Chapter 29: Little Mountain Village

Chapter 29

Qin Zhao quietly put on her face mask.

If they were to come over,

beating them up wouldn't be out of the question.

"Who's there?"

The other party asked while moving towards Qin Zhao. His voice trembled a little, seemingly worried that there was some dirty thing.

"Is it human or ghost?! Come out quickly!!" The man yelled louder and louder, as if to embolden himself.

When he was five meters away from Qin Zhao, Ye Chenxi said: "Enough, come back quickly! What could be out here in the desolate mountains and wilderness."

The man also breathed a sigh of relief and stopped approaching Qin Zhao.

A few minutes later, after Ye Chenxi and the others had walked away, Qin Zhao came out from the bushes and said to the system, "Change the route."

"Okay."

The route 502 found this time was a little further, but not much. Qin Zhao started rushing down the road as soon as possible.

"Host, there are two pieces of news. Do you want to hear the good news first or the bad news?"

Qin Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "Bad news."

502: "The bad news is Nan Chenghui's helicopter has landed.

The good news is Nan Chenghui and the others don't know exactly where Chen Xiao lives, and they are debating how to find him.

Over the years in the village, Chen Xiao has lived in several different places."

"If Nan Chenghui can't find it, Ye Chenxi must not have found it either. They can only go door to door asking.

Very good, this is my chance!"

Qin Zhao threw away the water and bags of beef jerky in her backpack to reduce the load, then started running.

After passing through the dense forest and wading across a stream, she saw faint light ahead, spilling out from the villagers' homes!

With a clear goal, her steps became even more swift. Fifteen minutes later, she had entered the village.

"Woof! Woof woof!"

A few barks startled Qin Zhao!

"Don't bark, don't bark, it will draw the villagers and make things difficult."

She quickly took out a ham from her bag, tore it open, and threw it to the puppy's mouth.

The puppy looked at Qin Zhao warily, but couldn't resist the temptation of food in the end. It lowered its head and started eating.

Qin Zhao took the chance to circle around the puppy...

The room fell silent briefly.

Soon, Chen Xiao started laughing lowly, "Hahahaha, come on then. With this body, living is meaningless anyway, dying would be a relief."

"Is that so?" Qin Zhao asked.

Chen Xiao didn't respond.

Qin Zhao continued, "The desire to live is human instinct. Judging by your current state, even though your body is broken beyond repair, to the point you can't even walk with your legs, you still choose to keep living.

That alone shows the issue clearly.

Not only do you want to live, you want to live well.

I came to provide you with precisely such an opportunity.

As long as you leave with me, I'll be responsible for your life going forward."

Chen Xiao turned his head to look at Qin Zhao, a gleam flashed in his eyes. "Your offer is very tempting, but why should I believe you?"

Qin Zhao took off her mask, "Because I have a grudge with Nan Chenghui, because I want to use you to take him down.

If we cooperate, it would be mutually beneficial with no one taking advantage of the other."

Chen Xiao's gaze roamed over Qin Zhao's face, as if trying to find any signs of lying.

After a while, he said, "Old man hasn't seen such a pretty woman in a long time."

Qin Zhao: "..."

She smiled, wanting to scold him but remaining polite. "Then take a good look while you can.

If you agree to my request, there will be plenty of chances in the future.

If not, you won't get to see anymore soon."

"Host, they're here!" The system called out anxiously.

Qin Zhao immediately strode over to the candle and extinguished the flame.

She said softly to Chen Xiao, "He's here. Before I leave, you can think about it."

She pushed Chen Xiao's wheelchair into the room on the left.

The two held their breath, listening carefully to the sounds outside the door.

The stench of decay filled the room, making Qin Zhao feel like she could barely breathe with each inhalation.

An aged voice came from the darkness: "Alright, I agree to you..."

What else he said was drowned out by the sudden fighting sounds from outside the door!

Nan Chenghui yelled, "Kill them all! Especially Ye Chenxi!!"

Ye Chenxi was just as fierce, "Go on, what are you waiting for! Kill Nan Chenghui, 100,000 reward for each person!!"
