Chapter 480 - The Ruthless Female Demon
Chapter 480: The Ruthless Female Demon
With Yu Huang as the supervisor, Beatrice brought her adjutant to the Shicheng Pier.
Although the docks had 13 test windows, they still felt that the workload was huge and progress was slow. More and more citizens were rushing to the docks, and the queue was getting longer and longer.
Most of the citizens didn’t have gas masks in their homes. Who would prepare that kind of thing? Few families even had masks.
The death curse broke out too suddenly. The pharmacy and gas masks had long been sold out, so most of the people queuing at the harbor didn’t have gas masks.
Those with masks wore masks, and those without masks directly covered their faces with silk scarves. Of course, there were also many people who were magnanimous and thought that they would be the lucky ones in this disaster and that the death curse wouldn’t spread to them. Thus, they didn’t take any precautions.
Su Qianqian’s manager’s surname was Qin, and his name was Qin Hengzhi.
Qin Hengzhi saw that the 13 lines were long. He thought about it and turned to Su Qianqian and the assistant. “Wait here for a while. I’ll see if I can cut the line.” Hearing that, Su Qianqian and the assistant nodded cooperatively and stood on the spot to wait for orders.
Qin Hengzhi was in a suit and leather shoes with a gas mask on his head. He looked out of place with the surrounding citizens who hadn’t taken any defensive measures.
Qin Hengzhi chose the middle line. He squeezed to the front of the line and aimed at an ordinary-looking, dark-skinned farmer with cracked hands. “Sir!” Qin Hengzhi took the initiative to greet him.
The farmer looked at Qin Hengzhi warily and didn’t speak.
Qin Hengzhi leaned close to his ear and lowered his voice. “Do me a favor. I’ll give you money for you to sell me three seats, okay?” This man was at the front of the line. According to the speed of the officers’ testing, it would be their turn in about half an hour.
And it would take at least two to three hours for it to be the turn of those at the back of the line.
In two to three hours, who knew how many infected people would be found?
The longer they stayed in the Prosperous Capital, the greater the risk of infection. In order to leave this place as soon as possible, Qin Heng could only choose this method.
When the farmer heard this, his dark eyes immediately revealed greed.
He rubbed his hands and asked Qin Hengzhi, “How much are you giving me?!” The farmer saw that the suit Qin Hengzhi was wearing was very high-end and that he was wearing a famous watch with complicated workmanship on his wrist. He pretended to be serious and said, “It’s a matter of life and death. If you buy three spots from me, you’re buying three lives.”
The corners of Qin Heng’s lips curled up mockingly, but he was wearing a mask, so the farmer couldn’t see it at all.
“500,000 yuan per seat. Are you willing to make a deal?” Three seats was worth 1.5 million yuan. Any single one of Su Qianqian’s advertisement payments was worth more than that.
When the farmer heard this, he was instantly tempted.
“Sure.” The eldest brother took out his bank card and said to Qin Hengzhi, “Transfer it now.”
Qin Hengzhi opened his phone bank and entered a huge sum of 1.5 million in front of the other party. Then, he took out his bank card and placed it beside the bank card of the farmer. After sensing the other party’s account, Qin Hengzhi transferred the money without hesitation.
After receiving Qin Hengzhi’s money, the farmer nodded in satisfaction and said, “Happy cooperation.”
1.5 million.
That was a huge sum of money that he would have to work hard for half his life to earn. He really struck it rich today.
The person in front moved, but the man didn’t. Qin Hengzhi quickly stood in front of the man when the officers weren’t paying attention.
Seeing Qin Hengzhi cut the line, the people at the back were instantly unhappy. “Hey, why are you cutting the line?! Hurry up and get out! Otherwise, I’ll call an officer!”
The officer was patrolling with a gun. As long as someone reported Qin Hengzhi, he would definitely suffer.
Qin Hengzhi pulled the farmer over and swapped places with him. He turned around and explained to the young man behind him, “Don’t be angry. I’m not cutting the queue. This is my father-in-law. I just went back to pick up my wife and brother-in-law, so I was delayed.”
As he spoke, Qin Hengzhi took off his watch without hesitation and stuffed it into the young man’s hand. He said in a low voice, “Young man, please do me a favor.”
The young man was wearing a white sweater, black pants, and a baseball hat. He was quite discerning.
He recognized at a glance that the watch Qin Heng had given him was worth more than 300,000 yuan. He immediately stopped complaining.
“… Okay.”
After settling the people around him, Qin Hengzhi took out his phone and called Su Qianqian. “Come over. There’s a seat.”
Soon, Su Qianqian walked over with her assistant.
Today, Su Qianqian was wearing a black strapless dress with rows of Swarovski diamonds on it. Her fair thighs were exposed under the dress. She squeezed through the crowd and attracted the attention of many citizens.
The migrant worker was stunned.
This woman was really beautiful!
There must be a beautiful face hidden under her gas mask.
Su Qianqian stood in front of Qin Hengzhi. Qin Hengzhi shielded her body and whispered into her ear, “One and a half million for three people.”
Su Qianqian saw that the line in front was getting shorter and shorter. She said, “I can earn more if I lose the money.” However, if she lost her life, she would really lose everything. Su Qianqian looked down at her arm. It looked fine after she applied makeup.
However, Su Qianqian was still very nervous.
She stared at the test entrance in front of her uneasily. She saw three people standing in front of each test entrance, an officer and two Beast Tamers. She immediately felt her heart race.
There was actually a Beast Tamer!
There was a barrier between the cultivation world and the ordinary people. To the ordinary people, Beast Tamers were legendary figures. Today, she suddenly saw dozens of high-level Beast Tamers. Su Qianqian wasn’t excited.
She only felt despair and fear.
It was said that Beast Tamers were all very powerful. Would they see through her disguise?
She thought, “God, please let me pass the test!
I don’t want to die!”
At this moment, a man’s cry suddenly sounded from the fourth test entrance. “Sir! Sir, let me go over! My children and wife are all in Myriad Tong City. I have to go over and reunite with them!” The man knelt in front of the test entrance and grabbed the pants of a Beast Tamer tightly.
A black blood vessel was faintly discernible on his arm.
He was infected.
Sheng Wuque felt terrible when he saw the man crying. “You’re infected.” Sheng Wuque couldn’t bear to see him like this, but he had no choice but to forcefully pull the man’s hand away and call an officer to send him back.
When Su Qianqian saw this, her beautiful face under the mask turned pale with fright.
She absolutely couldn’t be discovered!
At this moment, Su Qianqian heard Qin Hengzhi say, “Who is that? Is it a Beast Tamer?” On the roof of the ticketing building at the harbor, there were two people standing, a man on the left and a woman on the right. The man on the left was wearing a blue casual shirt and a gas mask on his face. His neck was fair and there was a small mole beside his Adam’s apple.
Hearing Qin Hengzhi’s words, Su Qianqian looked up, but her gaze went to the woman on the roof.
The woman was tall and wore black gladiators. Her high-waisted shorts wrapped around her buttocks, and her loose white shirt was tucked into her high-waisted pants. Her sexy waist was clearly visible. She wasn’t wearing a gas mask, but her head was wrapped in a gradually turning red gauze. The gauze covered half of her face, revealing a pair of sharp eyes.
Su Qianqian felt that the person looked familiar, but she couldn’t associate her with anyone she knew.
At this moment, the man who was escorted away by the officer suddenly broke down and shouted, “I don’t want to leave! I want to leave and go to Myriad Tong City to see my wife and child!” The man suddenly pushed the officer, but the officer was strong, and the man was unable to push him away.
“Let go of me!” The man cried at the officer. “Let me go. I want to board the ship and see my family!”
Unable to break free, the man started punching and kicking the officer.
In front of everyone, the officer naturally couldn’t attack the citizens of the Divine Moon Empire.
He wanted to subdue the other party, but the man actually felt resentment. He grabbed the gas mask on the officer’s face and spat on his face. “Pfft!” The man reached out and grabbed the officer’s face while cursing, “You bastard, you’re just a dog raised by the Divine Moon Empire!”
The officer’s face was scratched, but he still held the man’s arm tightly and refused to let him board the ship.
At this moment, Su Qianqian saw the woman standing on the roof move.
The mysterious woman waved her right hand indifferently, and immediately, a red psychic power flew out of her hand. The psychic power transformed into a dagger in the void and shot into the man’s glabella.
“Let me… go!” Before the man could finish speaking, his eyes widened and he fell to the ground.
Before he died, he saw the woman in the veil fly down from the roof and land beside him. She said expressionlessly, “Anyone who leaves the city without permission will be killed.”
When the surrounding citizens saw this, they immediately shrank their heads and didn’t dare to look into the woman’s eyes.
Su Qianqian was stunned when she heard Yu Huang’s voice.
She and Yu Huang were fake friends after all. Su Qianqian was very familiar with Yu Huang’s voice.
So, that person was… Yu Huang?
Yu Huang turned around to face the officer whose face had been scratched by the man.
The officer was also stunned.
He probably knew that he was infected.
Yu Huang held the officer’s hand and closed her eyes. She used her psychic power to carefully investigate the changes in his body.
As expected, she sensed a black energy body in the other party’s body. Yu Huang tried to use her psychic power to help it purify those things, but her psychic power only had a purifying effect on evil spirits and grievous energy. It was useless against the Death Curse.
Yu Huang let go of the officer’s hand and looked at him apologetically. “I’m sorry, I can’t help you get rid of the Death Curse.”
The officer looked at Yu Huang as he said, “I’m an orphan. I have a sister at home who’s studying at Feng An High School. After I die, please give the payment to my sister.” With that said, the officer quickly took out the gun at his waist, aimed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang!
The officer fell to the ground.
Yu Huang watched this scene in a daze as tears flickered in her eyes.
Sheng Xiao flew down from the top floor. He saw that the officer’s eyes were open, so he bent down and closed his eyes.
Sheng Xiao stood up and looked at Yu Huang. He saw that she was about to cry, but she pretended to be calm and held back her tears.
Sheng Xiao held Yu Huang’s fingertip.
Yu Huang raised her head and looked at him. She couldn’t help but say, “If only psychic power could neutralize the power of the Death Curse.” If psychic power could neutralize the power of the Death Curse, she was willing to sacrifice herself.
Sheng Xiao pinched Yu Huang’s fingertip. “Only God is omnipotent. You are just my Yu Huang.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Huang was instantly comforted.
She nodded and said, “I’m fine. Keep working.”
Yu Huang walked to test number 8 while Sheng Xiao went to test number 1.
The citizen at checkpoint 8 had just witnessed Yu Huang killing someone. At this moment, when he saw Yu Huang walking towards their test window, he immediately lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at Yu Huang. He was afraid that Yu Huang would kill him too.
Yu Huang stood in front of the test entrance with her arms crossed. As she supervised the situation at all the test entrances, she listened to the citizens’ thoughts—
[What a terrifying woman. She’s cold and heartless!]
[Damn woman, I hope you’ll be infected too!]
[A murderous demoness!]
Yu Huang heard those thoughts, but she remained calm.
