Chapter 82 True Mace
Jingshu frowned. Not to mention that she had been worried about the steel bars and barbed wire these days.
I didn't stockpile these in large quantities in my previous life. I only know that during this period every household installed more anti-theft bars and reinforced doors, which caused the prices of these materials to skyrocket. By the time there was demand in this life, the material factories had already closed down.
Jingshu was about to steal some, but found that all the major manufacturers were out of stock. Then she suddenly realized that any strategic materials would have been smuggled away and stored by the government, and would be used at critical moments.
Because there is a law that states that when a country is in crisis, local governments have the right to levy all strategic materials.
Half of the police force in Wucheng must be doing these things. Otherwise, how can we explain that they are nowhere to be found when we need something, while the armed police and special police are mysteriously nowhere to be seen all day long, and they say that their duties are not within the scope of arresting people now?
Another point is that Heng Jin, the young master who finally became the boss of Wucheng Logistics before the apocalypse, was actually busier than Jingshu in the past six months.
The express delivery industry was suddenly integrated into a state-owned enterprise department by the state three months ago. After SF Express, China Post, Cainiao and others became the leaders in charge of other express delivery logistics, it has completely faded from the screen.
Even Huabei and Jiebei, which allow users to borrow money every month, have stopped their operations. Jack Ma has unknowingly changed his career.
Wanda's Wang Jianlin, despite being in debts of hundreds of billions, remains a grandfather-level figure. How many people would be killed if such a figure fell? Therefore, he still needs good resources to support him. His son Wang Congsi even spread the news that he has set up dozens of "Wang Congsi's secret grain depots" across the country, and he will reveal them when he really reaches the end of his rope.
People all over the country sighed and said that seeing how wasteful Wang Congsi was, they knew that his father was still very rich.
In her previous life, Jingshu was only concerned with surviving and didn't pay attention to these things, but in this life, she discovered some suspicious things. After knowing the news, many giants began to change their careers and started a new round of dividing the cake.
Heng Jin is always the first on the cover of WeChat Sports, taking more than 20,000 steps every day. When asked what he does, he is always transporting and unloading goods and taking orders.
It's the end of the world, how come a logistics worker like you is still so busy? Who would still place orders for you?
Now I seem to understand a little bit. It really seems that it is always in the hands of 3% of people.
"Hello? Hello?"
The anxious voice from the other end of the phone interrupted Jingshu's thoughts.
"Okay, send me your location and I'll pick you up."
Jingshu took bandages, alcohol and some trauma medicine and hurried to Wucheng County, 30 kilometers away.
Wang Dazhao lay pale on the bed in the closed small hotel, moaning softly. A kitchen knife had cut deeply into his right shoulder and neck, so deep that the bone was visible. Blood was all over the floor. When Jingshu arrived, he was almost in shock, but he still insisted on keeping his eyes open.
The first thing Wang Dazhao said to Jingshu was: "Save me! I thought we were all dead, but one person still escaped. I want to kill him myself..." He gasped and said intermittently: "Once you have taken revenge, my life will be yours."
Wang Qiqi paced back and forth anxiously: "All the major hospitals are out of medicine. You injured your artery. You'll die if the knife is pulled out. It would be more reliable if you write some last words so that I can avenge you. Anyway, go home first. I have medicine that I can take to the hospital for the doctor to try."
Wang Dazhao laughed bitterly: "A place without them is not home. If I die unfortunately, there is no need to avenge me..."
"With this injury, he'll be dead if he runs back. Let me do it." Jing Shu put down the medicine box and tore Wang Dazhao's clothes off.
"Hey, hey, hey, Jingshu, what are you trying to do?" Wang Qiqi ran over. "We can't pull out the knife. The wound is too big and needs hemostat and stitches!"
Jingshu ignored Wang Qiqi.
"Your life is mine, so take good care of it in the future." Jing Shu pried open Wang Dazhao's mouth, stuffed in a drop of spiritual spring water and a mess of hemostatic medicine, took a big gulp of water, and then pulled out the kitchen knife before either of them could react, and blood immediately sprayed all over Wang Qiqi's face.
"It's over!" Wang Qiqi thought to herself at the time, and Wang Dazhao screamed in pain.
Who knew that Jingshu would be very skillful in a short while.
He treated the wound and finally bandaged it, "Okay, let's go."
Wang Qiqi was genuinely frightened by this brutal act. He froze in his tracks, swallowing a mouthful of blood. "It's healed? How did you stop the bleeding? You clearly cut an artery."
"While Dao isn't paying attention, okay, go back and take care of him. Once he's well, I'll take revenge. I still have something for Wang Dazhao to do."
Jingshu squinted her eyes and said that she had lived in the apocalypse for ten years, and she often saw people dying in front of her while she was eating, either from illness, cold, or being left behind during migration and trapped in the snow, etc., so she did not have the habit of saving everyone she saw like Hua Tuo.
Death is a very common thing.
But if saving Wang Dazhao can gain his loyalty, Jingshu is willing to give it a try. She really needs someone to do some things. If Wang Dazhao disappoints her, she will take back her life.
Before Wang Qiqi helped Wang Dazhao into the car, she took out a dozen newspapers and spread them on the back seat before the two of them got in. "I was afraid I'd dirty the car again, so I found some newspapers."
It’s worth mentioning that Wang Qiqi is a very detail-oriented person and knows how to get along with people. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten along so well with the people in the steel bar processing machinery factory. He did get some steel bars for Jingshu, but the quantity was not enough.
Moreover, seeing that the huge factory machines were idle, Jingshu proposed to directly make thick barbed steel plates, and discovered the steel mesh. After seeing it, Jingshu felt very safe!
In the end, Jingshu used a black pig to exchange for steel bars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars before the end of the world, and made barbed steel plates and a steel mesh across the villa yard.
Of course, the value of a pig is far more than that. Jingshu also asked for a real steel mace. Due to the limited craftsmanship, the stick and the mace head were made separately, and then combined into one through the buckles inside.
The wolf tooth head is an elliptical steel ball with 20 cm long steel barbs welded on it, which has great destructive power.
But the advantage is that if necessary, it can be separated into a real steel bar and a mace with an iron chain.
The entire mace weighs 52 kilograms, which is the same weight as Jingshu. It is a little difficult for Jingshu to lift it, but it would be just right if the mace head was removed.
But Jingshu's strength is still growing, and I believe it won't be long before she can fully control the mace. Jingshu's advantage is her strength, so the mace that can best bring out her advantages is a very good choice.
After running around for a few days, Jingshu finally brought all the finished products back home, and Jing's father and grandfather began to make the final modifications without delay.
Early in the morning of May 16, Wang Dazhao came to visit and said, "You saved me that day, and now I have taken my revenge. From now on, my life is yours."
