227 The Tenth Store
◎Abnormal.◎
Wu Xian's eyes widened, unable to hide his surprise.
Even a child like this could clean up the zombies and not be approached by the powerful and unconscious corpses. No wonder the residents living near Guanyin Road trust the runners so much.
What surprised Wu Xian the most was not Mobao's skills, but his attitude. He
had no fear of zombies and had no psychological burden when he killed zombies.
From an adult's perspective, it was scary to see such a child.
Zhao Ye noticed Wu Xian's expression, crossed his arms over his chest, and said indifferently: "Don't look at us like that. We came here based on our own strength and with the owner's approval. Besides, the owner cares about our safety more than anyone else."
Wu Xian raised his hand and pointed forward: "Your strength doesn't seem to be that good." Zhao
Ye looked up and saw that the zombie whose head had just been chopped off by Mobao with a soft whip fell down but did not lose the ability to move. He used his hands and feet to pick up the head on the ground, put it back on his neck, stood up, turned around and surrounded Mobao.
Zhao Ye's expression changed slightly: "How could this happen?"
Wu Xian snorted coldly: "It sounds good, but the strength of the errand shop is only this level."
Da Liu took a step forward, frowned and observed the zombies that had crawled up again on the street, his face solemn: "It's not the errand runners' problem, but the zombies. So far, have you seen a zombie that can find its own head after being chopped off?"
Tang Anqi shook her head: "Even if it is a mutant zombie, There is no such situation. The zombies in this area are not right. "
Li Xinrong scratched his hair: "Why are they in the water company?"
Gao Qijun listened to the words of several people and felt that this matter was going to fail. He couldn't help but feel unwilling: "Are you just going to give up like this?"
Song Xu: "The infectiousness of ordinary zombie viruses is already terrible enough. This form of zombies can be called a real undead army. Even if there are runners to help, we can't kill them and we can't enter the water company."
The runners are strong, but they are fragile.
Even if they are just scratched lightly, there is no luck.
Half a minute later, Mobao retreated from the zombie tide.
Wu Xian thought that the kid must be in danger, but seeing him escape the zombie tide unscathed, he was even more shocked than before.
Mobao jumped off the skateboard and kept shaking off the rotten meat and blood on his clothes, but it had little effect. He couldn't use his spiritual power in front of the customers, so he complained with a stinky face: "These guys are too disgusting."
Zhao Ye went up to him and said: "It seems that Lord Mozun can't crack it either. What should we do next? Refund the customer's fee or report to the owner?"
Both ways of handling would show their incompetence. Mobao is small, but his reputation is extremely important.
Zombies are not dangerous to errand runners, but the zombies nearby seem to have the ability to be immortal. After being chopped off, they will continue to climb up.
They didn't know the reason for this situation, but if the zombies were not completely cleared, and the customers were injured during the task, it would be an irreparable loss for the store.
If the cleaning task could not be completed, the customers would not be able to enter the water company, and the errand task would not be able to continue.
Zhao Ye waited for a while, and seeing that Mo Bao didn't say anything, he decisively contacted the store.
Mo Bao was unable to stop him and was about to lose his temper when Lu Yao's voice came from the communicator.
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Ye faced Mo Bao's angry glare and whispered to explain the abnormal situation near the water company.
After a while, he hung up the call and said to the inquiring guests around him: "The owner said she will come over to deal with it soon, please wait a moment."
Gao Qijun was a little surprised: "The mission still needs to continue? Can your owner solve the problem of those zombies?"
Wu Xian couldn't help but interrupt: "She is just trying to save face."
Zhao Ye stamped his feet: "The owner must have a way!"
Wu Xian: "I think she is worse than you. Don't count on her, lest you fail again later. . Last night, under the streetlight, she was just ordering the man to do things. She has no ability at all. "
Zhao Ye was angry and turned to look at Mo Bao: "Your Majesty, you are not angry?"
Mo Bao crossed his arms and walked aside: "Mother once said that one of the secrets of happiness is not to argue with idiots (1). Arguing with him is a waste of time."
Wu Xian could not quite understand the specific meaning of "idiot", and also realized from the context that this word was not a good word.
He wanted to say something, but Tang Anqi said in a sinister tone: "A twenty-something adult can be more serious than a few-year-old child? No way, no way?"
Wu Xian: "..."
In just a few minutes, the two small electric vehicles arrived near the water company on Hua'an Road one after the other.
Lu Yao and Lu Mingxiao parked the car in an empty area on the side of the road and went straight to meet Mobao and Zhao Ye.
As soon as Lu Yao approached and hadn't greeted the guests, Zhao Ye's sparrow brothers all swarmed over and chirped to complain.
Lu Yao listened attentively for a while, touched his head one by one, and used the supernatural power he had obtained in the mission to listen to the heartbeat of the little sparrow monster, and quickly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.
Gao Qijun, Da Liu and Tang Anqi surrounded Lu Yao.
Lu Yao: "I'm very sorry, the difficulty of this mission exceeds the preliminary assessment."
Gao Qijun was more concerned about another thing, and couldn't help asking: "Was the errand boy really trying to contact you just now?"
Lu Yao nodded.
Gao Qijun: "The city's infrastructure has been completely paralyzed, why can you still use electronic equipment to communicate remotely? Who are you?"
Da Liu pulled Gao Qijun hard and winked at him crazily.
Don't take some things so seriously, just turn a blind eye.
Lu Yao: "Commercial secrets."
Wu Xian said "tsk".
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him, and Lu Yao didn't even look at him.
She walked around the crowd and leaned on the street corner to observe the surrounding situation. Less than two minutes later, she turned back and said, "There are so many of you. Do you all want to go in?"
Gao Qijun pointed at Li Xinrong first. His face suddenly looked a little embarrassed. After a pause, he raised his hand and pointed at Wu Xian. "Old Li used to be an employee here and is more familiar with the situation in the company. Little Wu used to be a repairman and is more familiar with the water supply infrastructure. I think we should take at least two of them in."
Lu Yao had an impression of both Li Xinrong and Wu Xian, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He said concisely: "At present, we can provide two options. One is to wait until we completely clear the zombies around the water company, and then a few of us can go in by ourselves. I just observed that there should be mutant zombies around here, and they are different from those we have encountered before, so it may take some time. The second option is to streamline the staff, let our errand runners be responsible for the guard, and bring useful people directly into the water company."
Gao Qijun couldn't make up his mind.
The first option is safe, and the second option is efficient.
Both methods have their merits, and the disadvantages are also obvious.
Gao Qijun looked at the expressions of Li Xinrong and Wu Xian and tried to suggest: "We are not in a hurry anyway, how about the first plan?"
Li Xinrong: "Shopkeeper, how long will it take to clean up completely?" Lu Yao
crawled to the corner of the street again, pulled out a small knife from the knife sheath and threw it out, chasing the zombie that was closest to her.
The red line made of prison jade has the characteristics of free extension and contraction. It is tied to the handle of the dagger, and the blade is sharp. The dagger flew out and easily cut off the zombie's head, and then flew back to Lu Yao's hand.
The head did not fall to the ground, and was caught by the zombie halfway and put back on the neck skillfully.
Lu Yao exclaimed: "This is the real undead, it's really disgusting!"
The Dream Yuanming System suddenly stammered: "Lu Yao, why don't we give up this mission."
Lu Yao was alert: "Why? Although the situation of these zombies is a bit strange, it's not time to give up."
The Dream Yuanming System was inexplicably anxious: "Oh, don't worry about it."
Lu Yao wanted to argue with the Dream Yuanming System, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone. Lu
Yao turned around, a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Lu Mingxiao looked at her silently for a few seconds, and said with a bit of sternness: "How about giving up this mission?" Lu
Yao felt even more strange: "Why do you say that?"
Lu Mingxiao didn't catch her words, and pulled her away from the crowd and walked to a spacious place: "You should have noticed that the zombies in this world are evolving. And recently, they seem to be evolving faster than before."
Lu Yao blinked.
She did notice something unusual.
"Does it have something to do with the gods?"
Lu Mingxiao did not deny: "This matter has nothing to do with us. Even if you give up this mission, it will not affect you and the store." Lu
Yao had a terrible guess in his heart: "But why? God... is unwilling to care for his people?"
Lu Mingxiao opened his mouth, suddenly frowned, raised his hand to press his neck, and a look of pain appeared on his calm face. Lu Yao
panicked and reached out to support him: "What's wrong?"
Lu Mingxiao leaned on her: "I have stayed in this world for too long, and my time is almost up."
Lu Yao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated: "What time?"
Except for one thing, Lu Mingxiao didn't want to lie to Lu Yao anymore. If he didn't want to tell her something, he could only remain silent.
Lu Yao suddenly reached out her hand, along his arm, wrist to his fingertips, and then to his collar.
She remembered an insignificant little thing - Lu Mingxiao seemed to particularly like wearing high-necked clothes recently, even though the weather was not cold.
Originally, temperature changes did not mean anything to him.
Under the gray-blue striped shirt was a black half-high-collar tights, which was invisible to the naked eye, but one could feel the metal collar protruding faintly under the fabric. The corners of
Lu Mingxiao's eyes were red, and his body was stiff, as if he had suddenly been cast into a spell and could not move.
Lu Yao began to recall that it seemed that when they said goodbye in Sanhua City, he had this thing on his neck.
At that time, it was a very large and wide black collar, which matched his black robe quite well.
She thought it was a fashion trend or his personal preference, so she didn't ask much... It seemed like the misunderstanding was a bit big.
Lu Yao was about to continue asking questions when he heard a very deliberate cough behind him.
Gao Qijun cleared his throat vigorously and asked in a very serious tone: "Shopkeeper, we have discussed it. We have decided to adopt plan two. Please protect Lao Li and Xiao Wu. There can't be any mistakes."
Lu Mingxiao suddenly stood up straight, pushed Lu Yao away, his eyebrows were cold, and the weakness just now seemed to be just a fleeting illusion.
Almost all the kids in the family have this kind of personality. Lu Yao is used to it. He moved closer and continued to observe his expression: "Are you okay?"
Lu Mingxiao nodded silently.
Gao Qijun behind him started coughing hard again, and this time he even felt like he was going to cough up his lungs. Lu
Yao waved his hand behind his back and communicated with the Dream System about Lu Mingxiao's condition. After making sure that everything was fine for the time being, he turned around and communicated with Gao Qijun.
The few of them discussed carefully for a few minutes, and Lu Yao decided to take Mobao and Zhaoye in, leaving Lu Mingxiao outside. At the same time, he contacted Harold and Tina, who were closer to the place, and asked them to finish the orders on hand and gather at the water company.
Mobao and Zhaoye were responsible for protecting Li Xinrong, and Lu Yao was responsible for Wu Xian.
Li Xinrong had no objection to this arrangement.
Wu Xian couldn't hide his ugly expression. Neither the Mobao Team nor the Lu Yao Team was friendly to him, but he couldn't say he would just give up.
Before the Lu Yao Team prepared to break into the water company, the Dream System still didn't give up and advised anxiously: "Why don't you listen? I'll let it go. He said so, and he didn't hesitate to use the self-torture trick..."
Lu Yao said half seriously and half perfunctorily: "But we did accept the customer's order."
Lu Mingxiao might not be using the self-torture trick.
He was hiding something from her.
This order might be a bit troublesome, but it couldn't be avoided.
Some things were probably destined when she decided to open an errand shop in the Kingdom of Gold.
