Chapter 399: The Overseer's Old Man
After arriving at the construction site, everyone was working barebacked. All of them turned dark after being exposed to the sun for more than ten days, and were dripping with sweat.
After seeing Lin Qiao and Yuan Tianxing coming, they all took a look at them.
Li Zheng and the others were in charge of the construction site, and when they saw the two of them, they greeted them.
When Li Zheng saw Lin Qiao, it was as if he had met a savior. Immediately said to her: "Hey, Miss Lu is finally back. Please get that one away..."
As he spoke, he pointed to an old man walking around the construction site with his hands behind his back...a zombie.
As soon as the others got close to him, their whole bodies became stiff, and their limbs became useless. But keep going, don't stop.
Lin Qiao had already sensed the old man's aura before he came, but when he came, he was just wandering around the construction site, as if he hadn't done anything.
Looking around, he found that this side crossed the area outside the river, which was the area she had given him to guard before.
The old man's Tang suit was still very clean, and I don't know how long he had worn it. Would he take it off and wash it by himself when no one was around? How else could it be so clean?
Seeing Lin Qiao looking towards him, the old man stopped immediately. Then he turned around and walked towards Lin Qiao.
As soon as Li Zheng saw him approaching, he immediately turned to the other direction of Lin Qiao. He said to her with a painful face: "You don't know, the day we came to start work, he came to stare at us. He scared a bunch of us to death that day, okay? Fortunately, Ms. Qiu Lili came to mediate. But Since then, he has come to stare at us every day. He doesn’t do anything, just wanders around the construction site with his hands behind his back, and whoever dares to be lazy. He will stand quietly in others’ houses with a calm expression on his face. Watch people."
Listening to what he said, Lin Qiao imagined those workers who were working and wanted to take a break. As a result, after standing for a while, I suddenly felt someone behind me. Looking back, he saw a zombie leader standing quietly behind him. It's scary, okay!
She looked at the old man amusedly, and asked, "You can't do this, it will hinder other people's work."
"Roar" the old man yelled at her very dissatisfied.
Because Lin Qiao was here, the others were not so afraid of the old man's zombie.
"What did he say?" Yuan Tianxing asked curiously.
Lin Qiao said: "He is still not convinced.
It is said that this is to supervise these people's work, if any one does not move. He would drag people away and eat them, and he was working as an overseer. "
Everyone around who heard Lin Qiao's words shuddered.
Lin Qiao looked at them amusedly, and then said: "I'm lying to you. If he wants to attack people, he doesn't need any reason. Do you think the zombies will give you reasons? Besides, I gave them an order .They don't hurt people."
Li Zheng and the others also knew that the zombies she brought would not hurt anyone, but just getting close would be scary, okay?
"Then...then what did he say just now?"
Lin Qiao said: "He just said that I still owe him ten days' worth of water."
The others looked at her blankly: "What water?"
Lin Qiao looked at the old man and said, "Take out your cup."
Then everyone saw the old man digging into the clothes behind him. Only after looking at it did he realize that there was an old man's bag under his loose clothes.
Then the old man took out the cup and held it out in front of Lin Qiao.
Huh? Change the cup!
Looking at the ceramic cup with a lid, Lin Qiao glanced at the old man in surprise.
But she didn't say anything, reached out to take his cup, then shook her hand, two seconds later. A glass full of water appeared in her hand.
She handed the cup to the old man, who took it.
Everyone thought he would drink it on the spot, but the old man took the cup. Cover it, turn around, and leave.
The others looked at him in a puzzled manner as he walked into a half-demolished building next to him and walked up to the second floor. Pass a chair on the second floor and sit down.
Only then did he see him holding water and drinking it gracefully.
"He is treating water as tea??" Everyone looked at Lin Qiao with strange expressions.
Lin Qiao shrugged and said, "Maybe."
Yuan Tianxing asked: "Do you still give them water every day? Zombies also drink water?"
Lin Qiao glanced at him and said, "Of course they don't drink ordinary water."
As she spoke, she walked to the construction site and looked at the location where the construction started. They're now in front of a bridge, which is where the gate to the inner zone is.
After observing the geographical situation, Lin Qiao didn't say anything.
Next to her, Yuan Tianxing told her about the progress of the work.
Anyway, what she could consider, Yuan Tianxing and the others had already considered it.
The surrounding buildings have been demolished. It is estimated that Yuan Tianxing, an earth-type supernatural being, did the demolition on such a large scale.
Lin Qiao looked at the small buildings nearby. They were all old buildings and houses from 20 or 30 years ago.
Yuan Tianxing seemed to know what she wanted the small building for, and suddenly said: "You want to take the small building into the space, why don't you go over there. There are all residential buildings here, with five to seven floors Tall buildings. If you go over there, there are relatively short independent small western-style buildings.”
Lin Qiao looked at the direction he was pointing at, and then looked this way. It is true that there are old buildings here, and the new ones are as high as five or six floors. And the short one looks like a dangerous building, and I'm afraid it has lived for a long time.
"Okay, let's go and have a look." She nodded and followed Yuan Tianxing.
Yuan Tianxing said to Lin Yu who was standing on the side: "Lin Yu, go and drive the car over. Let's go by car."
"Yes." Lin Yu replied, turned around and ran to the side of the construction site, and drove the black off-road vehicle over.
Lin Qiao and Yuan Tianxing got into the back seat, and then Lin Yu drove the car to the direction Yuan Tianxing pointed.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at a complex of buildings, all of which were independent two or three-story residential buildings. They are all built with their own money.
After Lin Qiao got out of the car, he saw that these buildings hadn't been built for ten years. It should have been built a few years before the end of the world, and it looks like it has just moved in and lived there not long ago.
"Well, the building here looks pretty good." Yuan Tianxing said to her after getting off the car.
Lin Qiao nodded. Although it is not a very high-end building, it looks solid.
No way, the villa area here is a bit far away.
Lin Qiao saw a building that was more pleasing to the eye, pointed to him and said, "This is the one. Go in and have a look."
Yuan Tianxing nodded and followed her to the gate downstairs.
The gate has two layers, an iron door on the outside and a solid wood door on the inside. The door wasn't broken, it was just left open. There are dark brown marks on the door and door panels, which are the most common marks in the most populated houses after the end of the world.
The dried blood has dried into this color after a few years.
