The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 354: The Frightened Cai Zhi

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?"

"I am a manager of the plantation. I am a manager. You can't do this. Let me go. Let me go."

"Help! Someone is killing me! Help!"

"I want to see Sister Li, I want to see Miss Song, let me go, let me go!"

Zhou Lan screamed in panic and even lay on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

He kicked and kicked with his hands and feet, trying to delay time.

Yang Wei sneered, took a step forward, and slapped him directly.

"Snapped--"

He was a speed-type mutant, and the slap made Zhou Lan unable to react at all, and half of her face swelled up instantly.

In an instant, Zhou Lan let out a scream, and then infinite fear surged in her heart.

More than two months of peaceful life in Yangshan Shelter made her almost forget what kind of world this was.

It also made her forget how terrifying the psychics were when she was struggling to survive in Midu Garden.

She thought she had infiltrated the management of Yangshan Shelter, and her mentality changed, and she became complacent.

This slap woke her up immediately!
Yang Wei looked at her coldly: "Old thing, Mr. Liang personally ordered you to be arrested, and you still dare to scream?"

Zhou Lan's whole body suddenly began to tremble as if being sieved.

Her face was pale, she looked at Yang Wei, and said in horror: "Liang, Mr. Liang's order?"

At this moment, her head buzzed and she was completely frightened.

How could the high and mighty Mr. Liang notice me?

"take away!"

Yang Wei ignored the old man and waved his hand. Immediately, two patrol members came forward, lifted him up, and dragged him out of the plantation greenhouse.

When they left, the whole plantation suddenly started talking about it.

"Mr. Liang has ordered the arrest of Zhou?"

"When did Mr. Liang come back?"

"Oh, you caught her well. This Zhou girl relied on her ability to grow vegetables and Aunt Li's favor to her, so she became arrogant and domineering, bullying newcomers and fawning on Miss Song and Aunt Li. I have long been fed up with her."

"Why do you think Mr. Liang ordered her arrest?"

"I think I know something."

"What news?"

"Say it quickly."

"A while ago, I saw someone come to the plantation to investigate some matters. It seemed that someone mentioned Zhou Lan selling vegetables from the plantation."

"What! She's selling vegetables?"

"When did it happen? How come we didn't know about it?"

"Why don't you just ask Xiao Qin?"

Suddenly, many people looked at Qin Xinran who was stunned.

At this moment, Qin Xinran's face was also pale and his whole body was trembling.

She suddenly remembered that a while ago a young girl came to the plantation and asked around about Zhou Lan. It was she who mentioned to her that Zhou Lan was the manager who had been delivering vegetables to the canteen.

……

Meanwhile, the slaughterhouse.

Cai Zhi was drinking tea in the office while looking at this month's report.

Soon he frowned and looked up at Yu Mingxi beside him.

"Old Yu, why is the production of red meat and white meat so much less this month than last month?"

Yu Mingxi was in his fifties and had a bald head. He smiled and said, "Manager Cai, you know, during the few days when Mr. Liang was gone, we didn't dare to deal with the mutant creatures we caught. We were waiting for Mr. Liang to come back and kill them."

"This part of red and white meat has not been taken into account, so it is naturally much less than last month."

Cai Zhi was somewhat surprised when he heard this and said, "Is that so? No wonder."

"Then please sign and I will file it." Yu Mingxi said with a smile.

Cai Zhi nodded, without thinking too much, he quickly signed his name and handed it over.

Yu Mingxi heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the report, and took out a few magical stones from his pocket, saying with a smile: "Manager Cai, my son made a small fortune in the mining area a while ago. The tide is coming soon, and every household needs to prepare talisman stones such as stone lingjia."

"I don't have enough points, so I'd like to trouble you to buy some for me. These power stones are my reward. Please help me."

Cai Zhi looked at these power stones and couldn't help laughing. He said, "Old Yu, why don't you just use the power stones to exchange for points?"

Yu Mingxi smiled and said, "I'm just worried that it will delay the work of our slaughterhouse."

Cai Zhi smiled and accepted the power stone. He knew that this was his subordinates' way of bribing him.

The purchase price of power stones in the shopping mall is different from that in the talisman shop.

The bid from the talisman shop will be higher. After all, the talisman shop can make talismans and has a certain profit margin.

But if you sell it directly to shopping mall buyers, you will lose money.

In addition, as the number of people with special abilities increases, some people in the shelter have reached a mental strength of more than 25 points and are able to make talismans by themselves.

These people don’t have money to open a store, so they can only purchase power stones privately, then make talisman stones and sell them.

However, these are all private transactions, so the price they pay for the talismans is higher than that of regular stores.

Although the profit is a little less, it is still better than mining all day.

All in all, there is a lot of room for fluctuation in the price of power stones out there.

This is how Yu Mingxi makes a profit from the price difference.

This way of giving gifts is still very covert, and is more acceptable to Cai Zhi.

As for not charging any fee at all, that is a bit unrealistic.

This is how the society is based on favors. If you don't accept gifts, you'll be considered an outcast.

Yu Mingxi gave away the power stone and left the office with a smile on his face.

Zhang Youquan, who had been waiting outside, came over and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did you receive it?"

Yu Mingxi laughed and said, "Don't worry."

"He didn't ask anything on the report, right?" Zhang Youquan asked quickly.

Yu Mingxi smiled again: "I did ask why the red and white meat decreased."

"What did you say?"

"What else can I say? We'll just follow the previous plan. Fortunately, Mr. Liang is out. We've accumulated a lot of prey over the past few days, so we finally found an excuse."

"I'm telling you, you'd better think carefully before withholding red and white meat. If there is such a big gap again, I won't be able to cover it for you." Yu Mingxi warned.

Zhang Youquan chuckled and nodded quickly, saying, "This time the situation is special. With so many people in Meishan, the scale of our small black market has expanded a lot."

Yu Mingxi frowned: "This is not a solution. The supply of red and white meat from our slaughterhouse may not be enough."

Zhang Youquan smiled and said, "I have thought of a solution. I have been contacting Lao Du from the farm recently. Do you have time tomorrow? I would like to invite Lao Du to have dinner with me."

Yu Mingxi's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Okay, you've invited Lao Du out, okay, I'll go to the appointment tomorrow."

While the two were talking, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

A group of burly men rushed in.

Yang Wei strode in, his eyes cold and stern, scanning the office.

"What are you doing!"

Yu Mingxi's face changed and he immediately frowned and scolded the person who came.

After he entered the slaughterhouse and managed dozens of people, he actually developed an official air.

His face darkened, and he looked quite majestic.

Yang Wei ignored him, glanced at the list, and asked directly: "Yu Mingxi, Zhang Youquan, Miao Xiaoli, Zhou Hongjian, Wang Zilong."

"Those whose names are called, please stand up!"

In the office, many people looked at each other, and subconsciously looked at the people around them whose names were called.

Yu Mingxi, Zhang Youquan and others originally looked dignified and solemn.

When he heard these names, his face suddenly changed.

These people are all members of their small group and are key figures involved in black market operations, stealing meat from slaughterhouses, etc.

They had realized something and their faces gradually turned pale. Yu Mingxi's heart was pounding, and he asked quickly: "What is this gentleman's name? I am Yu Mingxi, what are you doing?"

Zhang Youquan also hurriedly said: "Sir, is there any misunderstanding here? Why don't we go out for a drink and sit down and talk about anything."

Yang Wei was serious and waved his hand: "Catch him!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you going to do!?"

Yu Mingxi screamed in haste and stepped back quickly.

Several patrol members were extremely fast and were all people with special abilities, so they were simply not something that ordinary people could resist.

Two figures flashed and directly grabbed Yu Mingxi and Zhang Youquan.

Everyone in the office was shocked.

Then suddenly a man rushed to the door and shouted, "It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me."

As soon as he rushed to the door, Yang Wei suddenly moved, and the next moment, he chopped the man's head with a knife.

With a bang, the man screamed "Ah", his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground.

This action immediately frightened everyone.

A girl suddenly screamed, which immediately alarmed Cai Zhi who was in the office.

Cai Zhi quickly opened the door and saw the patrol team outside. His expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly asked, "Everyone, everyone, what's going on?"

Yang Wei looked at the man and asked, "Who are you?"

Cai Zhi quickly introduced himself: "I am Cai Zhi, the manager of the slaughterhouse."

Hearing Cai Zhi's name, Yang Wei's expression eased and he said, "It turns out to be Manager Cai. I am Yang Wei, the captain of the second squad under Captain Wu Ying of the fourth squad."

Upon hearing this, Cai Zhi hurriedly smiled and said, "It turns out to be Captain Yang. I am also familiar with your Captain Wu Ying. Is there any misunderstanding here?"

Yang Wei shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Manager Cai, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding here. I am just following orders to arrest people."

Cai Zhi asked quickly, "Orders? Whose orders?"

"Mr. Liang gave me the list and the order himself."

"what!"

Cai Zhi's face suddenly changed, he was filled with surprise and was shocked.

He immediately turned around to look at Yu Mingxi and Zhang Youquan, and asked seriously, "What did you do? Why did you alarm Mr. Liang?"

Yu Mingxi and Zhang Youquan turned pale in an instant, their faces filled with fear.

Those whose names were called were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

Someone kept muttering, "It's over, it's over, Mr. Liang knows, it's all over..."

Yang Wei did not wait for them to ask, and said directly: "Manager Cai, I am going to take people away. Before leaving, Mr. Liang said that if anyone wants to ask for mercy, they should go to him in person."

Cai Zhi's pupils suddenly shrank and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He felt that this matter might be extremely complicated, otherwise Liang Yuan would not have said such words directly.

He said no more and let Yang Wei take the man away.

Yang Wei led his people out of the office. Before leaving, he paused for a moment and turned back to say, "By the way, Manager Cai, Mr. Liang has asked someone to notify all Yangshan managers to go to the Sunshine District for a meeting."

"These people will also be taken to the Sunshine District. If you have any questions, you will know everything when you get there."

Cai Zhi pursed his lips and nodded seriously: "Got it, thank you Captain Yang."

After watching Yang Wei leave, Cai Zhi immediately turned to look at the remaining people in the office and asked, "Does anyone know what happened?"

Everyone looked at each other, and many shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Suddenly a little girl raised her hand and shouted, "Manager, I, I know something."

"Hurry up and tell me." Cai Zhi asked hurriedly.

"I saw Wang Zilong and his men taking red and white meat out of the warehouse before, but they didn't follow the formal procedures. I don't know if it was because of this incident."

Cai Zhi was stunned and asked quickly: "What? Where did they take the red and white meat?"

The little girl shook her head: "I don't know either."

"Why didn't you report to me?" Cai Zhi asked angrily.

The girl quickly said, "I did report it, but Manager Yu later talked to me privately and said that this batch of meat had a special use and I was not allowed to say anything."

Cai Zhi's forehead veins suddenly throbbed and he wanted to curse.

But cursing was useless at this time, so he took a deep breath and said, "All management personnel must follow me to the Sunshine District immediately."

Everyone stood up quickly, no one dared to say anything, and followed Cai Zhi silently to the sunshine area.

……

Yangshan mining area.

This place is no longer the simple place it used to be.

Today, the mining area has developed into a town-like scale.

Outside the mining area, there are many wooden and bamboo houses, which are arranged in a row in an orderly manner.

There are more mines in the mining area than before, and many people come and go.

Some of these people were carrying bamboo baskets and holding iron pickaxes. They were covered in dust, but they looked excited, probably because they had gained something.

Some people walked slowly, with disappointed faces.

On the roadside of the market town, many women or elderly people set up stalls to sell drinks and other things, doing some small business.

At this time, a group of middle-aged people who had just walked out of the mining area were walking excitedly towards the town.

A young girl looked at this scene curiously and asked, "After they dug up the supernatural stones, why didn't they go to the complex to exchange them for points? Why did they run to Flint Town instead?"

This small town is called Flint Town because most of the stones dug out from this mining area are fire-attributed special stones, hence the name.

The old man next to the girl sneered: "What else can you do? If you dig up the supernatural stone, just go and gamble."

The girl was immediately surprised: "Bet? What bet?"

"Of course they are gambling for points. They are a bunch of gamblers. They have lost hope of living and are addicted to gambling, living in a daze."

"Uncle Ge, is there no one taking care of this?" the girl couldn't help but ask.

Uncle Ge shook his head slightly and said, "How can I care? This kind of thing is consensual, and no one forced them to gamble."

"Can you tell Mr. Liang and ask him to deal with it?" the girl asked.

Uncle Ge smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Liang manages the entire Yangshan Shelter. It is impossible for him to be involved in every detail."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Han Yatou and the others came back this time and said they want to invite us over. Let's go."

"Ah? Sister Xiangman is back?" The girl was overjoyed and quickly ran out.

Uncle Ge didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Girl, don't you know you are a speed-type mutant? Wait for me!"

The two walked towards Yangshan Shopping Center. Before they left Huoshi Town, they saw Wu Ying and a group of people coming to Huoshi Town with stern expressions.

Uncle Ge was immediately surprised, his eyes flickered, he stopped and asked, "Captain Wu Ying, where are you going?"

When Wu Ying saw the old man, he forced a smile on his serious face and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Ge. I am under the order of Mr. Liang to go to Huoshi Town to arrest someone."

Uncle Ge raised his eyebrows immediately: "Oh? Who do you need to catch? I am familiar with Huoshi Town and can help."

The girl also hurriedly said: "Mr. Liang wants to arrest someone? I will go too."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ying asked, "Does Mr. Ge know Lin Songyang?"

Uncle Ge frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "Lin Songyang?"

"It's Lin Laodao."

"I know!" the girl shouted immediately without waiting for Uncle Ge to answer.

"Who is this?" Wu Ying looked at the girl.

The girl said: "My name is Luo Qianqian, and I just awakened my superpowers not long ago."

Wu Ying suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he didn't recognize this girl. It turned out that she had just awakened.

"Do you know where he is?"

"Yeah, I know. He's in town. He looked at me with disgusting eyes before. Later, Uncle Ge scolded him. Uncle Ge, don't you remember? That stinky Taoist priest."

Uncle Ge suddenly realized: "Which old Taoist priest is pretending to be so?"

He didn't know that Taoist Lin's real name was Lin Songyang. Many people only knew that Lin Songyang was Taoist Lin.

"He is in the underground casino. I'll take you there." Uncle Ge said directly.

Then a group of people quickly rushed to Flint Town.
