Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1189: Chapter 1189: Dark Descent (Part 9)

Chuzheng didn’t leave Jiang Rushuang behind and directly took her away.

When the front team came into view, Chuzheng saw Gu He.

The line was long, so it wasn’t surprising they hadn’t noticed before.

When Gu He and her group saw them, they looked like they’d seen a ghost, each one frozen in place, their facial expressions changing like a color palette.

Chuzheng didn’t even glance at them, maintaining an air of a high-cold big shot and walked straight past.

Internal OS: Oh, I can finally vent my anger! When no one’s around, I’ll give that dog Gu He a good beating.

Jiang Rushuang bit her lips and didn’t speak, following Chuzheng closely, looking like a perfect little tag-along.

Back then, this group had abandoned her and Xiao Chu there... thinking about it truly chilled her heart.

Weren’t they just letting us die?

”They aren’t dead...”

”They’re actually in this group too, how come we didn’t see them before?”

”Hey, about that thing we did before...”

”Back then, we were just thinking about safety too, we didn’t do anything wrong, and aren’t they alive now?”

”But when I think about it, I still feel a bit...”

It would be better if they had died, but they didn’t.

Encountering them now made them feel somewhat guilty.

-

Not many people were going into the county town; Gu He’s group seemed to have relatives there they wanted to find.

The rescue team had advised them, but they wouldn’t listen.

However, Chuzheng knew that Gu He probably wasn’t simply going in to find people; she had Jiang Rushuang’s Space ability, and if not for another purpose, she likely wanted to gather more supplies.

At the start of the apocalypse, zombies were slow, and supplies were abundant, so now was the easiest time to hoard resources.

”Where’s Ji Lin?”

”Captain Shan, we haven’t seen him.”

The captain, with a headache, scanned the surroundings, and someone raised a hand from behind: ”Captain Shan, Ji Lin seemed to have gone in first.”

”Forget it, let’s not worry about him, move out.” Captain Shan waved.

[Hidden task: Please obtain one ”Good Person Card” from Ji Lin and prevent the Good Person Card from darkening.]

Oh dear, hasn’t he darkened yet this time?

[...]

What does the lady mean with that disappointed tone?

[Suggest the lady first find your Good Person Card~] The King’s Account cheerfully reminded Chuzheng.

Why?

[Because the Good Person Card needs you~] The King’s Account replied very officially.

Chuzheng: ”...”

The hell do I know where to find him!

Give me the information!

[...]

Ji Lin.

Just before the apocalypse, his father had sent him to the squad, and before the paperwork was complete and he officially started, he encountered the global apocalypse survival exercise.

Ji Lin awakened two special abilities...

Yes, two.

Doesn’t it feel like a protagonist’s setting?

Pity!

He’s not the protagonist!

He’s just an unlucky guy, still a weak chicken!

One Ice Series ability, and one ability to distinguish zombies from humans.

Chuzheng understood the Ice Series ability.

But the ability to distinguish zombies from humans... what kind of strange setting is that?

Isn’t it obvious who zombies are, do you still need a special ability to tell?

[As long as someone is bitten by a zombie, whether or not they have zombified, he can tell.]

That’s really impressive, huh?

[...] Feels like the lady is being sarcastic.

Ji Lin originally didn’t want to go, and since he was not officially part of the squad, naturally he didn’t obey orders. After the virus outbreak, although he followed the main group along the way, he would do whatever he wanted.

On the way to the base, they passed through a county town where Ji Lin acted alone, and encountered zombies.

Originally, Ji Lin could have escaped, but unexpectedly ran into Gu He and others.

Gu He and them held Ji Lin back, and in the end even pushed him out to buy time for their escape.

Ji Lin ended up turning into a zombie.

For some unknown reason, after turning into a zombie, Ji Lin still retained his consciousness.

But after zombification, some of his thoughts were affected, and so he... darkened.

Chuzheng: ”...”

So where they’re going now is that county town, encountering Gu He, and then getting bitten?

How miserable.

So where am I supposed to save my Good Person Card?

Can’t the Good Person Card save himself?

A mature Good Person Card, if it can’t even save itself, what’s the use? Might as well just die where it stands.

[...] The King’s Account maintains a smile service: [You can do it, young lady, unless you don’t mind him being a zombie.]

Can he become the Zombie Emperor?

[Young lady, do you think a Zombie Emperor is like cabbage? Daydreaming isn’t supposed to be this way!]

”...”

Chuzheng rubbed her chin.

You bastard, do you think zombies listen better, or do humans?

[...] The King’s Account totally doesn’t understand why the lady is pondering such questions, it’s a mature system, it must tolerate the lady, tolerate... calm!

[Young lady, even if the Good Person Card turns into a zombie, his mind and his human self are no different, it might even be harder to handle.]

”...”

Aren’t zombies supposed to be clumsy little cuties that you point and they strike?

[...] Sorry, just to interrupt, where are the zombies from? Are zombies like this in the lady’s eyes?!

Turns out it’s still too young to keep up with the lady’s thought process.

Chuzheng pondered for a bit with a sneaky thought, a flash of inspiration: So all I need to do is deal with Gu He, right?

[...]

You are really smart.

The King’s Account decided to go offline to take a break.

Talking with her any longer, it’s going to have a heart attack!

After entering the county town, they stopped at a safe place, and Captain Shan handed out missions.

Gu He glanced at Chuzheng leaning against the car and took the initiative to walk up to Captain Shan: ”Captain Shan, we can manage on our own, just give us a meeting point and we’ll meet up there.”

”Are you guys okay with that?” Captain Shan frowned, as these people were all students.

Gu He didn’t hold back: ”No problem, there is a special ability user in our group, and Qiu Feng grew up here, he’s familiar with the place and can guide us.”

Captain Shan looked at the young man named Qiu Feng.

They wanted to enter the county mainly to find Qiu Feng’s parents.

Although Captain Shan thought the chances were slim...

”Alright then.”

Captain Shan wasn’t a stubborn person, he’d advised them to value their lives, and if they insisted, he wouldn’t stop them.

Captain Shan distributed some equipment and signal flares, so if something happened, they would try their best to rescue them.

If they couldn’t make it, they’d have to rely on themselves.

Of course, it was best not to encounter any danger.

Gu He left with her group, and as Captain Shan thought of Chuzheng, he turned around only to find that the person who had been leaning against the car was nowhere in sight.

”Where are they?”

”Captain, who are you asking about?”

Captain Shan pointed at the car behind: ”Those two girls.”

”...”

No one really noticed when those two girls left.

Chuzheng led Jiang Rushuang, trailing not too far behind Gu He’s group.

”Xiao Chu, why are we following them?” Jiang Rushuang asked, puzzled.

”Be quiet.”

Jiang Rushuang looked ahead, then at Chuzheng, and chose to close her mouth.

Gu He’s group didn’t go far before they encountered zombies, but since there was a special ability user in the group, these few stray zombies weren’t difficult to handle.

However, the two girls in Gu He’s group were obviously still not used to it, backing away as soon as they saw zombies; not screaming was already the limit for them.
