Mu Cheng spoke up, “I still have some things I need to take care of.”
Tang Nuo didn’t hesitate and immediately said, “I’ll go with you. Once you finish what you need to do, we’ll return to the capital together.”
It seemed that he had already figured things out and wouldn’t become an obstacle on her path of revenge.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Cheng nodded. “Alright.”
After agreeing, Mu Cheng lowered her head and looked at the nine-tailed fox beside Tang Nuo.
“Second Brother Tang, do you know this fox?”
Tang Nuo also lowered his head and looked at the fox.
“To be honest, before today I’d never seen it. But I just feel like I know it… and that we’re very familiar with each other.”
Never met it, yet very familiar with it?
What kind of explanation was that?
Tang Nuo himself looked confused.
He lifted his head and said to Mu Cheng, “It should be called Xiao Jiu. It already promised me it won’t hurt you, so you don’t need to be afraid of it.”
Xiao Jiu.
Because it was a nine-tailed fox?
“Aw!”
Xiao Jiu cried out, then stepped forward and bit the hem of Mu Cheng’s pants, tugging at her as if trying to lead her somewhere.
Mu Cheng walked forward a couple of steps. Xiao Jiu released her and ran around the building in front of them toward the back.
“It looks like it wants to take you somewhere. Let’s follow it and see,” Tang Nuo said as he led Mu Cheng after Xiao Jiu.
They circled around the building in front and reached the building behind it. That building happened to be where the armory was located.
Xiao Jiu led them all the way to the evidence room.
The fox jumped onto a row of shelves, grabbed a cloth bag with its mouth, and dragged it down in front of Mu Cheng.
It was a large cloth bag, bulging as if filled with something.
Seeing that Xiao Jiu dragged the bag to her rather than to Tang Nuo, Mu Cheng asked, “Is this for me?”
“Awuu!”
Xiao Jiu cried out and nodded again.
Mu Cheng crouched down and opened the bag. Inside were all kinds of jade artifacts, gold items, and bronze objects.
So much gold.
Mu Cheng looked excitedly at the gold pieces in the bag. Gold was even more valuable in the apocalypse because many weapons required gold in their components. Although she couldn’t determine exactly how much gold was in the bag, it was undoubtedly a windfall.
On top of the bag was also a record book. Tang Nuo picked it up and flipped through it.
“Awuu!”
Xiao Jiu cried again and pushed the bag closer to Mu Cheng with its paw.
Just how strong was this creature? With one swipe it could shatter bulletproof glass, yet it could also effortlessly drag a bag weighing several hundred pounds in front of her.
Still, these were exactly the things Mu Cheng wanted.
She wasn’t interested in jade or bronze artifacts, but gold was extremely useful.
However, this wasn’t the time to take out the gold pieces one by one, so she tossed the entire bag into her spatial storage.
What she didn’t expect was that the moment the bag entered the space, something miraculous happened.
All the jade artifacts inside the bag suddenly flew out, rushed out of the wooden house inside the space, and dropped straight into the hot spring pool.
What was going on?
In her previous life she had also obtained jade before, but her space had never reacted like this.
Tang Nuo had already finished reading the record book. He said,
“These things were dug out of an ancient tomb by a group of grave robbers.”
Tang Nuo’s voice pulled Mu Cheng back to her senses. She smiled at him and said,
“Second Brother Tang, let’s go.”
Tang Nuo said somewhat dissatisfied,
“Xiao Cheng, could you stop sounding so distant? Even though calling me Brother Nuo like when we were kids might feel awkward, calling me Second Brother still sounds better than addressing me as Second Brother Tang.”
“Oh.”
Tang Nuo responded and walked outside with large strides.
The glass of the Hummer had already been shattered, so it couldn’t be driven anymore. If they encountered zombies, it would be troublesome.
So Mu Cheng stored the Hummer in her space and took out another Hummer.
