The Last 299 Days of Humanity

Chapter 46 Jianghu rescues

Yu Qing and his companions wandered around, trying to collect as much information and data about the world as possible.

However, Yu Qing tried to chat with the bosses along the way and found that it was impossible to get the latest news about the earth from them.

It's not that they're deliberately avoiding the issue, but rather that the world's shared interests and concerns have become completely fragmented, and society has entered a phase of extreme individualism. Nobody cares about others; everyone goes about their own business and finds enjoyment in their own way.

Five hundred miles away, even if the sky were to fall, it wouldn't be news to the people of Changlin; they wouldn't care at all.

On the other hand, if one's own interests are slightly affected, or if one's views are not accepted by others, one will regard the other party as an irreconcilable enemy.

The people in charge of Changlin should be considered geniuses. They managed to recruit all sorts of people from all over the world with different ambitions to their city and keep them peaceful during the day.

Yu Qing even had a thought: he wanted to meet them and see if they could be considered his own kind.

Thinking about this, Yu Qing felt a vague sense of unease. He was worried about his future.

He didn't know what identity and attitude he should adopt to survive in such a complex world.

Even if you enter the second paradise, can you still live a life isolated from the world?
He is now merely surviving by squandering the wealth of his ancestors, enjoying the fruits of human scientific development without any return, and of course, he also faces the unavoidable nameless calamities.

In his view, both he and the people he would encounter in the Second Paradise were facing the danger of extinction.

"What are you thinking about, my husband?" Yao Dan asked, noticing Yu Qing's thoughtful expression.

"Just overthinking. By the way, you still can't exchange information with other humanoid beauties?"

"No. We can't even understand each other's telegrams. Products from the same company, five years old and five years later, are incompatible. This forces people to quickly replace their old products so they can buy new ones."

"Then it shouldn't be too difficult to find out about our next route point... something called Four Locust Trees, right?"

“Not difficult? We followed your instructions and inquired whenever we had the chance, but someone told me that only the people of the four locust trees know the situation there, and no one else knows.”

"That's strange. Could it be that they have the opposite policy over there, a policy of isolationism?"

"No, it's said that people who come back from there will forget all their memories of the four locust trees."

"This sounds really interesting. Could there be some unspeakable secret there?"

"I have no idea. Anyway, there are a lot of secrets in the places we've been to. Who cares, as long as I don't hurt you."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "If I don't uncover those secrets, even if it doesn't harm my body, it will still hurt my heart."

Chang'e suddenly nudged Yu Qing with her shoulder and said, "I'm afraid there's something even more hurtful to you..."

Yu Qing asked, "What do you mean? Which old, dark-skinned man have you taken a fancy to and want to run off with him?"

Yao Dan also gasped and said, "Your husband's former lover looks so pitiful."

Only then did Yu Qing notice that Yu Zhu, dressed in rags, was standing in front of a shop, begging someone to buy something from her. Beside her stood a lewd-looking turtle man.

Yu Qing was taken aback. How could she have gotten into this state in just one or two days?

He wondered if she had been implicated for helping him escape. This made him feel somewhat guilty.

He hurried over and said, "Hi, Yuzhu, I'm so glad to see you here!"

Upon seeing it was him, Yuzhu put her things away and turned to leave.

Yu Qing hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Don't go! How did things get like this? Did I get you involved?" At this moment, the sleazy turtle man ran over and said, "It's you! What do you want? Let me tell you, you can't fight here during the day!"

Yu Qing said, "I didn't mean anything by it. I just noticed that you seem to be facing some difficulties, and I wanted to ask if there's anything I can do to help you."

The turtle man said, "We're out of money, can you help us?"

"I can help, but I can only give it to Yuzhu."

At this moment, Yuzhu shouted at the turtle man, "Get out of here! What are you doing, begging like that..."

The turtle man quickly grabbed Yuzhu and said, "Don't be stubborn, we won't survive tonight if we don't eat our fill! Let him give us some money."

Seeing that Yuzhu was embarrassed, Yuqing quickly pulled Daji over and said, "Transfer ten million RMB to Yuzhu."

Daji said, "My dear, are you sure it's ten million RB?"

Yu Qing said, "I'm sure, you can transfer it."

Daji said, "You need to sign this."

Yu Qing gently kissed Daji and said, "Spin."

Daji pulled Yuzhu over and kissed her, asking, "Did you receive it?"

Just then, the jade bead's ring clicked. The turtle-man, beaming with joy, exclaimed, "Received it! Received it!"

Yuzhu said in an extremely soft voice, "Thank you. I will... again..."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "Don't bother returning it. I don't need you to repay me with your body. Besides, that Prince Charming next to you is too good to pass up. I don't have the guts to compete with him."

The turtle-man arrogantly raised his head, grabbed Yuzhu, and prepared to leave.

Yu Qing said, "Wait a moment, I have something to tell you. Yesterday I saw your brother fighting with the Eagle Man on the hotel screen, and he was probably badly injured."

Yuzhu hurriedly asked, "Really? Where was he fighting?"

"I really don't know that, I only know it's a street with houses with pointed roofs."

Upon hearing this, Yuzhu bowed to him, then grabbed the turtle man and swayed away.

Seeing her clumsy gait, Yao Dan laughed and said, "Husband, you're so generous! Giving a thousand to this person who can barely stand... well..."

Yu Qing scratched his head and said, "I acted impulsively. I meant to say I'd transfer 10,000 RB, but I ended up saying 10 million RB. Oh well, I can't go back on my word now."

Daji said, "What's the big deal? I'll go after them and get some back!"

"You want my foot. Yu Zhu might actually be able to pay you back a little, but who knows about that scoundrel next to her? Once he gets the money, he can't just swallow it back? I bet he'll slap you a few times if he doesn't."

Yan'er muttered, "Even our darling has never been this generous to us..."

Seeing that no one was around, Yu Qing whispered, "It seems you all have grievances against me. Since it's not convenient here, I'll give each of you 30 million RB tonight. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

Chang'e laughed and said, "My lord, at this rate, you'll soon become a penniless pauper."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "It's alright. As long as you all become rich women, I can live off your wives too."
