Chapter 59, talk about conditions
The woman's body tensed up, she picked up the kitchen knife on the table and held it in front of her.

He looked at the translucent ghost floating in the air with a horrified expression.

She couldn't figure it out.

In addition to the standing skeleton, why did another ghost appear?

And appeared directly in front of him.

"Auntie, don't be nervous, Xiaoxiao won't hurt you." Xiaoxiao said.

"what are you?"

"My name is Xiaoxiao, and my family owns the Fuheng Silver Store."

Xiaoxiao?Fuheng Silver Store?
What a mess.

"What do you want from me?" the woman continued to ask, carefully moving toward the door.

Xiaoxiao walked around the room and continued: "Uncle asked me to talk to you."

"Your uncle? What does he want to talk to me about?" the woman continued to ask.

Although the scene before him was strange, the ghost in front of him didn't seem to be hurting him immediately.

"It's the one you mentioned with the skeleton."

Sure enough, someone is controlling the skeleton group.

"Is your uncle a superpower?"

"What is a superpower? I don't know, he is King Yama."

The woman frowned.

Yama?
Why did King Yama appear again?

"What does he want you to talk to me about?" The woman had already retreated to the door and stood there asking.

"Well, let me think about it." Xiaoxiao walked around the room again and continued: "Uncle said that he wants you to follow him."

"Follow him? What do you mean?"

"Just like Xiaoxiao, follow your uncle."

Depend on!
Who wants to be like you?

You are obviously no longer a human being, okay?

Apart from ghosts and skeletons, can I still survive if I follow that King Yama?

Zizi~!

Just when the woman was thinking about talking, the walkie-talkie in her pocket rang.

"Sister Hong, it's not good, those skeletons are coming and approaching us, let's go quickly!"

The woman carefully glanced at the ghost in the air, then took out her walkie-talkie and said, "Pack your things and prepare to evacuate."

"it is good."

After the woman finished speaking, she looked at the ghost of the little girl in the sky and asked, "What if we don't want to follow him? What will happen?"

Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "Uncle didn't say anything. I think he might kill you. My grandfather and father were killed by him."

Upon hearing these words, the woman's body trembled.

I rely on ~!

This is a real fucking king of hell.

"We need to think about it and will give you an answer later," the woman continued.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my uncle first."

After finishing the novel, he walked directly through the wall and left.

The woman stood there and waited for a few seconds. Seeing that nothing special happened, she opened the door and rushed out.

Climb to the roof, lie down next to the man in charge of sentry, and look forward.

In the distance, I saw a field of white skeletons strutting across the road holding various weapons.

Some of the zombies that rushed forward were chopped to the ground like melons, and then they turned into skeletons and stood up.

It's like a dark soldier borrowing a road, weird and spooky.

"Damn, they must have followed us back, these damn ghosts." The man on guard cursed.

The woman's face remained serious and she didn't say much.

……

In the middle of the skeleton team.

Xiaoxiao flew back from a distance and recounted his conversation with the woman.

When I heard that the leader of the other party was a woman, I was somewhat surprised.

It’s not that women are worse than men.

Rather, in the current environment, men’s physical advantages are more likely to dominate.

Even if it’s just a small group of survivors.

Quite surprising too.

After listening to Xiaoxiao and the conversation between the two, Wu Heng still planned to take a look in person.

Xiao Xiao entered the body, and the situation in the auto repair shop also appeared in his mind.

A simple and messy room, dim light bulbs, a walkie-talkie on the table, and not much food.

Even if they arrange for people to go out to search for supplies, resources will definitely be scarce.

If the half bag of rice in the corner was their entire food reserve, they wouldn't be able to survive for a few days.

The fact that there is electricity has been thought of before.

The spears they hold need to be drilled and polished, which is difficult to complete without electrical equipment.

There should be a diesel or gasoline generator.

He released Xiaoxiao again and said, "Xiaoxiao, take Xiaohui over and ask her for a walkie-talkie."

"Oh, okay!" Xiaoxiao shouted to my back: "Xiaohui!"

Whoa!
Four dogs and a cat ran over together.

"Follow me." Xiaoxiao took the lead and flew forward, and the five animal skeletons ran out together.

……

The roof of the auto repair shop.

Li Yahong told several people what happened in the room just now.

When they heard that the controller of the skeleton group called himself the King of Hell and killed the little ghost's grandfather and father, everyone's face turned a little pale.

This kind of fear is stronger than facing zombies.

Now it doesn't matter whether the other person is a person with super powers or someone else.

The important thing is that the other party is targeting him.

Several people discussed the plan in low voices, and suddenly one person said with a cry in his voice: "The skeleton is coming."

Several people raised their heads and looked forward.

Then I saw several animal skeletons, running towards them in large strides.

"Holy shit, shit, a skeleton is coming. I can't run away anymore."

"What should we do? We may not be able to fight against them." "Let's go now, we still have a chance to rush out."

Li Yahong bandaged the wound on her shoulder and continued: "Let's go, nothing else, let's leave from the roof."

"Okay." Several people said, taking the necessary items and leaving.

And just when Li Yahong was leaving.

The ghost in the shape of a little girl emerged from the floor below, "Auntie, you are here. My uncle asked you to give him a walkie-talkie, and he will tell you himself."

intercom?
Li Yahong's steps suddenly stopped, as if she was stuck to the ground, but she kept walking.

Still facing behind him, he said: "Bring me a walkie-talkie."

One of them took off the walkie-talkie and handed it over.

Li Yahong put the walkie-talkie on the table, "Can you take it with you?"

"Xiao Hui!" Xiao Xiao shouted down again.

The skeleton cat jumped up from below and jumped directly to the roof.

"Take this."

The skeleton cat picked up the walkie-talkie, jumped ahead again, and ran away quickly.

……

In the rear team.

Wu Heng held the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button, "Can you hear me?"

There was a slight sound of electricity.

A woman's voice came, "Yes, what do you want?"

Wu Heng said directly: "I can provide you with a safe living space, and accordingly, you need to work for me."

There was no immediate response from the other party.

After a while, the sound of electricity and a woman's voice appeared again, "Thank you for your kindness. We won't stay here. We may have to leave soon."

leave?

Wu Heng glanced at the buildings in the distance.

In this case, if you reject the conditions for asylum, you should have planned your destination in advance.

"Where are you going?" Wu Heng asked.

"A gathering place for us humans."

You humans?

Wu Heng frowned, feeling that there was something wrong in these words.

Before Wu Heng could continue to ask, the other person spoke first, "We don't have any ill intentions and hope to maintain a peaceful relationship with you."

Wu Heng did not answer, and began to think in his heart.

His original development plan did not actually include human survivors, but with their participation, he could accomplish some things that the skeletons could not handle.

For example, generators, cutting and welding work.

He can't do it himself, and the skeleton can't do it either.

But now it seems that the other party has no intention of giving him a job.

Now there are only two ways to deal with it.

One is to capture people directly and make them work for themselves as prisoners.

The second is to find ways to cooperate with them and reach a deal with each other.

Let them fulfill their requirements through exchange.

The first is the most efficient and fastest way, but it will also leave many consequences. For example, these survivors think that they are exploited people and always want to resist.

And by doing this, I am actually breaking through some bottom lines.

Although it is the end of the world, your situation does not require you to do something that harms others.

The second is to let them do something for themselves in exchange.

In fact, there is no difference from the first type. The only thing is to provide some benefits so that they can see it as a reward for their labor.

In fact, there is not much difference between the two.

After thinking quickly in his mind, Wu Heng continued: "Now that you have a plan, I won't force it. We can make some transactions before departure to give you more capital."

"Hoo~!" A relieved voice came from the intercom, and then the woman asked: "What kind of deal."

"I'll trade food for iron spears, the kind you use."

"How to change?"

"100 handfuls, exchanged for a bag of grain."

"It's too much and it's not fair to us."

Wu Heng continued: "In this current environment, food can be exchanged for higher value in any human gathering place. Even if you go to a human gathering place, food is the only hard currency."

This is what Wu Heng guessed.

The only thing that can force survivors out to search is food shortage.

"There are too many, and we don't have enough iron pipes and materials in stock," the woman said.

Wu Heng said: "100 iron spears, you have a generator, and you don't have to rub them with your hands. It's not that difficult. I will provide you with the iron pipes and materials."

There was another brief silence on the other side.

But this time the tone was obviously not so firm, "One hundred handfuls, one bag of rice, five 5g bags of sugar, and anti-inflammatory drugs."

Wu Heng thought about it and realized there was no need to bargain, since he didn't lack these.

There's no place to put it.

Moreover, they chose the second one, which was not much different from the first. They provided their own food and materials, and they made iron spears for themselves.

It's just a different form.

"Okay, if the workmanship is good, I will give you five more bottles of canned meat."

"Yes, but we only have enough materials to complete more than 20 iron spears. We also need steel pipes and welding rods."

"I will provide it to you in these two days. Let's do this first."

"it is good."

After finishing the chat, Wu Heng looked again at the auto repair shop in front of him.

He led the team back to the water supply management office and raided nearby shops.

Then he took the body and the looted items and returned to the community where he lived.

……

After the skeleton army left, the few people on the roof of the auto repair shop breathed a sigh of relief.

A breeze blew by, and everyone shivered.

Only then did he realize that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"Sister Hong, do we really want to cooperate with skeletons?" asked a slightly younger person.

"Do you have a better way? Besides, what he said makes sense. Food is hard currency. It would be good for us to bring more to the gathering place."

Li Yahong clapped her hands and continued: "Okay, turn on the generator and prepare to make the iron spear."
