After dark, the barren mountain did not return to peace. Wu Yan was digging a hole with a shovel in his hand, sweating profusely. Fortunately, the soil was soft now, otherwise he would not be able to lift his arms by now.
These bodies could not be disposed of at will, but because it was hot and dry, they did not dare to set fire to them directly.
So they could only dig a hole and bury the body with great difficulty. If they didn't, the body would rot in two days and maggots would grow. The smell would probably drift down the mountain.
The immortals also said that they should be buried, because burying them can nourish the land and atone for the sins they committed on this land.
Cao'er was also digging the hole. She was small and weak, so Ye Zhou originally didn't let her do this job. But Cao'er's mother refused and wanted Cao'er to do whatever the men did.
Probably because Cao'er took the lead, the women who delivered food and water also started to help dig the pit. If they didn't have the strength to dig the pit, they would bury the bodies.
Ye Zhou doesn't care about these things. These employees gather around him as a family. Ye Zhou never interferes in their family affairs unless they attack and beat each other or violence occurs.
Compared to Ye Zhou, everyone accepted the corpse well.
They even laughed and talked while burying the body.
"We don't have to do anything!" Li Si said loudly while digging the soil, "All we have to do is shoot arrows! It doesn't take any effort!"
Chen Liu continued, "You haven't seen the power of the immortal weapon! I just pull the trigger, and the person falls down without doing anything else."
Cao Er put his hands on his hips and complained, "You guys are unwilling to finish off the enemy! I'm the one who did it all!"
They just wanted to rush in and make merit, but Cao'er was the only one who worked hard with a crossbow in the back to finish off the enemies. In the end, she could hardly lift her hands.
Wu Yan said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll give you the fruit I saved when I get back."
With Wu Yan taking the lead, others also said, "I have some saved as well."
The air conditioner in the supermarket is on all day long, and they can use the empty freezers at will, so the fruits can be kept for a long time.
Although they have been in the supermarket for such a long time, their habit of hoarding has not changed. As long as they think something is good, they will never eat it all in one go and will stockpile it no matter how greedy they are.
They not only stockpiled fruits, but also long-lasting grains, cured meats and dried fish.
Ye Zhou did not stop it. He could understand this hoarding habit. His grandparents still hoarded things until before he traveled through time. For them, this was a habit ingrained in their bones.
Those days of hunger left a deep mark on their souls.
"What's wrong? Haven't you recovered yet?" Sarah climbed up the boulder, sat next to Ye Zhou, and handed him a lollipop.
Ye Zhou's attention shifted: "Can you eat lollipops?"
Sarah nodded: "I got the chili flavored one. The spicy taste is the pain."
Ye Zhou nodded and looked carefully at the flavor Sarah gave him - strawberry flavor.
Ye Zhou opened the package, put it in his mouth and waited for it to melt slowly.
"Don't think too much. Just think of this as a game world." Sarah looked up at the moon. "Besides, if you don't kill them, they will kill you. Not every world is peaceful. If you want to survive, you have to be stronger than anyone else."
Ye Zhou asked vaguely: "How did you feel when you killed someone for the first time?"
Sarah said matter-of-factly, "I don't feel anything. I'm not a human."
Ye Zhou: "...When you kill vampires."
Sarah: “I’m glad.”
Ye Zhou asked curiously: "Happy?"
Sarah smiled and said, "We vampires are different from you. You believe in the survival of the fittest, but we believe in the law of the jungle. You are willing to raise a baby and wait for him to grow up. Vampires are not even willing to do this. They will take a fancy to a human with good conditions and turn him into their own offspring."
"I am my mother's biological child, and the child of her and a human, so she has always looked down on me."
"How strange it is that humans can become vampires, but the children of humans and vampires are weak hybrids."
"My brothers were once human, but they hate me more than pure-blooded vampires."
"They think I am bringing shame to the family and making them a laughing stock to others."
Sarah held her chin up: "So I don't think I am a human, nor do I completely think I am a vampire. To me, both humans and vampires are not my kind, and I will not have any burden to kill them."
"I have to live, and they have to die."
"So every time I win, I'm happy because I can live on. I haven't lived enough." Sarah turned to look at Ye Zhou, "Boss, you feel uncomfortable now and can't accept it. In a few months or a few years, when you look back on this matter, you will feel that it's no big deal."
Ye Zhou nodded at her, but he actually didn't feel anything anymore.
It’s not that he had no feelings, but rather that his emotional fluctuations were paused. From the moment he killed Zhao Changsheng, he could not feel anything.
In order to prevent the corpse from stinking, everyone was busy that night.
After finishing my work, I went back to have breakfast and then went to bed.
Ye Zhou didn't have much appetite, so he went to take a shower as soon as he returned to the supermarket. It took him at least half an hour to come out of the bathroom.
The employees could not find anything wrong with Ye Zhou compared to usual. They continued to eat and drink as usual, and did not lose their appetite at all after burying the corpse all night.
Ye Zhou originally thought that he would not be able to sleep, but as soon as he climbed onto the bed and covered the air conditioner, he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow.
He even had a good dream.
He dreamed that everything about time travel was just a dream. After waking up, he was still the owner of the supermarket that was preparing to open for business. He was arranging flower baskets with his employees. Then the supermarket opened and a group of customers rushed in. They were rich and well-educated. He collected the money until his hands were sore and his face hurt from smiling.
Both his parents praised him for his dream of opening a supermarket which had been pursued for many years.
He is the man born to open a supermarket!
Perhaps this dream was so beautiful that when Ye Zhou woke up and opened his eyes, he hoped that everything he saw was just a dream.
He subconsciously looked towards the bed. The lounge, which originally had only one bed, now had two beds.
"Oh..." Ye Zhou let out a long sigh. Zou Ming was not in bed. He was either awake or had not slept yet.
In order to maintain a regular schedule, Ye Zhou actually didn't want to sleep in the morning. It would be better for him to stay up until five or six in the afternoon so that when he woke up it would be morning again.
But he didn't expect that he could fall asleep so quickly.
Ye Zhou put on his slippers, washed his face and brushed his teeth, then went out to find food.
The supermarket was quiet as the employees were all resting. Ye Zhou deliberately slowed down his pace. He took a box of self-heating rice from the shelf, and after thinking for a while, he also took a box for Zou Ming.
When Ye Zhou was almost done eating, Zou Ming came in from outside.
He smelled of sweat, but it wasn't unpleasant, at least not as unpleasant as the smell of Ye Zhou's classmates who had just finished playing basketball when he was in college.
Ye Zhou: "I got you a box too. Come out after you take a shower and eat it. You didn't sleep during the day?"
Zou Ming took off his shirt and only wore a pair of trousers. He turned to look at Ye Zhou: "I didn't sleep. I went out for a walk."
Ye Zhou asked curiously: "What's there to do outside?"
It’s not that Ye Zhou can’t appreciate the scenery of nature, but it’s really hard to arouse more interest if you look at the same scenery every day.
Zou Ming: "I feel someone coming."
Ye Zhou was not surprised this time: "Are they refugees? How many people? If there are not many people, bring them here."
Now that he had firepower and his employees had fighting power, he didn't have to be as timid as before.
To be precise, it means being cautious.
At that time, Ye Zhou observed Zhao Erlin, You and the others for several weeks before he dared to make a deal with them. This was only after he was sure that they were exhausted, at the end of their rope and had no ability to resist.
Now Ye Zhou was confident, so he said in a big tone: "As long as there are no more than 20 people, it will be fine. Although their things are not worth much, they can still be exchanged for some cheap rice."
The grains in his store are more expensive than non-branded rice, so it is most cost-effective to switch to bulk rice.
Fresh vegetables are also expensive.
Zou Ming shook his head gently: "I just feel it."
He just felt that those people should be coming.
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "You have a sixth sense? I want it too."
Zou Ming was moved by the expression on Ye Zhou's face. He knew that Ye Zhou was pretending to be relaxed and deliberately not mentioning what happened yesterday, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll give you half."

"It's over there!" Lin You was riding a horse. He was wearing a farmer's shorts that were convenient for movement. In order to make it easier to travel, he didn't even take care of his hair. Days of wind and sun had made his skin dark, and he no longer looked like the rich young master he used to be.
The man next to him was tall and strong, riding a pitch-black horse. He frowned and said, "Sir, this desolate mountain..."
Lin You smiled and said, "You don't know the character of an immortal, I don't blame you!"
"The immortals don't ask about worldly matters. When you are in front of the immortals, don't mention your family matters. No, don't mention a single word!" Lin You, "Did you forget anything?"
The man was not unfamiliar with Lin You, so he sneered: "How many times have you asked along the way, and how many times have you personally ordered?"
Lin You sighed and said, "The immortal saved my life, I really have no way to repay him. I'm afraid the immortal wouldn't even look at gold and silver, so after much thought, I chose these things."
Man: "Only my uncle and aunt would tolerate your torment. I want to see if this immortal has three heads and six arms or eight legs."
Lin You's eyes widened: "How dare you!"
The man rode his horse forward, no longer caring about Lin You who was left behind.
Lin You looked at his cousin's back and sighed heavily!
Lin Youji rushed to Anyang City, and before he had time to rest, he told his elders how he was trapped and how he was rescued.
He said almost fanatically: "The immortals only look at sincerity. If I can still go to the immortal cave, I will be able to get more things in return!"
"Although this lamp requires electricity and batteries, it can make the night as bright as day! It is incomparable to ordinary fire!"
"And this needle, have you ever seen such a fine needle? Every length, thickness and thickness is exactly right!"
"Even if you don't care about yourselves, please think about the people of Anyang City!"
If he only relied on his words, no one in his family would believe him. They would just think that he was deceived and mistook the person for an immortal because he was in desperate situation.
But when they saw what he brought back, his family members were so surprised and suspicious that they could not find any reason not to believe him, so they listened to him, prepared the things, called back Goldman Sachs who was working alone outside, and sent the two brothers to walk the same path again to escape from the famine.
But this time they brought as many as two hundred people.
Lin You did not look at Goldman's back again. He looked ahead with longing.
He was finally going back to the immortal cave that he had been dreaming about.
