Raymond hugged his child and walked slowly towards the relief station of the Brotherhood of Steel. Beside him was his wife, who were holding hands tightly with dignified expressions. The child was crying in Raymond's arms, yelling 'Mom, don't go'. Neither couple responded, but their hearts were broken.

Raymond was originally a senior actuary, one of the top jobs in finance. He used to work for PricewaterhouseCoopers in New York, but now...he's nothing.

No one needs an accountant in the last days, let alone an actuary. He managed to survive the first half month of the apocalypse relying on a gun and a little food savings, but after escaping from Manhattan to Staten Island, he found it increasingly difficult for him to maintain his family.

Just a week ago, Raymond, who went out to look for food, returned empty-handed. His wife told him another bad news-his two-year-old son was starved to death, and his five-year-old eldest son could not hold on. That day the whole family hugged each other and cried bitterly, in despair and pain.

In the next week, Raymond, who was cornered, tried everything he could. He even killed people in order to get food, but it still couldn't feed a family of three. The eldest son was getting thinner and weaker, and his cheeks were getting sunken. Even though the husband and wife gave him all the food they got, the child still fainted from hunger several times and might die at any time.

When desperate, Raymond's wife offered to become a slave girl herself and sell herself for some food. There is a slave market near the Brotherhood of Steel's relief station, where many people sell themselves, and often a piece of bread can buy a person.

But what can a piece of bread do? It doesn't get the Raymonds off the hook. This proposal made him silent for a long time, and finally he could only nod in agreement. It may be the last thing a couple can do for their child.

When the wife said goodbye to the child, the five-year-old son didn't know how to react, and kept yelling, "Mom, don't go." But the wife can only respond with a wry smile and a kiss, there is no other way.

The relief station was no longer providing any relief, and there was a man standing under the wall of that building, all slaves trying to sell themselves. The last time Raymond came here, there were only two or three hundred people, but now there are thousands of people here.

The wife walked to the wall and expressed her willingness to sell herself, while Raymond stood a few meters away, and the couple looked at each other. The wife was laughing, Raymond was grimacing, and the child was crying, reaching out for a hug from his mother.

A gunman with a vicious face walked through the crowd, and many people looked at him. And this person looked down at the people by the wall with the arrogance of a gentleman. He focused on the woman, and when he walked in front of Raymond's wife, he reached out and grabbed Raymond's chest.

Raymond turned his face away,

He didn't want to listen to the haggling between his wife and the shooter, and it humiliated him. But he couldn't leave, and he had to take out the food he sold his wife for. The child was tired from crying and fainted from hunger again. This prevented the wife from holding on to the gunman for too long. She sold herself for only half a loaf of bread.

When the bread was delivered to Raymond, his wife kissed him and the child for the last time, and whispered in his ear: "Don't give up, dear Raymond, we will depend on you to take care of our children in the future. If it happens What a misfortune, I believe you have tried your best, see you in heaven."

Raymond had no tears for a long time, and his heart was broken like death at this moment.

The wife was taken away by the gunman. Raymond bit down half of the bread that was about to turn rancid, and fed it to the child, choking while feeding. The child ate something, and with a little strength, called 'Mom' again, but the mother was no longer around.

And what to do next? Raymond was completely out of ideas. He walked out slowly, and suddenly heard noise in the slave market, and the crowd was rushing in one direction.

"What happened?" Raymond couldn't help but followed the crowd, "Is there food distribution at the relief station?"

But Raymond heard an electric speaker shouting: "Go away, go away, we don't want ordinary labor this time, we need some senior talents. We need accountants, financial personnel, logistics managers, and intelligence analysts." .Who will do the bookkeeping? Tell me, who will do the bookkeeping? I need someone who is good at doing the bookkeeping right now."

This sound made Raymond feel like hearing the sound of nature. He ran to the electric speaker and shouted with all his strength: "I can make fake accounts. I am an actuary of PricewaterhouseCoopers. My greatest specialty is To make false accounts, I guarantee that it will be absolutely perfect, even the people from the IRS will not be able to find any flaws."

Raymond's roar even overwhelmed the sound of the electric horn. He knocked away several people, and rushed to the electric horn, "I, I, I, I can really make false accounts. I work for more than 100 large companies around the world. Falsified accounts. Trust me, I'm an expert on this."

The person with the electric horn glanced at Raymond, turned his head and said, "Then you stand behind me."

Raymond hugged the child and stuck tightly behind the person with the electric horn, and there were several soldiers with guns beside him, blocking the raging crowd.

The electric horn recruited a lot of people this time, and soon there were more than fifty people standing behind him. Some people interviewed these people on the spot, and gave them a piece of bread and water to drink when they passed.

Bread, bread, bread, the wife had sold half a loaf, and now Raymond had a loaf. He hurriedly approached the electric speaker and begged, "Please give me some time, I'm going to redeem my wife, she was just bought away."

"No, what should you do if you run away?" The electric speaker refused without hesitation.

"I swear I won't run, and my wife used to be a coordinator in New York Harbor, responsible for planning cargo transportation and vehicle allocation. Do you need a coordinator? Please hire my wife too." Raymond continued to beg.

The electric speaker pondered for a while, and finally agreed to Raymond's request, and sent someone to follow him to redeem his wife. Raymond quickly chased in the direction where his wife was being taken away, and saw his wife being raped in a building ruin a few hundred meters away.

"Wait, wait, I won't sell my wife. Return the bread to you. You just paid for half a piece of bread. Now I will use a piece of bread to redeem my wife." Raymond handed over the bread in his palm, However, during the strenuous running, most of the bread fell apart.

"You're teasing me!" The gunman who was enjoying himself angrily stood up with his pants up, and drew out his gun to kill Raymond. "No one can tease me."

Bang... a gunshot!

Raymond almost thought that this was the end for him, but he opened his eyes after a long time, and saw that the armed men who followed him were blowing on the muzzle of their guns, squinting and said to him: "You and your wife are the best!" It’s kind of useful, otherwise Miss Fox will kill your whole family.” (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please browse m reading for a better reading experience.
