193 The Tenth Shop
◎Instructor Lu.◎
Lu Yao gave Ding Qing a short sword, and changed his weapons when he went out alone.
She was not used to the long swords that the sword practitioners in the Floating World Continent usually used. It was inconvenient to carry around, and it was hard to draw the sword, so she chose a short sword. The blade was only three-fifths the length of a normal sword, which was light to carry and easy to draw.
Qiu Yu gave Lu Yao a set of palm-length daggers, a total of seven, with red strings tied to the handles. If you throw them out, you can pull the strings back.
The red string on the handle is made of Qiu Yu's own blood. It is soft and hard, can't be cut, can't be burned, and can be freely extended.
The magic weapon that Qiuyu gave to Lu Yao was stained with dragon breath and magic energy, and its power was incomparable to that of ordinary swords.
Ordinary people would be at risk of backlash if they used it.
However, Lu Yao was Qiuyu's contract master, so he would not be backlashed at all.
After work last night, Lu Yao practiced in the mustard seed space for seven or eight hours, using his willpower to control it, and it was surprisingly handy.
Lu Yao came out of the mustard seed space and met a weapon refiner who was surfing the Internet. He bought a knife sheath from him, which was just enough to hold seven small knives. It was also suitable to be tied to the leg, so that it was convenient to draw at any time.
Lu Yao tied the knife sheath to his right leg, slung a small cloth bag, and carried a short sword on his back. Everything was ready, and he rode the electric bike out.
Xingmo Road is the direction of Zhaoye's property sweep today. The address for placing the order is in Mingtai Community on Xingmo Road, about seven kilometers away from the errand shop.
There are no cars on the street, and the system has planned the best route. It takes about ten minutes to ride an electric bike to get there.
The journey was relatively smooth. Occasionally, we encountered a small zombie tide, but the system reminded us and we avoided it in advance.
The neighborhoods near Xingmo Road are all semi-old communities with complete infrastructure, including small supermarkets, pharmacies, barber shops, fruit shops, and underground shopping malls connected to the subway station. However, they are now dilapidated and have become ruins.
Mingtai Community is an old community with an iron gate with several iron chains wrapped around it and a large padlock hanging on it.
Lu Yao could only climb over the wall to get in. There was no elevator in the community, and the highest floor only went up to the eighth floor.
There were more than a dozen unit buildings in Mingtai Community, and the tenant who had placed an order lived on the third floor of Unit 9.
The Yuanmeng system said that there were quite a few people living here, more than in the Ping'an Community they had been to before. Lu
Yao found Unit 9 and walked into the corridor.
There were three people sitting on the steps at the entrance of the stairs, a middle-aged man with a beard and two young men in their early twenties, all smoking cigarettes.
Seeing Lu Yao coming in, one of the young men whistled frivolously.
Another young man stood up and walked towards Lu Yao with a smile: "I have never seen a stranger before. The door is locked. How did you get in from?"
Lu Yao took a step back, feeling a little annoyed.
After the normal social order collapsed, there were people like this everywhere.
The whistling man saw the knife sheath tied to Lu Yao's leg, not only did he not take it seriously, but the smile in his eyes became more presumptuous: "You better be careful, he is carrying a weapon, don't get your hands cut." The middle-aged man pressed the cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it. There was still a small half left. He was reluctant to throw it away, so he clamped the half of the cigarette butt on his ear, stood up and walked over, impatiently said: "Don't talk nonsense, hand
over the food and things you use, and you can get out."
The whistling man stood up and said, "Brother Hui, don't be so stubborn. She's just a little girl. Even if something happens to her, no one will care." The
whistling man stepped over the middle-aged man and walked quickly to Lu Yao, reaching out to touch her face. "You should blame yourself. You came to this place for no reason."
When Lu Yao saw these people, she thought of Ding Qing. There are always some people who like to bully the weak and vent their selfish desires at any time.
Lu Yao was irritated. Thinking that he had to set up the signal receiver after delivering the goods, he raised his hand to grab the man's wrist and twisted it outward. The sound of the bone breaking was covered by the sudden scream.
The two people behind the whistling man took two steps back in fear. They didn't understand what happened. They were shocked, but they stood there without moving. Lu Yao
kicked the man in front of him away and walked towards the other two.
The whistling man flew out of the corridor and fell to the ground with a muffled sound. His face wrinkled into a ball. He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak and rolled on the ground.
After more than ten seconds, he slowed down a little. He propped up the ground with his right elbow and grabbed his chest with his left hand. His face was dark and he felt that his chest was blocked and he couldn't breathe.
The faces of the two accomplices changed at this time. They realized that they had encountered a tough guy.
They turned and ran upstairs. Lu Yao chased them, caught one with each hand, dragged the two downstairs, and beat them until they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy before stopping: "Next time I see you, I will just throw you to the zombies! Get out!"
After dealing with a few scoundrels, Lu Yao clapped his hands and went upstairs to deliver the goods.
She stood at the door of Room 301 for a long time, but no one answered the door.
The Dream-Fulfilling System told Lu Yao that there was someone inside.
Lu Yao introduced herself and waited for several minutes before the door was opened from the inside.
Standing in the door was a woman in her thirties. After confirming that Lu Yao was the only one outside the door, she did not open the door completely, but only handed out a gold bracelet from the gap.
She placed an order for ten errand business cards.
Lu Yao explained to her that he had just encountered thugs downstairs, which delayed him for a while.
The woman looked up in surprise: "Did those guys give you any trouble?"
The three men were employees of a nearby factory. Their factory originally rented a house in this community as a dormitory.
Because this community is an old house, there is not even an elevator, and the rent is relatively cheap.
Those guys were a bit ruffians when they were working before. They often went out to drink together. When they were drunk, they harassed the tenants passing by at the gate of the community.
The woman who bought the business card was called Su Ling. She also worked nearby and often met them when she went in and out of the community.
After the zombie virus broke out, the people in the factory ran away and the dormitory was empty.
But the three did not run away. They stayed in the empty dormitory all day and slept. They did not go out to collect supplies.
When they ran out of food, they wandered around the community, waiting for those who went out to collect supplies to come back and steal their things.
The two young men were particularly bored and often deliberately knocked on the doors of the residents around them.
They had lived here for two years and had some understanding of the single residents in the community.
When they are bored, they go to harass those who live alone. No matter whether the other party is a man or a woman, they will laugh and curse outside the door until they have made enough noise and leave.
Su Ling is most annoyed by those people.
She is a working person who lives alone. She was not so scared when the society was normal before. After completely losing her constraints, this community is not so safe. She has not dared to go out for a long time.
These days, Su Ling is worried about the low food supply. There are zombies outside and there are several thugs in the community. She is so worried that her hair is falling out, she can't sleep or eat enough, and she is almost going crazy.
Just when she was anxious and crazy, she accidentally found a flyer stuck on the door handle.
Normally, she would not easily believe such a suspicious-looking note, but she really had no choice. If she didn't want to go out to find food, she would really starve to death here.
Su Lingzi read the contents of the flyer carefully, and hesitated for several hours before making up her mind to place an order.
In fact, she regretted it after writing the address. Thinking about it, she found it ridiculous. How could the address written on the flyer be really accepted? It wasn't a mobile phone.
She felt relieved when she thought about it, and threw the flyer aside and lay on the bed in a daze.
However, less than half an hour later, someone really came to the door.
Lu Yao took out the gold-eating Pixiu and bit off the gold bracelet, while answering: "A beating will make him behave."
Su Ling was shocked: "Can you beat him alone?" Lu
Yao said with a joking tone: "If you don't have this ability, you can't be an errand boy."
Su Ling suddenly felt a strong sense of relief.
The errand boy was too reliable.
Lu Yao counted out ten business cards and handed them over.
Su Ling took it and looked at it carefully. After reading the instructions, he still felt incredible: "As long as you use this to place an order, the runner will come to your door?"
Lu Yao: "Yes."
Su Ling: "If I go out to find supplies, can I hire a runner as a bodyguard?"
Lu Yao: "Strictly speaking, this situation cannot be classified as running errands. However, if they just accompany you from one place to another and regard you as the target of the errand, the store will also accept the order."
Su Ling: "How many female runners do you have in your store?" Lu Yao
saw the uneasiness in Su Ling's eyes and smiled and said: "Don't worry, our runners, both men and women, are very professional. When you need them, just place an order boldly."
After saying goodbye to Su Ling, Lu Yao came down from the building.
Those little hooligans had disappeared.
The delivery was delayed for some time, and it was getting dark, so it was a bit difficult to set up the signal receivers.
Lu Yao had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't complete the plan she had made in advance.
She climbed over the wall of Mingtai Community, hesitated for a few seconds on the small electric car, and decided to run about ten kilometers to the outer perimeter, and then run five kilometers horizontally along the edge. Two signal receivers could be placed in one round trip.
If it was dark before she could get back in time, she could let the little black dragon pick her up, and there was no need to worry.
The journey to set up the signal receivers was relatively smooth, but as it got darker, there were more zombies on the road, and she had to change routes from time to time.
Lu Yao walked several streets from Xingmo Road, set up two receivers, and walked back on another street. When he passed the road in front of a hospital, he saw a dozen vans parked on the side of the road, and some of them had people sitting in them.
Lu Yao stopped his electric car: "There are so many cars."
Dream System: "All of them are supplies, and it looks like they were moved from the mall yesterday."
Lu Yao suddenly got out of the car and walked towards the grass ditch on the side of the road.
The Dream Fulfilling System was a little angry: "Did you hear what I said?"
Lu Yao squatted down and looked carefully at the small electric vehicle lying in the grass: "This seems to be the car in our store, why is it here?"
Dream Fulfilling System: "It's Zhao Ye."
Lu Yao jumped into the grass and helped the small electric vehicle up, muttering: "Why did Zhao Ye leave the car here."
The people who stayed in the van also found Lu Yao, and a man and a woman got out of the front car.
The boy was tall and thin, wearing black-framed glasses.
The girl was very beautiful, with a bun, wearing a gray and white loose shirt and a pair of black trousers.
The boy stood on the side of the road without saying a word.
The girl squatted down and asked Lu Yao: "What are you doing?"
Lu Yao parked the electric car on the side of the road, climbed onto the road, motioned the girl to stand further away, bent down and picked up the handlebars.
The girl was startled and took a few steps back, her beautiful features flying: "Oh my god, are you serious? Xia Huaisong, did you see it? Did you see it?!"
Xia Huaisong was the boy wearing glasses. He pushed the frame of his glasses, and his heart was as shocked and confused as the girl, but his face was calm and calm: "I have eyes."
Lu Yao parked the car and walked up to the two of them: "Hello, my name is Lu Yao. That's my colleague The car was parked here. Have you seen a boy with short chestnut hair and two black moles under his eyes nearby?
The girl was called Li Mi. She shook her head and said, "The car was here when we came, but the captain was in a hurry to stop the car and knocked it down."
Lu Yao bent down and looked at the small van parked on the side of the road for a few more times: "Are you from the Hope Base?"
Li Mi was surprised.
Is the base so famous?
"Do you know the Hope Base?"
Lu Yao: "I met someone from the Hope Base in another shopping mall yesterday. I heard you mention the captain, so I asked casually."
Xia Huaisong couldn't help but raise his head slightly and rolled his eyes. He was usually very smart, but he seemed to be stupid outside, without any vigilance.
After a brief chat, Lu Yao found that the two men did not have any valuable information, so he turned around and moved the two small electric vehicles to the other side of the road, away from a row of vans, and pasted gravity stickers and barrier stickers on the base before getting up and walking towards the large hospital on the side of the road.
The Dream Yuanmeng system just reported that it had scanned Zhaoye's Sparrow brother in the open space outside the hospital.
Li Mi and Xia Huaisong caught up and stopped Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Xia Huaisong said: "Our people just entered that hospital, and our mission here is to stop the people who want to enter the hospital from behind."
Lu Yao: "Is that hospital opened by you?"
Xia Huaisong also knew that their demands were very tough, but medicines are an extremely scarce resource now.
The two teams came here specially from Jinyao City. They had already loaded up with supplies in Wanxin City. On the way back, they encountered this hospital. After discussion, the team leader decided to abandon some of the supplies in the car and take some medicines and medical equipment back.
As a member of the base search team, they must also consider the base.
The better the base develops, the more secure their lives and safety will be.
Compared with other team members, the attitudes of the two are actually quite gentle.
Lu Yao explained: "I'm not interested in the medicines and supplies here. I just went in to look for someone, the colleague I just told you about."
Xia Huaisong didn't believe it.
Li Mi also smiled: "Times are tough, we all know that. Why don't you wait a little while until our people come out, and then you can go in and look for them."
Lu Yao felt irritable that day and didn't want to continue dawdling. He was preparing to subdue the two men by force when he suddenly received a call from Zhao Ye.
Zhao Ye: "Shopkeeper, where are you?"
Lu Yao: "I passed by Wan Yi Hospital and saw your little electric car. It was on the side of the road. Where are you?"
Zhao Ye took a long breath: "I'm in this hospital. It's not looking good here. Can you come pick me up?"
Lu Yao walked past Xia Huaisong and Li Mi and walked straight to the hospital gate: "Okay, tell me the exact location."
Zhao Ye did not report the location, but said a piece of information that had nothing to do with the situation at the moment: "I met someone here . When she came to a group of people, she saw a man who looked very much like the Demon Lord Ze Yuan. "
Lu Yao paused for a moment, then continued to walk forward: "What kind of man is he?"
Zhao Ye: "Short silver hair, red eyes, wearing clothes common in this world, he doesn't look very much like the Demon Lord, but he also wears the same earrings as the Demon Lord, exactly the same as the ruler of warning you gave us. Could he be the reincarnation of the Demon Lord?"
Dusk was falling, and the autumn wind was slightly biting. Lu
Yao stood on the deserted roadside, with a crescent moon hanging above her head, and the night was cool and starless.
She asked softly: "What's his name?"
Zhao Ye: "I heard the people with him call him Instructor Lu."
