CH 99

Jiang Nian decided to expand her golden career. Her claws began to reach several cities near Longfei Base. Anyway, wherever there was an important mission or a big task, she would run there and apply the fastest, carrying a big knife and carrying her wealth. And so, she was about to become the legend of Longfei Base for her selflessness, as all said with emotion that she was indeed worthy of being Mayor Jiang, always contributing to the future of mankind!

Not to mention other people’s opinion, even Jiang father and mother felt sorry for their daughter. Although they were very proud of her accomplishments, they were also very worried. Didn’t they know how dangerous outside was?

Jiang Nian’s heart , in contrast, was filled with joy and smugness. Look how great it was to wrap her corrupted heart with the greatness of the big gold, and even the reason for seeking riches so blatantly was given to her in a gold platter. This was the perfect example of “to get rich and be worshipped”. There was probably no one smarter and more scheming than her in this world!  (TN: hhh must be nice to be so oblivious)

This way, Jiang Nian preferred to go out on missions, hoarding her big gold diligently, and if possible, find a God of Wealth to bring back and give him offers, do more charity and good deeds, all to strive for good welfare for the next life.

But there was one thing Jiang Nian had not forgotten, and that is, the heroine halo was stuck at sixty points and she didn’t know when she would break through. This world is a world of doomsday revolving around female counterparts counterattack, so if she waited Yao Xiaoyue to counterattack her, she would break through 60 points, right? According to Jiang Nian’s previous experience, there was a 70-80% possibility that this speculation was wrong. After all, she did not succeed in her speculations even once (:з」∠).

So Jiang Nian didn’t bother to care about it. Now, let’s enjoy the present -the big gold in her hand, and then talk about other things.

Because Jiang Nian was so diligent in her tasks, she worked alongside Qin Yue several times. Qin Yue recently joined an organization led by the military to find a batch of medical equipment in City C. Now that the safe base had resumed her operation, there were millions of people needing food and water, so they couldn’t rely solely on the government to help, but they should also try to restore production.

Unfortunately, in just a few months, soil pollution had become very severe, not to mention the drastic changes in the environment and climate. The trees, flowers and plants were very lush, and some had mutated. Not only would they actively attack humans, but they also either produced some toxins that would make the tongue paralyzed, or released toxic gases, and some floral scents could also make people hallucinate…

The world was becoming more and more dangerous.

Botanists and eco-environmentalists were studying diligently, not daring to slack off in the slightest, not to mention Shen Ran, who had become the second-in-command of the future research institute. He was so busy that he couldn’t go out. He could no longer visit Jiang Nian whenever and wherever he wanted to like before, so he could only occasionally free a bit of time to have a meal or chat with here, but time was tight and the visits were short. It was said that the laboratory had failed thousands of times, Professor Yang mentioned that in order to turn zombies into humans again, it was necessary to develop an antidote to solve the zombie virus. Shen Ran has been following this direction, but recently his thoughts took a new turn. What he wanted to research was in a vaccine that could make everyone immune to the zombie virus.

Professor Yang was very disappointed, “Are those human beings who have become zombies willing to stay like that? Isn’t researching the vaccine simply giving up on them?”

Shen Ran replied: “I am selfish. My father, my brothers and sisters, and my family and friends are all fighting against zombies. My sister Jiang as well. I know the harm of the zombie virus better than anyone else. I worry about them being injured when fighting, I also have to worry that they’ll be affected and become zombies. I hope that they won’t worry about infection, and no one wants their companions to kill themselves because they are suspected of becoming zombies…”

And so, the research team split into two groups again, as Shen Ran formed another team alongside a few researchers who were willing to follow him and share his ideas. In the past six months, with his super-high IQ and super-powerful brain, he had been absorbing knowledge and expanding his studies madly, and he had been able to complete a research project independently long ago.

General Shen was very angry when he heard about this. With these two brain evolvers in their country, wouldn’t the strong combination of these two brain abilities be able to develop a better and faster method to fight against the zombie virus? Didn’t these separate studies slow down the pace? This research was the hope for the future! It was also the hope of people who were in dire straits! It’s just that General Shen couldn’t change Shen Ran’s thoughts even if he was angry and fuming.

Jiang Nian was quite understanding of Shen Ran’s decision. After all, no antidote that could completely solve the zombie virus had been discovered even after ten years. Then it was not impossible to study the vaccine and change the way of thinking. Maybe a better solution to the zombie virus could be found that way?

“… Sister Jiang, do you support me?”

“Of course I do, science has always dared to propose and dared to practice. There has never been a fixed idea and method. If you think you can do it, then do it.”

Shen Ran He lowered his head and hummed: “I see, thank you Sister Jiang .”

Jiang Nian patted his head. After the Chinese New Year, Shen Ran was actually only thirteen years old. The child was still studying carefree in school before, but now Shen Ran had already shouldered the hope of mankind.

Jiang Nian held his hand: “Let’s go home, let’s go home and eat fish. Cai Cai has caught several of them! Yesterday it even caught a little rabbit. It was just that it was too hurt by the rascal’s paws, so I couldn’t save it. You will have a good meal today. Maybe we will eat the last bunny in the whole world, and it’s a name will go down in history.”

Shen Ran immediately pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes bright, and he held Jiang Nian’s hand tightly: “Okay! Sister Jiang?”

“Yeah?”

He shook his head and didn’t speak, but he couldn’t help but laugh secretly.

The few ability users who followed Shen Ran to protect him were already stunned, but they couldn’t help but hold breath. Shen Ran usually treated them so coldly. But, facing Jiang Nian, he instantly became a soft and cute younger brother. This is a sister-con, and a terrible sister-con at that!

Shen Ran returned to the laboratory after dinner. Jiang Nian also went on mission with Captain Li the next day. This time they went to a place far away. In the city, first, they went to see if there were any survivors. In addition, they heard that there were a lot of industrial areas there. If it could be developed, then some disposable materials could be reproduced on a small scale.

However, they still encountered a lot of trouble. There were a lot of people in the factory. The zombies became more powerful after half a year in the apocalypse, so exterminating them would take a while. However, when the Li team decided to retreat temporarily, and sent a speed ability user to check the surroundings, an accident happened!

The zombies in the factory suddenly rushed out in a frantic manner, and dozens of zombie dogs, hiding behind the branches and trees, waiting for an opportunity, pounced at the same time!

“We seem to be surrounded!”

The zombies generally run away when they couldn’t attack or when the other party’s strength was way above theirs. Their behavior was enough to prove that the zombies had a certain perception, because they could feel fear. At that time, some experts speculated that zombies are evolving, and that their intelligence would also increase as their abilities became stronger.

This conjecture was indeed correct, because in the previous life, the Zombie King led a million zombies to attack the survivor base. Hundreds of thousands of people died and this massacre caused a global sensation!

Now Jiang Nian and Captain Li’s team were obviously surrounded.

Team Li immediately ordered: “Retreat first!”

The group of people could only go back the same way they came, guarding all the way, and not daring the slightest sloppiness. However, just when they were close to the exit, the zombies, which were waiting for the opportunity to attack, suddenly howled and rushed up-

Everyone immediately took out their weapons to confront them, and a battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Jiang Nian took out her machete, Wangcai brandished his claws, his body like lightning, and a head was brought down each swing of the claws!

Captain Li commanded loudly: “The first team will cover while the second team withdraw, don’t rush to fight, and retreat first!” At this time, he also found that something was wrong. These zombies’ attacks were not random, more like organized and premeditated. There were thousands of zombies on the caller, so if they fought them head on, their abilities would be exhausted, and then they would face imminent death.

Just as he gritted his teeth and fought desperately, several armored vehicles suddenly rumbling over. Li Ming leaned out of the window, casting a water curtain, and said loudly, “Get in the car!”

Captain Li immediately repeated: “Get in the car!” Jiang Nian just turned her head, but collided with a hard chest. It turned out to be Qin Yue, who immediately took Jiang Nian into his arms. At the same time, dozens of sky thunder fell from the sky, and the zombies fell like fireflies.

“Niannian, I’ll take you away first.”

Another teleportation made Jiang Nian’s sight a bit blurred so she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she was already in the car!

“Don’t worry, I will go to cover their retreat.”

Qin Yue didn’t accompany her for long, and once again stepped out of the battlefield.

Jiang Nian blinked and cupped her facein a daze. The male lead was really amazing, and really… so handsome! (T/N: Omg finallyyyyy!)

She felt that she was about to fall under Qin Yue’s black leather boots.

…

Two hours later, Qin Yue took them to a stop at a farmhouse in the suburbs.

Qin Yue suggested, “Let’s take a rest here today. It’s safe for the time being.” This place was farmhouse before, so although they could only squeeze in such a cramped space but it was safe for the time being. The wounded were taken to the room to treat their wounds and rest, while the logistics team had begun to cook in a huge pot.

Team Li gratefully said: “Brother Qin, thank you so much for what you did today. If you didn’t arrive in time, many brothers would be lost. Also, based on our findings today we can almost be sure that zombies are not only evolving, but also acquire a certain amount of intelligence as they get more powerful, and high-level zombies can order low-level zombies to obey the command, which resulted in besieging us in an organized and planned manner. I will immediately report this matter to my superiors and spread the news to everyone so they can take precautions.”

Qin Yue hummed, he didn’t care about anyone’s gratitude, he only wanted for Jiang Nian to be safe.

She used to protect him, but now he could protect her. Although he knew that Jiang Nian had enough self-protection ability, and few of her opponents were in the safe area, he still wanted to protect her.

He waved his hand so that Captain Li didn’t care about it. Turning around, he saw Jiang Nian squatting on the ground to supervise Wangcai washing his paws, one person and one cat, looking exceptionally harmonious and cute.

Jiang Nian stared attentively: “Cai Cai, I don’t dare to eat the dried fish you catch if you don’t wash your paws, so you should wash them more!”

Wangcai wailed dissatisfiedly and waved his paw. “Meow!!!”

Qin Yue, “…”

He seemed to be able to see Wang Cai’s small black eyes holding contempt.

“Niannian, you must be tired today. Go inside and take a rest.”

Jiang Nian acquiesced, and once again told Cai Cai to wash his body before entering the house, and then followed Qin Yue, where he should be I have been here several times, and even a special room was available. Now he gave this room to Jiang Nian. It was quite clean, equiped with a bed and a table, and Qin Yue took out a clean quilt from the space, as well as a few boxes of milk and candy biscuits that were placed on small plates, then neatly on the head of the bed.

“Are you hungry, do you want to eat something to fill your stomach?”

Jiang Nian took apart a large white rabbit toffee, and it was really sweet and delicious. She gave one to Qin Yue: “Would you like to eat one?”

Qin Yue smiled. What kind of candy does a big man eat: “I don’t need it, you eat it.”

“Well, then I will feed it to Caicai later.”

“…oh.”

Qin Yue stared at Jiang Nian, she looked very capable in black, but her appearance was extraordinarily clean, especially the hope and light in her eyes. It is not that she had never experienced wind and rain so she was full of hope for the world, in the contrary, she has experienced it, knowing that the world is sinister, but she had still faith and hope for the world.

She was his salvation in the dark world.

He suddenly blurted: “Nian Nian , have you thought about the future?”

“Future?” Jiang Nian nodded thoughtfully, “I thought about it, what about it?”

“What is the future you want like?”

“Protect my family and complete tasks.” Then she would accumulate a lot of big gold. Her goal in this life was becoming the god of big gold! Then use big gold to shape herself a golden body, her plan was simply perfect!

Qin Yue chuckled lightly. This future she wanted was simple but difficult at the same time. He looked at her and spoke seriously: “Then in your future, can you add me? We will protect our family and work together, and I will protect you.”

Jiang Nian was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue didn’t want to give Jiang Nian much time to think, and didn’t want to hear her rejection. He turned around and suddenly took out all kinds of boxes from his space. Then he opened them one by one: “I know you like jewelry, so every time I go out and see good-looking ones, I want to bring them back to you. But every time I hesitated, I was afraid that you would refuse it…”

Over the past six months, he had accumulated a lot of jewelry. Gold, silver and jade were laid out one by one, and they could hardly fit on the table, bed, and floor!

Jiang Nian was fascinated by the glittering things in this room, what big gold bracelet, gold necklace, golden crown, gold ring… Don’t say anything, she wanted to agree with her body!

Ahem…Well, I decided to post a new chapter ’cause I’m relatively free. Consider to support me on Ko-fi and comment a loooot!
