Chapter 148: Boss, I’ll Go With You

When Shi Yuebai found Ying Ruoying in Xiao Lingye’s team—

A man was pressing down on her, but without hesitation, she used the ring on her finger to slice off his head.

Her technique was getting more and more practiced.

Shi Yuebai rolled her wheelchair closer, lowering her gaze to watch as Ying Ruoying, covered in blood, sat up.

“It’s been so long, and you still haven’t killed Xiao Lingye?”

Shi Yuebai had thought that by giving Ying Ruoying a deadly weapon, she’d take care of Xiao Lingye quickly.

But now, even Fu Ze had been gone for a month, and Ying Ruoying was still busy killing the men in Xiao Lingye’s team.

Ying Ruoying calmly took out a pack of wet wipes and cleaned the blood off her face.

“If Xiao Lingye dies too soon, that’s letting him off easy.”

“I just love watching him lose everything, raging helplessly.”

Ying Ruoying stood up from beside the corpse and looked toward Xiao Lingye’s tent.

“Boss, what do you think he’ll do next to stop his team from falling apart?”

Her eyes gleamed with a hint of madness.

She had never thought much of Xiao Lingye.

Back then, he was just a poor kid—narrow-minded, ignorant, not worth a second glance.

He’d once secretly confessed his feelings to Ying Ruoying.

But she hadn’t even spared him a look.

If it weren’t for the apocalypse, someone like him would’ve spent his whole life struggling at the bottom.

Vision and awareness—those things matter.

If you’re at the bottom and lack both, you’re doomed to stay there forever.

Of course, even if you have them, without a solid family background, it’s still hard to rise up.

Ying Ruoying had watched as Xiao Lingye slowly devoured the Ying family, building his team into the strongest outside the city.

But honestly, did someone like Xiao Lingye deserve it?

Hot-tempered, paranoid, cruel, amoral, unable to win people over—so many flaws in one person.

Did he deserve to have it all?

“Boss, the apocalypse really is a great equalizer.”

Ying Ruoying kept her eyes fixed on Xiao Lingye’s tent.

“It scrambled everything that was set in stone, letting a nobody like him rule the wasteland for years.”

“If he could do it, anyone could. As long as you’re ruthless enough, anything’s possible.”

And Ying Ruoying, of course, could do it too.

Shi Yuebai didn’t argue—she agreed.

“I’ll give you a chance to humiliate him.”

Seeing Ying Ruoying look over, Shi Yuebai said,

“Didn’t he always want a permit to live in the big city?”

“I just bought a property. You can live there. I’ll get you the residency permit.”

If you own property in the city, you don’t need to spend extra points to buy a residency permit.

If you want to buy one, you have to spend points to get it from the management.

Then they’ll assign you an unoccupied property to live in.

And every month, you have to pay a hefty rent in points to the management.

These properties are ownerless, not private.

But if you have enough points, you can buy whichever one you want.

Shi Yuebai had checked—a residency permit was only two million points.

You could even pay in installments.

Up to ten installments—two hundred thousand a month, plus fifty thousand in rent to the management system.

So Shi Yuebai only needed to pay 250,000 points a month for Ying Ruoying.

All the paperwork could be handled by Huo Chenggui.

The mercenary group already owed her 100,000 points.

Meanwhile, thanks to Captain Qiao’s relentless barrage of messages, Shi Yuebai’s prepared foods were steadily and secretly selling.

She already had 500,000 points in her account.

Not even counting what the mercenaries owed her.

Ying Ruoying was stunned, hesitating for a moment.

Shi Yuebai said, “Xiao Lingye won’t last much longer. There are only a few dozen people left in his team.”

Most of those who’d followed Xiao Lingye through the apocalypse had already been killed by Ying Ruoying.

Xiao Lingye never bothered to check on his team.

The members were too busy fighting among themselves to care about patrols.

After a round of infighting, they’d suddenly split off with their own groups and leave.

So no one realized that in every corner of the team’s ruins, there was a headless corpse.

“Xiao Lingye will be leaving soon. If he stays, nothing good will come of it.”

Shi Yuebai looked at Ying Ruoying.

“Think about it—if you recover and rise up now, you’ll be able to watch him die from above.”

“Isn’t that more satisfying than what you’re doing now?”

Ying Ruoying had no resistance to Shi Yuebai’s words.

She nodded immediately. “What do you need me to do?”

“Everything in this world has a price.”

“Boss, as long as you help me, I’ll do anything for you—kill, burn, even sell my body, whatever you want.”

Shi Yuebai waved her hand.

“No need for all that. Well, actually, I do need all of it—especially the part about selling your body.”

Ying Ruoying’s face showed a calm, knowing look.

She was attractive, with a dancer’s poise and figure from years of ballet.

She knew that those in power sometimes made dirty deals.

Back then, Xiao Lingye had wanted Da Jiao and Xiao Jiao just to give them to the city’s management.

So if Shi Yuebai needed something from her, it was only natural.

Suddenly, chaos erupted in Xiao Lingye’s tent.

Amidst angry shouting, a fight broke out inside.

Shi Yuebai and Ying Ruoying stood at a distance, watching the commotion grow.

After a while, Xiao Lingye, covered in blood, led a few people and ran off toward the city.

Shi Yuebai said calmly, “He’s gone.”

The remaining dozens in Xiao Lingye’s team, unable to stand his temper, started arguing, and the conflict exploded.

Xiao Lingye took a handful of loyal followers and stormed off to the city, cursing and looking for help.

When he left, he didn’t even think about taking Ying Ruoying or any of the women in the team.

To them, these women were dispensable.

If Ying Ruoying hadn’t agreed to go with Shi Yuebai to the city, she’d have been left behind in the team.

To be used by whoever was left.

Ying Ruoying said, “I know who he’s going to see in the city. He knows a supervisor in the management office.”

“Da Jiao and Xiao Jiao were meant to be gifts for that supervisor.”

“Boss, I’ll go with you. Xiao Lingye only has eight people left with him now.”

She was going to hunt Xiao Lingye down in the city.

Shi Yuebai immediately teleported Ying Ruoying out of the team and into the city property.

“Now, I need to use your body—to clean out all these rocks and garbage.”

That was what Shi Yuebai meant by “using her body.”

Ying Ruoying stared, dumbfounded, at the massive cleanup project ahead.

My improvisation skills really are terrible."
