The armored vehicle stopped and Zhu Changqing jumped down.
"You are?" Zhu Changqing looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. The man's body exuded a strong energy fluctuation. Obviously, he was a paranormal, and his strength was not ordinary.
"Haha, my surname is Sun. You can call me Old Sun. In this small Ye County, I can be considered as a leader. May I know why you are here?"
The man surnamed Sun handed a cigarette to Zhu Changqing and asked carefully.
Zhu Changqing glanced at the brand of the cigarette. Ha! Hard Chinese.
In the post-apocalyptic world, even homemade cigarettes were extremely precious. Not to mention China, even the leaders of the military tried their best to quit smoking as there was nothing left to smoke.
Zhu Changqing did not take the cigarette. He had been in the military for a long time, so he naturally had a certain level of insight. He could see that the man was worried that the military would rob his property. After all, in this world without rules, those with strength had the right to decide the fate of others. There was not much difference between an army and a bandit if they met a commander who did not care about morality.
"I am just passing by. I have a task to do, so I borrowed the road and took a rest in this town."
Zhu Changqing said lightly.
"Haha, okay. You are my guests. If you have anything, just tell me. I will entertain you well."
"There is no need to entertain us. We have brought dry food." Zhu Changqing waved his hand. "However, if Mr. Sun has gasoline and food reserves, the military is willing to buy them with mutant meat. The price is negotiable."
On the way to Ye County, Zhu Changqing saw that the gas station and granary had been emptied. Looking at the well-nourished and greasy face of the man surnamed Sun, he naturally knew that the other party had a lot of stock.
Hearing about mutant meat, the man surnamed Sun's eyes lit up. But in the end, he still waved his hand and said, "Chief, you must be joking. How can we have gasoline and food now? There are hundreds of mouths in Ye County, and the production has not recovered. We don't even have enough to eat."
Of course, the man surnamed Sun coveted the mutant meat. But he also knew that in the post-apocalyptic world, the two parties must be equal in strength. Otherwise, the other party would suddenly shoot him during the transaction, and then there would be nothing left.
"Oh? Is that so … "Zhu Changqing smiled. No one knew what Zhu Changqing was thinking right now. The man surnamed Sun looked a little flustered.
Jiang Liushi didn't care about all of this. Although he had seen that Boss Sun was a tyrant, he didn't want to kill Boss Sun and distribute the food to the people.
After all, this was the Post-Apocalyptic Era, where the strong set the rules. In a situation where there were no moral and legal constraints, it was not strange for human greed, selfishness, and cruelty to be shown.
Although this man surnamed Sun's extravagant lifestyle caused many people to starve to death, in a sense, his construction of the city walls also protected the people of Ye County. Otherwise, Ye County might not be able to survive so many people.
Of course, if Zhu Changqing really wanted to force them to buy and sell, or even rob them of gasoline and diesel, Jiang Liushi didn't mind sharing a piece of the pie!
After doomsday, no one could say that they were noble. Jiang Liushi did not have any moral burden when robbing resources, especially robbing resources from the local tyrant.
"Ying, turn left at the fork in front and drive into the alley. Walk for about seven to eight hundred meters and turn right at the next intersection …"
Jiang Liushi said to Ying.
After all, he had returned to his mother's hometown, so Jiang Liushi wanted to visit it.
The ancestral house was no longer there, but after his uncle's separation, he had lived a good life in Ye County. He had built a two-story building, which was still there.
Only the rich could afford to live in a villa in the city, but it was normal to live in a villa in the countryside of Jiangnan. Even two floors were considered low. The cost of building an ordinary small building was only one-tenth to one-fifth of a commercial building in the city.
When Jiang Liushi was a child, he often lived in his uncle's house. His uncle only had one daughter, so he treated him like a son.
His aunt was good at cooking, and his cousin, Su Han, was also very good to him. When he was a child, he was thin, so whenever he was bullied, Su Han would take him to fight back.
Living in his uncle's house had left Jiang Liushi with beautiful memories. He still remembered that Su Han had taken him to the mountains to catch grasshoppers, chicken oil mushrooms, dig up Reptilian monkeys, and catch fish in the water.
Later, after Jiang Liushi left Ye County, he had less contact with his uncle's family. He only knew that Su Han had been admitted to a good agricultural university.
Recalling those memories, Jiang Liushi felt as if a lifetime had passed. The closer he got to his uncle's house, the faster his heartbeat became. He was worried that his uncle's family would die at the beginning of doomsday if he saw a messy house.
As the MCV drove into the narrower and narrower streets, Jiang Liushi gradually became familiar with the surrounding scenes.
Although many places had changed, Jiang Liushi could still vaguely remember their original appearance.
The streets here had become cheap cement roads. With Ying's driving skills, it was easy for the MCV to pass through the narrow streets.
Finally, Jiang Liushi saw his uncle's house.
It was a two-story building with white walls and green tiles. The courtyard was a bit older than he remembered, but the grass and trees in the courtyard were still fresh. It was obvious that someone had been taking care of it.
Jiang Liushi stopped the MCV, and the door was closed. The road in front of the door was still clean, so it should be someone living there. Jiang Liushi opened the door and shouted, "Uncle, aunt, I'm Liushi. Are you there?"
Jiang Liushi was looking forward to seeing his uncle's figure appear at the door. Jiang Zhuying also looked over. She was young, and she had been with her parents most of the time, so she didn't have too many memories of her uncle's family.
"Uncle, are you there?"
Hearing no answer, Jiang Liushi shouted again. His voice was not low, so it was reasonable to say that the people inside should have heard him.
He looked at Ran Xiyu, and she nodded, "Brother Jiang, there is someone inside. He is coming out."
Ran Xiyu had just finished speaking when the door opened, and a strange man with a strong figure appeared at the door. He was holding an iron bar in one hand, and his clothes were messy. His face was flushed, and he looked impatient and angry.
"Who the f * ck are you? Why are you shouting here in broad daylight? "
Jiang Liushi's face suddenly changed. "Who are you?"
The strange man didn't have any special ability fluctuations, but his figure was similar to that of a fitness trainer, so it was obvious that his skills were not bad.
"You asked me who I am? I also asked you who you are! I live here, so who the f * ck is your uncle? I don't have a nephew like you. You want to be my relative? Get out of here, or I will beat you to death! "
The strange man said coldly. Then, he walked back while cursing and slammed the door shut.
