The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1274 Brother advises you not to go looking for trouble.

"Sister Pingping, why are you pulling up someone's pants...?"

As Pingping used her fingers to lift up the severed trouser leg and shone the flashlight inside, her appearance was somewhat lewd.

"Let's confirm the gender! Poor thing, he's good-looking and so strong, look at those muscles, hey..."

"Hey, Pingping, if we want leather jackets, we should at least take them off when we get back. What kind of nonsense is it to carry a naked man back to camp?"

Xiao Wei looked at her money-grubbing and lustful companion with a strange expression, and instantly felt that working on Fugui Street was a good choice for her, and that she would probably thrive there very soon.

"I was just worried that when we got back, the guards would take something from us. This is a leather jacket, not like the ones we're wearing... Right, they can just give us a change, I'm so smart!"

Pingping had a sudden inspiration and immediately came up with a good idea. She did just that, taking off the leather jacket from the man on the ground and finding a nice undershirt underneath, which she also removed.

He took off his own clothes, shivering from the cold but not caring. He did a cool and efficient job. When it comes to money, he not only has high intelligence but also full of action!
"Xiaowei, look at this cotton undershirt. It's from a good brand and it's still very new! This leather jacket is poorly made and doesn't feel very nice to the touch, but it's quite comfortable to wear. It'll definitely fetch a good price."

Pingping looked left and right, and felt it was quite good.

"Sister Pingping, you're not going to keep it for yourself and not sell it, are you?"

Xiao Wei was a little suspicious when she saw Pingping's appearance.

"Hey, Xiaowei, you can doubt me about anything, but not this. First, this leather jacket is really ugly. Second, I need money urgently right now, so don't worry, your sister Ping keeps her word and will never ruin her reputation!"

Pingping was very bothered by Xiaowei's suspicions.

In the post-apocalyptic world, deceit and treachery are rampant, making one's reputation all the more precious. If one's reputation is ruined in the camp, no one will be willing to trust them anymore, making every step difficult!

Xiao Wei nodded, then looked at the strangely dressed man on the ground, and asked, both amused and exasperated, "Sister Pingping, should we continue looking for the corpse charcoal, or go back?"

"Let's see if we can wake him up."

Pingping squatted down, grabbed some snow, and patted it onto the man's face, like applying skin lotion. As she did so, she said, "This guy is definitely not a savage. His skin is strangely good, it looks even more delicate than ours. And you know what, the young man is quite good-looking!"

After saying that, she took off her gloves and touched the man's face, nodding with a strange expression, like a rich woman listening to her young master sing in a karaoke bar.

"Don't worry about it too much for now. He'll know everything when he wakes up, but it seems like he won't wake up."

Xiao Wei found a thin twig in the snow and gently stuck it into the man's nostril to tickle him.

"It's a miracle we're alive. Being unconscious is a form of protection. Let's leave it at that. But we can't go back yet. Let's find the other leg first. Come on, tie it up so it doesn't turn into a zombie and bite us after it dies!"

Pingping hadn't forgotten about the leather boots. She took out a rope and tied it up for the man, then, with a flashlight and snow poles in hand, she searched the surrounding area.

Xiao Wei naturally wouldn't be idle either, and she joined in the search in the snow.

The snow was deep, but the two persevered, searching everywhere...

"Didn't find it. Sigh, it probably escaped here. We only found some bloodstains. How frustrating!"

A moment later, Pingping returned to the injured man's side empty-handed.

"I found something interesting. Look, isn't this nail polish?" Xiaowei opened her palm, revealing a delicate glass bottle lying in her hand.

"Wow, this is so vintage! I haven't seen such an old-fashioned nail polish bottle in ages. I remember when I was in high school, they sold them outside the school gate for three yuan a bottle and five yuan for two. But what's inside..."

Pingping picked up the glass bottle and shook it. The liquid inside was somewhat viscous and transparent.

"A bright nail polish? Sniff... What's this scent? I've never smelled it before."

Not quite sure what was going on, she opened it and smelled it. There was no pungent smell of inferior chemicals; instead, it had an unfamiliar fragrance that she couldn't say she liked or disliked.

Can this be exchanged for money?

Xiao Wei asked.

Pingping screwed the cap on and pouted, "One silver coupon can be exchanged for a set of five-color lipsticks. Cosmetics are only needed by the sisters on Fugui Street, they're not worth much. You can keep them. I like colored nail polish."

After saying that, Pingping returned the nail polish bottle to Xiaowei.

Xiao Wei didn't mind at all. She carefully lifted her coat and put the man into the pocket of her inner clothes. Then, she and Pingping carried the man one after the other towards the camp.

The camp's perimeter wall is a mixed bag, with some areas made of wooden planks, others of sheet metal, and still others of concrete bricks. It is about four meters high but extends for an unknown distance, with a dim streetlamp every so often.

The walls, which don't look very grand and are even a bit rough, enclose a safe zone that provides shelter for the survivors. The entire camp covers a very large area!
"Great, the shift has changed, it's Tiger on duty! Quick, Xiaowei, let's go."

Pingping told Xiaowei to wait at a distance while she secretly approached the camp to investigate and discovered that the gatekeeper was an acquaintance.

"Brother Tiger, Fan Mengping and He Qinwei from District Three have returned from searching for corpse charcoal!"

Pingping and Xiaowei arrived at Gate 13 and greeted the guards very warmly. She had an unusual relationship with Brother Hu and was overjoyed to know that he was the gatekeeper.

"Hey, Pingping, you two are lucky, you found... wait, this looks like a human corpse, doesn't it?"

The man, dressed in a thick cotton coat, looked very strong. He had a coin-sized scar on his face. The two thought they had found a complete zombie corpse. But when they shone a torch on it, they found that the skin color and condition were wrong. How could his wrists and ankles still move?
"Brother Tiger, this isn't a zombie, nor is it a human corpse. It's an injured survivor. Look, he's still breathing!"

With a broad smile, Fan Mengping turned the unconscious man to the side so that Brother Hu could see him clearly.

"Hmm, it's still breathing. Where did you find it? Ha, it's disabled!"

Tiger looked at it carefully and asked casually.

"It's about a kilometer away, buried in the snow. It must have come over during those snowy days. It's very resilient; it didn't freeze to death." Fan Mengping didn't dare to hide anything and was very frank.

"Brother Tiger, you'd better take back what you just said. Your luck is absolutely terrible! You two are the ones who have to take full responsibility for the disabled survivors!"

Don't blame me for not warning you, this is just asking for trouble. Listen to me, stab him in the neck, wait for him to turn into a zombie, then kill him. Replace the charcoal with a hundred pounds, that'll last half a month!

Tiger Brother pointed a sharp look at the man's neck and gestured.

Objectively speaking, the plan was flawless. Pingping, who had already switched the leather jacket, thought it was fantastic and turned to look at He Qinwei.
