Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 163 Full of Harvests
The sound of gunfire spread far away, and wisps of green smoke drifted away with the wind.

Baker was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground with a look of horror on his face, blood slowly seeping out.

Ou Yang put down the 43 he was holding horizontally, his face expressionless.

The flood has not receded and the bridge is still an isolated island in the water. Conflicts, quarrels, and even physical fights among survivors are no big deal, but killing someone is another matter.

Whatever the reason, this scourge cannot be allowed to continue.

Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei also drew their guns, but not as quickly.

Ou Yang turned his head to look inside the car. Zhu Yiming was holding a gun and looking to the left, while Jiang Yuwei was holding a gun and looking to the right, forming crossfire on both sides of the car door.

The two nodded in succession, indicating that their respective directions were safe.

Ou Yang rushed to the car. There was nothing unusual in the living room or the dining room, but the door of the master bedroom at the rear of the car was ajar. Looking through the crack in the door, he could see a person lying on the ground.

Zhu and Jiang entered the car and searched towards the front of the car, but soon sent back a signal that nothing was found.

Ou Yang slowly approached the bedroom, prepared for any unexpected events, and nodded.

Zhu Yiming opened the door and the three people's expressions changed at the same time.

An old black man was lying on the ground with a huge wound on the side of his neck that had cut most of it open, and blood was spurting everywhere; a white man was lying on the bed with his eyes wide open, his heart soaked in blood; the middle-aged woman was stabbed several times and lay in a pool of blood, gasping for breath.

The strong smell of blood filled my nostrils.

The middle-aged woman was not dead yet. Her lips moved slightly and she was spitting out blood while saying "help".

Five people were gathered inside and outside the car. Ou Yang didn't notice any danger. He put away his gun and squatted in front of the middle-aged woman: "Sorry, we are not doctors."

If she could still be saved, Ou Yang wouldn't mind doing a good deed, but her injuries were too serious. Even if she was sent to the hospital immediately and her blood was replaced several times, she might not be able to be saved.

The woman had no hope anymore, her already distracted gaze froze, and there seemed to be a hint of unwillingness and attachment in her eyes.

Zhu Yiming turned off the safety, unloaded the magazine, and pulled the slide to eject the bullet from the chamber. "What the hell is going on?"

43 can be carried in C1 mode, but the one in his hand cannot. When the gun is not in use, the safety must be turned off and the bullet in the chamber must be ejected.

Jiang Yuwei bent down to pick up a scattered document and suddenly showed a surprised expression: "This is a bearer bond."

Zhu Yiming was stunned: "What the hell?"

Ou Yang also looked confused. He seemed to have heard of this thing somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Jiang Yuwei looked at him as if he were an idiot: "Just treat this as a passbook. It's not registered and anyone can withdraw money."

Hey!
Zhu Yiming's heart pounded, and his expression immediately changed. He looked at the bonds scattered on the ground and swallowed his saliva: "How much are so many bonds worth?"

Ou Yang also remembered that this thing had appeared in a crime movie!

His grandmother's brother-in-law, no wonder there is so little cash and gold, it turns out the bulk of it is here!
"I don't know." Jiang Yuwei shook her head. "The signature is from a foundation I've never heard of."

She put the papers down and gave a sarcastic look.

Zhu Yiming felt that she was in a bad mood and asked curiously, "What happened to the foundation?"

Jiang Yuwei waved the bonds. "There are too many foundations in the United States. Some are for philanthropy, some for private investment, and some for wealth management. But the most important function of foundations is actually to help the rich avoid taxes and launder money for politicians."

Zhu Yiming was shocked: "Is this true?"

"In the United States, this is an open secret." Jiang Yuwei laughed and lightly shirked responsibility.

"It's not surprising that people die for money and birds die for food." Ou Yang sighed, and imagined several scenes in his mind where Wu Mi discovered the bonds, fought over the uneven distribution of the spoils, and finally killed the man.

There are many groups that can weather adversity but not prosperity, let alone a makeshift team put together at the last minute?

Zhu Yiming couldn't help but ask, "How much are these bonds worth?"

Jiang Yuwei shook her head: "I don't know."

Zhu Yiming asked again: "Where can I exchange it?"

Jiang Yuwei continued to shake her head: "I don't know."

"Isn't that just waste paper?" Zhu Yiming's shoulders slumped instantly. "If it were for gold and jewelry, it would be fine to fight to the death, but is it worth it to risk your life for a few pieces of paper?

Well, so these old Americans were all killed unjustly?
"That's not the case." Jiang Yuwei corrected, "This thing can be sold to people who know the business. They can always sell some rice knives."

Ou Yang suddenly coughed. "Well, actually, there's some cash and gold bars. They asked me to put them away yesterday."

"What the hell?" Zhu Yiming's eyes widened, and he reached out to grab Ou Yang's collar. "No, you thick-browed, big-eyed guy, you want to eat alone, right?"

Jiang Yuwei was startled and thought that Zhu Yiming was going to turn against her. She subconsciously wanted to draw her gun, but then she felt that Zhu Yiming was not such a shallow person.

"Get lost, who are you looking down on?" Ou Yang slapped Zhu Yiming's claws away. "I wanted to tell you, but I got so busy that I forgot."

"Who are you trying to fool? Can you even forget about gold?" Zhu Yiming squinted his eyes and looked Ou Yang up and down, showing that he didn't believe it.

Jiang Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they weren't in a fight.

Ou Yang pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and said, "Well, don't say I don't think about you. I have plenty of cash. You two can split it in half!"

Judging from the thickness, it costs at least tens of thousands of dollars per person.

"Don't talk nonsense, where are the gold bars?"

Ou Yang chuckled, dug into his pocket again, held out his clenched fist, and suddenly unfolded it: "Come on, one per person, and the extra will be paid to the public!"

Seeing what he held in his hand, Zhu Yiming and Jiang Yuwei were stunned.

"Ah? So small!" Zhu Yiming let out a cry of disappointment.

The so-called gold bar is actually a piece of gold sheet that is as wide as the tip of a finger but much thinner. One side is engraved with an extremely abstract female head portrait, and the other side is numbered "ONE OUNCE FINE GOLD", 999, 9 and six digits.

Ou Yang laughed: "A one-ounce gold bar, how big do you think it is?"

Zhu Yiming immediately made a grabbing gesture: "Isn't it like this in TV dramas?"

"You already said it was a TV series!" Ou Yang said, "It's just these few things, how could I forget it?"

1 ounce is approximately equal to 31 grams, and four sticks weigh a total of only 120 grams, just over two taels, which is the same weight as 10 9mm bullets.

"Hey, this isn't worth much!" Zhu Yiming was very frustrated, like a deflated ball. "This is such a rip-off!"

He didn't know much about the price of gold. He only remembered that the price skyrocketed for a period of time, and seemed to have reached 31 to yuan per gram. grams was almost yuan.

More than 10,000 rice knives can be exchanged for 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, which is almost equivalent to four gold bars.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yiming waved his hand with great pride and said, "Don't divide it, it's all yours!"

Jiang Yuwei's eyes immediately revealed a bit of sharpness: It doesn't matter whether we break up or not, but have you asked for my opinion?
"I'm not kidding." Ou Yang put away his smile. "The rice knife may lose value, but the gold won't. Each of you should take one and keep it safe. If you get separated or encounter any other problems in the future, you can use it for emergencies. It's best to sew it on your underwear, just to be safe!"

After that, regardless of whether Zhu or Jiang agreed, each of them stuffed a piece into their hands. People worry not about scarcity but about inequality. The most taboo thing for a group is unequal distribution.

"Go to hell!" Zhu Yiming carefully put it away and punched Ou Yang lightly. "Thanks!"

"Why are you so polite!"

Jiang Yuwei suddenly had a strange feeling and realized that she was a bit redundant here. "Do you two have to talk about this in front of a pile of dead people?"

"Yes, let's get down to business!" Zhu Yiming quickly adjusted his attitude. "Where were we?"

Ou Yang also reflected on himself and realized that he had seen too many deaths and too many corpses recently, and had reached a level of dual immunity, both physically and psychologically.

Being indifferent to life and death is not a compliment no matter how you look at it.

Jiang Yuwei rolled her eyes: "What should I do with these bonds?"

"What else can I do?" Ou Yang looked at her with a naive look. "Of course I'll take them all and sell them for an equal share when I get a chance!"

"Where's the body?"

"Move it outside and throw it into the water." said Ou Yang.

Zhu Yiming immediately expressed a different opinion: "If you ask me, just throw it here."

"We don't know how long we'll be trapped here. Are we going to get flies if we leave them here?" Ou Yang took a clear stance. "Out of basic respect for life and death, I think they should be given a decent ending. Since they can't be buried right now, throwing them in the water would at least count as a water burial, right?"

"Just forget it!" Zhu Yiming refused to listen. "Those who know about it think we're just dumping the body, don't they?"

"I also think we shouldn't move," Jiang Yuwei said. "We can just take the bonds."

Ou Yang sighed: "Okay, the minority obeys the majority, then don't move!"

After discussing the result, the three people immediately collected the scattered bonds, divided them into two parts according to bloodstained and unstained ones, and spent some time cleaning up the bloodstains.

If it is really badly stained or has heavy markings, just throw it away.

It's unexpected money anyway, so I don't feel bad about it.

While it was still early, Ou Yang took out a bunch of keys and opened the luggage compartment at the rear of the car. The moment he opened the hatch, the three people were stunned at the same time.

In a space with a height of nearly two meters, a four-seater smart car is parked, and a bicycle is hanging on the wall next to it.

This is not a luggage compartment, it's clearly a garage!

What’s more, there’s virtually no visible water damage in this tiny garage!
"Wow, rich people really know how to have fun!" Zhu Yiming was so envious, "Why don't we just give up on the off-roading and just drive this car!"

"Forget it." Ou Yang was very tempted, but still refused rationally.

Jiang Yuwei pointed to the top of her head: "There are several people up there, don't you care at all?"

Zhu Yiming stopped talking immediately.

It would be a lie to say that I don’t care, otherwise why are haunted houses so cheap?

"I don't mind, but this car is too high-profile," said Ou Yang.

"Ours isn't very low-key, is it?"

"That's different. Luxury RVs are not something that ordinary people can drive. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the car has an unknown origin and is likely to cause trouble. Ours is different. It's rented, legally, and no one can find fault with it," said Ou Yang.

He looked down at the chassis height of the RV, then at the size of the smart tires, and was sure that this thing definitely did not get up there by itself.

Continuing to observe, I found the controller on the wall and the car keys hanging next to it.

Ou Yang has a slight toothache.

The circuits in the bus were also soaked by water, but considering the sealing of the windows and the garage, he decided to give it a try.

So, Ou Yang squeezed into the garage from the side and pressed the controller on the wall.

With a slight sound, the mechanical structure under the wheel automatically sends the smart car out of the garage.

Ou Yang took the key and got into the car, and started the engine successfully in one go!
He turned off the engine, got out, opened the hood, and immediately began to remove the battery: "This one works, let's put it in our car!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yiming hurried to help.

Ou Yang pushed him aside and said, "Don't be a hindrance here. You two should check the battery compartment and remove a few batteries and bring them back! Look at the others too, pack up anything you can use and take it back. We're going to upgrade the SUV!"

"I think it's okay!" Zhu Yiming couldn't close his mouth and patted the roof of the smart car. "If the SUV can't move, we can drive this!"

Luxury RVs are high-profile, but this one is not considered high-profile, right?
"Wait a minute!" Jiang Yuwei suddenly stopped him, "Don't remove the battery yet. Remove the battery pack first. We'll use this car to pull it back later!"

Ou Yang slapped his forehead and said, "You're right, I was so busy that I lost myself!"

The car battery is not light, and it is not a short distance to lift it from here to there.

There are a row of hatches on the side of the luxury RV, and I wonder what they are used for.

Open the first one, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

Second, the distribution box.

The third one is the generator.

The distribution box is right next to the generator, there is nothing wrong with it.

Fourth, I finally found the battery compartment.

Ou Yang opened the last hatch and finally found the real luggage compartment, which was the kind that ran through the left and right sides.

The luggage compartment was filled with a mess of things. Ou Yang took a casual look and planned to remove the battery pack.

But at this glance, I discovered several scattered plastic bottles deep in the luggage compartment.

what?
Ou Yang went in and touched one, and when he took it out, he saw that it was actually bottled water!

He quickly called Zhu and Jiang to clean the luggage compartment and move out seven boxes of bottled mineral water.

I've never heard of this brand!

Zhu Yiming was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He twisted open a bottle of Ton Ton Ton and drank it all, then wiped the water stains from his mouth contentedly: "Oh my god, mineral water is still delicious. How come this car is like a treasure trove, everything can be turned out? If you ask me, we should look for it carefully, maybe there will be something good!"

The off-road RV has been parked by the river for several days. Although the water tank is not empty, the water quality has changed due to the hot weather. It is all thanks to the water purification tablets.

These boxes of bottled water solved the trio's urgent needs!
Ouyang lifted a box of mineral water and put it in the back seat of the Smart car: "Let's do the work first, and we'll talk about it later when we have time."

He was also curious in his heart, but he had to eat one bite at a time and do things one by one. There was plenty of time, so there was no need to rush!
The three men not only removed the battery, but also the generator. They filled the back seat first and then the passenger seat. If someone had not had to drive, the driver would not have been spared either.

They were busy until dark, and finally, with full expectations, the three of them returned to the off-road RV with all their gains.
