In Zhang He's struggle, the tax officer unbuttoned his clothes, groped in his thin body for a while, and found the bag containing more than a dozen prawns and said proudly: "Stinky little ghost! If you want to deceive Lao Tzu's eyes, you are still a little tender. Because of your attempt to evade taxes, all these shrimps were confiscated. ”

"Give it back!! Give it back!! That's the shrimp I caught!! Zhang He's eyes were red and he roared loudly. Those shrimp are the key to their family's ability to survive for a few days, and without them, their family will starve again.

"! Don't be embarrassed! The tax officer's face sank, and he waved his hand, and the seven big men punched and kicked Zhang He.

Zhang He was just a child, and in that kind of punching and kicking, he was quickly beaten and injured, and then thrown into a corner.

"Whoever dares to evade taxes is such an end!" The tax officer's grim gaze swept over the yellow-faced and thin-skinned women, and said coldly. He must use the bloody reality to deter those who attempt to evade taxes so that his work can go smoothly.

Those survivors who came to pay the tax looked at this scene numbly, and they became accustomed to this kind of thing when they saw it too much, and they became numb.

"How can you abuse a child like this!!" At this moment, an angry voice came from the side.

The tax collector followed the voice, and saw several young men and women who were neatly dressed and ruddy-faced, who were not ordinary survivors, approached.

The one who reprimanded the tax officer was Wen Peishan, who was dressed in red and looked innocent and surname-sensitive.

The tax official glanced at Wen Peishan greedily, many women in the last days did not get enough nutrition and became yellow and thin, but there were not many fair-skinned, ruddy, beautiful and pure girls like Wen Peishan.

The tax officer looked at Wen Peishan and said unhurriedly: "I am acting in accordance with the rules and regulations set above!" This young lady, if you are not satisfied, you can complain to my superior! ”

Although the tax officer also has a background, he is not willing to go against Wen Peishan, who looks like a beautiful woman with a big background and a big backstage!

"You bastard!!" Wen Peishan scolded a little excitedly. However, she has a good family education, her surname is pure and good, and she can't even bully others, so she can only scold without pain.

Yue Zhong looked at this scene, and his brows only frowned slightly. This tax collector's behavior is a bastard indeed. But this is the last days, and if the tax collector is not fierce, he is afraid that he will not be able to collect any taxes.

"Yue Chong, you can help me teach this bastard a lesson!!" Wen Peishan thought about it, and didn't know how to teach the tax official a lesson, so she could only ask Yue Zhong for help.

Hearing this, Yue Chong strode forward a few steps, and he was also very unaccustomed to the tax officer's behavior.

The tax officer looked at Yue Zhong coming over, and said vigilantly, "What do you want to do?" I'm doing things by the rules!! ”

Seven big men also surrounded Yue Chong's side, glaring at Yue Chong with fierce eyes.

Yue Zhong glared at the tax official coldly and said, "You collected more than 50% of the tax. I don't believe that the tax is so high! Are you spitting out the overtax, or do you want to never see the sun tomorrow? ”

The upper echelons of SY City would never be stupid enough to levy such a horrible heavy tax of more than 50%. It's just that there are policies on the top and cars on the bottom, and the above policies change their flavor as soon as they come below. In fact, SY City only levied 20 percent of the taxes on those survivors who went to Zijiang to pick wild vegetables and fish, while in the hands of the tax collector, more than 50 percent was taxed, and more than 30 percent of the river fresh went into his personal pocket.

The tax officer suddenly showed his backstage, glared at Yue Zhong and said, "I'm Zhang Xueming." My cousin is the deputy director of the tax bureau and the deputy director of the Satcom Guard! Who are you? ”

The tax office is a very powerful department both before and after the end of the world. Especially after the end of the world, it is simply the fat difference in the fat gap, and Satcom can become the deputy director of the tax bureau in SY City, and he must have a wide range of contacts. Zhang Xueming hopes that Yue Zhong can retreat in the face of difficulties and everyone will live in peace.

Yue Zhong directly pointed out Wen Peishan's identity: "You palm your own mouth!" Otherwise, you won't see the sun tomorrow. She is Wen Peishan, the daughter of Mayor Wen. ”

Zhang Xueming's face turned pale suddenly, Wen Baoguo is one of the two giants of the political axe system in SY City, and he can crush small people like Weitong and Zhang Xueming with his backhand. This is the last days when human life is as cheap as ants, he is just a small person, even if he disappears tomorrow, no one will care, but countless people are happy that he has vacated a place.

"It's me who is bad!! It's me cheap! It's all my fault!! Miss Wen, I won't dare to do it again!! I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!! Please spare me this time, I'm just doing things according to the rules!! Zhang Xueming knelt in front of Wen Peishan, fanning his mouth vigorously, crying and begging with tears.

Zhang Xueming fanned his mouth very hard, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood.

Wen Peishan's heart softened and said, "Forget it! Forget it this time. Give back what you confiscated to that child! ”

"Yes!" Zhang Xueming stood up at this time, walked in front of Zhang He in person, and returned all those things to Zhang He and said, "Little ghost, these are the foods that Miss Wen gave you, why don't you go and thank Miss Wen quickly!" ”

Zhang He grabbed those river freshmen tightly like an injured lone wolf, glanced at Wen Peishan, who was brightly dressed and bright, and his lips moved with difficulty: "Thank you!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang He grabbed the bag of river fresh and turned around and limped into the distance.

Zhang Xueming looked at Zhang He's somewhat unruly appearance, frowned and stammered at Wen Peishan: "Damn! That little imp is really not lifting! Miss Wen, do you want me to get him back and teach him a good lesson? ”

"No need!" Although Wen Peishan also disliked Zhang He's unruly appearance, she was kind after all, and she had no intention of embarrassing Zhang He.

Yue revisited the female survivors who were chatting with a few wild vegetables near Zijiang, and then looked at the large number of survivors who were watching from afar, like wooden people, frowned slightly, thought for a while, and strode in the direction of Zhang He.

"Wait!! Yue Chong, you wait for me!! Wen Peishan saw Yue Chong leaving, and she hurriedly chased after her.

Zhang He walked for a while, looked at Yue Chong who was chasing after him from behind, grabbed the bags full of wild vegetables and fresh food with both hands, and said vigilantly: "What are you doing with me?" ”

Yue Zhong directly took out a large bag of bread from his backpack and shook it towards Zhang He and said, "Do you want to eat enough?"

Zhang He looked at the big bag of bread in Yue Chong's hand, swallowed his saliva, a flash of greed flashed in his eyes, he clenched his hands, and said loudly: "I won't hand over my sister to you!" No matter how much food you trade, I won't sell my sister!! ”

Yue Chong frowned, knowing that Zhang He had misunderstood: "Sister? ”

Yue Zhong made a condition and said, "I want you to work for me!" Help me errand! In exchange, I will feed you every day and give you half a pound of corn flour. If you do things neatly, I'll give you canned meat and dried bacon! ”

Although Zhang He in front of him is only twelve years old and just a little ghost, he has courage and his own persistence. There are thousands of survivors gathered in the endless river, but there are really few people who dare to go down to the river to fish and catch shrimp. Yue has a foothold in SY City, so it is natural to have the help of locals who are familiar with the local situation.

Characters like Wen Peishan, Lu Shenguang, and Tai Yiyan, who Yue Zhong has already befriended in the upper echelons of SY City, also needs manpower in the lower echelons of SY City.

Zhang He has courage and his own persistence. Yue Zhong didn't mind helping Zhang He!

Zhang He's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "Can you really make me full?" ”

In fact, there are a large number of survivors in SY City, and as long as there is enough food, they can casually pull out a small force. Zhang He is also willing to join those gangs, but no gang is willing to take them in, who don't have too strong combat effectiveness and can only consume food.

Tong Xiaoyun walked to Yue Chong's side, looked at Zhang He, who looked like a little beggar, and defended Yue Chong: "How could Brother Yue lie to you." We have too much food to eat. ”

Zhang He looked at the bright and lovely Tong Xiaoyun and the special combat team members behind Yue Chong, knelt down in front of Yue Chong and swore: "This lord, I don't have any big requests, as long as you let my younger brother and sister have enough to eat." I'll sell my life to you!! Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do! ”

Although Zhang He's grade is small, he is very precocious. The one who can pull out so many people in SY City is definitely not a small force, and his refuge is only beneficial. His asking price is not high, as long as his younger brother and sister can eat well, he is willing to sell his life to Yue Chong.

In these last days, human life is not valuable, and there are countless people who are willing to sell their lives in order to have a full meal. It's just that in such a ghost world, even if you want to work for others, you can't find the owner.

Yue Zhong asked curiously, "Get up!" I wonder, why don't those people go fishing near the Zijiang River? ”

In Yue Chong's eyes, the Zijiang River that surrounds SY City is a treasure river, and there is a river water near the Nazi River, where a large number of mutated wild vegetables and wild grasses grow, and in the Zijiang River, there are a large number of fish resources. If this treasure river is used well, it is basically not a problem to provide food for tens of thousands of survivors.

The high-level people of SY City are not stupid, they didn't use this Baojiang, and there was a big problem if they moved.

Zhang He asked, "This adult, may I ask what is your name?" ”

"I'm Yue Chong!" Yue said in a deep voice.

Zhang He said quickly: "Boss Yue, it is true that there are many fish and shrimp in this river, but in this river, there are also many terrifying beasts. There are large snakes tens of meters long, large black fish that can swallow people in one bite, and large crabs that can cut people in two with one claw. At first, many people did go down to the river to fish, but soon those who fished were eaten by those fierce beasts! After hundreds of deaths, few people dared to go down to the river to fish! ”

Hundreds of people died in this river, which frightened the rest of the survivors, and those people naturally did not dare to go down to the river to fish. Therefore, although there is a Zijiang River surrounded by it, the river fresh in SY City is still a scarce resource.

Yue Zhong continued to ask, "Didn't the political axe and the military send out experts to deal with those mutant beasts?" ”

Mutant beasts are indeed terrifying, but they are not impossible to destroy. SY City has more than 100,000 survivors, among whom there are masters in the political axe and the military, and it should not be a problem to deal with a few mutant beasts.

Zhang He thought for a while, and quickly said: "There are masters who have come to Zijiang to hunt those fierce beasts, and they have also killed some fierce beasts, but the fierce beasts in the river are too fierce. Those masters who came to Zijiang to hunt fierce beasts were often eaten, and now there are very few masters who come to Zijiang to hunt fierce beasts. ”

Masters are always a scarce resource, and one less one dies. There were too many mutant beasts in Zijiang and they were hidden in the water, and after the political axe and the military masters killed more than two dozen powerful enhancers, they stopped attacking the mutant beasts in Zijiang. Because the surname-to-price ratio is really uneconomical.

In the continuous conversation with Yue Chong, Zhang He revealed the living environment of the bottom survivors in SY City one by one. The most bitter in Nasy City are the survivors at the bottom. Although SY City will distribute some crystal clear gruel to maintain the lives of those survivors, there are relationships everywhere, and many survivors' bowls of gruel that sustain life will be embezzled by the officials in charge of handling them. A woman who sells her body for a steamed bun is everywhere. In the gathering places that look like refugee camps, you can see people selling their children and daughters everywhere.

Under the leadership of Zhang He, Yue Zhong and his party walked to a street where sewage flowed, buildings were dilapidated, and human feces were stinking everywhere.

In the middle of the street, one of the survivors sat numbly on the street, his body smelling of rancidity. A large number of mosquitoes and flies hover around their bodies, which is extremely annoying.

A woman in ragged clothes, with two big dark circles under her eyes, sunken cheeks, and a sour smell on her body, grabbed a little girl's hand and knelt in front of Yue Chong and begged bitterly: "This uncle!" Save you, buy my daughter!! A box of instant noodles, as long as a box of instant noodles, I will sell her to you!! She can do anything, you buy her back, she can do anything for you!! ”

The little girl who was about eleven or twelve years old with pigtails and was as hungry as a bean sprout also knelt in front of Yue Chong and begged, "Uncle, buy me." I'm willing to do anything. ”

Tong Xiaoyun saw this scene and couldn't help asking, "Auntie! This is your own daughter? How can you bear to sell her?? ”

Wen Peishan looked at this scene with disbelief in her eyes. It was the first time she had been to such a place. In her thinking, such a thing as selling children and daughters would only appear in books, or in the legendary old society, and such a thing should never happen in SY City, which her father governs.
