Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Last Day Tycoon (26)
Lu Ran was in so much pain that Chuzheng couldn’t do anything about it, and wanted to just let him fend for himself.

Chuzheng suddenly thought of the Crystal Core.

She took out the ice-blue Crystal Core.

Then the question arose.

How do Special Ability Users absorb a Special Ability?

Do they crush it and swallow it?

Chuzheng tightened her little face, not caring anymore, and just fed it to him.

Chuzheng forcefully fed the Crystal Core to Lu Ran.

After the Crystal Core was ingested, Lu Ran’s condition gradually improved, clearly having an effect.

But Lu Ran was still feverish, incessantly sticking to her body.

Chuzheng gripped his wrist, Yin Xian winding around the young man’s fingertips, entwining his wrist.

The young man gradually became docile, his breathing also steadied.

Chuzheng removed his hand and sat to one side.

“Mm…” the young man leaned his head over.

“…”

Chuzheng resisted the urge and opened her arms to let the young man lie in her embrace.

The young man nuzzled her fingers and fell asleep peacefully.

–

Lu Ran woke up in the middle of the night.

The caravan had already set off; it was too hot during the day, and traveling in the middle of the night was slightly better.

Lu Ran lay in Chuzheng’s embrace, silently maintaining that position.

The heartbeat sound by his ear was steady.

It was her heartbeat.

Honestly, when he was in the basement, his mind was terribly dark and malicious, filled with malice.

But at this moment, Lu Ran felt extremely peaceful.

His fingertips moved slightly, slowly placing his hand across Chuzheng’s waist, holding her tight.

Chuzheng hadn’t fallen asleep; when Lu Ran moved, she adjusted her sitting position, allowing the young man to sleep more comfortably in her arms.

The young man lifted his head slightly.

Chuzheng looked down, meeting the young man’s sleepy, misty eyes.

“You…”

The young man seemed embarrassed.

It appeared he hadn’t expected her to be awake.

Her heartbeat was so steady, and her breathing was very shallow; he had thought she was asleep.

“Hmm?”

The young man lowered his gaze, but didn’t let go of her, and since he had been caught, he frankly tightened his embrace.

Chuzheng pinched his earlobe, her tone indifferent as she reminded, “Don’t hold so tight, it’s uncomfortable.”

With his earlobe iced, the young man felt as if an electric current had surged through his body.

Why was she pinching him!

But she released after just a pinch, not giving him a chance to react.

He could only silently suppress that bit of discomfort.

“Your Special Ability…”

The young man shivered all over, and Chuzheng could feel his body stiffen.

The young man placed his hand over her mouth, looking ahead.

Yi Xiao was driving, and the others were all sleeping; their whispers were drowned out by other sounds, so Yi Xiao should not have heard them.

The young man’s fingertips pressed against Chuzheng’s lips, the softness under his fingers making him release her like an electric shock.

The young man edged closer, intentionally leaning towards her to whisper into her ear, “Could you please not tell anyone that I have a Special Ability?”

“Why?”

The young man puffed his cheeks slightly, his rosy lips looking particularly tempting.

“Because you’re a good person.” The young man blinked, “Will you keep my secret, please?”

A Special Ability like that could become an ace for survival.

“Okay.”

A request with a Good Person Card should be agreed upon.

And a Good Person Card should be looked after well.

Lu Ran smiled at Chuzheng, his lips parted about to speak, but before he could say anything, his lips were sealed by another, followed by a cool, soft tongue pressing past his lips, prying them open.

Lu Ran’s pupils slightly dilated.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated like it was on fast-forward, thundering uncontrollably.

The cool touch on his lips left, and Lu Ran finally snapped back to reality. He stared at Chuzheng, “Why… why did you kiss me?”

Chuzheng was nothing if not righteous, “It felt good.”

“…” Feel good? How could you, a girl, do such a thing!

Lu Ran raised his hand to wipe his lips, somewhat annoyed. He actually found it quite pleasant…

It was as if her taste still lingered between his lips, causing a faint reaction in Lu Ran.

Lu Ran: “…”

“Let’s sleep.”

Lu Ran: “…”

I really need to be able to sleep now!

This woman was definitely harboring ill intentions toward him.

Lu Ran thought about getting up to clear his head.

But since Chuzheng was holding him, Lu Ran would have to ask her to let go first.

He lowered his voice, “Let go of me.”

“Why?” Chuzheng thought Lu Ran was dissatisfied because she kissed him, “Then you can kiss me back.”

Lu Ran: “…”

He wouldn’t kiss her for anything!

In the end, Lu Ran still couldn’t escape Chuzheng’s clutches.

Lu Ran pulled his hat down, resignedly leaning on her to sleep; why should he, a grown man, make such a fuss? It’s not like he was the one at a loss.

–

Chuzheng returned to the base with a large amount of supplies, and a crowd formed a long line just to watch.

“All these goods?”

“There are still several more cars behind that haven’t come in…”

“I heard there are several trucks full of food alone; how lucky are they?”

“I heard there were hardly any casualties.”

The onlookers gossiped and pointed at the convoy, which temporarily entered the first floor parking lot of the base. Everyone would check the supplies before they were brought in.

Those with special abilities completed their inspections quickly. Chuzheng, having no special ability, took a bit longer.

After she passed the inspection and looked after Lu Ran, someone came to notify her that something had happened in the parking lot.

“What happened?”

Brother Bao was furious, “The military in the base suddenly appeared, claiming they wanted to take away those supplies.”

“The military?”

“Yeah, they’re so shameless,” Brother Bao cursed under his breath.

Chuzheng followed Brother Bao to the parking lot, where the special ability users from her team were confronting the military personnel.

Upon Chuzheng’s arrival, people on her side immediately cleared a path for her, the scene as grand as if a boss had stepped in with their own BGM.

“Are you the person in charge of this team?” A man wearing ill-fitting military clothes on the military side looked her up and down casually.

The people behind him were also a mess, wearing their military uniforms in odd ways that didn’t seem like they belonged to proper soldiers.

And indeed, they weren’t.

These uniforms were left behind by soldiers who had been sacrificed within the army.

“What do you want?” Chuzheng stood at the front, coldly regarding the man.

“Heh.” The man scoffed, suddenly raising his voice, “You people are absolutely heartless, to turn against your own comrades. Who knows how you obtained these supplies!”

It wasn’t just them in the parking lot; there were others too.

Most of them were watching the drama unfold at this point.

Upon hearing the man’s words, whispers inexplicably grew louder.

Chuzheng caught on to the man’s insinuation.

He was suggesting that she had stolen these supplies.

“Turn against who?”

The man inadvertently glanced in a certain direction, and Chuzheng followed his gaze.

There stood Ning You, appearing uninterested in hiding; when Chuzheng looked her way, Ning You revealed a smug, provocative smile.

That detestable dog who had pulled her hair again!

“Hand over these supplies and leave the base; we’ll let this matter slide!” The man stood tall.

Chuzheng glanced at Brother Yong.

Brother Yong, holding a gun, sarcastically watched the farce unfold. Suddenly, he caught Chuzheng’s gaze and looked back at her, puzzled.

Can’t he watch the show?

Brother Bao understood her intention and threw a ball of fire over there. Only then did Brother Yong respond, swinging his gun in an arc near the man’s feet.

The man’s companions jumped back in fright, retreating.

Chuzheng crossed her arms, wearing the air of a boss, “Whose supplies did I steal, huh?”

The man: “…”
