Apocalypse: I became rich by selling zombie live broadcasts

Chapter 23 Found Them

In the old neighborhood.

Amidst the zombies' welcome, Shi Nianzhen arrived at the third floor where his assistant lived.

The corridor was covered in blood.

There were three zombies wandering around. When they heard Shi Nian Zhen's movement, they surrounded him.

Shi Nianzhen took out his gun and aimed, thought for a moment, then put it back and stared at the nearest zombie.

puff~
The zombie's neck split open, its head soaring into the air. Its body collapsed to the ground with a thud as the power created by Shi Nian Zhen vanished.

Shi Nianzhen curled her lips.

Expressed satisfaction with this separate action.

The gravitational ability was more useful than she had imagined. She only needed to build force in two directions on the zombies and could easily tear them apart.

Faster than a gun.

The sword fight is silent.

Just one thought.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar, Shi Nianzhen separated the remaining two and put them into the warehouse.

The assistant's house is at the end of the corridor.

Shi Nianzhen noticed that there was no garbage, no dead bodies, and no killed zombies at the door.

It's so clean that it looks like no one has lived there since the end of the world.

If the group that went to her house was led by the assistant, there was no reason not to kill the zombies in the old neighborhood.

If it wasn't the assistant who stole the notes, who was it?
Is the assistant still alive?
Shi Nianzhen was full of doubts and rang the doorbell.

ding dong~

ding dong~

ding dong~

There was no movement in the room.

"Sister Yangyang, are you there?" she called out.

Shi Nianzhen put her ears to the door and listened. The zombies next door roared when they heard her voice, but there was no movement from the assistant's house.

She stared at the iron gate, frowning slightly.

On August 15th, she celebrated her birthday, and her assistant Zhang Yang stayed up all night with her. If she had rested the next day like herself, she would have missed the solar eclipse on August 16th.

Won't turn into a zombie.

In the end times, people will not go out on their own initiative unless they have no food.

Did the assistant go out to look for food, or was he always away?
Just go in and take a look.

Shi Nianzhen took two steps back and stared at the door in front of him. The iron door was twisted and deformed by the spiral force, shrinking into a vortex-shaped steel plate.

The door lock naturally broke.

Shi Nianzhen pushed the door open through the air, wrapped in a force field that repelled the surroundings, and walked in.

The small, two-bedroom, one-living-room house wasn't bright. Even if the sun was strong outside, the blue window glass would block most of the light.

The decorative combination of wooden door panels, floral wallpaper and European plaster strips was a popular style in the 1990s.

It's very old-fashioned nowadays.

Shi Nianzhen checked the entire house, but couldn't find the assistant, nor any trace of her having lived here since the end of the world.

The dust on the coffee table is very thick, and it leaves a mark when you touch it.

The musty smell in the air and the noodles and eggs in the kitchen all tell us that the owner has not lived here since the end of the world.

But on the TV cabinet, Shi Nianzhen saw her Apple phone.

In other words, the assistant returned home on August 16 and left again.

Furthermore, when the assistant left home, he planned to return before the evening of the 16th.

Because on August 16, when the assistant left Shi Nianzhen's house, they had agreed that the assistant would deliver her cell phone to her in the evening.

The assistant is a punctual person. If she doesn't plan to go home, she will definitely bring Shi Nianzhen's cell phone with her and send it to her when the time comes.

Shi Nianzhen pressed the phone.

Unable to wake up.

I pressed the power button, but the phone didn't respond.

Maybe the power is out.

After putting the Apple phone into the portable apartment to charge, Shi Nianzhen stood in the living room of her assistant's house, at a loss.

This was totally beyond her expectations.

She guessed that the person who led the people to steal the notes might be an assistant, or might not be an assistant.

I even guessed that the assistant had turned into a zombie and that she had to go into the house to kill her relatives for the greater good. I just didn't think that she had left home on August 16 and never returned.

Did the assistant meet with an accident?
"Why did she go out?" Shi Nianzhen narrowed his eyes and thought.

“Eating, shopping, there are so many possibilities.”

"What kind of accident would delay her for half a day and prevent her from returning?"

Shi Nianzhen's imagination was greatly stimulated, and he began to speculate:
"The solar eclipse caused a pileup, and she was hit by a car while out?"

"Solar eclipse, didn't see the road clearly, and got into trouble with someone?"

"After a solar eclipse, how long does it take to turn into a zombie?"

Shi Nianzhen suddenly realized.

She doesn't know the exact time when the zombies will appear!
On the 16th, she was hungover and spent the whole day in bed in a daze, not paying any attention to what was happening on the street.

On the morning of the 17th, I couldn't wait for my assistant and couldn't order takeout, so I wanted to go out, only to find that the streets were full of zombies.

What if zombies appear on the 16th?

Shi Nianzhen frowned.

If the assistant went out on the 16th, was caught in the solar eclipse, turned into a zombie, and couldn't go home, it would make sense.

Unless, she went out early on the 16th and was already indoors when the solar eclipse came, and then zombies appeared on the street, so she had to hide nearby and could not go home to get the phone and give it to her.

This is also very reasonable.

But no matter what the situation is, going to her house to steal the notes is not an inevitable move to survive in the apocalypse.

If Zhang Yang has such a powerful helper who can come and go freely in the apocalypse, why doesn't he come back home?
Shi Nianzhen looked at the photo frame on the TV cabinet, which contained a photo of a kind old lady.

This is the assistant's most treasured photo of his grandmother, which he always carries with him even when he is on a business trip.

Assistant Zhang Yang's suspicion has been reduced.

Shi Nianzhen pursed her lips.

Feeling a little heavy
She didn't care if other people turned into zombies, died, or were in trouble.

People die all the time.

She had that day herself.

But Zhang Yang has been with her for many years and was the assistant chosen by her mother personally when she was alive.

In the years since her mother passed away, Zhang Yang has indeed been reliable and has taken good care of her like an older sister.

Shi Nianzhen sighed deeply.

But even though she thought the red notebook couldn't be here, she still searched the house. Only when she didn't find it did she give up and leave.

He also took away the assistant's grandmother's photo frame.

As soon as I went downstairs and got in the car, Penelope reminded me: "The drone sent a report."

"explain."

Shi Nianzhen put his hands on the steering wheel and reversed out of the old neighborhood, running over a lot of zombies and throwing them into the warehouse.

"It found those people, in the old shopping center."

"Are they looking for supplies?" Shi Nianzhen said coldly, "Keep an eye on them. I'll be there soon."

Shi Nianzhen took the steering wheel and drove the car onto the main road, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and rushed towards the shopping mall.

After a while, the drone sent a new report:
"They left the mall and the drones continued to follow them."

Shi Nianzhen stepped on the accelerator and said, "Pepe, can we share our location?"

"Yes, I will guide you soon."

A map appeared on the phone screen. Shi Nianzhen took a quick look and found that the direction those people were heading was very familiar.

"Are they going to Zhou Qing's house?" Shi Nianzhen frowned.

Did Zhou Qing come back from the dead to cause trouble for her?

"Calm down, calm down. The dead cannot be resurrected."

Not to mention that Zhou Qing had already been sold to another world by her.

Is it Zhou Qing’s family who wants to avenge him?

Not right either.

She had emptied Zhou Qing's house. How could she not know whether there were cameras in the living room and whether the counterattack that day would be seen by others?

Besides, if Zhou Qing’s relatives came to seek revenge, they should have killed her instead of stealing the notes.

Who is it?

You know about her precious notes and her relationship with Zhou Qing?

It must be an acquaintance!
