Chapter 159: Chapter 159: 159: The Last Day Tycoon (24)

Bang!

Before anyone could figure out what was happening, the entire vehicle suddenly took flight, followed by a sensation of weightlessness as it flipped and crashed to the ground.

Everyone was thrown in one direction.

Chuzheng: “…”

Damn thing!

Isn’t living a good thing?

You just had to come looking for death!

Ice edges spread across the ground at a visible speed from afar.

Chuzheng’s face was cold as she let go of Lu Ran, kicked the car door open, leaped out with agile movements, and stepped on the edge of the ice.

The ice spreading halted abruptly.

All was silent between heaven and earth.

The girl stood proudly, her presence so commanding that no one dared to take a step over her threshold.

Her cool gaze quietly watched the direction from which the ice had spread, her toes grinding on the icy surface.

The entire area covered by the ice began to crack, the snapping noise spreading into the distance.

Crash——

The ice edges rose from the ground, all sharp points aimed in a particular direction before shooting out.

The ice edges pierced through the container.

“Roar!”

An angry roar from the zombies resounded from behind the container.

A towering zombie leaped onto the container, its body riddled with numerous ice edges, which it began to pull out.

Within its grey pupils, it seemed as if a resentful glare flickered.

“Roar!” the zombie roared furiously at Chuzheng.

Chuzheng: “…”

What’s with all the roaring!

Are you the only one who knows how to yell?

Chuzheng raised her hand, and the zombie took a step back, but it didn’t recognize the danger and slightly crouched, ready to attack.

It wanted to tear this human to shreds!

Thwack——

An ice edge pierced through the back of the zombie’s head.

In the air, silvery streaks occasionally flashed by, as if this place had been turned into a deadly trap.

Chuzheng’s palm faced upward, and the zombie’s body began to disintegrate, a Crystal Core flying out from the powder and falling into her palm.

The Crystal Core was ice-blue, larger than those white ones they had now, and very beautiful too.

The Crystal Core began to change…

Chuzheng, holding the Crystal Core, turned around and headed towards the overturned vehicle.

“What are you looking at me for?”

Brother Yong and Brother Bao climbed out of the vehicle, staring at her dumbfounded.

“You…,” Brother Yong swallowed hard, “what exactly is your Special Ability?”

Even for him, facing the zombie from just now, he didn’t think he stood a chance.

But this girl, she had seemingly done next to nothing to take down that zombie.

What on earth was her Special Ability?

Chuzheng with a serious face: “I don’t have any Special Ability.”

Why won’t you believe me! Am I not sincere enough?

Chuzheng scanned the vehicle: “Get them out.”

Brother Yong: “…”

Brother Bao: “…”

–

Lu Ran was already injured, and now he had several more wounds on his body, looking like a bloody mess.

“Miss Chuzheng, that zombie…”

“Let’s leave here first.”

Brother Yong looked around: “I’ll go look for a vehicle.”

They were lucky to find a truck, which still held the weapons they had discovered earlier.

It wasn’t until they left the port that everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.

The zombie they had just encountered was terrifying.

Their experiences today, they estimated, would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

Not just because of the zombie, but also due to the shock Chuzheng had given them.

[Little Sister, aren’t you going to stop the bleeding for him?] Your Good Person Card is going to die from excessive blood loss!!

Chuzheng glanced at the blood-soaked Good Person Card with a bit of distaste, and boldly replied to the King’s Account: “I forgot.”

[…How could you forget? He’s your Good Person Card, if you don’t take good care of him, you’ll have to do it all over again, you know!]

Chuzheng: “…”

Your great uncle can do it all over!

[So, Little Sister, please be a good person, good people don’t act like this! You’re worse than a beast.] It’s no wonder the Good Person Card turns to the dark side.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

–

Lu Ran was awoken by the heat.

He propped himself up to sit, the blanket sliding off his body.

He pinched the fuzzy blanket, which weighed at least a few pounds, “…”

Which idiot?

It’s so hot, and someone covers him with a blanket?

Lu Ran looked around at where he lay, surrounded by weapon cases, some already opened, as he lay atop two adjacent ones.

The carriage was like a steaming basket, not to mention the blanket’s additional warmth.

Lu Ran threw the blanket aside.

How did he end up here?

Lu Ran thought for a while.

He remembered what happened in the basement.

He’d run into that woman again.

An instant knot formed in Lu Ran’s heart, why did he always meet her when he was most embarrassed? Was she doing this on purpose?!

Hiss…

Lu Ran raised his hand to massage his temple, his head ached as if stabbed with needles, sweating cold sweat again.

Screech—

The door was opened and Chuzheng hopped into the car, “You’re awake.”

Lu Ran instinctively raised his hand, intending to push down his hat, but grasped at air.

He caught a glimpse of his wrist.

The delicate watch made his wrist look fair.

Where did this come from?

“This?”

Chuzheng followed his gaze, “I gave it to you.”

I gave it to you!

Not I gave it as a gift…

Lu Ran felt a bit conflicted inside, why on earth would she give him this?

He retracted his hand uncomfortably, looked down, and leaned slightly to the side, smartly changing the subject, “Where am I, anyway?”

“On the vehicle.”

“…” He obviously knew he was in a vehicle! “Where to?”

“Back to the base.” Chuzheng found a place to sit down.

Lu Ran’s heart skipped a beat, a stream of ominous premonitions bubbling up.

Lu Ran’s eyes fell on the clothes he wore, which seemed different from the ones he was wearing before…

“Who changed my clothes?” She didn’t strip me, did she?!

Chuzheng wasn’t quite sure, “Yi Xiao, I guess.”

Lu Ran’s frown twitched, not hearing the answer he expected, which should have been a relief, yet it felt peculiar…

What’s strange, he couldn’t articulate it.

And what did she mean by ‘Yi Xiao, I guess’? She didn’t know who changed him either?!

“What about the blanket?” Lu Ran kicked at the blanket, thinking someone wanted to roast him alive?

“Me.”

“…” It wasn’t you who changed my clothes, but it was you who wanted to bake me to death!

Lu Ran turned his head, his beautiful eyes full of confusion, “Why did you cover me with a blanket?”

Chuzheng with a serious face, “To keep warm.” What else is a blanket for if not to keep warm?

Lu Ran didn’t know whether to laugh or be angry, a smile blooming on his pale face, as if spring flowers had burst into bloom, stunningly beautiful.

“Cover me to keep warm in this hot weather? Are you wishing for me to die faster?”

Chuzheng even more solemn, “You were very cold just now.”

Lu Ran, “…”

How can I not see that you’re making things up?

Chuzheng took Lu Ran down to sit in the car in front.

Only then did Lu Ran notice the size of the entire team was impressive.

“Lu Ran.” Yi Xiao greeted Lu Ran.

Without his hat, Lu Ran felt as though he’d lost his protective shell, quite uncomfortable, and greeted her with feigned ease, “We meet again.”

“How did you end up there?” Yi Xiao leaned over the seat, looking at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was really handsome.

Even as a straight guy, he felt a little moved.

Beauty truly knows no boundaries.

Lu Ran leaned toward Chuzheng, “Do you have a hat?”

Chuzheng glanced at him.

Lu Ran’s expression softened, his gaze faintly pleading; he didn’t like being watched like this.

Even if the onlooker meant nothing more than pure appreciation, he still didn’t like it.

But Lu Ran didn’t realize he could naturally show himself in front of Chuzheng.

Chuzheng pulled out a cap and put it on him.

The cap was beige with a cute design on it.

Although Lu Ran was slightly put off by the color, he wasn’t in a position to be picky at the moment.

Lu Ran’s lips curved into a smile, “Thanks.”

Chuzheng with sincerity, “I’m a good person.”

“…” Heh.
