Reborn Before the Apocalypse: Hoarding Billions of Resources

A super-widespread meteor shower descended upon Blue Star, reshuffling existing scientific laws. Various monsters arrived on Earth with the black rain, alongside the unknown black domains formed af...

Chapter 97 Zheng Yu is dead

When Wang Yanan saw them enter wearing gas masks, her expression became even more furious. She grabbed the leader by the collar with her hands, which radiated coldness, and interrogated him.

The survivor, whose collar had been grabbed, looked completely innocent and flung out two vines in an attempt to resist.

The result was that her neck was suddenly frozen by the icy ice, which continued to spread to her ears, and the vines were pulled back from her heart.

“We can’t possibly destroy your green plants and potted plants. What good would it do us to kill you?” he retorted.

"So you went out wearing masks? Did you secretly throw sleeping pills at us?" Wang Yanan said to them irritably.

Zhou Yanli stepped forward, still wearing a smile, but it was a forced one.

After all, these people had just almost died in a very unclear way, so his questioning tone was much colder.

"Dr. Li, please give us a perfect explanation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cool, handsome men in suits around him surrounded the survivors who had just walked in.

They were all over 1.8 meters tall, and wore black sunglasses. When they all looked at each other, it was very intimidating.

When Dr. Li realized he couldn't hide it any longer, he revealed the secret of the strange tree.

Gu Mingyue leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, listening intently.

There are more monsters at night. To protect itself and the green land beneath its feet, the monster tree releases a highly potent sleeping potion that will cause both humans and monsters that smell it to fall into a coma.

Unbeknownst to them, they would be swept away by the vines of that strange tree and eaten until only bones remained.

Moreover, this strange tree is not afraid of strong acids, but it is very afraid of strong alkaline solutions.

"That's really all we know." With guns pointed at his head, Dr. Li didn't dare to look up at the crowd.

"You...you guys should try to understand us. We don't have many gas masks left. If I tell you that the sacred tree emits a sleeping potion at night, it might cause more trouble."

"I was thinking that since your doors and windows are protected by plants, I could just sleep through the night and leave safely tomorrow morning."

“We were all asleep. If you didn’t destroy these plants, how could we have sleepwalked and pulled them all out?” Wang Yanan continued her interrogation with a gun.

Dr. Li and others knelt on the ground and swore a solemn oath.

"Don't make things difficult for them. I know who pulled out all the plants."

Gu Mingyue said to everyone, "It takes a lot of time for my Xinghe to set up a spatial barrier. Now, all plant-type ability users in the room, please encourage the growth of some green plants and each of you should take one. Let's not waste time."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanli and the others realized that if Gu Mingyue hadn't woken them up first, they would all have been in trouble today.

They quickly had the plant-type ability users in the team encourage the growth of green plants, and handed the first few to Gu Mingyue and the other person.

Zheng Yu, as the strongest plant-type ability user here, realized that his status had risen and became arrogant. He urged for two green plants, handed one to Lin Meier, and then stopped urging.

"Hehe, Gu Mingyue, stop trying to play the hero. You're the first one to wake up here. I think you're just doing this on purpose to make Nirvana Base and Zhengjiabao owe you a huge favor."

Gu Mingyue ignored him and told Xinghe to put away the bed and screen in the room.

"You're still as sinister as you were when you were a child."

Seeing that Gu Mingyue ignored him, Zheng Yu continued to embellish his rumors.

"Hey you over there, what's with the name 'Gorilla'? Do you know what kind of person your female boss used to be? Her conduct wasn't exactly respectable!"

“After she was abandoned by her father, her mother died of cancer a few years later. She also had two younger brothers and sisters to support. Where do you think she got the money to open a shop and support her family? Where did she get the money to hire you?”

"She's been kept by who knows how many male CEOs..."

Before he could finish his next sentence, Xinghe appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, her dark, ink-like eyes meeting his gaze with extreme coldness.

Even though he hadn't made any movement, Zheng Yu felt as if all the oxygen around him had suddenly been sucked out, and a strong feeling of suffocation overwhelmed all his senses.

Soon his body began to deform, as if a living person had been put into a vacuum bag, his bones were compressed and made cracking sounds.

Like a quilt in a vacuum bag, Zheng Yu was instantly compressed into a hard, square-shaped human body half a meter tall by the spatial shield released by Xinghe, amidst the fearful gazes of the crowd.

Zheng Yu's final image is a distorted, pleading expression as he dies in agony.

"Ahhh!" Lin Meier didn't expect the people around Gu Mingyue to make a move, and she let out a piercing scream when she saw this terrifying scene.

Zhou Yanli hadn't expected Xinghe to act so quickly, nor had he expected Zheng Yu to die so soon. With his glove between his fingers, he hesitated for a moment but still didn't make a move.

Once dead, they have no further use.

If he stood up for him, the old man from Zhengjiabao wouldn't appreciate it at all; instead, he would resent him for not protecting Zheng Yu.

These two are indeed very capable. If they were recruited into the Nirvana Merchant Guild, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger?

When Xinghe killed Zheng Yu, Gu Mingyue was slightly surprised because she hadn't given the order yet, but she enjoyed watching it and didn't stop him!

I've wanted to kill this foul-mouthed bastard for a long time. Xinghe did a great job!

Her gaze fell on Zhou Yanli in the crowd. His business partner was dead, and he hadn't even made a move. It seemed his abilities weren't that great either.

She was 99% certain that Zhou Yanli was another person among this group with magical powers.

She had tried everyone else, but none of them could give her the same feeling. Only this smiling tiger was someone she hadn't tried yet.

When the smiling tiger looked at her with a smile, the small mole between Gu Mingyue's eyebrows, which was covered, became even hotter, as if to confirm that her guess was correct.
