Chapter 7 Undercurrent
In a hall, two people gathered together and sat opposite each other on the sofa.
Behind each of them, there were more than ten subordinates.
One of them wore a gray coat, and the other wore a dark coat. Except for the two people on the sofa, the subordinates behind them all looked at each other nervously, holding iron spears about 1.5 meters long in their hands.
Among the two people sitting opposite each other on the sofa, one wore a black suit, which was very clean and very particular, which was out of tune with the subordinates behind him. He was not very old, about 40 years old, with a pair of bright eyes and wisdom.
He was Meng Wuwei, one of the three local emperors of the shelter.
The other person wore a beastly coat similar to a nightgown, was about 30 years old, had a rough face, and his eyes flashed a trace of cruelty and coldness from time to time. The whole person gave people a very barbaric feeling, like a beast.
With a grin and narrowed eyes, Zhu Wei said coldly: "It doesn't matter whether they are outsiders or not. What matters is that there are only ten of them. Cheng Shengwei's remaining men are all gone. His nest has been occupied by someone. If we help Cheng Shengwei take back his nest, won't everything in the nest belong to us? And the equipment on those people..."
Speaking of this, Zhu Wei leaned back and said with a smile: "I came to you this time, not because I don't have the confidence to kill those ten people, but because I want to cooperate with you. If I get everything by myself, you won't turn a blind eye, right? Instead of being stabbed in the back by you later, it's better for us to cooperate and split the profits 50-50. Is it feasible?"
At Zhu Wei's words, Meng Wuwei smiled faintly, leaned back, and said; "You have said everything, what else can I say?"
"Haha..."
With a loud laugh, Zhu Wei stood up and said: "Then it's settled. We will act together at midnight and kill Cheng Shengwei's nest."
With that, Zhu Wei turned around and strode away, leaving the hall with a group of his men.
Looking at the group of figures leaving the door, Meng Wuwei did not retract his gaze until the door closed.
"A bunch of lunatics..."
Meng Wuwei thought to himself, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Shaking his head, Meng Wuwei sighed, looked up at the ceiling, silent, with only confusion in his eyes.
There are fewer and fewer people in the shelter. There were more than 3,000 people ten years ago, but now there are less than 800 people.
The environment outside is getting worse and worse, the resources nearby are gradually exhausted, and the number of strange beasts is increasing. How long can Qing'an Shelter exist?
Meng Wuwei doesn't know, maybe in another ten years, Qing'an Shelter will disappear?
Behind Meng Wuwei, a person stepped forward slightly and said, "Captain, do we really want to cooperate with Zhu Wei?"
Cooperation?
The confusion in his eyes was swept away. Meng Wuwei smiled lightly and said disdainfully: "How can a wolf cooperate with a mad dog? They live one day at a time and never think about the future of the shelter. It's time to pull out these termites."
Looking at the captain sitting on the sofa, Meng Wuwei's men looked at each other. What should the captain do?
Just when the shelter was undercurrent due to the appearance of Li Meng and his party, Li Meng returned to the second floor in Cheng Shengwei's lair.
A chill hit him and made Li Meng shiver.
Just when the soul was diverted, he broke out in a cold sweat. Now that the sweat has cooled down, the sticky feeling all over his body made Li Meng feel very uncomfortable.
Rubbing Yan'er's little head, Li Meng smiled and said, "Yan'er, stay here well, brother is going to take a shower."
"Well..."
Nodding, Li Yan let go of Li Meng's arm.
Standing up, Li Meng left the hall and walked deep into the corridor.
Li Meng is not unfamiliar with this place. In the years when Sister You just left, when Cheng Shengwei was not around, Sister You would often secretly take him here to bathe.
The second and third floors are Cheng Shengwei's private space, and even his men are not allowed to go upstairs.
Although that guy is not a good person, he has a strong possessiveness of Sister You. It is precisely because of this that Sister You's life is not bad. She has no worries about food and clothing, and her daughter can live well around her.
Where are the kitchen, warehouse, and bathroom? Li Meng is familiar with it.
After leaving the hall, the corridor seems a little dim. Without lights, everything will return to darkness.
In front of the bathroom door, Li Meng stopped and pushed the door open...
As soon as he entered the bathroom, a warm and misty air rushed towards him and hit Li Meng's face.
"Who?"
A panicked scolding sounded from the bathroom.
This made Li Meng, who entered the bathroom, pause and look surprised.
In the bathroom, there is a large iron bucket, under which is a stove, and the coal in the stove is burning.
In the iron bucket, in the water that is almost overflowing, Sister You is holding her chest with both hands, looking at the door nervously.
Seeing this scene, Li Meng is embarrassed and hurriedly said: "Sister You... Sister You, I didn't mean it, I didn't know you were here, you wash first, I... I'll go out now..."
Li Meng thought Sister You was still cleaning up on the third floor, but he didn't expect her to be done so quickly and was taking a bath.
Such an embarrassing scene made Li Meng curse himself in his heart, why didn't he ask Yan'er before coming.
Seeing that the person coming was Xiao Meng, You Lan was relieved.
Seeing Xiao Meng was about to leave, You Lan hurriedly said: "Wait..."
Wait?
Li Meng stopped leaving and turned to look at Sister You in the iron bucket, with only confusion in his eyes.
Facing Li Meng's gaze, You Lan blushed and whispered: "There is not much water and coal in the house, so we can't waste them. Let's... wash together..."
Wash together?
Looking at Sister You's white shoulders in the water, Li Meng felt a little strange in his heart.
No, no...
Although she called me sister, she was my aunt. Although Li Meng had no blood relationship with her, my aunt was my aunt.
Li Meng said cautiously: "Sister You, this... this is not appropriate, right?"
With a chuckle, You Lan said unhappily: "I don't care, what do you care about? When we were young, you always wanted to take a bath with me. Why, now that you have grown up, do you dislike Sister You?"
Li Meng hurriedly said: "No, no, that's not what I mean. How could I dislike Sister You..."
At this time, Li Meng realized that people in this era no longer have the so-called "morality", or should I say that they have no awareness of "morality". In the case of scarce resources, staying alive is the most important thing.
Li Meng knew that if he turned and left, Sister You would probably really think that he disliked her.
Without saying anything more, Li Meng turned around and closed the bathroom door, and then came to a wooden clothes rack.
In front of You Lan's beautiful eyes, Li Meng took off his armor and clothes one by one...
After a while, Li Meng's body became naked.
The coldness on his body made Li Meng put aside the embarrassment in his heart. In front of You Lan's wandering eyes, he climbed the ladder naked and entered the iron barrel...
