Chapter 225 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
Xiong Mao has always been an impulsive person who likes to be in the spotlight.
He was very jealous of Lu Xuan's experience of being appreciated and admired by countless disaster victims during his trip.
Therefore, after arriving at the first shabby-looking gathering place, he decided to follow Lu Xuan's example and fly down directly in his aircraft to make a shocking appearance and experience the feeling of being treated like a god!
According to Ge Yuan's previous style of doing things, this approach was too high-profile and was not within his consideration. However, since his face recovered, Ge Yuan's mentality has become much "younger", with a bit of the meaning of "an old man still having the passion of youth", so he did not stop Xiong Mao.
Then, they both paid the price for it.
As soon as it landed, it was surrounded by the strong and ferocious victims in the gathering place. Then, this group of people took the sticks and boulders in their hands and smashed the aircraft madly.
Xiong Mao: "!!!"
Ge Yuan: "!"
Xiong Mao was anxious and angry. "Are these people crazy? We provoked them, and they attacked us as soon as we got here! Do they know that we are here to deliver supplies to them?"
Hearing the disheveled victims outside constantly shouting "evildoers," Xiong Mao angrily cursed, "Bullshit! We are gods! You are the evildoers! A bunch of blind people!"
Ge Yuan's face darkened. "Stop talking nonsense. Quickly open the car door and put the aircraft away. If the aircraft is damaged by them, not to mention making money, all the supplies at home will have to be compensated to Lu Xuan."
Xiong Mao was startled and realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly opened the hatch and jumped down with Ge Yuan.
The victims outside stopped attacking when they noticed that the monster had spit out two people.
Xiong Mao took the opportunity to put the aircraft, which had many marks on it, into the space.
After collecting the food, he turned around angrily and was about to curse, but he found that although the victims around him did not attack him and Ge Yuan, their eyes were glowing green. They looked at them as if they were looking at food, full of greed and bestiality.
Xiong Mao was so frightened by their stares that he couldn't help asking Ge Yuan, "Uncle Ge, what's wrong with these people? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with their eyes?"
Ge Yuan: “…” Of course something is wrong. They are being treated like a dish.
Without waiting for Ge Yuan to explain, the victims could no longer control themselves and started to "order food".
"That young guy looks very tall. I want one of his legs!"
"Then I want his other leg, and no one is allowed to snatch it from me!"
"Bullshit! You're not afraid of dying of stuffiness if you only ask for one leg per person! The old rules are: one leg for ten people, one arm for five people!"
"I won't fight with you for it. I want the old belly meat!"
Ge Yuan's face turned pale. Who was he talking about being old?
After the cosmetic surgery in the medical cabin, he looks no different from a strong young man, how can he be old!
However, what these people said just verified his guess, and Xiong Mao's face turned green after he understood the reason.
"These beasts!"
Ge Yuan said with a dark face: "Just do it."
As he spoke, he took out two energy guns with his hands and pointed them at the people around him.
Xiong Mao clenched his fists and roared angrily. After upgrading to level two, the earth spikes doubled in power and number and shot out without mercy under the terrified gazes of the crazy disaster victims.
"ah--"
"What's this!"
“Puff!”
"Monsters! They are indeed monsters! Kill them now!"
A fight soon began.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
In the dilapidated camp, the victims who had fierce and greedy faces not long ago all fell to the ground, with multiple wounds on their bodies caused by energy guns or earth spikes.
Although two people were inevitably injured when facing hundreds of people, their faces and bodies were covered with bruises, and the wounds on their arms and backs caused by sharp stone tools were still bleeding.
But Ge Yuan and Xiong Mao did not hold back at all. The people lying on the ground were obviously in a worse state. Half of them had already died, and the rest were breathing out more than breathing in.
A man in front of Xiong Mao was still muttering: "Monster, damn it, monster... die, die... eat your legs..."
Xiong Mao angrily condensed a thorn of earth and stabbed it into the opponent's thigh, which already had several blood holes. "Eat shit! You still want to bite my leg? I'll cripple your leg first! Inhumane things, I don't know how you can still live! You are really a scourge for thousands of years!"
He cursed for a long time before he remembered something. He rubbed the red and swollen parts of his body from being beaten with sticks and turned to Ge Yuan and said, "Uncle Ge, you have to help me explain to my wife when we get back. This is not me being violent. If I hadn't been violent, we might have been left with nothing left."
Ge Yuan ignored his words and just looked around to make sure he didn't see any women or children. He said, "Look around and see if there are any other living people besides these people."
If these people can attack them, they may also attack other innocent victims.
Xiong Mao also thought of this, and the two of them quickly separated and began searching in a camp that was not the size of a village.
Finally, five adults, with much of their flesh missing and dying, were found in a thatched house near the center of the camp.
The thatched house was filled with the mixed smell of blood, rotting meat, and sweat, making people hold their breath.
The two men took a lot of effort to get the people out. They took out some dry ice and poured hot water on it to cool down the surroundings. Then they fed these people some water and nutrients, and bandaged their wounds that were still bleeding.
Based on their own experiences, the two subconsciously thought that these people were also innocent victims who were captured and persecuted.
But when two of them had something in their stomachs and regained their spirits, they took advantage of their inattention and quickly opened their mouths to bite the flesh of their companions on both sides. Their ferocious expressions were exactly the same as those of the previous victims.
Not to mention that one of them was driving towards a group of people lying not far away and yelling in a hoarse voice: "Brother, you killed my brother, pay with your life, pay with your life..."
Ge Yuan and Xiong Mao understood something in an instant, and their eyes turned completely cold.
Xiong Mao roughly threw the person he had helped up back to the ground, cursing, "These people are rotten to the core and not worth saving at all. Let's not waste our medicine."
Ge Yuan did not object.
These people have completely abandoned their humanity and are indeed not worth saving, so it is naturally impossible to do business with them.
A little further away from the camp, the two men also found many bones thrown together that were obviously not from young and strong people, with obvious signs of being gnawed by teeth on them.
The two lit a fire in the camp before leaving.
When they got back on the aircraft and left, they could still see from a distance some victims who were not yet dead in the sea of fire crawling up and grabbing other people nearby and biting them.
·
Lei Yan and Wu Yue formed a team.
The treatment of the two was somewhat similar to that of Xiong Mao and Ge Yuan at the beginning. They were also regarded as monsters at the beginning because they fell from the sky. However, when Lei Yan displayed his second-level thunder ability and made several lightning bolts fall on the ground, the victims living in the high mountain Buddhist temple near the grassland began to kneel down and worship them, praising them as gods.
Not only did some families send them boys and girls, but they also sent women to serve them.
Lei Yan only had Lu Qing in his heart, and Wu Yue was a live-in son-in-law, so naturally he would not accept these things. He just repeatedly emphasized that they were traveling merchants who came to do business.
The subsequent transactions went very smoothly.
In addition to the supplies sold by the Wu father and son, Lei Yan and Wu Yue also prepared a lot of ice. However, the weather was too hot and the ice melted quickly. The victims felt that the cost-effectiveness was not high and not many people bought it. They preferred to choose dry ice which they could use whenever they wanted.
Lei Yan and Wu Yue discussed it and decided to change the selling method.
Ice cubes are not sold alone, but are added to other drinks and sold as iced drinks.
Iced sour plum soup, iced mung bean soup, iced fruit juice, iced milk tea, although they are all gone after drinking, compared to chewing ice cubes, these delicious and refreshing fruit drinks can obviously bring great enjoyment to the victims, and the price is not expensive.
There is a small lake near the Buddhist temple. The people here have enough water and fish to eat. Compared with other disaster victims who cannot afford food, they are still relatively well-off.
Compressed biscuits, which are cheaper than nutritional supplements, are also quite popular.
Also, because many Buddhist temples collapsed in the earthquake, the victims had to live in a cramped situation, so some tents and mobile cabins were also sold.
Lei Yan also processed a batch of animal organs and bones at a low price, which were fishy and not eaten by his family members or by the villagers as they had developed a picky appetite.
There were seven or eight hundred disaster victims in the Buddhist temple. Even if each person only exchanged a few things, the total number would still be considerable.
The Buddhist temple was managed by the village chiefs of several villages with larger populations. The two men traded a batch of high-quality grain seeds that they had just harvested before leaving for the village chiefs and signed IOUs.
Wu Yue looked at the IOU, which showed that the amount of grain owed was more than double the amount of grain sold, and sighed inwardly, it turned out that business really did make a lot of money!
·
There was a problem at the coordinate point where Zhang Chengming and Jin He arrived.
They chose a small town of similar size to the gathering point where the Wu father and son finally went.
But when they arrived at their destination, they found that the town was divided into several parts by several underground cracks. All the living people in the town were unfortunately trapped in a small area. People lying on the ground or leaning against the wall could be seen everywhere.
When they first saw it, the two almost thought that these people were dead. After careful observation, they found that most of them had their chests still rising and falling, but it looked like they would not be able to hold on for much longer.
The two parked the aircraft in another area, took out the hoverboard and flew over. They approached a few victims to check on them and found that most of them were unconscious. The few who were still conscious were mumbling "water" and "hungry".
The two men then realized that these people were not encountering any other unknown dangers, but were simply starving to death.
How can we continue doing business if our trading partners are about to die?
There may be a lot of supplies in other buildings separated by cracks, but those supplies are most likely owned by these people. If they abandon the owners and go to loot the supplies, they would be such cowards.
The two discussed it and took out some nutritional supplements, feeding them to the victims little by little. There was also someone who felt hot all over and kept retching after taking some nutritional supplements, and complained of a headache. It was obvious that he had suffered from heatstroke, so they fed him a heat-reducing medicine.
After the dry ice was prepared, Zhang Chengming used his wind ability to blow a gust of wind to spread the cool air of the dry ice faster.
After all the busy work, the lifeless town finally had some life.
The victims who realized that they were rescued drank the thick, sweet iced mung bean soup. Some of them looked dazed as if they were in the clouds, with a look of unreality on their faces, while others kowtowed to Zhang Chengming and the others with tears in their eyes to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, thank you for saving my life."
Zhang Chengming hurriedly said, "Hey, no, no, no, stop knocking."
Jin He couldn't help but ask them curiously: "Why are you all trapped here?"
While they were still recovering, he went to several other divided areas to make sure that the people in other places were not dead, but that all the people in the town were really there.
When talking about this, the victims burst into tears.
It's their bad luck.
That was about the midnight beast attack.
At that time, in order to avoid the situation where people were too dispersed during the beast attack and would cause heavy casualties, everyone gathered together and looked after each other during the battle, thus minimizing casualties.
Everything went well at first.
But who could have imagined that an earthquake would suddenly strike in the middle of the journey. The ground cracked inch by inch under the huge vibration, and the town, which had not suffered any major problems during the earthquake, was split into five parts.
And they were so unlucky that they were completely trapped in one area.
In order to prevent the beasts from causing damage to supplies, they deliberately selected the empty blocks that were looted.
They managed to survive for about a month by relying on the prey left by beasts and the wild vegetables and even weeds that grew when the earth revived in spring, but the food would eventually run out.
They ate up the last bit of food, and two days later, people finally started dying, with more and more dying every day.
By now, they had been starving for four days and the death toll had reached one-fifth.
The most painful thing in the world is not that people are alive but have no supplies, but that the supplies are right on the other side of the crack in the ground, but they can be seen but cannot be eaten.
There are abundant forests surrounding the town. As long as they can go out, they can find a lot of wild vegetables, mushrooms, prey, and even tree bark!
But I just can’t get out!
I could only continue to be defeated by hunger, feeling my body getting weaker and weaker until I could no longer get up.
That feeling was so uncomfortable, both mentally and physically.
It is precisely because they have experienced this kind of despair that the gratitude and ecstasy that everyone bursts out after escaping from despair are particularly strong.
The victims ignored Zhang Chengming and his men's dissuasion and kept kowtowed to them. Then they hugged each other and cried, laughed and cried, venting all the emotions they had been feeling for some time.
Zhang Chengming was worried that their bodies would be damaged by the extreme joy and sorrow, so he quickly said, "Do you want to leave here? How about we take you across the underground rift?"
The victims were stunned for a moment. "Send us across the chasm? How?"
As soon as the voice fell, someone suddenly remembered, speaking of which, the two benefactors came again?
Someone did remember seeing someone flying towards them just before they nearly fainted from hunger, but how could a person fly? They probably were hallucinating from hunger...
Seeing Zhang Chengming and Jin He standing on a long plank suspended in the air more than three meters high, and then whooshing across the crack to reach the other side that they could never reach, all the victims opened their mouths in shock.
Someone murmured, "It's not an illusion, it can really fly?"
Zhang Chengming and Jin He quickly demonstrated to them through practical actions that not only could they fly, but they could also take everyone in the town with them.
With successive screams of "Ahhhhhhh", more than a dozen victims were brought to the other side of the crack.
These people's legs were weak when they got off the skateboards, but when they found that they had really left the place where they had been trapped for two months, they started howling uncontrollably again.
Zhang Chengming and his companion did not have a suspended bus, so they could only carry one person at a time.
Even though some people starved to death in the town, there were still more than 2,000 people alive. They would have to run back and forth a thousand times each to transport everyone away. Even if they took out all the other skateboards they had prepared, it would still take a lot of time to learn how to do it.
So the person who was transported over first cooperated with the two to find a suitable place on both sides to tie a strong rope, and asked the person on the other side to tie a safety rope around his waist and row over directly.
For those who are afraid of heights and really don't dare, or who are too old or too young, two people will personally escort them over.
This went on until the sun set, and more than 2,000 people were finally able to escape.
