Chapter 144 - 144 Pillaging
144 Pillaging
Zuo Xun and the others dug out the crystal cores for them. Tang Susu confirmed the number. Not a single one was missing. All 63 of them.
In addition to the 12 she had killed before this, she currently had a total of 75. After deducting the ones she had used on Cheng Cheng in the morning, she threw another 60 T2 crystals into the Energy Reservoir.
Mrs. Tang didn’t wake up, but her body temperature had gone back to normal, which was a good sign.
Tang Susu immediately called for everyone to set out again.
At this moment, the sunset glow had already covered half the sky and its soft orange-red light covered everything. This scene which should have been beautiful had a hint of sadness added to it because of the corpses all over the ground.
It was the same in almost every corner of Earth. Human society was being completely overhauled, and their fate had become uncertain. Only those with perseverance, wisdom, and courage could go further.
Zuo Xun listened to the sound of their car starting up and they left in the blink of an eye. He clenched his fists and waited for a long time.
It was the survival of the fittest!
“What should we do now, boss?” The others said with bitterness on their faces.
“What do you mean, what do we do next? Find a new car!”
“But in this wilderness …”
Zuo Xun couldn’t help but wish that he could drag Tang Susu out of his mind and give her a round of whipping!
He would remember this!
On the other side, the four men from the Tang family were each driving a car. The more powerful and durable military bulletproof car was at the front and the other one at the back, protecting the RV and the truck in the middle.
While Cheng Cheng was taking care of Mrs. Tang, Tang Susu pulled Xiao Yuan to the side to wash up and then climb onto the king-sized bed on the upper bunk.
Of the two of them, one was the frailest while the other was the youngest, so they both needed sufficient rest.
Xiaoyuan was a little embarrassed at first. She was so happy that she almost fainted from sleeping on the same bed with her favorite Sis Susu!
Slowly, the soft breath beside her calmed down. She quickly fell asleep in such a comfy mood.
Cheng Cheng glanced at them and thought to herself that sometimes, she really couldn’t tell Tang Susu’s age. With her personality and skills, she couldn’t see herself as a junior. However, at this time, she was lying next to Xiaoyuan. Her baby-like appearance was so sweet that she sometimes thought that she was looking at her other daughter.
Three hours later, the group arrived at the city where Zuo Xun and the others had been looking for supplies.
It was already dark when Tang Susu was woken up. The car’s headlights lit up the road. They could see a few zombified corpses lying on the ground.
If it wasn’t for the time constraint, she really didn’t want to rush at night.
They were lucky this time and didn’t encounter any danger, but that might not be the case next time.
“Cheng Cheng, why don’t you sleep a bit? It’s still early. We’ll take turns to keep watch.”
Tang Susu persuaded her to go to sleep. It was not inconvenient once she drew the curtains around the bed.
She gave her twin brother a look.
Although he was very sleepy, Tang Mingchu was a little excited. He said with an almost trembling voice, “What I like to do the most now is to rob banks. It’s even more enjoyable than supply runs!”
Tang Susu was speechless. They had all become money-grubbers, huh?
At the moment, their car was parked in a remote area not far from the bank. The car was leaning against the wall of the high-rise buildings in a defensive position so that the zombies could not surround them.
Mr. Tang and Tang Mingzhou got out of the car with weapons in their hands and looked around vigilantly.
Tang Susu, on the other hand, followed her two brothers and put on the Invisibility Talismans. They quickly entered a large reserve bank.
This time, she also didn’t make a move, because the two of them were even more familiar with the process of “robbing a bank” than she was. She didn’t even have a chance to make any moves at all.
When everything was done, they would call out to her, their voices full of joy.
Tang Susu walked over and waved her hand happily. She moved ten million into her account again.
Then, a continuous string of system prompts rang in her mind.
‘+3 million!’
‘+20 million!’
‘+100 million!’
Because of their seamless cooperation and extremely high efficiency, they went to another two banks not far away and took even more money.
Tang Mingzhou was getting a little worried and wanted to look for them. It was at this time that Tang Susu and her two yawning brothers rushed back.
“How did it go?” The man asked with a smile.
Tang Susu made an “OK” gesture.
When the sky lit up once more, everyone had a simple hot meal and continued on their way.
Along the way, they did not forget to collect important supplies. Most of them were secretly stored in their spatial equipment and backpack, while a small portion was placed out in the open and placed in the truck and trunks.
When Cheng Cheng and her daughter weren’t paying attention, the older brothers would search for valuables without rest. In their eyes, those valuables would become an important asset for Susu.
Therefore, they went crazy and would even empty their spatial equipment before going off. Every time they came back, they would pour out a pile of valuables for Tang Susu. It was as if they could sniff out treasures using their nose like in the movie. Finding valuables had already become a basic instinct that was engraved in their bones!
Tang Susu’s wealth was increasing at an exponential rate. In two days, it had already reached tens of billions.
Soon, they left the border of S Province. Mutated plants, animals, and zombies had completely taken this land over. There were almost no signs of the living anymore. Occasionally, a few groups of people would appear, but even they were speeding up their escape and preparing to find another place to live.
However, despair was written all over their faces. Seeing the calm, clean, and satisfied appearance of the Tang family, some people invited them to go with them.
Some people used all kinds of excuses to ask for supplies from them, from making a scene to try to shame them to give up some of their supplies. Even though Mr. Tang was used to human nature, he still felt sad and lost for the future of mankind.
In a world where material desires were rampant, they had become more and more indifferent and selfish. The arrival of the end of the world intensified this phenomenon. Some people naturally felt that they were just trying to survive, so they reached out to those around them and tore them apart.
Tang Susu had seen with her own eyes that some people used their wives and daughters to start a prostitution business just for food. Some people exchanged children for food, sold their wives and daughters, and threw away their sick mothers like they were throwing away their burdens…
They tried to save those who could be saved and ignored those who couldn’t.
During this period, Tang Susu used some of the supplies she had plundered from Jin Dahai’s convenience store. She was already planning to use them to support others, so she didn’t feel bad at all.
Occasionally, she would collect numerous supplies. When she was in a good mood, she would allocate some of them for relief.
She would completely separate the relief supplies from their own resources. She would never allow themselves to be affected adversely just because they wanted to save others.
Cheng Cheng had seen the Tang family’s behavior. They were kind and shrewd. It was not bad to be with people like this. If it wasn’t because she needed to find her other family members, she really wanted to join them together with her daughter if possible…
Just like that, the group soon arrived at the capital of H Province, the famous land of cherry blossoms. Qingzhou City.
Mrs. Tang, who had been unconscious for three whole days, finally woke up at this time and brought them a surprise…
