"Actually, I originally wanted to go back to the Wuwang District, but you know the situation in the City of Hearts. I can't leave, and they won't let me leave either."
Susan's hand touched the glass in front of her. The colorful neon lights in the distance brought a sense of security to the city.
The woman's face was reflected in the glass, showing her worried expression.
Chuanliu followed the woman's gaze and saw that the patrol team had lit torches, and several small teams with flames were moving through the city.
After Cao He's death, Susan took over almost all of the management of the Red Peach Casino. In addition, with the sudden outbreak of the Corpse Man incident, Susan had much more work to do than before.
Chuanliu glanced at Susan and said, "How's the Red Heart Casino lately?"
The latter shook his head. "Not good. With urban unrest, the entertainment industry is hit the hardest. Who has the mind to come here?"
She walked back to her chair and continued, "However, the Red Heart Casino is the heart of Red Heart City, and I must take precautions, otherwise the entire city will be destroyed."
Susan looked much more haggard than the last time I saw her, clearly because she hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.
Chuanliu nodded and sighed. "Qian Liu told me about the 'disaster' two years ago. You and Wang Shuo were both saved by him. I know you don't want to experience that kind of disaster again."
Susan's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head as if her secret had been exposed. "Yes, you haven't experienced it, so you probably can't imagine. A lot of people really died back then. I don't want to see something like that again."
Instead of leading the woman to recall what had happened before, Chuanliu changed the subject and asked again, "So, from where did the zombies invade Red Heart City? Are your current defensive measures sufficient to resist the zombie invasion?"
Susan's expression turned serious. "They came from the border between the City of Hearts and the City of Plums. As you know, there is a large desert outside the City of Plums. Those corpses have not come out of the desert for many years. Their sudden appearance at this time makes it hard not to suspect that there is some kind of opportunity."
Chuanliu agreed, saying, "The City of Clubs had actually infiltrated the other three suits. First, it was Jia Zuowei, the 10 of Diamonds; then Lei Laojiu, the 9 of Spades; then Jiulong, the 9 of Hearts; He Dadong, the 8 of Hearts; and Zhuang Qiang, the 7 of Hearts; then Cao He, the King of Hearts; and finally Li Chengfeng, the Jack of Diamonds, and Li Yunting, the Jack of Spades."
With these official residents, and through transactions with them, Plum Blossom City could have secretly done whatever it wanted. But their deaths deprived Plum Blossom City of those resources.
If they can disrupt the layout of Paradise Island and realign the interests, they will have a chance to rest easy again.
“So, all we can do now is try our best to protect the city and prevent them from succeeding.” Susan nodded. In fact, the Red Peach executives and Chuanliu’s speculations were not much different. They all knew that this matter was caused by the City of Plum Blossoms.
But even if the City of Plum Blossoms created the Corpse Men to bring chaos, could these Corpse Men be stronger than the combined strength of the Spades, Hearts, and Diamonds?
Susan was actually a little apprehensive about this question, after all, the final result of the "disaster" two years ago was still a stark reality.
She took a deep breath and said to Chuanliu, "Can you do me a favor?"
Chuanliu looked at her.
"Could you go to the Wuwang District and help Brother Qian Liu?" Susan asked, her eyes filled with hope.
Chuanliu was somewhat puzzled. "Help him? What do you want me to help him with?"
Susan pursed her lips, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. "He... plans to reveal his identity, his identity in the Boundless Zone."
Chuanliu hadn't expected this. She thought Qian Chuan planned to gather resources in Wuwang District and then launch a counterattack against Plum Blossom City, but she didn't expect Qian Chuan to directly reveal his identity.
Once he reveals his identity, he will naturally inherit all the assets left by the little devil. All the homeless in the Wuwang District, and even other homeless people who have received support from the Wuwang District, will become a powerful tool that Qianchuan can use.
However, this also means that he will immediately attract the attention of Plum Blossom City, and may even be hunted down, retaliated against, or sniped.
However, even after learning about the difficulties of making money strings, Kawanyu still shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Susan, I can't agree to that."
Susan seemed to have anticipated Chuanliu's answer, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. "It's nothing. Actually, Brother Qian told me not to tell you, not to make you worry. I just wanted to try and see if I could make you do what I can't."
Chuanliu looked intently at the woman before him. "Sister Susan, why don't you tell him your thoughts?"
"What did you say? That I like him?" The latter just gave a bitter smile. "Chuanliu, you don't understand. When he rescued me from my suffering, our statuses were no longer equal. No matter how hard I try to repay that debt of gratitude, there will always be an insurmountable barrier between us."
Chuanliu shook her head; perhaps she really didn't understand.
In fact, Paradise Island has given many people a "new life," so why can't we live as we please for once?
The two fell into a brief silence at this point in their conversation.
They were all looking out the window, gazing at the endless darkness...
Susan and Chuanliu made up their beds at the Red Peach Casino to rest. This way, Susan could react promptly to any emergency, and Chuanliu could also observe the Red Peach Casino's security measures.
Although the number of customers at the Red Peach Casino has plummeted compared to before, the base of customers is still there. Even late at night, there are still some customers sitting at the gaming tables, seemingly planning to stay up all night.
It was gradually getting to midnight.
Chuanliu and Susan were dozing off on the makeshift bed in the VIP room.
bell--
Suddenly, a deafening alarm rang out from the casino, shattering the tranquility. Immediately afterward, a series of chaotic footsteps echoed from downstairs.
Outside the door, a security guard's voice was urgent as he pounded on the door, shouting with all his might, "Sister Susan! Emergency! A zombie has been discovered invading the casino!"
The sudden sound was like an electric shock, instantly dispelling all their drowsiness.
The lobby on the first floor was a complete mess.
The guests were terrified, screaming and scattering in all directions, creating complete chaos.
Looking down through the corridor railing, I could see more than a dozen security guards armed with weapons, holding a suspicious-looking figure firmly in the center.
The figure in the middle, at first glance, still retains the outline of a human, but upon closer inspection, one can see that its face is distorted, its eyes are bloodshot, and it makes a chilling hissing sound from time to time.
Even more bizarrely, this corpse was dressed exactly like the casino security guards.
