Chapter 792 Demanding Debts
The mud below was being trampled.
Yingying and the little boy together hoisted a large piece of cement end wall.
"One, two, three!"
"Hoo!"
The cement wall was thrown out, smashing down below, and the ground shook with it.
Lawyer An didn't know where he'd found two small flags.
He stood on the side, waving and directing.
The whole scene
looked rather hardcore.
For this kind of civil engineering project, there's no problem that one zombie can't solve.
If that doesn't work,
just add another zombie!
In this world,
how many people can command two great zombies to work as bricklayers?
Lawyer An was actually a little excited at this moment. Although it felt like he was making a big deal out of nothing, he couldn't suppress the excitement.
You should know,
it wasn't just any ordinary walking corpse that he was ordering to move bricks.
That would be too degrading!
"We still haven't found the bodies. Are they not in this building's area?" the little boy suddenly asked.
"Well, this building is separate. Old Xu even set up a formation here before, so no one lives in this building. The previous residents are all in other buildings. The security guards have a special dormitory, and it's not here either.
Besides,
when the mudslide came down, it was directly buried. Even the houses were directly crushed. Do you know what living people would look like here?
Like a compressed biscuit,
*pa*,
directly flattened.
Those poor cats and dogs that are often run over by cars on the road,
if you're not careful at night,
they might be flattened into stickers by the next morning."
"Then we should still be able to smell some blood. Did you smell anything?" the little boy asked Yingying.
Yingying shook her head.
Zombies are very sensitive to the smell of blood.
"Let's not worry about that. It doesn't matter how many people died. It's important to clear out the place we need to go to first. If something goes wrong in there, that would really be a big problem."
Back then, when that thing was sealed in the cave, it could cause a zombie incident. If something went wrong and that guy came out, tsk tsk...
Lawyer An remembered what the boss had said: the reason why he was so good at fighting in his zombie state before was actually because he was cosplaying that guy's state at the time.
Seeing a leaf fall, one knows autumn is near;
it was enough to know how extreme that guy's temper was.
Yingying and the little boy continued to clear the area. They smashed small pieces directly with their fists, and threw large pieces far away.
Lawyer An stood by the side, observing carefully while directing.
Finally, he shouted:
"It's here, it's below here!
One person goes down,
one person stays up here to catch!
I put a safe door at the entrance, so don't worry about the mud pouring in!"
Now that he thought about it, Lawyer An admired his previous measures. Otherwise, if even the cracks in the door were filled with mud, the amount of dredging would have been really huge.
Hearing this, the little boy directly plunged into the mud below.
After that,
rebar and cement were constantly thrown out from below.
Yingying caught them on top and threw them directly in other directions.
The efficiency was further accelerated.
Lawyer An watched from the side and felt a little sorry.
Finally,
when the little boy resurfaced,
he shook his head
and said:
"I saw the safe. It's down there."
"Alright!"
Lawyer An made an "OK" gesture.
"Everyone has worked hard. Go take a shower."
Lawyer An felt that he was really a black-hearted supervisor.
He didn't even arrange a boxed lunch for them, and there were no shower tickets either.
Of course,
the most black-hearted was the contractor who was sitting on top, watching the scenery and spacing out.
Huh?
Where's the black-hearted contractor?
He was just there!
Lawyer An looked around with some doubts, but still couldn't find Zhou Ze.
"Where's the boss?" Yingying asked.
"Don't worry. Maybe he went to find a place to relieve himself. Let's quickly find a place to clean up and rest."
Since Zhou Ze left on his own, then he must be confident in solving something. Moreover, Lawyer An also knew that the two zombies beside him had just consumed too much energy and really needed to recover.
…………
Zhou Ze didn't go far.
He just walked back towards the mountain col.
Zhou Ze stopped on a rock not far from the highway below.
The business van was still parked there quietly.
However,
below the cliff behind the van,
came the sound of a *suona*.
Before,
Zhou Ze had followed this sound to get here. And now, the sound was very clear.
He squatted down,
lit a cigarette.
Boss Zhou wasn't in a hurry.
Just like when Lawyer An came to lead the charge, he had thought that there must be unusual factors in this matter.
How could Boss Zhou not know what was going on in his heart?
But no matter what,
he came.
He was here.
That half of his face was too important to Ying Gou.
Even if this was a very obvious hook,
he had no other choice.
He could only open his mouth and bite.
Since he had to face it no matter what, there was no need to panic. Just face it head-on.
The sound of the *suona* began to become tactful and cheerful.
Immediately afterwards,
Zhou Ze saw a group of people in red clothes walking upright up the cliff face below.
Zhou Ze had seen this scene before.
When Madam Bai asked her little ghost subordinates to invite Xu Qinglang to the bookstore,
it was also this routine.
However,
this time there was no bridal sedan behind them,
but a black coffin.
The coffin was bright and new.
When it was carried onto the road,
the ground also sank a lot because of it.
In an instant,
the sound of the *suona* stopped.
"Bang!"
The coffin landed
and sank half a meter into the ground.
Zhou Ze continued to smoke and watch. He wanted to see what tricks they could play.
Zhou Ze couldn't tell whether those people in red clothes with thick rouge on their faces were little ghosts or puppet paper dolls. Of course, that wasn't the point.
No matter how strangely the small fries are shaped, they are not the main characters.
"Crack..."
The group of red-clothed people began to exert their strength together.
After a burst of friction,
the coffin lid was pushed open halfway.
From inside, a cloud of white smoke rose,
a bit like opening a freezer in the middle of summer.
A person was carried out of the coffin by this group of red-clothed people and placed on the road next to the van.
This person was wearing gray clothes. They were very baggy. They didn't look like official robes, nor were they any special armor. They really looked like pajamas...
Boss Zhou narrowed his eyes.
What does this mean?
Did this Boss come out with such a lack of fanfare?
Next,
was the second corpse,
wearing casual clothes, also placed on the road.
The one in casual clothes had long hair. Zhou Ze was a little far away, so he couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.
Could it be,
a couple's tomb?
Was it so impressive
that the Bosses who came out were a couple?
Then,
the third corpse was carried out.
Boss Zhou raised his head slightly.
So open-minded!
Then,
the fourth corpse!
Playing so happily!
The fifth corpse,
the sixth corpse!
Was this a mass burial, even in death they wanted to hold a feast?
The seventh corpse,
...
The tenth corpse,
the eleventh corpse,
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhou Ze coughed.
Now,
he was no longer shocked,
but felt a little absurd.
In the middle of the night, in this desolate wilderness,
was he, like an idiot,
squatting here smoking and watching a "grand transformation" magic trick?
In fact, real coffins are definitely much larger than ordinary people imagine, and the space inside is also quite large.
If you don't consider issues such as space comfort and personal privacy, it is perfectly possible to fit three or four corpses in a large coffin.
But now there were more than ten corpses. How were they stuffed in?
This was really performing magic.
It wasn't until the end,
when three people in security uniforms were carried out one after another,
that Zhou Ze suddenly understood.
These,
were the people who should have been buried below in the mudslide.
Now,
one by one, one by one,
they were all put out.
So,
was this,
returning things to their original owners?
Were these people dead or alive?
Zhou Ze suddenly felt a little distressed.
Because he remembered that Lawyer An had told him before,
that he had already paid compensation for the security guards who had an accident. If these people weren't dead...
What a loss.
Perhaps it was because he was too relaxed, Boss Zhou actually had the mood to think about these things at this time.
A total of sixteen people were placed side by side on the road. Each person was of a different height, but their feet were on the same parallel line.
It seemed that these little ghosts also had obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Zhou Ze lit another cigarette,
waiting to see the next performance.
However,
the group of people in red clothes below all silently lined up together.
One of them, holding a *suona*,
began to slowly walk up the hillside,
and,
was walking towards him.
Boss Zhou continued to squat, not standing up,
watching the person holding the *suona* walk up to him.
The other party smiled,
that kind of stiff smile
was actually more hair-raising than an angry roar.
The other party bowed to Zhou Ze,
and then picked up the *suona*
and began to play again.
Zhou Ze had just heard this sound at a funeral in Tongcheng yesterday.
To be honest, the funeral master who played the *suona* at the funeral yesterday was far worse than the one in front of him. This one played with such melancholy and twists and turns that if it were recorded, it might even become the "Erquan Yingyue" of the *suona* world.
And this person's identity was more mysterious than the blind Abing.
When the song ended,
the other party smiled and bowed to Zhou Ze again with strong flattery.
Boss Zhou clapped his hands
and responded.
Played well, great oral skills.
Then,
the other party pointed to the row of people lying below,
and pointed to the *suona* in his hand,
and spread out his palm towards Zhou Ze.
What?
After waiting for a while,
Zhou Ze reached out and shook hands with the other party.
"..." *Suona* Little Ghost.
The other party rubbed his fingers together
and continued to smile at Zhou Ze.
"Oh, you should have said so earlier." Zhou Ze patted his forehead.
The other party smiled embarrassedly, spreading his palm again.
Zhou Ze extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand
and placed it in the other party's palm,
saying:
"Don't be polite, take it back and smoke it."
