Tianyizhuang
The old man took back the raincoat after saying this, and he really didn't plan to sell it to the two of them.
Where did this fool come from!
The two men looked at each other until they saw the same disbelief in each other's eyes.
Now it is certain that the problem is not with them, but with this old man!
How could anyone not make money? Where they came from... amidst natural disasters and man-made calamities, let alone business, everyone was eager to take a piece of flesh from everyone else. That was the true hell of "others are hell."
There are actually people who don’t eat the duck that is already in their mouth?
They couldn't buy the straw raincoat, so with mixed feelings, the two followed the old man's instructions and walked towards the garment factory.
The only people they encountered along the way were neatly and warmly dressed, a sheer number that even the two of them couldn't help but be struck by. They rushed to and fro, their steps hurried, yet their expressions of labor and torment were far from exhaustion. Instead, they seemed to be thriving.
The scene was so dreamy that it seemed unreal. The two of them felt more and more dazed as they walked, until a cold wind blew by, and amidst the flying snow, they saw a row of thinly dressed people with pale and blue faces not far away.
That's right.
The two of them finally came to their senses. How could it be possible? How could everyone in a territory not be cold and frozen?
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and naturally blended into the crowd.
However, before he could completely relax, the man in front felt someone approaching from behind, turned his head to take a look, and was about to turn back when he was suddenly stunned.
"You two are so stupid, why did you buy a hand warmer and hold it?"
In his hand, he was holding a flat, round object resembling a hot water bottle. He was also lightly dressed, but compared to the other two who looked pale, the man before him had a rosy complexion.
It doesn't look like she's wearing such thin clothes in the snow.
Could it be the effect of this hand warmer?
The two looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes——
They had sneaked in on purpose, precisely because they had been ordered to come here to investigate what good things there were and whether it was worth it for the territory to specifically rob them.
He remained calm and was about to continue asking questions when suddenly a man in a cloak passed by in front of him. He seemed to have heard the two people talking and stopped.
"Don't worry, we've all been there, it will be fine." As he spoke, he groped under his cloak and took out a strange-shaped cake from his backpack, which he broke open and stuffed into the hands of the two men.
As he moved, his thin body was revealed under his cloak, and it looked like he wasn't wearing much.
"Don't despise me." After saying that, he left without waiting for the two of them to speak.
The two looked at the cake in their hands: "?"
baffling!
"This brother is a good man,"
The man who had just spoken breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two people holding the cakes in their hands in a daze. "Are they really frozen silly? Don't worry, if you really feel uncomfortable, you can go to the hospital for a checkup. It's not expensive. If you really don't have money, you can put it on the bill."
"I bought a cloak, then went to the elementary factory to buy a hand warmer, and added charcoal to the kitchen. They're all very cheap. These things, which involve human lives, are really cheap in the territory. I heard that clothes were even cheaper in the past, so now everyone can have a set!"
"Hurry up and eat it! This is made with chili peppers, which has a warming effect. Eating enough will keep you from getting sick..."
The person in front of them kept muttering and saying a lot of information, and the two of them listened.
At first, I was secretly happy, thinking that this mission would definitely be completed, but gradually, I began to feel a little uneasy.
These people...are too innocent, the deep concern in their eyes illuminating their dark hearts. They are like rats in underground pipes, and when they see the light, even they become disgusted with themselves.
I sat there uncomfortably listening to the man's talk for a while. As I took a bite of the cake in my hand, a strong warmth came over me. It was indeed as the man said, the warming effect was good -
On the other hand, the man who just came here was a newcomer who had nothing, but he was willing to give them good things that were not available in the places they came from.
This feeling of successfully completing a mission but not being able to say it was accomplished was the first time they had ever experienced it. Obviously... obviously, as long as they completed the mission, they could retire with honor and have enough food and clothing.
Just as the two were silently queuing, two people came over from a distance - Xu Lu and Zeng Wei.
After finishing her meal, Xu Lu heard a tenant say he was going to queue up to buy a cape. However, the cape was in short supply, and everyone was waiting in line to get it made. No one wanted to wait until the next morning, as it would delay work and they were afraid they would miss out if they didn't queue up.
It was difficult for her to persuade them, and thinking about the cold weather where they had to queue up, she decided to send some ginger soup over.
Zeng Wei, Xu Lu's first tenant, heard about this and remembered that he had also been there, so he volunteered to help.
As he handed out bowls of ginger soup to the people in line and heard their thanks, Zeng Wei also felt a deep warmth.
In Hungry Hungry, people are always so united, probably because of the lord here...
Just as he was thinking about it, Zeng Wei's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes fixed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly fell.
He saw an acquaintance—an acquaintance from Tianyi Village.
A strong sense of unease surged into my heart again, and the tortured and bloody memories of the past suddenly flashed back, that crazy night, those crazy people.
Why...are they here?
His heartbeat was like a drum, and Zeng Wei could barely breathe. The first terrifying thought that flashed through his mind was, "Are they here to arrest me?" He immediately dismissed it.
I was still incredibly scared inside.
No, these people are too dangerous!
He immediately pulled Xu Lu over and walked towards the city gate without looking back.
This night is destined to be a restless night.
The intervention of the security team members caused the people waiting in line for the cloaks to disperse. The two newcomers were arrested, and the confused crowd soon heard from Zeng Wei, who was pale, that the two of them had actually killed someone for personal gain!
Everyone knew that the apocalypse was coming, and logically speaking, death and murder should be commonplace. It was just that the environment of the hungry hungry hungry was so peaceful that the news spread throughout the territory in a short time.
The murderer had been queuing behind him!
What a horrible thing!
Fortunately, the security in the territory is very good. It is said that the two men had been in the territory for less than half an hour, which slightly eased the fear in everyone's hearts.
Ye Miaomiao now had to rebuild a prison. The simple prison that was used to supervise the merchants of St. Mark at that time could not accommodate a second person.
After building the prison, she first comforted the people who were queuing for cloaks. As long as there was one person who needed a cloak, the territory would not stop production.
Then we went to the newly built underground prison.
The ground-level lighting was a waste, and the prison stood in a pit in the Yellowstone mine. At this point, the third-level hell had a dozen or so cells, a prison guard NPC, a small centralized cafeteria, and a small workshop.
"The three have been detained separately." said a team member who was transferred from the security team and is now a prison guard.
He used to be a prison guard, and after the prison was established, he volunteered to be transferred here.
"Boss, are you going to interrogate them about why they came here?"
Ye Miaomiao nodded.
"Leave it to me, but I know these desperadoes best, and I doubt they'll tell the truth. I plan to interrogate them separately, which will take some time. Will I give you a report tomorrow morning?"
Ye Miaomiao: “!” There is also a report, professional!
She came in person, thinking that she would be interrogating them personally, and was still thinking about how to pry them open.
Since there are professionals who know more, it is naturally easier to hand it over to them.
"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Miaomiao patted his shoulder and suddenly felt that she had gotten a great deal.
In the game "Civilization," residents all start from scratch, and everything has to be cultivated slowly. Wouldn't it be wonderful for her to have a group of residents who once had jobs?
Thinking about it, Ye Miaomiao asked Fang Yan to pay more attention to those who used to be police officers or soldiers. They were all screened by the previous government. If she just recruited them, wouldn’t she be taking advantage of them for nothing?
Ye Miaomiao's mood was not affected at all by the two "murderers". Thinking of the many talented people in her territory, she left the dungeon with brisk steps.
She had no idea that on the other side of the territory, Charles trembled all over when he heard the news.
It is said that when the two men were dragged away, they screamed more miserably than pigs being slaughtered!
Fortunately, Arthur completed the mission, so he didn't have to do anything. Charles felt that those two people were the "versions of himself that Arthur didn't complete the mission."
He let out a light breath, closed his eyes peacefully, and prepared to fall asleep with peace of mind.
To be honest, the residential housing specially arranged by Ye Miaomiao is really comfortable to live in.
He had finally accomplished his mission and was now quietly waiting for good news from Arthur. As for how the Queen would praise him, he would first slowly experience it in his dreams, and then he would experience it in person a few days later.
