The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1431 - 864: Many Hands Make Light Work

"The more, the better, but try to choose ones with a bit more strength."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Got it."

The Queen said.

"Do you have a car?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes, but it can’t enter the New City District."

The Queen replied.

"Let me ask the Jiwei Group to drive over and pick you up."

"Alright."

The Queen agreed.

Liu Zheng hung up and called Guo Koutangzi.

"Get a few cars to ’Pink Kingdom’ to pick people up for the cemetery."

Liu Zheng stated directly.

"Driving is likely to run into green vests."

Guo Koutangzi replied.

"If you do, just mention my name, slip them some money, and claim it from me later. If it still doesn’t work, call me and I’ll come get you."

Liu Zheng said.

"Got it."

Guo Koutangzi hung up the phone.

"That’s it then."

Liu Zheng plopped down on the ground and grabbed San Huamao to pet.

After about an hour, a large bus drove over.

He stood up and glanced over, Garlic was driving and Guo Koutangzi sat in the passenger seat.

The bus stopped two parking spaces away from the spirit car, and the door opened, one after another, the technicians dressed extravagantly filed out.

"One, two, three..."

Liu Zheng counted silently, ending up with a total of twenty-five.

"Why are you here too?"

He was surprised to see the Queen coming out last.

"Do you think they’d dare come without me?"

The Queen gave him a sidelong glance.

"Then you could’ve sent Zhi Zi."

"Zhi Zi has to stay home to watch the house."

The Queen replied.

"Alright, consider yourself the backup team then."

Liu Zheng distributed the operation manuals to them, and the Queen began to study them with the technicians.

Although the technicians generally have low educational levels, the manual was simple enough that even those who couldn’t read could make guesses.

So it didn’t take them long to, under the Queen’s direction, form twelve groups.

"Let’s begin, sisters, let’s show these men what we can do!"

At the Queen’s command, the technicians began entering the cemetery group by group.

At first, everything went smoothly. Although the technicians came out looking like fish poisoned and turned belly-up by industrial sewage, they were alright after being sent to the clinic promptly, only needing some time to recuperate.

But the seventh group went in and didn’t come out for a long time.

"What’s going on?"

The Queen looked at Liu Zheng.

"I’ll go in and check."

Liu Zheng didn’t say much, putting on a spare set of odor-removal gear and entering the cemetery.

Two technicians sat holding hands on the ground, the indicator light on their backs had turned completely black.

He uncovered their masks, and sure enough, they had stopped breathing.

Liu Zheng seemed to understand yet not understand.

He stopped thinking, and carried both the people and equipment out of the cemetery.

"They’re dead."

Liu Zheng told the Queen the result.

"..."

The Queen’s expression turned from anger to sadness, then to an indecipherable shadow.

"Smack!"

She suddenly walked to one of the technicians and slapped the latter in the face.

"You knew, didn’t you, Elena?"

She questioned.

The technician named Elena lowered her head, remaining silent.

She was a mid-level leader in the "Pink Kingdom," and she had brought in the two technicians who died.

"Who else had such intentions?"

The Queen scanned the remaining technicians, but no one responded.

"Their insurance claims are canceled; if anyone else seeks death, not only will they not receive claims, but their wages will also be canceled."

The Queen announced directly.

"Why?"

"The agreed ten-thousand insurance payout should be given when someone dies!"

The technicians immediately clamored.

"Shut up!"

The Queen shouted.

Years of authority made the technicians close their mouths, but their expressions showed discontent.

"You’re already living like this, must you degrade yourself further? My place doesn’t welcome such lowly behavior. If you want to earn money from the dead, go do it elsewhere."

The Queen’s tone was icy.

The technicians were still not very convinced, but they didn’t dare to say anything.

"I didn’t manage my people well; I’ll cover their wages myself."

The Queen said to Liu Zheng.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng nodded.

He wasn’t short of money, but he wouldn’t interfere with the Queen’s discipline.

He could see it too, that these two technicians had deliberately risked dying for the insurance payout.

As for the underlying reason, Liu Zheng trusted the Queen to handle it.

After the minor disruption, the deodorization work continued.

In the meantime, people from the Gaga Bathhouse also arrived, led, unsurprisingly, by Lao Si.

However, there were only three sets of odor-removal equipment, with one kept as a spare, so they could only wait on the side until the ’Pink Kingdom’ finished their work.

Fortunately, everyone was familiar, chatting, gossiping, and venting about clients and supervisors made the time pass.

Of course, as the one being complained about, Lao Si felt time dragged on.

"We’ve finished our work."

The Queen said.

"Alright, here’s your payment."

Liu Zheng handed over the prepared money to her.

During the eleventh group, another technician died, but the Queen judged it wasn’t suicide, so Liu Zheng also provided the insurance payout.

"I’ll buy a burial plot for the three of them, there should be a discount."

Liu Zheng offered.

"How much of a discount?"

The Queen was somewhat interested.

Who from the Metropolis wouldn’t prefer to be buried in a cemetery rather than wander as a lonely ghost?

"Brother Ma, could you help me ask around? After all, they died helping with the cemetery deodorization."

Liu Zheng looked at Skinny Horse.

"Neigh~"

Skinny Horse nodded and then disappeared on the spot.

Two minutes later, it emerged again from the void.

It looked at its hooves and then traced the character "One" on the ground.
