Jia Sheng closed his eyes and waited quietly. He didn't know how the people in the car would treat him, but no matter what the outcome was, he didn't care.
As he said, as long as the great revenge is avenged and the black market is destroyed, he will no longer have to worry about the future, whether he lives or dies.
Gu Zhuo looked at the man standing in front of the car, then looked at the time. It was almost evening. He sighed and said:
"My name is Gu Zhuo, and I have no grudges against you. I won't do anything to you. It's going to be night soon, and I don't know if there will be monsters here in Qidong. Can you understand?
Tell me everything!"
After hearing this, Jia Sheng waited until he was no longer hostile to him, then he opened his eyes, nodded, and answered him:
"sure."
Looking at the darkness getting deeper and deeper, Gu Zhuo remembered that there were materials he needed in the market, so he suggested:
"Go inside the store to talk, it's safer inside!"
Although one wall of the store has been knocked down by Jia Sheng, there is still a big truck supporting it, and it does look safer than the empty night outside.
"OK!"
Jia Sheng responded and did not go to get the rifle on the ground. Instead, he walked straight into the store. Gu Zhuo drove the Doomsday Fortress and slowly followed him and entered the store together.
As soon as he entered the store, Jia Sheng chose a place that was a little less cluttered and sat down.
Gu Zhuo saw that the store was full of corpses of all kinds, and he was afraid that Jia Sheng had just carried out a cleansing massacre here.
Jia Sheng didn't hide anything. He sat on the ground, put his hands on the ground, leaned back slightly, glanced around, and then said:
"It is true that I killed these people, but they all deserve to be killed. Basically there is no innocent guy who can enter the black market."
These words made Gu Zhuo feel uncomfortable. After all, he was also one of the people who had just prepared to trade on the black market.
Unexpectedly, Jia Sheng seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. He glanced at him and smiled:
"Of course, you are taken advantage of. Only the fat sheep they identify will be ripped off like you are today. I have seen too many. Most of those fat sheep entered this city by mistake and were deceived.
, saying that there is everything here, in fact, they are just the warehouses moved by those old foxes.
"But you are awesome. After being ripped off, you destroyed this place. If it weren't for you, I might not have a chance to take revenge in the future. I have to thank you."
After listening to Jia Sheng's words, Gu Zhuo became even more confused about his identity. He couldn't help but ask:
"Who are you?"
When Jia Sheng heard this, he opened his sleeves, raised his arms, and showed his iron-blue mark to Gu Zhuo who was sitting in the car:
"I am a slave brought here for trade. I should have been sold today. If it hadn't been for you causing a commotion, I'm afraid everything would have been settled after that injection."
After saying that, Jia Sheng put down his sleeves and
"I was the last slave to be sold. I have been in this black market with that guy for a long time, so I know a lot more."
Gu Zhuo asked:
"What's going on with this black market?"
Jia Sheng gave a rare sigh and said:
"After I escaped from Qingshui..."
Clear water!
This name caught Gu Zhuo's attention. The man in front of him actually escaped from Qingshui! He must know a lot about Qingshui.
Gu Zhuo interrupted him:
"Did you escape from Qingshui?"
Jia Sheng was stunned for a moment, nodded and answered him:
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Can you start with Qingshui, why did you escape there, and what happened there."
Gu Zhuo was very concerned about Qingshui. After all, he still longed for that unique place that could be used as a base.
Jia Sheng nodded:
"Okay, but just wait a moment."
After saying that, he stood up from the ground and seemed to be looking for something around him.
He walked up to the corpse of a soldier on the ground, rummaged around on him, and finally found a pack of cigarettes with a few remaining cigarettes and a lighter.
He took out the cigarette, held it in his mouth, and then lit the cigarette butt with a lighter. First, he took a deep breath, and then he began to slowly tell the story of what happened to Qingshui and him.
...
Jia Sheng was a native of Qingshui. Before the end of the world, he was a well-known boxer and had represented his country in competitions.
When the apocalypse first came, he lived with his girlfriend Lei Xiaohan, and the two depended on each other. However, this kind of life was not the same. Soon, all the food stored in the family was almost eaten up, and the weather became colder and colder.
.The worst thing is that they have cut off all contact with the outside world.
Just when the two of them felt desperate and Jia Sheng decided to take the risk and go out to find some food, a group of people in black robes suddenly appeared on the street where they were.
The group of people in black robes played radio broadcasts on the street. They told everyone that they had taken over the city on behalf of the government and hoped that citizens could come out of their homes. They also promised to provide warmth to all surrendered citizens.
shelter and food.
In that situation, the instinct of survival overwhelmed everything else, and Jia Sheng and Lei Xiaohan were no exception. They all surrendered to these black-robed men. It was at that moment that Jia Sheng knew that these black-robed men were all affiliated with
A religion he had never heard of:
Prophetic teaching.
Jia Sheng has always been an atheist. He doesn't care about prophets or not, as long as he can survive.
At the beginning, the Prophetic Cult did fulfill its promise to them, allowing them to live in a large collective dormitory and providing them with food. Although the dormitory was very crowded and the food provided was very simple, being able to survive was a blessing among misfortunes.
And these people naturally don't eat and drink for free, they have to work for the Prophetic Religion.
The Prophetic Cult seems to have been building some kind of building. Jia Sheng has to go out to transport materials and deliver scraps every day. Basically, he has never rested except for eating and sleeping. His girlfriend Lei Xiaohan is in the same situation.
Such a regular and mechanical life lasted for less than half a month, until one day, four more priests appeared out of nowhere in the Prophetic Cult.
One of the priests took charge of them.
That was an extremely cruel priest. Since he took over them, he beat, cursed, and humiliated them at every turn. Not only that, their food became less and less, and in the end they only had one meal a day.
Just forget it like this, Jia Sheng can bear everything for Lei Xiaohan.
Until one day, Lei Xiaohan collapsed in the middle of her work because she could not keep up with nutrition for a long time. At that time, the priest thought that she was useless, so he personally took a whip and beat her legs continuously.
While beating her, he threatened that if she didn't stand up again, her legs would be broken alive.
As Lei Xiaohan's boyfriend, and more importantly as a man, Jia Sheng couldn't bear it, threw away the materials he was carrying, rushed over and snatched away the priest's whip.
When the priest saw this, although he was angry, he was not in a hurry to let his men in black robes subdue him. He asked Jia Sheng:
"Who is this woman to you?"
Jia Sheng grabbed the whip and stood in front of Lei Xiaohan. He refused to give in and answered him:
"She is my woman. If she makes any mistake, you can come and beat me. I am willing to take the punishment for her."
The priest seemed to find his actions and words ridiculous. He snorted coldly, looked at him, and said:
"She is your woman? Do you know that we don't raise waste here? I didn't let anyone come over to carry her away and throw her outside into the ice and snow. I have done my best!"
Jia Sheng looked at him and said nothing. He still held the whip tightly and suppressed the anger in his heart.
The priest looked him up and down and saw that even with very little food, Jia Sheng still maintained a strong body and was a rare high-quality labor force. He suddenly said:
"If you want to protect her, fine, I'll give you a chance. From now on, you can do the work of two people and do your girlfriend's share. And even if it's time to rest and others are resting, you have to continue.
Fuck it! You have to pay back all the money your girlfriend owes! Are you willing?"
After hearing this, Lei Xiaohan lay on the ground. Although she was in pain, she still maintained her rationality and tried to muster the strength to speak to Jia Sheng:
"Jia Sheng, don't promise him. I'm a waste and I've brought you down..."
Jia Sheng looked at the sinister face of the priest in front of him, and then at Lei Xiaohan lying on the ground. He almost agreed without hesitation:
"I'll do it! From now on, I will bear all Lei Xiaohan's share!"
"very good!"
The priest nodded with satisfaction and hooked his hand.
"Then give me my whip first."
Jia Sheng loosened the whip, walked over, and handed the whip back to the priest.
The priest touched the whip and sneered with Jia Sheng:
"Okay, go help your little girlfriend up. After you help her up, you can go to work. Don't think about being lazy. Otherwise, your girlfriend may have to lie in the snow alone.
."
"Understood."
Jia Sheng nodded.
He was already furious in his heart, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. If he were alone now and had no worries, then he would go up and beat the priest without hesitation, but not now, he still has to protect Lei Xiaohan
.
Helping Lei Xiaohan back to the dormitory, Lei Xiaohan kept crying. She didn't cry when she was whipped just now, but now she couldn't stop crying.
"Jia Sheng, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm useless..."
She kept apologizing to Jia Sheng, apologizing non-stop.
"It's okay, Xiaohan, as long as I'm still alive, I will definitely protect you, don't worry."
Jia Sheng kept comforting her, never thinking about how miserable and tired he would be in the future.
When Lei Xiaohan heard his words, she couldn't help it anymore and threw herself into his arms and started crying. Jia Sheng held Lei Xiaohan in his arms, patted her trembling back gently, and recalled what happened just now.
After encountering the ugly face of the priest, a thought suddenly came to his mind:
He wanted to take Lei Xiaohan to escape from Qingshui. He knew there was a perfect place!
