Chapter 300: Chapter 256: The Old Man and the Entrepreneur

Yu Dong stared at Yin Shuangyang. He hadn’t expected him to go and capture Xufeng and the others directly.

"If you don’t believe me anymore, then we can just terminate our cooperation. Just pretend the apocalypse is fake."

"No, no, no... You’ve misunderstood me, Brother Yu. I’m not trying to provoke you, but to give myself some insurance. Since you told them the lottery numbers, you must have a very good relationship, right? You don’t have a family, so the most important people to you are your friends, aren’t they? I think you’re quite the loyal type. Would you want to watch them die? So, from now on, let’s have your three friends be my guests here. If any of your information turns out to be wrong... then your three friends will die. This is just a way to protect myself. It’s perfectly reasonable, don’t you think?"

Yu Dong stared at Yin Shuangyang. "Yin Shuangyang, aren’t you afraid of the blowback? Retribution is coming, it’s just a matter of time..."

"Yu Dong, if you’re smart, you’ll know that what I said yesterday was true. I have no reason to harm an infinite Reincarnator. Why would I? Not only will I not harm you, but I also won’t harm your friends. They’ll stay here until the apocalypse arrives, until everything you’ve said has been verified. Then, they’ll be free. When that time comes, I will personally apologize to your three friends. And for the few days they’re here... they can have anything they want. Do they like women? I’ll call over a few minor celebrities and top influencers to keep you all entertained."

Yin Shuangyang’s words gradually calmed Yu Dong down.

"When did you abduct them?"

"Last night. Your school’s dorm building is very easy to get into. It was just a slight disturbance to their sleep."

"When do you plan on letting them go?"

"After the apocalypse arrives and everything is proven true... We’re partners now, Brother Yu. What’s the point of you messing around with these trivial plans? Everything they’re doing is useless. The only place they’ll be truly safe is here with us. By the way, if there’s anyone else who knows the secret... you can give them a call. Tell them to stop wasting their energy. They can just come here and wait."

"There’s no one else. Untie my roommates. Let them stay here. We can continue..."

Yu Dong gradually began to feel relieved.

But as he looked at Huang Zhiqiang... he couldn’t for the life of him figure it out. ’How could Huang do something so stupid?’

’To think, the problem came from his own team...’

’Unbelievable.’

"Untie our three friends. Get the therapists in here to give them massages."

"Oh, and Brother Yu... your noodles are cold."

By capturing Xufeng and his two friends, Yin Shuangyang had Yu Dong by the throat. If Yu Dong did anything to betray him, the three of them would immediately die with him, and Yu Dong himself would be gunned down by Yin Shuangyang’s men.

This wasn’t a plan he’d concocted last night; he had given the orders that very afternoon. He just hadn’t expected Yu Dong to be an orphan. Since they couldn’t grab his family, they had to make do with his friends.

Besides, since Yu Dong was willing to tell them about his reincarnation, and those two were willing to back him up so staunchly... their relationship was clearly something special.

’He’d grabbed the right people.’

...

Yu Dong continued planning for the post-apocalypse with Yin Shuangyang that day. He understood the point of Yin Shuangyang’s story about the old man and the entrepreneur: as long as their interests aligned, Yin Shuangyang wouldn’t harm him.

Yin Shuangyang was different from Qiao Yunliang; Yu Dong could tell that much from his past life.

Yin Shuangyang believed in a next life, that everything could repeat... but Qiao Yunliang didn’t.

’Therefore, for the sake of a potential next life, Yin Shuangyang wouldn’t actually move against me. It’s just as he said... he only wants some insurance.’

For the time being, Yu Dong wasn’t worried about the safety of Xufeng and his two friends. He knew he wouldn’t be in any danger himself, either.

’The biggest problem now is... with Xufeng and the others captured, my entire core team is out of contact!’

’This is the most critical blow!’

’Especially the more vulnerable ones like Liu Ye’ye and Shen Xinyi... If they can’t find the team, will something happen to them?’

’If I have Yin Shuangyang bring them over before the apocalypse, it would ensure their safety, but... that would just give Yin Shuangyang another one of my vulnerabilities to exploit.’

’I’d rather let them face the zombies.’

Yu Dong was incredibly frustrated, but he couldn’t contact any of them right now.

Because he had understood the look Xufeng had just given him.

’[The Reincarnator’s Handbook (Part 1)] was hidden by them. Yin Shuangyang hadn’t found it.’

’Yin Shuangyang still doesn’t know about my plan...’

’That was the one silver lining in this whole mess.’

Yu Dong first steadied himself, pretending he had come to terms with the situation, and continued to strategize with Yin Shuangyang...

...

Sun Yu and his men waited all morning for Zhao Youcai, but he never showed up and they couldn’t reach him by phone. Finally, with a SLAM on the table, they left!

"Damn it, the lottery numbers were wrong, and the guy’s a flake. What a joke! Let’s go, let’s go!"

The terrified breakfast shop owner didn’t even dare to ask the thugs to pay their bill.

Zhou Jian Country was a true believer. He had already reached his laboratory and verified that the direction for Experiment 9 was correct.

But when he excitedly tried to share this news with the Reincarnator, Xufeng, he couldn’t get the call to connect.

Zhou thought for a long time...

’The Reincarnator is real. If he only told me this single, crucial piece of information, could he be reminding me... to focus on my experiments and stay in the lab?’

Zhang Wei returned from the cruise ship and saw Lin Zhixue. But Lin Zhixue was very rude today, on the phone the entire time with a foul temper. She didn’t even take a photo with her fans.

This made his already bad mood even worse, and he said resentfully:

"Just wait until after the apocalypse, then you’ll learn some manners... By then, Brother Qiang will be the boss, and all of you will have to lick his boots!"

Thinking of Huang Zhiqiang, he suddenly realized, ’Why hasn’t Huang Zhiqiang called me? Is he mad at me?’

Meanwhile, Zhao Wenjie was mulling things over for a long time...

’Is it possible the Reincarnator is a fake? Is this whole thing just a fabrication to compete with me for Yang Yi? How could I possibly accept an arranged relationship in the future? My judgment has always been excellent...’

Yan Yikai, who lived in the same complex, knew he’d been pranked the moment he saw the lottery results last night.

’Damn it! Who’s messing with me? They know my secret and they’re still messing with me... Reincarnation? They just want to see me make a fool of myself again, don’t they?’

Because the Triple Key verification failed, it wasn’t just Yu Dong’s core team; other teams also experienced the effects of the failed validation.

The "Leaders" tried to call Yu Dong, but the number had long been disconnected.

In Yanhai City, there was no longer a Reincarnator named Yu Dong.

There was only them.
