The World Is Ending And I Am Surrounded By Female Zombies

347 A Friendship Born of Conflict

George couldn’t stand it anymore.

He took off his coat and rushed directly to Zhang Guozhu.

Zhang Guozhu’s fight became significantly tougher. George appeared to be a rank-six.

However, Zhang Guozhu was not willing to admit defeat so quickly in front of Oman.

Even though he took a beating, Zhang Guozhu gritted his teeth and endured it.

Oman was so anxious that tears were flowing down her face.

“Guozhu, if you can’t do it, come back!” Oman shouted.

“Retreat? I, Zhang Guozhu, am a soldier of the nation!

“I’d rather die than retreat!”

Zhang Guozhu shouted, and his power burst out… Then, he was sent flying by a kick from George.

However, Zhang Guozhu did not relent. He seemed to be at the cusp of a breakthrough.

After another roar, Zhang Guozhu’s eyes lit up!

He had advanced!

He was now a rank-six Awakened!

Zhang Guozhu rushed to meet George, emboldened by his newfound strength.

However, Zhang Guozhu was merely a newborn rank-six. Even though his strength had improved, George was still the superior rank-six.

After fighting for a while, Zhang Guozhu found himself being pushed back again.

Lin Liye had just finished his second cigarette.

When he saw Zhang Guozhu staggering back yet again, Lin Liye flicked the cigarette aside and rushed to George.

George only felt a strong wind in his face. He instinctively jumped away from Zhang Guozhu and retreated.

Lin Liye’s strength had shocked George.

Judging from the wind generated by the punch, he was at least a rank-seven Awakened.

George was starting to regret his decision.

‘Why didn’t he just take the money and leave? Why was he so adamant on protecting his dignity?’

It was a little too late for regrets…

“My friend!

“Why don’t we just stop here?

“We were wrong. I’ll apologize to you!”

After thinking about it quickly, George decided to admit defeat.

He could live to see another day.

“Hmph…

“Even in times like these, business should be conducted with some basic decency. If you ever cross with the wrong customer, it could end badly for you.”

Lin Liye stood with his hands behind his back and spoke coldly.

“Yes, yes, yes. I understand.

“I’ll definitely reexamine my business when I get back.

“Come, come, come, friend, have a cigarette.”

George handed Lin Liye a foreign pack of cigarettes.

“I’m not used to smoking this. I’ll smoke mine.”

Lin Liye took out his own pack and gave one to George and another to Zhang Guozhu.

The three of them lit up their cigarettes and squatted together, smoking.

“Sir, you’re really strong. Are you here for a vacation?” George asked.

“We’re passing by. We’re waiting for a certain ship,” Lin Liye replied.

“A ship? Somalia’s waters have always been treacherous. Even now, that hasn’t changed.

“Pirates won’t stop being pirates so easily.

“I hope your ship is safe,” George said.

“It’s fine, our ship… is quite a formidable one.”

Lin Liye remembered Wang Ran saying that they had an actual a battleship…

“You too, you have a stout heart.

“You actually advanced in the middle of the battle. I’m impressed.”

George expressed his goodwill to Zhang Guozhu again.

“I can’t afford to get left behind. I’m the weakest among the group.”

Zhang Guozhu grinned.

“What?!”

George shuddered.

...

This man was not much weaker than him. He was the weakest link of his group?

What a group of freaks!

Fortunately, he had admitted defeat in time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know if there would be a corpse left of him.

“Everyone, since you’re here, you’re our guests.

“I don’t have much, but I do have a lot of people under me.

“From Awakened Ones to female zombies, they come in all shapes, sizes and specialties.

“If you guys are ever interested, feel free to come and find me. I promise to provide you with the best service.”

George continued to show his goodwill.

“Ah, this…

“That’s too much.”

Lin Liye still had a trace of integrity in his heart.

...

“Captain Lin, didn’t you want to research that important topic?

“Isn’t this just right?!

“We can only grasp more accurate data with a larger sample size.”

Zhang Guozhu persuaded him.

“That’s true…”

Lin Liye nodded.

Zhang Guozhu’s words made sense.

He had already taken the first step, so it was no big deal to take another step.

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to my best place. It’s a one-stop bath and massage service. You can stay there tonight.”

George invited him enthusiastically.

“A-Alright then.”

Lin Liye nodded.

This was for the people.

“I’m not going. I’m worried about Oman being here alone.”

Zhang Guozhu’s face turned red.

Although Oman sometimes intimidated him with her size, she had a good personality.

Something seemed to have developed between the two of them.

“Alright, please come with me.”

George led Lin Liye and the rest of his men toward the big bathhouse.

Zhang Guozhu and Oman held hands and walked back to the cabin.

Zhang Guozhu’s strength had improved, and he needed to consolidate it…

At the same time, in another wooden house, Lin Shuang was playing cards with Wang Ran and the others.

“Double!”

“Flush!”

“Lin Shuang, you now owe us 9,000 grams of gold!” Tang Tang said gloatingly.

“Ah…

“That’s a lot!”

Lin Shuang shuddered.

Originally, when Tang Tang suggested a game of cards, Lin Shuang believed that it was an opportunity to win the money back.

How did she end up losing every single round?!

Her debt had actually increased from 1,000 grams to 9,000 grams!

How was she supposed to repay this?!

Just the interest alone would be nine times a day!

“Tang Tang…

“Can you make an exception for this…”

Lin Shuang’s eyes were red, and she looked severely distressed.

“At this rate, you’ll never keep up with the interest alone.

“Let me give you a proposal.

“900 times, a 20 year mortgage, with interest…

“That would be three times a day.

“It’s reasonable, right?” Tang Tang asked with a smile.

“That’s reasonable!”

Lin Shuang quickly nodded.

This was much more reasonable than the previous daily interest of 1%.

She could pay this off in 20 years.

“Alright! Then you can start paying your debt today!

“Xiaoyu, Momo, come and have supper with me.

“It’s Lin Shuang’s first time paying off a debt. We can’t have her doing it with us around, right?”

Tang Tang held Su Xiaoyu and Lin Momo’s hands and walked out.

Wang Ran was at a loss for words.

Tang Tang was a conniving little fox! She could have easily been a conwoman back in the civilized age.con woman

Any regular person would be duped by her.

Lin Shuang used to be a prim and proper lady, but now she was paying off a debt with her body…
