199 The Tenth Store

◎We're going to take her home.◎

Su Ling calmed down and saw Si Jin still reflecting on himself, so she couldn't help but say, "It's good that you think this way, but it's best to summarize and reflect on these things after work. In a normal working environment, if you think too much about personal issues during work, it will slow down your efficiency."

Si Jin turned his head and looked over. For the first time, he was "lectured" by an ordinary human other than the store owner.

Because of his lack of work experience, he didn't have the confidence to reason with her, and even thought that she might be right.

Si Jin and Harold have been working as security guards in the nail salon for more than a year. Except for the early days of the store, there were not so many monster employees in Lu Yao's store, and the two of them could show off their power from time to time.

In the past six months, there have been no customers who have caused trouble.

Even if there are one or two people who are clever, other employees can handle it without them having to step in.

Harold usually goes to school with Tina and receives the dragon clan's century-long compulsory education. During holidays, he follows Luyao to run around the shopping streets, and even has less time to fight with Sijin.

Sijin spends most of his time the same as before, looking for rare treasures, hunting rare monsters, collecting sparkles, magic materials and food.

During breaks, he hides in the store to read comics. Later, when he got a mobile phone, he often surfed the Internet. He has never been in close contact with humans other than Luyao like now.

Sijin feels that he should also update his understanding of humans.

Accompanied by Si Jin, Su Ling continued to search the first floor for nearly half an hour and found a 250 ml bottle of peanut oil as a gift. She also found loose rice and mung beans in the retail area, but the quantity was very small.

Su Ling found a clean plastic bag and packed two bags, keeping half for herself and giving the rest to the two children rescued by Si Jin.

The 15-year-old boy was named Zheng Han and his sister was named Zheng Xinxin, who was only six years old.

The two originally lived with their mother, and their father worked in another city.

After the zombie virus broke out, their father called home once and then disappeared.

Their mother and neighbors agreed to go out together to look for supplies, and it was going well. The mother and her

two children ate and drank sparingly, only eating one meal a day, and they could barely get by for a while.

A few days ago, my mother went out again. A man in the same team was bitten, but he and his wife kept it a secret and did not tell his companions.

Not long after returning to the community, the man turned into a zombie.

He first bit his wife to death, and then ran to bite the people who were traveling with him.

Zheng Han's mother was also bitten, and basically everyone in the community who was able to go out did not escape.

Before their mother completely turned into a zombie, she stumbled back home with her last breath, packed some luggage for the brother and sister, and told them to run away and not to trust anyone.

The two children were not very old. The older brother was just in high school. He took his six-year-old sister and wandered on the streets full of zombies.

The luggage that their mother packed for them was lost in several panic escapes within a few days.

The brother and sister had nowhere else to go. They entered this supermarket two days ago and were trapped and unable to escape.

Zheng Han took the food Su Ling handed over, thanked her hoarsely, and began to search around with his sister.

They came earlier and hid here for two days, so they were more familiar with the place than Su Ling.

The sister was smaller and could get into corners.

The three of them worked together to find a ten-pound bag of rice, two small bags of baby noodles, all unopened, four or five bags of seasoning for stewing soup, three cans of luncheon meat, two cans of tuna, seven or eight bags of small pickled vegetables to go with rice, and three bottles of mineral water pressed under the shelf.

Su Ling divided the supplies that the three of them found later by person, sealed them with two large shopping cartons, and wrapped them with two layers of thick cardboard boxes, and then tied them up with plastic and tape. Su Ling had

one box for herself, and Zheng Han and Zheng Xinxin had one box each.

She turned to talk to Si Jin: "I want to place another errand. Can you please take me back?"

Si Jin nodded.

As long as the customer places an order, the system will immediately calculate the best person to take the order.

According to the current situation, if Su Ling places an order again, the system will still assign the order to him.

Su Ling looked at the two children who were close to Si Jin: "What about them?"

Si Jin also had a headache.

These two children seemed to be dependent on him.

Si Jin couldn't help but think of the "teachings" of senior Harold again. If you casually lend a helping hand to vulnerable people, you will easily be stuck. Before each action, you must think clearly whether you have the courage and patience to be responsible for them to the end.

Before Si Jin could come up with a good idea, Zheng Han took the initiative to ask: "What is the errand order you just mentioned?"

Si Jin took out a flyer from the cloth bag and handed it over: "This is a flyer for our store. You can place an order through the order column on the back, and you can buy the store's order business card. The business card is an ordering prop. If you pay gold as a reward, a runner will take the order and come to you. "Running errands."

Zheng Han held up the flyer and read it carefully, then looked up at Si Jin: "Then my sister and I can also place an order."

Su Ling slightly widened her eyes: "Do you have gold on you?"

Zheng Han nodded, pulled out a black rope necklace from his clothes, with a few gold beads woven at the end of the black rope, and the pendant was a piece of gold made of Wu Shi Pai, which was thick and solid and looked very heavy.

Zheng Xinxin also pulled out a red rope necklace from the collar of her clothes, and the necklace pendant was a pure gold Ruyi lock.

What Zheng Han did not reveal was that there were several 20-gram gold bars and several gold chains in the luggage that his mother packed for them, which he hid in his trousers.

His mother's condition was already very bad at that time. She probably couldn't tell which things were important. She just packed a big bag with the things and food she thought were good and stuffed them all into him.

The big things were lost on the way, and only these useless gold were left.

Zheng Han originally thought it was a burden to carry, so he secretly threw away the gold bars when he was about to go out, leaving only a few gold ornaments as a souvenir.

Si Jin breathed a sigh of relief and took out a stack of business cards from the cloth bag: "No need to place an order with a flyer, I have business cards. Fill in the address and destination, and a free runner will come to pick you up soon."

Zheng Xinxin looked at Si Jin pitifully: "Didn't your brother send us off?"

Si Jin: "It depends on the system's dispatch. Originally, I was in charge of this area today. But if I can't make it and there happens to be a free runner nearby, someone else will come to pick you up. But don't worry, our employees are very strong and will definitely take you to your destination safely."

Upon hearing this, Su Ling immediately took out a business card and pen from her backpack, propped up her knees and filled out an order card.

Si Jin immediately received the latest dispatch from the system and turned his head to look at Su Ling.

Su Ling lowered her head without looking at him and handed the pen to Zheng Han.

She believed that Si Jin's companions were very strong, but she still couldn't help but feel a little selfish and didn't want to change the runner temporarily.

Zheng Han used the gold beads on the necklace to buy three order cards and wrote one as soon as he got it.

When the four people came out of the supermarket with two boxes of supplies, the runner who took the order just arrived at the door.

Harold stopped the electric car, looked up and saw Si Jin coming out with three ordinary humans, and he keenly noticed that something was wrong.

Si Jin was obviously here, why did the system send an order for him to come over?

Harold narrowed his eyes slightly: "What's going on?"

Si Jin felt a little guilty, turned his head away and pretended to be dead, pointed at Zheng Han and his sister: "We met them downstairs, and they placed an order after learning about the business in the store."

Harold's eyes swept across the faces of several people, and suddenly crossed his arms and examined Si Jin: "You didn't abandon the customers on the way to work and ran to save people?"

Si Jin was not afraid of Harold, but this guy often followed Lu Yao and was indeed a little better than him at work.

Now that everyone works together, they still have a bit of a comparison mentality in private.

As long as Si Jin thought of Harold using his mistakes as an example to publicize them among his colleagues, his toes would tighten and his scalp would tingle.

It was too embarrassing.

Si Jin said sternly: "Don't discuss personal issues during work hours. It will affect work efficiency. If you have anything to say, let's talk after work."

Harold: "???"

Su Ling and the Zheng siblings stood in the back, looking at Harold curiously.

The new errand boy had the same personality as Si Jin, with black hair and blue eyes, a few strands of silver highlights in his hair, and a high ponytail that made the boy look very heroic.

He looked obviously younger than Si Jin, but his figure was also tall and straight, like a green bamboo in the forest.

Su Ling blinked, remembering that the girl who delivered the goods to the door yesterday said that the errand boys in the store were very professional and reliable. She couldn't make a conclusion yet on whether they were reliable or not, but one or two of them looked too good.

In this chaotic world, most ordinary people are as inconspicuous as the gray sparrows on the roadside. These errand runners are just like male idols who walked out of a talent show. They even have their own styles. Don't be too foul.

Si Jin didn't expect that a few words he said casually would make Harold speechless. He immediately took the opportunity to call Su Ling to follow him and leave this place of trouble.

Harold frowned, always feeling that Si Jin was a little strange.

Zheng Han and Zheng Xinxin stood aside and did not take the initiative to approach.

Harold could only put his worries aside and concentrate on his work.

He got out of the car and introduced himself to the Zheng brothers and sisters, confirmed their destination, and then took out the gold-eating Pixiu to collect the payment, preparing to send the two to Jingui Community.

Jingui Community was where the brother and sister originally lived. They suffered a lot during the few days of wandering outside.

Many times along the way, Zheng Han wanted to take his sister home, even if his mother had turned into a zombie.

But zombies existed in every corner of the city, and Zheng Han despaired to find that even the way back was difficult.

He originally thought that he and his sister would definitely die in the supermarket, but he met a powerful errand runner.

After accidentally learning about the business of the errand shop, Zheng Han's first thought was to go home, so he wrote the address of Jingui Community on the business card for placing an order.

Zheng Han didn't expect that he and his sister would arrive home in less than 20 minutes in the errand runner's small electric car.

Harold stopped at the gate of Jingui Community. The black gate of the community was tied with many iron chains, and the gate was full of ragged zombies.

At first, they just leisurely stretched their hands out from the gaps in the iron fence, making babbling sounds.

Then, as if they discovered Harold and his friends, the zombies began to push and shove towards the door, screaming at the top of their lungs.

Harold turned his head to look at Zheng Han and Zheng Xinxin: "Are you sure you want to enter this community?"

Zheng Han got off the car first, and then got off with Zheng Xinxin in his arms.

Zheng Xinxin looked up at Harold and said, "This is our home. Mom must be waiting for us at home."

Harold was silent for a few seconds and whispered, "But there are no living people here anymore."

The smell of zombies and living people is completely different. This neighborhood on the roadside is like a dead sea.

I don't know who tied the chain on the door. It's full of zombies.

Zheng Han's pupils suddenly contracted. He lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then raised his head with determination: "I'm going to run another errand. Can you go in with us?"

Harold leaned against the car without moving: "What are we going to do?"

Zheng Han: "When we left, my mother had been bitten. I don't know if she went home after sending us out. I... I think... let's go and take a look, just one look."

Humans are weak and strange creatures. Sometimes they already know the outcome, but still want to seek clarification.

If it were the little black dragon from before, he would not even look at such a human.

But he met a person.

That fragile and ordinary human gave him a lot of things, the most unique attention, care, concern, tenderness in the world... and a place where he can always turn around and go back.

That place is what humans often call "home."

These two children have no home to return to.

Harold lowered his eyes, as if he was very impatient: "Place an order quickly, otherwise the system will send me a new order."

Zheng Han hurriedly took out a business card from his pocket, but he didn't have a pen, so he used Su Ling's pen in the supermarket.

Harold took out a pen from his cloth bag: "Hurry up!"

Zheng Han took the pen, raised his eyes and smiled at him gratefully.

Although he was smiling, tears were condensed in his eyes, as if he would cry in the next second.

Harold turned his face away uncomfortably.

Zheng Han quickly wrote a business card, took out the last one from his pocket, and wrote his name and pickup address on the order form on the back.

Harold was puzzled: "Why write so much?"

Zheng Han: "Just to prepare, so that I can place an order faster next time."

Humans have strange brain circuits, and Harold often sees this situation in Lu Yao.

After completing the payment procedures, the system quickly assigned the latest order to Harold, who was closest to the customer who placed the order.

Harold parked the electric car, held Zheng Xinxin in one hand, picked up Zheng Han with the other, and jumped directly over the wall.

Before he walked to the downstairs of the unit where the brother and sister originally lived, Zheng Han had already seen his mother.

She was wearing the clothes she wore when she sent them out. Her arms were covered with bloody holes. Large chunks of flesh had been bitten off by someone. The wounds had rotted, swollen, and festering, like bloated patches stuck to her slender arms.

Her skin had lost its luster, was gray and blue, and her eyes were cloudy and lifeless.

Her mother, who had always been capable, was moving in small steps like an old lady, wandering aimlessly around the neighborhood building.

Zheng Xinxin also recognized the woman and shouted, "Mom, Mom, Mom!"

There was no response.

Zheng Xinxin was anxious. She jumped up and made a trumpet shape with her hands. She shouted to the zombies not far away: "Mom, Mom, Mom!"

The zombies stopped and turned slowly. Their bloodshot eyes were wide open. Their mouths kept opening and closing, making rough and unpleasant sounds. They slowly moved towards the three people.

Zheng Xinxin saw her mother's face suddenly become ferocious. She hugged Zheng Han's thighs helplessly, covered her cheeks on her brother's legs, and sobbed sadly. The child

was not ignorant. She actually knew that her mother was in trouble.

She just didn't want to believe it and didn't know how to accept this fact.

Zheng Han bent down and hugged his sister tightly, then asked Harold for a pen again and wrote down the new errand task on the last business card.

[Ask the errand runner to kill the mother who turned into a zombie.]

We will take her home.

Useless gossip: No way, no way, even errand runners have fans these days? ? ?
