Apocalypse: Starting by Burning 100 Billion Ghost Currencies

Three years ago, an enigmatic calamity descended, causing the collapse of the monetary system and the rampant suppression of this world by rules with extremely low survivability.

Su Luo, in a...

Chapter 118 The Eldest Daughter of the Nangong Family

In the apocalypse, most people wouldn't immediately open fire on normal people unless they were trespassing. After all, it's an official, legitimate base, and they wouldn't do things like the Greedy Wolf Guild. However, if these people dared to cross the line, they would definitely be sent to their deaths.

Suddenly surrounded, the crowd trembled with fear upon seeing the dark muzzles of guns, instinctively retreating and huddling together.

"You, you guys!" The leader stared wide-eyed at the soldiers at the door, utterly astonished that such news had come from the upper echelons of the Noah Base.

Seemingly remembering something, one of the leaders reached out and tugged at the other two, then said in a friendly tone, "Don't get agitated, don't get agitated, we'll leave now!"

After saying this, the man gestured for the people behind him to slowly retreat and move out of the firing range.

Seeing this, Su Luo glanced at the Noah Base, which had put away its guns and returned to its ranks, and then at the group of people who claimed to be from the mobile shelter base who were leaving. He then turned around and followed them.

"Young Miss, what do we do now?"

Only after they were out of range did everyone stop and turn back to gaze at the towering walls of the Noah base.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Liuli, who was called the young lady, simply gazed at the walls of the Noah Base and sighed.

"There are probably their people at this base too; we've been abandoned."

Upon hearing this, the two people beside Nangong Liuli both looked surprised. "W-what do you mean? Noah Base won't be spared either?"

"So what do we do now? From the makeshift hospital to Noah, our supplies are almost exhausted, and we can't get to any more distant bases."

To everyone's surprise, Nangong Liuli shook her head, "No need."

“It doesn’t matter where we go. In the eyes of the major official bases, the makeshift base should still be intact. No matter what we say, they won’t believe us, and they might even treat me as an enemy.”

A silence fell over everyone. They had thought they would be rescued when they arrived at Noah's Base, but this was the outcome they had expected.

'Bang'.

The burly man next to Nangong Liuli punched a thick tree trunk, his face full of anger. "Why is this happening? Even in the apocalypse, you still want power, and even dream of living like a local tyrant!"

"Never mind, Moy, the most urgent thing is to replenish supplies."

“I still have some ghost money here. I heard there’s a ghost market in the nearby provincial capital. We can go there to exchange it for some supplies.”

"But..." But that's all your possessions, Miss. If you exchange it for supplies, what will you do then? Once you run out of ghost money, are you just going to wait to die in the apocalypse?

Just when the group was at their wits' end, Su Luo's arrival broke the tense atmosphere.

"Who?!" Mo Yi sensed someone approaching and turned around to see a woman whose appearance was no less than that of her young mistress.

Good morning, everyone.

Su Luo greeted them politely. Her enhanced senses allowed her to hear the conversation between the group and get a general understanding of what was going on.

Nangong Liuli did not reply immediately, but instead looked Su Luo up and down.

It has to be said that compared to their travel-worn and exhausted appearance, Su Luo was radiant, with elastic skin and clean, even her clothes were stylish. She didn't look like she had experienced the apocalypse at all.

Nangong Liuli also remembered that this person had just appeared at the entrance of the Noah Base, right after them, and seemed to be the one entering the base.

"Madam, what brings you here?"

"I overheard you talking at the entrance of Noah Base, so I came to check." Su Luo wasn't angry at Nangong Liuli's wariness; after all, this was the normal reaction in the apocalypse.

Most people wouldn't be so wary if a stranger suddenly struck up a conversation with them, even if it was a seemingly delicate woman. Because of this, Su Luo admired this young lady even more.

Since Noah's Base has been handed over so easily, she won't stand on ceremony.

"Are you from Noah Base?" Upon hearing this, Nangong Liuli narrowed her eyes and asked coldly.

“That’s not it.” Su Luo shook his head and denied it. “I have a place that can take you in, on the condition that I know what exactly happened at the makeshift hospital.”

"You?" Before Nangong Liuli could speak, Mo Yi took a step forward with distrust.

In this kind of apocalyptic world, let alone major official bases, where can a woman go? Can she compare to those large bases?

Before Mo Yi could refute further, Nangong Liuli stopped her.

How can this be guaranteed?

Compared to Mo Yi's strong military but simple mind, Nangong Liuli had long seen through Su Luo's unusual nature. If, as the woman said, she really had a base or city that did not belong to the official base, then it could indeed explain everything about Su Luo now.

How can you guarantee you're not one of them?

"Them?" Su Luo keenly grasped the key word, and a guess formed in his mind. "I don't know who you mean by 'them,' but I only have one chance. If you're willing, I can take you there now. If not, then forget it."

Su Luo shrugged, as if he were talking about something trivial, as if Nangong Liuli's presence or absence wouldn't make much of a difference.

It's not a big deal; we just need to find more people from the Noah base, that's all.

Hearing Su Luo's words, Nangong Liuli frowned.

So casual. If they had sent her, they wouldn't be so nonchalant, and judging from her expression, she doesn't seem to know anything...

Thinking of this, Nangong Liuli nodded, "Alright, I agree, but you must guarantee the safety of the people I'm bringing. Otherwise, I, Nangong Liuli, will haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Alright, alright, fine." Su Luo waved his hand, completely unconcerned about such a threat.

Even as a ghost, you won't let me go? You'd better pray that your ghostly creature has a high star rating, otherwise you probably really won't be able to handle it.

Where is your base? How do you plan to lead us away?

Seeing that Su Luo didn't care about her threats, Nangong Liuli hesitated for a moment, but since she had chosen this path, she might as well go and see, which was better than doing nothing and dying in the apocalypse.

"Just follow."

As Su Luo spoke, he summoned Binbin through the contract, and soon, a subway entrance appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

"A strange dungeon?!" Nangong Liuli's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the suddenly appearing entrance and exit. She watched as Su Luo walked down without any fear or concern, casually waving for them to follow.

Nangong Liuli was speechless for a moment.

This, this... this situation is completely beyond her imagination. Summoning them into a bizarre instance, isn't this courting death?

But judging from Su Luo's expression, he didn't seem to be lying. After thinking for a moment, Nangong Liuli took a deep breath and followed him first.

"Miss!"

"Young Miss!"

Seeing that Nangong Liuli was about to enter the instance, her two deputies immediately stepped forward to stop her.

"Miss, that's a three-star level monster instance! That woman might be using us as bait!"
