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 154 A Thriving Beginning (shuhaige.net)

"Join forces with Los Angeles?"

Perhaps they didn't hear clearly, or perhaps they heard clearly but couldn't believe it, one of the six-star monsters stared at the huge single eye on its forehead and repeated it.

“That’s right.” Zhao Jinlai nodded. “Although the City Lord of Luo City is human, do you think an ordinary human could have achieved what he has?”

"Not to mention she has quite a few high-level talent users under her command, as well as those firearms."

"Most importantly, don't forget that [Alienation] is also by her side."

This is important news, a major message that Zhao Jinlai relayed back from the people of the Other Shore Ghost King Cheng.

The reason why the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City was defeated so completely was because of [Alienation].

"[Alienation]? He's still alive?"

"They won't die, but who would have thought that their own dog would bite its owner instead?" The Yellow Springs and the Other Shore were never in harmony. The [Alienation] skill, originally created by the Other Shore as a super abnormal skill, allowed the Other Shore Ghost King City to suppress the Yellow Springs for a long time.

Who would have thought of a betrayal? [Alienation] has become the most feared weapon on their other side. Congratulations!

"No wonder." The several powerful monsters present nodded thoughtfully. No wonder the Nine Netherworld Monster City fled so completely, no wonder the Imperial Capital Base was wiped out by the 'monsters' without any news. So that's how it is.

"Since that City Lord Su Luo has such great abilities, joining forces with Luo City is not impossible. However, will she agree to a conflict between a monster and a human?"

"Don't forget our principles in the Underworld."

"Make friends based on money."

"Anyone who is beneficial to the development of the Yellow Springs Ghost King City is worth befriending."

Indeed, the others present nodded in agreement. Huang Quan was neither as aloof as Jiu You nor as treacherous as Bi An. He was more like an honest businessman. A businessman is naturally profit-driven, but he is also a businessman with principles.

"But we don't know Su Luosu. Would it be... risky to visit her so abruptly..."

One of the monsters voiced everyone's concerns: the enemy has [mutation] at their disposal and powerful firearms; won't they just indiscriminately slaughter everyone? Which monster would willingly venture deep into enemy territory? This is ridiculous!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinlai coughed a few times, shook off his fat, stood up, and spread his arms to signal everyone to be quiet.

"To be honest, I had an encounter with that Lord Su Luo on the Hell Metro train. I can take care of this matter!"

With that one sentence, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone turned to look at Zhao Jinlai.

"very good."

Finally, a majestic voice came from the end of the conference room, carrying a hint of satisfied approval, "Let Fifth Brother handle it."

Upon hearing this, all the strange creatures rose to their feet and bowed deeply towards the end of the road to show their respect.

...

"Well done, Fifth Brother! You've managed to get on Su Luo's good side without making a sound. Your promotion and fortune are just around the corner!"

"Hehe, Third Brother, what are you saying? It was just a coincidence!"

This statement was indeed flawless. After all, the fifth son of the Zhao family was notorious for gambling and gluttony in the Yellow Springs Ghost King City. Otherwise, he wouldn't have grown up like this. He was always thought to be a spendthrift, but this spendthrift actually befriended Su Luo and instantly turned his life around.

Upon receiving this mission, Zhao Jinlai immediately counted the number of strange creatures and headed to the Luo City Imperial Capital Branch, which was formerly the Imperial Capital Base, next to the Nine Netherworld Ghost King City.

Although they knew each other, Zhao Jinlai wasn't reckless enough to directly attack Shanshui City's headquarters; the capital branch was the best option.

Beijing branch.

Compared to the orderly surroundings of Shanshui City, the capital city appeared somewhat chaotic, forcing Su Luo to lead his troops to oversee operations there.

Many survivors from other bases continued to enter the Imperial Capital Base. They were registered, counted, and their talents were recorded, including their names, levels, and previous bases. Although Su Luo was not afraid of traitors, he tried to avoid them if possible.

Meanwhile, the design of this capital base has also been changed to several styles under Su Luo's guidance. When checking in for the first time, you can choose to stay in different style areas according to your own preferences.

Of course, Su Luo also had her own reasons. Right now, she was treating the capital city branch as an elite game, so naturally, the decoration style and layout of each area had to be according to her preferences. To be honest, this operation was quite addictive and was a rather interesting thing in the apocalypse.

"This is the branch city of Luoyang, the capital? It looks a little different."

"Entry Notice: Congratulations on obtaining entry qualification. Below are four architectural styles. You may choose one style area to stay in. (Note: The first selection is free. If you want to change the style afterward, you will need to pay a certain amount of Los Angeles Coins or Hell Coins)."

"This, this, this... you can even choose a style? The city lord of Luo City is such a powerful figure?"

"Mom, Mom, I want to go to a Scandinavian style that is simple, understated, and luxurious!"

"Darling, shall we go to an area with an antique, elegant, and dignified style? If possible, I'd like to give you a traditional Chinese wedding! I didn't get to give you one before the apocalypse, but I'll give you one after the apocalypse!"

"What style is this? Anime/chuunibyou style? It doesn't sound like anything normal. And this one, French courtly luxury aristocratic style, it sounds very high-end, will it cost a lot of money?"

Many people who came to the Luoyang branch of the capital city with doubts and trepidation were immediately shocked after entering the branch city.

The base buildings are similar to those at the beginning. There is a ring of ordinary adaptive streets on the outermost edge, with many small stalls similar to those set up before the apocalypse. Each stall has a fixed price, which can be paid with Los Angeles currency, ghost money, or even by selling labor.

As long as you accept a stall task and complete it within the task time, you can also obtain the right to use the stall for a certain period of time. For some penniless people, this is also a way to make a living.

Compared to the previous practice of the Imperial Capital Base groveling before the monsters, Su Luo's Luo City is truly building a city that can function in the apocalypse and provide for human life.

Most importantly, this city has water!

After the polar day, many bases began to suffer from severe water shortages. The first thing to do upon arriving in the capital city branch and seeing water was to fill all the bottles and jars he could hold!

"Oh my, isn't this Commander Liu from the Southeast Base? You've come too!"

"Old man Sun, you're here too!"

The base commanders, whom the other knew well, greeted each other, exchanged pleasantries, and even quietly inquired about the areas and styles the other had chosen.

After all, we'll end up living under the same roof. If we don't get along, we can just live further away. We can't exactly start a fight in the city in front of Lord Su Luo.

Given Su Luo's personality, he will most likely kick both sides out of the trouble!
