Chapter 9 No money? Forget it!
Yu Yousi suppressed her inner sorrow and looked at the blood-stained teaching building from afar. Although she didn't want to admit it, the group of people locked in the lecture hall were indeed her teammates. She couldn't just stand by and watch them die while she could protect her own safety. An
idea suddenly occurred to her, and she said to Gu Bingchen, "There are a group of people locked up in there. You can go and make some money."
Smart people don't need to say much. Gu Bingchen immediately understood what she meant, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
Tang Yizhao guessed what his boss's smile meant at a glance. He was going to slaughter them.
Chu Wanyue handed Yu Yousi a backpack, which contained not only bandages and hemostatic drugs, but also two bottles of water and some compressed biscuits.
"Thank you!" Yu Yousi's eyes were red, and he bowed deeply to them, "If I return to the base alive, I will definitely pay you back double."
Gu Bingchen waved his hand and reminded him very rarely, "The base should send people to search and rescue in the next two days."
Yu Yousi understood it immediately, "I know, I will take Xiaobao to hide."
Xiaobao was led down the mountain by his sister. He turned his head and waved, "Goodbye, brothers and sisters, when I grow up, Xiaobao will definitely repay you."
Jiang Yunqi nodded, and the gentle smile on his handsome face was a little stiff, perhaps because he hadn't smiled like this for a long time.
In the classroom, after waiting for a long time, the madman did not catch Yu Yousi. Zeng Yuan's pretty face twisted. She lowered her head and said angrily, "You are so slow. Can you move faster?"
The girl who was yelled at paused for a moment. Her ten fingers were bleeding from being rubbed. However, she still had to cut the rope slowly to prevent the iron sheet from hurting Zeng Yuan's delicate skin.
After about a minute, the rope was finally cut. Zeng Yuan moved her wrist, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly, "Really, there are red marks."
As she said that, she raised her leg and kicked the girl's calf. When she heard the girl groan, she smiled with satisfaction.
"Okay, why bully her? Let's run. When that pervert comes back, none of us will be able to escape!" The person who spoke was a handsome young man. He was the captain of this team, a B-level fire-type mutant with some strength. He was the one who was beaten the worst by Zhu Qi except Yu Yousi, and he was also the one who judged that Zhu Qi's level should be A.
Zeng Yuan rolled her eyes, and became even more annoyed. She glared at the young man and said sarcastically: "Why are you pretending now? Why didn't I see you being a hero to save the damsel in distress before?"
Yang Zi'an frowned, but said nothing. The person in front of him was the daughter of the base commander's younger brother, and they couldn't afford to offend him.
At this time, there were several footsteps outside the door. The people in the lecture hall trembled all over and sat back in their chairs subconsciously, their faces pale and trembling with fear.
"Hey, there are really people here, 123... a total of 6 people."
The one who poked his head in was a curly-haired boy, dressed neatly and looking very sunny.
Everyone's hearts were slightly relieved, followed by a burst of ecstasy. Are they going to be saved?
"You are..." Yang Zian didn't finish his words.
Three more people followed the curly-haired boy, two of whom were tall and slender, with jade-like faces, which were out of place in this dirty and filthy place.
Gu Bingchen raised his chin slightly, motioning Chu Wanyue to go forward and collect the money.
There were many strange things in Chu Wanyue's bag. She took out a small abacus and began to calculate: "6 people, 10 crystal cores each, and the zombies outside... a total of 100 crystal cores."
"Hello, do you want to pay now or later? Delayed payment requires a certain interest."
Yang Zian was stunned by the series of numbers. After a moment of stunned, he said in a hoarse voice: "What do you mean?"
"Of course it means to pay." Chu Wanyue looked at him strangely, then frowned. This man didn't want to pay.
"No, why do we have to pay?" Yang Zian asked in confusion.
Tang Yichao came forward and said, "We chased that guy named Zhu Qi away, and there were a lot of zombies downstairs just now, and we cleaned them up, so you don't have to pay."
Someone muttered, "No one wants you to save them."
Gu Bingchen showed a sneer on his face.
People are like this.
Zeng Yuan, who had been silent on the side, finally remembered who these people were. They were celebrities in the Meicheng base, and they were people that her father and uncle had repeatedly warned her not to mess with and only to make friends with.
There was a stench lingering at the tip of her nose. Zeng Yuan glanced at the pretty and gentle Chu Wanyue with the corner of her eye, and then thought about her current wolfish appearance, and felt a little unhappy.
"Is that person Gu Bingchen?" Someone else in the team recognized Gu Bingchen.
Yang Zian then reacted. He had heard of this man's name and knew some of his deeds.
It is said that those who try to cheat on their debts all have a bad end.
The team's inventory is not much left. They are just a small team. These 100 crystal cores are really not enough. Besides, Zhu Qi had looted the crystal cores from them before.
"Can it be cheaper?" Yang Zian asked in a low voice.
Chu Wanyue shook her head: "Unfortunately, no, unless you can exchange other items of equal value."
Items of equal value are nothing more than the medicines, food, water resources, or guns and ammunition that are in short supply now.
However, they don't have many of these things.
Someone else in the team asked, "Can I use points?"
"No." Chu Wanyue remembered something and took out a one-inch photo from her pocket. "If you know this person's information, we can consider giving him a discount."
Yang Zian looked down and saw that the person in the photo was a young man with delicate eyebrows and eyes. He was very good-looking, the kind of face you would never forget.
"No, but we know who he is." Coincidentally, Yang Zian was a student at Ningcheng University. He had met this beautiful boy half a year ago.
His name was Xu Huili, an international exchange student. He was shy and didn't like to communicate with others, but because of his superior appearance, he was liked by many people.
When the apocalypse broke out, he was at Ningcheng University. Yang Zian had never seen him at the Meicheng base. Perhaps, this handsome boy died in the mouth of a zombie, and also did not escape the bombardment of the shells.
Chu Wanyue took back the photo, at least she had gained something: "Thank you for the clues you provided, I will give you an 18% discount and waive the interest on delayed payment."
Yang Zian opened his mouth, but under Gu Bingchen's gaze, he really didn't dare to say anything to lower the price.
He lowered his head and sighed: "We choose to postpone payment."
"Okay." Chu Wanyue skillfully typed out an IOU and handed it over. This was a card with a special mark. "I hope you will keep your word and pay on time." Gu Bingchen
leaned lazily against the door frame. After seeing that the transaction was initially reached, he turned around and walked downstairs: "Let's go and search other places."
The people behind him saw that the group of people had just left without calling them, and hurriedly chased after them: "Aren't you going to send us back to the base safely? Why don't you wait for us?"
Gu Bingchen didn't even turn his head, and sneered: "Give me money, and I'll send it. If you don't have money, forget it."
The person who spoke blushed and shut up.
Zeng Yuan rolled her eyes and had a new idea. She gradually left Yang Zian's team, quickened her pace, ran to Gu Bingchen, and stopped them: "Take me away, I have money."
Jiang Yunqi was walking on the path with Gu Bingchen one after the other. He was caught off guard by a smell in his nose, a sour smell mixed with a strong smell of blood. He walked away without leaving a trace and retreated to the end of the team.
Gu Bingchen gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and looked at Zeng Yuan: "No, I won't see you off."
Zeng Yuan was puzzled: "Why? I have money."
"It stinks, stay away from me."
Gu Bingchen bypassed Zeng Yuan who was blocking the way, quickened his pace and rushed to the foot of the mountain. It was no wonder that Jiang Yunqi ran away, the smell was really pungent.
Zeng Yuan was driven crazy by the words "It stinks". How could there be such a person!
Her face was hot and she stamped her feet unwillingly.
Jiang Yunqi would rather walk to the side with dense trees than get close to Zeng Yuan.
There was indeed no pheromone interference on the blue planet two thousand years ago, but the pungent smell was everywhere, almost as bad as the fishy smell of the Zerg. He rubbed his nose and hated his sensitive sense of smell for the first time.
Ningcheng University covers an area of more than 1,700 acres, with a building area of about 550,000 square meters and 12 colleges. It took two days for them to complete the all-round search.
Tang Yichao's eyes were lifeless: "When are we leaving here?"
Chu Wanyue looked up, gazing at the small theater not far away, and said, "That's the only place left."
The theater is semi-elliptical in appearance and occupies a large area. Most of the activities of Ningcheng University are held here. It used to be a bustling place, but now it is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
"Did you hear some strange noises?" Before he got close, Tang Yichao vaguely heard applause, as if it was haunted. He shuddered. It was sunny outside, but as soon as he approached the theater, he felt cold all over.
Jiang Yunqi, who had already reached the door, suddenly stopped and looked back.
It seemed that someone had been watching them, but without any ill intentions.
He raised his eyes and looked at the dark entrance of the theater. There was a breath inside, which was similar to the zombie he encountered last time in the research center.
"What's wrong?" Gu Bingchen asked with his head tilted.
Jiang Yunqi simply told him what he found.
Gu Bingchen slightly put aside his careless look and asked again: "Are you sure it's the same as the last zombie?"
"The level should not be much different." Jiang Yunqi's spiritual consciousness has not yet fully recovered. He has been relying on crystal cores to nourish himself during this period. Without seeing what is inside, he will not make a blind judgment.
"Hmm..." Gu Bingchen is not the kind of person who shrinks when encountering difficulties. He carefully considered it for a while, and decided to find out. He
also told Tang Yichao and Chu Wanyue to be alert.
He stepped over the threshold and opened the curtain. It was pitch black inside. A small fireball condensed in Tang Yichao's palm to illuminate the way ahead.
This was a small corridor with many footprints on the floor. The walls were relatively clean without many blood stains. There were many items scattered on the ground, as if they had been pushed away by someone.
He continued to walk forward, and gradually a faint light appeared. Tang Yichao was about to open the curtain in front of him when warm applause suddenly rang out all around, which scared him enough. With
trembling hands, he opened a little gap.
