Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chuzheng didn’t want to get involved in this matter, but she didn’t stop them from discussing it either. Cheng Zuo was a person with a strong sense of justice, and when he heard about it, he couldn’t sit still.

Ji Lin didn’t have that strong sense of justice, he just felt that if things really turned out that way in the future, their lives wouldn’t be easy.

So the two of them hit it off.

Chuzheng watched them fuss around with a cold eye, neither intending to intervene nor to stop them.

One morning, Chuzheng just threw a card to Ji Lin.

It was a pass card for Zone 1.

Ji Lin smiled and gave Chuzheng a kiss on the cheek, "Thanks."

"Mm." Chuzheng responded unceremoniously, then grabbed a baby bottle and walked toward Lele, who was crawling all over the floor.

After Ji Lin and Cheng Zuo left, Jiang Rushuang appeared, "Xiao Chu, are you really dating Ji Lin?"

"Isn’t it obvious?"

"...No, it just seems a bit unbelievable," Jiang Rushuang scratched her head.

"Why unbelievable?"

"Can’t say, just feels quite magical," Jiang Rushuang said, "Feels like you’re not the type to casually like someone..."

"I don’t casually like people."

He’s a Good Person Card, how could it be a casual liking?

-

Ji Lin and Cheng Zuo must have done something, because soon after, the base introduced a regulation requiring people to leave the base, and if there were casualties, the bodies couldn’t be left behind.

So the zombies were frustrated, seeing that just after scratching someone to death, before they could take a bite, the other party would cast a long-range ’spell,’ and the food was gone in an instant.

The zombies were so angry they howled.

And the scientific team at the base, quickly following Professor Gan’s ideas and the clues provided by Ji Lin, developed a vaccine that ordinary people could inject.

After getting the vaccine, even if bitten by zombies, there was no worry of turning into one.

The base started publicly recruiting special ability users to donate blood, as antibodies were extracted from their blood.

At first, the special ability users were hesitant, but as the benefits for donating blood increased, some who didn’t have very strong abilities went to donate blood first.

The first batch of vaccines was soon put into use.

Among ordinary people, those who had relatives with special abilities saw that the vaccine was truly effective and not some conspiracy, leading the special ability users to go one after another.

The vaccination started with children, women, and those who needed to leave the base for missions. The rest had to wait.

After being vaccinated and knowing that being bitten or scratched wouldn’t turn them into zombies, gradually, more people started venturing out.

The base sent out different teams to distribute the vaccine formula and products to major bases across the country.

The base continuously broadcasted on the radio, urging the survivors to go to nearby bases for vaccination.

For a while, it seemed like humanity saw hope.

But the zombies got even angrier.

They had no food and couldn’t even convert new companions.

Zombies: "..." Can you still let zombies survive or not!

-

Chuzheng was going to the mission hall to squander when she saw a mission on the display screen about eliminating zombies in City Y.

"What’s up with this mission?" Chuzheng asked her personal receptionist.

The receptionist explained very politely, "Someone discovered that the zombies in City Y are acting strange, as if they are organized. Because it’s too close to our base, the base held a meeting and decided to organize a sweep of City Y to prevent the zombies from attacking the base."

"Preemptive strike?"

"Uh...that’s one way to look at it, after all, the base is so big and full of survivors."

If the zombies really laid siege to the city, everything would be over.

Now they not only had to avoid zombies but also take initiative to eliminate them.

The fewer zombies, the greater the chances of human survival, so now many of the base’s missions are focused on clearing zombies.

Currently, the sweep mission in City Y was offering generous rewards, and many people signed up.

"Are you interested?" the receptionist asked Chuzheng cautiously.

"Not interested." Why should she get involved in these matters, did she not squander enough, or wasn’t there enough for her to manage with all those Good Person Cards?

The operation to clear City Y proceeded vigorously, and after registration closed, a grand convoy set out.

Ji Lin leaned against Chuzheng, holding a bag of snacks, "Aren’t you going to have a look?"

"What’s there to see?"

True, even if she went to see, it wouldn’t make any difference as she wouldn’t take action.

Ji Lin put down the snacks and took out an envelope for her, "A thank-you letter from the base commander, thanking you for your contribution."

Chuzheng: "??"

What contribution did I make?

And just a letter for thanks?

...Sending a letter is fine, too.

Chuzheng accepted the letter, glanced at Ji Lin munching on snacks, "Are you very hungry?"

"Not really."

"Then why are you eating constantly?" Are you a pig? Why don’t you gain any weight!

"Just feel like eating." Ji Lin raised an eyebrow slightly, revealing a beautiful smile, "Isn’t this little hobby okay?"

Chuzheng expressionlessly handed him several bags of snacks, "As long as you’re happy."

Chuzheng planned to go inside, but Ji Lin pulled her back, "I want to go south."

"Hmm?"

"I heard Jiang Rushuang’s family is in the south," Ji Lin said, "she’s very worried about her family."

Jiang Rushuang indeed sometimes zoned out, but she hadn’t said anything specifically.

But...

Since when had Ji Lin been so concerned about Jiang Rushuang?

Chuzheng quickly realized that Ji Lin had said before that his family was at the Southern Base, using Jiang Rushuang as a shield.

"Okay," Chuzheng said, "get ready and then head out."

"You could actually stay at the base, it’s very safe here..."

Chuzheng spoke seriously, "Wherever you go, I go."

Ji Lin was somewhat moved by her words, but before he could fully relish in the sentiment, the girl fiercely added, "Don’t you dare run away!"

Wasn’t he well-behaved throughout?

When did he ever think about running away?

-

Cheng Zuo didn’t go with them; it was still the original team, driving Ji Lin’s treasured car to depart.

The base commander was a bit regretful about Chuzheng’s departure.

After all, Chuzheng single-handedly boosted the base’s crystal core GDP growth, any mission she issued basically amounted to free crystal cores.

How could the commander not feel regretful...

Before leaving, the base commander received news that some survivor had seen a team sent to deliver vaccines to the Southern Base completely wiped out, prompting the commander to send people to catch up with them and have them carry the vaccines.

Chuzheng: "..." I’m leaving, and you still won’t let me go!!

While passing through City Y, Ji Lin stopped to watch the commotion for a while, humans had set up a big base outside, determined to take down City Y.

"Where did my girlfriend go?" Ji Lin returned after answering nature’s call, only to find the person gone from the vehicle.

Jiang Rushuang shook her head and handed Ji Lin a map, "Xiao Chu said we should leave first and meet at the intersection ahead."

Ji Lin: "..."

What was his role as a boyfriend intended for after all?!

Ji Lin didn’t know where Chuzheng went, nor did he know where to chase after her, so he could only follow the map and meet where Chuzheng had marked.

He waited a whole day, and Chuzheng, not knowing where she got a motorcycle, zoomed back at night, skidding to a halt right next to the SUV.
