Apocalypse: I became rich by selling zombie live broadcasts

Chapter 61 Thank them for the trouble

Guangdong East No. 3 Base.

Aurora Bar.

Green, red, blue and yellow lights flickered in the dance floor, glasses were clinking in front of the bar, the DJ was swaying on the podium, and the melody, as powerful as a pile driver, overwhelmed the noisy voices, shaking everyone's body and mind together.

Men and women, wearing only a palm-sized piece of cloth on their bodies, danced seductively on the stage.

Here, let alone communicating, even shouting can’t be heard clearly if you’re just a few steps away from each other.

Shi Nianzhen squeezed closer to the bar counter to the rhythm of the drums, and imitated the person in front of him, taking out two packs of compressed biscuits and handing them over. He exchanged them for two glasses of draft beer, then turned and walked towards a booth on the side.

Bei Mian covered her ears and followed her, trying to block the evil music from penetrating her ears. This music, which was useless except for agitation, was a form of mental torture for her.

Squeezing into the booth next to him, Bei Mian sniffed the cold beer in front of him and looked up at Shi Nianzhen, "Are you really here?"

Amidst the powerful music, Shi Nianzhen could clearly distinguish her words. She nodded, frowned, and pressed her temple.

Her five senses are now far superior to those of humans, and the music and lights here cause her a lot of interference.

"How to find it?" Bei Mian asked.

"You stay here and take a break. I'll be back soon." Shi Nianzhen stuffed the shoulder bag he had been carrying on his back into her hands.

Bei Mian nodded.

Shi Nianzhen had wireless headphones in her ears. Amidst the deafening music, she followed Pepe's directions and squeezed through the snow-white arms and thighs of the people in the bar. She pushed down anyone who wanted to take advantage of her along the way.

Amidst shouts of "Ouch" and "Stop" from the audience, Shi Nianzhen walked through the dazzling lights, around the booths and a marble screen, and the deafening music suddenly became much quieter.

A spark flashed in the darkness ahead, and Shi Nianzhen suddenly stopped. He found two thugs squatting in the dark. One with yellow hair was lighting a cigarette with his head down, and the other with red hair was waving a baton boredly to the beat of the music.

Shi Nianzhen only gave a glance, and the baton in the red-haired man's hand hit the back of the yellow-haired man's neck, knocking him unconscious and then rebounding back, hitting the red-haired man's temple.

The two people fell silently to the ground. Shi Nianzhen looked around, slightly moved away from them, opened the small door that was integrated with the floor, and nimbly got in.

There was an iron staircase below, and Shi Nianzhen huddled up on the top two steps.

There was a sudden silence in my ears, and the music that came in when I opened the door just now seemed particularly loud.

It was noticed by the people downstairs.

Before the two men could draw their guns, Shi Nianzhen gave them a look, and they suddenly hit the ceiling and fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.

At the end of the corridor, there was a heavy iron door. Shi Nianzhen looked at the password input key next to it and directly threw the question to Penelope.

It only took two seconds for Penelope to crack the code.

The heavy door clanged open silently.

It was dark inside the door, with almost no light.

The smell of blood mixed with the turbid air hit me in the face, it was not very pleasant.

Shi Nianzhen took out the internet-famous flashlight that could make a rooster crow and shone it inside. Inside was a row of cells with iron bars.

When you walk in, you will see blood stains on both sides of the cells. Some people are hanging in the air, curled up in the corner, or lying on the ground. It is impossible to tell whether they are dead or alive.

Her arrival did not cause any commotion, only a few mutterings could be heard occasionally from the corner.

Shi Nianzhen leaned in closer to take a look. These people were all unconscious and had no reaction to her coming. Their pupils only contracted instinctively at the bright light.

All still alive.

Shi Nianzhen walked in while looking to both sides.

This underground dungeon is not big, with only about twenty cells in total, and each cell contains someone.

Shi Nianzhen walked to the end and stopped outside the last cell.

There's no one in this cell.

But Shi Nianzhen knew that Zhang Xixi was imprisoned here, and he must have hidden in the space.

Shi Nianzhen looked at the cage next door. It was very crowded, with people lying on the ground in all directions, and the smell of blood was very strong.

She looked all the way around and didn't see anyone wearing the same uniform as Huo Xing. It turned out that they were all locked up here.

It seems that Chen Hong tortured these people and threatened Zhang Xixi.

Now Zhang Xixi is hiding in his shell. Chen Hong has no way to get the supplies in his hands, nor can he continue to threaten him.

Under such circumstances, he decided to catch her after she had been live streaming for a whole morning. Chen Hong's character can be considered cautious.

The living standards in the three bases in eastern Guangdong still maintain the extravagant lifestyle of the rich before the apocalypse, which is completely unlike the apocalypse.

No matter how much supplies these people have stockpiled, they will not be able to sustain it for long if so many people squander it together.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Having enjoyed the luxury of the upper class, people like Chen Hong and Gu Jiandong don't want to live a life of hunger.

Zhang Xixi has gone to the space, can we still contact her?

Shi Nianzhen thought about how Zhang Xixi had hung up on her calls before and never replied to her text messages.

She was silent for a moment, then looked at Penelope, "Can I control Zhang Xixi's phone?"

"He's in his own territory, and I can't control him without the permission of the territory owner," said Penelope.

Shi Nianzhen thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Start the live broadcast and accurately push it to Zhang Xixi."

"Ok."

The live broadcast begins.

Shi Nianzhen faced the camera and spoke quickly: "Brother, can you recognize the environment around me? Come out of the space immediately, it's time to go."

Waited three seconds.

In the empty cage, a person appeared silently.

When Zhang Xixi saw Shi Nianzhen, she rushed to the edge of the cage with tears in her eyes, "Sister, you finally came to save me."

Shi Nianzhen looked disgusted and said, "Brother, you are a space ability user, and you are trapped in a cell like this. It's really shameful."

"Oh my God!" Zhang Xixi cried out in injustice. "That damn Chen Hong is a psychic! He's controlling me, and I can't even control my own body. How can I run?"

"I could hide in the space, but I still hardened my heart and watched them get beaten half to death without letting up. Chen Hong was tired and wanted to leave for lunch, so I finally had a chance to catch my breath."

Zhang Xixi was crying and snotting as she spoke.

"You can use your ability to go to space, so can't you take them away from here?" Shi Nianzhen was extremely surprised. She didn't think these broken railings and broken iron gates could stop someone with space abilities.

"But everyone outside is his, and I don't know the situation outside. If he catches up with me and controls me, then I'm really finished, right?"

"Then why didn't you call me when you went to the space?"

"I wanted to, but Chen Hong took my original phone, and I don't remember your number. If I hadn't put a backup phone in my space, hoping to see your live broadcast and ask for help, we wouldn't be able to contact each other."

Shi Nianzhen then realized that since she contacted Zhang Xixi in the morning, Zhang Xixi's phone was in Chen Hong's hands.

"Stop howling. Put them in your space first. We're leaving." Shi Nianzhen looked at the cage next door.

Zhang Xixi stopped talking nonsense and teleported to the next room, putting his teammates into the space.

After coming out of the cage, Zhang Xixi looked at the person imprisoned next to him and felt a sense of indignation out of sympathy.

"What about them? Why not just save them all? These are the stubborn ones who don't want to obey Chen Hong."

Shi Nian really didn't care, "Whatever you want."

Zhang Xixi went into the cages one by one and stuffed all the dying people into the space.

In his space, he is God, and he can control these people with just a thought.

Unlike Shi Nianzhen, who could enter and exit her portable home freely, she couldn't control the people inside. For Huo Xing, who was imprisoned inside, she used the sleeping prop she had bought at the mall—Dark Sweet Dream—to put him to sleep.

Zhang Xixi was saving people, and Shi Nianzhen glanced at the time.

Half an hour had passed since the dinner started, and since they hadn't come downstairs since changing clothes for so long, they were about to be exposed. "Master, Chen Hong noticed you were missing, and he went to check the surveillance!" Penelope said.

"Lead him somewhere else and delay him for a while." Shi Nianzhen said immediately.

"Yes."

It would take at least fifteen minutes to come from Chen Hong's house even if the road was smooth. Shi Nian really flew directly from the sky, which made it faster.

As long as you leave before Chen Hong comes, you don't have to worry about being controlled by him.

Shi Nianzhen walked to the iron gate and waited for Zhang Xixi.

"Brother, hurry up and put the shackles away. We can remove them later. Chen Hong has already noticed that I'm gone. He will be chasing after me soon."

"it is good!"

Zhang Xixi's ability requires direct contact to be released. He has to save people and remove the shackles, so there is a slight delay.

It took another three minutes to rescue all the prisoners. Zhang Xixi followed Shi Nianzhen out of the heavy door. As soon as they walked up the iron stairs, they received a call from Beimian.

"Hey, have you been discovered? A bunch of security guards with guns suddenly appeared in the bar and wanted to control everyone."

Bei Mian spoke very quickly, and Shi Nianzhen could hear that the scene on her side was very chaotic.

"It was Chen Hong who discovered we were missing," Shi Nianzhen said in a deep voice, "I'll be right out. Get ready, we'll leave immediately."

Zhang Xixi was extremely nervous. "Hurry up, hurry up. Once he comes, you won't be able to escape."

"Hold steady, don't panic. We still have at least ten minutes."

Shi Nianzhen pushed the secret door above his head.

The door didn't move.

"We're locked in."

Shi Nianzhen narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that the two yellow-haired men who were knocked down above had been discovered. Chen Hong would come over immediately. It would not only be useless for Penelope to use surveillance to lure him somewhere else, but it would also expose the fact that she had already mastered all the surveillance of the third base in eastern Guangdong.

Sure enough, the next second, Penelope's report came: "Master, Chen Hong is coming straight this way."

Shi Nianzhen's mind raced, and she immediately asked, "Can you control any drones, unmanned robots, unmanned cars, or even those trams?"

"can."

"Stop him and buy us some time."

"Yes."

Shi Nianzhen was actually not that panicked.

With Bei Mian around, and her own strong mental strength, she is unlikely to be controlled by Chen Hong.

I’m just worried that Chen Hong will be so shameless as to control Zhang Xixi.

"What should we do?" Zhang Xixi squeezed over anxiously and pushed the door hard.

The little door didn't move at all.

Shi Nianzhen guessed what the person above used to hold down the door.

Shi Nianzhen originally wanted to try to blast it open with his physical strength, but if that didn't work, he still had supernatural powers. But then he changed his mind and threw the question to Zhang Xixi: "Brother, can you make it break into pieces, or move it?"

Zhang Xixi thought about it and nodded, putting her hand on the door.

next moment.

The door moved from his right hand to his left hand, then fell freely down the stairs with a clang.

The bottom of something was exposed above, blocking the hole tightly.

Zhang Xixi got angry when she saw it.

No one can stop him from running towards freedom again and again!

This time, when Nian Zhen said that he didn't need to, he put his hand directly on it. No matter what was blocking it, it was all transferred to the dungeon.

It only took ten seconds to clear everything on top.

Crackling, gunshots came from all directions.

Zhang Xixi's head, which had just been stretched out, immediately retracted.

"Brother, why are you hiding? You are a space ability user, how can you be hit by bullets?" Shi Nianzhen said, jumping out and landing in the hail of bullets, changing the trajectory of all the bullets and making them return to the original path.

When Zhang Xixi came up, everyone outside was lying on the ground wailing.

"stop!"

A loud shout came from the sky, and at the same time, thorny vines came over like whips, hitting Shi Nianzhen's force field with a snap.

Zhang Xixi didn't hide this time. She looked over fiercely. The vines broke into pieces and fell to the ground, freezing the skinny mutant in place.

Shi Nianzhen took a quick look and walked around the marble screen.

In the bar.

Everyone squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

The security guards were checking everyone's appearance, and when they heard the noise, they raised their guns and started shooting.

Shi Nianzhen turned the bullet's trajectory again and knocked down all the security guards, shouting, "Beimian is gone."

"Hey, I'm coming!"

Behind the dead money tree, a person stood out from the shadows and chased after Shi Nianzhen. A stream of water gushed out, sweeping aside anyone who blocked their escape route.

The cleared roads were unobstructed.

The three rushed out of the bar.

After sneaking into the brightly lit bar street, Shi Nianzhen grabbed the two of them and rushed into the sky.

At this time, Chen Hong was still on his way.

Zhang Xixi laughed heartily and let out a long roar towards the sky, "That's so satisfying!"

Bei Mian chuckled beside him, "Are you happy just by escaping?"

They are all in the entertainment industry, especially Zhang Xixi as a singing and dancing idol and Bei Mian as a singer, they are in the same field and know each other.

Shi Nianzhen introduced the two of them to each other by name, which was considered an introduction.

"It's not quite enough, but I'm afraid if I stay any longer, I'll feel suffocated when I meet Chen Hong." Zhang Xixi told the truth.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?" Bei Mian glanced at him sideways and looked at Shi Nianzhen, "Are you really going to leave like this?"

"No, I want his kapok tree." Shi Nianzhen also said.

"I want the guqin on his wall." Bei Mian said.

"Ah?" Shi Nianzhen raised an eyebrow. "You mean the Jiaowei sword in the niche on the wall of his living room?"

"From what I've seen, it's very likely the real thing," Bei Mian said.

"It's the real deal."

As soon as Shi Nianzhen entered Chen Hong's house, she was reminded by the treasure appraiser, but she didn't like these things, and the evaluation given by the treasure appraiser was only slightly valuable, so she was not very interested.

"How do you know?" Bei Mian asked.

"It used to be the house of a very famous collector," said Shi Nianzhen.

"Oh~ how do you know? Did your family live here before?" Bei Mian asked.

Shi Nianzhen nodded and said slowly, "Speaking of which, I should go to the Gu family and thank them for all the trouble they have caused."

"Since neither of you wants it, I'll gladly accept the supplies from Guangdong East No. 3 Base." Zhang Xixi interrupted.
