Chapter 303 - 257: No Matter How Many Times You Are Reborn, It’s the Same

Chapter 303: Chapter 257: No Matter How Many Times You Are Reborn, It’s the Same

Qiao Yunliang was 54 and considered himself an excellent judge of character. After an incident that had lasted all night, right up until 4 a.m.... he could still distinguish truth from fiction.

So he would indeed prepare. And when Yu Dong asked him for a man, he gave him one—even if that man was his most capable soldier.

From now on, he would follow Yu Dong.

Yu Dong had earned it.

...

「Wednesday, midday.」

Yin Shuangyang was very satisfied after he and Yu Dong returned from a full morning of work.

"Brother Yu, now this is more like it! As long as we work together, we can handle anything. I was just afraid you wouldn’t get it... that you’d think I was some kind of bad guy."

"I would have been a lot more comfortable if you had just invited my brothers over properly."

"Time was tight. I had to move fast... Otherwise, how could we move forward if I never knew what you were thinking? I originally trusted you completely, but your brother wasn’t playing fair... Buying that lottery ticket, wasn’t that a clear sign that someone else knew about this? I had no choice but to bring them in for questioning. Now that everything’s cleared up, it’s all understandable!"

"If you act like this and still end up dying in this life, aren’t you afraid I won’t look for you in the next one?"

"Yu Dong, we have common interests. Cooperation is our best option. As long as you don’t screw me over, I won’t harm you. Before the apocalypse or after, you can have whatever you want, and your brothers can live the good life right alongside you. Unless... you’re just here to play me. In that case, you’ll pay the price. Any version of Yin Shuangyang, no matter how many times you reincarnate, will feel the same way about this. I guarantee it!"

Yin Shuangyang said to Yu Dong, his tone serious.

Yu Dong nodded. "I understand... Take me to see my brothers."

"Let’s go. They should be enjoying themselves right now."

Yu Dong went to their room to find the three of them had just finished facial treatments. They were each wearing a face mask while professional masseuses gave them massages. Huang Zhiqiang was so relaxed he had already fallen asleep...

Hearing a sound at the door, Zhao Youcai’s eyes narrowed, and his hand shot out to grab a nearby ashtray.

Xufeng stopped his hand and shook his head.

Yu Dong gave a slight nod.

"Xufeng, Youcai... Just rest up here and don’t worry about anything else. If you need something, tell President Yin’s men. From here on... just leave it to us. You’ll be free once the zombie virus outbreak starts at 8 p.m. on Sunday."

Hearing this, Xufeng’s eyes shifted, and he grunted in reluctant acknowledgment.

Zhao Youcai slowly lowered the ashtray.

Yin Shuangyang also spoke up. "Fellas, my apologies... I had no choice. I’ll make it up to you properly after the apocalypse. For the next few days, feel free to ask for anything you want. My men will do their best to satisfy your every need. To be good brothers with Yu Dong... consider it your good fortune."

After the two of them left, Xufeng looked at Zhao Youcai, who looked back at him.

Just then, Huang Zhiqiang slowly opened his eyes.

"I just heard Dongzi say..."

"SHHH—"

They both made a shushing gesture at him at the same time, then said in disgust, "Shut up, Huang. Just hearing you talk is nauseating."

"What a coward!"

Hearing this, Huang Zhiqiang’s eyes grew red. He turned his head away... and said to the masseuse attending to him:

"I want a busty young woman."

Xufeng and Zhao Youcai: "?"

The masseuse slowly undid a button on her blouse.

"That would be me..."

Then she pulled Huang Zhiqiang’s face into her chest.

Xufeng and Zhao Youcai: "!!!"

....

After this unpleasant incident, Yu Dong and Yin Shuangyang continued to work together. They didn’t speak of anything else, focusing solely on their preparations for the apocalypse.

Yu Dong repeatedly offered constructive suggestions, which made Yin Shuangyang see him in a new, more respectful light.

"The base has to be moved out of Shuangyang Building. It’s a deathtrap. Even if you evacuate both towers, all the surrounding roads will be blocked. With zombies on all sides, we’ll be completely trapped. It’s not a good starting position. We can clear out the zombies and take it back later."

"We should move the base to Zongshan District. Your power plant and shipyard are both over there. Aren’t your sea routes being used to transport armaments right now? The timing would be perfect to receive the shipment at the shipyard’s port in Zongshan District. Then we can start from there, clear out the zombies, and punch our way through Binhai Avenue..."

"Once we’ve secured Huangyang Port and connected it to the Zongshan District power grid, we can use the railway you’ve prepared to move throughout Yanhai City, or even leave it entirely."

Yin Shuangyang had to agree that Yu Dong had a point.

Their base should be in Zongshan District, where they’d have power and access to the sea. The area was also less populated, making it suitable for large-scale operations.

Even though Yu Dong claimed the zombies weren’t that terrifying, the thought of ninety percent of the Urban Area’s population turning into flesh-eating monsters simultaneously... Yin Shuangyang felt it was better to be cautious. He wanted to witness the zombies’ capabilities with his own eyes before making any big moves.

Everything Yu Dong was suggesting served his own interests.

"Brother Yu, if we can keep cooperating like this, there’s truly nothing that can stop us in the future."

"So far... it’s been working out well."

"Let me level with you... You see me living the high life, but in reality... if the big shots above me want to take me down, it’s as easy as saying the word. I have to grovel and throw money at them just to be left alone. But sometimes I think... couldn’t I be one of those big shots? Now, the opportunity is here. If we pull this off... I’ll give you all of Yanhai City. How does that sound?"

Yin Shuangyang slung an arm around Yu Dong’s shoulder. From their vantage point in the Twin Towers, he pointed out at the city, his eyes filled with grand ambition.

He genuinely wanted to build a true empire with the Reincarnator.

’As long as I have the exclusive advantage of advance information, I can sweep away all competition!’

’If they didn’t succeed in this life, then he and Yu Dong would in the next... or the one after that. They would get it done eventually.’

’And when that day came, he wouldn’t enjoy the glory alone!’

’Even those three brothers he had roughed up could follow Yu Dong and become part of the top echelon in the new world order!’

...

「After three days of preparation.」

「Saturday.」

Yu Dong, Yin Shuangyang, and their core members all moved into a large industrial park near the Shanship Heavy Industries Shipyard.

A massive amount of supplies had already been stockpiled inside!

Tonight, a freighter carrying guns and ammunition, under the command of Zou Long, would arrive in international waters 130 nautical miles off the coast of Yanhai City and hide near a small island.

Zou Long and his men would then use the cover of darkness to take a speedboat along a hidden route, sneaking back into Yanhai City to meet with Yu Dong.

"Brother Yu, in this life, I’m going to show you how to play with the big guns."
