55: Chapter 55: Food is brought back

Yusu Province, Mozhou City, Suiyang Anbu.

“Brother, I’m back,” Ma Youcai said as he rushed into the inner courtyard.

“How was it?” Mei Wenhua asked anxiously.

“Brother… it was horrible! Hundreds of zombies inside are all dead! All of them!” Ma Youcai said, both terrified and heartbroken.

“What about Naner?” Mei Wenhua looked at him expectantly.

“Young Master… he’s dead too,” Ma Youcai replied.

“How could this happen? How could this happen?” Mei Wenhua, hearing Ma Youcai’s answer, instantly lost all strength and slumped into a chair, saying sadly.

“Brother, it must have been those two people. We must avenge Young Master!” Ma Youcai began to fan the flames.

“Did you actually see them walk into our shop with your own eyes?” Mei Wenhua asked weakly, seeking confirmation.

“Although I didn’t see them, who else could it be besides them?” Ma Youcai argued.

“Use your pig brain! Hundreds of zombies, with just the two of them?” Mei Wenhua cursed ill-temperedly.

“Brother, I have another discovery,” Ma Youcai said, embarrassed, quickly adding.

“What discovery?”

“The zombies’ heads are all mangled, they must have been shot,” Ma Youcai said.

He hadn't seen what a head looked like after being shot, but that didn't stop him from making inferences.

“Guns?” Mei Wenhua was startled. Not just anyone had guns, so he quickly asked:

“Were you discovered?”

“No, absolutely not. From beginning to end, we didn’t even see a single person, so we definitely wouldn’t have been discovered.” Ma Youcai shook his head.

Mei Wenhua was a little scared, fearing it was done by people from the army. Because only they had guns. If it was found out that he tampered with things and raised zombies, then the trouble would be truly big. For now, he had to be careful and not reveal any flaws.

“Alright! That’s fine! Don’t investigate this matter for now, and don’t mention it to anyone outside.” Mei Wenhua instructed.

“Okay, Brother. What about those two people…?” Ma Youcai asked.

“You don’t need to worry about this matter, go back first!” Mei Wenhua said.

“Okay, Brother. Then I’ll leave first.”

“Qingyi, arrange for those two people to leave as soon as possible,” Mei Wenhua said to the Young woman.

“Okay, Boss Mei!”

After the Young woman left, Mei Wenhua cried bitterly in grief:

“Useless! All useless! My son! My poor son!”

…

“Commander, the Central Hall has been upgraded.”

“Good, start building the research cabin!” Oriental Chen said.

“Okay, Commander!”

…

“Brother, can you tell me now?” Luoer asked while walking.

“Do you know why we were locked in the supermarket yesterday?” Shen Wengang asked.

“Someone must have tried to trap us. If I find out who it is, I won’t let him off!” Luoer clenched her small fists and said fiercely.

“It was the other three people who went to Mozhou City with us,” Shen Wengang said calmly.

“What? It was them? How is that possible? Didn’t they go west? Could it be…?” Luoer didn’t dare to think further.

“That’s right, they didn’t go. Instead, they went ahead and ambushed us, waiting for us to walk right into it,” Shen Wengang said.

“No! Brother! Let’s go back and reason with them!” Luoer was furious and turned to walk back.

“Don’t go! We can’t beat them. And from their conversation, I vaguely heard that the Tier 2 Zombie was Mei Wenhua’s son. How do you think he’ll deal with us when he finds out we killed his son?” Shen Wengang stopped her.

“Hmph! These people are truly detestable! To trick people into feeding zombies, they’re practically inhuman!” Luoer stomped her feet angrily.

“Alright, let’s go. Let’s find a place to settle down first.”

Yusu Province, Mozhou City, Meilin Settlement.

“Boss Niu, welcome back!” Mayor Gong, hearing that Boss Niu had brought back a truckload of grain, quickly ran over to greet him.

“Mayor Gong, you even came in person!” Niu Xingwang quickly came up to shake his hand.

“You are a great hero of our Meilin, so I must personally welcome you!” Mayor Gong said, speaking formalities.

“Mayor Gong, you flatter me. I’m just an ordinary businessman, how could I be a great hero?” Niu Xingwang waved his hand.

“You are, you are!” Mayor Gong said affirmatively.

“Mayor Gong, besides flour, I also saw a lot of fresh vegetables!” At this moment, Secretary Liu hurriedly ran over and said.

“Really?” Mayor Gong was very surprised.

“Really! Cabbage! I saw it being unloaded from the truck, basket after basket, all fresh cabbage!” Secretary Liu said excitedly, spitting as he spoke.

“Boss Niu! You truly have incredible connections! How can you still get vegetables in this day and age?” Mayor Gong asked in surprise.

“Mayor Gong, I apologize! I didn’t tell you in advance. This time, besides transporting ten thousand catties of flour, I also transported ten thousand catties of potatoes and cabbage, and two live pigs.” Niu Xingwang looked like he was apologizing, but he was actually showing off.

“Whoa! And pigs! Boss Niu, are these pigs alright?” Mayor Gong quietly asked.

“Don’t worry, no problem! If Mayor Gong is not at ease, you can send someone to test them,” Niu Xingwang guaranteed.

“Then there’s no need. Since Boss Niu says there’s no problem, then naturally there’s no problem. How do you plan to handle these supplies next, Boss Niu?” Mayor Gong said.
