Chapter 139: Chapter 139: The Last Day Tycoon (4)

“`

Roar, roar, roar—

Zombies chased a car at breakneck speed. Ravenous for flesh, they were extremely excited by the fresh food source within the vehicle.

Ratatat…

“Damn, how come these disgusting creatures just can’t be killed off!”

“We’re out of bullets.”

“What do we do!”

“Up ahead, up ahead!!”

The car screeched to a halt, its occupants cornered by zombies on a street.

Yi Xiao stood on higher ground, surveying the battle below, debating, “Should we save them?”

They had been on the road several days, their car broken down, hoping to find a new one here.

Hearing the commotion, they climbed up a building.

“They have guns,” Chuzheng said calmly.

Although guns were usable by anyone in this post-apocalyptic world, firearms were still not easy to come by and not everyone had one.

Yi Xiao assumed Chuzheng meant they were safe because they had guns and was considering rescuing them.

“So, should we help them up here?”

Who knew Chuzheng would respond with an expressionless face, “Wait for them to die, then we’ll go down and pick up their gear.”

Yi Xiao: “…”

Brother Bao slapped Yi Xiao on the head, “Stop playing the saint, who knows what kind of people they are downstairs. Do you want to repeat the mistake of inviting wolves into our house?”

It’s the freaking end of the world.

Who cares about niceties now.

Killing for a piece of bread isn’t unheard of.

Yi, the Saintly, Xiao: “…”

Yi Xiao didn’t dare to utter another word.

The people below were quickly wiped out, but the zombies didn’t disperse. Instead, they lingered, making scavenging for equipment a bit tricky.

Chuzheng went downstairs to a toy store and disassembled some remote-controlled cars.

After using them at full volume to lead the zombies away, Chuzheng swaggered out to collect the gear.

The car was still operational, stocked with plenty of food and gasoline to travel a fair distance.

Yi Xiao brought up the rear, sighing heavily, yet he ate more than anyone when it was time to eat.

Chuzheng: “…”

Was this guy even a real saint?

Click—

Brother Bao and Yi Xiao exchanged glances and immediately turned towards the source of the sound, ready for action.

A small zombie staggered out from that direction.

Bang—

The gunshot sounded.

The zombie hit the ground.

Pocketing her gun, Chuzheng settled in the passenger seat: “Drive.”

Yi Xiao looked towards He Cheng, “Kinda cool.”

He Cheng: “Hmm.”

Brother Bao: “…”

What about my six-pack abs? Haven’t heard a word of praise for those!

Qingan Base was far away from them. They needed to find the way, as well as food, water, and gasoline, so their progress was slow.

Passing through a city, they encountered a team.

This team was also heading to Qingan Base. They were ahead, and Chuzheng and company had no opportunity to overtake them, so they could only follow behind.

[Hidden task: Please obtain one Good Person Card for Miss Chuzheng to prevent Lu Ran from turning to the dark side.]

[Miss, wake up, wake up, hey!]

[Miss, zombies are coming!]

[Miss, there’s a fire, an earthquake!]

[Miss, you died!]

Chuzheng bolted upright, her tone menacing: “Bastard, are you sick?” You’re the one who’s dead!

“`

Chuzheng was woken up in the middle of the night by the noise from King’s Account, and now a coldness hovered around her within a ten-meter radius.

“Lady sister, you’ve got a Good Person Card~” Lady sister treats me like a Bastard, but I treat lady sister as if she’s my first love, always smiling and providing service.

Chuzheng lay back down, “What good card, make noise again and I’ll deal with you.”

Making me look for a Good Person Card in the middle of the night? Bastard, what country’s time are you using? Are you crazy!

“…”

–

In the middle of the group, most people were already up, making noises and clamoring like a marketplace.

Chuzheng walked into the center, finding a spot to stand.

At the center, a group of seemingly young teenagers, though bedraggled, had much more poise than ordinary people.

Many were cursing at them, “He got bitten, why didn’t you say anything? Do you want to kill us all?”

“If it weren’t for someone noticing, we’d all be finished!”

“He got bitten…”

“Really? I was so close to him just now, it scared me to death.”

Some defended themselves, “We didn’t know!”

But no one listened to their defense.

The one they were talking about who got bitten was a boy in black sitting against the car, his head hanging low, his expression indiscernible.

His sleeve, which someone had tugged at, was torn, revealing clear scratch marks on his arm.

“Tie him up.”

“Just kill him, he’s surely going to turn into a zombie after being bitten.”

“There are so many of us in the group; if he turns into a zombie and bites us, then we’re really finished.”

“Let him leave by himself…”

The group was noisy, some suggested that the boy should leave on his own, some said to tie him up, and there were a few who were so scared they wanted the boy killed.

“Lu Ran…” a male student said to the boy with a frown, “You’ve been bitten, why don’t you leave on your own? Don’t put everyone in a difficult position.”

“Senior, isn’t that too much? We can tie him up, what if he doesn’t turn into a zombie?” a female student said weakly, yet she didn’t dare to look in the boy’s direction.

“It’s not up to me now.” The male student said helplessly, “Look at the people around, if we let him stay, we might get kicked out ourselves.”

The girl mumbled something, clearly frightened, and didn’t argue for the boy any further.

The others didn’t make a sound, avoiding looking at the boy.

The boy lifted his gaze to look at the male student, letting out a sneer with an ambiguous meaning.

He stood up, coming into the light.

He was taller than the male student, his stature imposing a sense of pressure as he stood up; the light was too strong, still making it hard to see his face clearly.

“Good luck to you all.”

The boy’s voice was clear and pleasing to the ear, with a touch of mockery at the end.

He pulled a hat down over his head and headed towards the back of the group to leave.

“Lu Ran…”

Someone called his name, wanting to follow him, but was held back by the male student.

The girl who had spoken for the boy looked guilty and distressed, “Isn’t it too much to not give him anything?”

Someone scoffed disdainfully, “Give him what? He’s been bitten; he’s as good as dead.”

“But there’s still a chance to awaken a Special Ability, right?”

“Forget it, do you think he can come across that one in ten thousand chance?”

“Anyway, he was just a waste of food in the group. You girls just care about looks. Can his good looks feed you, fill your stomachs? Better off dead.”

“That’s not how you say it…” The rebuttal from the girls became quieter.

The crowd made way for the boy, as if afraid he would suddenly go berserk and bite them.

The boy lowered his hat brim with his hand, passed through the crowd, and left until he disappeared into the darkness; only then did the group breathe a sigh of relief.

Chuzheng returned to where the cars were parked.

The commotion was too great upfront, and except for Brother Bao who was on night watch, Yi Xiao and He Cheng were also standing outside the car.

“What happened up front? I just saw someone walking towards the back, in the middle of the night. Was he driven out or…” Yi Xiao wiped his glasses and put them on.

Chuzheng started to reverse the car.

“Eh… are we leaving?” Yi Xiao looked confused.

Brother Bao was also puzzled, but still promptly got into the passenger seat, and Yi Xiao and He Cheng exchanged glances before hurriedly getting into the car.
