RLDRFH Chapter 58

Fang Hao frowned and pursed his lips after hearing Liu Jiangfeng’s words. “I recall him taking a lot of canned food before. Why would he would steal something like that?”

“It’s a habit to steal. When we fled to City A, there were always few things that went missing in the team. That night he was caught… isn’t he a habitual offender?” Who knew how many cans he had in the car. But suddenly sneaking into someone else’s car when it’s dark to steal instant noodles… The instant noodles were packed in plastic bags, so the sound woke others up as soon as he took them, and he was caught on the spot.

Maybe he wanted to change his taste? But couldn’t he trade with the things in his car? Why would he steal it when it’s dark? Did he really think everyone was a fool?

The back of his car was blatantly filled with cans too. The Samsara team did not want to bully him, so they did not take advantage of his supplies. But since he didn’t know any better… no one would tolerate him.

As they were talking, someone from the Samsara team walked over. After seeing He Zizhong and Fang Hao’s faces, he suddenly asked: “You… Did you drive a **** brand SUV? There was someone on the **** highway last time blocking the road…”¹The **** are in the raws. They might pop up time to time and either represent a name/brand placeholder or censored word.

He Zizhong nodded, recognizing him as the boss of the Samsara team. “Yes, it was the time when a telephone pole was used to block the road.”

The man smiled and stretched out his hand: “Guo Bing, from the Samsara team.”

“He Zizhong, Fang Hao. We act together.” He Zizhong didn’t share the name of their team. The team logo os also printed and worn on his arm anyway. But one- and two-person teams are equivalent to scattered people compared to larger teams, and no one will deliberately remember the name.

“Do you also know them?” Guo Bing looked at Shen Haiping.

“Yes, remember what we said before? If it weren’t for them, we would have died when we met the mutant bear last time.” Shen Haiping didn’t directly explain. Guo Bing has seen their strength and heard Shen Haiping’s story before. “No wonder. Are you interested in cooperating? We are going to the Binhai District of City F, mission 28. There is a batch of things we must get this time. If you are interested, we can discuss in detail.”

“No. 28?” He Zizhong raised his eyebrows. The coastal area of ​​city F is still some distance away from the urban area of ​​city F, and took at least 40 minutes by high-speed rail before the end of the world. But there is a pier, and all kinds of goods are transferred there. The gains will definitely not be less, but the danger would also be great. “Let’s see the mission first.”

“Naturally, you read it first.”

Xu Lili watched another person approach, and in a few words led He Zizhong to the mission computer. She couldn’t help but follow them in a hurry.

“This is?” Guo Bing raised an eyebrow and glanced at Xu Lili.

“I, I am his cousin.” Xu Lili quickly pointed to He Zizhong and explained.

He Zizhong turned his head and said, “Go back first. Captain Guo and I are acquaintances. The mission of your team should be set soon.”

Xu Lili stared with anger. Although she was far away and didn’t hear anything they said, the surname Guo obviously arrived later! What acquaintance?! But her usual relationship with He Zizhong is not that good. If Allen didn’t have the intention to accept them just now, she wouldn’t be pestering them now. Really, what did he take her as?!²T/N: An annoying bitch with no self-awareness. Duh?

Thinking about it, she sneered: “Hmph, be careful so as to not finish the task, and lose your head!” Turning around, she walked in the direction where Allen was.

“The Overlord team?” Guo Bing rubbed his chin and looked at the direction Xu Lili was heading.

“Yes, have you ever dealt with them?” He Zizhong asked casually.

Guo Bing shook his head: “No, I heard that their boss’s ass was asking for a high price. At that time, I was not interested in his whole face, so I didn’t deal with it.”³Yes, it was “ass” or “butt” in the raws; meant as an insult.

Fang Hao couldn’t help laughing out “pu-chi”.

He Zizhong also hooked his lips, and brought Fang Hao with him to check the computer together. Someone who can say such words is definitely not straight. At the very least, he’s bisexual, so he must protect his wife.

The goal of the 28th mission is a cold storage unit at the dock, which contains a certain brand of imported medicine. These are special medicines that cannot be produced in China, and are now out of stock, which is why such a mission is ranked in the top 50.

After confirming this task, He Zizhong had a plan. He turned around and suggested to Guo Bing: “This task is a bit interesting, let’s talk about it in detail?” His goal is not these containers full of medicines, but the possibility of other good things, such as cars.

Guo Bing smiled and nodded and made an inviting gesture. Several other members of the Samsara team also followed, and the group left the mission hall and walked to a high-rise building not far away.

To He Zizhong and Fang Hao’s surprise, Guo Bing did not dawdle or use any fancy rhetoric to test them after arriving at the team’s residence. Instead, he straightforwardly shared the actual goal of their mission – “guns and weapons.”

He Zizhong was stunned. Fang Hao couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He had heard of people smuggling these things, but he had never heard it so blatantly talked about. Of course, it might have been because of the apocalypse that such words were said.

“The warehouse was where we had business dealings before the apocalypse. We keep some things in there,  some things in it before, and we were in a hurry after the apocalypse. The road was very dangerous before, and it was inconvenient to escape and send people to the base. I deliberately left these things. Now that things have stabilized, they can’t be left alone.” Guo Bing said and lit a cigarette. “We’re not the only ones who know, so this time I can only try my luck and hope someone else hasn’t fetched them yet. But once things are done, we will give you 10% of those arms as your reward.”

He Zizhong raised his eyebrows: “We only have two people. 10%… you can’t explain that to your brothers, right?”

Guo Bing laughed: “Let’s not twist words around and be blunt. You two should have abilities? Last time we met on the road, and then you saved Shen Haiping and Liu Jiangfeng. Although we don’t know the specific circumstances, it’s clear your strength should be good. This time we originally did not have complete confidence, and there is no guarantee that those things are still there, but if we can get it smoothly, the weapons will be your reward. In addition, along the way, what everyone collects together is distributed according to work, and what one finds and collects is considered their own, how about?”

He Zizhong raised his chin and nodded: “Yes.” In any case, even if they could not find guns at the Binhai Wharf, they would not return empty-handed. What’s more, He Zizhong still remembered that there might be some things he wanted from there.

After the two negotiated the terms, they simply signed an agreement that included most of what the two said just now. After signing the agreement, the tension in the room relaxed.

Fang Hao took advantage of putting the documents into the bag and put the signed contract into the space. He Zizhong and Guo Bing turned to chat.

“Most of our team are veterans, there are not many ability users. Those things outside are really disgusting, otherwise we wouldn’t have to go so far to collect things when the outside is so chaotic.” Although most of the people in their team are good at close combat, how can they use close combat with zombies? That’s too disgusting! Even someone with tough nerves can’t stand it for a long time.

“As long as the things are not taken away in advance, it is still easy to handle. The question is whether your car has enough space? Can you bring it back if there are too many things?”

“Don’t worry, there is a **** company parking lot nearby. They are all good cars that have just been imported. We can pick a few cars there, so those things will definitely be transported away.”

He Zizhong nodded. He was also thinking about the cars there, but was not sure if they could be driven away. Who knew where the key was, and a car couldn’t be driven without gas.

After a while, the vice captain of Samsara came back with two people: “The mission is over.” As he said, he glanced in the direction where the pair of He Zizhong and Fang Hao were. He heard that his boss had brought two ability users back, and it seemed that it should be the two of them.

“There is no other team to take on this task, right?”

“No, this task is too far, and the gasoline may not be enough.” He spoke as he handed the things in his hands to Guo Bing.

Nowadays, there are two ways for each team to accept the task, one is to take their own team to do it, and the other is to share a task. A team can share a task again after taking it. After completing the task, all teams that participated in the task will get a certain amount of points. This time, they chose the latter option. After handing the shared copy to He Zizhong, Guo Bing asked casually: “Are there any teams over there that have taken over the high-level tasks?”

“When we left, Overlord took over the 17th mission. Starry Sky and two small teams with only a few people are prepared to act with them.”

“Mission 17?” Guo Bing tilted his head and thought. “I seem to remember hearing their team has received a plant ability user? I am afraid they are aimed at the seed shop near this task.”

“Seed shop?” He Zizhong raised his eyebrows again. This thing is more useful, but it is a pity that most plants cannot be planted. Many seeds placed outside are dead and rotted over time. The rate of decay is much faster than before the apocalypse. Even those with plant abilities are helpless, and can only grow those materials that can adapt to the end of times. Unless there is someone with a space ability who cooperates to take in harvested seeds immediately, so they are not exposed.

“Interested?” Guo Bing looked at him with a smile.

He Zizhong shook his head. “Even if there are some local species, I don’t have time to take care of them. Why not earn some points and go directly to the base to exchange food.” After saying goodbye to them, “Tomorrow morning, right? We need to go back and prepare.”

“Okay, let’s meet down here tomorrow morning.”

After the pair left, Chen Ning, the deputy captain, asked: “Are you sure about them?”

“Remember when we were stopped by a telephone pole before we came to City A? They broke it.”

“It’s them?” Chen Ning was stunned. He didn’t see the appearance of the two in the car at the time, only that it was a black SUV.

“Yes, Haiping and Liu Jiangfeng were also rescued by them.”
