Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Seductive Beauty Captivates a Pure-hearted Roughneck

10: Chapter 10 is only visible to Lu Chengyue.Xu Wanning took out a notebook and began writing down the list of big shots she could remember. She didn’t have the energy to think about other cities right now; with only three months, there was no way to approach them, so she prioritized those in Jing City.

There were only eight people they could reach who were guaranteed to have good character.

Metal Ability Zhou Ke, currently a freshman in the Computer Science department at their school;

Corrosion Ability Lin Ci, a genius surgical expert at the medical school next door;

Mental Ability Jiang Heng, a delinquent who hung out outside and lived in internet cafes long-term, actually a hacker;

Lightning Ability Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan, captain of the Jing City Criminal Police First Team;

Fire Ability Su Chenyu, a coach at Qiming Gym in the city center;

Light Ability Head Nurse Shen Ning, head nurse of the ICU at Jing City First People’s Hospital;

Earth Ability Zhao Qiang, a construction foreman;

Wood Ability Gu Xi, a gardener.

After writing it down, she pushed the notebook to her best friends, ”We need to make contact with these eight. There are eight of them, so two for each of us. You guys pick, and leave the remaining two to me.”

The three of them grabbed the notebook, making faces and scratching their heads, and finally decided on the ones they felt they could handle.

Lu Zhiyu chose Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan and Zhao Qiang; one was a criminal police captain, and the other was a construction foreman. As the sister of a Firefighter, she could more or less get involved with them.

Wen Shuyang chose Su Chenyu and Lin Ci. For the Gym coach, she could just go sign up for a membership. The medical genius might be hard to approach, but fortunately, he was at the school next door, so she would just have to make a few more trips.

Song Yunqing chose Zhou Ke and Gu Xi; one was a junior, and the other was a gardener. They already knew Zhou Ke, and for Gu Xi, they just needed to spend money to buy her products to make contact.

Song Yunqing had a relatively shy personality, especially towards strangers she didn’t know, so Wen Shuyang and Lu Zhiyu specifically gave her the easiest ones.

They left Jiang Heng and Head Nurse Shen Ning for Xu Wanning. One was a problem youth, and the other was a head nurse. They all agreed that Ningning had the most charm, so it was only right to leave these two, who required personal charisma, to her.

Song Yunqing wrote a note and silently pushed it to her, [Ningning, did these big shots have any connection with us in the previous life?]

[Hmm, not teammates, but we all worked on missions together. They are trustworthy.]

Song Yunqing silently folded the note and didn’t speak again.

After class, just as Wen Shuyang was about to discuss how to take action with her sisters, Jiang Lei stood at the door and shouted, ”Yangyang.”

Wen Shuyang rolled her eyes, ”Tsk, I’m going to go act. You guys discuss first, and tell me later.”

After saying that, she stood up and put on a sweet smile, jogging over to find Jiang Lei.

Xu Wanning and the others looked at the list, ”After school at noon, we’ll go to the warehouse to collect supplies first. After that, I’ll go to that internet cafe, and you guys can each pick one to approach.”

Lu Zhiyu pointed at Police Captain Cheng Jingchuan’s name, ”I’ll go find him. I always feel like I should know him, or at least have met him before.”

Song Yunqing hesitated for a moment, ”Then I’ll go find Gu Xi. I’ll go buy flowers, go every day, and get familiar with her.”

Xu Wanning nodded, ”Okay. For Yangyang, it doesn’t matter which of these two she approaches first. Let’s see how she chooses later.”

Wen Shuyang came back quickly, shaking the water off her hands as she walked, looking utterly disgusted, ”It was so gross.”

Xu Wanning and the other two looked at her with great sympathy, ”Hard work, hard work.”

Xu Wanning pointed at the names on the list, ”After we collect the supplies in a bit, we’ll split up. Build a good relationship with the big shots. Yangyang, are you going to find Lin Ci or Su Chenyu first?”

Wen Shuyang chuckled, revealing her little fangs, ”I’m going to both!”

The lunch break wasn’t very long. After collecting the supplies, there would probably be less than half an hour left. It was unknown where she got the confidence to go to both, sigh.

The four of them spent the morning in a daze. As soon as the bell rang, they rushed out and drove to the supermarket warehouse owned by Lu Zhiyu’s family.

The supermarket purchaser was waiting at the door, ”Zhiyu, the goods have arrived. Go in and take a look.”

Lu Zhiyu smiled and thanked her, ”Thanks, Auntie Zhao. You go ahead and get busy. We’ll go in and look ourselves. Just give me the key.”

”Alright.” The purchaser handed the key to Lu Zhiyu and left to do her own work. The boss had said to let his daughter mess around; she had already done what she needed to do, and the rest was none of her business.

The four of them walked in. There was security monitoring inside, and it was very high up. Even if they wanted to block it, they couldn’t. Fortunately, the warehouse’s main power switch was at the back of the warehouse, so they just had to pull the switch.

Lu Zhiyu went to pull the switch, while Wen Shuyang and Song Yunqing kept watch. The moment the warehouse went dark, Xu Wanning collected everything in the warehouse into her space, taking only a second.

The good thing about a C-level space was that you didn’t need to touch things one by one to collect them; an F-level one required reaching out and touching them.

When Xu Wanning came out, Lu Zhiyu turned the switch back on. The warehouse was empty; nothing was left.

Lu Zhiyu pushed up her glasses, ”I estimate there are quite a few things in the warehouse next door. If my dad doesn’t believe it, we’ll secretly collect them after a while.”

Xu Wanning and the other two agreed with ”Mm-hmm,” quickly got into the car and left. They went back to the supermarket for Lu Zhiyu to return the key, and then returned.

To find Jiang Heng, Xu Wanning got out of the car near the First Middle School, ”You guys go ahead and get busy. No need to come pick me up; I’ll take a taxi back in a bit.”

”Okay.” The car drove away. Xu Wanning curled her lips into a smile, took out her phone, and took a selfie of herself standing in front of the internet cafe, making a peace sign with her fingers by her cheek. The name of the internet cafe was clearly visible. She posted a Moments update visible only to Lu Chengyue, with the caption ’Can’t get a taxi, T_T’.

After waiting for a while with no response, it seemed he was busy, so she would just wait a bit longer.

After posting, she put her phone away and walked into the internet cafe that Jiang Heng frequented. She had passed by here when she was on a mission with Jiang Heng in her previous life. He had said he was very familiar with this place and used to spend years here.

On a weekday, there were surprisingly quite a few people in the internet cafe. They were all unemployed vagrants, mostly between 18 and 20 years old, whose families hadn’t yet lost patience and kicked them out to work.

Xu Wanning looked out of place walking in. Anyone could tell that she didn’t look like someone who hung out in the streets.

The internet cafe attendant whistled, ”Beauty, who are you looking for?”

Seeing a familiar face, Xu Wanning smiled, ”Handsome, I’m looking for Jiang Heng. Is he here?”

The attendant pointed to the private room inside, ”He’s there. See that? The room at the very end. Finally, someone has come to look for him. He’s here every day; I’m worried he’s going to rot in there.”

”Thanks, I’ll go look for him.” Xu Wanning walked through the computer area and headed inside, drawing whistles and catcalls from the boys.

She didn’t even turn her head. These boys weren’t bad kids; they just couldn’t learn, their parents were disappointed, and they felt they were useless, which led them to be a bit self-abandoned.

They were actually more loyal than others. Jiang Heng had said that after The Apocalypse broke out, he had broken out of the zombie encirclement with the twenty-six brothers from this internet cafe.

However, most of them didn’t have supernatural abilities, and after three years, only four remained, including himself.

Xu Wanning knocked on the door of the private room, ”Jiang Heng, are you there? Open the door.”
