Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 334 The Unpopular Old Man
After entering the city, Ning Qiu and the others were originally foreigners, who were easy to attract the attention of others, but there was a "celebrity" named Aiken beside him, which immediately attracted many people to watch.

"Look! Isn't that poor Erken?"

"Dirty, disgusting!"

"Who are these young people? Why are they with the beggar Aiken?"

Ning Qiu walked beside Aiken, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

"It's really unlucky to meet this old man when I just went out today."

"Isn't it? Every time I see this bad old man, I feel that something bad is about to happen."

"People who live in the cemetery every day, can have good luck!"

"Damn old man! Get out! We don't want to see you."

Aiken didn't change his face, and seemed to be deaf to the discussions around him.

But Ning Qiu on the side was angry when he heard it, even Jiang Ling and the three behind him couldn't stand it anymore.

Ning Qiu has one advantage: he has a big temper.

When he went up, he caught a strong man and picked him up.

"What the hell is he eating shit, right? His mouth is so stinky, try saying another word if you have the guts? I promise I won't beat you to death."

That strong man was tall and burly, but when he met Ning Qiu's eyes, his whole body couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing this, Yin Jie hurried up to stop him.

This is someone else's country, it's better not to cause trouble.

But Aiken, who was the person involved, just walked over without looking back, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

Ning Qiu left the strong man behind, thinking that this old man is still serious?
"You... don't go, you wait for me." The strong man pointed at Ning Qiu's nose and shouted loudly.

Ning Qiu snorted coldly and didn't take it seriously at all.

When I came to the local grain management department, this department is actually very leisurely on weekdays. I just move a chair to chat and fart when I have nothing to do.

Elken comes here once a month and is a frequent visitor here.

And the staff here, almost all know this old man.

The reason why Eken can come here to receive food is because a senior local government official personally approved it 70 years ago.

It's just that after so many years, many people have actually forgotten why the government provided free food to the old man.

From the point of view of these people now, most of the time it is the government that sees the old man as pity and gives him alms.

"Hey! Isn't this poor Aiken? He's begging for food again?" a staff member said.

Aiken chuckled, but didn't answer.

The staff member took out the registration form and looked at it, and said with a sneer, "It seems that it has only been 28 days since you came to beg for food last time, less than a month?"

Aiken nodded, and said politely: "I didn't get much last time, so I finished eating soon."

The staff member looked displeased, threw the registration form in his hand, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you food."

"For...why?"

"Because it hasn't been a full month?"

Just as Aiken was about to speak, the man interrupted: "Okay, stop talking, let's go. Look at your stinky body, it really pollutes the air here."

Because Aiken has always been receiving food once a month.

In fact, the senior government official at the time meant that as long as he needed it, he could come here to get food and water at any time, even if he wanted money.

It's just that Elkem has been receiving it once a month over the years.

Over time, the staff here thought they were giving him food once a month.

Ning Qiu was standing behind Aiken at this time, and the expression on his face was not very good.

Anyway, this is an old man in his 90s who was treated like this.

Most importantly, Elkem is certainly not simple.

The Awakened are the main force against zombies. Look at the Awakened in this city, which one is not like a noble.

As a result, Aiken was reduced to the point of begging, and he was looked down upon everywhere.

Ning Qiu really couldn't figure it out, as long as he showed his strength, he could receive noble treatment.

Why is that?
But Aiken shook his head, signaled Ning Qiu not to make trouble here with his eyes, then turned and left.

Ning Qiu chased after him and asked, "They won't give you food, so what will you do in the next few days?"

Aiken sighed, and said, "I'll go and see if there are any edible corpses outside the city. If I'm lucky, I might be able to catch one. It won't be a problem for two or three days."

Ning Qiu had tasted the taste of corpse beasts, only a few corpse beasts were of acceptable quality, and the rest were like chewing wax.

After Aiken left the city of St. Paul, the four of them were thoughtful.

"Do you think you can't figure it out?" Yin Jie said suddenly.

"Well, I really can't figure it out." Mu Xin nodded, and said again, "Why is such a powerful old man treated like this, and why is he willing to stay in a cemetery?"

Ning Qiu didn't speak, but felt grief and indignation for Aiken in his heart.

Just as they were about to leave, they were surrounded by a group of people, looking menacing.

Seeing this, the passers-by around quickly hid away, as if they were very afraid of this group of people.

It was the strong man who brought these people over. He pointed to Ning Qiu and said, "Boy, don't you want to know who I am? It's bad luck for you to offend me today."

As a result, Ning Qiu didn't even look at him, and just walked past him.

"How dare you run?" The strong man strode forward, punching his face.

There was a muffled sound, and a figure flew out backwards.

The surrounding air suddenly became extremely cold, as if entering an ice cellar.

Ning Qiu said with a sullen face, "I'm in a bad mood today, don't mess with me."

After speaking, he walked over from the crowd.

At the beginning, this group of people was aggressive, but when Ning Qiu released his murderous aura, many people's legs became weak in fright, and some timid ones even got their crotches wet.

It's nothing more than a group of local street gangsters who bully the weak because of the number of people. Whenever they encounter a tyrannical one, they will be cowed on the spot.

……

It was getting late, and Aiken didn't find a single edible corpse outside the city.

This place in North America was originally sparsely populated. After the outbreak of the end of the world, the concentration of zombies was not very high.

Especially in the area of ​​St. Paul City, the zombies have been cleaned up, and it is not bad to meet corpse beasts, let alone edible corpse beasts.

When he returned to the Tomb of the God of War, he found a figure standing outside his cabin.

"Young man, don't worry about me, an old man. I will definitely not give you the slate." Aiken walked over.

Ning Qiu was carrying a large bag of food and water, which he bought after exchanging corpse cores for currency.

"It doesn't matter, I just want to hear your old story." Ning Qiu said very calmly.

From his eyes, Aiken could see that this young man was indeed harmless.

"I bought a few bottles of good wine, do you want to drink?"

"Okay! I haven't had a drink for many years, and I feel a little greedy when you say it." Aiken laughed.
