Chapter 293 - 254: Reborn Several Times and Still Not Doing Well

Chapter 293: Chapter 254: Reborn Several Times and Still Not Doing Well

Yin Shuangyang laced his fingers together, rhythmically tapping his crossed index fingers.

"The story you’re telling is tempting, but it has too many holes. If the future me wanted you to pass on a message... you’d at least know my personal cell phone number."

"I told you, you died too early. You didn’t know my real ability at first. It’s my biggest secret and my trump card, the thing that allowed me to prepare a large amount of supplies to survive the apocalypse. Think about it, would I just go around telling people? Grab some random person and tell them I can be reborn? Isn’t that the same as announcing I have tons of supplies and that they should come rob me?"

Yin Shuangyang nodded slightly. If he had an ability like that, he, too, would definitely keep it secret and try to become a god all by himself.

Yu Dong’s explanation fit the psychology of a normal person.

"Go on."

"We met at Huangyang Port. You must have fled all the way from the Twin Towers to Huangyang Port. You were waiting for someone to pick you up, but it was extremely dangerous back then. There were zombies everywhere. Your subordinate was bitten and killed by a zombie. I had a pre-prepared shelter over there, so I took you in for the time being."

Yin Shuangyang’s mind started racing as he followed Yu Dong’s story. He began to realize who his future self must have been waiting for...

Zou Long.

He would only contact Zou Long when he ran into a situation he truly couldn’t handle, one that required force.

An apocalypse, with zombies... that was certainly not something he could handle. He would need weapons.

He had no weapons in the country. Besides, the domestic situation was stable now; there was no danger that required carrying a firearm.

So... he would absolutely contact Zou Long overseas at the first possible moment to come pick him up, and Huangyang Port was indeed the closest port.

What Yu Dong described was exactly the choice he would have made.

"This is getting interesting."

"Back then, the two of us stayed together for a while and cleared out the surrounding zombies. Then your brother overseas ran into some kind of trouble—we don’t know what—and never showed up. Later, his phone became unreachable. So we recruited a few sailors, got a boat, and prepared to set sail for your secret base to get weapons. Unfortunately..."

"Hm? What happened?"

The more Yin Shuangyang listened, the more engrossed he became, showing immense interest. When Yu Dong paused, it was like a Chapter ending on a cliffhanger; he grew anxious.

"A type of mutated zombie appeared in the sea, one that could leap onto the deck and devour people. We didn’t spot it in time. You were pretty unlucky and got bitten. I managed to kill that zombie, but I couldn’t save you. You were going to turn in just a few minutes. Seeing you were about to die, and knowing how badly you wanted to know how I prepared everything in advance... I decided to tell you my secret so you could die knowing the truth. I told you that I can be reborn infinitely. Then, in the final moments of your life, you gave me two key pieces of information. You told me that if I returned to this time, I absolutely had to find you..."

"One was the ledger, the other... Wait a minute. Even if you knew about the ledger, how could you possibly have memorized it? Even I can’t remember the entire thing."

"Originally, you only told me the ledger’s location and the first page. But I was afraid that wouldn’t be enough to earn your trust. In my past life, I led a team to blow open the bank vault, took out your ledger... and memorized all of it."

"Interesting. And the other piece of information?"

"The other was a set of coordinates—Zou Long’s location. The coordinates are latitude XX°XX′, longitude XX°XX′. You also said there was a heavy machine gun on the boat."

Hearing this, Yin Shuangyang, who had been sitting the whole time, shot to his feet. His fierce eyes swept over Yu Dong from across the desk.

He knew... the man standing before him definitely possessed a superhuman ability!

Because only he himself knew those coordinates. It was Zou Long’s overseas hideout, and also his own final retreat...

Unless Zou Long had betrayed him, it was impossible for anyone else to know.

And Zou Long would never betray him. Besides their years of brotherhood, he was also Zou Long’s financial backer. He was the one paying to support Zou Long and his crew.

Zou Long was a wanted fugitive; he couldn’t return to the country unless there were special circumstances.

If Zou Long sold his information, leading to Yin Shuangyang being plotted against... Zou Long would gain nothing from it.

He understood this brother of his; he was loyal and shrewd.

"And then? What else did I tell you?"

"Not much else. When you’re bitten directly by a zombie, the virus spreads incredibly fast. You only had a few minutes. You spent most of that time listening to my story... It was only when your consciousness was starting to fade that you hurriedly told me those two secrets. You said if I managed to find you, you would give me a hundred million, and you could lead me to dominate the apocalypse. So, what do you say, President Yin? I’m here now. We can talk about whether or not we cooperate later, but is the information I have worth a hundred million? If you still don’t believe me... I’ll take my leave. I have my own preparations to make for the apocalypse."

Yin Shuangyang pondered for a moment, then a broad smile instantly spread across his face. He walked out from behind his desk, extended a hand, and strode quickly toward Yu Dong.

"Brother Yu! I’m so glad you came! A hundred million to make friends with someone who can be reborn infinitely? That’s more than worth it!"

"Secretary, brew my best tea and bring it in!"

"For lunch, arrange a ministerial-level welcome banquet for my brother. I’m going to have a good couple of drinks with him."

The chief secretary came in, noted down Yin Shuangyang’s requests, and left to make the arrangements.

Then, Yin Shuangyang grasped Yu Dong’s hands, sat him down on the sofa, and personally straightened his clothes.

"My apologies, brother. You know how it is in my position... a lot of people are envious. I have to be careful about security. I truly had no idea who you were..."
