Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1204: Chapter 1204: Dark Descent (Part 24)

Chuzheng suddenly turned around.

Ji Lin, whom she hadn’t noticed, was standing in the dark, his silhouette blurry, and Chuzheng couldn’t see his expression. She could only sense that he was looking at her.

Chuzheng backed away: ”What are you doing down here?”

”I saw you come down, so I followed.” Ji Lin shrugged, ”What are you looking at? Across the street... are the people we met today. Are you thinking about attracting zombies to surround them again?”

”It’s worth considering,” Chuzheng seriously analyzed the situation with him, ”but it’s not very feasible. According to the person we caught upstairs, the zombies here might be controlled by someone, so it’s unrealistic to stir up trouble with so many zombies.”

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows in the dark.

She usually speaks sparingly and avoids talking when possible; it’s rare to hear her say so much.

Ji Lin pulled out some snacks from somewhere, started hoarding like a hamster, and after a while, he seemed to remember he was talking to Chuzheng: ”I thought you weren’t afraid of trouble.”

”I’m not afraid, but I find trouble annoying.” Like you.

However, I still have to accept you as a trouble and even pamper you.

”What do you plan to do now?” Ji Lin was curious, sneaking down in the middle of the night instead of resting.

Chuzheng was certainly not sneaking; she walked down openly. But to Ji Lin, it seemed like sneaking.

”What business is it of yours? Go back to sleep.” Chuzheng didn’t dare to raise her voice; they huddled in the dark, speaking softly like spies meeting.

”Take me along.”

Chuzheng choked for a moment: ”Take you for what?” I’m going to hit someone, why would I take you!!

”Whatever you plan to do, take me with you.” Ji Lin was skillfully playing the rogue.

”What if I don’t take you?”

Ji Lin chuckled lightly and leaned forward: ”Little stoic, have you forgotten something?”

”Hm?” What did she forget?

”You forced me to stay with you, little stoic, remember?” Ji Lin deliberately blew air into Chuzheng’s ear.

Chuzheng didn’t grasp anything, just felt her ear itching and a bit warm: ”If you’re going to talk, just talk, what’s with the blowing.”

Ji Lin: ”...”

Now I really wonder if she said she likes me or likes something else.

Ji Lin hurriedly reviewed everything he had, realizing that besides his car and special ability, he had nothing else.

Thinking about the car... Could she have her eye on my car?

Chuzheng didn’t know Ji Lin was thinking about nonsense. She calmly said to him: ”You can follow me, but you must obey me.”

Ji Lin pressed his fingers to his temple, then made a careless gesture forward—Chuzheng didn’t see it at all, it was too dark, she just saw Ji Lin make a move, completely indifferent.

”Follow me.”

Ji Lin put away his snack, behaved like a good child, and followed Chuzheng.

They crossed the street and quickly entered the building opposite.

Ji Lin didn’t know how Chuzheng calculated it, but the night guard didn’t see them, and they smoothly sneaked upstairs.

-

Ji Lin knew what Chuzheng intended to do, but he didn’t expect her to knock out Gu He and take him away.

Gu He was on watch in the latter half of the night; she silently approached, and before Ji Lin wondered what she would do, he saw her bring someone over.

With Gu He in tow, Chuzheng didn’t return to their resting place.

”How did you know he was on watch in the latter half of the night?”

”I didn’t know.” Chuzheng tossed Gu He onto the open ground, speaking casually: ”Whether he’s on watch or not doesn’t affect me taking him.”

Ji Lin’s mouth twitched.

Arrogant!

Truly arrogant!

Ji Lin watched as Chuzheng squatted down, fiddling with Gu He’s neck, as if she was about to do something terrible right there.

However...

This Gu He seemed too clean.

Chuzheng had space ability, so Ji Lin could understand why she was so clean, but might Gu He have it too?

Space ability is so common?

Tsk...

Ji Lin focused his attention on Chuzheng, wanting to see what trick she was playing.

Chuzheng pulled out the Jade Pendant belonging to Jiang Rushuang from Gu He’s neck, tugged on the chain, but the chain didn’t budge.

”...”

The TV lied to me again!

Ah!

Chuzheng glanced at Ji Lin, seeing him staring intently at her, felt annoyed, and because of that, she didn’t handle it gently, and pulled the chain down with a ’snap’.

The pull woke up the person involved.

Chuzheng swiftly covered Gu He’s mouth: ”Don’t scream.”

Gu He widened his eyes, glaring at Chuzheng, making muffled whimpering sounds from his throat.

Chuzheng shook the Jade Pendant in front of Gu He: ”This belongs to Jiang Rushuang, I’m taking it back for her, you don’t mind, right?”

Even if you mind, it won’t help.

Gu He couldn’t even make a sound, let alone express any objections, he could only glare at Chuzheng with anger and resentment.

That’s her space...

Hers!!

How can she take it? That’s not allowed, give it back!

Unfortunately, Chuzheng couldn’t read minds, she didn’t know what Gu He was thinking.

”Do you have any tape?” Chuzheng asked Ji Lin.

”Why would I carry that around.” Ji Lin said speechlessly, but then laughed: ”Little stoic, don’t you think we look like two criminals committing a crime against a young girl in her prime?”

Chuzheng: ”...” You’re overthinking.

Chuzheng suddenly turned her head, dangerously asking: ”What crime do you intend to commit against her?”

”You’re the one committing the crime, I have no intention of committing a crime.” Ji Lin spread his hands, distancing himself: ”I’m a good citizen.”

”It’s the apocalypse.” Where are there still good citizens, where is the city?

”An apocalypse good citizen.” Ji Lin agreed promptly.

Gu He watched the two treat her like air, surprisingly starting to chat, feeling both angry and furious.

But she was pinned down by Chuzheng, so she could only ’attack’ Chuzheng with her gaze.

Chuzheng resourcefully found something to gag Gu He’s mouth; the bloody stench almost made Gu He pass out, her stomach turned nauseous, and she couldn’t vomit.

”Little stoic, can’t you be a little more tasteful?” Ji Lin complained beside her.

”Can you shut up?” Babbling on, are you afraid the zombies won’t be able to find you? Can’t you quietly be a good person...? Is it that difficult?!

”...” So unfriendly!

If Ji Lin had known she was here to do this, he definitely wouldn’t have followed her down.

Gu He constantly emitted muffled syllables, asserting her presence and anger.

Chuzheng tied her up and expressionlessly reassured her: ”Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.” What a pity.

”Mmm mmm...”

Gu He struggled.

Chuzheng held up the Jade Pendant, leisurely stood up: ”Taking something that’s not yours is very impolite.”

Gu He’s gaze landed on the Jade Pendant, her entire face twisted, losing its beauty.

That’s hers...

Her space...

Give it back to her...

”Let’s go.”

Ji Lin glanced at Gu He: ”You’re leaving her tied up here?”

”Resources are limited, I can only tie her here.” Chuzheng said and kicked her foot, sending Gu He sliding out on the wooden plank she was standing on, but instead of hitting the ground, she dangled mid-air.

In the night, Gu He’s terrified ’mmm’ was faintly heard.

Ji Lin: ”...”

Sorry for the intrusion.
