Chapter 29 : Carter's request

Luwei suddenly saw a stack of bills here; his expression changed, and he waved his hand to Ike and said, "Hey! What's this for? Why... why did you suddenly give me money?"

Ike said, "Before the power outage, we took some cash from our house. You can take it and buy something outside to keep at home. Maybe we won't be able to buy it later."

Luwei pursed his mouth and bit for a moment, seeing that Ike was not joking at all. Luwei hesitated and hesitated to accept the money. Luwei folded it with both hands and pinched it until the money was tightly squeezed before stuffing it into the inner pocket of his leather jacket.

"Thank you, thank you very much, Ike," Luwei extended his hand and said, "Come in and have a cup of hot water for a while. I'll find a way to pay you back when the phone calls. I can't get the money anywhere now; I'm very grateful."

"No, I can't. We'll talk about repaying the money after the phone call. Now you should go shopping first; the earlier, the better," said Ike.

"Hey, okay, okay," said Lu Wei with a smile on his face. Ike was about to leave when Luwei suddenly stopped him. Luwei looked around again, seeing that there were no eavesdroppers, and whispered to Ike, "I see that you often go to the flooded market behind you recently. Can you get any resources there?"

In fact, Luwei had already wanted to ask, and once he saw Ike and his team moving gas tanks, natural gas, that's a very scarce fuel resource. But Luwei felt unfamiliar with Ike and Nigan, and was too embarrassed to ask. And at such times, how valuable these resources are, Luwei doesn't have the face to ask. Now Ai Ping is giving him money, indicating that he still values his neighbor who has known him for many years. So Luwei dared to ask.

Ike didn't want to deliberately hide it from him; after all, not everyone can do things like going into the water. Each based on their own abilities.

"The wholesale market over there is flooded with a lot of food underwater, and we occasionally dive down to get some up," Ike explained.

"So it is!" Luwei suddenly realized. "How deep is that water?" asked Luwei.

"A bit deeper, seven or eight meters. But there is an undercurrent inside, which would be more dangerous if it weren't for professional divers," Ike said truthfully.

Although there are supplies underwater, the water is dirty and smelly, and there is an undercurrent. How dangerous that is! Luwei considered it for a moment and thought it was okay.

"Well, forget it, this money will be enough for a while. Thank you very much, Ike," said LuWei.

Ike expressed understanding and then bid farewell. Luwei's house is located next to Regus', so it is only over 20 meters away from Ike's house in a straight line. Ike turned around and walked towards Regus' house. He won't go into the water today. He needs to train with Tom for physical fitness. However, Ike has not yet reached Rigus' house.

I heard arguments coming from the second floor of Kang Wen's house next to me, followed by a slamming of the door and Kang Wen's roar, but I didn't hear what was being scolded clearly.

Immediately after, Carter, with messy hair, walked out of the large iron gate on the first floor, with one side of her face red and swollen. There are several scars on the wrist. The red eyes looked a bit embarrassed. However, when she saw Ike standing not far away looking at her, she quickly tidied up her clothes and hair, and her expression returned to its usual "cool" appearance. Carl twisted his waist and stepped through the heavy rain to reach Regus' house. Riggs is instructing Tom to train there.

"Uncle Regus, can I ask you a favor?" Carter's tone was soft, and he could hear her asking for help.

Ike was a bit speechless and said, "Is this the way the word is used? It's all about Regus and Carter crossing generations. Regus is old enough to be Carter's father! The original intention of Ike giving money to Kang Wen was not to have too much contact with Kang Wen. I didn't expect Kang Wen to be such a coward and make his daughter go shopping in this situation. Don't you know that robbery and murder are common outside? Kang Wen is really a waste. If Carter were to go alone, it would be even more against Ike's original intention if something happened.

Regus went indoors to get his raincoat and equipment, and upon entering, he saw Nami leaning against the railing, staring at him. Regus felt a bit guilty and said, "... I'll go and come back." This kind of thing is not very easy to refuse! Besides, accompanying Carter to buy something shouldn't be considered a life- threatening activity, right? But Regus is still a little guilty. He glanced at Nami again. He noticed that Nami was just a bit unhappy, but she didn't explicitly stop him, so Regus breathed a sigh of relief and went to get his raincoat.

Wearing the equipment and coming out, Carter was wearing thin clothes and didn't even have an umbrella. How can he go out like this? Regus asked her if she didn't have a raincoat. "I'm not feeling well, maybe it's my period... it may not be very convenient," Carter said with his head lowered. "Menstruation is here! That's really not very convenient to go out. This girl's menstrual period is the most important. If she freezes, it will hurt the next time she comes, and it will not be good for the ovaries and uterus," Tom listened and wanted to hit someone.

"Is it great to have menstruation? If you have the ability to buy it yourself, what do you mean by treating us like errands? We are not your flower protectors. You can find anyone you like and don't indulge in debauchery here." Tom really doesn't like Carter.

"Stinky boy, how can you talk?" Regus said.

Tom curled his lips as if with a disdainful snort and gave Carter a dirty look.

Ike noticed something was wrong and whispered to Tom, "When did you guys have a grudge? It seems like our previous relationship wasn't so bad?"

Tom snorted coldly, "I have a big grudge against her."

Ike asked again, and Tom lowered his voice and said, "Where do you think Carter and his family got their food and drink? Not all of them were from my father Negan. I can't stand her, just because of her good face, she's so amazing."

Tom thinks the Carter family is hopeless. He thinks that Regus was deceived by Carter's "beauty" to secretly help her family. Ike doesn't think so. Negen is simply a warm-hearted person. Even if Carter's appearance is average, if he asks for help, Negan will still help. But Tom and Carter had unpleasant experiences before. This goes back several years ago when Tom and Carter had a mediocre relationship, but that was before Tom was beaten up by Carter's "suitors." Later on, they became very, very average. Regus over there has decided to help Carter go shopping and is inquiring about the details of what she wants to buy. Ike stood up and walked over. After all, it wasn't him who gave Kangwen money, and Regus didn't have to go on this trip either. The source of the matter is actually because of Ike. This matter cannot be fooled by Carter like this. Don't think that just one mouth can send Regus around. "Regus, I think we need to discuss this matter further," Ike interrupted them, his gaze fixed on Carter's slightly swollen right face. "There are more and more incidents of robbery and murder outside. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone."

Regus breathed a slight sigh of relief when he heard that Ike's tone was not meant to stop him.

"I'll call you Negan, and everything will be fine," Regus said.

"I don't mean that. What I mean is, if Carter's not in a hurry, we'll be going out tomorrow. By the way, you can help us take a trip and bring some things back," Ike said. "Really, every time they go out, they waste a set of clothes. Tomorrow, they will dive to find supplies, and it's okay to help Carter bring something back."

Regus thought that was okay, but Carter said, "No way. My mother's illness won't last. She can't get out of bed anymore."

"How could she be so seriously ill?" Regus quickly asked, "What disease?"

"I don't know," Carter's eyes turned red again. "My mother has a cold, her body is swollen, and she can't eat anything. I'm afraid she might have an accident."

"So what medicine do you want to buy?" Ike asked.

"I don't know... can you hire a doctor back?" Carter was a bit surprised that Ike might help her. She thought Ike was here to stop Riggs. Carter was worried just now because Ike hardly took the initiative to speak to her. The beauty that Carter prides herself on has never been effective in front of Ike.

Regus paused and said, "I'm afraid they won't be able to find a doctor in the current situation. You don't understand the situation outside; it's very chaotic now."

"What should I do?" Carter heard this and tears flowed down like two clear springs. She has never shed tears in front of outsiders, and Regus is okay, but Ike, who doesn't take her seriously, is also there. That's even worse. She quickly turned away her face and wiped away her tears with the palm of her hand.

Looking back, she wanted to speak again, but tears couldn't stop flowing out again. This time Carter couldn't even wipe her tears. ""I... I think her health is deteriorating," Carter said
