Chapter 648: The Noise That Even the Strange Couldn’t Stand
Fourth floor!
"Damn, good thing I kept a trick up my sleeve, otherwise I'd have been screwed!"
"Really, Chen Ye is a lousy deputy captain! He'd be better off not being one!"
"Chu Che—what the hell was he thinking, putting Chen Ye in charge?"
"Compared to this dashing young master, that Chen Ye kid is way below!"
"Devious, sly, shameless, and sometimes he even plays crazy and acts dumb!"
"Tsk tsk... if that Jiang Rou, that madwoman, knew what you lot were up to..."
"Forget it, forget it, I'm Dantai Bie and I count as Fair Convoy, I couldn't betray my brothers like that!"
"Still, I really want to see Jiang Rou's reaction when she finds out those sheep were stolen by Chen Ye and the others. I really want to see it! What should I do?"
Dantai Bie talked and muttered to himself.
The chatterbox would always be a chatterbox.
Normally, if he went over an hour without speaking, Dantai Bie would practically die from holding it in.
Even when he used to wander around the vehicle, there was someone to talk to.
Like the vehicle AI.
To Dantai Bie, it was the perfect listening ear.
No matter what he said, it would listen patiently, and sometimes even respond.
But now.
From morning until now, Dantai Bie hadn't found anyone to talk with.
Some of those things had only naked murderous urges.
Some were filled with maddening grievances.
Even the ones that could speak couldn't really connect with Dantai Bie.
He glanced up at the room's door plate.
8422, they had arrived!
Mm!
Iron Lion had been searching for an opponent he could really fight.
As for Dantai Bie, what he wanted most now was someone who could listen to him speak.
Even if the other party wasn't human!
The door opened.
When Dantai Bie lifted his eyes, the scene made him brighten up a little.
Because he saw the legendary propaganda group.
The environment here had changed.
This was the village square, and in the middle of the square stood a large pagoda tree.
Under the tree sat several middle-aged women.
Each of them looked to be around fifty.
Don't underestimate a propaganda group made up of middle-aged women.
All the village's major and minor matters—whose sow had piglets, which man slept with someone, which woman got up and didn't fold her quilt—could be learned here!
Stick around a group like this for a little while, no more than ten minutes, and you would know everything about this village.
Dantai Bie straightened his clothes, though he knew these people were anomalies.
Still, he couldn't help himself...
Right now in his mind, the Fair Convoy didn't exist.
Here, under this big pagoda tree, was his true department.
First enjoy the fun, then deal with the rest.
"Young man, which family are you from?"
"Auntie, I just heard you say something about the Village Chief's daughter-in-law, is that true?"
Dantai Bie didn't reveal his info, he just said a few words.
The middle-aged women who had been chatting all turned their heads at once, each pair of eyes shining.
They were all villagers and had spoken these things to death already.
Now with a newcomer, their urge to spill everything was instantly rekindled.
"Young man, you don't know, our village..."
Almost simultaneously, at least two middle-aged women each took up one of Dantai Bie's ears.
Dantai Bie obligingly reacted in all sorts of ways.
The aunties grew more animated as they spoke.
Sometimes Dantai Bie chimed in with a line or two.
Gradually, he offered his opinions more and more.
Slowly, Dantai Bie began to steer the propaganda group under the pagoda tree.
In the end, he had the entire group firmly in his control.
Dantai Bie recounted his end-of-world experiences.
He talked about the people in the convoy.
When he mentioned Chu Che,
the many middle-aged women spat in contempt: "How can there still be shameless people in this world, prying into others' private business like that?"
"How can a person like that be a captain?"
"Exactly, exactly, such a man loves gossiping, what a weirdo!"
When they talked about Chen Ye.
"That One-eyed Guy is mean!"
"He deserves losing an eye, it's heavenly punishment!"
"How did he even become deputy captain? This so-called Fair Convoy, it's not fair at all!"
When they mentioned Sun Xixi.
"Such a good girl, what a pity!"
"Yeah, that Little Girl—back before all this, she would've at least been a college student!"
When they discussed Gong Yong.
"That dummy, so honest and straightforward, if he were my child, I'd beat him to death!"
"If only..."
When they talked about Ding Dong...
Dantai Bie kept roasting his teammates, and every remark was different.
He remembered clearly how Chen Ye and Chu Che had teamed up and screwed him over earlier.
Gradually, Dantai Bie was the only one still talking.
The other middle-aged women listened.
No one knew how long passed.
Finally, one middle-aged woman couldn't seem to hold back: "Young man, you keep talking, I'll head home and make dinner, my man is coming back!"
"Yes, yes, I have to go too, it's busy at home!"
"I'm leaving now!"
The middle-aged women were inwardly furious: Where did this young man come from, he looks so pale and clean, why does he have so much nonsense to say!
Who would have thought Dantai Bie grabbed one auntie's forearm and hurriedly said, "Aunt Qiao, I haven't finished, why are you leaving, let's chat a bit more!"
The middle-aged woman's expression shifted slightly: "No no, that's enough for today, we'll talk tomorrow! The men and kids at home are anxious!"
Dantai Bie smiled faintly: "Aunt Qiao, you lot of anomalies, where are your family and children?"
The middle-aged woman's face changed dramatically, her skin going as pale as a corpse that's been dead three days.
"You little brat, you're truly noisy, even I as an anomaly can't stand it..."
