Carl was torn between his conscience and his desires.
It was as if an angel on the left and a devil on the right were fighting in his mind.
The devil said, I want to eat.
The angel said, no, you have to earn gold coins.
Then the demon choked the angel to death with one punch.
He really wants to eat the new flavor of beef jerky...
Carl's heart was filled with tears. After the Trade Festival, he would be thirty-five years old. He was already a middle-aged man who had been struggling in the world above for many years. Why would he be tempted by this kind of food that could not fill his stomach?
In the end, Karl and Gu Huaiwei reached an agreement.
A nut is worth a bullet.
A bag of beef jerky or a bag of tiger skin chicken feet can be deducted from Carl's bodyguard salary for one day.
Carl thought, at worst he could save some when he ate it himself, and then sell it to others in exchange for some gold coins at the trade festival.
He clenched his fists.
He must be able to control himself, he must...
"Why don't you let the green-eyed man in the store be your bodyguard? Seriously, he's quite skilled. You could train him well."
Karl was a little confused. Why did Gu Huaiwei go so far to find him?
Lin Snake is a better choice than him.
He once tried to scare the forest snake by shooting it, but the snake remained very calm and didn't even twitch its eyes.
That kind of look is definitely the look that only someone who is used to seeing life and death can show.
Cold, emotionless eyes, the look of a predator.
Gu Huaiwei answered truthfully: "He has to stay and look after the store." She also wanted to give Lin She two raw eggs and take him out as a bodyguard.
But there are only two employees in this store, so one of them must stay to look after it.
Karl touched his chin and said what he was thinking directly: "You two seem to have a good relationship. I thought you would go out together, leave your familiar environment, and be with me. Aren't you afraid that I will take you to the trade festival and sell you?"
Gu Huaiwei pursed her lips. Based on her observations during this period, Karl was a simple-minded person with strong limbs, good at mechanical manufacturing, sloppy, poor self-control, and relatively high moral standards.
Just look at the fact that he sold a few guns and was cheated by homeless people with fake gold coins every day. He cried and peed at night and swore to be more careful next time, but was cheated again.
Gu Huaiwei felt that it was more likely that she could take him to the trade festival and sell him.
"There's nothing to worry about." Gu Huaiwei had both a knife and a gun in her hands, so she wasn't too worried about accidents within the bus route.
"You look young, but you're quite brave." Carl raised his eyebrows, looking at him with admiration. "Our trip may take a few days. I need to go to the Black Tower Fortress to buy some goods. Do you want to come with me?"
"Sure." Gu Huaiwei remembered that the Black Tower Fortress was a place that sold guns, and she was also interested in it.
"You haven't been home for several days. Don't you miss home?"
Gu Huaiwei felt that Karl was too worried, so she asked, “Haven’t you heard a saying?”
"What?" Carl was completely confused.
Gu Huaiwei smiled and said, "Businessmen value profit over separation."
She is not a child who gets anxious if she doesn't come home at night.
She is a businesswoman.
Why would a businessman worry about traveling far away for the sake of good business?
When Lu Ziyi went to find Gu Huaiwei, Gu Huaiwei was about to come to her house to buy protective clothing.
The two met in the corridor, their eyes met, and they spoke at the same time.
"Do you have time now?"
"I have something to talk to you about."
Two sentences, said in unison.
This is such an awkward tacit understanding.
"Since we're both looking for each other, why don't you come sit in my room?" Lu Ziyi's voice was teasing, her slender fingers stroking the collar of her cheongsam, and she smiled charmingly, "We can talk slowly."
"We can talk here." Gu Huaiwei stood where she was, wanting to make her speech short.
"Come on." Lu Ziyi hooked her finger, "Sister, I don't eat people."
Gu Huaiwei came to Lu Ziyi's room. She lived in a Wizard of Oz-themed room. The room was clean, the bed was tidy, and even the green plants were trimmed. There was a white porcelain vase on the windowsill with a small lily of the valley in it.
Fragrant.
Without that sloppy Karl in front of her, Gu Huaiwei didn't feel anything. With the comparison, Gu Huaiwei felt that this room was much more comfortable.
Gu Huaiwei sat down and stated her purpose directly: "My business is very simple, long story short. How much is that intangible protective shield you are wearing? I want to buy one."
Lu Ziyi curled her lips into a smile and said lazily, "Well, this one has a price but no demand."
"Name your price."
In her opinion, most things in this world have a price. If there is no price, it means the price offered is not enough.
Lu Ziyi frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "I remember that you are not affected by the radiation outside, so why do you need a protective shield?"
"To block the wind and sand or something." Gu Huaiwei leaned back lazily. She was wearing a denim blue shirt dress today. The hem was a little long, reaching her calves, making it inconvenient to cross her legs.
"Then why don't you just wear a raincoat?"
"The raincoat is so stuffy." Gu Huaiwei's round-framed glasses covered her slightly sharp cat eyes. "You don't want to sell it? Or don't you have it?"
Lu Ziyi snorted softly: "You really know how to enjoy yourself."
"Don't mistreat anyone but yourself."
"Okay." Lu Ziyi sat on the bed across from Gu Huaiwei and spread out her hands, "I don't have it in stock, but I can call District 4 and have them mail it to me.
I see you have an inn here that connects to all the underground city stations. I don't know how you did it, but for 10,000 gold coins, I can help you get one."
