Chapter 196, Victory
"I'll put all my money on it and beat the ordinary people to win."
Recognizing her, the vice-captain asked with a surprised smile, "Little sister, is this your card? Over 30,000 points?"
How could an ordinary person like her get an ID card worth over 30,000 points? It must be the ID card of the space-based psychic she was traveling with.
However, a space system that can accumulate more than 30,000 points is also quite impressive.
At least no one here has scored over 20,000 points, including the team leader Huo Lingyin.
"You'll know if it's my ID card once you check it. Why lie about something like that? As for where I got all those points, it's none of your business." Pressing the ID card against the pillar with a slap, Jiang Ran sneered, "Isn't this a bet? Are you still going to gamble?"
The girl spoke sharply and someone whistled.
The deputy captain looked at Jiang Ran and uttered a helpless sound: "Bet, why not?" He confirmed again, "Are you sure you want to go all in and bet on an ordinary person to win?"
Jiang Ran nodded: "Of course."
She turned to look at the young man in the courtyard.
He was looking at her too.
She was too far away to see his expression, but she could feel his cold gaze fixed on her.
Jiang Ran curled his lips into a smile and walked into the courtyard.
"What are you doing?" Knowing that she was the captain's guest, someone exclaimed and tried to stop her.
"Isn't this a gambling game?" Jiang Ranjing walked into the yard and stood between the man and the zombies. "I'm just an ordinary person. I'll take over this round."
"ah……"
"Is this okay?"
"Deputy Captain?"
Amidst the discussion, Jiang Ran raised her voice: "What? You don't dare to gamble anymore? If it's a weak girl, you're afraid of losing?"
"Haha." Feeling slighted, the deputy captain sneered, "Bet! Place your bet!"
She wouldn't think that just because she was a guest of their team, the zombies would show mercy to her, right?
He was confident that he could control the zombies so that they wouldn't actually hurt her, but it would be a good lesson for her - if she stood up without the ability, she would only get herself into trouble.
"You don't have to do this." A low voice came from behind, "Are you in cahoots with them? Offending them won't do you any good."
"You don't have to do this for them." Jiang Ran pointed at the old, weak, and sick people behind him. "Just like those psychics said, keeping them alive is a waste of food. Without their protection, they can't even take a single step in this apocalypse. Why would you risk your life to protect them?"
The girl who was pulling the man's clothes was frightened by her gaze and shrank behind him.
As if he didn't like what she said, the young man didn't continue to argue. He just lowered his eyes and said, "I'm just repaying a favor."
Jiang Ran smiled slightly: "Then I am just doing a favor."
The man was completely silent.
…
On the eaves, Si Xu put out the cigarette in his hand and looked at the courtyard with interest.
The moonlight cast a soft glow on him, melting the coldness in his eyes and making his gaze a little gentler.
"You just let her do this?" The woman stood on the terrace, just in position to see everything in the yard.
She glanced at the man: "Can I borrow a cigarette?"
Si Xu was in a good mood and threw a pack of cigarettes to her.
The woman raised an eyebrow: "So generous?"
Now that the four major bases are all struggling to solve the problem of food and clothing, how can they have the leisure to study a "luxury" like cigarettes?
In the end times, cigarettes are a good thing, one less cigarette you smoke.
Si Xu's gaze remained fixed on the girl, and he casually replied, "It's not a good thing. Smoking too much can cause cancer."
Huo Lingyin curled her lips, lit a cigarette skillfully, took a deep drag, and blew out smoke rings. In the cloud of smoke, she sighed: "In this world, the only thing more tempting than men is probably cigarettes."
After finishing a cigarette, she lit another one without hesitation: "Hey, is that girl your girlfriend or your bedmate?"
"My girlfriend." When the topic turned to Jiang Ran, Si Xu'an couldn't help but smile proudly, "Isn't my Jiang Ran very handsome?"
Huo Lingyin held a cigarette in her mouth and smiled: "Don't you think it's troublesome? An ordinary person, stirring up trouble everywhere - in today's world, ordinary people should keep their tails between their legs, swallow their anger and beg for mercy. This is the way to survive."
Si Xu finally looked at her and gave her a serious assessment: "Your knowledge is limited to one corner and your knowledge is too shallow. I feel sad for your teammates when someone like you becomes the captain."
Huo Lingyin: “…”
The woman laughed at his comment: "You're so awesome, but you still just watched your girlfriend being fed to zombies?"
"Jiang Ran is my apprentice. Beating you up is no problem." Si Xu looked back at the courtyard. "Beating up a zombie is more than enough."
…
By the time the two men on the rooftop were giving their evaluations, the people outside the courtyard had already placed their bets.
"Girl, are you ready?" the man holding the zombie teased, "If you're ready, I'll let go."
"If I win, will you lose everything?" Jiang Ran suddenly asked.
“Huh?” The man was stunned and laughed, “That requires you to win first, hahahaha!”
With a laugh, he loosened the tight rope.
Freed, the zombies howled twice and rushed towards the delicious food opposite.
Amidst the shouts, the girl did not retreat but moved forward.
Before those people could see her movements clearly, she had already nimbly passed by the zombies.
Figures intertwined, and the zombie's head and neck were separated.
The head, emitting a foul smell, rolled a long way, and the body took two steps due to inertia and fell directly at the man's feet.
The shouting stopped abruptly.
The scene was quiet.
"This..." Someone rubbed his eyes, not understanding what happened in the yard.
Jiang Ran clapped his hands, glanced at the dazed group of people, and squinted his eyes and said, "I won this round."
The deputy captain opened his mouth and blurted out, "Our rules prohibit the use of weapons."
"Did you see me using a weapon?" Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows.
"You..." Did you pull the zombie's head off with your bare hands?!
Knowing that the girl must have used some tricks, but no one saw clearly, the vice-captain choked for a long time, and could only pout and reluctantly admit: "You win."
Jiang Ran smiled slightly: "Continue?"
Before the deputy captain could reply, one team member said unconvincedly: "The fun has just begun, of course we have to keep going!"
Jiang Ran bowed: "Then I will respectfully obey your orders. I will not hesitate to accept your points."
Everyone: "..."
After three rounds, some players with fewer points had lost everything except their underwear, while players with more points began to hesitate.
"Still betting?" The girl shook the blood off her hands and smiled brightly, "I just started exercising."
Everyone: "..."
Seeing those people hesitant and silent, Jiang Ran knew when to stop: "As the saying goes, small gambling is good for the soul, big gambling is harmful to the body, and high-end gambling will be wiped out - you people, it's obvious that you haven't experienced the harsh beatings of society."
"you……"
"Today I've been taught a lesson by society. Remember to behave more in the future." Without giving them a chance to speak, Jiang Ran sneered, "You all, remember to transfer the points you lost to me to me."
“…”Sudden pain in the flesh.
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, he looked up at the people on the terrace.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and said loudly: "You two, have you had enough of the show?"
