Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Last Day Tycoon (23)
Lu Ran was already in poor shape, and nearly passed out after being flung by Chuzheng.

Only after doing so did Chuzheng realize that Good Person Card should not be treated that way.

She hurried forward to help him back up.

Lu Ran leaned against Chuzheng, breathing shallowly and his complexion ashen, his entire weight pressing on her.

The smell of blood was gradually replaced by a slightly familiar, faint fragrance.

Lu Ran inexplicably relaxed.

“You… why did you come here?” Lu Ran managed to lift his eyelids with some effort, his voice hoarse.

Chuzheng’s face was expressionless, “I told you not to run.”

Don’t listen to me.

This is what you get!

Good Person Card should be locked up for safety!

Lu Ran: “…”

“Can you walk?” Chuzheng asked him.

Leaning on her shoulder, when Lu Ran spoke, his breath hit Chuzheng’s neck, “What do you think?”

Chuzheng, feeling slightly uncomfortable, shifted back and tried to let go of him.

“…”

Where on earth did she get the idea that he could still walk!?

Lu Ran, unsteady, collapsed to the ground.

Lu Ran added Chuzheng to the blacklist again.

What Good Person?

Impossible!!

Chuzheng caught Lu Ran again, he was just too weak.

–

Chuzheng left the underground basement with the fainted Lu Ran.

Above them, chaos reigned; bullet traces were everywhere, and bodies could be seen from time to time.

“Miss Chuzheng, something’s not right…” Brother Yong frowned at the bodies.

“When we went into the basement, there were still noises, but as soon as we got down there, they stopped… who killed these people?” Yi Xiao wondered.

“The people just now?” He Cheng and Brother Bao said in unison.

“No.” Chuzheng kicked a body on the ground with her foot.

Everyone looked at her at the same time.

The story starts with the appearance of Ning You.

Ning You and his group were locked up right across from Chuzheng.

The kidnappers were about to withdraw and hadn’t left anyone to watch over them.

So, very soon, Ning You’s side managed to break open the door and planned to escape.

Thus, Chuzheng calmly betrayed them.

A fight naturally broke out between the two sides.

Ning You, leading his people, clashed with the group, while Chuzheng took advantage of the situation.

By the time they reached the basement, the noise from above had faded away.

In that situation, they believed the other side had gone after Ning You.

But now it seems like that wasn’t the case…

All these people were dead.

“These weren’t killed by humans.” Chuzheng’s gaze was calm as she looked towards the end of the corridor.

“Not by humans?”

Everyone’s hairs stood on end.

In this world, besides humans, there are only zombies.

Not killed by humans… doesn’t that mean they were killed by zombies?

But that’s not right!? How could a zombie leave behind whole bodies like this?

Don’t they bite a few times?

Could it be that the zombie who killed wasn’t hungry?

Brother Yong turned a body lying on the ground to reveal deep, bone-visible gashes on the chest, with flesh turned inside out.

Clearly, these wounds couldn’t have been made by a human.

“What zombie…” He Cheng began to shake, his face full of fear.

Chuzheng: “Evolved zombie.”

Brother Yong’s eyes narrowed as he felt danger all around, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

“Evolved zombies are that powerful?” Brother Bao was skeptical.

Chuzheng glanced at him, “We don’t know much about evolved zombies yet, but it wouldn’t be hard for one to kill these people by surprise.”

“Is it… is it still here?” He Cheng was more concerned about this.

“I don’t know.” Chuzheng continued walking downstairs with Lu Ran, “We’ll know if we encounter it.”

He Cheng: “…” No, I don’t want to meet them at all.

The others glanced at each other and quickly followed.

Behind them were the other survivors from the basement.

The descent was smooth, and no evolved zombies were encountered.

There were fewer corpses as they went down.

Many cars were missing from the parking area, likely having fled.

“Please take us with you!” a woman pleaded, clutching the car door with a face full of entreaty.

Behind her stood two other women and those two children, with the boy laid beside them, barely alive.

He Cheng, himself terrified, forcefully closed the door and quickly said, “I’m not the one in charge, ask them.”

Chuzheng, cradling Lu Ran in the back seat with the window half open, was approached by a woman: “Please, take us with you, I beg you.”

Chuzheng indifferently closed the window.

Yi Xiao, kindly pointing to the side, said, “There are cars over there, you can go on your own, sorry, we can’t take you.”

“You can’t leave us behind.” The woman suddenly screamed, frantically pulling at the door: “Let us in the car.”

The car shot out like an arrow released from its bow, and the woman was flung aside, tumbling to the ground, where the other survivors helped her up.

Yi Xiao looked at them with a face full of concern.

At that moment, Yi Xiao’s expression drastically changed.

Almost simultaneously, the woman’s scream came from behind them.

“Speed up, speed up!!” Yi Xiao yelled out loud.

Brother Yong also saw it in the rearview mirror.

Where those women had been standing, a zombie of about two meters tall appeared, leaping from the direction of the shipping containers.

It only took a blink of an eye, and those survivors were already dead.

The zombie chased after them, jumping several meters at a time.

Not only that, but the zombie also launched an attack. Ice-oriented special abilities shot from beneath their car, forming ice spikes directly ahead of them.

Brother Yong turned the wheel swiftly, steering the car into the gaps between the shipping containers.

Brother Bao, his nerves still jangling: “It has a special ability!”

Chuzheng, hugging Lu Ran, looked back and saw the zombie, gripping the containers like a gecko, chasing after them.

So terrifying!

Bang!

The body of the car suddenly shook.

Everyone inside the car froze simultaneously.

“It… Is it on the roof?”

The sound of nails scratching the roof was clear, letting everyone know it was on top of the car.

He Cheng was shaking like a leaf.

Yi Xiao clutched his gun, evidently very scared, while Brother Bao readied his special ability, warily watching the car window.

A black claw fell from the roof of the car, slowly and cautiously, as if probing.

Brother Bao hurled a ball of flame in a flash.

The claw rapidly retreated.

Then, the piercing sound from the roof grew louder, and the roof began to deform.

Everyone in the car dared not breathe; their hearts pounded so hard they felt as if they would leap from their chests, the tension thick in the air.

This zombie overturned their understanding.

Powerful, intelligent, terrifying…

Light seeped in from above, gradually revealing the black claws of the zombie as it continued to scratch at the roof.

The noise suddenly stopped.

Light poured in from the roof, but the zombie was nowhere to be seen.

Yi Xiao, “Where’s the zombie?”

Brother Yong frowned, “Did you all see it?”

Brother Bao craned his neck to look, “It’s not on the roof anymore!”

Clang!

The darkness suddenly fell ahead – the zombie scratching the roof had jumped onto the hood of the car.

It crouched on the hood, its grey, lifeless eyes fixed on them, appraising them in a human-like manner.

“Damn it!” Brother Yong cursed softly, shaking the car, trying to throw the zombie off.

But the zombie sat squat on the hood, unmoving.

Crash—

The windshield shattered, and broken glass cascaded down.

Chuzheng’s finger flicked through the air, and sensing danger, the zombie leapt back sharply.

Chuzheng’s outstretched fingers clenched and pulled forward.

The zombie suddenly raised its arm, severed its own limb, and jumped onto a shipping container, disappearing.

“…”

What just happened?
