Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 187 - She's running a shipyard (1)
There was a moment of silence in the crowd, and then there was a frenzy of whistling and cheering. They had all been worried that the middle-aged man would trick Bei Nuan out of her bullet.
Unexpectedly, she had used the most aggressive and unyielding tactic to force him to play the human card. And in the end, she had given him the fairest outcome.
This F-tag girl had played the human card, which symbolized fairness and cooperation, three rounds in a row while still securing a bullet for herself each time.
First time, she persuaded a person that was wavering between playing the human card and the wolf card. Second time, she cooperated with an honorable person. Third time, she used a tough stance to force a scoundrel to play a human card.
A good person could also get bullets and do so in a beautiful way. The audience went wild.
The audience only knew the contestants' metal tag ranking and the number of zombies they killed. The contestants' names weren't announced. Since they only knew her tag, they kept referring to her as that F tag.
The cheering and screaming in the audience below gradually turned into chanting, "F! F! F! F!"
Bei Nuan felt a bit awkward on the stage. It felt weird being called by her tag ranking. She looked at Lu Xingchi from a distance. He was looking at her with appreciation and pride.
Bei Nuan thought; he looked like a parent that was proud his kid had gotten first place in an exam.
She glanced at her Holy Mother value. Sure enough, by playing the human card at the end with Lu Xingchi present, she had increased her Holy Mother value at an astonishing rate.
Bei Nuan had carefully considered the 4 possible outcomes before playing the human card.
She only needed one bullet. The second bullet had no value for her, so the benefit from playing the human card or the wolf card was the same regardless of her opponent's choice. However, playing the human card would have the extra benefit of increasing her holy mother value.
Everyone was already celebrating as if Bei Nuan had already won the cage fight.
The burly man waited for a while. When the audience's excitement had subsided, he stepped forward and led Bei Nuan and the middle-aged man into the fighting cage.
It was only then that the audience realized that the participants still had to fight zombies, and they became nervous for Bei Nuan again.
With Lu Xingchi around, Bei Nuan wasn't afraid of anything.
This time, one of the zombies in the cages was especially tall and strong. She could tell that it was specially chosen. She didn't even have to ask to know who was behind this.
Bei Nuan picked up the familiar gun and softly scoffed. No matter how fierce a zombie was, it was still only a zombie.
As soon as the metal cage was open, the specially selected powerful zombie was shot in the head after taking two steps.
Bei Nuan turned to look over at the middle-aged man's side and saw that it wasn't going smoothly. She had heard him firing the gun, but she saw now that he had missed the headshot. He had shot the zombie's neck instead.
The zombie awkwardly tilted its head and went after the middle-aged man with persistence.
The cage fight wasn't over until the zombie caught the participant. Everyone was silently watching the middle-aged man panicking and scurrying around the stage.
The cage wasn't big. The middle-aged man used the zombie cage as a barrier, and the zombie kept going after the middle-aged man around the cage like it was playing hide-and-seek.
As the middle-aged man was running around, he noticed that the metal rod used to open the zombie cages had somehow fallen down and rolled over to the side of the fighting cage. The middle-aged man rushed over, quickly grabbed the metal rod, and dragged it into the fighting cage.
The pointed end of the metal rod was a usable sharp weapon.
The zombie was on the opposite side. Using all of his strength, the middle-aged man desperately threw the metal rod at the zombie's head.
He succeeded.
Perhaps, it was because the middle-aged man had all used his strength. The sharp metal rod went through the zombie's head and kept going.
The metal rod had left the middle-aged man's hand, passed through the zombie and the metal grid of the fighting cage, and flew towards the audience. Under the eyes of everyone, the metal rod arched beautifully down and shot straight towards the sitting Qiu Zhengxun as if it was a super long steel arrow.
This happened too quickly; the speed of the metal rod was astonishing. There were so many skilled people standing behind Qiu Zhengxun, but none of them could react in time.
The metal rod was so stable, so accurate, so fierce. It jabbed into Qiu Zhengxun's forehead and went right through his head.
At the last moment of his life, Qiu Zhengxun had felt a chill, and his gaze had been on Bei Nuan, who was standing in the cage. He had seen that Bei Nuan was looking at him. Unlike everyone else, her expression was calm as if it was perfectly normal that a steel rod would fly towards him.
This was the last thing he saw before dying - Bei Nuan curving her lips into a seraphic smile.
