"I'm scared."
Jiang Jiuniang glanced at him lazily, her eyes full of sarcastic laughter, and continued, "So isn't that why I'm keeping your life alive?"
Although she didn't ask the former leader what method he used to control the timing of the apocalypse, and it was even difficult to tell if it was true or not, she knew in her heart that as long as he was spared, everything would be fine.
That bastard is afraid of death and would never be so foolish as to take his own life to get revenge on her.
Sure enough, the leader was furious and could only let out a resentful roar, but he did not make any further moves.
Ruozheng, who was standing next to him, hesitated but ultimately said nothing.
Jiang Jiuniang noticed her unusual behavior and suspected that the water prison had left a huge shadow on her, causing her discomfort. So she didn't linger and led them away from the water prison.
However, Ruozheng was thinking about something else.
After Jiang Jiuniang and her family settled in at the former chief's house, she took the opportunity to speak to Jiang Jiuniang alone: "Ajiu, we think we should not only refrain from harming the former chief, but also find a way to support him and prevent him from dying easily."
Seeing that Ruozheng looked uneasy, Jiang Jiuniang sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ruozheng said, "I don't know if it's true or not, but I remember someone mentioning before that he seemed to have used some means to live as long as the heavens, and that if something happened to him, it would mean the end of the world."
"To live as long as the heavens?"
Jiang Jiuniang smacked her lips. "What the hell? To say he'll live as long as the heavens? He really dares to say that!"
She continued, "No matter how powerful a person is, it's impossible for them to live as long as the heavens. Anyone who dares to say that must have done something shady. I will investigate, so you don't need to worry."
Jiang Jiuniang laughed when she heard that old man talking about the end of the world. She thought he knew some inside information, but she didn't expect him to use such a lame excuse.
That's good; my only worry is gone.
Hearing her say that, Ruozheng still felt that it was better to be safe than sorry, and he did not relax his vigilance. He decided to find more people to keep watch at night in order to prevent any accidents from happening.
Jiang Jiuniang had no objections. After reaching a consensus, Jiang Jiuniang took a walk around the villa, scooped up a lot of good things, and put them all into her space, to reward those who obeyed orders and worked diligently when the opportunity arose.
Zhu Zhu went out on patrol and saw that everyone was working diligently, so she went back to report to Jiang Jiu Niang. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that it was time to eat, and she instantly forgot everything and quickly sat down.
Jiang Jiuniang placed a chicken leg on her plate and then asked, "Zhuzhu, after you avenge your father, would you like to come with me?"
"Yes, yes! I'll follow you wherever you go, Sister Ajiu!"
She nodded vigorously, perfectly embodying the saying "whoever feeds you is your mother."
Jiang Jiuniang was amused by her, but still continued to explain: "It's another time and space, more than a thousand years ago in ancient times. Transportation was inconvenient, and there were no such smart devices. Can you adapt to that kind of life?"
This time, Zhuzhu didn't answer immediately. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Are there these delicious foods every day?"
Jiang Jiuniang glanced at the food on the table and nodded without hesitation: "I will arrange a job for you when you get there and pay you a salary. The money you earn will be enough for you to eat well every day."
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely go! Anyway, going anywhere is better than staying here and living in fear."
This is the apocalypse, and we could be gone at any time, but if she went back to ancient times, she would have a chance to live to a ripe old age.
Isn't this a sure way to make a profit?
Jiang Jiuniang nodded, and the matter was settled.
I originally wanted to call Lu Baichuan that night, but I was so tired after a long day that I went straight to sleep. Poor Lu Baichuan was waiting in the yard early in the morning, but he was left waiting in vain.
The next morning, Jiang Jiuniang went to the water dungeon alone, dragged out the former leader and Yan Fa, and took them away. She took them to a room where they could conduct experiments and tests and spent the whole morning tinkering with them. Finally, she understood how they dared to say that they were as old as the heavens.
She gave the two of them a cold look, holding the test report in one hand and a rope in the other, dragging them out like dead dogs. By this time, there were already many people standing in the villa's garden.
Last night, Jiang Jiuniang instructed Zhuzhu to notify everyone to come over early this morning. The purpose was to give them today's pills and some of the rewards they had collected.
Everyone was exceptionally enthusiastic. They arrived long ago but didn't dare to rush them. They waited patiently, and then Jiang Jiuniang led out two old men who were exhausted and disheveled.
Jiang Jiuniang didn't immediately explain why she brought them out. Instead, she distributed the pills and reward resources first before saying, "These two should have died yesterday, but the old man said he could postpone the arrival of the apocalypse, so I had them both tested. Sure enough, both of them had the genes of a biochemical virus implanted in their bodies. Once their bodies die, the virus will grow and spread on a large scale, and no one can escape."
As she spoke, she generously showed everyone the test report.
"The so-called longevity equal to heaven actually means that when they die, everyone will be dragged down with them. Isn't that the end of the world?"
Jiang Jiuniang was so angry she almost laughed. There really were such selfish and shameless people, and there were two of them.
The crowd immediately erupted in uproar. They never expected these people to be so disgusting, not only did they want to die themselves, but they also wanted to drag others down with them.
For a moment, they wanted to kill the two men, but they couldn't actually kill them, since biological weapons were no joke.
"Chief, what do we do now? Is there really no way to deal with them?"
Not only are they not allowed to lift a finger, but they also have to be served the best food and drink?
This is worse than killing them!
Jiang Jiuniang thought for a moment and said, "Keep him locked up for now, and send more people to watch over him. Don't let your guard down."
"yes!"
Jiang Jiuniang glanced at the two men. Although they were disheveled, their faces were full of smugness. They thought, "What can Lan Jiu do to them?"
As long as they are alive, they will always have a chance.
Jiang Jiuniang twitched the corners of her mouth. It's alright, let them gloat for a while longer.
During the meal, Ruozheng couldn't help but say, "Ajiu, if that's the case, I'm afraid I can't go back with you in peace. I have to stay here and watch over them, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
She wouldn't trust anyone else with the responsibility, so it was better for her to keep an eye on it herself.
Anyway, Lan Jiu has the Twin Jade, so I can just come and visit her when I have time.
Jiang Jiuniang continued eating, showing no intention of stopping. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she said, "If they can implant it, can't we take it out?"
Ruozheng looked at her in disbelief: "But this is too dangerous!"
