Chapter 221: Chapter 184: Everyone Is Drunk, Second Sister-in-law Takes the Initiative

Hong She and Xie Shaokun took a cart full of Spiritual Apes to be prepared by a cook.

This was their food for the near future.

Naturally, it had to be handled with care.

「Inside a warehouse at the chemical plant.」

"Start talking."

"A reason not to kill you."

Xia Yu’s gaze fell calmly on Second Sister-in-law, the bear-like man, and the bald man.

These three.

They were no simple characters.

Second Sister-in-law’s physical aptitude was only average, but she was ruthless, meticulous, and had powerful connections.

The bear-like man had an Upper Middle-grade physical aptitude, was equally vicious, followed only Second Sister-in-law’s orders, and had extensive combat experience. You could tell at a glance he was a warrior who constantly diced with death.

The bald man’s physical aptitude was beyond top-grade, his survival skills were first-rate, and he was utterly ruthless.

Which was why...

She chose to give these three a chance.

CLICK.

Little Nannan chambered a round.

Little Flower slowly rose, her hand moving to the combat knife at her side.

"???"

Hearing this, Second Sister-in-law and the others instantly grew tense, their expressions turning grim.

’They never imagined Xia Yu could be this ruthless!’

’They had just been fighting side-by-side!’

’They’d just been busting their asses for her!’

’And now she was just going to toss them aside?’

However, none of the three dared to utter a word of complaint.

The warehouse was silent for several seconds.

Second Sister-in-law took a deep breath and spoke first. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Qian. I’m a murderer. Though, I only killed people overseas. In total... I guess it was over a hundred?"

"I can’t quite remember."

A sharp hiss.

The bald man gasped and couldn’t help but ask, "Did you wipe out an entire company?"

Hearing this, Su Qian smiled gently. "Take a guess."

The bald man looked at her unsettling smile, and a shiver ran down his spine. He shrank back and fell silent.

Su Qian turned back to Xia Yu. "I’m telling you this to show that I have some influence abroad, and I’ve worked with many powerful figures all over the country."

"Brother Dong was just one of them."

"I heard from Hong She that joining your team is extremely difficult. Might I be qualified?"

Xia Yu shook her head.

’After the Apocalypse began, those connections and resources are useless.’

’Ultimately, all that matters is personal strength!’

’Su Qian has no superpower, and her physical aptitude is average. That’s a critical weakness.’

"I see it’s as difficult as they say."

Su Qian’s expression shifted, a look of understanding on her face. She nodded and said, "Since I can’t join, could we perhaps cooperate?"

"You’ll still need some utterly vicious people in the future, won’t you? I can be a steady supply line for them."

"In fact, as long as the price is right, I can get you plenty of people who have a death wish."

Xia Yu pondered this for a moment.

She nodded. "You are not yet worthy of being my partner."

"But we can make a deal."

’Although Su Qian hadn’t mentioned what she hoped to gain, Xia Yu knew the woman must have realized she could predict the time and location of the Mist Events.’

’And she clearly valued the opportunity to enter a Mist Event.’

’Therefore...’

’This was a deal where both sides could profit.’

’A deal that could last.’

’A deal that could succeed.’

"Done."

Su Qian nodded without hesitation. "A pleasure doing business with you."

She truly did value the chance to enter the Mist Events.

First, even before this Mist Event, she already had a decent understanding of them. After all, she traveled abroad frequently and had gathered a lot of information.

Furthermore, after experiencing one firsthand, she could clearly feel her own strength increasing.

For her future prospects and for her own safety, making a deal with Xia Yu was the best possible choice.

"And you?"

Xia Yu turned her gaze to the bear-like man.

"I listen to Second Sister-in-law," the bear-like man said in a low rumble.

Xia Yu wasn’t surprised. She nodded and turned her gaze to the bald man.

The bald man licked his dry lips and hurriedly said, "My name is Han Sanguang. I... I can lay my life on the line for you. My strength is increasing fast. I’ll definitely be a help to you in the future."

He looked utterly spineless, but a vicious glint was hidden deep in his eyes.

His right hand was also stealthily creeping toward his inner jacket pocket.

There...

he had a Hand Grenade hidden.

He had secretly pocketed it during the fighting in the Mist Event.

No one had noticed.

’If Xia Yu doesn’t let me go, I’ll detonate the Hand Grenade. If I’m going down... I’m taking everyone with me!’

But then...

"Okay."

"I believe you."

Xia Yu’s words were stunning.

???

For a moment, the bald man was dumbfounded.

Second Sister-in-law and the bear-like man also frowned, completely bewildered.

"However," Xia Yu continued, "you aren’t qualified to join our team, nor do you have the ability to make a deal with me. So..."

"From now on, you can consider yourself a temp for our team."
