"These rents can also be regarded as some subsidies to the group, so that the families of some group members can live. But in the past few years, many family members of the group members who have sacrificed have been taken care of by our reclamation group, and now there are more and more people. The burden is very heavy
big.……"
Zhou Zhenghao didn't know if the old man opposite Alva Macaulay was older, and he always felt that what he said was not the point. But since it was their first meeting, Zhou Zhenghao listened patiently to what he said.
"Something happened in my apartment two days ago. What should I say? It's hard to talk about..."
"It's nothing. If you have anything to do, just tell me slowly. The more detailed you are, the better..."
Zhou Zhenghao already had a hunch that something strange must have happened in his apartment and he needed his help. This was a good opportunity.
"That's right. Maybe it's because my apartment has lost one floor since the day before yesterday..."
"What?……"
When Zhou Zhenghao heard this, his chin almost dropped to the ground. It didn't sound like human words. There was still one less floor in the apartment. Was one floor stolen by someone? What kind of words were these?
His face tightened, but he didn't ask. He looked at Alva Macaulay and let him continue.
"It's the same. Maybe you won't believe me when I say it, and you may find it weird. But it actually happened before your eyes. The specific thing is like this. Every day, the administrator in my building starts to inspect every floor.
, but when he inspected yesterday, he couldn’t find the 13th floor..."
"What do you mean? Can't you find it on the 13th floor?..."
Zhou Zhenghao was completely shocked this time. What kind of world is this? The entire floor could be lost...?
"I still can't find it. When the administrator told me, I couldn't believe it. I personally took a few old brothers in the group there. I couldn't find the 13th floor. It just disappeared out of thin air. You know.
According to the administrator's investigation, there are still 13 guests living in those 13 floors. They are old, young, male and female. These guests are temporarily rented from outside. They are not the family members of our group members. If this matter is left to outsiders
Got it, then all the other residents in my apartment building will have to move out, and no one will come to live with me. Doesn’t this completely cut off my way of making money?..."
"You know, it is very dangerous to cultivate outside now. My team members are a bit older. They rarely go out now. They basically rely on this apartment building to collect rent. If this source of income is cut off,
I’m afraid our Langya Reclamation Group will starve to death..."
Zhou Zhenghao finally understood what Alva Macaulay said, but what made him feel strange was how could this entire floor be lost? And he had a strange feeling, look at how this building was built
?It will build 44 floors and 13 floors. There are still 13 customers in the building.
This number is all unlucky for his old mother, okay?
This deserves to happen.
By the way, Zhou Zhenghao suddenly changed his mind and realized something was wrong, so he looked at Alva Macaulay.
"You are a reclamation group yourself. You have been able to hang out outside Wuji City for so many years. How can you not even handle a little weird thing about yourself?..."
"It's like this. Originally, in our Langya Reclamation Group, I was mainly responsible for the weird aspects of physics.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
If it's a weird creature from the physics department, then I have to say, I'm definitely not afraid of it. But for this inexplicable weird spiritual creature, I'm a little helpless..."
"Originally, in my Langya Reclamation Group, there was a vice-captain who was a good brother with me through life and death. He was specially responsible for spiritual weird scenes, and he was good at this. But last year, we went out and met the forest banshee.
, my brother is gone just like that. This is why I want to retire..."
"And because of our Langya Reclamation Corps, we have been unable to find new people for a long time in the past two years, and many old people have left. The rest are poor people who have nowhere to go. So I can only hold on.
maintain.……"
Alva Macaulay's words are quite true. Heroes are dying, and there is no way. The Spike Reclamation Corps has indeed passed its original glory. After the good times of youth and frivolity, and high spirits, now that I am older, everything feels better.
To the point where it’s beyond your capabilities.
Zhou Zhenghao finally understood the whole story and why Mike didn't apply to the Weird Investigation Bureau. Indeed, as soon as he applied, investigators from the Weird Investigation Bureau would come in force, and the news would definitely come.
Can't be blocked.
If this news was known to other residents living in the building, they would not move out immediately.
And he also knows that renting an apartment in this continent is completely different from that in the old world. You only need to pay for one more day to stay for one day. When he first traveled to the continent, he lived in this type of apartment.
I also paid for it at the door. It can be said that as soon as the news got out, Alva Macaulay's apartment would be empty the next day. That was really a fatal thing.
Seeing Zhou Zhenghao's silence, Alva Macaulay on the opposite side was obviously a little anxious. He took the initiative and said,
"If you can help me solve this weird scene, I can agree to your terms and pay in installments. Give us a little bit every month, as long as we can live on. If this doesn't work, I will give you a total price of 1 million.
Reduced to 800,000, what do you think?..."
Opposite him, old Alva Macaulay was obviously a little sick and looked at Zhou Zhenghao in a hurry. He basically regarded Zhou Zhenghao as his only life-saving straw. In the past two days, as soon as the incident came out, he started to use his connections.
People who are looking for the Bureau of Occult Investigations, or other people who can specialize in spiritually bizarre scenes in other reclamation groups, will encounter obstacles at every turn.
People nowadays are very realistic. They either pretend to have something to shirk, or they offer sky-high settlement fees, which made Alva Macaulay really understand. When people leave, the tea is cold...
Those who had fawned over them when they were in the glory days of the Wolf Fang team now despised them from above. This was also the only team leader of the Weird Investigation Bureau he had found in the past two days.
And he also heard from Jerry that Zhou Zhenghao had solved several A-level weird scenes. This greatly increased his confidence. The weird scenes in his apartment were at most A. Maybe not even A-level...
.
What appeared in this Wuji City was an A-level scene. If it really reached an S-level weird scene, it would definitely cause a storm. The whole Wuji City would be in a state of unrest.
This S-level weird scene has not been seen for many years. Alva Macaulay
So now he can only make a desperate move and put all his hopes on Zhou Zhenghao.
And Zhou Zhenghao appeared
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Zai was thinking about some of his own problems in his mind. He was indeed short of money now, and he also hoped to help Jerry expand the operation of the Salamander Bar so that his first business in the Weird Continent would be somewhat guaranteed.
Thinking of this, he smiled at Alva Macaulay, nodded, and said.
"Otherwise, I'll discuss it with Jerry. Is that okay?..."
"sure……"
Alva Macaulay nodded. This is also a reasonable thing. This is not a trivial matter after all. No one knows what kind of situation will be encountered in the strange scene. Sometimes loss of life is very common.
The young man opposite was understandably cautious.
At this time, Zhou Zhenghao gave Jerry a hint, and the two walked to the stairs and exchanged a few words in a low voice.
Zhou Zhenghao asked Jerry.
"Jerry, is everything Alva Macaulay said true?..."
"Brother Hao, what do you mean? Which aspect are you referring to?..."
Jerry was confused for a moment. Alva Macaulay said a lot just now, and he didn't know which sentence Zhou Zhenghao was referring to.
"That is to say, he is really trying his best to support the families of those members. And those members who were injured outside the reclamation group, is he really doing his best to protect them?..."
"ah,……"
Jerry didn't expect that Zhou Zhenghao was asking this question. He was slightly stunned and nodded firmly.
"Brother Hao, I can guarantee this. He and I have known each other since we were children. I have liked to come to his grocery store since I was a child. At that time, my father and Uncle Alva Macaulay were good friends. In fact, Alva
·Uncle Macaulay also had a son, but his son died when he went to cultivate land outside the city..."
"So Uncle Alva Macaulay has always been very good to me, almost treating me as half a son. I can guarantee that what he said is absolutely true. Those members of his regiment who were injured and unable to fight were all placed by him.
I do some simple work in this grocery store. The people living in his apartment building are basically the family members of the deceased members. They probably account for the number of people on several floors, and the other floors are rented out. I am sure of this.
…”
"In that case, I understand..."
Zhou Zhenghao nodded, turned around and walked back. He didn't expect that there would be such a good person on this strange road. Yes, Alva Macaulay did this, and in Zhou Zhenghao's heart, he was completely worthy of being a good person.
Character.
There is a beginning and an end. Being able to never abandon those members who have sacrificed their lives, this spirit gave Zhou Zhenghao a sense of admiration in his heart.
Seeing Zhou Zhenghao coming over, Alva Macaulay looked a little panicked and stood up. He rubbed his hands in front of him twice unconsciously.
"Uh, Brother Hao, otherwise, I can lower the price for you. Uh, how about 750,000? It really can't go any lower..."
"I've decided not to take care of your business. I'm going to find out what's going on. If I can solve it for you, you don't have to give us a cheap deal. I'll still give you 1 million yuan.
. But I’m afraid we don’t have that much cash, so we’ll give you 100,000 yuan every month. I’ll show you how to divide it into ten months. Is that okay?..."
