Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 268 - Found! (1)
After slashing for a while, Big Black was a bit irritable. In the gap before more zombies rushed to the group, he glanced at Skinny Monkey and Bei Nuan.
"Come up and help? Even if you can't kill a zombie, you can still go through the motions."
Bei Nuan immediately felt a bit embarrassed. She took two steps forward.
More zombies rushed over. Bei Nuan symbolically raised the crowbar and decided to do her best.
However, the crowbar suddenly flew out of her hands and spun like a propeller. It brushed over Big Black's head and towards the incoming zombies.
The crowbar was extremely fierce. It instantly knocked down the zombies before falling to the floor with a clang.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never seen anyone use a crowbar like this.
Bei Nuan glanced at Lu Xingchi. Big Bro, that effect you created is too exaggerated. Are you filming a martial arts movie?
Big Black looked at Bei Nuan's thin arms in horror. He couldn't believe that she had thrown such a deadly crowbar.
Lu Xingchi smiled, went over to pick up the crowbar, and handed it to Bei Nuan. He lightly said, "It's just a few zombies. You don't need to do anything. I'll handle them."
He spoke as if Bei Nuan was hiding her real abilities.
Big Black was shocked by Bei Nuan's propeller crowbar and didn't dare to speak flippantly.
After this, Lu Xingchi didn't hold back as much. He easily controlled the scene, and there was almost no need for others to take action.
They finally killed their way to the first circled place. It was a bedroom in the west wing that was connected to the main building.
The bedroom was enormous with extremely luxurious decorations. It looked as if the owner wished the floor could be tiled with gold.
Captain Zheng took off his big backpack, took out a list, and started putting the listed items into his backpack.
Bei Nuan paid attention to what he was collecting and was a bit speechless by the items: a gold-plated ashtray, a diamond-encrusted cigar box, a few silk ties, a few luxury watches, etc.
Big Black frankly said what she thought before she voiced her thoughts, "We took such a big risk and killed so many zombies to get here. And it's just to get this stuff?"
The skinny man interjected, "We don't have the stuff that these bigshots want in the base. They're not used to living without these luxury items."
Captain Zheng had his bow and quiver on his back as he crouched down to meticulously collect the items on the list.
His tone and expression was indifferent. "As long as they pay for these goods and don't drag out the payment period, I don't care even if they ask me to fetch a dog bowl."
Bei Nuan looked at him and thought; it was just 30 days of meal tickets. With his strength, he shouldn't care about that, which meant he didn't come for those meal tickets. So, he must be here for Taipingmen.
Bei Nuan spoke. "What kind of place is Taipingmen?"
At the same time, Lu Xingchi also asked, "What kind of place is Taipingmen?"
They were thinking about the same thing, and their thoughts collided. They looked at each other and smiled.
Big Black answered before Captain Zheng could speak, "We live in those shabby buildings in the mining area while those wealthy and powerful people live elsewhere. They live in a resort by a lake that's further into the base. There's a club called Taipingmen there, which is supposed to be very fun."
Bei Nuan carefully thought about it. The team didn't go that deeply into the base in the novel. They only went to the mining dormitory before leaving. What was hiding deeper inside the base?
Captain Zheng interrupted Big Black, "It doesn't matter how fun it is. It has nothing to do with us."
Bei Nuan asked Captain Zheng, "Who is the person that entrusted us to fetch things?"
Captain Zheng silently put items into the backpack. After a while, he finally said, "It's a rich business person with the last name Yin. On the surface, he was in the tea business in M country."
His meaning was very clear. The tea business was just a cover. Who knows what he was doing covertly?
The skinny man interjected from the side, "Everyone knows Boss Yin. He's the owner of Taipingmen."
Captain Zheng collected a few sets of silk pajamas, carefully folded them up, and put them into his backpack as if he was worried about damaging them. And then, he took out the map.
"We have to go to another place." He glanced at the map. "It's a study."
The precious study was in the east wing of the main building.
Bei Nuan thought; it was pretty good that the study was so far from the bedroom. The owner could get exercise every morning just from walking to the study.
With Lu Xingchi controlling the field, Bei Nuan followed behind and drifted into her thoughts.
Absolute Obedience was still ticking down. Bei Nuan thought there was a bug to this ability. If she ordered people to obey her for the rest of their lives, would they really be a puppet for the rest of their lives?
That didn't seem realistic.
It was unfortunate the description was so brief. Bei Nuan opened the taskbar and tried her best to dig out more useful information. Sure enough, there was an inconspicuous little triangle by the lower right corner of the task name.
Bei Nuan opened the triangle with her mind and saw the small print inside. Ability remains in effect for five minutes. Memory wipe is also five minutes.
And below that, there was a list of names. There were only two names. Lu Xingchi and Zheng Yin. That seemed to be Captain Zheng's full name.
Bei Nuan understood. The obedience would last for five minutes. After it was over, the last five minutes would be erased from the target's memory.
As it turned out, she only had to use the ability every five minutes. She didn't have to recite the incantation every time she gave an order like she had done earlier in the jeep with Lu Xingchi.
After walking for a long time, they finally reached the study. Everyone was visibly relieved. They could return back to town after collecting the items in the study.
The study door opened with a twist of the doorknob.
