Chapter 124 Zombie Siege (17) - My Home Was Robbed
Cheng Chuan had overheard Ning Shu's words to Zai Fu Meng earlier, and seeing her current behavior, he guessed that she had softened her heart.
He probed, "Are you sure? If we take her away, the progress bar for our mission 1 will be shortened again."
Ning Shu was also conflicted, but she couldn't bear to see such a "talented" child die.
She made up an excuse: "She just saved us, no matter what. It's not too much to repay her with a progress bar."
By the end, her voice was almost inaudible.
Cheng Chuan was amused by her last sentence; Ning Shu was still the Ning Shu he knew.
He agreed: "Then take her with you."
Ning Shu's eyes lit up. He actually agreed! No wonder he's the man she likes.
Her feelings for him grew rapidly.
Ning Shu said to Zai Fumeng, "Sister, come with us later. It's not safe for you to do the mission alone."
Zai Fumeng was overjoyed: "Brother and sister, have you decided to join me?"
Ning Shu was speechless. Where did you get this confidence? We're already being generous by letting you join us; you expect us to join you?
Ning Shu: "Do you know how many NPCs we three need to find to clear the game together?"
Zai Fumeng: "Wasn't it 100? The system said at least 100 people. Oh, I see, 101."
God-level understanding.
Ning Shu sighed, "We need 300. The system means each person must find at least 100 NPCs, understand?"
Zai Fumeng was a little confused: "What? That..."
She thought for a moment, "Then I'm still quite far off."
Ning Shu remained silent: These five NPCs of yours are practically nonexistent, aren't they? They've always been far from enough.
Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan had just finished a match and needed time to recover their energy. The two sat down to rest, drink water, eat, and discuss what to do next.
Cheng Chuan: "Xiao Meng, is there anywhere else around here where there might be any living people?"
Zai Fumeng knew this: "I know, there seem to be people in a small building across the street, I saw them."
Cheng Chuan: "Take me to see it."
Zai Fumeng led him and Ning Shu to the restroom, specifically the women's restroom, where there was a window on the innermost wall.
The window is closed now, and there is a simple ladder next to it. It's very simple, probably made by Zaifu Meng himself.
She moved the ladder to the window; it was the perfect length. She gestured for Cheng Chuan to climb up and open the window.
Cheng Chuan climbed up, opened the window, and looked outside.
Through this window, you can see a relatively short building across the street. That building is an old office building, and surprisingly, it hasn't been demolished and is still in operation next to this building.
Cheng Chuan saw that there were indeed figures moving around in some of the windows of the office building. These figures would occasionally lean towards the windows, seemingly observing the situation outside.
There were no zombies outside the small building, so why didn't those people leave?
After observing for a while, Cheng Chuan came down and asked Ning Shu to go up and take a look.
Ning Shu saw a similar situation to Cheng Chuan, but she had one more thing to consider.
That's all it takes to confirm there are no players there.
Cheng Chuan: "Your skill allows you to climb walls, why don't you go over there and ask them what the situation is, and whether they'd like to come with us?"
Ning Shu agreed, so she climbed out of the window and went to the low building next door.
Ning Shu used her silver tongue to persuade the NPCs in the small building, and most of them agreed to go with her.
She counted the number of people; there were about 30 people, plus Zaifu Meng's group, making a total of 41.
At this moment, she heard from the NPC in the small building that there were many zombies on the first floor of the building, all hiding and wandering around inside, and they dared not leave.
She came back first and told Cheng Chuan what had happened.
Cheng Chuan: "I just saw a van parked on the side of the road. I'll go see if I can drive it."
"You take a few in your off-road vehicle, and I'll take the rest. That should be enough to get them back."
The two split up. Ning Shu was worried about how to take the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people away, but unexpectedly, Zai Fumeng had already made preparations.
She built a ladder and brought the elderly couple and their three children down, and also brought everyone else in the small building down.
A group of people were waiting on the street. Zai Fumeng retrieved the cloud ladder, and after Cheng Chuan put the steering wheel back into the off-road vehicle, he followed Ning Shu into the off-road vehicle.
Cheng Chuan found the van locked and sighed, realizing that luck wouldn't always be on his side.
Then they heard an NPC emerge from the small building and say:
"You need to use the car? Our company has a minibus parked in the back, but you need to go back to get the keys."
Cheng Chuan suddenly realized that his luck wasn't so bad after all.
Ning Shu went back to get the key as instructed by the NPC, and then, as usual, performed a round of checks on them before driving away.
The minibus is designed to carry 18 people and is already overloaded. Special circumstances require special handling.
When they returned to the villa, they found the atmosphere was a bit off; the villa's security detail was pointing weapons at them.
Ning Shu was puzzled. She got out of the car first. The guards obviously recognized her. Although their tone was not fierce, their words were somewhat cold and hard: "Stand over here."
Ning Shu could take them down in a minute, but she held back and waited to see what kind of trouble they would cause.
Cheng Chuan was also "invited" down by the guards, and he too remained still.
The people on the bus were very nervous, not knowing what was happening. When they heard the armed men telling them to get off the bus, they had no choice but to obey.
After the guards checked everyone who had returned and found no problems, they ran back to the villa. A while later, Wu Yi came out.
Seeing that Wu Yi was unharmed, Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan both breathed a sigh of relief.
When Wu Yi saw them return, his face lit up with joy, but then darkened, and his previously cheerful steps became hurried.
Seeing Wu Yi like this, Ning Shu's heart sank, and her gaze towards Wu Yi became somewhat unfriendly.
Sweating profusely, Wu Yi steeled himself and walked up to the two of them, whispering, "Sister Ning, Brother Chuan, um, um..."
Ning Shu, impatient with his stammering, said, "What's wrong? We've only been gone a day, and you're treating us like this? Are you asking for it?"
Wu Yi shook his hands like windshield wipers, quickly denying, "No, I, we have... a player here."
Players? Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan frowned.
Wu Yi continued, "The other party said that this place is now under his jurisdiction." He lowered his voice to the lowest possible level.
Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan both understood: Good heavens, they had only been gone for a day and their house had been robbed!
The key point is that they left behind a companion, and the companion seemed to give up the house without any resistance?
They wanted to see who these people were, so audacious as to dare to bully them.
Ning Shu felt that he was now terrifyingly strong.
She put in so much effort beforehand, and now someone else wants to take away her hard-earned achievements? What right does that have!
