The Downfall of Gold

It was clear that these soldiers were also aware of the current situation in Sha City.

Upon hearing this, the three thugs immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

If the soldiers from the Sha City garrison discovered a robbery, they would directly arrest the perpetrators and take them to the nearby security bureau.

It was said that the security bureau in the vicinity had been overcrowded these past two days.

Anyone who thought that the current security bureau was the same as the one before the apocalypse, providing food and lodging, was sorely mistaken.

Those arrested would be crammed into a cell with dozens of others.

No food, no bedding.

While dozens of people huddled together might not freeze to death, the filth, disorder, and constant hunger, not to mention the uncertainty of how long they would be held, made the ordeal truly terrifying.

Of course, one could resist, but the consequence of resistance was death.

And those who killed would be shot on the spot.

The three thugs turned to stare intently at Lin Shi.

Qian Liangliang, who was blocked behind a thug, had a look of wild joy on his face, screaming in his heart:

Damn it, blink, and I can be saved too!!

Just when everyone thought Lin Shi would call for help,

Lin Shi glanced in the direction of Qian Liangliang, and due to his position, he caught sight of Qian Liangliang's ecstatic expression.

He shook his head at the soldiers:

"I am not being held hostage."

The wild joy on Qian Liangliang's face froze, revealing a look of disbelief.

The three thugs were secretly surprised, but they all let out a sigh of relief.

At that moment, another cry for help came from the street outside, with someone shouting loudly:

"Help!"

The lead soldier's expression tightened, and without time to consider the strange atmosphere among the five, he quickly led his team outside.

After the soldiers left, the three thugs resumed their fierce expressions,

One of them said to Qian Liangliang, who was staring at Lin Shi as if he had a grudge against his father:

"Take off your clothes and shoes, and get out!"

Qian Liangliang had thought that he had missed the chance to ask the soldiers for help and was as good as dead.

Seeing that the three were really going to let him go, he didn't care about the cold and quickly took off his clothes and shoes.

He could guarantee that he had never undressed so quickly, not even the first time he got into bed.

While undressing, he looked at Lin Shi with a sense of satisfaction, mouthing to Lin Shi:

Serves you right!

Another one said to Lin Shi:

"Kid, look, we only want your money, not your life.

Considering your good behavior just now.

Take off all your clothes and hat, and then your dog..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in his neck, and the rest of his words were lost.

Qian Liangliang, with his head down, was undressing,

Suddenly, he heard the sound of something heavy hitting the snow beside him, and he looked over.

What he saw was a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

He saw the three men, who were just fierce, now all lying on the ground, their bodies and heads forever separated.

The expressions on their heads were still fierce, as if they had not realized they were already dead.

Qian Liangliang instantly reacted, and he finally knew why Lin Shi had not asked the soldiers for help just now.

Because it was not necessary.

Seeing the cold look in Lin Shi's eyes, Qian Liangliang couldn't even care about his pants being half off, and he knelt on the snowy ground with a "plop," begging for mercy with his head on the ground:

"Brother, spare my life! Brother, spare my life!"

Lin Shi naturally wouldn't let go of someone who dared to be against him, and his knife swiftly chopped towards Qian Liangliang's neck.

At this moment, as if realizing he was undoubtedly going to die, Qian Liangliang suddenly had a moment of divine inspiration and blurted out:

"Big brother! I know a place with a lot of gold!"

Lin Shi's hand, ready to strike, halted and instead rested the knife on Qian Liangliang's neck,

his eyes narrowing slightly, glaring at Qian Liangliang with murderous intent:

"How did you know I need gold?"

"Big brother, the incident where you took your big dog out to smash a gold shop and killed a monster has already spread around here.

Hehe, I heard about it too."

Qian Liangliang's mouth twisted in a mix of crying and laughing, cold sweat on his forehead kept emerging and quickly turned into frost.

Soon, his head was covered in white.

Lin Shi said: "You know where there's a large amount of gold?"

"I know, I know! I used to work in a unit, my boss, he has a habit of buying gold, and..."

Saying this, Qian Liangliang's tone hesitated slightly.

Lin Shi impatiently interrupted:

"Are you playing with me?! How much gold can one person buy, and is the gold of the person you mentioned more than that in the gold shop?"

Qian Liangliang immediately remembered that his life was in someone else's hands and hurriedly said:

"No, no, no, it's not a little bit, there's definitely a lot, I heard many people have given him gold! He's my big boss!"

He glanced at Lin Shi secretly, these words were not supposed to be said.

But now that the world is like this, what does it matter if he says it, life is gone, who cares about being retaliated by the boss.

Seeing that Lin Shi indeed restrained his murderous intent, Qian Liangliang immediately knew that his life was temporarily saved.

"Where is it?" Lin Shi asked.

He still needed to collect less than two tons of gold.

Originally, after collecting gold in the eastern suburbs today, he was ready to go to other cities around to have a look.

But other cities have not been pre-surveyed, and the collection speed will be much slower than Sha City.

If it can speed up the progress, it would be even better.

Qian Liangliang's eyes turned, and he smiled:

"Hehehe, big brother, you see, if I say it, then I'm dead, right? I'm not that stupid, so, I'll take you there, you take the gold and let me go, how about that?"

Lin Shi put away his knife:

"Get dressed, take me there!"

Watching Qian Liangliang dressing in a panic, Lin Shi's voice was cold and piercing:

"If there's no gold I want, I'll make you regret living for a while in this world."

After staying in the post-apocalyptic world for eight years, he knew several ways to make people feel worse than death in extreme cold.

Qian Liangliang shivered coldly, looked around, and saw that even the blood of the three people had been frozen into ice dregs, and hurriedly said:

"Absolutely dare not!"

After Qian Liangliang dressed, Lin Shi used a backpack to cover up, took out a golf ball from the space.

This was collected from the port container, one of which was a container of sports equipment.

He handed the golf ball to Qian Liangliang and said, "Hold it in your mouth."

Qian Liangliang stared at Lin Shi with his eyes wide.

Lin Shi's eyes narrowed, the threat was self-evident:

"If you shout and scream when you go out, I'll kill you!"

A ball of this size can just make people unable to speak when held in the mouth.

Qian Liangliang reluctantly held it in his mouth and put on the mask handed over by Lin Shi.

There was no abnormality on the outside.

Qian Liangliang, who originally wanted to wait until he walked to the street to find an opportunity to escape, now always felt that there was a sentence of MMP that he didn't know whether to speak or not.
