Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 006: Meeting Friends and Enemies

The dishes came on the table, made from ducks, fish, and sheep. But the dish looks appetizing because it faintly looks the sparkle that appears, especially the fragrant aroma that already tastes good just by inhaling it.

The dish at this place originally only cost ¥2000, but after the change of the world, one portion of it starts from ¥6000. Of course, the higher the floor, the higher the price to pay.

Looking at the dish on the table, Fan Chen sighed. Even in his previous life, he had never imagined to eat this dish even though the price was still normal, and here he ate it when the price had gone up many times over.

"Chen'er, Yu'er."

The two who were sitting next to each other, looked up at Yun Mingyue.

"Mother is already calling the board of directors for tomorrow's meeting, and I've already said that Mother will sell the shareholding at a price ¥100 lower than the market price."

Fan Chen frowned and said, "Then Mother only got ¥80,000,000. The question is, will the Fan Family interfere by pressuring Mother to force Mother to sell ownership of shares at a price lower than this?"

Yun Mingyue smiled wryly, and shook her head. "Mom don't know, but with “That Older” in mind, maybe even they'll use various ways to get it for free."

Fan Chen and Fan Xiaoyu were speechless.

He knew strength was everything in the present, but the Stronghold System could only be used when there was money. If you don't have money, I don't know how long it will take to take advantage of all the features.

Fan Chen deeply regretted that he did not have much Coin©. Otherwise, he could call in troops to escort when coming in or out of the company. But he couldn't do much, just look at tomorrow, if there really was no choice, then he would really kill even if he had never killed.

Yun Mingyue knew that she was saying something that should not be said for now. He picked up the big squid and placed it on the plate of Fan Chen and Dan Xiaoyu. "Rapidly eat, after which we return. I'm so tired, I want to enjoy Chen'er's massage."

Fan Chen and Fan Xiaoyu knew that this night's walk failed due to discussing the Fan Family, but the two of them did not comment, just nod in silence and bow your head to continue eating the dishes on the table.

—The Next Day—

The expected precautions from the Fan Family did not occur, the sale of shareholding went smoothly, even at a price higher than what was originally intended to be sold. But, Fan Chen felt that this was not that simple, however, they were still in the Wind Protection City.

Fan Chen sat alone on the third-floor balcony, staring at the grassy expanse with dense trees on the other side. "Everything went well, maybe because we were still in Wind Protection City, the Fan Family didn't really care and because we didn't have anyone, we were like birds in a cage ..."

"After getting out of the city, our lives are no different from trash. The rules only exist in the City of Protection, out there, only the strong survive."

Fan Chen stood up from the wooden chair, he was holding on to the balcony railing. "Wood Protection City is in the south, we have to go north." He turned left to the north and said, "May all go well."

Fan Chen turned around, walking down from the third floor. She took her mother and sister for a walk together in the park. At first he wanted to set out on his own, but after his mother sold the ownership stake, the spies who observed them from a distance grew more and more. He did not want to while going alone, suddenly the spy came to the villa.

Coming to the park, many people were playing cheerfully.

Fan Chen sat on the long chair under the tree, he saw Yun Mingyue and Fan Xiaoyu join together with the old men who usually did regular gymnastics in the park.

"Fan Chen?!"

Fan Chen looked towards the shout, and saw a fatty figure running with a heavy breath. "Fatty!"

His real name was Mu Yanzi, a classmate in high school, although they only knew each other for a year.

Fan Chen himself was not very familiar, there was even a hint of hatred. Not without reason, Mu Yanzi would always use her name to approach women, even when she did not know anything, she was suddenly summoned to the master room on the charge of taking the underwear.

"Your body keeps growing."

Mu Yanzi smiled wryly as she sat beside Fan Chen, but she did not care much and said, "Since we meet here, then this is already doomed. Can you accompany me to meet the girl tonight?"

"No." Fan Chen immediately rejected it without thinking.

Mu Yanzi knew why Fan Chen had rejected her, but she still did not give up. "This time is different, I really didn't accidentally back then."

Fan Chen ignored Mu Yanzi. At that moment, he was accompanying Mu Yanzi, but in the end he had to pay all the bills because Mu Yanzi left first under the pretext of having to check the conditions. Not only did he have to pay the bills, he also had to give the girls money to be able to return to their respective homes, including taking care of the problems caused by Mu Yanzi for seducing a married woman.

Mu Yanzi continued to talk nonstop, not caring about Fan Chen's reaction, whether he was noticed or ignored, all he wanted to do was continue speaking.

Fan Chen could not take it anymore and said, "Shut up! If you have the energy to keep talking, use that energy to exercise, it might help you save yourself."

Mu Yanzi frowned as she remained silent for a moment before asking, "For what? Are there any Mutant Beasts attacking? The Wind Protection City had already been attacked dozens of times, despite the casualties, but it still stood firm until this second!"

Fan Chen glanced at him, then rolled his eyes while sighing. He had already reminded, and there was no need to tell about the zombies, even the other “Fan Chen” inside was eager for Mu Yanzi to die sooner.

Not wanting to hear Mu Yanzi's chatter anymore, Fan Chen chose to stand up and practice gymnastics. He could still enjoy the peaceful times until tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they planned to leave the Wind Protection City. Back then, it was probably a lot of prevention outside the city that forced them to return, and the worst was death on the spot.

Mu Yanzi looked at Fan Chen's departure, he wasn't angry, it was just that his smile disappeared. He stood up, looking at Fan Xiaoyu while licking his own lips. Then he went the other way, came out of the garden area and muttered, "You might be able to behave like this because you are rich, but because you no longer have shares, and even intend to sell the villa, he said, then you must leave the City of Protection. At that time, you will die. The Fan family has promised me that they will hand over Xiaoyu."

Fan Chen who was standing in the back row, following the movements of the gymnastics instructor, suddenly stopped moving when he heard Mu Yanzi mutter. His ability had not been able to hear the muttering of others within a dozen meters, but he used the hidden technology placed in the wooden chair earlier, and happened to be occupied by Mu Yanzi.

Fan Chen had already received all the memories of the original body owner, and upon seeing Mu Yanzi approach him, he immediately put down a very thin and small sound eavesdropper, no different from a single leaf.

He raised his left hand, touching a small tool in his ear. Then he went back to doing gymnastic movements as if nothing had happened.

"Aarrrghh! The heat! It's hot!"

Suddenly there was a loud scream that caught the attention of everyone in the park. Looking towards the source of the voice, they saw a large-bodied man running with a pained expression, his hands clapping his burnt pants.

Fan Chen took a quick look at it, then ignored it.

The tools it buys can be destroyed remotely to remove evidence, and the rate of destruction varies, depending on Coin© to be paid.
