More than failing to obtain the talisman jade slip, Shu Hengming was more concerned about the water in Qingyou's hand.
After all, if Xiuxiang were to say some conciliatory words to Xiling Jun later, they could probably exchange any good things they found for him.
But Qingyou has good stuff in her hands. If she keeps exchanging things with Xilingjun and the others, she can increase her strength, which is the biggest threat to them.
Mentioning this made Qu Xiuxiang even more unhappy. "Shu Qingyou was also too much. Before, when she sent red envelopes, she gave everyone else that kind of water, but only gave me a level one crystal core. Otherwise, we would have known what kind of water it was."
She found that things had started to go wrong ever since Shu Qingyou joined the group chat.
Shu Hengming thought for a moment and asked, "You blew Qingyou downstairs before, are you sure she didn't find out it was you who did it?"
Qu Xiuxiang nodded, "Yes, I did it very discreetly."
"And I've listened to you and never revealed this wind-elemental magical artifact in my hand."
Shu Hengming stroked his chin. "In that case, if we run into Qingyou next time, we can continue to be good brothers and sisters-in-law like before, and then try to get information out of her."
He then narrowed his eyes and said, "If the water in her hand is of great use to us, then we'll find another way to get rid of her."
Last time, Shu Qingyou was lucky; next time, the other party might not be able to escape their grasp.
Qu Xiuxiang agreed, "That's good!"
The two successfully drove the car into the residential area, where the zombies had already been cleared out.
After getting off the car, Qu Xiuxiang carefully removed the talisman that had been stuck to the car.
He noticed that the talisman's color had faded by about a third compared to before, and felt a little heartbroken. "If I had known this talisman was this effective, I wouldn't have wasted it."
Shu Hengming also felt a little sorry for her, "We won't know the effect until we try it. Let's save the remaining two for when it's really important."
"Say some nice things to Xiling Jun in a few days, and then see if you can get another talisman."
"You can get more crystal cores by killing zombies, but such talismans are very rare."
Qu Xiuxiang nodded, "Okay!"
The two got out of the car and walked towards a building.
Qingyou got out of the car at the entrance of the residential area and walked into the area alone.
Seeing the two heading towards that building, he followed them.
There are seven people sitting on the sofa in the top-floor apartment of this building.
In front of them, a young man was tied to the ground.
His fair and handsome face was stained with an unnatural red, and he looked like he was in great pain.
He looked at the people on the sofa and asked, "What exactly do you want?"
These men are bodyguards for the Shu family, and three of them have awakened supernatural abilities.
His parents had asked them to protect him, and the group didn't show any problems along the way.
Last night he suddenly developed a high fever and was drifting off to sleep when these people splashed water on him to wake him up and tried everything to keep him from falling asleep.
They even tied him up and left him in the living room.
He couldn't understand what these people wanted. If they wanted to kill him, why go through all this trouble? They must have some ulterior motive.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The scarred man leading the group on the sofa smiled and said, "It must be the boss."
So he went to open the door himself.
Upon seeing Shu Hengming and his wife, his smile deepened. "Boss, sister-in-law!"
Upon seeing this, the others immediately greeted respectfully, "Boss, Sister-in-law!"
Shu Hengming smiled and nodded at them, "Thank you for your hard work!"
These people were originally bodyguards he had trained, but after the apocalypse, all the established order of identities was disrupted.
These people are skilled, and some of them have even developed supernatural abilities.
Fortunately, his wife was reborn and stole Qingyou's opportunity, exchanging it for a cultivation technique from the red envelope group. This not only made him stronger than the superhumans, but also awakened his superhuman abilities.
He was ambitious, so after demonstrating his strength, he subdued these people.
In order to win over a few people to work for him, he treated them like brothers.
Of course, he looked down on these people in his heart, but he wouldn't show it on the surface.
The group welcomed Shu Hengming and his wife inside, and Shu Heng'an, who was on the ground, was also seen there.
He wasn't stupid; he understood by now that his current predicament was all the work of his cousin.
He asked bluntly, "Cousin, what are you planning to do?"
His relationship with this cousin was rather cold; the cousin was the heir of the first wife's family, while he was the child of the second wife's family.
This cousin usually treats him very politely in front of the family, but behind his back he is very arrogant and even looks down on him, clearly disliking him.
He didn't like his cousin either, so they hardly interacted and therefore never became enemies. He just couldn't understand why the other person would do such a thing.
Shu Hengming walked over and half-squatted down to look at Shu Heng'an, "I just don't like the look of you."
Because his wife was reborn, he didn't reveal the truth just in case.
Moreover, he didn't want the people present to know about his and Shu Heng'an's background.
Shu Heng'an was not only feeling unwell all over, but also very weak. "So you want to kill me?"
Shu Hengming laughed out loud: "Heng'an, you're very smart."
Shu Heng'an scoffed, "So you really think highly of me, coming here personally to deal with me."
He had previously heard that the scarred man had been in contact with someone, and now he realized it was his cousin.
What puzzled him even more was that if the other party wanted to kill him, they could have just ordered these people to do it. Why did they have to make the trip themselves?
Is he that important? There must be some secret he doesn't know.
Judging from Shu Hengming's expression, he didn't intend to tell him.
Shu Hengming, a metal-based ability user, quickly conjured a knife in his hand. "So you should feel fortunate that I came here specifically to finish you off personally."
He hired these bodyguards because he was afraid they wouldn't be reliable, or that something like what happened before, where Qingyou didn't die, would happen again.
He wouldn't be at ease until he saw Shu Heng'an die with his own eyes.
Shu Heng'an wasn't particularly afraid when he saw his cousin's knife. Although he didn't want to die, he was powerless to resist in his current state.
He closed his eyes, awaiting death.
Seeing this, Shu Hengming's smile deepened. It felt so good to be able to control people's lives.
Therefore, he must become the strongest in the apocalypse.
He raised his hand, ready to stab the knife he had conjured towards Shu Heng'an's heart.
Just then, a woman's voice rang out, "Are you trying to kill me to cover up your past?"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked towards the door.
Because they were the only residents in the building, they didn't close the door after Shu Hengming and his companion came in.
Shu Hengming and Qu Xiuxiang were startled when they saw Qingyou, who was dressed in a red dress and had long, flowing curls that reached her waist, looking incredibly beautiful.
Shu Hengming stopped what he was doing, stood up, and looked at Qingyou with a look of surprise. "Little sister, it's so good that you're still alive."
He had a bad feeling about this.
What did Qingyou mean by that?
She actually brought up her background; does that mean she already knows?
