Chapter 13: Return to the Last Days

After separating from Sun Ye, Zhang Yuntian was not in a hurry to return to the end of the world, anyway, the time over there was still, no matter when he went back, it was the same, so he returned to his residence leisurely, made a list of the items to be purchased, and went to bed early.

The next day, Zhang Yuntian began a frenzied purchase.

With the experience of instant noodles last time, this time he no longer bought those foods that were not easy to unpack, but bought some canned meat, rice and white noodles, as well as some condiments, antibiotics and medicines are also essential.

Then I went to the hardware store and bought a few axes and hammers for self-defense.

Since the outer packaging of rice and white noodles has the production date and place of origin, as soon as he returned home, Zhang Yuntian began to take out the rice and white noodles, put them into the large basins prepared in advance, and stored them in the empty warehouse.

In the same way, the condiments and canned meat were also taken out and placed in different lunch boxes.

When this qiē was ready to stop, Zhang Yuntian gently turned the ring and returned to the apocalyptic plane.

Jumping from daylight to midnight all at once, he was still a little uncomfortable, but as his emotional memories were re-covered, he quickly integrated into the rhythm of life here.

Zhang Yuntian closed the door tightly and locked it, and then began to take out some of the rice and white flour and stuff them under the bed and into the cabinet.

Although these things don't take up much space in the void warehouse, it is very troublesome to take them out, if someone finds out that they take out dozens of catties of rice out of thin air, or take out twenty catties of white flour from that shriveled backpack, it is difficult to explain it clearly, so he came up with such a way to hide the food in advance.

In the future, if someone asks about it, they will say that they took it out of the hideout, anyway, the surveillance in the city has already become an ornament, even if someone suspects, they can't find evidence!

After all the qiē was dealt with, Zhang Yunfei lay on the bed and fell asleep leisurely.

Early the next morning, he was woken up by a knock on the door, and outside the door stood Xiaomei, who Gu Hongbo had introduced last night, and she said with a panicked expression: "Teacher Zhang, the master invites you to come over"

Zhang Yuntian was confused, could it be that something big had happened? Why do you look flustered early in the morning?

Xiaolan stood aside with the same puzzled expression, she lived with her last night, and naturally she didn't know what happened.

As soon as he got out of the unit building, Zhang Yuntian smelled a burning smell, and the whole air was very turbid, just like walking on the burned grass, and the people he met on the road were also worried, as if some catastrophe was coming.

He followed Xiaomei into the villa, Gu Hongbo and Gu Wanting were sitting in the hall, the father and daughter looked pale, especially Gu Hongbo, who seemed to have suddenly aged a lot overnight, and there was a lot of gray hair on his sideburns.

"Master, Miss, Teacher Zhang is here!" Xiaomei bowed.

"Got it, you go down!" Gu Hongbo waved his hand a little tiredly, and then motioned for Zhang Yuntian to sit next to him.

"Teacher Zhang, although you and I don't have a deep relationship, but I can see that you are a person with a lot of background, and you can survive in the territory of zombies outside for eight years, and you definitely have something outstanding.

Zhang Yuntian's face was full of confusion, he bought himself back from the auction house yesterday, held a banquet to entertain him, and restored his status as a civilian, why did he come to a great disaster in the blink of an eye? Could it be that the tide of corpses is coming?

Thinking of the tide of corpses, Zhang Yuntian couldn't help but shudder, if that is the case, it is a fluke that he is alive, how can he still have the ability to accept any entrustment?

"Thanks to District Chief Gu's kindness, but I'm just a survivor who fled everywhere and barely survived, and it was not easy for me to survive, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to take refuge, let alone be entrusted with anything!"

Before Gu Hongbo could speak, he was rejected by Zhang Yuntian, thinking that he knew the truth, so he couldn't help but snort coldly, "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be a coward, just because I was blind, I would actually recruit you in, and I only pity my daughter."

Gu Wanting's eyes were also red, and she cried.

Zhang Yuntian was stunned for a moment, "What pity your daughter?" What does it have to do with Gu Wanting? If it's really a tide of corpses, let's run quickly, do you still want to stay here and resist? ”

Gu Hongbo was also stunned, "What corpse tide?" I'm talking about the quarterly tax! Last night there was a fire in the warehouse where we stored wild vegetables, and the harvest of the last quarter was burned, and the tax collector was already on the way, and in a few days he would be here, and if we could not pay the taxes, we would have to be stripped of the status of the nobles, and even reduced to slavery. I'm so old, it's nothing, but Wanting is only sixteen."

Although he didn't say it all, he could guess that a sixteen-year-old little girl with a beautiful face and moon appearance was bought by other rich people as a slave, and she would inevitably suffer a lot of humiliation.

"Oh, that's it." Zhang Yuntian was relieved, he was just about to say that he had gotten some food, maybe he could replace the quarterly tax, but before the words could be spoken, Xiaomei suddenly hurriedly walked in, "Master, District Chief Ding is here!" ”

Gu Hongbo's face sank, "The weasel greets the chicken, he is quite well-informed, as soon as my warehouse caught fire, he rushed here, I think this matter is indispensable to his involvement!" No, no, no! ”

"Yo, District Chief Gu is so angry, be careful and hurt your body, in case you always have three longs and two shorts, just rely on Sister Gu alone, you can't support such a big family business!" A young man in his twenties walked in with a smile, followed by two bodyguards with black masks,

"Oh, look at my memory, I heard that your warehouse here is on fire, I'm afraid that in a few days, Sister Gu will have to be demoted to a slave, and then there will be no family business!"

The person who came was Ding Hao, the nephew of the tax officer at the city gate, and after the cold woman went back that day, she tried the instant noodles and found that it was really fresh food, so she was even more anxious to urge the tax officer to find out Zhang Yuntian, and the tax officer scolded Ding Hao again, and sent additional people to inspect everywhere.

Although Ding Hao is submissive on the surface, he has his own little abacus in his heart, even if he finds the mysterious person with instant noodles, he will definitely not hand it over to his uncle, as long as the deadline passes, he will definitely be punished, at least the position of the tax official cannot be kept, then according to the order, this position is likely to be replaced by himself, so he pretended to be in a hurry to find it, but in fact it was just perfunctory.

Although Zhang Yuntian didn't know Ding Hao, he just couldn't get used to seeing this kind of villain who fell into the well, he wanted to open his mouth to reason with him, but Gu Hongbo, as the main owner, hadn't spoken yet, of course he couldn't take the lead, so he could only watch from the sidelines.

"How is our Gu family, it's not District Mayor Ding's turn to worry about, if there is nothing else, please go back! I'm hosting a guest here!" Gu Hongbo's attitude was very cold, and the fool also knew that he had given the order to expel the guest.

"Distinguished guests? Haha, District Chief Gu, don't be kidding, this kid looks at Miansheng, can't he be the slave you just bought, right? Ding Hao sat on the sofa with a dead face, crossed Erlang's legs, and said with a smile:

"District Chief Gu, you must think that I came to see the excitement, if you think so, then you really have the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman, I am here to help this time!"

Gu Hongbo snorted coldly, "Gentleman? You? No kidding! Did you come to tell me that cross talk was coming this morning? ”

Ding Hao was not angry, and said slowly: "If I help you pay the quarterly tax, how can you thank me?" ”

Gu Hongbo was stunned, looking at Ding Hao as if he was looking at an alien creature, "You have such a good heart?" That's a tax worth 500 nutritional mixtures, will you pay it for me? What exactly are your plots? ”

"Oh, District Chief Gu is really joking, I am such a kind and charitable person, what conspiracy can I have, I will not only help you pay this quarterly tax, but when your harvest is not good in the future, I will come to help you, and I will also give you a fast son-in-law, what do you think?"

Gu Wanting glanced at Ding Hao with disdain, "Are you also worthy of marrying me?" Let's take care of the six wives in the family first! ”

"Eh~ You can't say that, they're just playthings to me, I'm only sincere to Wanting! This time, Ming Media is getting married, what are you not satisfied with? ”

Later, Zhang Yuntian knew why the Gu family had no good impression of Ding Hao, it turned out that this guy relied on his father to be the district president, often bullied men and women, and once coerced Gu Hongbo and wanted to have a relationship with Gu Wanting, and then the public was angry, Ding Hao's father had to order Ding Hao to marry all the girls he had violated, even so, his lustful personality still did not change, and he often brought some fox friends home to do something together.

This time he used the excuse to marry Gu Wanting, completely because he has coveted it for a long time, and five hundred nutritional mixtures for a flower-like wife, this price is indeed not expensive, if it really falls into the auction market, I am afraid that it is impossible to win it without a thousand.

"You have also seen Wanting's attitude, this matter is completely impossible, even if you say it, I will not agree, not to mention" Gu Hongbo glanced at Zhang Yuntian, "This distinguished guest is the boyfriend of the little girl, he will take Wanting out of here and go to a safer place, so you don't have to worry about it!" ”

Zhang Yuntian suddenly realized that Gu Hongbo was worried that Gu Wanting would be hurt, so he wanted to ask himself to take her away to avoid the tragic end of becoming a slave.

Ding Haohuo stood up and changed his grim expression, "Hmph, surnamed Gu, since you are so ignorant of current affairs, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless, I am afraid that the tax collector will have a tiring journey, so I specially sent someone to take a shortcut to bring him over, so let's start collecting taxes from your house first!" ”
