Chapter 136: Chapter 136: The Last Day Tycoon (1)
Bang bang bang—

рlease,reading On ΒΟXΝOVEL.ϹʘM

Screams and the sound of gunfire intertwined.

Chuzheng lay on the cold ground, staring blankly at the peeling ceiling above her.

Where was she?

Ratatat—

Bang bang—

The gunshots and explosions were incessant and incredibly grating.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

So noisy!

Incredibly noisy!

Chuzheng grabbed something beside her and hurled it away, the slight noise engulfed by the roar of gunfire.

Chuzheng was getting frantic, the noise was endless, driving her insane!

What on earth was going on outside! Was there a rebellion?!

Chuzheng got up, her gaze sweeping around, to find herself in a room.

When Chuzheng stood up, she felt a bit weak and had to support herself with something beside her to stay upright.

The room was small.

There wasn’t much in it, just disarray and dust. She walked to the window and looked outside.

In the distance, flames and smoke billowed, and the gunfire was relentless.

Chuzheng: “…”

Is there really a war going on?

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

It’s… kind of scary.

“Ah—”

Following the scream, Chuzheng looked down to see a dense crowd chasing someone. That person got tackled, followed by even more horrific screams.

“Help… Help me… Help… Ah…”

Chuzheng: “…”

Chuzheng emotionlessly pulled the curtains shut.

Gosh! That scared the life out of me!

She exhaled and then opened them again.

The dense crowd below had completely engulfed the person who had been screaming in agony, appearing to be… eating?

Eating!!!

Chuzheng coldly closed the curtains again.

She turned to check the door, making sure it was locked, then she dragged something over to barricade it.

The original host had grown up in an orphanage and, through hard work, had been admitted to college, thinking she could finally study seriously, contribute to society, and become a socialist successor capable of paying taxes to the nation.

But she never expected—the apocalypse would come.

When the end of the world arrived, she was alone in her dormitory.

Luckily the original host had not turned into a zombie.

She stayed in the dorm for three days. Plenty of people were still in the nearby dorms, and she watched as they ran out, only to eventually join the ranks of the zombies.

With limited food in the dorm, even if they didn’t become zombie fodder, they would eventually starve to death.

Therefore, these people formed a squad, planning to leave the school.

The original host was also part of this squad. They successfully left the school and just happened to encounter an army searching for survivors.

So, they followed the military to relocate.

In the team, she met Ning You, with whom she had grown up in the orphanage.

Of course, having grown up together in an orphanage, the original host felt much closer to her.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Ning You apparently considered the original host a close friend and even risked her own life to save her.

Then, special abilities began to emerge, and those with special powers became highly esteemed within the group.

Ning You awakened a special ability.

The original host had no special ability, but fortunately, her survival ability was commendable, and with Ning You’s protection, the original host managed to keep from “logging off.”

What the original host did not expect, though, was that Ning You’s kindness was all for the jade pendant she had always worn.

The jade pendant did not hold a miraculous space as in fiction.

Rather, it was because the jade pendant represented who the original host was.

Just two days before the apocalypse, a group of unusually dressed people came to the orphanage in search of the person wearing this jade pendant.

That day happened to be the weekend, and Ning You returned to the orphanage to take care of some business and stumbled upon this event.

She immediately grabbed the director and spun a lie, convincing the director to deceive them.

At the time, even Ning You didn’t know what she was thinking, but a bold idea suddenly sprang to mind.

She had planned to wait for the group to leave before looking for the original host.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Then, the apocalypse struck.

The group that had come looking for the original host looked anything but ordinary and what’s more, Ning You knew they were in the squad.

Before the apocalypse, Ning You’s desire to replace her was merely an impulse, since it was nearly impossible to fake a paternity test before the end of the world.

At that time, she felt she was indulging in wild fantasies.

But who knew the apocalypse would come.

Ning You just needed to think of a way to prepare for the questioning of those people, and she could bluff her way through.

So, Ning You lured the original owner into a group of zombies, snatched her jade pendant, and assumed her identity.

The original owner fortuitously survived and even awakened a special ability.

She didn’t understand why Ning You would do that to her, following a group of refugees, she reached the base.

She didn’t expect to meet Ning You again.

By then, Ning You was the daughter of the base leader. The original owner didn’t even get the chance to question Ning You before she was taken away by people sent by Ning You under the pretext of infection.

The original owner was locked up in the underground laboratory.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

She was forced to undergo various injections, as well as strange experiments.

To her death, she never saw Ning You again.

–

Chuzheng rubbed her temples. The sudden gunshots outside and the memories forcefully crammed into her brain continually irritated her nerves.

It took her a while to start feeling a bit better.

Now, it was half a year after the apocalypse.

It was precisely when the original owner’s jade pendant was stolen and Ning You led her into the zombie horde.

The original owner hid here to avoid the zombies.

However…

At this time, the original owner should be awakening her special ability.

But why didn’t she feel like she had a special ability?

Could it be because she came over, interrupting the awakening?

That’s just unfair!

Chuzheng checked carefully once more.

Confirmed she really hadn’t awakened any special abilities.

She had injuries, but she hadn’t turned into a zombie.

She walked to the window again and drew back the curtain.

It was quiet down below, the group of zombies had run off somewhere.

Chuzheng closed the window and lay back on the bed.

The original owner really had it rough.

Not only was her identity stolen but in the end, she was locked up in the laboratory to be used as a test subject.

[Little sister, if it wasn’t tragic, you wouldn’t be needed, would you?] King’s Account spoke in a cheerful tone.

Chuzheng: “…”

If she needed to turn the tables… Just getting rid of her would suffice!

[Little sister, the best plan is for you to snatch back the jade pendant, expose Ning You, and ensure Ning You has a very miserable time.]

Get rid of your great uncle!!

Get rid of you, and you’ve gone to the dogs! No, I mean, you’ve gone back in time!

The jade pendant has just been stolen, it’s still possible to snatch it back!

Charge, little sister!!

Chuzheng said expressionlessly, “You already have a plan now?”

[It’s my duty to ensure little sister can complete the mission more effectively.]

Chuzheng threatened in an icy tone, “Speak properly.”

[…] Why wasn’t it speaking properly already!?

Chuzheng lay back on the bed. “This world is full of zombies, money is completely useless, how do you squander a fortune?”

Zombies, oh!

Eating people, oh!

The thought alone is horrifying.

Why treat me, this poor little thing, like this?

[Little sister, that’s a problem I need to consider.] King’s Account imitated Chuzheng’s way of speaking, but its tone was very cheerful without any gravitas.

“Oh.”

[…]

The room fell silent. The gunshots outside continued incessantly, moving further away with time, until they finally quieted down.

[Excuse me, little sister, what are you doing lying there?] Waiting for zombies?

“Sleeping.” What else would you do lying in bed if not sleep?

[???] Zombies are about to bite your butt, and you’re sleeping? You should be running for your life, do you know what that means?!

Chuzheng, with her eyes closed: “Saving energy is very important.”
