I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1351 - 1346: Borrow and Return 1

Chapter 1351: Chapter 1346: Borrow and Return 1

The beast skin effect must be real; it’s a piece of living equipment, after all. Tu-E indeed sensed the presence of his kind from the skin.

But such merchandise is usually very expensive, and Xu Mengyun didn’t seem to have the economic ability to buy it. She would only visit it every day as if to make sure it hadn’t been sold, clearly very interested in that nearly zombie skin.

Still, Tu-E never fully let his guard down. No matter when she went out, he would control his insects to follow her and accompany her through the streets and alleys.

This time, he watched Xu Mengyun return to the yard, bringing some homemade red sugar she bought from some trading place to distribute to the children. Tu-E relaxed, starting to mentally chat with his kind, who were "cultivating their minds and characters."

"Hey, hey, hey, when is the shift changing?"

"That’s hard to say. Just keep working hard, hehehe, when you come back, I’ll promote you."

"I don’t give a damn! Do you know how I got here? Three days and nights! I worked without eating or drinking; the donkeys in the production team aren’t even this driven!"

"You’ll have to ask Brother Hu about that unless you can beat him."

"F*ck off, don’t talk crap. I don’t know when this will end. That woman might not actually make a move for at least another half a month. I can’t wait that long, hurry up and get Blanche to switch with me!"

"I can’t help you with that. Don’t beg me; it’s useless!"

"F*ck! Go tell Brother Hu, otherwise you can forget about getting the four thousand Yajin you owe me."

"You motherf*cker..."

"Aaaargh! This crazy woman goes out hundreds of times a day, I’m going insane! If we don’t switch shifts soon, I’ll become the first zombie driven mad by humans!... Damn! Lan Shi’s gone out again!"

Watching the little gate of the yard open again, revealing Xu Mengyun’s figure, who seemed to be carrying a student’s backpack bulging with stuff, and who knew what it was. The moment he saw her, Tu-E blurted out a dialect as rough as it could be in his mind, not even sure where it was from, learned from Huang Quanjiu, no doubt.

Tu-E was somewhat frantic. Was this more tiring than the apocalyptic soul-chasing assembly line? How long had it been? That woman had just gone in and now she was heading out again. Was her shopping addiction that severe?

"Alright, you keep an eye on her. I’ll talk to Brother Hu. But, brother, you have to hold on. It doesn’t matter if you die; what’s important is my four thousand Yajin. Before you die, you have to pawn everything to pay me back!"

"F*ck off!"

Tu-E roared in his mind, his heart filling with intense anger and resentment as he looked at Xu Mengyun!

He was right; Xu Mengyun, who had gone in for less than a minute, had come out again. But this time, there was the man from three days ago, Wang Zhixing, with her.

"Director, I’ll take my leave now. I’m confident you all are true philanthropists, genuinely considering these poor children. With this assurance, I am at ease. I’ve already notified my subordinates, and someone will soon deliver the resources you need."

"There’s no need to be so polite. Compared with you, I still have a long way to go. Whatever you lent me, I’ll find a way to repay you."

"Hahaha, it’s nothing. Consider it a gift from me. The more than ten thousand Yajin is nothing compared to your integrity, which is even more precious and rare. Perhaps I’ll soon receive a return on my investment; I’ve always been an optimist."

"The man said casually," he chatted with Xu Mengyun for a bit before waving goodbye.

Watching his car drive away, Xu Mengyun followed him with her eyes, waiting until his car completely vanished from her sight. Then she weighed her backpack on her shoulders, which immediately made a "ping-pang" clashing sound, as if it contained some kind of crystals.

These Yajin, you could say she got them for nothing. But Xu Mengyun didn’t see it that way, because she knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Wang Zhixing might not be wrong, sooner or later he would get his repayment from her, but she had no idea what she would use to repay him.

Tu-E controlled the flying insects to infiltrate through the zipper gap, and when he saw the contents of the backpack, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fuck!"

The backpack Xu Mengyun was carrying was filled with Evolution Crystals! If they were all converted into Yajin, there were at least around fourteen thousand!

The reflective eyes of the flying insects shone with those transparent crystals, even Tu-E’s real body, which was five or six hundred meters away from Xu Mengyun, was dazzled!

"Ma De! I really want to rob you!"

Ever since he started playing cards with Jiema and Chu Zha, he never had more than two hundred Yajin on him. The thought of over ten thousand Yajin made his whole body tremble, and he almost wanted to just run down there, snatch the backpack, and take off!

But he held back, knowing that the Yajin in the woman’s backpack was meant to buy that piece of zombie skin.

"Such extravagance!"

Tu-E couldn’t help but feel pained. If he had known earlier that the woman was going to use over ten thousand Yajin to buy a piece of living equipment, he would have extorted one directly from Ha Zhen. That way, the over ten thousand Yajin would have been his!

For Tu-E, those over ten thousand Yajin were not to be taken lightly; exactly ten thousand, even if he encountered the highest multiplier in a card game he had ever seen in his life, it was enough for him to lose it twenty times over!

After Wang Zhixing left, Xu Mengyun didn’t stay there for long. She ran to the dead end they had been at previously and changed into men’s clothes as quickly as possible, taking the same route Tu-E had guessed. Perhaps because she was about to get what she wanted, the woman seemed very excited, no longer as leisurely as she had been the days before.

Tu-E followed her, weaving through the crowd, his gaze fixed on her until she entered the trading venue. With a wave of his hand, a swarm of tiny insects followed her in.

The vendor selling the zombie skin was still there, setting up his stand every day. A crowd had gathered in front of the stall, many fixated on that piece of zombie skin. Needless to say, a piece of living zombie skin was invaluable for Bounty Hunters who often ventured outside; its worth was astronomical. Over ten thousand Yajin was an amount most people couldn’t muster even by squandering their entire fortunes.

Therefore, only a few could afford that animal skin on the stall, and haggling? The vendor said the lowest price was thirteen thousand, not a Yajin less.

Xu Mengyun pushed through the crowd. As she had done the previous days, she laid her eyes on the vendor and immediately on the zombie skin. She was about to reach out to touch it when the next second, the stall owner’s unfriendly voice rang out.

"Hey, I already said, don’t touch it if you’re not going to buy it. You’ve come several times, and I’ve seen you every time. If you can’t afford it, don’t come, really."

"How do you know I can’t afford it?" Xu Mengyun replied, not pleased.

"If you can afford it, then buy it!"

Xu Mengyun had come so many times in one day that the stall owner recognized her instantly.

"Fine! I’ll buy it!" she said irritably, her tone tinged with frustration.
