200 The Tenth Store
◎Of course it was me.◎
Five minutes later, Harold did not receive any new errands.
The handwriting on the business card written by Zheng Han faded little by little, and finally disappeared.
Zheng Han did not understand what was going on, so he picked up the business card and handed it to Harold: "Big brother, how could this happen?"
This was the first time Harold encountered such a situation.
The system of the errand shop would not make such an error, so there was only one explanation, the errand ordered by Zheng Han was not accepted.
Not long after, Harold received a call from Zhang Shu.
"This errand is beyond the business scope of our store, and it is rejected."
Harold could not understand: "Why?"
Zhang Shu could not tell the specific reason.
This errand was canceled by Lu Yao himself.
Harold knew that there must be a reason for Lu Yao to make such a decision, but he couldn't figure it out. He looked down at the Zheng siblings who were about to cry but tried hard to hold back, and turned to contact Lu Yao.
Lu Yao and Lu Mingxiao were setting up the signal receiver in the Changsheng Road area. When they received the contact system, they helped her connect.
Lu Yao: "What's wrong?"
Harold told Lu Yao the situation of the Zheng siblings in detail.
Lu Yao put down what he was doing, straightened up slowly, and looked into the distance: "Even if this errand has such a complicated reason, the errands ordered by this customer have already exceeded our business scope.
"In view of the special circumstances of this world, the scope of the runner's work has been expanded as appropriate, from simply helping to transport goods to protecting and escorting the client. We can clean up zombies during work, but we cannot agree to the client to clean up specific zombies at will.
"Your strength can help the people in this world, but you cannot take requests that exceed the general scope of work. Do you understand what I mean?"
Harold knew that Lu Yao's decisions were never wrong, but he still had a little confusion in his heart.
Lu Yao sensed Harold's attitude from the silence on the opposite side. He lowered his head, found a relatively flat stone, and sat down casually.
"Let me put it more bluntly. This boundary is set to protect my errand runners. Today, someone just placed an order and asked the errand runner to clean up the zombies. The person being cleaned up is a relative of the customer. Can you guarantee that he won't hold a grudge against you in the future because of some circumstances?
" "To take a step back, you can ask the errand runner to clean up the zombies today, but will someone use this rule to ask the errand runner to kill people tomorrow?
"Of course I will never allow such an order, but rules are rules. Once the boundaries are blurred, there will be endless troubles. Being an errand runner is a job, not a tool.
Harold, I hope you can understand one small thing - your strength is just one of the countless characteristics that creatures in this world may have, not a panacea to save the world and solve problems."
Lu Yao rarely said such harsh words to Harold, but she was the one who brought the dragons and demons to the Kingdom of Gold, so she must be responsible for them.
And from the current situation, the gods of this world seem to have acquiesced to this situation. Lu Yao's judgment is that the clerks cannot continue to test the bottom line.
This is also the experience she has accumulated from opening so many stores.
Harold's little brain was not full of emotional thinking. He thought for a long time but still couldn't fully understand what Lu Yao meant. But Lu Yao's decision was always right.
He trusted her blindly.
After hanging up the call, Harold looked down at Zheng Han and said calmly, "Our boss said that this order is beyond the business scope of the errand boy and cannot be accepted."
Zheng Han lowered his head in disappointment.
Harold thought the guest might be out of control. Zheng Han raised his elbow and wiped his eyes twice. He stood there in a daze for a while, then suddenly squatted down, took out a gold bar from his rolled-up trousers, stood up and choked up to say to Harold: "I want to buy a few more business cards. I will place an order for errands again. Please take us to a safe place."
He wanted to live with his sister, and then come together to pick up his mother home.
------
At an intersection less than two kilometers away from Changsheng Road, a white van and a black sedan were parked side by side in the middle of the road.
With them as the center, there were zombies within a radius of five meters.
The zombies surrounded the two cars and slapped the car windows like ghosts demanding their lives.
The white van and the black car were originally driving in opposite directions, but the van suddenly lost its anchor, causing a slight scratch between the two cars.
The driver of the black car was a tall man. From the direction the van came from, it was known that they were coming from Jinyao City. The man lowered the window and spoke a few words to Xia Huaisong in the car.
The man and his group wanted to go to the Hope Base and asked Xia Huaisong for information.
In just a few words, countless zombies suddenly poured out from every corner of the street, and both the way in and the way out were severely blocked.
Xia Huaisong and Li Mi hurriedly packed their luggage last night, and drove out of the base's van under the pretext of going on a mission at night, rushing towards Gaosheng City, and ran all night before crossing the border.
Afterwards, the car's condition became bad, moving slowly and without power, probably because it ran out of gas.
They were in such a hurry to escape that they had no time to prepare spare fuel. They still lost anchor when they reached this intersection.
Xia Huaisong and Li Mi were sitting in the car and were worried. They also met people who kept asking them about the base.
The two did not want to reveal any information related to the Hope Base, fearing that the people at the base would know their whereabouts.
The people in the opposite car seemed to not understand what they were saying and kept asking questions. As a result, they were all trapped at this intersection.
Xia Huaisong leaned on the soft cushion of the driver's seat and patted the steering wheel anxiously: "What should we do? It seems that this is the only way."
Li Mi sat in the passenger seat, holding a crumpled flyer in her hand and studying it: "How about we place an order and give it a try?"
Xia Huaisong: "I remember the range written on the flyer is only ten kilometers. This place is at least twenty kilometers away from the High Island Hospital. It is definitely not within the range of errands."
Li Mi took out a pen from the storage box in front of her: "There is an introduction to the method of placing an order for delivery on the back, let's give it a try."
They didn't have the courage to get out of the car. Hiding in the car would sooner or later mean death. Anyway, they happened to have a flyer for the errand shop in their hands.
In addition to giving it a try, there was no other way for the time being.
Xia Huaisong was a little confused: "How do I place an order?"
Li Mi: "There is an order form on the back, just fill it out."
Xia Huaisong: "Just write it on the flyer? How is that possible?"
Last time, the seventh and tenth teams placed orders in person, and the runners were right next to them. At that time, Xia Huaisong and Li Mi were outside looking after supplies, and they were not so clear about the process of placing orders and running errands. At this time, they were also skeptical about the use of flyers to place orders. Li Mi
also thought this method was magical, but without hesitation, she picked up a pen and wrote her name and order quantity in the order column.
When she wrote the delivery address, her pen stopped.
The place where they dropped anchor was at an intersection. There was no obvious road sign nearby, and there was no way to get out of the car to check.
There was no choice, Xia Huaisong could only lower half of the window and ask the people in the car.
The man opposite had just asked Xia Huaisong about the situation in Jinyao City. Xia Huaisong's answer was perfunctory, and the man was not willing to talk at this time.
Xia Huaisong had no choice but to hand over a flyer: "We are going to place an order with this store. You have been living in Gaosheng City. Have you heard of it?"
Zhao Bowen carefully took the flyer from the half-open window and laughed after reading it: "What is this? You can place an order by writing on a flyer, and someone will deliver the goods to your door?"
Xia Huaisong was not surprised by Zhao Bowen's reaction. If he had not seen the errand runner with his own eyes, and heard his teammates repeatedly mention the encounter with the errand runner shop, he would not believe it.
After all, electronic communications are now completely paralyzed, and it is not normal online shopping.
If an errand shop can capture orders written on paper, it really needs this technology. The power behind it is something that people have to be on guard against.
Zhang Haizhu, who was sitting next to Zhao Bowen, heard the two people's discussion, reached out to take the flyer, read it quickly, and was very surprised: "I have seen this flyer before."
Zhao Bowen was surprised: "When?"
Zhang Haizhu: "Just two days ago, there was a resident on the first floor of the next unit, the man was paralyzed, his wife and children went out to find something, and didn't come back for two days. Later, it seems that they hired an errand runner from this store. The man was sent back that day, and many residents in that unit bought that card."
Coincidentally, Zhao Bowen and Zhang Haizhu originally lived in Jintaiyuyuan.
The family Zhang Haizhu mentioned was Xu Hongmei and Li Heping a few days ago.
Zhao Bowen frowned: "We didn't buy it?"
Zhang Haizhu: "When I was getting ready to go downstairs the next day, I saw a flyer on the door handle. I didn't take it seriously at the time. Later, I heard about it from Mei Xin's mother, but I couldn't find the flyer. And you said you were going to the Hope Base, so I thought it was unnecessary and ignored it."
Xia Huaisong's car window was open with a gap of two fingers' width. The two cars started to scratch each other and were relatively close, leaving a narrow gap in the middle where people could talk, and the zombies couldn't squeeze in.
Xia Huaisong was excited when she heard Zhang Haizhu's words: "Sister, can you tell me what this place is called? Whether the errand runner comes or not, this is a solution. Otherwise, when it's too late and the zombies are still around, we'll all die."
Zhang Haizhu was straightforward and turned around and said the name of the street.
Li Mi quickly wrote down the address on the flyer and then began to wait anxiously.
This place must be more than ten kilometers away from the errand shop. Even though she knew it might be hopeless, she couldn't help but have a little hope.
On Changsheng Road, Lu Yao and Lu Mingxiao had just finished setting up the nearby signal receivers and were about to go to the next target location when they received the dispatch information.
Two new delivery orders appeared at the intersection less than two kilometers away from them.
Lu Yao turned to look at him after receiving the message: "Both orders are in the same place, why don't you go and deliver the goods while I continue to set up the signal receiver?"
Lu Mingxiao had not officially started work yet, and Lu Yao happened to be in the place closest to the delivery address, so the system assigned him the delivery order.
Lu Yao felt that it was a waste of time for two people to deliver the goods, so it would be better to act separately.
The battery life of the modified small electric has been fully tested and has been improved by more than one level compared to the original one. It is light, fast, silent, and has a strong battery life.
Lu Mingxiao stared at her for a while,
then shook his head slowly: "I'm a newcomer, and there are still many things I'm not familiar with at work. I'd like to ask the store manager for more guidance." Lu Yao thought that two kilometers was not far and would not take too much time: "...Okay."
When riding to the delivery location, Lu Mingxiao rarely took the initiative to speak: "I'm not saying that just to stick to you, I really don't know how to get along with humans normally."
Lu Yao couldn't help but complain: "Nonsense, wasn't everything normal before?"
Lu Mingxiao: "Bai Ming, Carlos, Chi Jin, Tiger Whale, Xiao Jiu, An Yan, Ying Tong, Ze Yuan, they are all real people who once existed. Just act according to their past behavior patterns. But here, I am just me."
It seems to be the case. Lu Yao realized that the current Lu Mingxiao is exactly the same as the silver-haired young man in Bu Du's memory.
He did not borrow anyone else's identity in this world.
Lu Yao suddenly remembered something: "Except Bai Ming, the roles you played seem to have disappeared later."
Lu Mingxiao: "They were all dying, so I chose them."
Lu Yao thought of Lu Mingxiao's special physique and couldn't help sighing: "Then why is your real name and true body here?"
Lu Mingxiao looked at her helplessly and tried to calm her tone: "You came too late. The original body of the identity I just borrowed died too long ago, and the identity was recycled."
Among all the identities that Lu Mingxiao had borrowed, only Bai Ming knew nothing at the time because he was a dead spirit.
The original owners of the other identities knew their fate when they were found by the God Killer.
They voluntarily lent their identities and made a taboo contract with the powerful God Killer. Lu Yao
's eyes widened: "...I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this."
The Dream-Fulfilling System's scalp tightened.
The owner came to this world several months late, and it seemed that it was because of it.
Lu Mingxiao: "There is no need to apologize between us."
Lu Yao turned his head and looked up at the sky.
Is Lu Mingxiao's true personality like this?
Not arrogant, and not stubborn anymore.
What's going on?
Lu Yao: "How long have you been waiting here?"
Lu Mingxiao: "About sixty years.
" Lu Yao lowered his eyes: "...I'm really sorry."
The Dream Fulfilling System couldn't help but slide down and apologize.
Lu Yao suddenly remembered what happened in the Floating World Continent. Things that he couldn't help but care about kept popping up one by one like mushrooms after rain: "Zeyuan at that time..."
Lu Mingxiao looked up at the sky: "The situation in that world was more complicated. That guy set it up and took away some of my memories. He thought that mortals valued love and were prone to hate and resentment because of love, so he set up such a situation. He doesn't understand people at all, nor does he understand us."
... This guy suddenly became so good at talking. Does Pi Pi and Guo Ben really have such a big impact?
Lu Yao: "Who is that guy?"
Lu Mingxiao: "He is not important."
This sentence means "I don't want to say" or "I can't say."
Lu Yao did not ask further questions and changed the subject: "I have another question."
Lu Mingxiao: "Hmm?"
Lu Yao: "If you borrow an identity and also borrow someone else's personality and way of dealing with people, then who did I like at the time, Ze Yuan or you?"
Lu Mingxiao's face darkened for no reason.
Of course it was me.
The person she met in every world was him, and only him.
The real Ze Yuan was born not long ago, and fought with monsters in the Weak Water Abyss, and was seriously injured and about to die.
It was similar to the magic treasure in the Tuanzi period at that time, and it was not even as strong as the magic treasure. If it died, it would be swallowed by other monsters.
But monsters are different from other creatures. Their bodies are damaged, but their consciousness is indestructible.
Tuanzi Ze Yuan didn't want to squeeze into the "one room and one hall" in the body of another demon, and happened to meet the sudden arrival of the God Slayer.
After some bargaining, Tuanzi Zeyuan agreed to lend his identity.
God Slayer fulfilled Tuanzi Zeyuan's wish and turned him into the most powerful monster.
Tuanzi Zeyuan and Lu Mingxiao lived together for more than a hundred years.
After Tuanzi Zeyuan's death, God Slayer Lu Mingxiao took his identity according to the original contract, broke into the Tianyuan Demon Palace alone, and became the strongest demon king in tens of thousands of years.
But Lu Yao showed up more than a thousand years later, and when waiting for her, something went wrong on Lu Mingxiao's side.
Losing his memory was his biggest mistake, which almost ruined all his preparations.
Thinking of the past, Lu Mingxiao's pupils were stained with a little ink, and his eyes were deep and murderous.
Just wait a little longer, and the wish will come true...
Two kilometers is not far, and riding a car saves time. While
the two were chatting, they saw from a distance that the intersection ahead was densely packed with zombies, and tacitly stopped talking about the topic just now.
Xia Huaisong and Li Mi, who were anxiously waiting in the car, were almost desperate. Suddenly, they saw two small electric cars driving in the distance, and they were so excited that they almost jumped up.
Li Mi frantically pulled Xia Huaisong's sleeve: "Instructor, instructor, the instructor is here!!!"
[Author's words]
Useless little supplement: 1. Why is Xiao A's skin fine in the Floating World Continent, but expires in only sixty years in the Golden Kingdom?
Because there is a huge difference in the lifespan of monsters and ordinary humans.
2. Since monsters are immortal, why did Tuanzi Zeyuan die?
He is a bit like Xiao Heilong, and his fate is hard to change. In order to become the strongest, he not only made a contract with the God Slayer, but also asked him to pay for his life.
But when he died, he was satisfied and had no regrets.
