Apocalypse World Reboot

Chapter 14 Chapter 14

After entering the door, I saw a young man in a fancy dress playing with the jade piece in his hand, nestling comfortably on the sofa.When Xu Xian entered the door, he raised his eyes and looked at him, showing a weird smile.

Seeing his expression, Xu Xian couldn't help feeling angry: "Second Young Master is at ease now, there is no restraint on his head, and he has come here to be a local leader in this barren mountain."

Xu Jin did not sit down, but stood behind Xu Xian and looked down at Jing Wenyi, which made him feel more pressured.

Jing Wenyi had no choice but to accept the neglect: "I'm not like you, Fourth Young Master, with such a capable follower, I can call the wind and rain wherever I go."

Xu Xian raised his hand and tugged at Xu Jin's sleeve, motioning for him to sit beside him, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, why did you ask us to come here?"

Jing Wenyi smiled gently at Xu Jin. He was as handsome as a jade, but it was a pity that he couldn't get into Xu Jin's eyes, and he also flirted with the blind.

"You don't need to look at him, I am the one who decides here."

Jing Wenyi's phoenix eyes narrowed: "The fourth young master is full of confidence now. I think it's past when Xu Jin followed you to clean up the mess."

Xu Xian smiled angrily: "So what? He is willing to clean up for me. If it were you, do you have the qualifications?"

Jing Wenyi couldn't compete with him, so he had to surrender: "Okay, I can't compete with Fourth Young Master, let's change the topic and talk about business."

Xu Xian raised his chin, showing a little complacency: "Let's talk."

Jing Wenyi knew that his child's temper has always been spoiled, so he stopped arguing about those useless things, and only said to Xu Jin: "The Bai family and the Liang family are thinking about it. You didn't go back, maybe you don't know very well, the only ones that can stand firm now are those above. Oh, your Xu family can also be counted as one, and now you, the fourth young master, have reached the sky in one step."

Xu Xian lost interest when he heard the words: "Is this what you want to talk about?"

Jing Wenyi shook his head: "The geographical location of the devil's capital is not good, and the resource reserves are not too much. These days, the higher-ups have been planning to move the capital. It's just that the backup materials are not available, and they are afraid that the people below will make trouble. Your eldest brother has Bing, the second young master is a core member, I would like to ask if the two of us can cooperate?"

This proposal was also Jing Wenyi's whim after meeting Xu Xian and Xu Jin.The Jing family was complicated internally, and those evil-minded people kept spreading the news to deal with him.

Those elders also eat dry food, and they don't recognize each other.If he is really so stupid to take the goods back, not to mention how many people he will lose on the way, even if he goes back, he will not get the slightest benefit. If those who can make money, don’t bite off a big piece of meat from him will give up.

Xu Xian was not interested in this, and turned to look at Xu Jin, signaling him to call the shots.

Seeing Xu Xian get up to look at the jewelry and antiques on the display rack, Xu Jin thought for a while before saying, "How much does Second Young Master have?"

Jing Wenyi didn't hesitate: "Five heavy trucks."

Xu Jin frowned: "It's not easy to transport so many things back, why doesn't Second Young Master take water?"

Jing Wenyi waved his hands again and again: "Don't mention it, you should be aware of the tsunami in the island country. These days the temperature has dropped a lot, and the sea temperature is even lower. There is no news about the warships sent out."

The country's development in naval warfare is not high, and the level of warships is not as good as those produced by gringos. Besides, politics pays attention to checks and balances.Before he came out, his father had told him not to go by water, so the risk factor must be higher.

Seeing his refusal, Xu Jin also knew that there might be a problem, so he said: "The equipment is not working now, you should prepare more gasoline, the mountain roads in this area are not easy to walk, there have been frequent earthquakes a while ago, if the national highway is destroyed, we can only It's a mountain road."

Jing Wenyi looked at Youmen, and his eyes lit up: "Brother Xu, do you mean you agreed?"

Xu Xian, who was flipping through ancient books, heard the words and gave Jing Wenyi a glance, and this person would climb up the ladder.

Xu Jin nodded: "If the goods are good, it's worth taking a risk. It's just that it's best not to ship this batch of goods to Shanghai."

Jing Wenyi is also worried about this: "It can be said that the capital is moved, and the location has not yet been decided. It stands to reason that there is coal in the north and there are few earthquakes, which is naturally the best. But I heard that there is a project in the northwest, and it has been under construction for the first two or three years. This temperature is also evil, and some people predict that the temperature will rise. When the sea level rises, it may be dangerous to rely on the seaside."

Xu Jin looked at him with a sincere look, although he revealed a lot of information during his speech, but Xu Jin was basically clear about these things, and it was of little use.Sure enough, as Xiaoxian said, this Second Young Master Jing is really slippery.

"Second Young Master said this, so it can be seen that there is no sincerity."

It's not inevitable for Xu Jin to get Jing Wenyi's batch of goods, he and Xiaoxian will only have more than this, but for Xu Xian's safety, Xu Jin can't hesitate to refuse the delivery Benefits come.

"It's not a problem to bring things in, it just depends on whether you can keep them."

Xu Jin thought about it for a while and decided to sell him. Jing Wenyi is an evil person, with a temperament that is both good and evil.

Jing Wenyi nodded, Xu Jin was expressing his opinion, "If it works, how about we split it into four or six?"

This was already a big concession for him, and of course the [-]% was for Xu Jin.Xu Jin didn't think too little: "I can only be regarded as helping the young master to take the lead. The contribution is on him, and of course the goods have to be given to him."

Jing Wenyi pretended to have a deep smile: "Brother Xu is not tempted by so many goods?"

Xu Jin doesn't practice Tai Chi either: "I have few people under my command, so I can't eat so much. Besides, I have to make Jing Ershao feel that this business won't be a disadvantage."

Jing Wenyi was very satisfied with this answer: "Then it's settled, Brother Xu, please rest assured, the benefits are absolutely indispensable to you."

Xu Jin nodded slightly, for this business, he was at best a matchmaker.Based on his status in the Xu family, Xu Jin also understood that Jing Wenyi would not think highly of him, but it would be a big mistake to treat him as a chess piece that could be held in his hands.

I didn't bother to pay attention to Jing Wenyi's matter, and when they finished talking, Xu Xian directly pulled Xu Jin away.

In the villa, Xue Lei and others are practicing.Seeing Xu Jin come back, Xue Lei took the lead and said, "How did the talk go?"

Xu Jin poured Xu Xian a cup of hot water, "What can I do? It's nothing more than the distribution of benefits, and I want to bring Xu's family in."

Xue Lei smiled when he heard the words: "Jing Wenyi is very interesting, but he is too unscrupulous in his actions."

Xu Jin didn't look at him: "That's why he made countless enemies, making the whole world full of enemies."

Xue Lei was surprised: "Then you still help him?"

Xu Jin nodded: "There is no permanent enemy, only permanent interests. Since you can benefit from cooperating with him, why not do it?"

Xue Lei simply got up and sat opposite him: "There are so many things, you are not afraid to hold on!"

He was joking, they don't have many people in their hands, even if they return to the magic capital, they don't know what will happen in the past few months, instead of recruiting new people, it is better to consolidate the existing forces in their hands.

Xu Jin also understands this truth: "So I told him that I was helping the young master, and these things just feed his soldiers."

Xue Lei didn't quite agree with his style of putting the Xu family first in everything, but at this moment Xu Xian was right in front of him, so he didn't have much to say.

"Since you've made all your plans, I don't need to say anything more. Just one thing, he has a lot of thoughts, and you should also remind you, don't make yourself feel bad at the end."

Jing Wenyi is in a hurry to leave when he has the things in hand, there are many changes outside.The population density in this area is small, and there are not many zombies, but seeing that the supplies are getting less and less, there are not many things they brought out, so they should go back early.

Jing Wenyi meant to let Xu Jin and the others go with them, but Xu Jin didn't agree, but asked him to call Xu Ye before leaving, and the two parties basically reached an agreement.

After sending Jing Wenyi away, Xu Jin and others searched the rest of the villa again, harvested enough food and gasoline, and set off again the next morning.

------

Everything else about driving on the road is okay, but it is getting colder and colder all the way, and the car cannot be turned off, otherwise it will be a problem whether it can be ordered the next day.

There were too many cars, so Xu Jin arranged for two people to drive a car, so that they could bring more things, and he and Xu Xian could also have some private conversations.

Although Xu Xian didn't know his crazy thoughts, he was relieved anyway, and didn't have to be suspicious all day long.

It took them more than two months to go halfway from landing at the southernmost point to now, and the temperature is now as low as minus [-] degrees. The south is like the north, let alone the north. In addition, the water and electricity are now shut down. The weather is getting worse, and supplies are starting to run short, and many people who survived froze to death or starved to death.

When we arrived at City W, more and more people went out for activities around here. Many of them were organized by the temporary regime in the area to hunt for supplies and hunt zombies. They met Xu Xian and his party, and even encouraged them to join him.

Naturally, Xu Jin declined, not to mention how long these impromptu party-like forces could persist, even if the treatment was not bad, they would not be able to settle down here.

Originally, Xu Xian expected that it would be enough to travel to W City for a month, but there were frequent earthquakes on the road. Once a strong earthquake occurred in Jincheng, and a nearby nuclear power plant leaked, almost all of them were folded inside.

It was also thanks to Xu Xian that he sensed something was wrong at the first time, coupled with the space warning, he was lucky to escape.Afterwards, other people also had lingering fears. Once nuclear energy is leaked, it is very dangerous. The leak of nuclear energy in the island country has turned the area into a dead city. I am afraid that Jincheng will not be able to escape such a fate.

"If you want me to say that the fourth young master should stop thinking about those bad things, now that the number of zombies has begun to decrease, maybe the situation will subside after a while." Xu Guozhu chatted with him while cooking.

After a few days of heavy snowfall, the temperature began to drop again.A few people couldn't bear to stay in the car all day, so they settled on the outskirts of the city, planning to take a rest for the day.

Since the end of the world, the temperature is getting lower and lower. Thanks to this, a lot of materials can be preserved, but the weather is bad, and there are not many things that can be found.

They just got some frozen meat today, so they simply stewed a lot of beef in a big pot of stew. With the noodles, Xu Xian took some dried shrimps, dried mushrooms, and dehydrated vegetables.Xu Xian bought a lot of seasonings before, and they collected a lot of them afterwards. There is no shortage of these things. Xu Xian is not very good at cooking, but the food made with these seasonings is not bad.

Xu Jin was quite helpless: "Leave me alone, you won't be tired after a busy day?"

Although he is not the main force for killing zombies now, it is enough to dig the crystal core for a day and cook the fish that escaped the net. Xu Jin can't help but feel sorry for him, and even wants to return to the magic capital as soon as possible.

Xu Xian simply withdrew his hand and handed him the big spoon: "Then you come."

Xu Jin handed the things to Xu Guozhu, pulled Xu Xian out of the kitchen, and sent Xiao Wu in to help.

When I went out, it was a vast expanse of whiteness outside. It snowed two days ago, and it became mist when I went out to breathe.Xu Xian rubbed his hands vigorously and stomped his feet back and forth. The shoes he wore were thick, but they were useless.

Xu Jin dragged him into the opposite pharmacy. The whole big pharmacy was in a mess. The medicines in the back warehouse had been searched by them, and the medicines left on the surface were thrown on the ground at will, and no one picked them up.

Xu Jin took out a small hot water bottle from his arms, and found a stool for him to sit down: "There is still a while before dinner, let's rest here for a while."

They settled in a residential building. Because there was a small base nearby, there were almost no people in the vicinity. The residents who originally lived here either turned into zombies or fled to the base.

Xu Xian pulled another stool to his side, patted the chair and motioned Xu Jin to sit next to him.A smile appeared in Xu Jin's eyes, and when he was seated, Xu Xian simply leaned against him with a warm water bag in his arms.

"The weather is getting colder and the zombies are harder to fight. We'd better not go to the urban areas." In order to be cautious, they basically wandered around towns and villages except for the outskirts of the urban areas. There are too many zombies to cope with, and secondly, they have no shortage of supplies, and those things stored in the capital should still be there, food is not a problem for the time being.

It’s just that it’s more difficult for them to improve their physical fitness. Xiao Wu and Wang Hai were scratched by zombies a few times before. If it wasn’t for Xu Xian’s spiritual spring water and their hard work to improve their physical fitness, I’m afraid that this Kungfu has long since become a zombie.

To be honest, humans are at a disadvantage in the face of zombies.Zombies don't feel much at such a low temperature, they are different, and zombies don't get tired, they are simply an army of undead zombies.

Xu Jin stroked his long (zh) long hair, "It's been so long since I've been out, it's almost done, if you don't go back, you will be angry."

Xu Xian smiled: "I'm not afraid of him getting angry, it's just that we've been fighting zombies outside for too long, it would be bad if we lost touch with society."

Xu Jin started to help him comb his hair, and said casually: "Xiao Wu has been listening to the radio, the earthquake in the south, the frost damage in the north, the tsunami in the island country, the capital city is not peaceful, and the base is not running smoothly. Most people are at a loss."

Xu Xian nodded: "That's true." Everyone is the same, I don't know if I can live until tomorrow, but I am working hard to survive today.

There was a quiet and heavy smell in the air, and Xu Xian broke the calm after a while: "At least we have a lot of cards, and the zombies are not as powerful as in the novel, although we have not obtained any special abilities.

Hey, tell me, will aliens invade Bluestar at this time? "

Xu Jin hesitated for a moment, but said in a muffled voice, "The novels are all fiction."

"..."

After a while Xu Xian raised his head and glared at him: "Comrade Xu Jin, when I make a speech, you should unconditionally agree with me instead of questioning me, ok?!"
