I wonder if it was out of guilt.
The members of the mutual aid society also collected the two young female corpses and took them away.
Apart from the bloodstains all around, there was no one else around.
Liu Kai stuffed the cat and dog back into the snowmobile and looked at the two tiger carcasses.
I originally intended to skin the tiger for decoration.
After what he just witnessed, he decided to keep the two little ones away from the virus.
Tiger skins are no longer suitable for displaying at home, but a corpse is not entirely useless.
It might even attract other frenzied beasts.
If captured alive, each kilogram could fetch the astronomical price of 30 grams of gold.
Thinking of this, Liu Kai activated the electromagnetic wave shielding device at his waist.
With a wave of his hand, he stored the two tiger carcasses into his storage space.
...
The authorities did not try to block the news, nor could they.
News of the tiger attack spread rapidly throughout Fenghai City in the past two days.
Many survivors expressed panic, but not extreme panic.
After all, no one knew about the virus and thought it was just an isolated incident.
Moreover, even if other ferocious beasts were to attack...
Those who suffered were the survivors living on the lower floors. What does it have to do with me, a person living on the upper floors?
Besides the widespread news of the tiger attack,
Liu Kai's reputation as a "wandering merchant" has reappeared in everyone's sight in a magical way.
For example, a heated argument is currently taking place in the WeChat group of a residential community in the south of the city.
"Have you all heard? The Wandering Merchant has been removed from the official list."
"What happened? Tell me in detail."
"He was recruited by the authorities and distributed supplies to everyone for free, but after only a few days, the authorities handed over the task of distributing supplies to someone else."
"I've heard about it too. Apparently, it was handed over to an organization called the Mutual Aid Association in the north of the city."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's obvious, friends, that this person must have embezzled resources for personal gain, which is why he was removed from the official list!"
"We can't make things up without evidence."
"How can there be no evidence? He caused a stampede when he was delivering supplies, which killed more than 20 people. That's irrefutable evidence."
"The mutual aid society is much better. Not only do they give out supplies, but they also teach everyone survival skills for free."
"Agreed! Compared to the Mutual Aid Association, the Wandering Merchant is a swindler! Even after being expelled, he still doesn't behave himself and comes out to sell things every day. It's laughable."
"Don't laugh yet. They're selling cigarettes, alcohol, and medicine. Don't you want to buy some? Or maybe you can't afford it?"
"Hmph, it's just some dubious stuff. Even if I die of illness outside, I will never buy his medicine."
"Hehe, do you think I believe it or not?"
"Hey! Forget about the wandering merchant. My friend who lives by the sea said the drilling platform seems to have resumed operations?"
“It has indeed recovered. I have photos; the flames never stopped all day long.”
"Great! Does this mean the cold winter is almost over?"
"You're dreaming."
Liu Kai had heard about these comments, as they were also being discussed in the Lishiquyuan residential community's owner group.
Out of consideration for privacy, the authorities did not disclose his work on clearing the oil well.
Unexpected.
The "reward" of no longer having to deliver goods was seen by ordinary survivors as a "punishment" of being removed from the list.
He felt both annoyed and amused.
Trolls don't care about the truth, they only care about what they consider to be "facts".
Of course, these rumors had no effect on him whatsoever.
It's time to sell.
Moreover, he is very principled.
I will only go to a residential area once, and I will never go there a second time.
so.
No matter what some people say in the group, "I will never buy it."
When they actually saw the "Wandering Merchant" banner, they still ran downstairs excitedly.
I just wanted to buy some medicine for future use.
They dared not show the slightest hint of disdain on their faces.
After all, a dog's life is more important.
Looking at these people's two-faced behavior, Liu Kai found it quite amusing.
He just didn't expect that he was about to hear something even more "interesting".
In the morning, Liu Kai arrived in the north of the city.
They chose a relatively affluent neighborhood for the transaction.
The process went relatively smoothly so far, with the survivors continuing to line up and buy the items one by one.
Until the last person in the group.
He was a man who looked very thin.
Despite being only in his early thirties, he was incredibly thin, almost skin and bones, with sunken eyes.
He looked malnourished and seemed like he could be blown away by the wind at any moment; he couldn't help but tremble with every step he took.
I readily bought a pack of cigarettes.
I couldn't wait to brave the cold wind, so I unpacked it and lit one.
Take a deep breath.
He was trembling all over, his face full of enjoyment.
Seeing his neighbors disperse, Liu Kai also packed his things to leave.
He then stubbed out his cigarette and crept closer, calling out softly.
"Sir? Mr. Wandering Merchant?"
"Are you going to buy something else?"
"Hey, um... do you have... rock sugar here?"
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Liu Kai's eyes.
He immediately stopped what he was doing, looked up and carefully examined the person.
Actually, judging from the man's build, Liu Kai guessed that he was probably a drug addict.
Rock candy? Haha!
Liu Kai also felt quite innocent: "Am I a legitimate businessman like a drug dealer?"
With a dark expression, he hissed, "No, get out of the way!"
Surprisingly, the man showed no fear whatsoever when he was yelled at.
He continued with a fawning smile, "Sir, please don't be angry. I know the rules! Although I'm not good at 'hard labor' and can't get my hands on 'human goods,' I can buy them with gold."
