Chapter 19 Can you lend me 100,000 yuan?
After Zhao Yunduo received the drone and lunch, the phone downstairs had been playing songs all day, but the battery was running low and the sound was gone. No one knew where the mother and daughter had gone since that day.
The drone was of no use, so Zhao Yunduo took a look at the instructions and put it aside.
After she finished her meal, the sound came from downstairs again.
Zhao Yunduo stuck his head out and found that it was the little girl from before. She nimbly ran into the green belt and picked up her cell phone which had run out of battery and turned off automatically.
Fortunately, after the sound died down, the zombies had already retreated. With the little girl's agile and small body, it was not difficult for her to avoid those zombies.
After she picked up the phone, she suddenly raised her head and looked into the eyes of Zhao Yunduo on the window.
"Sister!" The little girl raised her phone, "Can I borrow your phone?"
Zhao Yunduo was curious, so she asked her, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to call Dad!"
Make a phone call?
Zhao Yunduo had tried to make a phone call with her mobile phone, but she couldn't get through to anyone, not even 120 or 110. She certainly couldn't get through to her father either.
However, Zhao Yunduo did not persuade the little girl too much. After thinking about it, she used the drone she had just received to send a power bank to the little girl so that the little girl could turn on the phone and use it smoothly.
"Thank you, sister!"
The little girl was very happy. She took her cell phone and power bank and ran into a milk tea shop where she and her mother were hiding.
There is absolutely no food nearby, whether it is a convenience store or a milk tea shop.
Zhao Yunduo didn't know why the little girl called her father, but she didn't say much because it was a matter between the little girl and her mother.
But unexpectedly, not long after, the little girl ran out crying, saying that she wanted to return the mobile phone and power bank to her sister.
Zhao Yunduo, who was standing by the window, shook her head and said, "No, just throw it away if you don't need it."
She lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. The zombies not far away heard the sound and came closer and closer to the little girl.
Zhao Yunduo was getting anxious, "Go back quickly, it's dangerous."
The little girl walked back holding her cell phone, and suddenly shouted to Zhao Yunduo, "Sister, my mother and I haven't had anything to eat for a long time since we came here. If you have any food, can you give us some? My mother won't let me ask you for it, but I'm so hungry that I can't even walk..."
As she spoke, she saw a zombie with its mouth open walking towards the little girl. Zhao Yunduo couldn't help but throw a hammer at the zombie - it was the most inconspicuous one among a bunch of weapons that Shen Linglan had passed on to her, and was picked out by Zhao Yunduo at random.
Unexpectedly, the hammer hit the zombie right on the head, killing it directly. The little girl was able to escape and ran back to the milk tea shop.
Zhao Yunduo picked up his telescope and pointed it at the milk tea shop. The glass door of the milk tea shop was covered, but there was still a gap. Zhao Yunduo took a lot of effort to see the little girl and her mother. Sure enough, he found that the little girl's mother was lying on the ground, and the little girl was lying on her mother. It was unclear whether she was crying or talking.
When the wind blew, the curtain on the door swayed, blocking his view and Zhao Yunduo could not see clearly.
She stayed in the house for quite a while, but she still felt a little uneasy. She looked at the door of the milk tea shop several times, but she could no longer see the situation inside clearly. She saw zombies being attracted by the figure of the little girl, and gradually, three or four zombies gathered outside the milk tea shop.
Zhao Yunduo was restless. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to send a message to Shen Linglan:
[Lan Baoer, if I give food to a little girl, would it be too saintly? ]
Shen Linglan quickly replied:
[A hungry little girl trying to survive in the end times? As your best friend, I definitely hope you won't be soft-hearted. But I know you too well. You are a kind-hearted beauty. If you don't go, you might even feel guilty.]
[But I hope that if you go, you will protect yourself. If they hurt you, don't be soft-hearted a second time! ]
With the support of his best friends, Zhao Yunduo became much more motivated.
She restarted the drone and placed the external speaker on it. She asked Shen Linglan to buy the speaker for her after she threw away her old phone. Although she had no worries about money now, she didn't want to use a new phone worth more than 10,000 yuan as a disposable one.
Zhao Yunduo repeated the same trick. He tied a stereo playing "Good Luck Comes" to the drone and operated the drone to lead the milk tea shop and the surrounding zombies away. He then turned off the music and used the drone to deliver a bag of bread and two bottles of milk to the little girl and her mother.
The little girl heard the drone knocking gently on the glass door and opened the curtain with a look of surprise.
Zhao Yunduo couldn't hear the little girl's voice, she could only see the little girl raising her head, giving her a very bright smile, and making a love sign with her hands.
Then he carefully opened the door, took the food off the drone, closed the door quietly and carefully, and ran back to find his mother.
After she delivered the things, she sent a message to Shen Linglan. Shen Linglan had just got off work and was relieved to hear the message. She was about to get on the car to go home when someone suddenly grabbed her hand.
"Suzuran..."
Shen Linglan turned around and saw that it was Song Zhangling.
He looked confused and hesitant. Under Shen Linglan's puzzled gaze, Song Zhangling finally spoke, "I have something to ask of you."
After saying this, he lowered his head again, looking as if he was feeling very upset.
"Just tell me."
Song Zhangling lowered his head and asked Shen Linglan in a low voice, "Can you lend me 100,000 yuan?"
One hundred thousand?
Shen Linglan raised her eyebrows, "Why should I lend it to you?"
Apart from the team-building event, the two of them had hardly any dealings with each other, and they hadn't spoken a single word even after adding each other's contact information last time.
Song Zhangling apologized directly, "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous. But I really have nowhere else to turn. I can sign an IOU with you, you can charge interest, and you can also take my ID card..."
He gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked at Shen Linglan, as if he had made up his mind, "You can even let me do anything, take any photos. As long as you can lend me the money without worry... I swear, I will pay you back when I graduate!"
One hundred thousand yuan is too small for Shen Linglan and is not worth mentioning at all.
However, Shen Linglan cannot lend money to others casually, otherwise once this door is opened, more and more people will ask to borrow money.
"Are you having any trouble?"
Shen Linglan asked him.
Song Zhangling subconsciously looked at the people around him. There was only Chen Mengxue sitting in the car waiting for Shen Linglan to get in. There was no one else around them.
He also whispered to Shen Linglan, "My brother...he did something illegal and needs 150,000 yuan for bail, but I can only get 50,000 yuan, and it's a loan."
What he said was true. 50,000 yuan was indeed the maximum amount he could borrow or loan. He was unemployed and had almost no savings, so the 263 yuan AA payment for the company's team building two days ago was simply unaffordable for him.
"Illegal?! What did your brother do?"
"He... is involved in organized crime."
