Chapter 148: 148: The Last Day Tycoon (13)



No sooner had Brother Yong dealt with one issue than the Water Series Special Ability User in the squad exhausted his ability and ran out of water.

They needed water for cooking at the moment, and the sudden absence of it caused an instant uproar within the team.

“He just took a bath, and I hardly used any, why are you all blaming me?”

Suddenly, a pot smashed onto Lu Ran’s head.

The Water Series Special Ability User had already accumulated some water for cooking, but in the blink of an eye, Xiner and two other girls used it to take a bath.

Now being accused, Xiner immediately pointed the finger at Lu Ran.

Brother Yong was already in a bad mood and now, with women squabbling, he was even more annoyed, “You took the water to use without asking, who gave you the right?”

“Why does he get to huh?” Xiner stood beside a man, retorting with indignation.

“Brother Yong, let’s just drop it, it’s only a little water. When his ability recovers, we’ll have water. Xiner and the few girls wanted to take a bath, it’s understandable. That guy… he took one too, Brother Yong you can’t be biased, right?”

The man’s words were either quelling the flames of conflict or fanning them.

Brother Yong felt like his head would explode with anger.

The guy had exchanged Crystal Cores for it! Can you compare?!

Did you bloody exchange Crystal Cores?!

Bathing, bathing, bathe my ass!

“If a guy can bathe, why can’t I?” Xiner leaned against the man, feeling very wronged.

This matter had nothing to do with Chuzheng, she was just watching coldly.

Brother Yong scolded the group harshly, and Xiner along with the other two girls didn’t dare speak up again.

Considering previous grievances, Xiner probably took Chuzheng as her enemy unilaterally.

Girls’ hatred is just so inexplicable.

They say they hate you and they just do.

Completely baseless!

Brother Yong gave the Water Series Special Ability User a Crystal Core to recover his ability and continue supplying water.

At night, Lu Ran leaned against the wall, keeping his eyes on Chuzheng.

Suddenly, Chuzheng walked over to him and sat down beside him, “Hot?”

Before Lu Ran could reply, Chuzheng draped her arm over his shoulder, pulling him towards her embrace, “Sleep.”

Lu Ran: “…”

All he wanted was to find a chance to run away.

Because of the bathing incident, the team began to subtly split.

Brother Yong didn’t react much, still giving what was due, but he didn’t spare those looking for trouble.

They tried to covertly win over the Water Series Special Ability User.

But the Water Series Special Ability User stated he wouldn’t join them, and without him, they didn’t dare to confront Brother Yong openly.

The squad staggered along and finally safely arrived at Qingan Base.

Outside Qingan Base, a long line snaked around.

Many people lingered outside because they couldn’t afford the entry resources.

On the cracked ground, people sat despondently, watching the passersby with despair.

“Save my child, please…”

“Give me some water to drink.”

“Give me something to eat, please…”

Lu Ran propped his chin, observing the world outside the vehicle window.

“End of the world…” Brother Bao couldn’t help but curse under his breath, “This motherfucking…”

Those without Special Abilities had to queue for inspection and quarantine while those with them didn’t need to, they could go straight in.

Chuzheng, worried that Lu Ran would take the chance to run away, asked Brother Yong’s men to keep an eye on him.

“What’s your relationship with her?” Brother Yong couldn’t help but ask.

Lu Ran pulled his hat lower, “Would you believe me if I said there’s no relationship?”

“Heh,” Brother Yong laughed with ambiguous meaning, not taking the Special Ability User’s passage, but instead followed Lu Ran to another passage for inspection.

After all, he was paid to keep an eye on this young master.

Lu Ran: “…”

Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t escape here!

“Why do you listen to her so obediently?” Lu Ran asked, puzzled.

“`

“She has… money.” There were too many eyes around, so Brother Yong didn’t say Crystal Core, but Lu Ran understood.

After all, she could bring out a Crystal Core anytime, anywhere.

“How can you be so corrupt?”

“Young master, if you give me money, I can let you go too,” Brother Yong patted his shoulder.

“…”

Go to hell, young master!

Qingan Base was essentially a town.

There was a military presence there, and when the zombies first broke out and were moving slowly, they immediately cleaned up the entire town’s zombies, hence Qingan Base was established.

“Miss Chuzheng, we’d like to find a place to stay first, and then make plans,” Brother Yong took Lu Ran out and handed him back to her.

“Mm.” Chuzheng naturally took Lu Ran’s hand.

Lu Ran: “…”

The other three came over as well.

“The trade is done, do as you please.” No need for a driver for the time being!

Brother Bao and the other two were clearly stunned for a moment.

Lu Ran was also slightly surprised; he thought that these three were with her, apparently not?

After hesitating for a while, Brother Bao eventually said goodbye to Chuzheng and left.

Lu Ran, with his free hand, adjusted the edge of his hat, his gaze falling on the girl’s profile. Despite having come all this way together, she seemed to have no feelings whatsoever.

Lu Ran was worried about his future.

He needed to find a chance to run away.

If you wanted to find shelter in the base, you could go to the specially delineated super-luxury private rooms—sleeping under the open sky, with the heavens as your blanket and the earth as your mattress.

Alternatively, you could rent one of the town’s houses with supplies.

However, housing resources were now scarce, and the place where they were allocated had started to devolve into an auction model.

An auction was held every hour, and the highest bidder got the spot.

Moreover, getting a room didn’t mean it was only for you. In a typical ten-square-meter room, it was common to live with three others.

[Main Quest: Spend two hundred Crystal Cores within an hour.]

Chuzheng: “…”

Bastard, this damn thing!

Chuzheng kicked a wooden plank beside her in a rage, startling Lu Ran: “What are you doing?”

“There was a mosquito.” Chuzheng’s face was indifferent.

“…”

Kick a mosquito with your foot?

Lu Ran’s heart trembled—could she have some psychological issues? No, he absolutely had to run away!

Wait, are there even mosquitoes in this weather?

At this moment, everyone was lining up to get a number. Chuzheng used Crystal Cores to cut in line.

“What are you doing cutting in line?” Someone immediately became unhappy behind Chuzheng: “Don’t you have any manners?”

“I didn’t cut in your line.”

“…”

The person who swapped places with Chuzheng had to take her number and line up again in the back, without actually affecting anyone else.

If one is willing to hit and the other is willing to endure, who can say anything?

The person probably spoke out in a moment of irritation and now couldn’t back down.

People were now queuing to log their preferences for the type of house they wanted. After making a decision, they would go to the respective rooms to bid in the auction.

Although this official mode seemed somewhat like extortion, on someone else’s turf, you had to play by their rules.

“How many people are staying, and do you have any requirements?”

When it was Chuzheng’s turn, the registrar asked impatiently.

“Do you have any villas?”

“…” The registrar looked up at Chuzheng: “Are you here on vacation? This is the apocalypse, and you still want to live in a villa. Why don’t you say you want to go to the moon?”

“Oh, can you do that?”

The girl’s cold gaze fixed on the registrar, who felt slightly intimidated, struggling to discern the meaning behind Chuzheng’s words.

“There are no villas.” The registrar said sternly: “Hurry up, there are so many people behind you, don’t waste time!”
