Chapter 8 This is life
"Brother, what we just did has already provoked Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai is not someone to be trifled with!" A younger man next to the tattooed thug said with a worried expression.
He knew that Zhao Hai seemed calm on the surface, and sometimes even had a playful, joking demeanor.
But when he gets physical, he's incredibly ruthless.
He still remembered that once when they were collecting supplies, Zhao Hai and another person were walking behind. Just as the two were about to be caught by the monster, Zhao Hai shot the person next to him with an arrow using a crossbow, and then threw him to the monster without hesitation, which saved Zhao Hai's life.
Not to mention him, even tattooed thugs wouldn't want to mess with Zhao Hai.
However, when the two went to the village to collect supplies, they didn't find much, only three loaves of bread.
Three loaves of bread would be enough for the two brothers to eat for at most one day.
In addition, the two brothers usually only drove an old motorcycle. The tattooed thug had long coveted Zhao Hai's car, but because Zhao Hai was not someone to be trifled with, he had not made a move.
However, the two brothers only managed to collect three loaves of bread while gathering supplies today, and they were naturally envious of Zhao Hai's backpack, which was stuffed full.
Normally, even if he was extremely envious, the tattooed thug wouldn't be foolish enough to provoke Zhao Hai.
But when he was collecting supplies today, he personally witnessed that after Zhao Hai came out, the rag doll also strangely came out of that room.
Because of a previous incident involving the bizarre control of people, he was thinking of telling the superhumans about it so they could take action against Zhao Hai.
This tattooed thug was quite shrewd. He knew that when the convoy was about to leave, the rag doll had strangely entangled Su Wanyue. He figured that Su Wanyue must have been feeling a lot of anger that she couldn't vent when the rag doll was strangely entangled with her.
In addition, Su Wanyue was known for her volatile temper, so he didn't go to Wang Hu, the kind-hearted guy in the team, or Captain Xu, who was fairly fair in his dealings, to talk about this.
His goal was to make Su Wanyue kill Zhao Hai in a fit of rage, so that he could get his hands on the supplies Zhao Hai had collected and also get his hands on the car Zhao Hai had been eyeing for a long time.
His idea was good, but unfortunately, there's always a gap between ideas and reality.
He didn't expect that Su Wanyue wouldn't kill Zhao Hai, but instead took him to find Xu Wenchu, and then Zhao Hai returned unharmed.
He also knew that from this day forward, the feud between him and Zhao Hai was officially established.
……
At this moment, at the very front of the convoy, Su Wanyue and Xu Wenchu watched as the two did not clash.
"I thought Zhao Hai would be unable to resist attacking that thug! I didn't expect him to just go back like that!" Su Wanyue said with a bored expression.
Although Su Wanyue was only a twenty-year-old girl with a somewhat volatile temper, it didn't mean she was stupid. She naturally saw through the thug's tricks.
"Wanyue, Zhao Hai is not only ruthless, but also very intelligent. He knows the rules of the caravan: if there is no conflict with others, there should be no conflict during the caravan's relocation."
From a moral and ethical standpoint, that thug's actions were for the good of the entire convoy. It was precisely because he knew this that he did not take action against the thug.
It would be incredibly foolish of him to make a move now!
This will not only annoy us, but also cause us trouble! After all, there are quite a few big mouths among the survivors in the convoy.
"Captain Xu, you're not wrong. This kid is not only ruthless but also very smart. I just wanted to watch the show!" Su Wanyue also felt bored.
……
Zhao Hai was in the car.
"That bastard Zhang Biao, he actually tried to scheme against me. It's not a good time to deal with him now, but I'll definitely take him down when I get the chance!" Zhao Hai thought to himself.
However, the supplies collected this time were not bad. Just that small half bag of rice was enough for him to eat for four or five days. In addition, he also collected half a carton of cigarettes.
Although he doesn't smoke himself, he can keep these cigarettes to exchange for a lot of good things.
For the next week, he wouldn't have to worry about food.
……
The convoy rested for half an hour before continuing its journey until evening when it finally stopped to rest.
Before it got dark, Zhao Hai gathered some dry leaves and branches around him, lit them about ten meters away from his car, and then poured the rice he had collected that day and some drinking water into his small pot.
After cooking for about twenty minutes, the aroma of rice filled the air, making Zhao Hai swallow hard.
After waiting for nearly ten more minutes, Zhao Hai used two whittled wooden sticks to pick up a little rice and tasted it. It was not bad; it was cooked to a fairly soft and tender consistency, and the fragrant aroma of rice lingered in his mouth.
"Hey! Buddy, are you cooking rice?"
At this moment, a figure crept up to Zhao Hai. The light was dim, and the person's appearance was not clearly visible, but their envious and jealous eyes were very bright as they stared intently at the rice in Zhao Hai's pot.
Zhao Hai didn't speak, but he took out the crossbow from his waist and aimed it at the other party.
"Hehe, I... I just came to take a look, nothing more..."
Seeing that Zhao Hai remained silent, with his crossbow pointed at him, the light in the figure's eyes slowly dimmed, and he retreated.
Zhao Hai was relieved to see the other party leave.
Although the crossbow in his hand couldn't do any damage to the strange creature.
But it is surprisingly effective in dealing with people with ill intentions.
In this damned apocalypse, sometimes what's more terrifying than the bizarre is the human heart.
Zhao Hai had only eaten one loaf of bread today and was already very hungry.
However, he ate rice very slowly, savoring each bite as if it were a delicacy.
In the end, Zhao Hai licked the rice out of the pot completely.
Feeling the warmth and fullness in his belly, Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh: This is life!
After Zhao Hai finished eating, he put the pot back in the car. At that moment, a woman wearing yoga pants walked over.
"Brother Hai, can I sit in your car? My legs have been hurting a lot these past few days."
After saying that, the woman even squatted down and rubbed her calves in a pretentious manner.
The woman was wearing a V-neck top, and when she squatted down, she deliberately pulled down the neckline so that Zhao Hai could see what was underneath.
This made the surrounding LSPs drool.
