Chapter 1334: Chapter 970, You Won

The plane was bumpy, and ripples spread across the teacup.

The rest of the journey, the Lady did not come out again.

But the Demon Soul Pot remained open, and the sounds outside could be heard.

Now, even if not restrained, the Lady wouldn’t escape. She was waiting for this gamble to be reversed, to mock him properly.

With the bet between both parties reaching this extent, when they reached the place and found the old city of the Shang Dynasty, she wouldn’t dare to backtrack.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and glanced over at the three Ghosts watching a movie.

Then looked back.

By then, with the Lady joining, he would have four Ghosts.

First, he would level her up, and once they were familiar, he would probe about her Skills and the Bronze Key.

In ancient times, people could travel between two worlds—was it also because of this key?

"Wait! A thousand years ago, did they even have the concept of locks and keys?"

How come he remembered in TV dramas, they used door bolts!

By then, see what she says!

And then there’s the "Unfinished Wish," hopefully this time it can be unlocked directly.

If she still has some wish uncompleted from more than a thousand years ago, it would be troublesome.

Thinking about it now, it all feels somewhat magical.

Investigating all the way here, it turns out that the Otherworld and his own had such an early connection.

If not for the vast differences in race, one might even suspect that the Human Race was just a group who migrated across dimensions.

Were it not for his personal experience, if someone else told him about it, he would think they were hallucinating on a full stomach.

But one has to admit, it does feel somewhat magical.

...

The plane landed at Anyang Airport.

He released the Skeleton ’Shanshan’ from the Mansion Skill, and proceeded towards the ancient city.

Sitting on Shanshan’s back, the fierce cold wind roared in the high skies.

Four Ghosts flew on either side, accompanying him, while the Lady looked at the sprawling architectural complex below, her eyes constantly changing.

Spires reaching the sky, gigantic bridges spanning rivers, abandoned vehicles clogging the streets.

All of this indicates that this is no longer the Gold and Silver Island, and may not even be the original world.

"Where... where is this?" the Lady’s voice was full of doubt.

Wu Heng said, "To find the ruins you mentioned. If you admit defeat now, I’ll count it as half a loss for you, and you can be a Maid later, just responsible for cleaning the front courtyard."

The moment he opened his mouth, she felt like he was trying to pull a fast one.

The Lady sneered, "I’ve seen through your tricks long ago. Finding such a place took quite an effort, huh? Thinking that by calling it a ruin, the original appearance couldn’t be recognized, and thus try to deceive me? Without substantive evidence, I won’t acknowledge it."

"You just keep being stubborn!" Wu Heng said.

"I think you’re the stubborn one... ."

Wu Heng tightened his collar, his voice carried away by the wind, "We’re almost there. Get ready to be a Maid."

"Hmph~!"

Below, the end of the modern buildings drew near, with a square ruin surrounded by walls emerging clearly.

Even though called ruins, it had now been transformed into a tourist area, carrying an ancient atmosphere and built with great splendor.

"There are guards on the walls, two of them at level five, they should be Superpowered Men," Bella whispered, drawing near.

Such walled structures in the era of a zombie outbreak were excellent defensive cities.

Many large bases relied on such locations to survive.

"Let’s go down," Wu Heng said.

Lightly tapping Shanshan’s back, he dove straight down, landing on the ground.

Wu Heng retrieved Shanshan back into the Mansion Skill and continued walking towards the ruins ahead.

The Lady followed behind, her eyes frequently darting to the buildings on both sides and the various gaudy billboards.

...

The walls were weathered, the rusted barbed wire on top clanged with the cold wind.

Looking up, one could see some guards wrapped in military coats or cold-weather gear, their gun barrels wrapped with anti-freezing cloth, the usual attire for survivors in the End of the World.

"Stop! Where are you from?" A voice called from above.

Wu Heng said, "Here to see the ruins."

"From Yama Hall?" The man raised an eyebrow.

Li Yahong had previously contacted the base here to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Yes!"

The gate opened, and a bearded man wearing a military coat, along with two others, walked down, saying, "Your Vice Leader has notified me in advance. You want to enter the scenic area, right!"

Wu Heng nodded, "Yes!"

"I’m the Captain here." The bearded man rubbed his hands together, the breath he exhaled froze on his beard, "Previously, to prevent Zombies, the roads were remodeled, leaving traps and dangers in many places. Two packs of cigarettes, and I’ll personally guide you in, avoiding questions about your identity at other entrances and any delay along the way."

He sure knew how to make a deal.

Making things simpler, Wu Heng didn’t mind, saying, "I don’t smoke, I’ll give you three sausages."

The few people raised their eyebrows, "Deal!"

Wu Heng reached into his pocket, and when he took it out, there were three thumb-thick sausages, which he handed over to them, "I’m in a hurry, let’s go."

"Alright, let’s go then." The Captain smiled, put away the sausages, and summoned an electric tricycle, "We’ll take the car."

Wu Heng got in the car, one drove, while the other two squeezed in, sitting across from him.

On the way, the person asked, "What’s your name?"

Wu Heng said, "Just call me Qiangzi."

"Qiangzi, did you come alone? You’ve got guts, a Superpowered Man? What stage are your abilities at?" The Captain asked, as if casually chatting.

"Have some means to survive." Wu Heng diverted the topic, "Do you guys get time off for the New Year?"

The two people opposite were stunned, "Time off? Do you guys rest for New Year? We can’t compare to your large bases, it’s hard to survive here, no such thing as time off."
