Raymond hugged his child and slowly walked to the relief station of the Brotherhood of Steel. Next to him was his wife, who held their hands tightly and looked dignified. The child was crying in Raymond's arms and kept shouting ‘Mom, do n’t go’. The couple did not 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 for PwC's New York office, but now ... he's nothing.
No one needs an accountant in the last days, let alone an actuary. He managed to spend the first half of the last days relying on a gun and little food savings, but after fleeing from Manhattan to Staten Island, he found it increasingly difficult to maintain his family.
Just a week ago, Raymond, who was out looking for food, returned 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 couldn't hold it. The whole family was crying together that day, despairing and suffering.
For the next week, Raymond was forced to do everything he could. He even killed people to get food, but this still couldn't support a family of three. The eldest son is getting thinner and weaker, and his cheeks are getting lower and lower. Even if the husband and wife give him all the food, the child is still hungry several times and may die at any time.
When desperate, Raymond's wife offered to be a slave woman and sold herself in exchange for food. There is a slave market near the relief station of the Brotherhood of Steel, where many people sell themselves, often buying only one piece of bread.
But what can a piece of bread do? It doesn't get the Raymonds out of trouble. The proposal silenced him for a long time and finally nodded in agreement. This may be the last thing a couple can do for their children.
When the wife and child said goodbye, the five-year-old son didn't know how to react, and kept yelling ‘Mom, do n’t go’ But his wife could only repay bitter smiles and kisses, there was no other way.
The relief station no longer provided any relief, and an individual standing under the wall of the building was a slave trying to sell himself. Raymond had only been here for two or three hundred people before, but now there are thousands of people here.
The wife walked to the wall and offered to sell herself, while Raymond stood a few meters away, and the couple looked at each other. The wife was laughing, while Raymond was cold, and the child was crying, reaching for her mother's hug.
A vicious gunman walked through the crowd, and many people were watching him. The man looked down on the wall with a pride of arrogance and contempt. He focused on the woman, and when he came to Raymond's wife, he deliberately reached out and grabbed his chest.
Raymond turned away. He didn't want to listen to the bargain between his wife and the gunman, which made him feel humiliated. But he couldn't leave, he had to take out the food sold by his wife. The child was tired of crying and hungered again, which made his wife unable to persist with the gunman for too long, and 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: "Don't give up, dear Raymond, our children will be taken care of by you later. If it happens What a misfortune, I believe you did your best, we will see you in heaven. "
Raymond had no more tears, and his heart was broken at this moment.
His wife was taken away by the gunman. Raymond bit the half of the bun that was going to be crumpled and fed it into the child's mouth, choking as he fed. The child ate something and shouted ‘Mom’ with a little effort, but the mother was no longer there.
And what to do next? Raymond had no idea at all. He slowly walked out, and suddenly heard that there was noise in this slave market, 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 off, get off, we don't need ordinary labor this time, we need some senior talents. We need accountants, finance personnel, logistics management personnel, and intelligence analysts. .Who will do fake accounts? Tell me, who will do fake accounts? I now need someone who is good at doing fake accounts. "
This sound made Raymond like Wen Tianyan. He ran under the electric horn and shouted with all his strength: "I will make fake accounts. I am an actuary of PricewaterhouseCoopers. My greatest strength is I promise to do it perfectly, even if the IRS can't find any flaws. "
Raymond's roar even covered the sound of the electric horn. He slammed several people and rushed to the electric horn. "I, I, I, I can really do fake accounts. I am more than a hundred large companies in the world Fake accounts. Trust me, I'm an expert on this. "
The person holding the electric horn glanced at Raymond, and tilted his head and said, "Then you stand behind me."
Raymond hugged the child and hugged him tightly behind the person holding the electric horn. There were several soldiers with guns beside him to stop the crowd.
The electric horn recruited a lot of people this time, and soon more than fifty people stood behind him. Some people interviewed these people on the spot, passed them a piece of bread, and gave them water to drink.
Bread, bread, bread, sold his wife just half a loaf, and now Raymond has a loaf of bread. He quickly approached the electric horn and begged, "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 won't run ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and my wife used to be a dispatcher in New York Port, responsible for planning the transportation of goods and vehicle transfers. Do you need a dispatcher? Please hire my wife too. Monde begged.
The electric horn thought about it, and finally agreed to Raymond's request, sending someone to follow him to redeem his wife. Raymond chased after his wife in the direction he was taken away, and saw his wife being raped in a building ruin several hundred meters away.
"Wait, wait, I won't sell my wife. The bread is back to you. You just paid half a loaf of bread, and now I redeem my wife with a piece of bread." Raymond passed the bread in his palm, But during the fierce running, most of the bread fell apart.
"You're playing with me!" The refreshing gunman was furious and stood up with his pants on. His gun was going to kill Raymond. "No one can play with me."
Boom ..., a gunshot!
Raymond almost thought he was finished, but he opened his eyes after a long while, and saw the armed men following him blowing the muzzle, squinting his eyes and saying to him, "You and your wife are best A bit useful, otherwise Miss Fox will kill your whole family.
