Chapter Fifty-Six: Boss Han

However, what Han Yu didn't know was that Mu Qingyu had no intention of driving Chief Gu away at all. This wasn't her home, so why would she want to drive someone away?

Besides, that guy surnamed Gu has nearly 20 thugs and weapons under his command. What are she and Mu Qingrong fighting alone?

Her main purpose was—to steal!

Taking advantage of the space, she broke into the home of the Gu family. She secretly told Mu Qingrong about her plan.

By evening, someone delivered steamed buns to each household, one bun per person, and half a bottle of mineral water.

The messenger then informed Mu Qingyu: "Your family only has 3 points today, and you are still 9 points short. Chief Gu said that since you are newcomers, you can owe points for three days, but if you do not make up for the points owed in those three days, you will be punished."

The person who brought the food was also a local resident. He looked at Mu Qingyu and spoke expressionlessly and mechanically: "Are you going to keep watch and build the wall tonight? Or are you going to the entertainment center? Or do you want to pay me back tomorrow?"

Mu Qingyu smiled and said, "Let's go keep watch and build the wall. What time do we leave?"

The man glanced at Mu Qingyu again, his expression somewhat complicated, but he still said, "Come down and assemble immediately after you finish eating."

Mu Qingyu readily agreed.

Mu Qingyu and her brother naturally wouldn't eat the steamed buns and water that were delivered. She casually knocked Han Yuting unconscious and tossed the food aside next to her.

Then they took out two fragrant and soft cakes and two bottles of milk from their storage space, which they shared.

By the time Mu Qingyu went down to assemble, almost everyone else had arrived.

There were about twenty villagers, and six men were guarding and directing them. The villagers were easily distinguishable from those under Chief Gu's command.

All of Chief Gu's men carried weapons, their faces either beaming with smiles or exuding arrogance. Some villagers bowed and scraped, others stared blankly, and still others were filled with fear and unease…

Mu Qingyu and her brother were urged to join the villagers' ranks, and the man with the hunting rifle was leading the group on Chief Gu's side.

The man with the shotgun gave a few perfunctory lectures, which were nothing more than threats that anyone who didn't work properly or tried to escape would be thrown out to feed the zombies.

Seeing that Mu Qingyu and her brother had chosen to do the bricklaying work, he didn't deliberately offer any lewd opinions, and led everyone out of the village without discrimination.

The wall surrounding the village is already more than halfway built, clearly indicating that these people are indeed building a defense.

Upon arriving at the destination, Mu Qingyu understood Chief Gu's intentions. He wanted to surround the entire village, but left the area facing the highway exit untouched, presumably for "fishing."

This person wants to build a post-apocalyptic fortress in this village; his ambitions are quite grand. If he manages to do it well, this place might become a survivor base in the future. However, in her previous life, Mu Qingyu had never heard of a large number of survivors here.

As you move further out, the number of zombies increases. Every now and then, zombies will pounce out from around the corner. The wall has only been under construction for a few days and is not high enough yet, so they probably climb over the wall to get in.

However, Chief Gu's men were more than capable of dealing with them. Clearly, these men were quite experienced in dealing with zombies, and they took care of them in no time.

The indigenous people were stunned and terrified.

Until the wall construction began, those six men were responsible for monitoring everyone and guarding the perimeter.

"Hey Han, why are you still on duty today? Weren't you the same yesterday?" With no zombies wandering around and the villagers working diligently again, they naturally started chatting during the lull in the work.

The speaker was a young man with a buzz cut, holding an axe. The "Han Tou'er" he was referring to was the man with the hunting rifle.

"What else can I do if I'm not on duty? I can't sleep in the dark." The man with the shotgun had a cigarette in his mouth but didn't light it.

The man with the buzz cut immediately let out a lewd laugh: "Let's go to the entertainment center! Everyone's there at night. And you know what, people in this backwater are pretty open-minded..."

As soon as the man with the buzz cut finished speaking, the others joined in with lewd chuckles.

The man with the shotgun didn't laugh: "What's the point? It's much more interesting than blowing a zombie's head off."

Perhaps this was the usual way the shotgun-wielding man acted; the crowd was not surprised by his answer, and even felt a bit awe—when killing zombies, the shotgun-wielding man was usually the fiercest, most violent, and most fearless.

He became the leader of others at a young age, not only because of the position given to him by Chief Gu, but more importantly because he respected him personally.

Moreover, Han is a high-ranking and capable leader who doesn't cause trouble and doesn't take advantage of others, so he has quite a few people who respect him.

But the man with the buzz cut, finding chatting with Han Tou'er pointless and lacking tact, turned his gaze to Mu Qingyu: "Little sister, why are you here to carry bricks on your first day? Aren't you tired?"

The insincere greeting was so greasy that Mu Qingyu almost threw up her dinner. She didn't want to talk to that person, lest she lose control and start a fight, which would ruin her plans for the evening.

There were six people here. She and Mu Qingrong looked unarmed, but her weapons and some of the weapons that Mu Qingrong had modified were lying in the space, ready to be taken out at any time.

She and Mu Qingrong still had miniature sleeve darts strapped to their arms, capable of firing three arrows in quick succession. If she wanted to escape, dealing with these six people wouldn't be a problem.

Once you cross the wall, you're in the wilderness. However, City A is located on a plain with no hills or ravines. Although it looks quite far from the highway, it's only a ten-minute drive if you have a car, so Mu Qingyu isn't worried at all.

Seeing that Mu Qingyu ignored him, the crew-cut man seemed a little annoyed, and his tone became sarcastic: "Little sister, this bricklaying work is not easy. If you work all night and don't get eaten by zombies, you'll only get five points. Come and chat with your brother, and your brother will immediately give you an extra three points."

Mu Qingyu ignored him and focused on carrying bricks. Mu Qingrong, on the other hand, was furious, but Mu Qingyu restrained him. He could only secretly memorize the man's face, planning to deal with him later when they left!

Among the twenty-three villagers in this group, there were only two women: one was Mu Qingyu, and the other was a woman in her thirties.

Mu Qingyu still ignored the crew-cut man, and the other guards burst into mocking laughter. The crew-cut man became somewhat embarrassed and angry, and he simply stepped forward and tried to grab Mu Qingyu's hand: "Don't push your luck—ah..."

The roar turned into a wail, and the man with the buzz cut was hit on the forehead, but it wasn't Mu Qingyu or Mu Qingrong who did it.

It was the man with the shotgun. He tapped the man with the buzz cut on the head with the barrel of his gun: "Don't cause trouble, and don't forget the boss's rules! She's here to fix the wall, so you have to make her fix it properly! If you want to have fun, go to the entertainment center; no one there will care about you."
