The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1432 - 864: Unity Brings Greater Strength (Part 2)

"One yuan or ten thousand?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Upon hearing this, Skinny Horse added the word "thousand" after the "one."

"We’ll pay for it ourselves."

The Queen immediately said after hearing that.

She could afford thirty thousand yuan. After all, she intended to take a commission from these technicians’ fees, so using it to buy a cemetery plot for the deceased technicians seemed appropriate.

Moreover, buying a cemetery plot for ten thousand yuan was almost like getting it for free; not buying it would practically be a crime.

"Alright. Do you want to hold a funeral?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"Let’s do it."

The Queen hesitated for a moment but still said.

Normally, there wasn’t any funeral when someone died; at most, a group would mourn the deceased.

However, since they bought the cemetery plot at such a low price, not holding a funeral seemed like a waste.

"Then let Jiwei Group take you to the ’Die with pleasure’ funeral home. Just say I referred you. Hmm, I’ll call them now."

Liu Zheng took out a business card and called the bald-headed manager at the funeral home.

"Mr. Liu, hello, hello."

The bald-headed manager quickly answered and said warmly.

"Hello, Manager. I’m calling to ask for a favor."

Liu Zheng said.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Liu."

The bald-headed manager said respectfully.

"I’m helping the cemetery with deodorization, and three employees died in the process. The cemetery is basically giving them three plots at cost, so I thought I couldn’t fall short and wanted to ask if you could give them half a funeral."

Liu Zheng said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Alright, rest assured, I will provide the best service possible within my authority."

The bald-headed manager assured.

"Hmm. Remember, they sacrificed for the cemetery, and the cemetery’s normal operation is related to the entire Metropolis. So if their funeral isn’t held properly, not only will I be dissatisfied, but the cemetery and even the City Hall might be displeased. Understand?"

Liu Zheng escalated the matter to great importance.

"Understood, understood, I’ll contact our leadership immediately."

Though not completely swayed, the bald-headed manager took it more seriously.

"Hmm, thank you for your hard work."

"This is our duty."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone.

"Alright, you guys can go over now."

He said to the Queen.

"Hmm."

The Queen nodded, loading the corpses of the three technicians onto the bus.

After sending off the Queen, people at the Gaga Bathhouse began their work.

Compared to the "Pink Kingdom" technicians, the bathhouse employees were evidently more well-trained and competent on average.

After their work, a tally showed no casualties and a deodorization rate of 35%, two percentage points higher than expected.

Adding the "Pink Kingdom"’s 20% and the Xi Family Army’s 8%, the deodorization rate had reached 63%, surpassing half.

"Zheng Chan, are you at the cemetery now?"

At this time, Jinzi called.

"Yes."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Okay, we’re coming over now."

Jinzi said.

"How many people are with you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Forty people."

Jinzi replied.

"So many, is it safe?"

Liu Zheng asked with concern.

"Rest assured, Zheng Chan, while the Waiter Clan’s combat ability isn’t high, our vitality is strong."

Jinzi said confidently.

"Alright. Payment is ten thousand per person, with compensation of a hundred thousand if injured, and medical expenses covered. But if anyone really dies, I’ll hang you up and spank you, understand?"

Liu Zheng warned half-softly, half-harshly.

"Got it. Even if no one dies, can Zheng Chan still hang me up and spank?"

Jinzi said in a coquettish tone.

"Keep dreaming."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and hung up.

Half an hour later, people from the Waiter Clan arrived in two buses.

Seeing so many faces that looked like copy-pastes behind Jinzi, Liu Zheng felt a bit dizzy.

"Zheng Chan, we’re here."

Jinzi walked up to Liu Zheng.

"Good. Why is Seiko here too?"

Liu Zheng finally spotted a uniquely recognizable face.

"She’s young, and it’s good for her to gain some experience. She volunteered."

Jinzi explained.

"Oh. What about Xiao Wan?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"She wanted to come too, but I stopped her."

Jinzi replied.

"Hmm, you did the right thing."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"As long as Zheng Chan is satisfied."

Jinzi smiled.

She didn’t understand child protection, but she was good at reading people.

Currently, Liu Zheng was the biggest support for the Waiter Clan, his likes and dislikes were theirs.

"Let’s begin then."

Liu Zheng handed the operation manual to Jinzi and the others.

The average strength of the Waiter Clan was below the "Pink Kingdom" but above "Gaga Bathhouse," yet their average cultural level was much higher than both. They quickly figured out how to use the deodorization equipment, and then divided into groups to start working.

Jinzi wasn’t bragging, and in the end, the Waiter Clan didn’t suffer any casualties, with the deodorization rate reaching 35%, directly pushing the total progress to 1%.

The reason they didn’t reach 100% wasn’t because they couldn’t, but because Liu Zheng stopped them midway.

This cemetery document was too useful, he didn’t want to return it just yet.

After seeing off the Waiter Clan, Liu Zheng entered the cemetery with Skinny Horse.

"It’s so refreshing."

He took a deep breath and said.

With his immunity to stench, the remaining 1% of odor hardly affected him anymore.

Skinny Horse didn’t speak, but just showed a look of disdain.

"You did well."

The Tomb Guardian walked over from not far away.

"It’s all thanks to your prestige and Brother Ma’s help; otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to reach the cemetery."

Liu Zheng said humbly.

"That’s a different matter. Did you purposely not complete it?"

The Tomb Guardian asked directly.

"Yes."

Liu Zheng admitted.

"I can give you at most three days."

The Tomb Guardian said.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Tomb Guardian."

Liu Zheng bowed in gratitude.

Three days was already plenty.

"What reward do you want?"

The Tomb Guardian asked.

"I want to visit the Heavenly Martial King’s tomb again."

Liu Zheng said.

This was the primary task; if he couldn’t complete it, Si Xue would really turn him into lamb soup.

"Alright. Taking some things out doesn’t count as a reward."

The Tomb Guardian nodded.

"That’s great."

Liu Zheng was delighted.

"I also want to ask you to help investigate the whereabouts of a sewer escape clone."

He added.

"A sewer clone?"

The Tomb Guardian’s tone was puzzled, clearly unaware of this matter.

"The sewer said it previously sent up a clone to run errands, but that clone developed self-awareness and stayed outside. The sewer senses the clone’s last location was at the cemetery here."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Do you have anything related to the sewer?"

The Tomb Guardian asked.

"I don’t seem to have anything."

Liu Zheng scratched his head.

There used to be a "Demon Pill of the Sewer," but unfortunately, it took it back.

"Then come find me after you get one; without a token, it’s hard for me to search."

The Tomb Guardian said.

"Okay, I’ll ask around."

Liu Zheng agreed verbally.

But he wasn’t optimistic, as these landmarks were all very wary of each other, and the sewer was unlikely to give a part of itself to the cemetery.

However, if the sewer itself was unwilling, he would have a reason to extend the deadline.

"One more thing."

Liu Zheng said.

"Go on."

"Can you arrange for the graves of those three technicians to be near Red Pig?"

Liu Zheng asked.

The cemetery was a community too; with Red Pig as a neighbor, those three technicians wouldn’t be bullied by other dead.

"Sure."

The Tomb Guardian agreed.

"Take him to tomb raid."

After instructing Skinny Horse, he turned and walked into the Gobi Desert.

This also meant Liu Zheng’s rewards were now used up.

"Hehe, then I’ll trouble Brother Ma."

Liu Zheng flipped onto the horse’s back.

Skinny Horse rolled his eyes but didn’t throw him off.

After a sprint, the man and the horse arrived at the Heavenly Martial King’s tomb.

"Brother Wu Qi, we meet again."

He smiled at the bronze face.

"Back so soon? Did you find any of my clansmen?"

The bronze face opened its eyes and eagerly asked.

"No."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Then did you find anyone from the Gongyang Family?"

The bronze face asked again.

"Uh, still no."

Liu Zheng shook his head once more.

"Then why did you come back? Waking me from my sleep."

The bronze face gave him a sidelong glance, then closed its eyes again.
