Chapter 23 - New Types of Zombies

"Little Ye, are you looking for trouble here? What kind of brother do you take me as? To take advantage of you at this moment of time, how do you want your older brother to go out and meet people?" Pang Zhi was the first to jump out and object.

Hua Peng was also dissatisfied: "Little Ye, you didn't think of us as friends when you said that. It's just an insignificant few millions. Are our brothers short of that kind of money?"

Qiu Xiao Hao was more direct: "If you want to say this again in the future, I will not be your brother anymore. Really, who do you think I am?"

Li Jing Zhou was born poor. He could not afford to say such bold words. Besides, while he had worked hard for more than two years, it was not enough to pay the down payment for the 100 square meters of apartment. How could he fight with these rich second-generation? He sat docile at the corner of the sofa. Compared with how much Wu Ye's apartment building could sell for, he was more concerned about how Wu Ye escaped the accident and where he had been this past month.

Wu Ye had his own pride. He knew that his current predicament was only temporary. How could he take advantage of his friends? After a dispute, the apartment was finally sold to these three 'fat' people for 12 million yuan.

T/N: Three 'fat' people aka rich second-generation friends of Wu Ye.

Yes, it was sold to the three people. All three of them were well-off, but they hadn't inherited their family's business after all. They didn't have much control over their money, and their own pocket money was not as big as Wu Ye's own. It's obviously impossible for them to take out 10 millions individually. But, it's definitely not a big problem for everyone to figure out how to raise 4 millions individually and pooled it up to buy his apartment.

Since it was impossible to transfer the apartment under three people's name, it was decided that Hua Peng, as the eldest, would take it under his name. He then respectively wrote a 4 millions receipt for a loan to fatty and Qiu Xiao Hao. That night, Wu Ye opened a new bank account with an additional 12 millions in it. The next morning, Wu Ye, Hua Peng, and the others went to the Housing Administration office to fill in the information and paid the taxes, the transfer formalities went smoothly.

Fatty was sensitive. So, while they were eating, he asked Wu Ye, "You're in such a hurry to get rid of the apartment…do you have any plans for the future?" If Wu Ye was short on money, he could borrow from the three of them. Would they even ask him for interest? In the light of the Wu family's current situation, keeping the apartment to slowly look for a buyer, could allow him to earn one or two million more. While for the former Wu Ye, this amount of money was not enough for him to reward authors when he read the online novels, but for the current him, this amount is really not a small amount of money.

Wu Ye took a piece of braised pork and chewed it as he said, "Let my father settle the group's business first. I'm going to leave for a while. As for my family's affair, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye out for me."

Qiu Xiao Hao: "How many years of friendship do we have? Is there any need for you to speak such superfluous words? But, where are you going?"

Wu Ye couldn't tell them about the zombie's plane, so he could only tell them nonsense to cover it up. "I'll go to South Africa to dig diamonds. Wait for this young master to get rich, I'll give you guys plenty of benefits."

"You continue to bluff," Hua Peng said. "Your brother has done a lot of things. Something happened to the company while it was in his hands, and he had taken the blame and resigned. But, didn't your brother embezzle and hollow out his own family's company? Furthermore, each and every person coming from the Ouyang family were not benevolent people. Your elder brother, managing to impress Ouyang Xin enough for her to get engaged to him, means he is really not a simple person."

The Wu Group was not listed on the stock market, and there were only a few large and small shareholders in total. And, currently in the public, there was a rumour saying that Wu was not good at management, and that's why there was a change in ownership. There were many different opinions about the situation.

After Wu Ye's disappearance, Father Wu and Mother Wu asked his friends to find him, so Hua Peng and several others more or less knew the situation. It's difficult for them to speak of the matter in front of Wu Ye, but in private, they talked a lot about Wu Sen's work that left the Wu family to have no way out.

The Ouyang family also specialized in the real estate market, and they had fought with the Wu family for business in the dark, often fighting a price war when they were selling real estate. People in the circle knew that their relationship was not good. A month ago, when Wu Sen and Ouyang Xin's engagement was revealed, who knew how many people's chins were dropped in alarm.

Ouyang Xin was the only legitimate daughter of Ouyang's family, but her father was famous for his dissolute and uninhibited behavior. There were no less than five illegitimate children who were recognized and at their home, and last month it was rumored that a young model had just given birth to a son for him. And, while Ouyang Xin's mother was weak and easily bullied, she was not a benevolent person either. She's publicly known as someone who possessed deep scheme, and strong tricks. Thus, many people remained at a respectful distance away from her.

Wu Ye smiled and said: "They are a good match."

No wonder Lian Yu was so hysterical last night. With Ouyang Xin's means, I'm afraid she would suffer in the future. But, this way, it'd save him the efforts needed to exact revenge.

After lunch, Wu Ye bid Pang Zhi and the others farewell. He went to the bank, withdrew around 100,000 yuan, and went home to give the bank card to Father Wu.

Yesterday, through his friend's help, Father Wu managed to sell those thousands of gold pieces to a local jewelry store at a low price of 2001 yuan per gram. The other side was very good. They didn't ask Father Wu about the gold bars and gold ornament's source at all. They only tested the purity of the gold, passed the scale, and confirmed that there was no mistake before directly transferring 4 million yuan to the bank account designated by Father Wu.

Combined with the bank account Wu Ye brought back today, Father Wu had nearly 16 million in his hand. After the group's incident, Zhou Wang Yuan asked him to hand over all his shares. Furthermore, he also had to compensate 100 million yuan, a huge sum of money, to the company.

Now that Wu Ye had returned safely, Father Wu was no longer afraid that he'd harm an innocent with his action, so there's no lack of energy to slowly dispute with Zhou Wang Yuan.

Wu Ye knew nothing about the company, nor was he interested in understanding it. Under Father Wu's eyes, who hated him for failing to meet his expectations and was impatient to see his improvement, he ran to the hospital to accompany Wu Li. In the ward, it was filled with the sounds of the game and the two brother's shouts. Due to that, the nurses had to come in and intervene time and again with black faces.

At noon on the third day, Wu Ye accompanied Wu Li and they had lunch together in the hospital. Then, he drove a business car borrowed from Pang Zhi, and took the cash to the old industrial zone to pick up the goods he ordered. Because his first batch was ordered in such a hurry, and there were special requirements, the factory doubled the price. The original price of counterfeit goods in Zhong Hua was 50 yuan, so this time Wu Ye had to pay 100 yuan for his counterfeit goods. Of course, compared with the price of the authentic goods, which was 550 yuan, the price difference was still quite large.

In the first shipment, Wu Ye had ordered a 100,000 yuans goods, which meant a total of 1000 packs. Finally, after the factory worked overtime, it managed to make 50 bags of counterfeit cigarettes in accordance to Wu Ye's requirement. Wu Ye didn't talk nonsense. After he was satisfied with the inspection he did, he paid for the ready goods first, then gave another 30,000 yuan as a deposit. Let them get the rest of the goods ready then, in a while, he'd pick it up.

When he got home, Wu Ye took the cigarettes out of the box, put it on the sheets, and wrapped it up in a strip of the same height and width as himself. The rules of the system was to go through the wormhole, you couldn't carry anything that exceed the host's volume and weight. Wu Ye didn't want to make the trip hard on himself and left things in the wormhole.

Handling this stuff was easy. Meanwhile, Mother Wu had finished cooking the pork chop soup, which was devoured single-mindedly by Wu Ye. Looking at her son's dim-witted table manner, Mother Wu couldn't speak out her many sad words.

"There is no eyes on the battlefield, you have to be especially careful and aware of countless dangers, okay?" Mother Wu warned repeatedly, disappointed and frustrated. If she could, she really didn't want Wu Ye to go to that completely strange world that was mired in war. But, this was the only way to save Wu Li. Both of them were of equal importance to her. As a mother, how could she ever choose? What's more, with Wu Ye's temperament, even if she stopped him, he would surely find a way to slip away.

"I know. I know, mom. How many times have you said that? Come on, eat the ribs." Seeing his mother's red eyes, Wu Ye could only comfort her by saying, "Mom, don't worry about it. I made several friends over there. All of whom were said to be very good. With them, there'd be no danger to my life. Besides, don't I have the system? While it is a little deceptive when it exchanged things, but it is actually very practical when on the battlefield. There's no need for you to worry too much. When these cigarettes are sold out, I'll save enough for the journey back home. I promise that I'll return to you safe and whole, okay?"

"Don't try to be brave. Just run if you can't fight. Think about me, your mother, and Ah Li before you do anything. You are our hope." Father Wu put down his chopsticks. "Don't worry about things at home. I'll take care of them before you come back home next time."

"Yes. I'll try to find someone who can decipher the core program of the artificial intelligence. You should also be careful. Hire a few more bodyguards around you, also for Ah Li as well. Better to be safe than sorry after all. Prince is playing with Ah Li. We need to keep an eye on it. No one can steal it." Wu Ye felt that everything that should be explained was just about done. Besides, if he went on, his mother would cry, and the old man's eyes were already reddening. The feeling of separation was really not very good. "Don't tell Ah Li that I'm going to another plane. Just tell him that I went abroad to look for investment."

Father Wu glared at him. "You can't even pass your CET-4 English test. How would you go abroad to find investment? Don't worry about it. I know what to tell him."

"Alright then, I'll go now." With that, Wu Ye got up to give his parents a hug, tied the bundled cigarettes to his back, and called the system control panel out. Once it was out, he immediately pressed the transmission door button. Then the white light flashed, and he disappeared from the room.

Mother Wu couldn't help it anymore. She held onto Father Wu and burst into tears.

Outside Lan Cheng base, for the first time, it was suspected that there was a third-class zombie. The hunter who managed to escape, was only able to do so because of chance. He said that the speed of the new zombie was twice as fast than that of the level two zombies. The skin and flesh of the zombie's body was also extremely hard, especially the skull. It was hit by the ordinary rifle bullets from a distance of more than 100 meters away, but the bullets couldn't do any damage to the zombie. To make matters worse, second-order ability users had almost no capability to kill the new zombies.

The emergence of a new type of zombie caught many hunters by surprise. Thus, many of them were wiped out. Under the frenzied attack of the new type of zombie, in just three days, the whole security zone that Lan Cheng base managed to establish had regressed by more than 10 kilometers, and the whole base was surrounded by an endless amount of zombies. The atmosphere became unprecedentedly gloomy.

The scythe of the Death God had been erected over Lan Cheng base. The smell of death gradually enveloped the entire settlement, and many survivors eyes turned empty and numb before gradually descending into madness.

War and chaos were imminent.

"Chief, the capital base has sent another airplane. The news has already spread. As long as the ability users level exceeds the second level, you can fly away free of charge. The capital is so big that it's impossible for the Li family to find us. In time, we can hide in the darkness to avenge our brothers." The speaker had a strong build, one eye was covered with an eye patch, and the other was as sharp as a falcon. His whole body was full of awe-inspiring air, just like a sharp blade coming out of its sheath.

Qin Wuhua glanced at the closed bedroom door and coldly said, "Wait a minute. Now is not the time to leave. The foundation of the Li family in the capital is far deeper than you think. What do you think we can do when we go back? As long as the Li family finds our traces, they can charge us with a crime that will have us die without a burial place."

"Chief, you're a peak second level ability user. Who dares to kill you?" Qian Xin was so murderous whenever he thought of more than a dozen comrades-in-arms who had been killed alive. He wanted to chop up the respectable Li family with a knife whenever he remembered his comrades dying.

Qin Wuhua said: "Have you forgotten how many living and dying people are locked up in the Capital Research Institute? Even if Lan Cheng base no longer exists, we can't go to the capital. At least not until we have the strength to compete head-on with the Li family."

"Then what shall we do?"

"Wait. In Lan Cheng base, there are more than 100,000 survivors, and many of them were ability users too. Furthermore, the planting conditions are also far superior than that of many other bases, allowing for a surplus of food that is sold at a lower price compared to those in the capital.

So, even if those people in capital wanted to take away the ability users in here by telling them that the transportation is free for them, even though it's not truly free, they'd only want to take those who had talents. Thus, they'll fight each other over the talented people using every sinister plot they have, making us staying here all the much safer.

Besides, they won't really sit back and watch as Lan Cheng base is destroyed. And, even if Lan Cheng base truly is destroyed, what he left me is enough for us…"

"Bang——" The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly came from the empty room.

Qin Wuhua whose expression was normally indifferent dramatically changed. He got to the bedroom door in two or three steps, and stuck his hand on the door. Qin Wuhua didn't really know how many heart beats his heart skipped over or what exactly he was expecting.
