Chapter 17 Profiting from the Dead
After the meal, the three discussed how to make a fortune.
"Boss, last night's freezing rain probably froze many homeless people to death. We can't miss this opportunity," Sean suggested first.
"Yeah, boss, there are a lot of homeless people in the waterfall park. Let's look around, we should be able to find quite a few." Jonah actually managed to say something useful.
[Task assigned: Collect the body]
A sudden cold front swept through the trenches. Many Astronaut soldiers had not yet received their winter supplies, and some had already frozen to death in some corner. Call the labor morgue to properly collect their remains.
[Each body recovered will earn you +20 merit points]
"They're here!"
Logan agreed with his two henchmen: "You're right, if we don't sell these bodies, someone else will."
Next, he began to assign responsibilities to each individual:
"Sean, go check on the homeless people in each tent. If you're lucky enough to find one who's gone, we'll make a lot more money."
"Jonah, go check on the homeless people who don't have tents but are wrapped in blankets or quilts, and pay special attention to those who are already soaked by the rain."
As he spoke, he stood up. "As for me, I'll go search those hidden places. We'll regroup here in half an hour."
"receive!"
As the three left the tent, the two underlings went to check one after the other, while Logan went into a dark alley near the park, heading straight for the trash cans.
What should a homeless person do if they have no warm clothing and it starts pouring rain at night?
"They'll choose a warm place, like a garbage dump."
"Although the garbage dump smells terrible, the fermenting garbage generates heat, which can help dispel some of the cold."
There are eight alleys around the waterfall park, and each alley has a garbage dump. In addition, there are four garbage dumps inside the park, making a total of 12.
He was lucky; when he opened the first pile of garbage, he saw the human leg hidden inside.
He kicked the leg hard, and a homeless man suddenly sat up from the garbage heap, his eyes glazed and his whole body trembling.
"Wake up! It's still raining outside. Let's find somewhere to shelter from the rain, or we'll freeze to death."
The homeless man was puzzled by this sudden act of kindness from a stranger, but he still stood up shakily, thanked them, and took shelter under the eaves of a nearby house that could provide shelter from the rain.
"Unlucky you, next."
In the fourth pile of garbage, where there weren't many garbage bags left, rainwater had seeped in, and Logan found a homeless man inside who had already hardened.
This Astral Army soldier took shelter beneath the ruins, but the seeping rain made him unable to withstand the cold any longer. May his soul return to the Emperor.
The homeless man, wearing only a thin thermal undershirt and completely soaked, was still clutching the garbage bag. He covered the body again to prevent it from being discovered by others.
"one."
"Perhaps dying in one's sleep is a decent way to die."
In the subsequent garbage dump, he found only another body. Some clever homeless people hiding in the garbage dump had covered the garbage dump with a large piece of waterproof material to prevent rainwater from seeping in and to avoid being killed by the freezing rain.
There were no other places to hide in the waterfall plaza, so Logan searched through them one by one and then returned to his tent.
Sean was already waiting there, and as soon as he saw him, he excitedly said:
"There was an unlucky guy whose tent had a hole in the top, and rainwater poured in. You could raise fish in it, and he froze to death."
"Great, I've also found two homeless people frozen to death in the garbage dump." Logan and he exchanged information.
At that moment, Jonah rushed over excitedly: "Boss, three! There are three!"
The other two gestured for him to be quiet, which calmed him down. He lowered his voice and said, "I found three unlucky guys who all froze to death after their clothes were soaked in the rain."
"Great, six in total. That should make us at least a few hundred dollars. I'll call Lanny over right now."
Logan took out his phone, which he had fully charged at the store yesterday, and dialed Lenny's number.
"Yo! what's up! Bro!"
"Lanny, I have six more corpses on hand. Do you have time to come and collect them now?"
"Holy shit! So many, okay, okay! I just finished collecting one here, I'll head over now, it's still at the waterfall park, right?"
"That's right."
A dozen minutes later, a white refrigerated truck stopped on the street next to the waterfall park. Four Blood Gang members, including Lenny, got out of the truck one by one and walked toward Logan, who was standing in the open space.
Good morning, Logan!
"Good morning, Lenny. Let's cut to the chase and get the body out of there, in case someone else takes it," Logan suggested, getting down to business.
"Alright, lead the way."
Six bodies—one from a tent, one from a garbage dump, and one from freezing to death in the rain—were found and carried out one by one. After confirming the number was correct, Lanny opened the truck's cargo door. Inside, there were already quite a few frozen corpses; they looked like tuna being transported.
Lanny inspected the bodies one by one, then had his henchmen carry them into the carriage one by one, freezing these fresh corpses into ice pops.
"These six corpses of yours all contain varying amounts of enhancement agents, but they are not as valuable as the previous one. I'll give you a package deal: $1000. This is the highest price I can offer within my authority."
After Lenny gave a thorough explanation and offered a good price, Logan had no reason to hesitate: "Deal!"
After the two men bumped fists, Lenny pulled out ten hundred-dollar bills from inside his leather jacket. Logan took them, then pulled out one and put it back into Lenny's hand.
"Take this and smoke some cigarettes with your buddies."
"Wow!" Lenny didn't mince words, quickly tossing the dollar bill into his pocket before giving Logan a quick once-over. "You've changed so much in just a few days. You're even more muscular now, aren't you?"
"No, no, it's just that my old clothes covered up my figure," Logan offered an excuse.
Lenny nodded, giving a thumbs-up in approval: "Now I understand why the boss values you so much. Handsome, strong, and good at managing things—you're practically God's chosen one! You look nothing like a homeless person after just two days!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment. I found a job as a security guard at a jade leaf specialty store these past two days, which is why things have changed so much."
Logan deliberately mentioned his job, saying that the manager had mentioned that the Blood Gang had some informants around the store, and he needed to learn more about it.
"It's that leaf specialty store that was just robbed by the scum of the Crippled Gang a few days ago, right? The boss is furious about it and has already assigned some of his underlings who sell enhancement agents to the vicinity of that store. I'll also be patrolling there from time to time. It's unlikely that any Crippled Gang members will cause trouble anytime soon."
Lenny recounted the details of the incident, and Logan nodded after listening, saying, "That's good. Thank you for your hard work."
Jonah and Sean stood silently behind him the whole time, listening to the conversation between the two men. They heard Lanny's praise and the "boss's" approval. Now they felt that the man in front of them might have a higher status in the Blood Gang than they had imagined.
Fiery Lenny is just a minor leader in the Blood Gang. Who else could be his boss?
