Chapter 237: Zone Zero
The man's bloody face suddenly smiled...
That smile is what the hunter is determined to get.
Su Yan frowned and warned, "Unless you want to meet the god of death."
The man did not know how he moved, but he suddenly approached Su Yan, and put his bloody lips on her neck, as if he was kissing her with a breath, but also as if he was declaring, "I am the god of death!"
Su Yan disagreed, "The God of Death could have almost been killed."
The man touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed just now.
Su Yan continued her work, throwing the three bodies into the black plastic steel box like dead pigs. One of them was too tall, so she broke its leg and folded it in without any mercy.
The man enjoyed the whole process.
"I am Huo Qing, the vice president of the Qinglong Society."
"Treating your wound is not within the scope of my job, so I will charge you an extra five thousand." Su Yan held out her hand.
Huo Qing took out the checkbook from his suit pocket, filled in the numbers and signed, then tore off the check and handed it to her.
…
The next day, when Su Yan was cleaning the corridor, her cell phone rang.
The call was from an unfamiliar number, so I picked up the phone and said, "Hello."
"Conference room, come and clean up."
"tip."
“Same as before.”
"I'll be there in ten minutes."
After Su Yan cleaned up the body, she waited for Huo Qing's tip.
Huo Qing took off his suit jacket, revealing a black shirt underneath. He rolled up his shirt sleeves, walked around to the bar, poured two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Su Yan.
"Don't drink during work hours." Su Yan refused.
"Check." Huo Qing knew what she wanted.
Su Yan took the wine glass without saying anything, drank it in one gulp, and smacked her lips, "Good wine."
"Then you drink it like water." Huo Qing handed her the check he had prepared long ago.
Su Yan put it away and said, "Since it's mixed with water, of course you have to drink it as water."
Huo Qing's expression was petrified for a moment, "I bought it for two million."
"I'll compensate you ten times if the product is fake. Congratulations, Vice President, you've won the prize." Su Yan pushed the cleaning cart and prepared to leave.
"Wait, accompany me to District 1 tomorrow to attend the auction in three days."
“It’s not free.”
"You can write the check at your convenience."
"Okay, what time tomorrow?"
"Nine o'clock."
…
The next day at nine o'clock, on the tarmac.
Su Yan had her hair tied in a high ponytail and was carrying a rather large backpack on her slender back. She arrived at the right time, neither too early nor too late.
Huo Qing had already arrived. Standing in front of the private plane, he looked at her large backpack and asked, "What is that?"
"Cleaning tools." Su Yan handed the heavy backpack to the crew for storage.
"You love what you do." Huo Qing joked.
"This is my job, I must carry it with me." Su Yan replied solemnly.
"Well said." Huo Qing patted her shoulder with considerable force.
Su Yan's forehead muscles twitched slightly, but she managed to bear it.
Huo Qing's expression became even happier.
After entering the cabin, Su Yan walked around the cockpit and asked the pilot a few simple questions about the operation, looking like a curious child.
"Like airplanes?" Huo Qing lit a cigarette, and in the smoke, there was a hint of casual nobility.
"Who doesn't like it?" Su Yan smelled the aroma of cigarettes and reached out to him, "Give me one?"
"You can still smoke." Huo Qing threw the cigarette and lighter to her.
Su Yan took it and said, "Vice President, this cigarette smells good. Try it."
Huo Qing looked at her smoking and biting cigarettes, she looked very experienced, without a few years of smoking history, it would be impossible to do this, "How did you get addicted?"
"It's none of your business."
"Do you want to continue studying?"
"Does a cleaner need a high degree?"
"Cleaners are not needed."
"That's not necessary."
"You plan to do this for the rest of your life?"
"It's not that there are three insurances and five funds."
"You are easily satisfied."
"Contentment brings happiness." He put out the cigarette in the ashtray.
Huo Qing's deep eyes bent slightly, and he took a deep puff of the cigarette, as if he wanted to savor its flavor carefully. He exhaled after a long while, making people feel a suffocating pressure.
Su Yan looked at him calmly, "If you keep smoking like this, you'll smoke yourself to death sooner or later."
"Worried that I'd die?"
"Tsk~" Su Yan sneered. What was her relationship with him? She raised her hand to tuck the hair around her ears and walked to the window to look down.
After the war, there was no country here, and it was made up of nineteen districts.
The richest district is District 1, and the poorest is District 19, which is where she is now. The highest leader is the District Chief, followed by the District Chiefs, Deputy District Chiefs, Councillors, etc. Outside the 19th district, due to the harsh natural environment and the lack of conditions for human survival, it is also called District Zero.
District 19 is a huge eggplant-shaped area with factories of all sizes and chimneys emitting black smoke everywhere. There are few places where you can see green. And these places are either rich or powerful.
Inside District 19 is District 18. Farmland and crisscrossing roads can be vaguely seen. There are fewer factories and lakes as clear as mirrors. It is much better than District 19.
Outside of District 19, next to District 0, she could clearly see a large area of abandoned city from the plane. She came from there. There were also burnt ash, foggy forests, a sea river emitting suspicious gases, and a desert with rising temperatures...
"Vice President, have you been to Area Zero?"
Huo Qing threw the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, and it happened to be mixed with the cigarette Su Yan had just smoked.
"I have been there. It is a restricted area for humans. And in recent years, there are signs that it has spread to District 19."
Just as he finished speaking, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out in the cockpit of the plane!
Before Huo Qing could react, Su Yan rushed over first.
This reaction speed is even faster than his! Huo Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
The pilot was dead, the cockpit was destroyed, and the direction of the plane changed. It was no longer the transit hub Area 18 Airport, but a restricted area for humans - Area Zero!
"When I first boarded the plane, I noticed that the way he spoke and his expression was a little abnormal." Su Yan kicked the pilot away roughly, sat down herself, and tried to control the plane.
Huo Qing looked at her and remembered that she had asked the driver a few questions. She actually realized something was wrong at that time. Was it instinct or some kind of training?
If it's the latter...
After Su Yan's desperate efforts to save the situation, the plane still fell towards the zero zone, but it was finally just a patch of grass on the edge, not deep into the zero zone as before.
There are a lot of supplies on the plane, and it is best to keep them. Otherwise, without these supplies, it is absolutely impossible for several people to survive in Zone Zero. Also, although part of the cockpit was destroyed, there are usually spare parts on the plane, and it may be possible to repair it.
"Vice President, carry your parachute and necessary supplies, and jump first with the others. I'll try to save the plane. We'll act accordingly."
Huo Qing didn't move at all, as if he didn't have the final say on whether he should leave or not.
Su Yan: “…”
If you don’t want to leave, then forget it.
Su Yan stopped talking and tried her best to control the plane... Finally, after a thrilling and violent turbulence, the plane finally stopped on the grass.
Huo Qing's lips, which had been taut as a line, slowly revealed a smile, and he stepped forward and patted her shoulder, "Well done."
Su Yan pushed his hand away, "...I don't want to die yet."
