Chapter 90 Gundam Harvest: Skill Supermarket!

Chapter 90 Gundam Harvest: Skill Supermarket! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At this moment, inside the 18-times-used Toyota, there were two corpses in the trunk, three corpses in the back seat, and even one in the passenger seat.

There's really no room left to store it.

Moreover, because of the previous cleanup of the bodies in the underground alley, only two body bags remained; the other four bodies were all wrapped in large black garbage bags.

Another rather obese body, because it was sitting in the passenger seat, was transported without even being wrapped in a bag; it was simply positioned in a supine sleeping position, fastened with a seatbelt, and brought over.

"God—how many people have died?" Old Will exclaimed in shock.

He then sighed and said, "The news reports so far are still saying only one person has died—"

David laughed and said, "My dear old Will, have you forgotten that we homeless people aren't considered people and aren't included in the statistics?"

"When Mike and I drove over, we realized we were a bit too late. The flooded area was in complete chaos. Ambulances were blocking the roads, and body collectors from all over Seattle had come. The police shot and killed a guy who was trying to commit suicide because his house was destroyed, and the body was taken away immediately."

"I thought I would pass by empty-handed this time, but I didn't expect to pass by a homeless camp - I've known about this camp for a long time, it's near the river embankment, and it seems that no one notified them to evacuate."

"All the tents were soaked in water. Some of the homeless people were already in a dazed state after taking a lot of stimulants, and they couldn't move when the flood came. If there wasn't so much room, I could have packed two more tents."

Just from David's description, everyone could basically imagine what a hellish scene it must have been.

Mike sighed and continued, "Many families' houses have been destroyed. I think these people are all gone. It reminds me of the fire when my house burned down. I had insurance back then, but most of the people affected this time didn't have insurance at all."

"I used to work as an insurance specialist, so I know this area quite well. Unlike the hurricane zones in the eastern United States, the overall water insurance coverage rate in Washington State, even in flood-prone areas, is less than three percent. Most homes do not have water insurance under their regular commercial insurance policies, so basically if your house is flooded in one flood, it's all gone."

Wayne nodded.

It seems that the couple with the child he encountered earlier were alright.

Although their insurance claims may take two or three years to be settled, at least they still have insurance.

Most families without insurance will have to pay for everything out of pocket.

Basically, after this flood, many people will fall below the death penalty threshold.

The homeless people present also thought about their own experiences. Most of them had once had a normal job, a warm family, and a house that may not be big but was comfortable and warm.

At this moment, they couldn't help but reveal a sorrowful expression, as if the rabbit were dying and the fox was mourning.

Wayne nodded and grabbed the hand of the corpse in the passenger seat.

You have acquired the skill: Drain Cleaning (Beginner)

He then grasped the hands of the five corpses in the back seat and trunk, making a praying gesture.

You have acquired the skill: Pastry Making (Beginner)

You have acquired the skill: Real Estate Sales (Intermediate)

You have acquired the skill: Rugby (Beginner)

The last two bodies were arranged in a typical American triple fold, the stiff corpses curled up in the trunk like two cubes.

There was no notification after touching it, which means it must have died long before the flood.

The deep purple, rotting wounds on the corpse were clearly caused by toluenethiazide.

Both bodies died from the enhancement agent.

The fact that they died from an overdose of the enhancer before being drowned by the flood left people wondering whether to call them unlucky or lucky.

Wayne sighed and said, "Let's go, let's deliver the goods."

After greeting Old Will and the others, Wayne and David climbed into the back of the 18-year-old Toyota, squeezing between three hardened corpses, and headed towards St. Mary's Biotechnology Company.

Today is a bountiful day for corpse collectors throughout the city, and for Wayne, it's also a bountiful day for acquiring skills.

It's not easy to encounter so many violently murdered corpses all at once on a normal day.

Whether he can break through his skills again depends on today.

When they arrived at the backyard of St. Mary's Biotechnology Company, they found it in complete chaos.

There were four or five hearses parked in the backyard, and one that had clearly just finished a delivery was honking its horn and speeding out of the backyard toward the disaster area.

Charlotte, the head of the mortuary project, was standing at the back door, smoking a cigarette, talking to a body collector wearing a mask and gloves.

Seeing Wayne and his crew's used Toyota pull up, Charlotte rushed over and said, "Mr. Wayne, I was wondering why you hadn't arrived yet—damn it! Did you drown all these people here?! How come there are so many?! Don't tell me the gentleman in the passenger seat was one too—"

Other body collectors usually collect one body at a time, and at most send two bodies over, which is already considered good.

After all, although there were many corpses today, there were also many people who went to seize the goods.

Several of the affected areas are middle-class communities, and there are many high-quality goods in these communities that have not been treated with additives.

Moreover, not all bereaved families sell their loved ones' bodies; many still want to give their family members a peaceful funeral.

Watching Wayne and David climb out of the car and carry the body off the back seat, Charlotte took a deep drag on her cigarette.

When she saw Wayne open the trunk, revealing two American-style tri-fold folding sedans inside, she couldn't help but curse again: "Damn it, are you guys a fucking trio of serial killers?"

The bodies Wayne and his men brought weren't four, they brought six!

Wayne smiled slightly and said, "My brother David is rather—talented—in this job."

David immediately put on a proud and self-satisfied look, raised his fist and pounded his chest.

Charlotte smiled and said, "I like this talent."

Wayne sighed, his face filled with sorrow, and said, "How many bodies are inside now? This disaster is truly heartbreaking. I will pray for each of these victims."

Charlotte nodded and said, "There are now 10 corpses inside, Mr. Wayne. I understand how you feel. Being a corpse collector is a profession that involves facing death every day. Some of us corpse collectors have developed some strange fetishes—"

"I still have a lot of things to take care of right now. Please take the body inside. My assistant, Catherine, will settle the bill for you. As for praying for the victims—you can do as you please."

Just then, Charlotte's phone rang. She gestured to Wayne and the others and immediately went to answer the call.

Having just finished an auction of remains, with many follow-up tasks still pending, and then the floods causing a surge in bodies, she was utterly overwhelmed and starting to get a headache.

I need to take painkillers and sleeping pills before I go to sleep tonight.

Wayne and his two companions were already very familiar with this procedure. They found several mobile beds in the company building, moved the body onto them, and then pushed it into the morgue like a long dragon.

A familiar figure was carrying a body into a morgue, sighing with a worried expression as he moved the body.

"Hey, Wayne, bro!" The other person smiled and came over with a fist as soon as he saw Wayne.

Wayne bumped fists with the other man and said, "Alex, how's your day, bro?"

It was Alex, the University of Tokyo student who introduced Wayne to the profession and a body collector.

"Sigh—" Alex sighed and said with a wry smile, "It's alright, you know, the floods, the corpses are overflowing—you've got a huge harvest, Wayne brother."

Alex was taken aback when he saw the six corpses Wayne and his men had brought in.

Wayne sighed and said, "It's a camp for homeless people, not far down the riverbank—"

"By the way, Alex, you said someone was trying to cause you trouble. How's that going?"

Alex smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, brother. Fortunately, I was well prepared and made several fake identities, so those people can't find me yet. Besides, I have some friends who are helping me."

Wayne nodded and said solemnly, "If you encounter any danger, remember to contact me immediately."

"I will," Alex said with a smile.

He had already stuffed the body into the morgue and then said goodbye to Wayne, "See you later, brother Wayne. I have to go back and cook for the professor. You know my studies."

After Alex left, only Wayne and his two companions remained in the morgue. Wayne immediately said, "Let's begin."

Mike and David already understood their brother's meaning, so they immediately opened all the morgue cabinets containing the bodies, revealing the ten corpses inside, and then went to the door to keep watch for Wayne.

Although I don't know if my brother is trying to pray for blessings or what, playing with corpses is his hobby, and this little hobby must be satisfied.

After all, being a corpse collector is a tough job that can easily lower your sanity level, so having some hobbies can help reduce mental stress.

I understand.

What man doesn't have some hobbies?

There were no outsiders in the morgue at the moment, so Wayne strolled leisurely past the rows of mortuary cabinets and reached out to touch the foreheads of the corpses.

Sure enough, these were all fresh corpses, each one having died no more than twenty-four hours ago!

Moreover, judging from their skin and appearance, they all come from middle-class communities.
