Apocalypse: I became rich by selling zombie live broadcasts

Chapter 28 It’s Freedom
Shi Nianzhen put away her smile, looked at him for a long time, and whispered, "Brother, I'm worried about you."

"When I think about how you relied on others for protection on the way to find me, and if you were left alone, you'd get bitten by zombies or robbed, I get scared."

"You understand this feeling, right?" Shi Nianzhen looked at him without blinking.

“…” Zhang Xixi pursed her lips, looking helpless.

"Of course you can refuse to exercise and hide in space forever, but you can't die due to lack of protection when you want to come out."

"Then I will never forgive you." Shi Nianzhen said.

"When I go down to see my mother a hundred years later, I will tell her that you broke your promise and died young. You didn't take care of me like you took care of my sister for the rest of my life."

"..." Zhang Xixi rubbed his face and sighed, "Okay, I get it."

"I'm really scared of you."

The closer you get to Shenhai, the more zombies there are on the roadside.

The lead car would occasionally poke its head out and use its gun to deal with the zombies blocking the road. Unlike Shi Nianzhen who was really bold in driving and knocking down the zombies, they were very concerned about the car.

Finally, Huo Xing found a gas station to stop for a final rest before entering Shenhai City.

After filling up all the cars with gas, they began to find ways to drain the gas from the gas station.

While Huo Xing was directing his teammates to pump gasoline, Shi Nianzhen demonstrated to Zhang Xixi several ways to use his supernatural powers.

She and Penelope had discussed these things and figured out how to use spatial abilities.

Shi Nianzhen stood there, and Zhang Xixi couldn't get close to her from any angle, as if there was a transparent wall blocking him.

"Is this the air wall you used on me in the car?" Zhang Xixi asked.

Shi Nianzhen had a smile on his face.

In fact, she just built a force field with herself as the center, which repelled the surroundings.

She had used this trick on the zombies when she went to the old neighborhood to find an assistant.

"I call it keeping distance."

Shi Nianzhen paraphrased, using words that a person with spatial abilities could understand, "The idea is probably the opposite of your idea of ​​embracing everything. Block the space around you, so no one can get close. Everyone should keep a safe distance."

Zhang Xixi laughed: "This is the skill that social anxiety needs most."

Shi Nianzhen said, "I think you should be able to use this."

"Well, I'll try."

Zhang Xixi stood two meters away from her, was silent for a while, and said to her: "Okay, come over and take a look."

Shi Nianzhen raised her hand and slowly approached him, but she didn't encounter any obstacles until she touched Zhang Xixi.

"Failed?" Zhang Xixi frowned and looked at the air around him. "But why do I feel like it was successful?"

Shi Nianzhen tilted his head and thought for a while, then turned around and went to the side of the road to pull out some foxtail grass and pick up a few small stones.

"Brother, try to protect yourself against these things." She said and threw them towards Zhang Xixi.

The dogtail grass scattered like flowers from heaven, and disappeared three meters away from Zhang Xixi. When it reappeared, it had crossed a distance of six meters and appeared behind Zhang Xixi. It still maintained the potential energy of Shi Nianzhen's throwing it out, and floated for a while before landing.

It was as if the space around Zhang Xixi no longer existed for Dogtail Grass.

"Wow~"

Shi Nianzhen then threw another small stone over, and the small stone also passed straight through the space around Zhang Xixi and fell to the ground on the other side.

"Brother, you succeeded!" Shi Nianzhen gave warm applause.

Zhang Xixi looked at the grass and stones behind him with joy, "It's not that difficult. I just don't allow them to exist in the space around me."

Over there, Huo Xing walked over after hearing Shi Nianzhen's cheers and Zhang Xixi's laughter.

"What are you playing?" Huo Xing asked.

Shi Nianzhen glanced at him and said to Zhang Xixi, "Brother, try it."

"Okay!" Zhang Xixi stared at Huo Xing.

Huo Xing stood four meters away and took a step. When his foot landed, he was on the other side of Zhang Xixi, a full eight meters away from his previous position, as if he had teleported.

Huo Xing shuddered and immediately turned around, looking at Zhang Xixi in surprise, "Have you awakened a new ability?"

"No, it just has one more use." Zhang Xixi smiled with her eyes curved.

Huo Xing, who had been stern all morning, also smiled.

"No, there are two!" Shi Nian said happily, "Did that one just now look like teleportation?"

Zhang Xixi was stunned.

He didn't expect that he would accidentally develop such an awesome use for it.

Teleport~
Isn't this Flash?

Skills that only exist in online games!
Zhang Xixi laughed out loud and said to Shi Nianzhen, "Brother, you're a genius, right?"

"Yes!" Shi Nianzhen immediately gave a thumbs up, "And it's a method I've never been able to use."

Zhang Xixi stroked her hair proudly.

"..." Huo Xing pursed his lips and said, "Try to switch our positions instantly."

Zhang Xixi stared at Huo Xing.

A minute passed and both of them stood there quietly.

Zhang Xixi's brows gradually furrowed.

Two minutes passed and the two were still staring at each other, their positions not changing at all.

"..." The smile on Huo Xing's face disappeared.

Three minutes later.

Zhang Xixi gave up, spread his hands and said, "I can't do this."

"Why?" Huo Xing asked.

"I don't understand," Zhang Xixi wondered. "How can I express this using space when someone disappears from one location and reappears in another?"

Huo Xing frowned: "But didn't you just ask me to teleport?"

"It's different. I just didn't let you get close to me," Zhang Xixi said. "So it seems that you passed through the space I marked as a restricted area, but in fact you directly arrived at the next space you were supposed to reach."

Shi Nianzhen said thoughtfully: "Brother, I have an idea."

"You said."

"You two should take a step forward at the same time, and set your final landing point to where you are standing now. Perhaps you can do it."

Zhang Xixi nodded and said, "You can try."

The two took steps at the same time, and the next second, they switched positions, standing back to back three meters apart.

"Success!" Zhang Xixi said happily.

Huo Xing was a little depressed.

What he proposed, Zhang Xixi couldn't do it, so he had to interpret it with Shi Nianzhen, right?
"Brother, no one can catch you now," Shi Nianzhen said, "Your safety has been greatly improved."

Zhang Xixi was also happy.

Before, when Shi Nianzhen asked him to fight, he was scared. Now, with the restricted area and teleportation, he can prevent bad guys from getting close to him.

It can be said that he has his own safe zone.

"By the way, can your restricted area only defend one by one, or can it defend in all directions?" Shi Nianzhen asked again.

Zhang Xixi tilted her head and felt it. "I've set up a restricted area around me. Nothing is allowed to enter."

Shi Nianzhen's eyes lit up. "Great! Then you can stand and shoot. You can just stand there with a gun. Others can't hit you, but you can hit others."

"You can even pin them down and shoot at fixed targets!" Shi Nianzhen said. "That's great, I like it!" Zhang Xixi immediately pulled out a gun and looked at the zombies in the distance, eager to try. "Let's go and give it a try?"

Shi Nianzhen is happy to accompany you.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xixi put away the shotgun with reluctance.

The area within three meters around him was extremely clean, without even a drop of blood spilled, but beyond three meters, there were zombies riddled with bullet holes.

"It turns out that fighting is so simple," he said.

He couldn't hit the zombies with his pistol just now, but after changing to a gun, he could spray down a group of zombies without much aiming.

Huo Xing looked at him with a complicated expression, "It's so easy for people with special abilities to kill zombies."

He also understood why He Nianzhen's body was so clean.

This can't be dirty.

"I can leave with peace of mind now." Shi Nianzhen said happily.

"Let's go?" Zhang Xixi's smile froze and she turned her head sharply. "Where are you going?"

He came out this time just to find Shi Nianzhen, and just after he found her, she said she wanted to leave?

Zhang Xixi's joy at learning a new skill immediately disappeared.

Huo Xing's eyes lit up and he looked over.

"Don't worry," Shi Nianzhen pulled Zhang Xixi aside and whispered to him, "Brother, I'll enter Shenhai later and want to go to the city center."

"Why? There is no material we need in the containers at the port. It would be so dangerous if they were separated?" Zhang Xixi didn't understand, and her brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

"Who said it's unsafe? I'm as safe as you are." Shi Nianzhen looked straight at him.

Zhang Xixi thought about the skills she had just learned.

Of course he knew how safe it was. It was as safe as taking a walk in the back garden when entering and exiting a swarm of zombies.

"..." Zhang Xixi couldn't say anything to object. She stared at her and thought for a while, then sighed, "Okay, why do you want to go to the city center?"

"I actually want to go to the bank's safe." Shi Nianzhen said meaningfully.

When it comes to material things, she wants something of real value.

Gold, silver and jewelry can be directly exchanged for Abyss Coins at the Abyss Bank. The exchange rate is higher than that of Blue Star currency and is also higher in value than various materials on Blue Star.

As for food, her goal changed after she learned that there were mutant plants on Blue Star.

The food from the past era has too low energy for people with special abilities, so she has to find mutated food for herself, such as the mutated rice that Zhang Xixi found.

Before the mutant food matures, she only needs to go to a few supermarkets in the city center.

As for clothes, daily necessities and means of transportation.

Compared to opening blind boxes at the port, going to the shopping mall in the city center to buy big brands has better quality assurance.

Zhang Xixi didn't expect that her target was actually the major banks in the city center. What were stored in the safes there? Gold, silver and jewelry!
"Those things are valuable, but they can't be eaten, drunk, or worn." Zhang Xixi said, "It's the end of the world, so we should be more practical."

"I don't have much space anyway, so the shopping malls and supermarkets in the city center are enough for me to fit in."

Shi Nianzhen saw that the resistance on Zhang Xixi's face was not so firm anymore, so she smiled and patted his shoulder, "Brother, I will bring back those big-name trendy men's clothing for you, as well as the big-name skincare products."

There is no star who doesn’t love beauty, especially idols who make a living by their looks.

It's almost instinctive.

Zhang Xixi sighed.

Damn it, he was convinced again.

"Alright, but this time you have to promise to keep in touch with me. If you can't get through on the phone or don't reply to my messages like before, I'll catch you and lock you up in this dimension for life!"

Shi Nianzhen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

After settling with Zhang Xixi and agreeing on a meeting time and place, Shi Nianzhen set off immediately.

After regaining her freedom, she stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and disappeared at the end of the road in the blink of an eye, leaving Zhang Xixi with a puff of exhaust fumes.

"Oh, my child has grown up." Zhang Xixi suddenly felt like an old father watching his daughter leave home.

"..." Huo Xing looked at him with a smile on his face.

In the car, Shi Nian Zhenyi couldn't see the gas station in the rearview mirror, and even called Penelope.

"Hurry, hurry, start the live broadcast." Shi Nianzhen shouted.

She had originally agreed with the audience in the live broadcast room to go online to sell zombies the day before yesterday, but she overslept because of her awakened superpowers the day before yesterday, and was busy looking for notes yesterday. Today she finally managed to avoid Zhang Xixi and was able to go live, so she had to hurry.

As soon as the live broadcast started, the barrage of comments immediately passed by in front of my eyes.

【Wow, Zhenzhen, you are finally here. 】

[The days without you are so hard~]

[I missed you so much, I thought you had an accident.]

"Everyone, good morning, noon, and evening," Shi Nian recited the lines expertly. "There was indeed an accident a couple of days ago. As soon as we found the opportunity today, we started the live broadcast right away, didn't we?"

What happened?

【Are you in danger? 】

[Wuwuwu~ Is he secretly injured and healing somewhere we can't see? 】

[When I think about Zhenzhen getting hurt or even dying in the apocalypse, I wish I could travel through time and space to protect her!]

Is this personal protection serious?

"I'm not injured. My brother came to see me. He doesn't know I'm a live streamer, and I don't plan to let him know for now. I may not be live streaming every day in the future."

Shi Nianzhen explained it simply.

There was a cry in the barrage.

"By the way, I saved up some zombies the past two days. I'll put up a link for the auction first. When the show is almost over, I'll put up another link with the ones I killed today."

The zombies she had gathered over the past two days were mainly those that were killed on the road and that she had secretly stored in the warehouse. There were quite a few of them, weighing over ten thousand pounds.

"Today I have left the city I was in a few days ago to show you one of the most prosperous cities in our world."

【Wow, looking forward to it.】

[I heard that the apocalypse only happens on some backward planets. How prosperous can it be?]

[Really, it's better not to raise everyone's expectations, lest some people, if they aren't shocked, start saying bad things later.]

[Tsk, where does all this nonsense come from? If it's really prosperous, then it is prosperous.]

Shi Nianzhen ignored them. She was busy looking at the fields outside the car window and had already narrowed the range of the barrage to the top of her field of vision to avoid blocking the small firefly characters on the treasure appraisal.

When she came out, she wanted to use her supernatural powers freely to find mutated crops in a place far away from Zhang Xixi.

Judging from the effects of maintaining distance and presenting in restricted areas, there is still a big difference between gravitational power and spatial power. The more you use it, the more flaws you will find.

The crops outside were so dazzling that Shi Nianzhen didn't even dare to blink too much, for fear of missing out.

"Congratulations, you have received a starship reward from the Lord of the Abyss." Penelope suddenly reminded.

“Get ten minutes of front-page exposure, starting now.”

"Thank you for the reward, Lord of the Abyss."

Shi Nianzhen said mechanically, quickly glancing at the phone screen and seeing the words behind the starship:
What are you looking for?

On the screen, Shi Nianzhen was always looking out the car window. Even the zombies were killed by drones and mechanical dogs working together.

"Mutated plants."

Shi Nianzhen said: "My brother brought new news. We have mutant plants here."
