At the Pioneer Army Headquarters, Su Tao was in a low mood all the way.
She asked Shi Ziyue, "When did your brother start joining the army?"
"Sixteen, Sister Taozi. I know what you're thinking. You're a good person. No one has ever worried about my brother's life or death like you do. You've wondered if all the things you've done for him are worth it, and whether his life is more important. But you know, when my father died, he was only fourteen. He knelt beside my father's body and swore a solemn oath that he would fight for us as long as the apocalypse lasted. In his eyes, his life was far less important than protecting ordinary people like us."
Su Tao felt so uncomfortable. She had never felt like she did at this moment that being a hero was not a good thing at all.
She really just wanted Shi Zijin to live a good life and not be like Brother Zhuang Hu, who was suddenly told one day that he had left her life forever.
"Sister Taozi, I've tried to persuade him, but he's such a stubborn ass. Once he makes up his mind, he'll never turn back."
——
Shi Zijin rested until the afternoon, and when he felt that there was nothing serious, he took a car to go to the old leader's place.
When I arrived at the place, I also saw Xing Shuyu.
"Major General Shi? Are you injured again? Why are you getting injured so frequently lately? Last time I saw you, you broke your hand."
Shi Zijin nodded lightly, without further explanation, and walked in right after her.
Xing Hongwen was finishing the Taoyang lunch box his granddaughter had brought him. Seeing Shi Zijin's expression, he frowned.
"You're seriously injured."
Shi Zijin shook his head: "Compared to my teammates who lost their lives, I'm already very lucky."
Xing Hongwen frowned even tighter: "This shouldn't happen. What happened?"
Shi Zijin recounted the entire story.
Xing Shuyu was stunned. "A zombie that looks like a four or five-year-old human child? How is that possible?"
Shi Zijin glanced up at her and said, "It's impossible, but it really happened."
Xing Shuyu’s mind was filled with “Oh my God, it’s over.”
He looks like a human and is still a child. He can easily sneak into the base and kill everyone.
And it's so weird, it doesn't seem like the same species as ordinary zombies.
Xing Hongwen's brows tightened: "You seriously injured it, how could it escape?"
He knew Shi Zijin's abilities, which were almost omnipotent, and few prey could escape from his hands.
"Yes, its bony wings seem to contain venom that can cause people to faint and become paralyzed. I lost consciousness after being stung by it. My teammates noticed it and didn't dare to get close, so it escaped."
What a tricky monster.
Xing Hongwen rubbed his eyebrows:
"Got it, Zijin, you should rest well recently. I will send other teams to search again. This is a big hidden danger. We need to find out his abilities and growth rate as soon as possible."
Shi Zijin nodded.
Xing Hongwen then asked Xing Shuyu, "Shuyu, how are you getting along with Landlord Su lately?"
Shi Zijin's ears suddenly perked up.
Xing Shuyu scratched her head. "It's okay. She's a nice and straightforward person. I didn't hide my identity from her, and she accepted it and didn't kick me out."
Xing Hongwen nodded: "He's a good-talking kid, and quite simple. Shuyu, I called you here today to discuss a business deal with Su Tao."
"What?"
"The power grid outside Taoyang can not only output high-voltage current to drive away zombies, but the alloy walls are also very strong and well-made. They must have a factory that produces them. Go talk to Su Tao and tell him you want a batch of power grids. I'll take as many as you can."
Xing Shuyu was stunned. "Using it in Dongyang? Grandpa, are you afraid that zombies will evolve en masse and attack the city?"
Xing Hongwen nodded solemnly. "It's very likely. We'll need to obtain the flesh and blood of the Blood Scythe to determine the exact scale of the evolution. Further research is needed. Regardless, the sooner our city wall is completed, the better."
Xing Shuyu hesitated and asked, "Are you sure you want as much as you can get? What if you buy too much?"
Shi Zijin suddenly spoke up: "It won't be much. Even if there is more, these things are in urgent need in other bases. The question now is whether Taoyang has that much."
Su Tao really doesn't have that many.
When Su Tao heard that Xing Shuyu actually wanted to buy this thing, she felt terrible.
Because the electric fence was also inside the hidden store, she couldn't take out any of it except for the ones that already existed outside Taoyang.
You can’t buy it with money.
She spread her hands and said, "I'm not lying to you. If I had it, I would have sold it long ago. I'm short of money."
I don't know how to trigger the hidden task, ε=(ο｀*)))
Xing Shuyu was very disappointed: "If there is any later, please contact me as soon as possible. By the way, has Jiang Ze lived with us before?"
Su Tao frowned. "Yes, that's the one who was practicing his supernatural powers in the room and burned the house down. He also had a very bad attitude. I kicked him out that afternoon. What happened to him?"
Xing Shuyu raised her eyes. "No wonder I smelled a burning smell when I passed by a room the night before. It turns out someone was playing with fire in that room. What a scumbag! On my way back, I heard him complaining to the Land Management Bureau, saying Taoyang cheated me out of rent and kicked me out after less than two days. He didn't even refund the rent or anything, and didn't even return his luggage. Ugh! And so many idiots believed him."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to go back to kill people.
Su Tao was also speechless. It was really unheard of for someone to put the blame on someone else.
But she also has an open-minded view. The demand for rooms here far exceeds the supply, and fewer people coming to Taoyang will also reduce her workload.
The ten newly opened rooms were flooded with applications as soon as they were released.
Su Tao was still worried. She estimated that she would have to stay up for several nights to sort out the information and choose a suitable tenant.
Su Tao is open-minded, but Xing Shuyu is not. She now feels from the bottom of her heart that there is no place more conscientious and more comfortable to live in than Taoyang, and she will not allow any scum to maliciously slander her.
Seeing her rushing out like a bomb, Su Tao didn't stop her.
She sighed and prepared to clean the house and screen the tenant information later.
The downside is that when there are too many people, the public areas get dirty easily.
When the next fifteen tenants come in, the amount of cleaning will have to be increased, and I really need to hire a domestic cleaner or something.
Unexpectedly, when she was about to mop the floor, a small figure had already finished mopping the floor for her and was about to throw away the garbage in the living room.
Su Tao knew her. She was Qian Rongrong, the sixteen-year-old daughter of a single mother in Double Room 004. She no longer went to school and usually managed seeds in the plantation.
The system collapsed in the apocalypse, and the nine-year compulsory education was long gone. Families with better conditions, such as Shi Ziyue, all went to private schools. In addition to studying academic subjects, they also had to learn apocalyptic survival codes, self-rescue, first aid, bandaging and other survival skills.
Seeing Su Tao, Qian Rongrong said embarrassedly: "I got off work early today, so I'll help clean up. Is it okay?"
Su Tao smiled and said, "Of course, I have to thank you."
Qian Rongrong shook her head vigorously: "My mother said you are a good person and asked me to help you more. I will come to clean the house early after get off work in the future."
"No, no, eh——" The little girl had already run away.
Su Tao felt warm in her heart, but also a little helpless. This little girl should find a chance to talk to her mother. She can't really let her work for nothing.
Su Tao stayed up all night and her eyes were tired from reading the information sheet.
The Su family still did not give up. Not only Su Zhengqing's information appeared in the application form, but Jiang Jinwei's was also.
