Chapter 55 Freight Company 4 (Bonus Chapter 5 with Nutrient Solution)
Later, his father was transferred to a newly established branch company, and the whole family moved. Zhang Mo not only changed schools but also moved to a different city.
The past gradually faded from my mind.
Over time, Zhang Mo couldn't even remember the names of the members of the small gang who had bullied him.
Xiao Wei was the only one who beat him up for half a year straight, leaving a particularly deep impression on him.
In the end, he forgot many things, but he remembered Xiao Wei very clearly.
When they met again, his body seemed to still remember the pain he felt when he was beaten. Even though he had grown taller and stronger, his first reaction upon seeing Xiao Wei was still to turn and run away.
Because he accidentally bumped into someone he didn't want to see, Zhang Mo had nightmares all night.
When he woke up on the first day, his eyes were lifeless, he was listless, and his face was as pale as a zombie.
Zhang Mo repeatedly told himself, "I must find a new partner, and I must stay away from that woman!"
A new day begins.
Early in the morning, Zhang Mo found the person in charge and solemnly stated his demands.
The person in charge angrily rebuked, "Right now is when we are desperately short-staffed. How can you just change partners like that?"
"Otherwise, I can manage on my own," Zhang Mo promised through gritted teeth. He was going to great lengths to shake off Yun Xin.
"Stop messing around." The person in charge wanted to roll their eyes to the heavens, but held back. "Usually, two people working together complain about how tiring it is. You're doing it all by yourself? Are you out of your mind? Goods are piling up in the warehouse, unable to be delivered, and customers are already dissatisfied. If it's because of your personal reasons, the delivery time will have to be postponed by another day or two. If a customer complains, who will take responsibility?"
"If you receive a large number of customer complaints at once, do you not want this job anymore?"
"I..." Zhang Mo wanted to say defiantly that he didn't care! But in fact, he did care, and he needed this job.
“You suddenly said you wanted to change partners, and I can’t find a suitable candidate right now.” After explaining the serious consequences, the person in charge started to soften his tone, “Wait a couple of days until the sick employee recovers and comes back, and I’ll arrange one for you right away.”
"How about you just change it for me first?" Zhang Mo insisted. "Anyone will do, just change it."
The person in charge was extremely annoyed. Just then, someone called him.
"Hello, is that me? What's up?"
The person in charge walked away quickly while talking on the phone.
A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in Zhang Mo's heart.
Yun Xin arrived at work on time, only to find that her partner was still Zhang Mo. She was immediately displeased. "Didn't you say you were changing partners?"
Zhang Mo's expression was not good. "We don't have enough manpower, so we can't replace them for the time being."
Yun Xin initially wanted to protest, but then she thought that teaming up with her might be the punishment, so she smiled and said, "I am willing to obey the orders of my superiors."
That's how it was settled.
During the drive, Zhang Mo seemed to be concentrating on driving and didn't speak to Yun Xin again.
The atmosphere was very somber.
Yunxin pretended not to know and took out her phone to read the news.
Since the Evolution Game was made public, the lives of the Federation's citizens have become incredibly chaotic. Every day is filled with uproar, and the trending news changes several times a day.
Yunxin checks the news several times a day to avoid missing important information.
Open a search engine right now, and the top trending search is: "Restaurant owner deliberately used stale ingredients to cook in order to get an A, causing a large number of customers to have diarrhea!!"
Click in to take a closer look.
The blogger accused the restaurant owner of resorting to any means to get rid of the "misfortune" debuff in a accusatory tone.
Currently, more than ten customers have been sent to the hospital.
The restaurant owner orchestrated the whole thing, harming someone before helping them induce vomiting and preventing others from eating.
After being exposed, he insisted that he did not do it on purpose.
However, the photos show that the customer was clutching his stomach and looked pale.
The restaurant owner stared at a point in the void, beaming with joy, his face full of undisguised smiles.
"This is outrageous! This is playing with people's lives."
"Food poisoning can lead to death. People are only concerned with their own survival, regardless of the lives of others."
"Have some basic moral principles."
"Some people are still alive, but they are already dead. Some people are already dead, but they are still alive."
"We strongly urge the government to investigate and severely punish these illegal activities! Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, won't the federal government descend into chaos?"
The comments section overwhelmingly condemned the unscrupulous merchants.
Everyone appeared righteous, upright, and unaffected by temptation.
However, just one night after the blogger posted at 9 pm last night, numerous food poisoning incidents occurred across the federal government, all of which were orchestrated by the sellers themselves.
The blogger was stunned. "I'm sharing this to remind everyone to avoid eating out indiscriminately. I also want to condemn the unscrupulous sellers who have lost all conscience."
The actual effect was that the strategy of "farming A" became widely known. Some people even went so far as to come up with other strategies, including, but not limited to, setting fire to shopping malls and then telling everyone to escape, or putting croton seeds in food and then providing antidiarrheal medication to people with diarrhea.
Society as a whole descended into chaos.
Besides avoiding accidents, they also had to be wary of being harmed by their own kind. Everyone was overwhelmed and lived in constant fear.
Yunxin stared at her phone screen for five minutes.
He then calmly withdrew.
I reopened the search engine after a while.
The miracle did not happen, and the same term remains at the top of the trending searches.
Yunxin gave up and started browsing other news on the trending topics list.
"I bought storage boxes on the 3rd floor, I'll deliver them. I bought medicine and a first-aid kit on the 6th floor, you go there alone." Zhang Mo spoke in a businesslike manner. "After the customers sign for the packages, we'll meet by the truck on the first floor, and then we'll go to the next location together."
Yun Xin asked doubtfully, "It's my first day at work today. Are you sure you want me to go alone?"
"Precisely because you're a newcomer, you need to be given the opportunity to train and grow." Zhang Mo's tone was both official and cold. "Go a few more times, and you'll be able to graduate once you're proficient."
Yun Xin didn't say anything.
"Or is it that you still couldn't learn such a simple thing after I did it so many times yesterday?" Zhang Mo asked back.
"Okay, I'll go by myself."
Since Zhang Mo dared to let her go alone, there was nothing she wouldn't dare to do. Yun Xin took the delivery slip, hugged the cardboard box, and took the elevator upstairs.
Zhang Mo used a small truck to pull a large express delivery box and took another elevator upstairs.
"Ding-dong." The elevator doors opened.
Zhang Mo took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. As he stepped out of the elevator, a standard smile appeared on his lips.
Then find the customer's address, knock politely on the door, and say loudly, "We are from the freight company, here to deliver goods, please open the door."
After waiting for a while, no one answered.
Just as Zhang Mo was wondering if the customer wasn't home and whether he should call to confirm, the door opened.
"Hello, I am..." Zhang Mo was about to repeat himself when he saw that the three people inside the door could not straighten up and were clutching their stomachs and crying out.
"Help me call an ambulance," the man, barely managing to stay awake, said haltingly as he rushed to open the door.
Zhang Mo remained silent, then resignedly took out his phone, dialed an ambulance, and also called the police.
"Th-thank you." The man leaned against the white wall, his face contorted in pain, looking as if he might collapse at any moment, yet he still remembered to say thank you.
Zhang Mo reluctantly replied, "No need to be polite, it's my pleasure."
The ambulance arrived quickly and took the family of three to the hospital.
The police arrived shortly afterward and began their investigation.
In just a short while, they found a bowl of wild vegetables on the dining table.
"It seems they've been mistaking the poisonous *Gnaphalium affine* for *Gnaphalium affine*. The two are very similar in color and shape, and most people can't tell them apart. For the safety of the public, the best thing to do is not to dig up wild vegetables."
Yunxin received a five-star review after delivering the package. She waited for ages by the delivery truck on the first floor but didn't see anyone; instead, she saw an ambulance and a police car.
With a vague premonition in her heart, she took the elevator to the 3rd floor.
When they arrived, they found a house with its door wide open, police officers and medical staff going in and out, and Zhang Mo sitting at the door, looking dejected.
"We're a freight company, we're only responsible for deliveries, nothing else is our business," Yun Xin said deliberately. "Mind your own business?"
These are the words Zhang Mo said to her yesterday, and it's just right to return them now.
Zhang Mo rubbed his face and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "The person is almost lying on the ground, how can I bear to leave them alone?"
"You have the kindness to save strangers, but can't you use that kindness on children younger than yourself?" Yunxin didn't understand. "Xiao Wei is so young, and he used to be so thin. How can you bear to bully him with others?"
"What do you know?" Zhang Mo recounted the past. "If I didn't beat him up, I would have gotten beaten up. That was the situation back then. I was just a kid, I had no choice."
"When I was a child, I liked to fantasize. In my dreams, I always thought of myself as a great hero, believing that I could do anything and that I could save others."
"But in reality? I can't even save myself."
"The process of growing up seems to be about gradually having your edges smoothed out by reality and accepting your mediocrity. I'm not a great hero, I'm just an ordinary person."
"Don't bring up the issue of saving lives. As long as I don't harm society, I'm already a qualified citizen."
For a moment, Yunxin didn't know what to say.
After taking Xiao Wei in, she made a special investigation into which children had bullied Xiao Wei.
She memorized his name, age, and appearance.
However, while the surface-level facts can be investigated, the truth hidden beneath the surface is not so easy to uncover.
No one told her that Zhang Mo followed those people because he had no other choice.
Looking at Zhang Mo, Yun Xin sometimes felt that although his body had grown up, the soul of that chubby little boy who had been bullied and had nowhere to confide in still lived inside.
No one but himself knows the profound impact his childhood experiences had on him.
"Besides, Xiao Wei is a complete scoundrel," Zhang Mo cursed. "I went along to beat him up, and I always held back. Later, he came to my school and beat me up, hitting me hard without any hesitation."
"And the timing was incredibly precise. Every time the marks were about to disappear, he would come and inflict new wounds, forcing me to carry these injuries every day for six months."
"My classmates gossiped behind my back, thinking I was an idiot who would hurt myself every now and then."
Yunxin: ?
"He hit you?"
“Yes.” Zhang Mo recounted in detail what happened later when Xiao Wei sought revenge, and finally pulled Yun Xin aside to judge, “Tell me, wasn’t he going too far? He even gave me psychological trauma.”
In response, Yunxin said, "You deserve it."
Zhang Mo: ? ? ?
"You say you were just following them, you say you held back when you attacked, but even if everything you said is true, you can't estimate how much harm your actions caused Xiao Wei," Yun Xin said, enunciating each word clearly. "You were the ones who provoked him first!"
