"We've already got all the tickets on the first day. What are we going to do for the remaining nine days?"
Han Rui transformed into a little fangirl, adoringly hooking her arm around Lu Sheng's shoulder and pinching it left and right.
She, Sister Lu, is the most amazing person in the world! No arguments allowed!
Zhang Xiaojuan raised an eyebrow and weighed her backpack in her hand; it was heavy and had a firm grip.
"Of course we'll spend it! With so many crystal cores, why would we save them to breed? We'll spend the money wherever we earn it, not bringing a single penny home!"
The group immediately agreed and rushed towards the bustling commercial street.
In the post-apocalyptic world, most people struggle to survive and barely have enough to eat, making places like Qinhuai City, with its highly developed entertainment industry, a rare find.
They won't be staying here permanently, so of course they should take advantage of this time to enjoy life.
Anyway, even the most expensive and high-end services before the apocalypse only require a few crystal cores now.
This wave is all about crazy spending!
They ate their way through the entire food street, bought gold, silver, and jade items like crazy, and even Zhuangzhuang and Penpen got a gold chain as thick as a finger.
Sing your heart out in a luxury karaoke bar, and for just ten crystal cores you can order two idols from famous pre-apocalyptic boy and girl groups to serve fruit platters and drinks.
Sun Tiantian and Han Rui were so engrossed in browsing the menu that their eyes practically popped out of their heads. In the end, Zhang Xiaojuan waved her hand and ordered all of the store's top 10 most popular dishes at once.
Because Lu Sheng and her friends were so generous, the KTV owner even gave them two top-tier singers from before the apocalypse to sing along.
"Waaaaah, Sister Lu, I finally understand the joy of being a tycoon in South Korea!"
Han Rui was surrounded by four adorable young idols, and she excitedly gripped the microphone.
Before the apocalypse, Sun Tiantian's biggest hobby was watching men; no newly debuted handsome guy could escape her discerning eye.
Now that he could finally spend some money and have some fun, he only took a shy photo and then quietly shrank back to Xiao Yu's side.
"Ordinary goods."
Sun Tiantian whispered something in Lu Sheng's ear.
Lu Sheng: "..."
You're like a gold digger who gets bored as soon as she gets her hands on someone.
Before the apocalypse, Lu Sheng had no interest in celebrities and always stayed in a soft sofa, showing off fruit platters.
Meanwhile, inside the bunker at the highest point of Qinhuai City, a tall, refined-looking middle-aged man was staring at the screen.
The screen was showing a clip of Lu Sheng defeating Zhao Tuo in one move on the ring.
"Unfortunately... it's a woman."
The middle-aged man gripped the armrest of the seat excitedly, then slowly let go with regret, saying...
Beside the man, a tall, curvaceous, and beautiful woman bowed respectfully. "Sir, there are still nine days left. I'm sure we'll find the most suitable candidate."
"Women are fine too, they can always be used." The middle-aged man suddenly smiled strangely.
"Any successes today?" The man turned off the screen and suddenly looked up at the beautiful woman beside him.
The beautiful woman's face stiffened. "I'm sorry, sir..."
...
The group sang until 11 p.m. before reluctantly returning to their hotel to rest.
They didn't get up until the afternoon of the second day, and together they found a Cantonese dim sum restaurant.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle.
Just as all the dishes were served, a static sound suddenly came from the walkie-talkie I was carrying.
"Lu Sheng! Where are you?! Lü Song is injured!" Ma Dongmei's distinctive husky voice came through the walkie-talkie intermittently.
"What's going on?" Lu Sheng asked, picking up a shrimp dumpling.
"Isn't it all for the tickets? Where are you? Is it convenient for you to come over?"
After receiving the accommodation address provided by Ma Dongmei, Lu Sheng and the others quickly ate a bite of staple food and set off immediately.
Due to insufficient funds, the people at the K3 base are temporarily staying in a small hotel near the river mouth.
When Lu Sheng and the others arrived, Lü Song had already lost consciousness due to the high fever.
"What happened?" Zhang Xiaojuan asked loudly as soon as she entered the door.
Ma Dongmei took a deep drag of her cigarette. "He signed up for the arena today, and although he finally passed the test and got his ticket, his last opponent was a power-type opponent who was close to the fifth rank."
"That guy was determined to fight to the death. Although Lü Song won, he broke several of his ribs."
Xu Yi bent down and first lifted Lü Song's eyelids to check the state of his pupils, then unbuttoned his clothes and gently touched the area of his ribs.
Lu Song's abdomen was covered with dense bruises and bleeding spots, and his condition was not optimistic.
"Three on the left and four on the right, they may have pierced the internal organs."
The bespectacled young man squatted by Lu Song's window, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face. "We've searched all the healing-type ability users in Qinhuai City, but not a single one is willing to help treat Brother Lu."
"Isn't that obvious! Everyone's fighting tooth and nail for tickets right now, who's going to bother with this?"
Ma Dongmei leaned against the wall, her strong eyebrows furrowed, taking one puff of cigarette after another.
There were no healing-type ability users in their team, so they could only watch helplessly as Lü Song's life slipped away.
Lu Sheng lowered her eyes and glanced at Lü Song lying on the bed.
His face was flushed and he was feverish. He had fallen into a coma due to the high fever. If he didn't have surgery immediately to reset his bones and treat the internal bleeding, he probably wouldn't make it through the night.
Healing ability users generally operate in teams, and in this sensitive period, any team with even a little bit of ability wants to try and get a ticket.
Everyone wants their competitors to die as many times as possible, and no one would be willing to help other teams.
"Surgery is necessary immediately."
After checking on Lü Song's condition, Xu Yi looked up and said to Lu Sheng in a serious tone.
Their eyes met, and Lu Sheng immediately understood Xu Yi's thoughts.
K3 base has already obtained its ticket, but the situation at the Qinhuai Heroes' Gathering nine days later is unknown.
It's better to have a partner than to go it alone, as this increases your chances of winning.
“Sister Mei, we can save Lü Song, but you have to agree to one condition.” Lu Sheng turned around and glanced at the remaining K3 base members in the room.
Ma Dongmei's eyes lit up, and she immediately threw her cigarette on the ground and stomped it out. "Tell me, we can agree to any conditions."
"From now on, anything you see must be kept secret and you must not tell anyone else."
Lu Sheng's gaze turned cold, and with a slight movement of his wrist, the Tang sword was drawn.
A sharp, cold light flashed in front of the K3 members inside the room.
"If any information leaks out, don't blame me for trying to silence you."
Of all these people, she was only familiar with Ma Dongmei and Lin Xiaobao; the rest were practically strangers.
Let's be clear from the start, and when it's time to take action, we'll be ruthless.
"Don't worry, boss."
The bespectacled young man stood up, his eyes red. "We won't forget our military principles. As long as you're willing to save Brother Lü, I'll do anything for you, even be your slave!"
"Alright, you all go out first, keep an eye on the door, and don't let outsiders disturb us."
Lu Sheng sheathed his sword and said calmly.
