Chapter 245 Someone Wants to Buy Her Life
Lin Muyan stopped caring about Rong Muchen's affairs.
After returning to the safe house, seeing that it was still early, she prepared to go out and go treasure hunting in Lincheng.
Two coordinate locators show the location is in the next city, and it won't take much time to get there.
After setting off, Lin Muyan went to the military base to find her older brother.
My older brother has been on two missions recently, and he has developed a more ruthless aura about him, making him look much more formidable.
"Brother, I'll be moving the safe house directly to the Doomsday Fortress in a few days. If you have time, go home first to familiarize yourself with the place, and also register with Mom, Dad, and Xiao Nuan. You can rejoin the team after the Doomsday Fortress is settled."
After Lin Xiao agreed, Lin Muyan left the army and headed straight for Lincheng.
Rong Muchen somehow learned that Lin Muyan was leaving the city, so he followed her out of the city.
Lin Muyan stood on Ah Bao's back, facing the wind with utter freedom.
Looking down at the ground, the bustling traffic and dazzling lights of the past are long gone.
But if you turn your head, you will see a towering, massive building that reaches into the clouds, standing tall and unyielding like a tower that connects heaven and earth.
Lin Muyan suddenly felt a sense of pride and honor.
Actually, she wasn't heartless. When she had the means, she was willing to help others survive better in the apocalypse.
If the golden shovel works well enough to dig up even more Doomsday Fortress Contracts, she would certainly be happy to do so.
If the world can never go back to what it was before, then of course she hopes that the Doomsday Fortress can protect all the surviving humans and give them shelter.
Let's see if she can dig up more contracts with her golden shovel.
Upon arriving in Lincheng, Lin Muyan no longer asked A Bao to carry her, but instead came to the ground alone.
The survivor population in City S is almost enough to cover the 300 million slots available in the Doomsday Fortress, leaving only a few thousand slots for other cities.
Many nearby survivors could only gaze at the towering structure, which was faintly visible, from afar, but could never reach it.
Military support has not yet been deployed here, and zombies still roam the streets, with most survivors staying at home to avoid the virus.
Lin Muyan gradually approached the first coordinate location. Just as she passed through a desolate park, she noticed a little tail following her.
"Stop hiding, come out."
As soon as Lin Muyan finished speaking, more than a dozen people carrying various weapons emerged from the surrounding area and quickly surrounded her.
The leader was nearly two meters tall, with a fierce and menacing appearance. He held a baseball bat, staring intently at Lin Muyan, then glanced at the photo on his phone.
"That's it, it's you. Someone paid to have you killed. Do you have any last words? Say them now!"
The enemy team immediately wanted to kill Lin Muyan, and their strong conviction made Lin Muyan laugh.
This group is hilarious; if you didn't know better, you'd think they were filming a TV drama.
"Oh? You've got guts, still able to laugh? Girl, are you going to die? Still laughing?"
Lin Muyan: ...
"Since I'm going to die anyway, how about you tell me who wants to take my life?"
Two-meter-tall Boss sneered: "Don't try to trick me. I, Sang Biao, have a reputation in the underworld. My credibility is impeccable, absolutely top-notch. I would never betray my benefactor."
Sang Biao?
Lin Muyan almost rolled her eyes.
"Then tell me, how much are you being paid? You can at least tell me that, right?"
Sang Biao slung the baseball bat over his shoulder and waved to his underlings beside him.
The underling carried a chair and obsequiously arranged it for Sang Biao.
"Boss, please sit down. This chick is being naughty. Let me handle her."
Sang Biao plopped down, but upon hearing this, he waved his hand and looked at Lin Muyan with great interest.
"No, even I, your brother Biao, didn't expect that even in the apocalypse, someone would still be willing to pay such a high price just to kill one person. I want to have a chat with this little girl myself."
Lin Muyan was no longer in a hurry to do her business and leisurely watched Sang Biao.
"They're willing to offer thirty crystal cores, plus twenty boxes of cigars, for your life."
Lin Muyan: ...
"That's all? Do you think I'm that cheap?"
Upon hearing this, Sang Biao burst into laughter.
"Little sister, in the past, this was indeed too cheap. It wouldn't even be enough for the appearance fee of one of your brother Biao's underlings. But things are different now. Do you know that in our circle, cigarettes and alcohol are also hard currency?"
"I don't need to elaborate on the value of the crystal cores, do I? Thirty is indeed a bit low, but they're willing to offer twenty boxes of cigars for it. Do you have that?"
Lin Muyan opened her mouth, realizing that she had overlooked something. She had read some science fiction novels before, and cigarettes and alcohol were indeed hard currency in the apocalypse, and their value would increase as time went on.
Sang Biao crossed his legs and said casually:
"Stop thinking about it. These days, there are hardly any shops left that can be broken into and looted, no matter how big or small they are. If you want to do something like that now, you're dreaming."
Lin Muyan stared intently at Sang Biao, then suddenly said:
"Okay, I'll give you a price too. I want to buy the other person's life."
Sang Biao was delighted; he loved these quick-witted lambs to the slaughter, from whom he profited.
"Then tell me, what price are you willing to offer?"
Without saying a word, Lin Muyan took out thirty crystal cores, thirty bottles of Moutai, and three cartons of Huazi cigarettes from her spatial storage.
"I'm offering this much to buy the other person's life, is that acceptable?"
Lin Muyan's sudden appearance of so much wine left Sang Biao and his gang dumbfounded.
A greedy look flashed in Sang Biao's eyes for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and stared at Lin Muyan with a probing gaze.
The fact that she has a personal space means she is an awakened being!
But when that person found him, he didn't say anything, only that the target was a young woman.
Killing a weak woman would yield thirty crystal cores and a ton of cigars, so Sang Biao figured that although the deal wasn't big, it was incredibly easy, practically a freebie, and so he agreed.
But now the result is that the target is actually an Awakened One!
Moreover, judging from the other party's calm and composed demeanor, the awakened superpower is probably not too useless.
At that moment, Sang Biao felt like he had been tricked.
After calming down, his underling leaned close to his ear and whispered something.
"Boss, this isn't right, is it? They didn't tell us they were going to kill an Awakened. If they had known it was an Awakened, the price definitely wouldn't have been that high."
Sang Biaohu glared at him: "Do you need to remind me? I'm not doing this deal anymore. That bastard dared to mess with me, I'll kill him!"
Lin Muyan waited patiently for the other party to speak, and after only a short while, Sang Biao readily agreed.
"Deal! I'll take this deal, and the price will be as you said."
Lin Muyan chuckled and waved her hand, putting the cigarettes, alcohol, and crystal cores back.
"Alright, I'll come back to pay you after it's done. Don't worry, I, Shen Jiaojiao, am the most trustworthy person in S Special Zone, and I definitely won't renege on my debt."
Lin Muyan walked away, and the viewers in the live chat finally realized what was happening.
[Holy crap, she's so cunning! She actually framed Shen Jiaojiao!]
[No, I think she's clearly trying to renege on her debt. The person who bought her life is either the Shen family or that bastard Rong Muchen. However, Shen Jiaojiao doesn't know yet that her entire family's high-level resident status has been revoked, so the person who bought her life is Rong Muchen.]
Wow, this is killing two birds with one stone!
