The pickup truck drove up to the door and stopped.
Zhu Wei and his three companions were the first to get off the train. They glanced back at the train full of supplies, and each of them had a look of great joy on their faces.
That's right.
On the way back.
Lin Mo lingered in the commercial street for a while, letting the four of them collect some supplies to bring back.
We cleared out all the zombies in this area ourselves, so we can't let the supplies go to other people for nothing!
The things on the vehicle are far from enough.
He didn't intend to let go of any of the nearby shops or the supplies in the commercial street.
This is also why others are asked to arrive early and wait.
just.
Take this opportunity.
I want to set new rules for the community!
I saw Zhu Wei and others.
The crowd at the door gradually came to their senses, their faces showing shock, and they couldn't help but crowd around.
"So much food..."
"So much food... I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it in six months..."
"Where did this modified car come from? It looks terrifying."
"No wonder they were able to find so much food..."
At this moment.
Lin Mo led Lin Muxue towards the crowd, and the scene immediately fell silent.
In front of the crowd.
Lin Meijing recognized her daughter at a glance and could no longer suppress her emotions, so she ran over to her.
"Xiaoxue".
When Lin Muxue saw Lin Meijing running towards her, tears welled up in her eyes: "Mom."
The mother and daughter embraced and wept.
The others ignored the situation and focused their attention on Lin Mo.
"You guys are amazing for bringing back so much food."
"You've just gotten back, so take a good rest. I'll take care of the food."
"I work out regularly and I'm really strong, I'll definitely help you carry it home!"
"Our whole family can help!"
Everyone rushed to help, afraid that Lin Mo wouldn't choose them.
In their view.
Lin Mo asked them to wait at the door beforehand, wasn't it because he wanted them to help move things?
afterwards.
They'll definitely get some compensation for their hard work.
"There's no rush."
"Since everyone in the neighborhood is here now, I have something to announce."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Everyone fell silent and looked at Lin Mo, waiting for him to say something next.
I don't know why.
They had a bad feeling that what was about to be announced was not good news.
.........
"You all know that too."
"I've cleared out all the zombies near the neighborhood, so everyone will be much safer living here from now on."
"and."
"Even if other zombies wander over later, I can handle them with my gun."
Regarding this statement...
No one present had any objections.
The zombies in the neighborhood have now been cleared out, and the zombies in the surrounding area have also been dealt with.
Compared to before.
They no longer had to live in constant fear of zombies breaking down the door, and they could finally sleep peacefully.
Although the zombies in the neighborhood were all voluntarily cleared out by these people in exchange for food last time.
but.
The zombies on the streets were thanks to Lin Mo; with him around, there was no need to worry about danger in the future.
"In that case..."
"You all know there's no such thing as a free lunch. It's not unreasonable for me to collect a little protection money, is it?"
That's right.
This was Lin Mo's purpose.
He felt that Wang Biao's approach had some merit, and he could just adopt it himself.
"From now on, everyone will have to pay protection money once a month."
"Priority will be given to collecting gold, silver and jewelry, followed by valuable items, and lastly, survival supplies."
"This will work too."
Lin Mo held a zombie crystal core in his hand: "These things are in zombie brains, you can try your luck."
"Not only can it be used to pay protection money, but you can also exchange any extra for food."
Upon hearing this...
Everyone's mood became somewhat heavy.
After all, they didn't have any of the things Lin Mo mentioned. They had used up all their valuables in the last food exchange, and now they were almost out of food.
As for that crystal core...
Are they expected to go out and hunt zombies? If they were that capable, they wouldn't need to live here seeking protection.
"There's no need for everyone to be so nervous."
"I'm not going to force you all to your deaths. Now there's a rare opportunity right in front of you."
"At that time, not only will you be able to easily pay the protection fee, but you will also be able to obtain a large amount of survival supplies."
The preceding parts were all setup.
His real purpose was to drive the others to become porters and empty the surrounding area of all its supplies.
As for Zhu Wei and others, their positions have been temporarily promoted, and they only need to be responsible for supervising the work.
This is a rare opportunity.
This area is currently very safe as there are no zombies. There are only a few wandering zombies occasionally, but I believe they can handle them.
One more thing.
He wanted to collect more zombie crystal cores.
Previously, he drove his tree-cutting vehicle recklessly, and among the zombie corpses scattered throughout the streets, there should have been some evolved zombies.
Let these people try their luck at the lottery one by one.
.........
Now that things have come to this...
This is the only path that is presented to others; there are no other options at all.
They could only follow Zhu Wei and others when they went out.
Some people aren't afraid; they've dealt with zombies in their neighborhoods and know they aren't that scary.
In addition.
Seeing the steel armored vehicle parked next to them, they didn't doubt Lin Mo's words; the zombies in the commercial area had probably been mostly cleared out.
and.
With Zhu Wei and others personally leading the team, they certainly aren't being led to their deaths.
even so.
There are still too few people like that.
Most people have some fear of zombies, but they have no choice but to grit their teeth and follow them.
At the entrance.
There was also a bald man and a woman standing there, hesitating to move forward.
It is worth mentioning that...
After recovering, Lin Meijing and Lin Muxue wanted to repay Lin Mo's kindness and prepared to go and help as well.
It's a pity.
Finally, Lin Mo stopped him and sent him back to rest.
There are many ways to repay kindness, and they will have many more opportunities in the future. These people are enough to help with this matter.
The crowd at the entrance gradually dispersed.
Lin Mo looked down at the zombie crystal core in his hand: "Now, let's see what use you are."
After saying that.
He looked up at the two people dawdling at the door: "Come here."
The bald man and woman felt as if they had been granted a pardon, and immediately turned around and ran to Lin Mo's side, without any fear in their hearts.
"Mr. Lin, do you need our help with unloading and moving the goods?"
"Although I am a woman, I am still very strong. I can carry these things in a few more trips."
That's not it.
He'll drive the pickup truck into the garage later and store the truck and cargo together in the space; that's it.
Lin Mo shook his head and looked at the two people in front of him: "I do need your help with something, but it's not about this."
The two were somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
But I didn't have too many thoughts in mind. As long as they weren't allowed to go out and take risks, I was fine with anything!
