Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Dark Descent (Part 28)

”Ah—”

Mournful screams echoed through the zombie horde, with special abilities flashing in that area.

Ji Lin propped himself on the car hood, jumped to the top, and looked over there.

Chuzheng leaned against the car door, staring expressionlessly at the surging zombie horde.

This is a classic case of getting yourself into trouble.

Don’t follow this example!

From this case, we can also conclude one thing—robbery is a no-go, especially robbing from me.

Master Ba originally wanted a quick resolution. If it had been someone else, seeing so many zombies, they would have already been scared out of their wits. He could safely retreat with the goods in hand, with plenty of time.

But who thought he’d encounter a weirdo like Chuzheng.

Ji Lin sat on the car roof, one leg slightly bent, with a bit of roguish charm: ”I’ve always wanted to ask, why is your special ability so strong?”

He had witnessed the ability to turn zombies into dust before but never asked.

”Born with it.” Chuzheng paused, then added to him: ”You can be envious for a moment.” Just won’t let you experience it, otherwise rewinding... not sure if a pulverized Good Person Card can be rewound.

Whew...

My Good Person Card, can’t have such bad thoughts.

Mine, mine, mine...

Today, striving to be a good person again.

Ji Lin didn’t know what Chuzheng was thinking, just felt her words were somewhat annoying, similar to how those people in the past felt like pounding him in moments of frustration.

”So what is this now?”

Ji Lin raised his hand toward the void since he couldn’t see anything and didn’t know what he was pointing at.

”... Special ability.” After saying this, Chuzheng nodded to herself as if convincing even herself.

Ji Lin’s mouth twitched: ”How many special abilities do you have exactly?”

Space, Thunder Series, the one that killed zombies just now, and this strange protective circle...

He thought having two special abilities was already impressive!

”Does it matter?” Chuzheng slightly tilted her head, revealing a section of her snow-white, slender neck: ”As long as I’m strong enough to protect you, it’s fine.”

Ji Lin: ”...”

Ji Lin gave a forced smile: ”I thought you were putting me under house arrest.”

Chuzheng fell silent: ”If you think so, I have no objection.”

Ji Lin: ”...”

Really can’t have a conversation.

Ji Lin chose to keep quiet.

-

The ones who could run had already escaped, those who couldn’t became zombie fodder, and now the problem is...

How are they going to get out of the densely surrounded zombie punishment circle?

The fact is, nothing can thwart Chuzheng; she has her ways of getting out.

They left the city and returned to the base all the way.

After completing the mission, the receptionist stopped them again: ”There’s a clue to the mission you posted before. Someone says they know some information, here’s the contact information.”

The mission posted before... the Good Person Card’s boyfriend.

The receptionist gave an address, right in the base.

”Do you want to go find it?” Chuzheng handed the address to Ji Lin.

”Of course.” Ji Lin smiled: ”Do you want to come with me?”

”Let’s go.”

”...” And just like that, they went.

Ji Lin thought about his current situation, glanced at the address on the paper, smirked slightly, and followed Chuzheng.

Even though they were in the base, Chuzheng still had Jiang Rushuang accompany them, to prevent anyone with bad intentions from becoming a hassle she’d have to rescue from.

Currently, the base is divided into zones, and they live in the relatively better Zone 3. Now they had to go to Zone 6.

A particularly chaotic area.

Being in the base doesn’t mean you’ll live well.

Such a large base, with resources scarce, can’t care for everyone.

These people saw the base as a fortress and refused to go outside to gather supplies or work for the officials, so they could only huddle here, barely getting by.

Zone 6 was almost crowded, with people laying mats on the roadsides, some even fighting over mat space.

Grabbing food was even more of a daily occurrence.

People like Chuzheng and Ji Lin walking here resembled tender sheep straying into a tiger’s lair, eyed by these survivors as if at any sign of weakness, they would swarm them.

Ji Lin carried a weapon, occasionally exposing it, so people dared not approach.

He followed the address on the slip to a tube-shaped apartment building.

The tube-shaped apartment building was covered in clutter, occupied outside and emitting an unpleasant odor in the air.

”Ah...”

Jiang Rushuang suddenly muttered softly, shifting toward Chuzheng.

Chuzheng turned back: ”What’s wrong?”

Jiang Rushuang’s face flushed red, glancing at the standing or sitting people around her, whispering: ”Someone touched me.”

Chuzheng looked back to where Jiang Rushuang was earlier; only one person could have touched her.

It was a man, a bit skinny, dressed in dirty clothes, hair unwashed for ages, knotted and messy, like many here in Zone 6.

The man looked at them fearlessly, even bringing his hand to his nose for a sniff, as if provoking.

Jiang Rushuang’s stomach turned at the man’s overt gaze, clutching Lele tightly.

Lele, on the contrary, was ignorant and unafraid, wide-eyed, staring at that man.

Chuzheng turned back, seeing it was a woman coming over, the man wasn’t afraid at all, even wanting to act daringly.

But who knew, before his thoughts spun entirely, he was already kicked to the ground by Chuzheng, those around scattering in a flurry, watching the fierce girl teaching the man a harsh lesson.

”Ah—”

The man cradled his hand, screaming terribly.

The girl gazed down at him from above, coldly saying: ”You should be thankful this is the base.”

Chuzheng raised her eyes, sweeping over the crowd. They backed further, their gaze toward her filled with fear and dread.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is glaringly evident in such an environment.

The aggressive girl, pleased, withdrew her gaze, walked back confidently, and leisurely: ”Let’s go.”

Jiang Rushuang’s gaze at Chuzheng was sparkling, probably if Chuzheng were male, she’d immediately marry her on the spot.

Ji Lin simply smiled. When they reached the stairs, he leaned slightly: ”Didn’t see before, little poker-face, you’re quite helpful.”

”You’re overthinking.” Chuzheng spoke evenly: ”Without Jiang Rushuang cooking and tidying, it would be troublesome.”

No way would her little lackey be bullied! Where would her leader’s reputation sit!

”Is that so... there are so many people outside, anyone could do it. Jiang Rushuang has no special ability, she should be a burden to you.” Ji Lin winked at her: ”By your theory, you’d carry a burden?”

Chuzheng confidently: ”She has Space.”

Ji Lin: ”...” That was snatched back by you! Also, don’t you have Space yourself.

”Hurry up.” Chuzheng suddenly placed her hand at his waist, pushing him upstairs, with a sinister tone: ”Your boyfriend’s waiting for you.”

Ji Lin laughed helplessly, following Chuzheng’s push up the stairs.
