Chapter 116 - 116 On the Verge of Collapse
116 On the Verge of Collapse
Before she chose to explain anything, Tang Susu had already come up with a story.
At this moment, Tang Mingqi said calmly, “That day when we went out to look for water, we ran into people from other places harvesting the Crystal Cores. We tried to find out more about it, but we didn’t believe it completely.”
“After some observation and seeing what happened to Cheng Cheng, I can roughly make some guesses, but I can’t be 100% sure, so you have to pay attention to it. There might be some discrepancies…”
Tang Susu gave her brother a round of applause in her mind.
They were littered with half-truths and lies, but they were very convincing.
In addition, she had deliberately made some things vague. There were indeed people outside who were smart enough to dig out the things from the zombies’ heads. Although they might not know how to use them, they were explicitly collecting them.
Luo Feng instantly felt embarrassed for suspecting them.
Especially when they were investigating the mysterious hacker these few days, they even speculated whether it was Tang Mingqi. They even tried to probe him about it twice…
If they were with the hacker, they would have to hide all of this tightly. They wouldn’t have been so honest with them and You Cheng. They were even generously sharing this important information with others!
“Thank you. You Cheng and my brethren owe you a lot too. I will convince You Cheng about it, so don’t worry about it!”
Tang Mingchu’s face, which had been all gloomy because of You Cheng, finally looked better. “If he starts any trouble with Susu again, I’m going to beat him up!”
After he left, Tang Mingqi looked at Luo Feng’s figure as he walked away. He squinted his peach-shaped eyes, which were very similar to Tang Susu’s. “That should be enough to dismiss their suspicions, right?”
“Maybe,” Although Tang Susu didn’t mind telling Luo Feng some important information that they wanted to know. However, she would be in a lot of trouble if they accidentally revealed her instead.
Therefore, today’s situation was also an operation to get rid of the suspicion, killing two birds with one stone.
“Are they really going to really leave? Should we make some preparations as soon as possible, too?” The usually happy-go-lucky Tang Mingchu was a little worried.
Although Cuidi Lake Garden was as peaceful as paradise since they had cleared out most of the zombies within a radius of a few kilometers, they had specially patrolled the area when they were in the helicopter today and found out that South City was already on the verge of collapsing!
Tang Susu remembered her mandatory S-rank mission and felt somewhat restrained. “We’ll stay for another week at most. Let’s wait a little longer…”
You Cheng said he wanted to leave, but she didn’t expect him to act so quickly. As if he couldn’t even stay for another second.
On her way home, Tang Susu passed by his villa and saw that he and his soldiers were already ready to leave.
You Cheng pretended not to see them as he pulled a long face and strode away without looking at her.
The other soldiers said goodbye to them warmly.
He Qiang and Tang Mingqi had gone out to kill zombies a few times and grew to respect each other. At this moment, he sighed reluctantly. “I didn’t expect You Cheng to be so dull. He didn’t even know how to chase after a girl. I thought you would leave with us.”
“He Qiang!” You Cheng roared.
Tang Susu didn’t even have the energy to complain. How did he manage to get to the top when he was so emotional?
“Be careful!”
“See you next time!”
When they heard that the soldiers were leaving, the thirty-odd people who were part of the rescue team and their families instantly fell into a panic!
“Is this place going to be destroyed soon? Can we leave with them?”
“I’ve asked around. They’re from the Northern Theater Command. They have the largest strategic reserve center in the country.”
“A strategic reserve center? It’s a base built to store strategic reserves in case of war and other disasters. There’s plenty of energy and resources there. It’s hard to get food in South City now. Why don’t we leave with them?”
