A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes but Bai iyue restrained herself in ti. She knew that she was unable to do anything to Zhou Jinchuan at present. That man had enough ties with the higher-ups, and she believed that the man must have enough weapons to protect himself at the mont. But that didn’t an that she would not be able to deal a blow to that man.
She curled her lips and thought, ’The future is very long; there is no need for to rush.’
She turned to look at Xie Yie, who was sitting on the floor of the hospital and questioned, "How much gold did Official Zhou promise Lu Ling?"
"I believe that it’s at least fifty kilograms," replied the skinny man promptly. His rat-like face twitched when he spoke and he looked behind them as if worried that Lu Ling would rush out and hold him accountable.
Fifty?
Though it was not much, it was not little either.
She further questioned, "And where exactly is the deal taking place?"
Realising that the woman was hooked by the deal, Xie Yie smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. "Boss, the deal is supposed to take place at the factory over the cliff, right next to the Zhu district. There is a lot of inventory of solar panels, diesels, quilts, a yacht, and grain. Official Zhou prepared these in exchange for the weapons that Boss Lu had prepared alongside the fifty kilograms of gold."
"Will Official Zhou be coming there?" Bai iyue asked and the man chuckled upon hearing her question.
He said, "Of course not, Miss. Why would the big boss co down to handle such a small deal? He left his n in charge. Don’t tell you are planning on raiding the warehouse of the factory? The boss there is not simple; he can knock out more than ten people together."
Bai iyue was not worried about this matter. She simply said to the man in front of her, "Are you willing to take to the warehouse? If you are, then you can take twenty boxes of supplies, including five boxes of weapons."
She could, of course, make this man give her the exact address if she wanted but Bai iyue could see that Xie Yi was a smart man. If she ford a link with him, he would co in handy in the future.
When Xie Yi heard that he could take twenty boxes of supplies, he was moved. Though he was a thug, he was also scared after seeing the world plunge into such a horrifying condition. Unlike the officials, he did not know anything about this disaster and had prepared nothing.
By the ti he realised that sothing was wrong, it was too late. He could only suck up to people like Lu Ling and hope that he would get sothing in return but that man was petty and a miser. No matter how hard he worked, Lu Ling only gave him one or two boxes of supplies.
Compared to him, Bai iyue was much more generous. She was willing to take out at least twenty boxes.
He would be a fool to not take the olive branch that the woman had handed to him. Thus, Xie Yi agreed at once.
Who would object to getting the supplies in this situation?
"Then I will lead you there with a few of my own people, is that alright?" Since both of their interests were tied, Xie Yi was really proactive.
Of course, Bai iyue had nothing against him. She agreed and let the man take the wheel.
Fortunately, Xie Yi was not a fool. Even though Lu Ling did not treat him well, he sohow managed to smuggle a motorboat from the man.
With the motorboat in hand, it did not take long for Bai iyue and Xie Yi to arrive at the hiding spot of Xie Yi’s group.
Bai iyue looked at the forrly bustling shopping centre that was now desolate, with only a few zombies popping up in search of human scent. As the water level was no longer as high as it was in the past, they could walk on the street without any problem, except for floating away every once in a while when the water current beca a bit faster.
Looking at the sight in front of her, Bai iyue clicked her tongue; she knew that the majority of the humans were hiding in their houses and were waiting for the governnt to rescue them.
Bai iyue, who had the information of the past and the present, knew that there was no point in waiting for the governnt officials. As they were the first one to bolt the second, they knew that things were going south. These officials first established the bases with enough manpower to consolidate their strength and only once they had settled themselves with that hideous syndicate did they send people to be rescued.
By then the zombies had evolved and it beca even more dangerous for people to step out of their hos.
Compared to that, Bai iyue thought that this was the correct ti to hunt for supplies. The chances of getting supplies were higher and the zombies were weak as well.
"It seems like they cannot sll us with this much water," Xie Yi whispered as he looked at the zombies that were walking around on the water-filled street while muttering ho ho. "When I and Boss Lu were in the hospital, they jumped on us the second they slled us."
With so of the zombies having their eye sockets empty, Xie Yi deduced that these things relied on their other senses to detect humans.
Bai iyue did not say anything when she heard his words. How was she supposed to tell that the reason these monsters were not attacking them had nothing to do with the water in the street; it was her who was masking their scent and the noise of the motorboat? If not, they would have been attacked by now!
Not wanting this man to do sothing foolish when she was not with him, Bai iyue still kindly advised him, "Don’t step out without proper protection and weapons in your hands. These things are still weak and can’t do much harm but who knows what will happen later on?"
