Chapter 538: The Abacus Beads Are About to Hit the Boss’s Face
The fat man and the thin man came to the foot of the orchard again.
The woman and the young man were nowhere to be seen in the orchard.
The two wandered around the foot of the mountain for two hours but still didn't see anyone.
The fat man lost his patience and asked, "Will they leave?"
"Impossible." The thin man shook his head. "This area is quite safe. The mutant animals are all former domesticated livestock and won't attack humans. It's common for mutant animals to come out and eat people in the middle of the night in other places. They must be reluctant to leave."
"Then...why haven't they shown up yet?"
The thin man thought about it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "I know! That idiot must have mutated and been infected."
"Yes, I remember now. He drank the mutated raw eggs yesterday." The fat man also remembered what happened yesterday.
"The idiot is sick, and that woman must be taking care of him. She will be late in looking for food. Let's wait a little longer."
The two found a shady tree to sit under.
After noon, a person finally appeared in the orchard.
The fat man and the thin man stood up together and stretched their necks to look into the orchard.
The person who appeared was actually that young man.
Both of them were stunned.
"No way... He drank the mutant raw egg yesterday, and nothing happened to him?" The fat man scratched his head.
The thin guy also found it incredible, "He even took that medicine and nothing happened."
"Could it be that the mutant infection has no effect on fools?" The fat man said excitedly, "This is a great discovery. Let's report this to the authorities. We will definitely get a big reward."
"But how can we trick this fool back?" the thin man worried.
"That's easy. As long as we get that woman back, this idiot will definitely come with us." The fat man suggested, "Or we could just tie him up first. He's even thinner than you, so he definitely doesn't have much strength."
The thin man shook his head. "It would be best if he could come with us on his own. I don't want to get bitten by him while I'm tying him up. There's nowhere to get a rabies shot in this world."
The fat man nodded and said, "Okay, let's go test him first."
The two entered the orchard.
Bai Lin was still searching for eggs throughout the orchard.
Meat was not scarce for Yao Tao; she could get it by just catching some prey.
But eggs are different. They are hard to come by in the wild.
It can be used for cooking, making cakes and desserts, and is especially suitable for children.
In the end times where meat is the main food, it is difficult for children who have just learned to eat to digest meat, so eggs are the best choice.
However, the price of eggs is several times higher than that of meat, and only a few rich people in the Ark can afford them.
It’s okay to eat it occasionally, but you definitely can’t afford to eat it every day.
Bai Lin was picking up eggs when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
He didn't look back and was still looking for eggs.
These two people posed no threat to him at all, and his instinct told him that he didn't need to pay any attention to them.
The fat man and the thin man came over with a playful smile, "Little friend, we meet again."
Bai Lin ignored them, bent down, picked up an egg from under a pile of leaves, and put it into the cardboard box in his arms.
Without delicious food, you can't attract his attention.
"Little boy, who is that woman from yesterday to you?" The thin man took out another piece of candy from his pocket, but this time there was no medicine in the candy.
Bai Lin smelled the sweetness of the candy and then looked at the thin man.
The thin man shook the candy in his hand and said, "Answer my question and I'll treat you to some candy... Who is that woman to you?"
"Daughter." Bai Lin uttered two words.
Fatty: “…”
Thin man: “…”
What the hell?
The thin man wanted to ask more questions, but the boy took the candy in his hand away.
It happened so fast that the skinny guy couldn't react at all.
The thin man was unwilling to give up and took out another piece of candy, "Then tell me again, who are you to that woman?"
"dad."
The candy in the thin man's hand disappeared again.
Thin man: “…”
