Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: Dark Descent (Part 26)

Chuzheng finished eating and glanced out the window. She could see the place where she left Gu He from here—no one was there now. Probably, he was found by people from Gu He’s group.

Chuzheng looked towards where they rested yesterday...

”That group is gone.” Ji Lin leaned nearby, biting on a box of yogurt, ”Where are you planning to go now?”

”Go back.”

The main objective of this trip was to snatch the Jade Pendant.

With the objective achieved, it’s certainly time to go back...

Wait a minute.

It seems that she had taken on a mission.

So I could just follow Gu He stealthily, why did I impulsively take on a mission?

”What about that person?”

”Feed him to the zombies.” Chuzheng casually replied.

Ji Lin neither agreed nor disagreed.

Chuzheng paused for a moment, could it be that the Good Person Card is scared? Will the Good Person Card still think I’m a good person?

But this person previously wanted their lives... Do I still need to keep him for the new year?

Ji Lin drank the yogurt to the last drop, sucking noisily a few times without any regard for image, then he stylishly threw the empty carton into the trash can in the room: ”That Master Ba, aren’t you curious?”

Can control zombies.

”Curiosity killed the cat.”

”Are you afraid of dying?” Ji Lin seemed to have heard something interesting, three parts amusement shining in his eyes, ”I thought you weren’t afraid of dying.”

Previously, which of her actions seemed like she was afraid of dying?

”I’m reminding you.” Chuzheng said nonchalantly, ”Don’t get bitten by a zombie.”

She said it and started walking towards Jiang Rushuang.

Ji Lin was a bit annoyed by the words ’zombie bite’, who does she look down upon?

When Ji Lin went out, that Hei Tan was already gone. Chuzheng was slowly going downstairs, carrying Jiang Rushuang’s bag in her hand.

Jiang Rushuang was holding Lele, coaxing him while following Chuzheng. The scene looked... very much like a family of three.

Ji Lin was disgusted by this thought.

But then, he felt slightly annoyed again.

As for what he was annoyed about, Ji Lin didn’t know.

When Ji Lin went down, he first glanced at the trunk. The corpse was still curled up in the back, in a strange position.

”Why are you bringing him? In this hot weather, he’ll rot quickly, I don’t want this stuff in my car!”

Chuzheng suggested to him, ”Freeze him.”

”...” I... I want to freeze you!!

Ji Lin wrapped the corpse in ice, maybe due to his special ability, this kind of ice didn’t melt quickly.

”Didn’t you say you were going back? Why are you driving towards the city center?”

”The mission isn’t complete.”

Missions...

Right.

They still needed to find the equipment.

-

Chuzheng, following the information provided officially, quickly found the necessary equipment, all small pieces that were easy to move.

With space manipulation cheats, it was even easier to move.

However, to avoid attracting attention, they still put the equipment on a truck.

”Who’s driving?”

Ji Lin immediately hopped into his precious car, ”I’m not going.”

Jiang Rushuang was taking care of the child.

So, only...

Chuzheng: ”...” I’m not going! I want to stay with the Good Person Card!

Jiang Rushuang asked weakly, ”Why are we not sitting in the truck together?”

Ji Lin leaned on the steering wheel with a half-smile, ”If you want to go, you go, but I definitely won’t.”

Chuzheng felt a bit melancholic, her eyes were cold as she slowly said, ”Looks like we need a driver.”

Jiang Rushuang: ”...”

Ji Lin: ”...”

Chuzheng found a car by the roadside and left alone; after not too long, she somehow brought back that Hei Tan.

Hei Tan was trembling, if not afraid of attracting zombies, he would probably be crying his heart out.

Hei Tan had narrowly escaped with his life and dared not disobey, obediently going to the back to drive the truck.

”Aren’t you afraid he’ll run away?”

”He doesn’t dare.”

Ji Lin raised an eyebrow, ”Why, what did you do to him?”

Chuzheng fastened her seatbelt indifferently, ”You don’t want to know.”

Ji Lin: ”...”

Ji Lin started the car, and as he drove for some time, he noticed the person was following obediently behind and didn’t take any of the side roads he could have used to escape.

-

The skyscraper in the city center.

A man was sitting on a leather sofa with his legs crossed, smoking a cigar. There was red wine and steak on the table. If it weren’t for the devastated city outside, no one would think this man was living in a post-apocalyptic world.

”Master Ba.”

Someone came in from outside, bowing respectfully before stepping forward.

”We just caught a few survivors outside, and one of them claims to have very important information for you.”

The man exhaled a puff of smoke, ”It’s just a matter of life and death, what important matter could there be.”

”She seems very confident, maybe she really has some news, it wouldn’t hurt for Master Ba to listen.” That person cautiously advised.

Master Ba seemed to find the subordinate’s words reasonable and waved his approval.

It was none other than Gu He who was brought up.

All her companions were held below, and she was the only one now.

Gu He had been rescued by her companions but hadn’t gone far before encountering these people.

Master Ba inspected Gu He for a few seconds, she was passably pretty. However, Master Ba was clearly no ordinary man; on the contrary, he seemed a notch above everyone, expressing disdain and hatred.

Without her Space and Special Ability, Gu He felt insecure under Master Ba’s scrutiny, appearing somewhat cowering.

Master Ba tutted softly, ”What information do you have?”

Gu He clenched her palms, ”I can only tell you privately.”

”I’m not in the mood to play with you. Say it if you want, or leave if you don’t,” Master Ba was not as accommodating.

Gu He: ”...”

Gu He bit her lip, ”There are still a few people in this city, and they have something you might be interested in.”

When that jade pendant was snatched by Chuzheng, she could still feel it, but after that, she couldn’t sense it anymore.

It felt as if her bond with the Space had been severed.

Originally planning to get it back somehow, who knew they’d run into these madmen who didn’t plan to let them live.

Master Ba raised an eyebrow, ”Oh? What is it?”

Gu He suddenly lifted her head, bloodshot eyes filled with resentment, and her dry, cracked lips uttered two words, ”The Space.”

-

In the narrow alley, several cars were parked silently.

In the car in the middle, Master Ba was polishing a gun, while the tense Gu He sat across from him.

”Do you know the consequence if you are lying to me?”

”I’m not lying.” Gu He clenched her hands tightly, constantly glancing towards the rear covered with the black light-proof cloth, as if there was something terrifying behind, even her voice trembled, ”That jade pendant is a Space.”

Master Ba nodded and looked outside the alley. Almost at once, a car sped past, followed by a truck.

Master Ba pulled off the light-proof cloth with a swipe, revealing a cage behind, with a zombie inside.

The zombie was not large, no more than ten years old.

Curled up in the cage, it was different from other zombies; though its body was decayed and zombified, one of its eyes was still human-like, clear.
