"Hey, bro, come here for a second!"
While everyone was chatting, Chen Jie stood happily under the eaves, waving at Thomas Xu with a small hand mysteriously hidden behind her back. The little girl had cried for several days after hearing the tragic news of Chen Yalan's death. It took the combined efforts of Thomas Xu, Lu Jia, and others to comfort her, using all sorts of coaxing and deception. Although Chen Jie still occasionally showed a hint of sadness, it was much better than the times she had fainted from crying.
"What's up, Xiao Jie?" Thomas Xu walked over, chewing on a chicken foot. He reached out to pat Chen Jie's little head and said, "Why are you smiling like that? Did you win the lottery?"
"Shh~" Chen Jie made a shushing gesture with her finger to her lips, then smilingly pulled out a cup of white fresh milk from behind her back. She whispered to Thomas Xu, "Bro, I made this milk just for you, and it's only for you! Hurry up and drink it before they see!"
"You've got to be kidding me, it's just a cup of milk. Why make it so mysterious?" Thomas Xu took the cup with a frown, sniffed the contents, and then wrinkled his brow, saying, "Xiao Jie, what did you put in here? It smells so fishy!"
"Hehe~ Of course, it's something good! I'll tell you what it is after you finish drinking!" Chen Jie looked at Thomas Xu with her hands behind her back, her eyes sparkling with a little fox-like cunning. After Thomas Xu suspiciously drank it, Chen Jie smiled and asked, "So, bro, how does it taste?"
"It's just so-so! But why didn't you add some sugar? It's a bit bland!" Thomas Xu smacked his lips, somewhat reluctant to compliment.
"Hahaha…"
Chen Jie suddenly burst into laughter, doubling over and slapping her thigh in excitement. When the helpless Thomas Xu straightened her tilted little head, she wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and said while still giggling, "Of course, human milk is unsweetened! Tastes good, right?"
"What? Human… human milk?" Thomas Xu's eyes widened in shock as he immediately thought of a possibility. He nervously glanced back at the people in the yard and quickly pulled Chen Jie into the thatched house, whispering, "Xiao Jie, tell me honestly, what exactly did I just drink?"
"Didn't they say it's human milk?" Chen Jie smiled happily and then leaned close to Thomas Xu's ear, saying joyfully, "It's freshly squeezed milk from Sister Lu Jia, isn't it delicious?"
"Lu... Lu Jia? My sister-in-law?" Thomas Xu's face turned completely red. He looked at the closed door of the office guiltily, and asked in a low voice with a strange expression, "Did... my sister-in-law asked you to bring it to me to drink?"
"Of course not." Chen Jie shook her head quickly and said with a smile, "Sister Lu Jia has been getting breast milk these days, so she squeezed the milk into a cup for me to drink. Yesterday, she gave me a drink in the air-raid shelter, but I thought it was too fishy and didn't taste good, and I didn't want to waste it, so I gave it to you to drink. How about I give it to you? I'm very nice to you, I think of you."
"Don't you get milk only after giving birth?" Thomas Xu asked weakly, his face turned red.
"Tch~ That's because you have little knowledge. Women have breasts at the end of pregnancy." Chen Jie looked like I understand very well. She patted her trembling breasts arrogantly, and then whispered to Thomas Xu, "How about it? Brother, there will be a drink later in the afternoon. Let's drink it with you."
"This... this is not good," Thomas Xu said with a blushing face, "How... how can you steal my sister's things?"
"It's okay, I don't like to drink that stuff. Besides, even if I want to drink it, I will drink it in the future. Well, if you like to drink it, I will give you all the milk squeezed out by Sister Lu Jia from now on." Chen Jie patted Thomas Xu's chest very generously, with an extremely narrow look in her eyes.
"Xiaojie..."
At this moment, probably hearing Chen Jie's voice getting louder and louder, Lu Jia walked out of the office with a face full of shame and anger. She stood by the door frame and glanced angrily at the empty cup in Thomas Xu's hand. She angrily said to Chen Jie, "Xiao Jie, how can you act so nonsense? Give... give that thing to Thomas Xu to drink."
"Sister Lu Jia, don't be angry. I don't like drinking that stuff, but I can't throw it away. Besides, I said he likes drinking it very much." Chen Jie turned around and said carelessly.
"You...oh, you've made me so angry." Lu Jia's face froze, she stamped her feet in annoyance, and hurriedly disappeared into the room.
"Hehe~ Brother, don't worry, I'll just go and say a few words to Sister Lu Jia. She is a family member of ours. If I drink what she squeezes out, of course you will drink it. This is called keeping the fat and water from flowing to outsiders." Chen Jie had another look on her face Confidently patted Thomas Xu on the chest, and then ran into the office happily, leaving Thomas Xu standing there with a strange look on his face, silently trying to figure out the true meaning of the sentence left by Chen Jie, "Don't let the rich water go to outsiders."
...
"Thomas Xu, how far is it before we get there?" Jack held the Warrior's steering wheel in one hand and the walkie-talkie in the other. Now they had reached the river bed. The three cars were lined up and running freely, dragging three long lines of Marcus-colored smoke behind the cars. The sound was unusually loud.
"Did you see the big sign on the right? It's only three kilometers away from there."
Thomas Xu's voice soon sounded on the intercom, and everyone turned their heads in the direction he said. Sure enough, a few hundred meters away, everyone saw a white billboard made of wood. On the billboard, a row of very eye-catching characters were written in black paint - Living corpses are no longer a problem here, we welcome you.
Probably to confirm what was said on the billboard, there were actually three living corpses tied under the big sign painted with tinplate, all tied around their necks with thick iron chains used to tie the big Dexter dog, with arms as thick as their tails. The iron bolt was firmly inserted into the ground, and no matter how hard the three living corpses struggled, they could not escape within two or three meters of the surrounding area. Instead, they pulled the rusty Marcus's rusty iron chain, causing everyone's eyebrows to jump wildly.
"Bang bang..."
The three vehicles had just barely run a kilometer when four dirty off-road vehicles came out from behind the slope on the right side. The leader was a black Great Wall Haval. A man with short round hair and reflective toad mirrors on his face was leaning out of the sunroof. Half of his body came up, and a 54-hand gun clicked loudly in his hand, and several heads protruded from the windows in the three cars behind, waving the hot and cold weapons in their hands, and making ghostly screams like "oh ho ho" from their mouths.
The four cars rushed straight towards Jack's car, but Jack and the others neither stopped nor accelerated, and continued to move at the same pace as before. However, after the men hit the accelerator and chased a little closer, the dark green Changfeng Cheetah that had been running in the middle suddenly slowed down and came to the outside, followed closely. Half of Thomas Xu's body came out of the skylight. He also held an August 1 automatic rifle loaded with bullets in his hand. As soon as he showed up, he drew a row of bullets towards the sky. Thomas then pointed crazily at the big man in sunglasses opposite and shouted, "Biaozi, I have the legs of your grandma, do you even want to rob my fleet?"
The big man who was called Biaozi by Thomas Xu first took off the sunglasses on his face in confusion. When he saw Thomas Xu's appearance clearly, he immediately slapped the roof of the car and shouted, "Haha~ It's you who are the bastard. Why aren't you dead yet? I haven't seen you in a few days, and you have a lot of hard dicks in your hands."
"How can I be willing to die if you don't die?" Thomas Xu also laughed, and then turned around and said something to the car. Half a minute later, the three cars slowly stopped, and the four cars led by Biaozi's group also pulled to the side.
"Thomas Xu, okay, you won't run to the city, will you? You are very brave." Biaozi got out of the sunroof and jumped out of the car, while Thomas Xu also stuffed the rifle back into the car and jumped out of the sunroof, he looked proud. He took out a bag of soft Chinese food from his pocket and threw it to Biaozi. He pointed his thumb at the Dongfeng warrior behind him with a smile and said, "I followed a boss. The boss led me around Jiangcheng. He got me some food and paired me with a few girls. I think I'm doing okay."
"You really made it this time, huh!" Biaozi looked at the Soft Zhonghua in his hand with great excitement. He quickly opened the pack, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep puff. Then, with curiosity, he asked, "Who is your boss? Daring to wander around Jiangcheng, there are probably more living corpses there than the hair on my legs, right?"
"My boss said you wouldn't recognize him; he doesn't hang around here. However, the number of living corpses in Jiangcheng is not just scary; they swarm in groups that make my scalp tingle. But with my boss protecting us, we not only had no trouble but also stayed a few nights in a club in Jiangcheng before coming here!" Thomas Xu said, proudly adjusting his belt.
"Damn, you've swapped out your whole outfit for Gucci and LV?" Biaozi looked at the shiny Gucci logo on Thomas Xu's belt in shock, nodding with envy. He then added, "What's up? Is your boss planning to come back and fight with Guangdan and the others? That old guy has been glaring like a warning light ever since you killed his son; you can see him from far away, and he's unhappy with everyone!"
"Fight with him? Pfft~ How many people does he have and how many guns? If he had any sense, he wouldn't come to blow me up. I'd show mercy and not go looking for trouble with him. Otherwise, if I get angry, I'll just launch a rocket and blow their hideout to smithereens!" Thomas Xu said dismissively, curling his lip.
"You… you guys even got a rocket launcher?" Biaozi was truly shocked this time, staring wide-eyed at Thomas Xu in disbelief.
"Bingbing, bring out our rocket launcher for Biaozi to see!" Thomas Xu raised his eyebrows proudly and waved to Bingbing in the car.
"Xu Ge, rocket launcher!" Bingbing jumped down from the car with the rocket launcher in hand, handed it to Thomas Xu, and smiled modestly at Biaozi, even striking a flirtatious pose leaning against Thomas Xu to boost his image.
"See? The long-legged flight attendant my boss gave me is definitely not comparable to those worn-out goods in the gathering place!" Thomas Xu said, puffing out his chest and patting Bingbing's thigh, while Bingbing returned a charming smile, leaving Biaozi stunned.
Thomas Xu slung the rocket launcher over his shoulder, knocking on the tube and boasting, "Is this enough to send Guangdan and the others straight to the sky?"
"Impressive! Thomas Xu, you're really something this time. If my boss weren't my brother, I'd want to switch sides and work for your boss. With this big killer, who in the gathering place would dare challenge you?"
Biaozi looked at the shiny rocket launcher on Thomas Xu's shoulder, his eyes turning a bit red with envy. He then shamelessly flattered Thomas Xu, saying, "Xuzi, can you introduce us to your boss? Life is getting harder for us now. When your boss has time to go out looking for food, could you take us along? We can help him run errands and pick up some scraps!"
"Sure, come with me, I'll introduce you!" Thomas Xu readily handed the rocket launcher to Bingbing and excitedly led Biaozi to the side of the Warrior vehicle. When the people inside saw Thomas Xu approaching with a stranger, the passenger window immediately rolled down, first blowing out a refreshing cool breeze, and then revealing Bai Ru's exquisitely beautiful face. She then asked curiously, "What's up? Is there something you need?"
"Sister Ru, this is my friend Biaozi from the gathering place. His brother is a leader of a major force in our area, and Biaozi came to pay a visit to Brother Lin!" Thomas Xu said with a smile while standing by the car. Biaozi glanced at Bai Ru but didn't dare to look too long. He quickly nodded and bowed to Jack in the driver's seat, saying, "Hello, big brother, I'm Ryan Biao, just call me Biaozi. I hope you'll take care of me in the future!"
Jack nodded slightly without saying a word, but the rear window slowly rolled down. In the back seat, Cao Mei was lazily polishing her shiny nails and said to Biaozi outside, "So you're Biaozi, right? If there's nothing important, don't disturb our young master. It's the same to just talk to little Thomas!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I just came to pay a visit!"
Biaozi was also quite perceptive. Seeing that there were three stunning beauties in the back seat along with a large hunting dog, and noticing Cao Mei's lazy demeanor, he immediately understood that these people had never suffered any hardships. So, he nodded in fear and respect, instantly elevating Jack and the others' status in his mind.
"Old Biao, we're leaving now. Come find me tonight, and I'll let you try some fifty-year-old Wuliangye. You'll be drunk on Chinese cigarettes, haha!" Thomas Xu playfully patted Biaozi on the shoulder, jumped into the Cheetah, and sped off with two other vehicles, leaving Biaozi alone, covered in Marcus sand, yet still grinning and waving at the taillights.
