Chapter 146: Heating up, salvaging garbage and corpses
"Uncle Liang, aren't you curious why I hoard these things?" Meng Ci suddenly asked.
Liang Xiu put down the book in his hand, shook his head and said calmly: "Not curious."
Meng Ci swallowed, he had already thought of an excuse, why did Liang Xiu say he was not curious anymore?
Since Liang Xiu is not curious, Meng Ci must tell it.
"Uncle Liang, do you still remember Li Shanyang and the others?"
Liang Xiu nodded.
Meng Group is the property of the Meng family. Li Shanyang, a Phoenix man, actually tried to get involved, and...
Liang Xiu looked at Meng Ci, and found that Young Master Liang was easily influenced and actually listened to the group of people and wanted to transfer the Meng family's property to Li Shanyang.
If Meng Ci had not been unable to take over the company before he reached adulthood, the Meng Group would probably have ceased to exist long ago.
But in the end, Liang Xiu still failed to protect the Meng Group.
Thinking of this, Liang Xiu felt ashamed to face Meng Wan.
Meng Ci had no idea what Liang Xiu was thinking. He slumped over on the sofa, feeling depressed.
"I heard unconsciously before that Li Xiaoya is Li Shanyang's biological daughter."
“They treat me well just for all the assets of the Meng family.”
Having said that, he pretended to wipe away tears.
Shen Que was sitting next to Meng Ci. He knew what had happened to Meng Ci before, so he knew that everything he was doing now was just a pretense.
However, he still cooperated and took out a piece of paper from the coffee table and handed it to Meng Ci.
"Thank you!" Meng Ci covered his eyes with paper and said softly.
Then he wiped his eyes and held the paper in his hand.
Seeing Liang Xiu lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking, Meng Ci continued speaking.
"But I don't want to give them the things, and I'm afraid of being harassed by them."
"That's why I reluctantly let you, Uncle Liang, buy all the companies, funds, real estate, and other things, so that they have no hope of getting involved again."
"Then I bought this villa, renovated the surroundings, and bought these things."
"I plan to live here and stay at home every day. After two or three years, when Li Shanyang and his team have completely forgotten about me, I will start a new company."
“Before the rainstorm, I asked Uncle Liang to come over just to explain this situation to you.”
"By the way, I'd like to invite you to live with me, so that you won't be entangled by Li Shanyang and the others."
Although Meng Ci trusted Liang Xiu, he did not intend to tell Liang Xiu that he was actually a person who traveled through a book and had a space.
After all, if Liang Xiu knew that he was not the original owner, he might avenge the original owner.
“I didn’t expect that I would encounter the end of the world.”
Liang Xiu suddenly remembered that when Meng Ci came to him and asked him to buy the company, his eyes were slightly red and he looked sad. He thought that maybe Meng Ci was right.
Otherwise, why would Meng Ci, who usually obeyed Li Shanyang and the others, suddenly change his personality?
Also, why does Meng Ci hoard so many things?
Then I remembered that Meng Ci had not lived here for a long time, so I asked him about his situation in recent months.
Meng Ci briefly talked about his experiences in the past few months, but he mainly talked about how hard it was.
After hearing that Li Shanyang and others had died one after another, he just said that evildoers will be punished.
"Uncle Liang, can you perform magic?" Meng Ci suddenly asked.
Meng Ci's words came out so fast that Liang Xiu didn't react for a moment.
Meng Ci took the rope off his clothes, twisted it around and around, and performed magic tricks for Liang Xiu, but unfortunately it was not successful.
"How come I'm wrong again?"
Meng Ci was angry, and then ran into the house, found a book teaching magic, and lay on the coffee table to study it.
When Liang Xiu saw the magic book, he thought that the sausage that Meng Ci had taken out out of thin air just now might have been a magic trick.
As a result, the doubts in my mind disappeared, and I picked up the book that had been placed aside and continued reading.
Meng Ci felt relieved when he saw that Liang Xiu was not bothered by the fact that he had just taken out the sausage out of thin air.
However, this magic book is really interesting. Meng Ci was interested in studying it, but his hand speed is average and he is not very skilled, so there are many loopholes.
But Meng Ci had nothing to do and was not lacking in patience, so he studied it for several days.
The three of them stayed underground for more than ten days. The ice and snow outside had completely melted and the temperature had risen to around 20 degrees.
The city was flooded with water everywhere.
Various rubber boats were deployed.
The authorities also issued an announcement, asking everyone to salvage garbage, corpses and other items from the water, and then centrally dispose of and incinerate them.
Calculated by weight, thirty kilograms of garbage can only be exchanged for half a kilogram of food.
Although the exchange amount is small, people still come in droves just to exchange some food.
Therefore, many heavy and large human and animal corpses have become the target of everyone's competition.
However, there are still many people who did not transform the bodies of their family members into food. Instead, they pulled them to a high place and buried them in order to rest in peace.
Zhang Mingtian and Huang Zhi drove the rubber boat back to the 16th floor, took Wu Can and Huang Zhi's two family members to the mountain in the north and buried them.
But they didn't dare to pile up earth or erect tombstones, and they even had to make the graves look old, just to prevent others from digging up the bodies and exchanging them for things.
Of course, these corpses are not only dug up by humans, but also by wild beasts in the mountains.
However, Meng Ci didn't know these things.
It was only when Meng Ci heard Liang Xiu say that he wanted to go to the security team to exchange for food that he tried to dissuade him.
He was told to stay home and wait, as there was no shortage of food, but Liang Xiu did not listen.
Seeing his insistence, Meng Ci had no choice but to let him go.
Meng Ci and Shen Que didn't know how the virus spread. They only knew that when humans were infected with the virus on a large scale, more than a month had passed since the extreme cold.
The temperature is low now, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Moreover, Liang Xiu's job is simple, just recording the quantity, and he does not have close contact with the garbage, so he is not afraid of contracting the virus.
After learning that the government would burn all the garbage and corpses, Meng Ci felt that when the zombie era came, the scale of the zombies would not be that large, and it would be easy to deal with them.
Maybe the zombie siege will be resolved soon.
Moreover, with the corpses burning, the virus has no container to nourish itself, so the disaster should not be as serious as described in the book.
Time quickly came to the beginning of August.
Shen Que recalled the memories of his previous life. In about twenty days, the flood water will evaporate, and the temperature will reach thirty-five or thirty-six degrees by that time, and various influenza viruses will begin to run rampant.
At first, everyone thought it was just a common cold, so they didn't take precautions.
Unexpectedly, the situation became more serious afterwards.
It will take about a month for the temperature to rise above 60 degrees, and the virus will be defeated in just a few days.
But after a few days, Meng Ci heard from Liang Xiu that there were ferocious beasts in the sixth or seventh layer of flood.
Among them, crocodiles and water snakes are the main ones, and their bodies are larger than before the end of the world.
Some fish have mutated and start eating corpses in the water. Some fish, because they have not eaten meat for a long time, even attack human rubber boats.
For a while, the people who were salvaging all kinds of garbage from the water dared not go out again.
