A town is a town after all, not a fortress, and its low walls cannot really protect the residents living inside.
The castle can only protect the vampires from being burned by the sun. After all, the number of guards is limited, and the guards during the day are all humans who are not afraid of the sun. Ye Zhou believes that as long as they act during the day, they will not encounter too much danger.
After making arrangements for the employees who stayed behind, he left the supermarket with most of the adults.
The only "child" in the group was Sarah.
Originally, Ye Zhou didn't want to bring Sarah out with him. She had just left that hell and going back would inevitably be saddened by the scene.
But Sarah insisted on going with them, even throwing a tantrum and rolling on the ground.
She was really throwing a tantrum, even though she wasn't very skilled at it and her facial expression was a little stiff. Not only did it not cause any headaches, it made people want to laugh. But since Sarah had shown this attitude, Ye Zhou nodded.
After all, although Sarah's mind is not very big, her fighting ability is enough and she won't be a drag.
Ye Zhou kept holding the walkie-talkie as he moved towards the town. Although he was able to contact Zou Ming these days, because the distance was too far, the sound coming from the walkie-talkie was either accompanied by huge noise or was intermittent and could not be heard clearly.
Now the distance between him and Zou Ming was getting closer and closer, and the voice of the walkie-talkie was becoming clearer and clearer.
When he stood on the hillside where he and Zou Ming had previously observed the town, the voice of the walkie-talkie was no longer accompanied by any noise.
Ye Zhou could tell from Zou Ming's voice that he was probably in a closed room and could hear a faint echo.
"Did you find it?" Ye Zhou asked in a low voice.
Zou Ming paused for a moment, and said helplessly, "Zhou Yuanhe has a fever."
"He took medicine to reduce the fever, but he's still not fully recovered. I can't take him to find a doctor."
Ye Zhou: “…”
Zou Ming and Zhou Yuanhe climbed over the wall into the city at night so that the residents would not discover them. The vampires in the castle were all "nobles" and would not patrol the town personally. As long as they found a place that the guards would not easily patrol, it might not be dangerous at night.
However, sneaking into the castle requires daytime, but daytime is the time when the townspeople are most active. It would be easy for Zou Ming to do it alone, but Zhou Yuanhe happened to be sick, and Zou Ming really wanted to abandon Zhou Yuanhe - he didn't say it explicitly, but Ye Zhou could hear the strong disgust in his tone.
Zhou Yuanhe's illness was not serious, and his fever had subsided, but he was not in good spirits and was easily dazed.
"Then let him out tonight." Ye Zhou said to Zou Ming, "Let him go back to the supermarket to recuperate."
Zou Ming said "hmm".
Ye Zhou: "I brought a fluorescent lamp, but I don't know if it will work. Sarah is here too, and she doesn't want to stay in the supermarket."
"Quickly resolve the issue and get everything resolved tonight. If we don't make some money, I don't know when this will end."
Zou Ming had no objection.
The employees who followed Ye Zhou here had no objection.
The employees didn't care whether the lives of the townspeople would be destroyed by their arrival, nor did they care about the life or death of the blood slaves. They only knew that this was part of their job, and that it was enough to just obey the immortal's words.
They have no sense of mission to save anyone.
This time, Ye Zhou brought out not only fluorescent lamps, but also time bombs that could make a big noise. According to his idea, if the guards and townspeople were attracted away during the day, it would be much easier for them to enter the castle. Even if the townspeople and guards came back later, they had already subdued the vampires, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
When Wu Yan and his team went to bury the bomb, Sarah looked at the town below the hillside with an expressionless face.
This was the first time she saw the whole town with her own eyes - it turned out to be so small, and the castle that seemed grand and luxurious in her impression now looked like a small thing that could be flattened with one foot.
Ye Zhou was also looking at the town, but his angle was very different from Sarah's.
From a business perspective, the town actually has a very good geographical location. Because it is the Duchess's territory, there are no competing towns nearby, which means that no local officials will come to control it.
What Ye Zhou fears most in doing business is not greedy people, but stupid people.
What if local officials fail to see the benefits that supermarkets can bring and simply want to go to war with them out of fear of things getting out of their control?
Ye Zhou is not afraid of being beaten. If he can't beat him, he will run away and return to any previous plane.
But if he can't earn the money within the target, he can't unlock new functions of the system or new dimensions.
What Ye Zhou needs is a place where he can earn money safely. Thinking about it this way, this small town actually has its advantages. There is no supervision, there are many farmers around, and there are many travelers passing through this town. It should be an important transportation hub.
He even found a suitable place to open a store in the town - the castle was not very good, as it was in the middle of the town, and many travelers would never enter the town, but would only ask at the edge of the town if they could buy some food and water. It would be best if the supermarket was opened in a place where travelers could see it but not see the whole picture clearly.
Wu Yan and his team found an open and flat place, far away from where the crowd gathered, and buried the bomb. After making all the preparations, Ye Zhou and his team could only wait for Zou Ming to send Zhou Yuanhe out.
After getting ready, the group started doing nothing. Cao'er even brought Gobang, but unfortunately Sarah had no interest in Gobang at all. No matter how Cao'er coaxed her, Sarah was unwilling to learn how to play a game with her.
It was not until night fell that Ye Zhou took Chen Shu to the city wall where he and Zou Ming had left the town.
Ye Zhou threw a rope in from the outside, just like Zou Ming did before.
When the rope was pulled twice, he knew that Zou Ming and the others had arrived.
After all, if the guards discovered the rope, they would not pull it regularly.
Sure enough, the person tied to the rope this time was Zhou Yuanhe. When Zhou Yuanhe landed, he was still in a daze. His face was pale and his whole body was covered in sweat.
Ye Zhou reached out his hand to support Zhou Yuanhe. Zhou Yuanhe climbed onto Ye Zhou's shoulders, half hanging on him, and said weakly, "Boss, I screwed up."
He didn't expect that he would be so weak. Although his health has never been good, it has never been this bad.
Ye Zhou didn't blame him. No one wanted to get sick. He patted Zhou Yuanhe on the back and comforted him, "It's okay. No one will never get sick."
"Boss, let me support him." Chen Shu glanced at the wall, then she immediately reached out and "grabbed" Zhou Yuanhe away without waiting for Ye Zhou to speak.
Ye Zhou: “…”
It's a good thing that everyone is rushing to do things, but he's not so precious that he can't even help someone, right?
Before Ye Zhou could ask, Zou Ming had already climbed over the city wall.
He glanced at Zhou Yuanhe who was supported by Chen Shu, with no expression on his face. He turned to Ye Zhou and said, "Tomorrow morning or afternoon?"
Ye Zhou thought for a moment and said, "In the morning."
People are most energetic in the morning and can detect the slightest disturbance. When the explosion sounds, most of the townspeople should be able to hear it. As long as half of them leave the town, they will be halfway successful.
By then, you will be able to blend into the crowd and the possibility of being discovered will be small. Even if you are discovered, it will be easier to escape in the chaos.
Because they couldn't enter the town now and there were too many of them, everyone had to camp on the spot. They went deep into the jungle to set up tents and cook.
There were a lot of people this time, so they brought a lot of things. There was no need to make a fire, as they only brought self-heating food.
As night fell, Ye Zhou went into the tent after finishing his meal. There was limited flat land available for setting up the tent, so even though they had enough tents, they could only squeeze into one.
Ye Zhou had just got in and sat down when he saw Zou Ming coming in right after him.
Now no one will ask, everyone assumes that Zou Ming and Ye Zhou will live in the same tent.
"You haven't encountered any danger these days, have you?" Ye Zhou took off his coat. He was only wearing a white short-sleeved shirt under his coat. His exposed arms looked thin but strong. Ever since he started the plane trading, the originally soft flesh on his body has now become much firmer.
Even without clothes, he has six pack abs.
The reason why Ye Zhou doesn't have eight packs is not because he hasn't exercised enough, but because this thing is innate. Some people have eight packs, while others can only have six packs after training.
Ye Zhou felt that six packs were enough for him, and he didn't know how many male compatriots would be overwhelmed by his six pack abs.
Zou Ming: "No, Zhou Yuanhe is sick, so we have been staying indoors."
They quickly found a place to stay outside the town. Usually no one came in or out of the abandoned house. At most, the neighbors nearby would come in to find some discarded firewood to take home for burning, and they would never go up to the second floor.
Zou Ming frowned slightly: "I shouldn't have brought him along."
Ye Zhou knew Zou Ming's temper.
Although Zou Ming doesn't say it, he wants everything he does to be perfect, and he wants to do it to a level that no one else can do.
Ye Zhou used to think that Zou Ming had obsessive-compulsive disorder, but later he discovered that Zou Ming's temper was only limited to the tasks he assigned to him.
Ye Zhou felt a little touched.
He looked into Zou Ming's eyes and said, "No one would have thought that he would suddenly fall ill before he went out. But it's better this way. I'm still worried about the two of you moving around. The walkie-talkie has a distance limit. If something happens to you, I won't know about it, which will be even more troublesome."
"To me, your safety is more important than making money. As long as we have goods, we can make money. It's just a matter of time. There's no need to gamble with your safety." Ye Zhou put his hand on Zou Ming's shoulder and pressed down.
Zou Ming opened his lips slightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, he just nodded slightly.
"Go to sleep, you have a lot to do tomorrow."
·
The horn man wakes up very early. He is always like this. He wakes up when the rooster crows every day and can only sleep after everyone falls asleep.
He rubbed his eyes, wiped away the eye mucus, picked up the wet cloth hanging next to him and wiped his face as if he had washed his face.
The orcs had thick calluses on their feet, so they didn’t need to wear shoes like humans. He yawned, put the thin blanket aside, and squinted his eyes to look for food. He couldn’t last until the afternoon without eating in the morning.
The tiger-eared man came in with a piece of black bread, broke it into two pieces of similar size, handed one piece to the horned man, yawned and said, "The amount of bread has been getting smaller and smaller recently."
The horned man nodded, and he ate half a piece of bread with well water. The tiger-eared man looked at him and said sarcastically: "Don't think about it, that man must have run away, he was just lying to you."
The horned man didn't say anything. He glanced at the tiger-eared man and said with a pout, "He may still be considering..."
The tiger-eared man rolled his eyes: "Would he run away if he was considering it? Even if he wanted to come back later, he couldn't."
"Don't think that he thinks highly of you just because he treats you well." The tiger-eared man knocked on the table. "No human race thinks highly of us. In their eyes, we are just livestock, not human beings at all."
The horned man glared at him but didn't say anything, knowing that if he continued talking the two would definitely start arguing.
"Let's go to work." The horned man stood up and walked towards the door.
They had to cross three streets to reach the oil press. The oil press was not big, with only two thatched houses. The oil was extracted entirely by manpower. The bean cakes were wrapped in straw and then pushed against them with solid wood. The oil output was not high, so even if all the people working in the oil press tried their best, they still could not provide soybean oil to everyone in the town.
And they themselves don't get any oil.
The people who work here are all from the lowest races, including orcs, dwarves and goblins, but looking around, there is not a single human being to be seen.
The horned man walked into the oil press at the invitation of others.
The environment in the oil press was not good. Not only was it drafty on all sides, but there was also a layer of sticky oil and dirt on the ground. When you walked through it, your feet felt like they were stuck to the ground.
Silently picking up the striking wood, the horned man suddenly turned his head and looked outside.
It started to drizzle outside again. The rain was brought in by the wind and hit his face. He was in a trance for a moment.
"What are you daydreaming about?!" the supervisor shouted at him.
The Horned Man immediately set to work.
His arms were sore, every day, but he had no time to rest. He had not "contributed" any new people to the Duke for many days, and the people he had recruited before had even escaped, so not only did he not get any reward, he was also punished.
He has to work when others are working, and he has to work when others are resting.
The horned man didn’t understand why the man was running away. Wasn’t this place good?
Here, the human race only needs to continue to absorb new people, and even if they don’t work, they can still get food.
However, although he couldn't understand it and felt regretful, he did not resent the other party.
The other person's clothes were neat, his back was straight, and he spoke in a soft voice.
He had seen people like that before, but he could only see them from afar, while people like that were always surrounded by people.
The horned man worked in silence.
That person must have a good background, maybe a noble among the human race, so it is normal that he doesn't want to stay here.
The Horned Man sighed.
"Bang!!--"
The horned man was startled, and the battering ram fell from his hand and hit his foot. He looked outside in panic.
A lot of people poured into the street. The townspeople heard a loud noise and just as they were about to go out, they heard another one.
This time it was louder and lasted longer.
"What happened?!"
"The ground is shaking! Run!"
“Run!!”
Someone shouted and the townspeople started to panic. Many of them didn't even put on their clothes and just ran towards the city gate. People were crowding and pushing each other.
The horned man stood there in a daze, not knowing what was happening.
Until the tiger-eared man grabbed his hand and shouted at him in the clamor: "Don't be in a daze! Run! The ground is shaking! You can't stay in the city!"
The horned man then followed the tiger-eared man and ran out in a daze.
The rain got heavier, and the big raindrops hit the horned man's face and body. For some reason, he suddenly felt very nervous.
Even a little breathless.
He looked at the back of the tiger-eared man's head and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
If they leave this town, can they survive?
