Chapter 193 Brother, Come to my house and have a seat
"Tell me, where do you want to choose as the end of your life?"
Meng Ci looked at the tall man who was struggling in front of him, tapped his cheek with a sharp knife, and then sighed.
"Look how kind we are to you."
"I purposely let you end your life in your own home to prevent your body from being exposed in the wilderness and eaten by wild animals."
“Woo woo woo.”
The tall man tried to speak, to express his desire to survive.
However, Meng Ci said nothing more and stabbed the tall man in the abdomen.
Because there was something stuffed in the tall man's mouth, he could only make low whimpering sounds.
Meng Ci and Shen Que ignored this person and started searching the house.
These people may have been very cautious and worried about their belongings being stolen, so they did not leave anything valuable behind.
In the end, the two men only found five kilograms of flour, two kilograms of pork, a large bag of dried vegetables and a few liters of water.
Of course, there were also two large bags of various garbage.
There are two main ways of generating electricity at the base today: one is to store electricity during periods of extreme heat, and the other is to generate electricity through motive power and thermal power.
Power electricity means that the government has built a building specifically for this purpose, which contains various modified bicycles, and residents can exchange points for riding their bicycles.
Thermal power generation, on the other hand, involves burning all kinds of garbage, and the source of the garbage depends on residents’ scavenging behavior.
Meng Ci put all the items into the space and planned to go to the points redemption point at the right time to exchange the garbage for points.
Meng Ci was worried that the other items might not be fresh enough, so he could take them back and feed them to Eggplant.
Before leaving, Meng Ci was worried that the tall man was not dead yet.
So Meng Ci deliberately checked the breath of the tall man lying motionless on the ground, and confirmed that he was no longer breathing. Then the two of them closed the door and left.
As for the tall man's body, Meng Ci was not worried at all.
It was dark now, and no one would notice their murder.
Although it is the polar night, the temperature is between 45 and 55 degrees.
I believe that within a few days, someone will notice the tall man’s stink and get rid of him.
As for the final destination of the body, Meng Ci felt that sending it for incineration to generate electricity could also atone for the sins of this evil man.
The two men walked downstairs and were about to drive away when they suddenly heard a surprised shout from a distance.
“Brother, brother!”
Meng Ci and Shen Que heard the voice and stopped getting into the car.
In a moment, Zhang Mingtian's figure appeared in front of the two people.
"Zhang Mingtian?" Meng Ci asked doubtfully.
"It's me!" The flashlight in Zhang Mingtian's hand flashed.
"I just saw two figures from a distance that looked very much like you, so I called out casually, but I didn't expect it was really you." Zhang Mingtian's voice was steady and powerful.
When Meng Ci and Shen Que went downstairs just now, they were worried that they would attract other people's attention if they walked too fast without a flashlight, so they took out a flashlight.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Mingtian's eyes were so sharp.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Zhang Mingtian was holding a big bag in his hand, and it seemed that he was out picking up trash.
Meng Ci said casually: "I came to see a friend."
Zhang Mingtian was a smart man. Knowing that Meng Ci didn't want to say more, he stopped asking and instead invited Meng Ci and Shen Que to his home for a visit.
Meng Ci and Shen Que couldn't refuse his kindness, so they went with him.
The house Zhang Mingtian rented has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
Huang Zhi now lives with Zhang Mingtian and his family with his children. Together with Zhang's mother and Song Meixuan, it is most cost-effective to rent a three-bedroom apartment.
And because Song Meixuan had given birth to a child, electricity is a scarce resource nowadays, and living on a high floor is extremely hot.
So Zhang Mingtian and Huang Zhi added points and lived on the first floor.
Both Zhang Mingtian and Huang Zhi have now joined the security team.
However, the security team works in three shifts, each shift lasts eight hours.
So after get off work, Zhang Mingtian and Huang Zhi would go out to pick up trash and exchange it for points.
Zhang Mingtian knocked on the door three times, but there was no sound of the door opening.
"Wife, Junyu, it's me."
As soon as Zhang Mingtian finished speaking, Meng Ci and Shen Que heard the sound of the door opening.
"uncle!"
A little boy's voice came from the house. Meng Ci deduced that the person should be Huang Zhi's child, Huang Junyu.
Zhang Mingtian touched Huang Junyu's head and praised him, "Junyu is very good today. Come and open the door for uncle."
Huang Junyu developed mental problems because his mother and other relatives died one after another during the extreme cold.
In the past few months, thanks to the careful care of Zhang's mother and Song Meixuan, he has gotten better.
"I'll let Auntie make you something delicious later."
"Okay." Huang Junyu's voice remained the same tone, but his originally expressionless face now showed a hint of smile.
Then Zhang Mingtian stepped aside to let Meng Ci and Shen Que in, and introduced them to Huang Junyu.
"Junyu, call me uncle."
Maybe Huang Junyu was unfamiliar with Meng Ci and Shen Que, so he didn't say hello. He just looked at the two of them deeply and quickly turned and went into one of the rooms.
"Brothers, Junyu is ill. Please don't mind if I have offended you."
Meng Ci and Shen Que knew something about Huang Junyu's affairs, and since he was just a child, they didn't say much.
On the contrary, I feel respect for Zhang Mingtian and Huang Zhi. It is not easy for two men to support this family.
Hearing the sound at the door, Zhang's mother hurried out.
"Son, who is it?"
"Is it Xiao Meng and Xiao Shen?"
It was too dark at night, and Zhang's mother could only identify the person by the voice, but she was not sure.
Zhang Mingtian supported the flustered mother, "Mom, it's them."
Meng Ci and Shen Que spoke up and called her aunt.
Song Meixuan came out holding the child and lit a candle on the table.
The room was relatively small, so under the dim candlelight, I could roughly see the interior of the room and everyone's faces.
Huang Junyu also appeared behind Song Meixuan, timidly pulling the corner of her clothes.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly."
Mother Zhang enthusiastically pulled the two of them in, poured two glasses of water, and even added some white sugar, which was relatively scarce in the apocalypse.
There were no sofas or other furniture in the room, only a few stools and a table made of stacked cardboard boxes with a piece of glass on top.
Mother Zhang looked embarrassed and said, "My home is very simple, please don't mind it."
After all, she had also heard from her son that the two children had purchased land and built new villas.
Their house is so simple and shabby that it is really not presentable.
"Of course not. Your room is quite nice." What Meng Ci said was true. There were tables, chairs, and even cups and other things.
In the tall man's house that Meng Ci had just searched, the bed was just a few wooden boards, and there was no table or even a dining table outside.
Zhang's mother and others also knew that Meng Ci was trying to comfort them, so they stopped talking about it.
