Chen Zhiguang looked at Zhao Li. Waving his hand he said: “No time! Scram!”
As the Long Hai City survivor base admittance personnel, Chen Zhiguang had encountered several big bosses. Before Z-Age Zhao Li had money and status, but now she had neither.
Zhao Li’s face turned white, and her eyes flashed with hopelessness. If she couldn’t turn that suitcase of RMB into food stamps, then it was just a box of useless paper. She was very clear about this point. Without food stamps in her hand, she didn’t know how long she could survive in Long Hai City.
“Help her exchange!” Yue Zhong plainly said while looking at Chen Zhiguang.
“Yes! Brother Yue!” Chen Zhiguang immediately replied with respect, then he called over a worker and commanded him: “Little Lin, take this woman and go exchange for food stamps.”
Little Lin arrogantly looked at Zhao Li. He coldly said: “Follow me!”
“Thank you!” Zhao Li stooped and expressed thanks to Yue Zhong. She finally grabbed her suitcase and follow little Lin, leaving the area.
“Brother Yue, follow me! I’ll bring you all to your residences.” Chen Zhiguang said with a pleasing look towards Yue Zhong.
Z-Age follows the laws of the jungle. Chen Zhiguang relied on his status as a civil servant to strut around in front of ordinary survivors. But before the powerful people of Long Hai City, he had no such swagger. Chen Zhiguang didn’t have much clout in Long Hai City survivor base, therefore he was always looking for someone to be his supporter.
Chen Zhiguang wanted to cling onto Yue Zhong to climb in power. Yue had strange abilities and also other strong people who followed him. If he could become Yue Zhong’s trusted aide, then his power in Long Hai City survivor base could become consolidated. He was willing to receive humiliation in order to receive help.
Walking on the street, Chen Zhiguang apologized to Yue Zhong: “Brother Yue, today’s matter, it is my fault! I have eyes, yet I failed to recognize Mount Tai. I have greatly offended you, please forgive me.”
Yue Zhong plainly said: “The matter is in the past.”
Chen Zhiguang’s gave Yue Zhong face: “Brother Yue, can I mix in with you? I don’t have any big sway, but I can navigate the back alleys. If there is anything you are unclear about, just ask me.”
Da Gouzi saw Chen Zhiguang’s sudden turn, and he coldly mocked: “Your face is really thick!”
[TL: Having a thick face means someone is shameless.]
As if Chen Zhiguang didn’t hear, he continued to wait upon Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong considered a moment, then immediately said: “Okay!”
Although he got the rough introduction from Wang Hai about Long Hai City, he could still use a detailed explanation. One that couldn’t be said in a short period of time.
Chen Zhiguang was joyful: “Thank you brother Yue! Thank you brother Yue!”
Under the guidance of Chen Zhiguang, Yue Zhong’s group arrived at their residence——The building was a five-story piece of junk in a shantytown.
Every floor had three rooms. Inside there was nothing but a bed and a toilet.
Outside of that building was an ordinary house. There were several trees planted around it, some abandoned farmland, and a small pool.
Chen Zhiguang’s apologetically said: “I’m sorry brother Yue! Jobless survivors can only live in remote places like this.”
Chen Zhiguang was certainly not a high up official. Naturally he couldn’t arrange a nice place for Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong nodded and didn’t say anything.
