Chapter 190 - Unwanted Fame (1)
The colorful tattooed man incredulously asked Bei Nuan again, "Can we leave today?"
After planning for so long, the actualization of their goal was within sight. It was too surprising.
"That's right," Bei Nuan affirmatively replied, "If you want to leave, you can leave right now. The boat is available at any time."
The colorful tattooed man's ability to make decisions was very good. He made his decision after only considering it for a second.
"Let's go then. The tower guards that keep watch of the perimeter always slack off and eat during shift changes. I calculated the gap between shift changes. There's enough time for us to row the boat to the nearest shore."
They had already checked out their surroundings for their escape and were ready to go except for the crucial item, a boat.
Bei Nuan suddenly said, "Wait a second."
She turned around and dashed back to the casino.
Lu Xingchi followed after her and saw that she had found the place to exchange money in the casino and was withdrawing all of the money she had won in the past cage fights.
Bei Nuan held a thick stack of bills and put the money away in her pocket space, perfectly satisfied. "It's more reassuring to keep the money on myself. I'm taking the money out to buy Du Ruo roasted sparrows."
She sounded like a parent who had gone out, worked hard for a day, and wanted to go home to buy snacks for her kid.
After Bei Nuan and Lu Xingchi left the casino, they went with the colorful tattooed man and his friend to get their backpacks. Like everyone that had traveled far in the apocalypse, the colorful tattooed man and his friend each had a backpack that contained the basic necessities: food, water, and warm clothing.
The two men led Bei Nuan and Lu Xingchi to the back of the isle and carried out a long wooden ladder hidden in a patch of overgrown vegetation on the sandy area. There was still bark on it, and it looked like a roughly made ladder. However, its construction was very sturdy, and it was tall enough to reach the top of the perimeter wall.
"Where's the boat?" the colorful tattooed man asked Bei Nuan.
Bei Nuan calmly replied, "The boat is parked outside. You'll see it right after going out. Let's climb over the wall now?"
The colorful tattooed man had interacted with Bei Nuan twice. He felt that he had a good understanding of her character and trusted her words.
He looked at the gold watch on his wrist. "Wait ten minutes."
Sure enough, after ten minutes, they could see the guards leisurely walking down from the wooden tower in the distance.
They quickly put the ladder against the wall and climbed up the ladder.
Lu Xingchi and the colorful tattooed man worked together to lift up the ladder and move it to the other side of the wall. The group climbed down the ladder.
Bei Nuan ran straight towards a cluster of aquatic plants, leaned over, and pushed the plants away.
"Come here, look, the boat is here."
A small wooden boat with pointed ends and curved like a crescent moon was quietly moored in the aquatic plants.
"There's really a boat!" The colorful tattooed man's friend cheered and ran over.
For a boat to be left next to where they climbed over the wall was too much of a strange coincidence. However, the colorful tattooed man only glanced at Bei Nuan and didn't ask any questions.
Pressed for time, the colorful tattooed man and his friend got onto the boat, picked up the oars, and set the bow of the boat in the right direction before waving goodbye.
"Survive and meet us in the safe zone!"
Bei Nuan waved at them too.
The colorful tattooed man continued to say, "Don't forget to invite me to drink at your wedding after you reach the safe zone!"
Bei Nuan: "..."
Lu Xingchi actually smiled and calmly replied, "Okay."
Bei Nuan: ???
"What are you saying okay to?"
"Inviting him to drink." The boat had left. Lu Xingchi turned around and walked towards the wall. He deliberately skipped the most important words.
"But, he said -" Bei Nuan chased after him.
Lu Xingchi halted, turned around, and seriously asked her, "What did he say?"
Stifled, Bei Nuan answered, "Nothing."
Lu Xingchi smiled again. He ruffled her hair and seemed to be in a very good mood.
After they climbed back over the wall, Bei Nuan put the ladder into her pocket space. After waiting for a long time, they finally saw the guards leisurely going back up the tower.
After the guards went up, they casually surveyed the lake and didn't have any unusual reactions.
It seemed that the colorful tattooed man and his friend had successfully reached the other side.
They had left with Bei Nuan's little boat, and her Holy Mother value went up again. Bei Nuan was in a pretty good mood.
***
When they returned to the campsite, everyone was there. Seeing them safely come back, everyone sighed in relief.
"See, I told you they would be okay," Tang Tang said, "If anything happened to Big Sis Nuan Nuan, Big Bro Lu would have already destroyed this island. Nothing happened on the island all night, so they must have gone on a date."
Bei Nuan was speechless. "What date? From last night till now, I had to fight zombies in four cage fights."
Even Jiang Fei furrowed his beautiful brow.
"Cage fights? What cage fights?"
Bei Nuan shared what happened.
Jiang Fei sneered. "That Qiu guy got off too easily. You should have locked him in the storage room for zombies and then released the zombies."
Du Ruo looked at him in askance. He muttered in dissatisfaction, "Stuffing trash into the mouths of my fellow zombies, that's such inhumane treatment."
Bei Nuan pondered, "That's inhumane?"
Du Ruo thought it over. "Hmm… anti-zombie? Zombie-tarianism?"
Lu Xingchi was speechless. "He's not abusing wild animals. How is this inhumane?"
Du Ruo immediately disagreed, "Are you calling my fellow zombies wild animals?"
Bei Nuan took out a big stack of money from her pocket space to distract him. "Du Ruo, look, here's my prize money from the cage fights. I'll buy you roasted sparrows!"
Du Ruo was immediately moved. "Bei Nuan, you're so kind, but you risked your life for this money. I can't spend it nilly-willy."
It sounded like he was acting out a play of a mom selling her blood to feed her starving kid.
Bei Nuan showed him the money. "There's plenty. You can be as reckless as you want in spending it."
Du Ruo looked at the thick stack of money and suddenly said, "That's a lot more money than transporting stones. Can you voluntarily sign up for cage fights? I want to go too. If I stuff the zombie back into the original cage, will that count as a win?"
Everyone else: "..."
