Apocalypse: I became rich by selling zombie live broadcasts

Chapter 59 Someone Provoked
The roof of the shopping mall is transparent, and you can see the gloomy sky outside when you look up.

Shi Nianzhen took two deep breaths and suppressed her irritation. If she hadn't wanted Gu Jiandong to take her to find Zhang Xixi, she would have wanted him to crash the plane.

If you really want to repent.

Then why has Gu Jiandong never called her since the end of the world?

After her last appearance in Zhou Ling’s live broadcast room, everyone on the Internet knew that she was not dead. Why didn’t Gu Jiandong look for her once?
It's just a lie.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't act like you're disgusting me. You don't deserve to mention my mom."

"You kid, why don't you even give your father a chance to repent--" Gu Jiandong said.

"Whose father are you? Six years ago, you and I agreed to break off our relationship. There is no child of yours here." Shi Nianzhen licked his back teeth and interrupted him.

"Call yourself daddy in front of me again and I'll kill you."

Shi Nianzhen's tone was light and didn't sound threatening, but her tone didn't sound like a joke either.

Gu Jiandong was silent for a while before asking in a deep voice, "What do you want in exchange for believing me?"

Shi Nian really didn't expect that even after her warning, Gu Jiandong still refused to give up playing the role of a loving father. On a whim, she wanted to test his bottom line.

"How about this, if you kill Zhong Qin, Gu Ziyu, and Gu Zixin, I'll give you this chance. How about that?"

"You!" Gu Jiandong was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Shi Nianzhen narrowed his eyes.

According to Gu Jiandong's temper, she asked him to kill his favorite twins, which would definitely make him angry, but now he actually endured it.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

It seemed that her value to him was higher than she estimated.

A heavy sigh came from the drone.

Gu Jiandong seemed to have given up on playing the emotional card with her and said instead, "I originally thought it would be hard for you to be alone in the apocalypse, so I wanted to take you back to the base. I didn't expect you to think of me this way."

"Oh?" Shi Nianzhen asked slowly, "Didn't you come to me because you saw my live broadcast and saw my value?"

"You and I both know that we have no feelings for each other. If you want to win me over, talk to me in a different way."

"I'm not the delicate Gu Zixin. I won't rely on you for food before or after the apocalypse. On the contrary, in the apocalypse, many people will rely on me for food."

"Were you born knowing how to make money?" Gu Jiandong was clearly furious. "Didn't you eat, wear, and live in my house when you were little?"

"My mother said that she raised me and it has nothing to do with you," Shi Nianzhen said immediately, "Do you think I should believe her or you, a shameless person?"

"But without me, your mother couldn't give birth to you alone. You will always owe me a life!" Gu Jiandong shouted.

Shi Nianzhen was very angry with him and immediately retorted like a machine gun:
"That's because you're lusting after my mother's beauty and want to have a child with her. You have to understand that it's you who needs me, not me who needs you."

"You shivered on my mother without my consent, and I haven't even come to terms with you yet, and you have the nerve to ask me for it?"

"You——" Gu Jiandong tried to interrupt.

Shi Nianzhen didn't give him a chance and interrupted him even louder.

"Besides, six years ago, Gu Ziyu and Gu Zixin attempted to kill me but failed. You said it was just a repayment for your kindness, but now you shamelessly bring it up again. Who do you think you are, with two lives?"

"Get down here!" Shi Nianzhen stared at the helicopter.

The gravity field spread out towards the helicopter, and the helicopter suddenly fell down, like a bird with a broken wing falling to the ground.

The zombies rushed forward, but stopped before they got close to the helicopter. Instead of approaching, they turned around and walked into the shopping mall.

Shi Nianzhen looked at the zombie that suddenly seemed to have been possessed, with his eyes half-closed.

"Are these zombies attracted to us?" Bei Mian said.

"I don't think the marks on our bodies are enough to attract the zombies outside," Shi Nianzhen said thoughtfully, "someone must be driving them."

Bei Mian raised an eyebrow, "Wouldn't that person be able to walk sideways in the apocalypse?"

Shi Nianzhen tilted his head and looked at the dozen or so people who came down from the helicopter. His eyes searched each of their faces, trying to find the person who controlled the zombies.

"I guess this takes a lot of energy for him, otherwise he wouldn't choose flying as a means of travel."

The group walked into the shopping mall.

Shi Nianzhen and Bei Mian changed their positions so that they could always see them.

Gu Jiandong was still dressed in a suit and tie, and he was neither fat nor thin. There were not many wrinkles on his face in his fifties. His gray hair was combed meticulously, and his beard of the same color was also carefully groomed.

There is no sign of him struggling in the apocalypse, and he still maintains his pre-apocalyptic dignity.

As the deputy base commander, Gu Jiandong was not the leader. A young man in his thirties was guarded in the middle.

A group of people seemed to be vaguely led by him.

Shi Nianzhen guessed that he was the one who controlled the zombies.

The two sides met.

They stared at each other warily.

"How dare you do that?"

Gu Jiandong's eyes turned red when he saw Shi Nianzhen.

Of course I'm angry.

"How dare you act like your father in front of me?" Shi Nianzhen shot back.

"Haha, hearing about it is worse than meeting it in person. Miss Shi is indeed a rose with thorns," the young man standing next to Gu Jiandong said, "Uncle Dong, we should be more tolerant and patient with beautiful women."

Shi Nianzhen stared at him without saying a word.

Even though they were far away, the flash of surprise in the young man's eyes did not escape Shi Nianzhen's eyes.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Chen Hong, the commander of Guangdong East No. 3 Base." Chen Hong spoke to Shi Nianzhen in a self-proclaimed elegant manner.

Shi Nian was very familiar with his expression.

It was the way those wealthy, stinky men used to look at her when she attended dinner parties in the past.

Shi Nianzhen rubbed his fingers.

I endured it again and again and didn't let him kneel down on the spot.

"Oh, nice to meet you." Shi Nianzhen said dryly.

"The person next to him looks familiar too. Is that the singer Bei Mian?" Chen Hong looked at Bei Mian.

Bei Mian has an androgynous face and has been sporting a cool androgynous style since her debut. She even has more female fans than male ones.

Don't be fooled by her constant smile and teasing of Shi Nianzhen. In fact, she is not warmer than her temperament.

At this moment, Chen Hong pointed at her, and she snorted coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."

"..."

The scene was a bit cold.

"What a unique person." Chen Hong didn't care and gave himself a way out with a smile.

He turned to Shi Nianzhen again and looked at Shi Nianzhen sincerely.

"Miss Shi, I don't know what conflict you have with Uncle Dong. But there's no such thing as an overnight grudge between a father and daughter. If there's any misunderstanding, we should sit down and resolve it properly. Otherwise, if we suddenly discover it was all a misunderstanding a hundred years later, how regretful we will be, don't you agree?"

Shi Nianzhen stared at him coldly.

At first glance, what Chen Hong said seemed to be fine, as if he was an uninformed person who wanted to reconcile the father and daughter.

But these words made Shi Nian really feel uncomfortable. Before she could figure out the reason for her discomfort, Bei Mian beside her suddenly let out an "Ah~" and let out a high-pitched dolphin sound, like the beginning of a song, interrupting her thoughts.

The uncomfortable feeling in Shi Nianzhen's heart disappeared.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Bei Mian snorted coldly and did not give a good look to the people from the Guangdong East Third Base.

Instead, he winked at Shi Nianzhen and said, "I'm so sorry. I suddenly wanted to warm up my voice. I hope I didn't scare you."

Shi Nianzhen shook his head.

"That's good," Bei Mian said, leaning close to her ear, "Be careful, that person just used his psychic powers to control you."

Shi Nianzhen's eyes flashed, and he calmly shifted his gaze away from Bei Mian's face and stared at Chen Hong below.

No wonder she felt uncomfortable.

Someone came to provoke us.

Shi Nianzhen's mental strength is now 200 points, and his spirit will not be easily shaken by others.

How strong is the opponent's psychic ability to make her feel uncomfortable?

"We are birds of a feather. Mind your own business." Shi Nianzhen said.

Chen Hong was silent for a moment, trying to maintain a smile on his face: "Haha, it seems that Miss Shi has some misunderstandings about me, but it doesn't matter. Time will tell, and Miss Shi will understand my good intentions in the future."

"..." Shi Nianzhen didn't say anything.

But Chen Hong is obviously a person who can sing the show by himself without any help from others.

"Miss Shi is right. I did watch your live broadcast and found out you were in Yuezhou City, so I sincerely invite Miss Shi to visit our Yuedong No. 3 Base."

"I already know you're looking for Mr. Zhang Xixi," Chen Hong said with a face full of shame. "To be honest, he just left our base this morning. I didn't expect him to disappear in such a short time."

"He came to our base to deliver supplies. It's only logical that our base should help find him."

"There is strength in numbers. If we work together, we will definitely be able to find the person faster."

"So that's how it is," Shi Nianzhen nodded, "Then let's start looking now. Did he say where he was going when he left?"

"This..." Chen Hong looked at Gu Jiandong.

Gu Jiandong said in a deep voice, "We reached a deal. If he eliminates the zombies between the base and Baozi Wharf, he can take away half of the supplies at Baozi Wharf. I sent someone to look for him when he left the base just now."

Chen Hong nodded. "In that case, Miss Shi, why don't you come back with us to the base and wait for news, so as not to miss the team that's looking for her."

Shi Nianzhen's original intention was to get close to this group of people.

According to her idea.

Zhang Xixi was either taken back to the third base in eastern Guangdong or kidnapped to another secret base.

But no matter what the situation is, we must start with Gu Jiandong.

"Okay." Shi Nianzhen agreed.

Seeing that Shi Nianzhen agreed, Chen Hong laughed again and again.

"Ms. Shi, you are so opinionated at such a young age. You can tell at first glance that you are an independent heroine," said Chen Hong.

"..." Shi Nianzhen looked at him expressionlessly.

Chen Hong seemed to be encouraged by this look and continued, "Miss Shi, your spatial ability is really amazing. You can bring a flying helicopter down from the sky. I guess the space in your domain must be very large, right?"

Shi Nianzhen's heart tightened when he heard that. He maintained his previous expressionless face and asked, "Who told you that I have spatial abilities?"

"Ah?" Chen Hong was stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Jiandong secretly.

"Who do you need to tell me? Didn't you show it yourself during the live broadcast?" Gu Jiandong snorted, "Don't think anyone is out to harm you."

"Bad people don't write the word 'bad' on their foreheads." Shi Nianzhen looked at him deeply and led the way out of the shopping mall.

Gu Jiandong narrowed his eyes in anger.

The bad relationship between father and daughter is no longer concealed.

"Hey, Miss Shi, please wait a minute, the helicopter is still under repair..." Chen Hong chased her out of the shopping mall.

Bei Mian followed lazily with his hands folded.

There are nine bases in the entire eastern Guangdong.

Yuesan is just one of them, but its advantage over other bases is that it is built around the wealthy area of ​​Chenxiang Peninsula.

The people who lived here were either wealthy or noble. As long as they hadn't turned into zombies, everyone had property in the city. With the material support of these wealthy people, the Guangdong Base was not short of supplies.

They only asked for help from the main base in the capital in order to conceal their abundant supplies and fear of being targeted.

Chen Hong was a real estate agent before the apocalypse. On the apocalypse day, he had drunk too much with a client the day before and had to take a day off. He slept at home for a day and missed the solar eclipse, so he didn't turn into a zombie.

Not long after the apocalypse began, he had awakened his psychic abilities. Now, under his eloquence and psychic control, the entire Guangdong Base followed his lead.

Even someone like Gu Jiandong, a veteran who has been in the business world for many years, under the influence of his daily mental power, believes that he is the one who can lead the base to live well in the apocalypse.

The walls of Guangdong Base No. 3 are very high.

Shi Nianzhen sat in the helicopter, looking down at the wall below that he had to fly over.

There are two distinct views inside and outside the wall.

Outside the walls, zombies stalked back and forth, countless in number. The green belt, untended for months, had grown wildly in the mild southern climate. Combined with the apocalypse and winter, the plants withered, leaving the entire city in a state of withered desolation.

It was clearly the city center, but when the wind blew past, it felt like the wilderness.

Inside the wall, it is neat and clean.

Shi Nianzhen saw garbage trucks and sprinkler trucks running on the road. The streets were clean and tidy, and people were traveling like before the end of the world. Looking from a distance, he could even see a few green spots on the streets.

Is it a mutant plant?

Shi Nianzhen squinted and looked carefully.

But the distance was too far and the treasure appraiser had no response.

Shi Nianzhen took note of the location and planned to check it out in the evening.

The helicopter landed outside the highest villa on Chenxiang Peninsula.

This is Chen Hong’s base commander’s residence.

There was a kapok tree in his yard, with bright red flowers blooming brilliantly.

Before Shi Nianzhen even got off the helicopter, the treasure appraiser gave a note:

(Congratulations, you've discovered a new species in the universe.)
(First-level evolutionary Kapok, a deciduous tree, has large, edible flowers that contain special energy and are highly valuable.)
(Acquisition recommended.)
"Miss Shi and Miss Bei, why don't you stay here and let me treat you well?" Chen Hong invited warmly.

Shi Nianzhen stared at the towering kapok tree and nodded.

Very well, the tree is hers.

When Bei Mian saw her staring at the tree intently, he knew what she was thinking and nodded in agreement.

"This flower is really nice." Shi Nianzhen said.

Chen Hong becomes proud when talking about this flower.

In the entire base, only his yard has a living plant. That's why he originally believed that this place has good feng shui and is a treasure land.

"If Miss Shi likes it, how about I give you one?" Chen Hong said generously.
