261 ? The tenth store

261 The Tenth Store

◎Brother Mo Zhu.◎

Lu Yao made an agreement with Mo Zhu, and then he and Ding Qing set out.

Ding Qing was not from Gaosheng City, her family lived in a medium-sized city called Xiongneng.

The errand shop did not have a station in this city for the time being, but when arranging errand runners to scout locations across the country, Lu Yao built one or two teleportation arrays in most cities.

Xiongneng City also had a teleportation array.

Ding Qing took six teleportation scrolls from the store, and set out for Xiongneng City with Mo Zhu.

Seeing Ding Qing's skillful use of the teleportation scroll, Mo Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the dissatisfaction in his heart became more and more obvious.

In almost an instant, the two of them came to Xiongneng City from the main store in Gaosheng City.

The teleportation array was in a residential building. The surroundings had been cleaned by errand runners. When you came out of the array, you were in the living room. The room was very safe and clean, and there was no trace of zombies.

Ding Qing took Mo Zhu out of the teleportation array, went downstairs and walked out of the community, and walked along the road for about a hundred meters. She finally knew where they were when she saw a collapsed road sign on the side of the road.

Mo Zhu had only been in Gaosheng City for one day, and he could clearly feel the difference walking on the street.

The streets of Xiongneng City were visibly desolate, with zombies walking all over the road, and no signs of living people.

Ding Qing stood at the intersection and observed for a while, then picked up a dark green electric car from the pile of small green cars lying on the side of the road, and took out a key from the cloth bag of the errand clerk, inserted it into the car, and after two beeps, the car unlocked.

Ding Qing pushed the unlocked dark green electric car out, rode to the side of the road, and threw a helmet to Mo Zhu: "The journey is a bit far, let's ride over."

Mo Zhu held the helmet and looked a little strange: "How did you know there was a car here?"

Mo Zhu had just arrived for a day, so it was normal for him not to know the arrangements in the store.

Ding Qing explained, "The owner has taken into account that some employees may need to use the teleportation array without a station, so he has specially arranged for runners to place mobile tools nearby. Some places also have reserved weapons and talismans, and there are marks along the way that only the employees can recognize."

Ding Qing pointed to the key chain hanging on the dashboard of the electric car and said, "Each employee has three of these universal car keys, which correspond to electric cars, small vans, and medium and large cars of similar models. As long as it is a mobile tool placed in the store, one key corresponds to all similar models of vehicles. I only ride an electric car, so it should be no problem for me to take you. But if we encounter a large zombie tide on the way, I will have to trouble you to take action."

Mo Zhu didn't know that Lu Yao had made so many preparations. The more he listened, the silenter he became. She seemed to be more worried than him, the main god of this world.

Ding Qing got on the car, and Mo Zhu hesitated for a moment before sitting on it. The feeling was really subtle.

He had been a god for tens of thousands of years, and this was the first time he was so down-to-earth. Not only did he ride in this low-class car, but his people took him.

However, after riding the small electric car through two streets, Mo Zhu gradually found it interesting.

This car is fast, and the wind blowing on the face is particularly comfortable.

Because the car is small, you don't have to pay attention to a few zombies on the road, and you can pass through them in a flash.

It took about twenty minutes, and the dark green electric car stopped at the gate of a community with a dilapidated facade.

This used to be an upscale community. After the outbreak of the zombie virus, it quickly declined. Now there are only empty houses and countless corpses left.

Mo Zhu: "What are you doing here?"

Ding Qing: "At the beginning of the zombie virus outbreak, my parents died at home. I couldn't take care of them at the time..."

Ding Qing didn't continue to speak, lowered her head and lowered her voice: "Please accompany me upstairs."

The door of Ding Qing's house was open, just like when she left, without any change.

There were dried black bloodstains left at the door. She stood at the door, and the past instantly flooded her mind.

Even though she had personally dealt with Chen Fu and others, she was still full of hatred when she thought about it.

If it weren't for Chen Fu, her parents and her boyfriend wouldn't have died so tragically.

In the living room, two highly decomposed corpses were lying on the floor, stinking, with a lot of blood and pus all over their bodies, which were dried black and yellow by the wind.

Ding Qing walked to the corpses silently, as if he didn't smell the bad smell at all. He scanned his parents' bodies inch by inch, lowered his head and took out the talisman for cleaning from the cloth bag.

Ding Qing used the talisman to clean the worms and blood on the floor, patiently tidied up his parents' faces, changed them into clean clothes, and put them into the coffins that the shop owner had helped prepare.

Lu Yao lent Ding Qing a Qiankun bag, which contained the coffin, funeral clothes, candles, and paper money.

There is a cemetery in Xiongneng City.

Ding Qing took her parents' coffins directly to the cemetery. The gravekeeper had turned into a zombie, trapped in a narrow dormitory, and let out rough screams.

There were many ownerless graves in the cemetery. Ding Qing did not bury her parents in the cemetery. She dug a hole in the woods next to the cemetery and buried the coffins in it.

Ding Qing sat in front of her parents' graves for two hours until it got dark. She stood up with her numb legs and feet, and walked to the road outside the cemetery.

Mo Zhu silently accompanied Ding Qing, like a bystander, watching a lonely funeral.

When leaving the cemetery, his fingertips moved slightly, and the gravekeeper zombie in the dormitory suddenly stopped screaming, as if he had fallen asleep, and slowly crouched down beside the bed.

After leaving the cemetery, Ding Qing rode his bike with Mo Zhu back to the teleportation point, and in the blink of an eye, they returned from Xiongneng City to the errand shop in Gaosheng City.

The place they teleported back to was in the back office.

Ding Qing thanked Mo Zhu and turned to go out to find Lu Yao.

The store was closed, and the errand runners had gone home. Only the owner was still in the staff office, putting together a pure white puzzle alone.

When Ding Qing entered the door, Zheng Han and his sister Zheng Xinxin were sitting on the sofa on the side.

Lu Yao heard the sound at the door, without looking up: "Is it done?"

Ding Qing walked in and bowed to her solemnly: "It's done. Thank you for your care." Lu

Yao shook her head at her: "It's strange to say that. You've worked hard, and you're off work. Go back and rest early."

Ding Qing turned and went out, and met Mo Zhu at the door, and nodded slightly to him.

Mo Zhu walked in and saw Lu Yao, and was about to say something, but when he saw Zheng Han and his sister, he silently swallowed the words.

Lu Yao waited for him to come back, and when he saw him coming in, he immediately greeted him: "You are back, do you want to eat?"

Mo Zhu wanted to eat, but because there were other employees around, he shook his head.

Lu Yao saw the tangle in his cold expression, pretending not to notice it, and pointed to the Zheng brothers and sisters beside him: "Zheng Han and Xin Xin have something to ask you, come back and have dinner after you are done."

Zheng Han immediately said: "Let Brother Mo Zhu eat first, we are not in a hurry."

Zheng Han originally wanted to ask the owner, but after hearing his request, the owner immediately said that there was a more suitable person.

He initially thought that the owner was talking about Harold, but after work, Harold took the errand boy back, and the owner did not say what happened. It turned out that he wanted to ask the new errand boy for help.

Mo Zhu did not react for a while, and his mind was still thinking about the greeting just now.

Brother Mo Zhu...

No one has called him like this for tens of thousands of years.

Lu Yao answered for him: "It's okay, your brother Mo Zhu is not hungry, it's just right for him to come back for a midnight snack after finishing his work."

Brother Mo Zhu...

Mo Zhu fell silent again, and finally realized that the owner seemed to dislike him a little...

He thought so and asked.

Lu Yao had been working on the jigsaw puzzle all day and was indeed a little annoyed, but he just looked up at him and said in an incredible tone: "Why do you think so?"

Suddenly meeting three pairs of purely puzzled eyes, Mo Zhu: "..."

Just like that, less than five minutes after Mo Zhu returned from Xiongneng City, he rode out again to carry out a new mission.

This time, he took Zheng Han and his sister to Jingui Community. As for what they were doing, Mo Zhu didn't have time to ask.

Zheng Han grabbed the hem of Mo Zhu's clothes and kept tangling with him all the way. He couldn't help but said, "The owner is very good. She has no opinion against you."

Mo Zhu: "..."

Zheng Han is not very old. After his mother passed away, he and his sister were lucky enough to meet an errand runner to survive.

He has never forgotten this kindness.

Later, the store was recruiting a clerk, and he went for an interview.

He knew how many people wanted this stable job, but the owner chose him.

There may be mercy and sympathy, but Zheng Han is grateful for this kindness.

Without this job, his and his sister's life would be much more difficult.

He alone could not protect his young sister.

Mo Zhu stopped the car at the gate of Jingui Community.

There are still zombies in Gaosheng City, but because of the existence of errand runners, the number is far less than in other cities, and even small zombie waves have rarely appeared recently.

The gate of Jingui Community was locked, and there were still a large number of zombies wandering inside the community.

Mo Zhu asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zheng Han asked Mo Zhu to take him and his sister into the community.

The night gradually darkened, there was no light around, only the moonlight, coldly scattered on the ground.

Zheng Han rode on the wall, trying to find his mother's figure among the rows of slow-moving potato heads.

Zheng Xinxin suddenly raised his head: "Mom!"

Zheng Han turned his head and found a familiar figure at the edge of a green tree in the corner of the wall.

Zheng Xinxin turned to look at Zheng Han, her voice clear and tender: "Brother, take Mom away."

Zheng Han didn't say anything, but reached out to take out a narrow fruit knife from his cloth bag, bent down and stepped on the edge of the wall, and carefully moved towards the corner.

Mo Zhu called Zheng Han, his face cold: "What are you going to do?"

Zheng Han didn't even turn his head and whispered: "Take Mom back."

Mo Zhu's sleeve was pulled by someone, and he lowered his head.

Zheng Xinxin looked up at him and said seriously: "The owner said that errand boys don't take jobs that involve killing people. We have to find a way to take Mom back ourselves."

Zheng Han had slowly moved to the corner.

The zombie in the corner had its head down for some reason and kept banging its head against the wall.

Zheng Han was in an excellent position. His fruit knife was a special knife given by Lu Yao, which could cut iron like mud.

As long as he lightly cut the neck of the zombie on the corner of the wall, the head would roll off, and his mother would be completely freed from the nightmare of eternal doom and sleep forever.

Zheng Han's hand holding the handle of the knife was shaking. He had made up his mind thousands of times that his mother had died a long time ago, and now this body was just a walking corpse occupied by the devil.

Cut it down, and the nightmare would end .

Zheng Han held the handle of the knife tightly, and his hand dropped down. Because he couldn't bear it, he slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, someone grabbed his arm. Zheng Han opened his eyes and met a pair of dove-gray eyes.

Zheng Han was a little angry: "What are you doing?"

The zombies wandering blindly in the community were disturbed. The mother standing in the corner stopped banging against the wall and slowly raised her head.

The moon tonight was very big and round. It was just covered by clouds, but now it came out again, and the bright moonlight fell into the world.

Compared with a few months ago, the mother's body and face have been rotten beyond recognition, the bones are slowly exposed, and there are maggots crawling on her face.

Zheng Han's pupils shrank slightly, and he raised his hand to swing the knife.

Mo Zhu held Zheng Han with one hand, flicked his fingertips, and a faint glow spread out like water waves.

The zombies wandering in the community fell down one after another.

Mo Zhu jumped down holding Zheng Han, and stretched out his hand to grab the zombies that fell in the corner of the wall.

He knelt on one knee and slowly put down the body of Zheng Han's mother. His long arm brushed across her face. In an instant, illusions appeared, and the dry bones and rotten flesh recovered bit by bit.

In less than a minute, the mother who was like a rotten corpse had all her bones and flesh, and the swelling and wounds on her face disappeared. Her skin was pale, and she closed her eyes as if she was sleeping on the lawn.

Zheng Han stared at his mother for a few seconds, then looked up at Mo Zhu: "You..."

Zheng Xinxin was still sitting on the wall, anxiously shouting: "Brother..."

Mo Zhu stood up, turned around and walked over to pick Zheng Xinxin up.

The brother and sister knelt beside their mother's body. At first, they were silent. Zheng Xinxin suddenly sobbed and fell on her mother, choking and calling her mother.

Zheng Han knelt beside her, raised his hand and wiped his eyes hard, but the tears could not stop and kept flowing.

...

Mo Zhu helped the siblings bury their mother. He followed Ding Qing's approach and took the body to the cemetery.

Returning to Guanyin Road late at night, Mo Zhu first sent Zheng Han and his sister back to their residence.

When he returned to the store, Lu Yao had not rested yet.

The owner was sitting on the carpet next to the sofa with a blanket wrapped around him, and in front of him was the hateful puzzle.

Mo Zhu walked to the sofa and sat down, looking at Lu Yao for a while: "What is your intention in letting me be an errand boy?"

[Author's words]

The tenth store has been finished, and the manuscripts are saved until the end of the month.

The eleventh store is still being saved.
