ng Xu strode away confidently, leaving his employees with a single word: ‘shocked.’
“Uncle ng is so scary…”
After a long silence, it was Zhang Wenqi who first broke it, her eyes filled with lingering fear and tears, clearly showing an extre fear of ng Xu.
ng Xu’s killer instinct, erratic behavior, and borderline madness due to system tasks would frighten anyone, not just children.
Even a normal adult would feel scared.
Hearing this, Zhou Yanni quickly pulled Zhang Wenqi over, sternly saying, “Uncle ng saved your life. You mustn’t speak like this!”
Forr Zhou Yanni: This boss is a lunatic; I must find a way to escape before he loses it.
Current Zhou Yanni: The boss has an extrely active mind and will definitely lead us to greatness and safety through this apocalypse! She had witnessed too many of ng Xu’s ingenious ideas. She felt that ng Xu was like a Doraemon or Mickey Mouse, always able to pull out so amazing tools unexpectedly.
Zhang Lunping and Shen Zhaozhao exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.
As they sighed, an overwhelming sense of security quickly rose around them.
Chairman ng even wanted to seek justice for a zombie employee’s accidental death, proving that as long as they didn’t break company rules and respected the boss, Chairman ng wouldn’t harm them.
In fact…
Zhang Lunping thought deeply. He looked at his wife Zhou Yanni and daughter Zhang Wenqi, feeling reassured.
If he were to die while executing a company task, he believed that ng Xu would take good care of his family.
At the very least, they wouldn’t be treated as burdens and discarded, like the depictions in TV dramas, movies, and novels.
Shen Zhaozhao, too, worked even harder.
Following such a boss during the apocalypse, what regrets could she have?
…
“Roar!”
A zombie rushed out of the cafeteria on the second floor, targeting ng Xu as tonight’s dinner. But ng Xu was in no mood. Without any pretense, he swung his axe, splitting the zombie in two.
ng Xu was in a foul mood. He had just lost more money in one go than he could save in five years before the apocalypse, making the frugal… economically prudent Chairman very angry.
Of course, that wasn’t the main issue.
The main issue was an employee was attacked!
The Peace and Order Group had just started, and it was already losing staff. This was utterly disrespectful to the company!
As the saying goes, ‘When Southern Yue killed the Han envoys, they were slaughtered in nine counties. When the King of Wan killed the Han envoys, his head was hung at the northern gate. When Korea killed the Han envoys, they were instantly exterminated.’ The Peace and Order Group is just a company, but ng Xu must take full responsibility for every employee!
Although losing Zhang Tao for Peace and Order Group was like not finding a pair of chopsticks while drinking water—essentially unimportant.
But this concerned the morale of both human and zombie employees!
This matter had to be resolved!
“Allocate points, allocate to Agility!”
ng Xu angrily said, allocating the attribute points from his achievent to Agility.
With this, ng Xu’s Agility attribute successfully increased to 18 points, nearing the human limit.
Another way to look at it, ng Xu essentially spent 280,000 yuan in cash to gain 0.5 attribute points.
But ng Xu still felt itchy, needing to kill sothing to feel better.
Li Xiang and Chi Wei were ready, following behind ng Xu with sharp gazes.
ng Xu had given them a raise.
Each got a 3,000 yuan increase, and those who perford outstandingly on this ‘business trip’ would have a chance to receive a large red crystal directly from ng Xu.
Hence, it was evident that Chi Wei and Li Xiang were eager.
Arriving at the first-floor lobby, ng Xu looked out at the zombies wandering outside the glass doors. He snorted coldly and instructed Li Xiang and Chi Wei.
“Clear the way ahead!”
“Roar!”
Li Xiang charged out directly, while Chi Wei followed, but at a slower pace.
It was clear that Li Xiang was more eager for the evolution crystal than Chi Wei.
ng Xu took a deep breath, looking at Li Xiang, who was driving away the zombies. ng Xu nodded silently, acknowledging Li Xiang’s good job.
However, there were too many zombies at the door.
ng Xu decided to take a detour through the underground parking lot.
Lightly equipped, he would first observe the situation and then act.
Zhang Tao, although your position in the entire Peace and Order Group was insignificant…
But I will definitely avenge your death!
ng Xu’s gaze turned resolute, and the fire axe in his hand seed to transform into an invincible divine weapon.
…
“It’s no different from ordinary zombies… What’s the problem?”
In an empty room on the second floor of a fruit shop, two corpses lay with their abdons cut open. ng Xunpeng held a fruit knife, surrounded by a sea of fresh blood, and was perplexed.
He examined the two corpses.
One was the body of the shop owner, old Liu, and the other was a peculiar zombie corpse that ng Xunpeng found quite unusual.
The shop owner, or rather, the forr shop owner Old Liu, had turned into a zombie after saving ng Xunpeng and would often wander around the shop door, knocking on it as if he had a deep attachnt to the fruit shop.
ng Xunpeng had set a trap the next day, letting a survivor who sought his protection kill Old Liu, and then watched as the survivor was devoured by the zombies that rushed in.
So, old Liu’s corpse remained at the fruit shop door.
As for the peculiar zombie, it was even simpler.
ng Xunpeng lay in wait with a stick, and when the zombie tried to move the corpse, he struck it on the head with all his might, successfully killing it.
Although the zombie’s head wasn’t very hard, ng Xunpeng still managed to kill it with his limited strength.
After killing the peculiar zombie, ng Xunpeng led the other zombies away, dragged Old Liu’s corpse inside, and compared the two zombies, still puzzled about the differences.
“There’s no significant difference… Why did this zombie carry a corpse?”
ng Xunpeng pushed his glasses up, feeling very puzzled, and unable to think clearly.
Although his education wasn’t high, he had studied dicine.
Although he hadn’t obtained a license and didn’t work at a hospital, he still had so basic knowledge and had beco the deputy manager of a custor service company… But he was still clueless about what was going on.
He even couldn’t find any virus.
He had no idea what was happening.
“Sigh…”
ng Xunpeng let out a deep sigh and then returned to the restroom to wash his hands with the stored water.
He planned to clean up the area since the two corpses were quite eerie.
And he had plenty of water resources, including the mineral water in the fruit shop, which could sustain him for two to three months.
In ng Xunpeng’s plan, two to three months would be enough to wait for the military to rescue him.
But just as ng Xunpeng was about to clean up, he suddenly heard a knocking sound coming from the door below.
“Hmm?”
ng Xunpeng was taken aback.
The knocking sound was unusual, unlike the irregular sounds made by zombies. This ti, the sound had a rhythm and cadence, as if it were a human knocking.
ng Xunpeng furrowed his brow, his face showing a strange expression.
“What’s going on?”
He had seen many survivors co for help. After all, this was one of the few places in the vicinity with supplies, so it was normal for survivors to co here.
But…
Knocking on the front door?!
Does that make sense?
Considering a few zombies were wandering around the front street, it was odd for anyone, especially a small team, to approach the front door.
ng Xunpeng was baffled. He walked out of the restroom and looked down from the second-floor window.
What he saw made his heart jump.
The zombies that had been wandering near the fruit shop’s entrance were now lying on the ground, lifeless, with dark red fluid seeping out.
The zombies had been taken care of, silently?!
ng Xunpeng couldn’t help but swallow nervously, peering downstairs. He suddenly noticed a person with green hair.
Besides the green-haired individual, there was a petite girl.
However, these two didn’t attract ng Xunpeng’s attention.
What truly caught ng Xunpeng’s attention was the man politely knocking on the door.
Wearing a red down jacket, he looked quite cheerful, yet ng Xunpeng couldn’t see his face clearly due to his angle.
ng Xunpeng was montarily unsure how to respond.
However, the cheerful man downstairs seed to sense sothing and looked up, eting his gaze.
Their eyes t.
ng Xunpeng felt a chill down his spine!
It felt like he was on a vast plain, encountering a fierce beast. Though the beast appeared friendly, its eyes hid an endless killing intent, sending chills down his back!
He even started sweating lightly on his forehead.
What is he here for?
The other two behind him didn’t look human…
Is he the one controlling the special zombie?!
What kind of person can command zombies, an ability user, and specifically one who can manipulate zombies?!
At that mont, countless thoughts surged in ng Xunpeng’s mind.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the window slightly and called down to the cheerful man below, “Hey, friend… Are you here to collect supplies? We can trade. I have apples. Do you want so apples?”
Apples were easy to store, and in the apocalypse, especially in an environnt without electricity, ng Xunpeng figured the other party would need them.
He was betting that this survivor was a reasonable person.
If he was reasonable, maybe he could cover up killing the man’s zombies with ignorance.
Maybe…
ng Xunpeng took a deep breath, even willing to beco the man’s lackey!
But then he heard a resolute voice from downstairs, “Apples? I don’t need apples.”
What?
ng Xunpeng didn’t understand what he ant.
Then he heard the voice again, “I support dostic products; I only use dostic phones!”
ng Xunpeng: ???
Are you insane?
This is a fruit shop, not a phone shop. Did you think I ant an Apple phone when I said apples?!
