies, but these regular zombies were easy to deal with.
Soon, Lin Momo came out of the warehouse with a forklift.
As an intern, she had learned how to operate this thing.
Next, everyone began to move the goods into the truck.
1,000 pounds was not a small number.
Two pickup trucks could not fit them all.
In the end, he provided them with another two small vans.
“That’s enough, Brother Wang Ran.
“You’re a saint.
“If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me!” Wu Jianguo looked satisfied.
After this trip, the people in the camp would no longer need to save on food.
“Take one of these as a memento.”
Wang Ran threw a gold brick into Wu Jianguo’s arms.
They had risked their lives to accompany him into the vault, so they should have some souvenirs.
“Alright!
“I hope we’ll meet again in the future!
“Brothers, let’s return!”
Under Wu Jianguo’s command, the convoy drove toward their campsite in a grandiose manner.
“I heard that you can bite into gold, is that true…”
Wu Jianguo put the gold brick in his mouth and bit down on it.
He really managed to leave a mark.
“Boss, aren’t you afraid of getting gold stuck in your teeth and swallowing it?” the brawny man, Zhu Ming, said with a smile.
“What’s there to be afraid of? there’s no need to be concerned about hygiene in this day and age.”
Wu Jianguo remained unconcerned.
He had no idea how long more he could survive in this world, so what was the point of thinking so much?
