Not only was the woman pissed off by He Xiaobei, she also accidentally slipped and sat on a rotten corpse, which made her feel extremely sick.
She crawled up from the corpse, ran to the side and started vomiting violently again. She had vomited out her stomach last time, and now she started vomiting bile.
The four men shoveled for two hours until the truck bed was almost full of bodies. The driver motioned for them to get in.
Of course, they were not asked to sit in the front of the car, but in the bed. If they didn’t want to sit in the car, they could just run behind the car.
The four of them tacitly chose to run behind the car, but after just a few steps, they changed to running on the land on both sides of the car.
There was no other reason. The road leading to the crematorium was built temporarily, paved by free laborers like them using the debris of building ruins and sand.
The road surface is passable by cars, but after being pressed by too many cars, the road surface becomes bumpy and uneven.
When the car passes through a pit, a black, yellow, and foul-smelling liquid will flow out of the gaps in the truck bed.
He Xiaobei was fine, he just ran a few steps, but the other three were exhausted. They ran beside the car and complained, especially the girl:
"Wow, hubby, that driver is so mean! There's definitely enough room for us in that car, so why didn't he let us get in?"
"Don't cry, baby. Just bear with it. There's nothing we can do now. Once we finish the work here, we'll leave right away."
"Wow, woo, woo, can we really leave?"
The woman's answer was silence, and everyone was silent for a moment.
In fact, the woman knows the answer in her heart, and asking this question is just like hearing words of comfort.
But it was obvious that this problem also made her husband desperate, and he was not in the mood to comfort her at this time.
Inside the base, on the ruins of the dilapidated building, unlike He Xiaobei, Hu Ling was very comfortable at this moment. She was holding the hand of a good-looking young man and telling him his fortune:
"Hey, little brother, your life line is really long. You can definitely live to be a hundred. And your career line is also very good. When you turn 25, you will definitely be very successful."
When the guard heard Hu Ling's words, he immediately felt happy. Who doesn't like to hear nice words?
Especially in this end times, people know that many things are false, but they still choose to believe them.
It’s just like how religion is always born among poor people and then grows slowly.
Can they really save these people from the dire situation? Not necessarily, but at least they can bring people a vague hope.
People in distress will hold on to any glimmer of hope, even if all they get in the end is just a little psychological comfort.
As for Hu Ling's blue and white striped clothes, no one cared about it at all. After all, this woman had just given them a lot of good things.
Not only to the guards, but also to the laborers who worked with them.
There were so many porters in the ruins that it was impossible to count them at a glance, not to mention Hu Ling. Moreover, this woman was very interesting and could make everyone laugh, so the current scene was created.
While moving stones, Ba Xiong was inquiring for information from the laborers around him. Everyone knew that he and Hu Ling were together and that he had received a lot of benefits from her, so naturally they were not reluctant to chat with him for a few more words.
He Xiaobei and his friends followed the corpse transport vehicle for about ten minutes before they saw the crematorium in the forest. An indescribable smell began to fill the air around them.
As they got closer, the smell became stronger and stronger, even faintly covering the smell of the corpse transport vehicle.
He Xiaobei ran all the way to the crematorium. He glanced at the time and found that he had been running for about ten minutes.
The corpse transport vehicle was driving very slowly, but it was still very far from the base.
The reason why the crematorium was built so far away was probably because the upper echelons of the base disliked the strong smell and didn't want to pollute the air there.
The driver drove the truck bed next to a rolling conveyor belt, which was also covered with maggots and burnt slime.
I don't know if the driver thought the conveyor belt was too dirty, or thought it was unlucky to be too close to the incinerator, or was simply mean-spirited, but he parked the car several meters away from the conveyor belt.
He Xiaobei watched the driver park the car, then jumped out and ran towards the nearby guard and started chatting.
The four men looked at the truck bed and then at the dirty conveyor belt. They had no idea what to do, so they could only pick up shovels and start working.
They moved a total of four trucks that day, and when they unloaded the last truck of bodies, it was completely dark.
After unloading the bodies from the truck bed, the driver was still chatting with the guard. The woman who had fallen earlier washed the dirt off her body with the water from the puddle under the cover of her husband.
Then she took out a relatively clean set of clothes from her backpack and had her husband cover her up and put them on.
According to He Xiaobei's observation, during this period of time, only one of the three guards near the incinerator glanced at them and then looked away.
After the woman changed her clothes, the other two men also washed themselves briefly.
The three of them were cleaning and discussing, thinking of using some of the supplies they had to bribe the driver to ask him to be flexible and allow them to sit in the car on the way there and back.
They were so tired after running around and working all day.
The supplies may not be able to be kept for long, so it is better to bribe them now to preserve their physical strength and hope that their bodies will be worn down more slowly.
The guard and the driver didn't look when the woman was changing clothes, but when they gathered together to discuss it, the driver and the guard looked over.
Not only did he look at them, but the driver seemed to go out of his way not to disturb them, as if leaving them room to discuss things.
After the three of them had finished their discussion, the driver came back with a smile on his face, opened the car door and got directly into the driving seat.
Seeing this, the woman quickly ran over and stuffed something into the driver's hand, thinking it was very discreet. He Xiaobei saw that it was a gold necklace.
The driver simply took it and put it in his pocket, and the three people got in the car as they wished.
In fact, the driver's claim that they were dirty was bullshit at the beginning. How could a truck carrying corpses be clean? Although he didn't work, he was in contact with smelly corpses every day.
Even so, there are still people who rush to do the job of transporting corpses. Although it is dirty and smelly, there are many benefits.
The driver felt very unlucky today as he actually met those guys. The three of them were ignorant and only took out their things at night.
He looked down on He Xiaobei even more, thinking he was a psychopath.
But fortunately, there was some gain. These captured laborers had been outside for so long, and they still had some supplies in their pockets.
