Chapter 43
The next morning, Wang Lin and Xiaolong walked out of the room and went downstairs to the place where the vines grew, planning to take some back to make equipment.

But when Wang Lin went downstairs, he saw a man and a woman picking vines.

The man among the two heard the footsteps of Wang Lin and Xiaolong.

He turned around at once, pulled out the self-made spear from his waist, pointed at Wang Lin and the young dragon, and shouted loudly: "Who are you, don't come here."

Wang Lin glanced at the middle-aged man in shabby clothes holding a self-made spear, and said, "Don't be nervous, I have no malicious intentions, just like you, I just want to pick some vines back."

The man did not believe Wang Lin's words.

Still holding his weapon, he told Wang Lin not to approach them.

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Lin and then at the young dragon behind him, his hand holding the spear kept shaking.

The girl behind him quickly picked vines.

Wang Lin found that they were not using knives or fire to break the vines, but directly uprooted the entire vine from the wall.

Wang Lin asked curiously, "Are the roots of these vines easy to pull up?"

The man still looked at him nervously, but the girl picking vines answered Wang Lin: "Yes, this kind of mutated vine is very hard, and it cannot be broken by ordinary knives and scissors unless it is burned. Later, my father found out The roots of this kind of plant become very easy to pull out in the morning, but once the morning time passes, it is not easy to pull out."

Wang Lin saw that the girl was not very wary of him and seemed easy to talk to, so he continued to ask, "Are you any survivors nearby?"

The man stopped the girl who wanted to continue talking, and said to Wang Lin: "Stranger, I haven't seen you nearby, but I advise you to leave here early, this place...is not safe."

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Wang Lin knew that he was really a kind reminder.

"You mean there will be danger here? Besides those slow-moving zombies, are there other dangers?"

Wang Lin pointed to the young dragon behind him, and continued: "Besides, my partner is also good enough to deal with ordinary difficulties."

The man glanced at the young dragon behind Wang Lin, and sighed: "It's up to you..."

He thought to himself: Carrying heavy treasures is often the cause of disaster.

Immediately, he stopped talking to Wang Lin and urged his daughter to hurry up and pick the vines.

"What are you picking this vine for?"

"My dad can make rattan armor. The rattan armor made from this vine can be exchanged for food."

the girl replied.

For food?Are there any survivors in this area already engaged in primitive bartering?

Wang Lin wanted to ask if he could bring him with him during the transaction, but before he could say anything, a man's voice came from outside the gate of the community: "Li Cunyi, can the ten pairs of rattan armors agreed to be delivered?"

A group of men with weapons in their hands came in from outside the community gate.

The leader was a young man wearing glasses. He was wearing a black jacket and ripped jeans. He was dirty and had many scars on his face.

The people behind him were all dressed similar to him, and also similar to the survivors Wang Lin had seen during this time.

Li Cunyi, that is, the middle-aged man, became flustered when he saw the man with glasses walk in.

The spear that was originally aimed at Wang Lin was also put down involuntarily.

"Brother Wang, didn't the ten pairs of rattan armor mentioned earlier be delivered within a week? It's only been three days, why are you here to order the goods now?"

The man with glasses spat on the ground and glanced at Wang Lin next to him.

When he saw the young dragon behind Wang Lin, he yelled in fear and asked Li Cunyi in panic, "What the hell is this?"

Seeing this, Wang Lin stepped forward and explained: "This is my pet. It is very kind and will not bite or attack people."

"Who are you?" The man with glasses asked Wang Lin.

"I am a survivor from other places, and I just came to this place today." Wang Lin replied.

The man with glasses looked at Wang Lin, then at the young dragon, and said to Li Cunyi:

"Recently, we have lost a lot of manpower in the search for supplies, so the boss is a little tight in urging the equipment. How many pieces of equipment have you made in the past three days?"

Li Cunyi showed a look of embarrassment, and said falteringly: "There are only two..."

Hearing this, the man with glasses stepped forward and kicked Li Cunyi down, then stepped on his chest and said to him, "Two pieces? Old man, what did you say back then, ten sets of rattan armors will be exchanged for you and your daughter?" Fate, our boss even gave you a bag of rice for this, and now you tell me that you only made two rattan armors in three days, isn’t it just farting when you said that you made ten rattan armors in seven days?”

Wang Lin watched the man with glasses kick Li Cunyi down and kept silent.

Judging from what the man with glasses said, this was a deal that Li Cunyi had agreed with this group of people in advance. Li Cunyi took other people's things, but he couldn't meet the conditions he had agreed in advance. He deserved to be beaten by the man with glasses.

Seeing his father being beaten, Li Cunyi's daughter rushed up with a bamboo knife.

The man in glasses dodges the girl's stab at him, and then grabs the girl's arm: "Li Cunyi, you and your daughter are fine, not to mention treachery, and you want to kill your benefactor."

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, Nian Ling is ignorant, so don't argue with her... I will definitely hand in the rattan armor in five days, and I will guarantee it with my head..."

Li Cunyi said to the man with glasses while covering his chest and coughing.

"Five days later? When you run away, where can I find you? Your daughter has to follow me today. When did you hand in the rattan armor? When can you bring your daughter back?"

While talking, the man with glasses squinted at Li Nianling, Li Cunyi's daughter.

Wang Lin looked at the scene in front of him. It was a very old-fashioned plot. The powerful party bullied men and women for a little reason, while the weaker party had no ability to resist.

But this is the end of the world where the order is broken, the strong are respected, and the weak prey on the strong.

Li Cunyi begged bitterly, not wanting the man with glasses to take his daughter away.

Li Nianling struggled to free his hands from holding the glasses, but it didn't work at all.

Wang Lin didn't want to take care of things very much, but looking at the father and daughter who were being bullied, from the contact just now, it can be seen that the father and daughter are still pure in nature.

In the end, he still said, "Hey, since this person said that he will complete the transaction between you according to the stipulated time, and your transaction does not involve his daughter, why should he use his daughter as collateral at this time?"

Brother Wang, the man with glasses, saw Wang Lin speak for the father and daughter, glanced at the young dragon behind Wang Lin with fear, and said, "This is a matter between us and them at the end of the day, what does it have to do with you, an outsider? Shut up if you don't want to cause trouble!"

Wang Lin was the first time someone spoke to him in such a tone since the end of the day. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "Then what if I just want to take care of this?"
