Chapter 143: The Last Day Tycoon (8)
“`
“Will zombies ever beco like us humans in the future?”
Chuzheng took a bite of her cookie, “That’s unlikely, at most they’ll have the intelligence of a toddler.”
Brother Bao sighed in relief, the intelligence of a toddler definitely couldn’t outwit those with normal human intelligence!
Chuzheng added leisurely, “However, that might not be the case with the Zombie Emperor.”
Pfft—
Brother Bao choked on his water, a large man coughing desperately, which was sowhat comical.
“Zom… Zombie Emperor? What’s that?”
Chuzheng thought for a mont, “The Boss of the zombies?”
Brother Bao had an image of the Boss of zombies stuck in his head, it took him a while to snap out of it.
“Why haven’t Yi Xiao and He Cheng co back yet?”
The people who had gone to relieve themselves just now had mostly returned.
Chuzheng leaned casually against the car door, her face serious, “They might be constipated.”
“…”
Brother Bao’s mouth twitched.
When she didn’t talk, everything was fine, a high and cold goddess.
But once she opened her mouth, it left people at a loss for words.
Brother Bao was worried that Yi Xiao and He Cheng, those two weaklings, might have run into trouble, and decided to go look for them.
But he had only taken a few steps when he saw Yi Xiao and He Cheng running back, followed by a few people, as if being chased.
Brother Bao’s face darkened at the sight of the people.
The group seed to halt warily upon seeing the burly Brother Bao.
One of the girls yelled at Yi Xiao, “Brother Yi Xiao, I really didn’t an to do it, the situation was too dangerous at the ti, I’m sorry, please forgive , okay?”
He Cheng pulled Yi Xiao back beside Brother Bao with a dark face.
“What happened?”
“They were in that group.” He Cheng nodded towards the group behind them with his chin, “We ran into them.”
“Brother Yi Xiao, I really didn’t an it.” The girl kept calling Yi Xiao ‘Brother’ repeatedly, making herself sound extrely wronged.
It was as though Yi Xiao had done sothing terrible to her.
The girl was pretty, delicate and charming, with a sweet voice, just a bit dirty.
A man beside the girl spoke up, “Yi Xiao, can you guys not be so petty? Under those circumstances, if we didn’t run, we would have died too, and besides, we went back to look for you guys later. You’re grown n, how can you hold a grudge?”
“Pah!” He Cheng popped his head out from behind Brother Bao, “You did that on purpose! If we hadn’t been lucky, we’d be dead by now. Yi Xiao, don’t listen to them.”
“Brother Yi Xiao.” The girl started to cry, “I’m sorry, really sorry, please forgive , I’ll do anything you ask, I really didn’t do it on purpose…”
Yi Xiao showed a look of pity, “Brother Bao, let it go.”
“Yi Xiao!” He Cheng called out to him, “Do you want to be hurt by them again?”
Yi Xiao continued to look distressed, “Xiner, I forgive you.”
He Cheng: “…”
Brother Bao: “…”
Not knowing what had happened but realizing it seed like a drama unfolding, Chuzheng, feeling a bit irked: “…”
The girl called Xiner was overjoyed and trotted up to him, “Really, Brother Yi Xiao?”
Yi Xiao nodded, “Mm.”
“I knew it, Brother Yi Xiao, you’re the best.” Xiner smiled radiantly and started to talk non-stop about her misfortunes. She began to cry as she spoke, looking pitiful.
Yi Xiao listened to Xiner’s troubles, his face a mix of sympathy and reluctance to hurt her, patiently comforting her.
Brother Bao and He Cheng felt like twisting Yi Xiao’s head off.
Chuzheng: “What’s going on?”
“Miss Chuzheng, this guy is just a sap with misplaced compassion,” Brother Bao cursed, unable to hold back.
“Hmm?”
“Just watch! Trouble’s definitely going to happen later,” Brother Bao was furious but was already heading over there, ready to take action.
After crying for a while, Xiner acted coquettishly, tugging at Yi Xiao’s hand, “Brother Yi Xiao, I’m so hungry, do you have any food?”
“I’m sorry, Xiner, I don’t have any,” Yi Xiao said apologetically.
Xiner: “…”
She hadn’t expected that after all her crying, Yi Xiao would just give her that response.
In the past, Yi Xiao had always been at her beck and call.
“`
“`
Xiner refused to believe it and continued to plead with tears for a long ti, but Yi Xiao wore a face of regret as he remained adamant that he simply had no food to give her.
Ultimately, Xiner shook him off and ran away crying.
The group over there murmured among themselves, each casting a dark glance at Yi Xiao before returning to their own ranks.
Brother Bao: “…”
He Cheng: “…”
Yi Xiao turned around to see his two companions looking at him with indescribable expressions. He adjusted his glasses in confusion: “Why are you two looking at like that?”
“I thought you would give her so food.”
“How could I?” Yi Xiao said, “These supplies aren’t mine, they belong to Miss Chuzheng.”
He Cheng: “…” If they were yours, would you have given them to her?
“So you’ve forgiven her?” Brother Bao asked.
“Yes.”
“… We almost died last ti, brother!!”
“But she looked so pitiful…” Yi Xiao said: “It doesn’t hurt to forgive her, especially since I’m not with her anymore.”
Chuzheng: “…” I knew he was a false saint!
The grudges between Yi Xiao’s group and those people were really not a big deal.
They had joined forces with that group after Yi Xiao took pity on them.
At first, they got along well, especially Xiner, who was extrely kind to Yi Xiao, always calling him Yi Xiao brother and almost devoting herself to him.
Once, when they encountered zombies, they agreed to act together, but the group turned traitors, using them to lure the zombies away while they fled.
Brother Bao and He Cheng would certainly not forgive them.
Yi Xiao said nothing and quickly changed the subject.
Chuzheng had only hired the three as drivers, so naturally, she had no interest in their feuds, as long as they didn’t disturb her peace.
–
The tattooed man brought so at for Chuzheng; such items were now very hard to co by.
Brother Bao and the others were a bit envious.
But they feared the tattooed man might try sothing cunning, so they dared not touch the food.
Chuzheng, on the other hand, didn’t care and began to eat directly: “They wouldn’t drug it.”
With such a large group behind them, if they wanted to drug them, they would wait until there were no outsiders around.
“Miss Chuzheng…”
Chuzheng had a few bites: “It’s not poisoned.” It tasted better than biscuits.
The three couldn’t resist anymore and hastily sat down to eat.
“Brother Yi Xiao, didn’t you say you had no food?” Xiner held two packs of biscuits, her eyes brimming with tears as she stood a few steps away: “I brought these especially for you.”
Yi Xiao, who was biting into a piece of at, heard Xiner’s voice and quickly stuffed the at into his mouth.
“Xiner, this isn’t mine.” He raised his head, full of regret: “It was given to us by that big brother over there.”
Yi Xiao pointed to the tattooed man who was talking in the distance.
Xiner glanced over there, and her little face changed slightly: “Then you shouldn’t have lied to …”
“I didn’t lie to you, I really don’t have any.” Yi Xiao looked utterly innocent.
“But…”
“You’re very noisy.” Chuzheng interrupted Xiner.
Can’t even eat in peace.
So annoying.
Take her out, take her out, take her out!
“I was talking to Brother Yi Xiao, what’s it to you?” Xiner glared at Chuzheng in dissatisfaction, her irritation growing as she noticed Chuzheng’s beauty.
“You’re very noisy.” Chuzheng stated the fact.
“Brother Yi Xiao, why are you letting her bully !” Instead of arguing with Chuzheng, Xiner turned her tearful eyes towards Yi Xiao to complain.
Chuzheng put down her chopsticks and slowly stood up.
Xiner inexplicably felt a chill run down her back and instinctively took a step back.
“What are you going to do?” Xiner shivered involuntarily: “Brother Yi Xiao?”
“You’d better leave, Xiner.” Yi Xiao called to her.
“Brother Yi Xiao, how can you be like this!?” Xiner couldn’t believe it, as if Yi Xiao had committed so unforgivable act.
