I Build a City in the Apocalypse

Xu Bai was reborn. She returned to ten years ago, to the fifth day after the apocalypse began. In this life, she didn't awaken any abilities; instead, she was bound to a system.

With ten ...

Chapter 249: Chu Liaoming

He Changjun is dead.

Chu Liaoming, who had always regarded He Changjun as her number one enemy, felt relieved but also a little confused when she heard that he was dead.

She had made killing He Changjun her goal for the past few years, a goal that constantly reminded her not to slack off and to strive to improve herself. Now that the goal was accomplished, she didn't know what to do next.

He Changjun is always surrounded by someone protecting her. Perhaps because he knows that she might hurt him, he is extremely careful every time he sees her.

Chu Liaoming spent many years bribing the people around He Changjun.

Slowly and bit by bit, he gave He Changjun a chronic poison.

Many years later, He Changjun, who was in his fifties, passed away.

She had waited for this day for far too long.

If Xu Bai had not developed various vaccines later, her father would have ended up being wiped out like those early zombies.

He Changjun contributed to the breakup of their family.

If he hadn't harbored malicious intent, her parents wouldn't have been forced to separate, and she wouldn't have been sent to Dawn City. Even though arriving in Dawn City brought her new hope in life, if she could, she would rather stay at home and become a zombie than be with her parents.

After Chu Liaoming finished explaining the matters, he hung up the phone and turned to look at his father who was busy in the kitchen.

She walked forward and coquettishly leaned her head on Chu's shoulder. "Dad, what delicious food are you making for dinner?"

"You're such a grown-up and you're still acting like a spoiled brat. What will happen if others see you? Get out of here and don't delay my work."

"I am still a little princess in my father's eyes, so I won't open it."

Chu Liaoming acted like a spoiled child for a while, watching her father cook.

At the dinner table.

Chu Liaoming rarely took out wine and poured a glass for Chu's father, which made Chu's father flattered. Usually, Chu Liaoming would not let him drink even a sip, but now he poured him a large glass. When Chu's father thought about how Chu Liaoming acted coquettishly when making dinner, he felt a little scared.

"Xiao Ming'er, are you feeling upset?"

"Or do you want to tell Dad that you are in love?"

Chu Liaoming took a sip of wine, his face unable to hide his excitement, "Dad, He Changjun is dead."

Father Chu had prepared a bunch of words about how falling in love is a good thing and so on, but he suddenly got stuck and was stunned for a long time. "You said he's dead?"

"Yes, Dad."

Father Chu downed the wine in his hand in one gulp, his expression dazed.

Over the years, he has been busy teaching zombies how to speak and act. After the zombies regained their sanity, he began to teach them knowledge. He has been busy all the time. He has long forgotten some of his hatred for He Changjun. When he heard that He Changjun had passed away, Father Chu had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He was the second zombie in the group who recovered as an adult without losing his memory.

He still remembers the days when he and He Changjun got along well.

"Death is not a bad thing. Let's eat, eat."

"Dad, don't you feel relieved? He's finally dead."

"It's joyful, but also very sad. We need to move on. With his passing, let's put the past behind us." Father Chu sighed. Seeing Chu Liaoming's happy expression, he asked in disbelief, "Xiao Ming'er, could his death have something to do with you?"

Father Chu took a look outside and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that he and Chu Liaoming were the only ones at home, but he still kept his voice low.

"Are you crazy? How can you be so bold? Have you cleaned it up? What would you let me do if someone found out?"

Chu's father was anxious.

Although the present situation is not as good as it was more than ten years ago, the times are progressing, and many new technologies that have never existed before have emerged.

If his daughter didn't handle the matter properly and was caught, she would have to spend the rest of her life in prison. Chu's father was very nervous and wanted to pat the man in front of him who was still very calm.

"Don't worry, Dad. He's very clean. He died of illness."

Chu Liaoming told her father about her plan. Even though it sounded like it had nothing to do with Chu Liaoming, his father was still worried. "There won't be a next time, there won't be a next time."

Father Chu was nervous for many days. After seeing that Xu Bai and others had no reaction, he slowly relaxed.

In fact, as soon as He Changjun died, Xu Bai received the news and knew the whole story.

As the head of a country, there are a lot of things waiting for her to deal with every day.

Naturally, she would not get involved in such grudges and revenge for no reason. As the cause of death of Hu Changjun was illness, then he died of illness.

Chu Liaoming knew that she had committed a crime, and she was also aware that Xu Bai had already known what she had done, so she consciously went to the village to help.

Chu Liaoming was a person with princess syndrome in her early years.

Xu Bai was deeply impressed by this.

Xu Bai opened the surveillance video of a village and looked at Liao Ming who was working. He was not like the person who complained about everything before. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt relieved.

She was wearing muddy waders, carrying a shoulder pole, and even her face was covered in mud.

"Chu Liaoming has changed a lot. There's no need to pay too much attention to her. Just let her be."

"Yes, I met her a while ago, but I didn't recognize her. She was wearing all black." Shi Qinghe came up and commented with a smile, which attracted Lu Yaoyao's attention.

Shi Qinghe immediately explained, "It's mainly because she usually wears bright colors. This is the first time I've seen her wearing black. You haven't met her before, so you probably don't know how serious her princess syndrome is."

"From the beginning, she even complained about our conference room being too dirty. She was picky about her food, her bodyguards were like nannies, and she spoke harshly and condescendingly."

"If you were to come into contact with this person, you would think she has a serious case of princess syndrome. She must have suffered a beating from society over the years and is much better than before."

"Someone on our team liked her before and confessed his feelings to her, but she rejected him. So, I told him directly, how could a lowly person think he was worthy of this princess?"

Xu Bai, Ji Heng, Lu Yaoyao: "..."

"You're quite nosy. How are your wedding preparations going?"

"It's almost time. We're going on our honeymoon by then, so don't throw us another bunch of work."

Xu Bai waved his hand: "Go away."

Chu Liaoming herself admits that she is very pretentious and has princess syndrome, but people always grow up.

When you are alone in a strange city, you always have to learn to do your own laundry and cooking. She could continue to hire an aunt or someone to help, but after what happened with He Changjun, she didn't like having too many people coming to her home.

Gradually, she no longer had those strange ailments she had before.

But on certain things, she stubbornly believed that a princess needs to be alone and does not need a man's company.

It's not that she hasn't been urged to get married over the years, but she has never had any thoughts in her mind.

Look at Shi Qinghe after she started dating. It’s like she cut off all her friendships with her former female friends.

Even so, he dared to mock her in front of her about the classic quotes she had said when she rejected their time as a team member.

In fact, Chu Liaoming said that he could still play for several more years.

Long live singleness!
