Chapter 107 The Matchmaker's Tale (Part 5)



The chaotic battle lasted for a whole day, and the zombies only began to retreat as the sun set in the evening.

Looking at the city that had turned into a desolate wasteland, I felt an indescribable sense of desolation.

The Austrian government was busy rescuing survivors and rebuilding the city, and the investigation team, seeing how busy they were, wisely left first.

The mutual aid ambassadors stationed in various countries have a really tough, pitiful, and dangerous job.

Before leaving, I overheard everyone discussing the woman who let the zombies in.

"I heard she had three children: an eldest daughter, a second son, and a youngest daughter. The eldest daughter was in her teens when she was raped and sexually assaulted by a group. She was raped to death and her body was dumped by the roadside. It wasn't discovered until the next morning. The mother went crazy, went home, stabbed the child's father to death, and then went out and opened the city gate."

"Why would you stab the child's father?"

"On the day of the incident, her father went to drink with his friends. The eldest daughter went to find her father, but she never came back. Everyone is saying that it was her father's friends who ruined her."

"This is too outrageous."

"The parties involved are all gone, and no one knows what the truth is."

Yan Shi sighed deeply; she absolutely did not want her child to live in such an environment.

There are still many survivors in Austria, but you don't need to visit them all. Just follow the address sent by District 1.

Yan Shi felt that their investigation team was doing the work of spies.

Austria receives very little rainfall, so people in the city have to conserve water. Once they leave the city, their drinking water runs out in just a couple of days, and there is also a shortage of vegetables and fruits. Everyone relies on vitamins and other nutrients to supplement their nutrition, and they all look pale and lifeless.

Yan Shi also brought two children with her. Everyone said that it's better for the children than the adults to suffer. Although everyone disliked having children in the team, when things got tough, the best things were still given to the children first.

Austria does not eat dog meat or pork, but there are no pigs in Austria either.

Before, we ate mostly beef and mutton, but later, in this remote area, where could we find beef and mutton? We managed to catch a antelope, which was barely considered our first taste of meat. But we were no match for the fat and healthy animals that others had raised. We ate in silence, thinking only of having a good meal when we got back home.

They endured hunger and thirst and finally crossed the mountains to reach Iraq.

Iraq is definitely a breath of fresh air among the surrounding countries. Due to its religion, it has many regulations on men's and women's clothing and etiquette, but it is definitely a country where men and women can live in basic equality, although it is far inferior to the Star Kingdom.

However, after living in Iraq for a while, I realized that this was not the case. It is a complex country, seemingly clean on the surface but incredibly dirty underneath.

Polygamy is permitted in Iraq, but for the poor, monogamy is the norm.

To Yan Shi's astonishment, according to their religion, premarital sex is not allowed, let alone the sex industry. However, this is not actually the case. Short-term contract marriages and traveler marriages have become a fig leaf for the sex industry. Coupled with the rampant use of social networking sites, private referrals from former clients, and even immoral wife-swapping relationships, a complex network of relationships has been created that has woven together a space beyond the reach of the law.

These things originally had nothing to do with Yan Shi. It was Zhuang Zhao who was given a room number, but they didn't pay any attention to it. Unexpectedly, they were knocked on the door in the middle of the night. The man who gave them the room number was standing at the door. Zhuang Zhao used his brain and knew that it was not a good thing. He opened the door and beat the man up until he begged for mercy before he was let go.

The man was in the wrong and didn't pursue the matter further because he found it troublesome. Yan Shi was completely unaware of this until the next morning when Zhuang Zhao told her to be careful of the people in this country.

“Iraqi has rampant human trafficking, and even abducts people from neighboring countries to Southeast Asia. They keep saying they are cracking down on human trafficking, but in reality, officials and criminals collude, and the situation is only superficially peaceful.”

"Do you think we've been living in Anle Township for too long, and now we see everywhere as hell?"

"No, it is hell, but for evil spirits and ghost messengers, hell is heaven, a place where they can do whatever they want." Zhuang Zhao became angrier as he spoke. In all this time, this was the first time someone had ever set such a wicked idea on Yan Shi. They really didn't want to live.

Zhuang Zhao suddenly had a strong desire to possess Si Yue's fire abilities, to kill and rob without leaving a trace—a skill that would be essential for any home or travel.

Iraq is rich in oil, natural gas, coal and other mineral resources, which has long attracted the covetous eyes of major powers. It is remarkable that it has not been destroyed.

Backed by resources, they have no worries about food and clothing, and the country is wealthy, but there is no peace and prosperity.

This time, Yan Shi was invited to the residence of the spiritual leader.

“Our youngest daughter is of marriageable age now, and we have a few candidates in mind. Master, could you please tell us which one is more suitable for her?” the lady said to Yan Shi. She had specifically invited Yan Shi over because she saw her banner. The Star Kingdom was mysterious and powerful, and she trusted the master from there.

In Iraq, the spiritual leader holds military power and commands immense influence. The daughter of the spiritual leader is even more popular than the daughter of an ancient emperor.

Yan Shi was inevitably nervous, wondering if he would be killed if something went wrong.

In fact, even now, if it weren't for the appearance of her senior brothers and sisters, Yan Shi would still think that this thing she learned was just a bluff.

It is said that to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself, which is why she tried so hard to learn divination as if it were real.

The little girl is very beautiful. At just over ten years old, she is like a budding flower, her eyes clear and bright, untouched by worldly prejudices and the trivialities of life.

Yan Shi was even more serious and focused than usual, and then he encountered the first bottleneck of the matchmaking expert: the person the young girl liked, the destined marriage partner, and the most suitable person recommended by the lady were not the same person.

Is she telling the truth, or is she selectively concealing something?
