Raymond, holding his child, walked slowly to the relief station of the Brotherhood of Steel. Beside him was his wife, who held hands tightly and looked dignified. The child was crying in Raymond's arms, shouting ‘Mom, do n’t go’. The couple didn't answer, but their hearts were broken.
Raymond was originally a senior actuary and was one of the top positions in finance. He used to work at PwC's New York branch, but now ... he is nothing.
No one in world's end needs an accountant, let alone an actuary. He finally spent the first half of world's end with a gun and a little food savings, but after escaping from Manhattan to Staten Island, he found it more and more difficult to maintain his family.
Just a week ago, Raymond went out looking for food empty-handed, and his wife told him a bad news-his two-year-old son was starved to death, and his five-year-old son could not stand . The whole family cried and cried together that day, desperate and painful.
In the next week, Raymond, who was forced to a dead end, tried everything he could. In order to obtain food, he even killed people, but this is still unable to feed a family of three. The elder son was getting thinner and weaker, and his cheeks were sinking more and more. Even if the husband and wife gave him all the food they got, the child still passed out several times and could die at any time.
When desperate, Raymond ’s wife offered to be a slave girl and sold herself for food. There is a slave market near the relief station of the Brotherhood of Iron and Steel, where many people market themselves, and often buy a person with just a piece of bread.
But what can a piece of bread do? It does not allow the Raymonds to get out of trouble. This proposal kept him silent for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed. This may be the last thing the couple can do for their children.
When the wife and the child said goodbye, the five-year-old son did n’t know how to react and kept shouting ‘Mom, do n’t go’. But the wife can only give a bitter smile and kiss, there is no other way.
The relief station no longer provides any relief. An individual standing under the wall of the building is a slave trying to sell himself. Raymond came here only two or three hundred people last time, but now there are thousands of people here.
Wife walked to the wall and expressed willingness to sell herself, while Raymond stood a few meters away, and the couple looked at each other. The wife was laughing, while Raymond froze, and the child was crying, reaching for his mother's hug.
A fierce gunner walked through the crowd, and many people were watching him. And this man, with an arrogance of the highest class, looked down on the man with contempt. He focused on the woman, and when he walked in front of Raymond's wife, he deliberately reached out and grabbed a hand on his chest.
Raymond turned away, he did n’t want to hear the bargain between his wife and gunner, which made him feel humiliated. But he couldn't leave, he also had to take away the food in exchange for his wife. The child was crying and hungry again, which prevented her wife from holding on to gunner for too long. She sold herself for only half a piece of bread.
When the bread was delivered to Raymond, his wife kissed him and the child for the last time and said in his ear: "Do n’t give up, dear Raymond, our children will depend on you in the future. What really happened is unfortunate, I believe you did your best, we will see you in heaven. "
Raymond no longer has tears, and his heart is broken at this moment.
His wife was taken away by gunner. Raymond crunched half of the bread that was to be rancid and fed it into the child's mouth, sobbing while feeding. The child ate something and shouted ‘Mom’ with a little effort, but Mom was no longer around.
And what should I do next? Raymond had no idea at all. He walked slowly outwards, and suddenly heard that the slave market was noisy, and the crowd was rushing in one direction.
"What happened?" Raymond followed the crowd involuntarily. "Is there any food distribution at the relief station?"
But Raymond heard an electric horn shouting: "Get away, get away, we don't need ordinary labor this time, we need some senior talent. We need accounting, we need financial personnel, we need logistics management personnel, we need Intelligence analyst. Who will do the fake accounts? Tell me, who will do the fake accounts? I now need someone who is good at doing fake accounts. "
This sound made Raymond so stunned. He ran to the electric horn and shouted with all his strength: "I will do fake accounts. I am PwC ’s actuary. 'S specialty is to do fake accounts. I promise to do absolutely perfect, even if the IRS people can't find any flaws. "
Raymond ’s roar even overshadowed the sound of the electric horn. He slammed into several people and hurried towards the electric horn. Big companies have done fake accounts. Trust me, I am an expert in this regard. "
The man with the electric horn glanced at Raymond and said with a tilt of his head, "Then stand behind me."
Raymond holds the child, and sticks tightly behind the person with the electric horn. There are several soldiers with guns beside him, blocking the surging crowd.
The electric horn recruited many people this time, and soon more than fifty people stood behind him. Others interviewed these people on the spot and gave them a loaf of bread after passing, and also gave them water to drink.
Bread, bread, bread, just half a loaf of bread sold my wife, and now Raymond has a loaf of bread. He quickly found a horn in front of him, begging: "Please give me some time, I'm going to redeem my wife, she has just been bought."
"No, what should you do if you run away?" The electric horn refused without hesitation.
"I swear I will not run, and my wife used to be a dispatcher in New York Harbor, responsible for planning cargo transportation and vehicle allocation. Do you need a dispatcher? I beg you to hire my wife too." Begging.
The electric horn thought about it, and finally agreed to Raymond ’s request, and sent someone to follow him to redeem his wife. Raymond hurriedly chased him in the direction of his wife's being taken away, and saw his wife being raped in a building ruin hundreds of meters away.
"Wait, wait, I wo n’t sell my wife anymore. The bread is returned to you. You have just paid half a loaf of bread. I now redeem my wife with a loaf of bread." In the past, most of the bread fell apart during the violent run.
"You are playing me!" The angry gunner is angry, holding up his pants and standing up, and taking a gun will kill Raymond. "No one can play me."
Bang ..., a shot!
Raymond almost thought he was so finished, but he opened his eyes after a long time, and saw that the armed men who followed him were blowing the muzzle, squinting and said to him: "You and you It ’s best for your wife to use it a little bit, otherwise Miss Fox will kill your family. "(Unfinished.)
