I Am Carrying Gold From the Post-Apocalyptic World

Chapter 45: The Eve of Action

After Boss Jin arrived, he immediately gathered everyone together, then made his way to the high platform surrounded by bodyguards.

Boss Jin looked to be in his forties, with a slightly plump figure. As he walked, his hips swayed left and right like a duck, which was so comical that Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Yesterday, I received some news. There's an underground warehouse in the North Side of the City. I need to recruit a group of brave souls. Anyone who participates and returns will get a bowl of white rice, and if there's a harvest, you can even have some wine!"

Upon hearing there would be white rice and wine, everyone's eyes lit up, but the thought of the zombie horde in the North Side made them a bit hesitant.

The zombie horde in the North Side was no joke, with over a million zombies gathered there, making it a place of no return. Everyone hesitated for a moment.

Li Dazhu knew this was an opportunity, but he didn't raise his hand rashly. He turned to look at Wang Bin.@@novelbin@@

Wang Bin thought for a moment and nodded to Li Dazhu.

Li Dazhu, after receiving Wang Bin's signal, didn't raise his hand immediately. He was waiting for someone else to do it first.

If he was the first to raise his hand, it would draw attention. From now on, they needed to keep a low profile and not attract any attention.

Eventually, someone unafraid of death raised their hand. Once there was a first, there was a second, and soon seven or eight people had raised their hands.

Wang Bin felt it was about time and gently nudged Li Dazhu, after which the four of them raised their hands.

Boss Jin was surprised to see Li Dazhu raise his hand because, in his impression, Li Dazhu was very low-key and rarely participated in outings, and even if he did, he acted alone.

However, recalling the doctor's report about Li Xiaolu's high fever a few days ago, he figured Li Dazhu was just worried about his sister and wanted to get some medicine for her, so he didn't think much of it.

"If you won't work for me, then you can just die. Once you're dead, your sister will be mine, haha!"

Thinking of this, Boss Jin couldn't help but want to laugh, but seeing the hundreds of people below watching him, he managed to hold it in.

A burly man beside Boss Jin, seeing that not many people had raised their hands, shouted loudly, "The spots are limited to fifty people, so if you delay, you won't get a chance!"

With that, many more people raised their hands.

"Very well, those are the ones. Now go register with the clerk. We depart at eight tomorrow morning sharp. I don't want anyone being late. Meeting adjourned!"

After speaking, Boss Jin couldn't be bothered to stay any longer and left with his bodyguards, swaying his hips as he went.

Wang Bin let Li Dazhu walk ahead, and soon they reached the middle-aged woman who had registered them last time and completed their registration.

After Li Dazhu registered, an elderly man with white hair approached them on their way back.

"Dazhu, you shouldn't have signed up!"

"Ah, Uncle Zhao, why not?"

"Who are they?"

"Oh, they just arrived a few days ago and are my friends. If you have something to say, just say it."

"It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go back and talk!" The old man glanced around, whispered, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.

Soon, they reached the old man's room. Before entering, he looked around again to ensure no one was nearby, then went inside and closed the door.

"Uncle Zhao, why did you say that earlier?" On the way there, Wang Bin had signaled to Li Dazhu not to reveal their plan, so he pretended to know nothing.

"Dazhu, do you know how dangerous it is out there?"

"I know, it's just zombies, right? Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

"I'm not talking about the zombies, but Boss Jin and his men. Do you know where Dongzi ended up?"

"Where?"

"That night, I went for a walk and accidentally saw them secretly carrying Dongzi's body to the kitchen. The next day, we had meat to eat! As I looked at the meat on my plate, tears came to my eyes. Since then, every time there's an action, we have meat the next day. Do you think it's a coincidence? I don't want to eat your meat in a few days. You're still young, and you have a sister to take care of. I don't want anything to happen to you both!" The old man said, tears streaming down his face.

To survive, the old man chose to hide this fact. Was he wrong?

No, in the apocalypse, everyone has their way of surviving. If he didn't eat, he'd starve, and if he spoke out, his meat might be on someone else's plate the next day.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Li Dazhu almost revealed their plan again, but Wang Bin stopped him with a look.

Finally, they left the old man's room with heavy hearts. Back in their room, Li Dazhu asked Wang Bin why they couldn't tell Uncle Zhao.

Wang Bin's answer was that he couldn't entrust Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao's lives to him, but he promised that if there was a chance tomorrow, he'd take Uncle Zhao with them. Now was not the time.

"The priority now is to get Xiaolu out."

"How? There are guards at the gate, and without a valid reason, they won't let my sister out."

"Climb over the wall!"

"Alright!"

"But you have to stay behind, just in case something happens. Don't worry, we'll be back before dawn."

"Okay, fine!"

After making their plans, they waited for nightfall. At eleven, they quietly sneaked out to a section of the wall.

Wang Bin once again demonstrated his Crossing the River on a Reed skill, leaving Li Dazhu speechless in awe.

Soon, Li Xiaolu was outside the wall, and with Wang Bin and the others escorting her, they headed towards Li Chengping's place.

After a few days of rest, Li Xiaolu was much better and didn't trouble Wang Bin much.

There were many zombies around, and it took Wang Bin and the others three hours to return to their hideout.

Bao and Little Nan, hearing Wang Bin and the others return, got up from their sleep to check on them, surprised to see an older sister with them.

"Uncle Wang, who is she?"

"Her name is Li Xiaolu, and from now on, she's your sister. Li Jie isn't well, so you must take good care of her!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Wang, we'll take good care of Sister Li."

"Alright, it's late. Take Sister Li to sleep. We have things to discuss."

"Okay, Uncle Wang!"

"Xiaolu, go on, make yourself at home here. Bao and the others will take good care of you."

"Thank you!"

Once Li Xiaolu left, Wang Bin recounted the events of the past few days and their plan for tomorrow.

Li Chengping wanted to help, but Wang Bin stopped him, telling him to take care of the kids so they could focus on their task.

They talked for a while longer, and seeing it was late, Wang Bin and the others quietly returned.
