Chapter 1466 Ghost money is useless, but...
Based on Xiaoye's combat experience and judging from Hongwenli's physical strength, the three of them had almost no chance of escaping when facing hundreds of zombies.
Even if they run, they probably won't get very far before they're surrounded and cut off.
Over a hundred, that's no small number.
"Boss, what should we do? If it doesn't work, I can go forward and hold them off for a while," Xiao Ye whispered to Chen Mu.
Compared to the panicked Hong Wenli and Xiao Ye who were preparing for battle, Chen Mu was much calmer and more composed.
Chen Mu looked at the horde of menacing zombies before him, but instead of being afraid, there was even a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Admittedly, this bizarre scene of delivering the letter is set in a zombie apocalypse.
Zombies don't care about ghost money at all, and they have no interest in having it.
Chen Mu has always relied on "spending money like water" to get through the game, buying everything he could with ghost money.
In a different post-apocalyptic world, the old method of using money to pave the way no longer works.
Mr. Chen's area of expertise was suddenly brought back to square one.
Theoretically speaking, Chen Mu should be very worried.
However, Chen Mu not only showed no concern, but also seemed eager to try.
Because... Chen Mu's understanding of "money" has transcended the concept of ghost money itself.
Money ≠ ghost money.
Everywhere, there is a universal form of "money".
It's like pure, eerie energy; it's actually another kind of "money."
Passing through levels with money doesn't mean passing through levels with ghost money.
Just like when facing these zombies, although they are not interested in ghost money, there must be another kind of "money" that they are keen to pursue.
Fortunately, during his conversation with Hong Wenli, Chen Mu had already astutely grasped what the "money" targeting zombies was.
Chen Mu already had a guess in his mind.
With so many zombies around, it's a perfect opportunity to test our theory.
That's why Chen Mu wanted to try it so badly.
Moreover, Chen Mu has many trump cards up his sleeve. His real trump cards are still unused in his spatial ring.
Having a trump card makes one much calmer and more willing to try.
Chen Mu heard Hong Wenli say that the zombies that were chasing Hong Wenli were attracted by the rotting flesh on the dog's bones by the roadside.
meat!
Do these zombies have an extreme fondness for eating meat?
In order to get a bite of meat, they even gave up the pursuit of Hong Wenli.
This shows that meat is extremely attractive to zombies.
Meat is very likely the common currency in the zombie apocalypse!
Coincidentally, Chen Mu had a lot of meat stored in his spatial ring.
Chen Mu has all kinds of meat, beef, pork, mutton...
This reflects Chen Mu's "better safe than sorry" mentality. After acquiring the spatial ring, Chen Mu stored a lot of food, household items, drinks, and all sorts of unexpected things in it.
Chen Mu even had a huge collection of airplanes, armored vehicles, and so on.
This ensured that wherever he was, as long as he had subordinates, he could immediately arm an army and survive for a long time.
Perhaps this is the end of the world, bringing Chen Mu PTSD.
Chen Mu remembered reading novels, especially post-apocalyptic novels, in the past.
After the protagonist is reborn, he has a particular fondness for hoarding supplies before the apocalypse.
Having survived the apocalypse, Chen Mu was reborn and developed a habit of stockpiling things whenever possible.
Anyway, the space ring is very large, even "boundless".
The little bit of stuff I stockpiled doesn't take up much space at all.
Now that he needed it, Chen Mu had plenty of meat in his hands and wasn't flustered at all.
No ghost money?
Not a bizarre apocalypse?
It's alright, Mr. Chen is still Mr. Chen!
Hundreds of zombies were about to rush towards Chen Mu in a massive swarm.
Hong Wenli is already eager to make his move and is ready to flee at any moment.
Xiaoye has already removed the wooden planks and turned them into a handy weapon.
Chen Mu remained calm and composed, stepped forward, and stood in front of Xiao Ye.
"Boss, I can take a beating better than you. I'll protect you from the back," Xiao Ye said.
Chen Mu rolled his eyes at him. What did he mean by "I can take a beating more than you"? It sounded like he was destined to be beaten up.
"Am I that weak in your eyes?" Chen Mu smiled slightly, revealing a mysterious smile. "What's the situation now?"
"A zombie apocalypse, huh, boss?" Xiaoye said, somewhat puzzled.
“Since it’s the end of the world, then it’s my world.” Chen Mu added, “No matter what kind of end of the world it is, it’s no exception.”
Hearing the confidence and composure revealed in Chen Mu's calm tone, Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment.
He obediently put down the wooden board and stood behind Chen Mu.
It must be said that Chen Mu has a certain charm; his words always seem convincing rather than just empty promises.
Chen Mu stood at the front, watching the surging zombies come like a tidal wave.
Chen Mu slowly raised his hand and pointed gently at the road in front of the zombie.
When Hong Wenli saw Chen Mu, he looked at him like he was an idiot.
He knew very little about Chen Mu, and just thought that Chen Mu must be out of his mind, still pretending to be cool at this time.
Once inside the eerie scene, everyone is suppressed by its eerie atmosphere. Even dragons must coil up and tigers must lie low; no matter how powerful you are outside, you're nothing but fish and meat here.
Neither of these teammates seems very reliable. We've come this far; if we don't run now, when will we?
Hong Wenli immediately prepared to flee.
He had already taken the envelope and run several steps behind him.
At the same time, the zombies roared and charged towards them.
The next second, a large pile of fresh meat suddenly appeared out of thin air at the location Chen Mu pointed to.
Stacks of fresh meat, like sandbags, were neatly piled on the ground, reaching almost half a person's height, blocking the path of the zombie horde.
None of the hundreds of zombies expected this turn of events.
They couldn't brake in time, and they all screamed as they crashed into the pair of "meat punching bags".
Instantly, the zombies were thrown into chaos, and the scene descended into complete disarray.
Hong Wenli, who was about to run, also heard the sound behind him.
He quickly turned around and saw this astonishing scene.
Hong Wenli never expected that Chen Mu's seemingly pretentious gesture of pointing would actually summon something, and such a large amount of meat at that.
This Mr. Chen is quite capable.
How did you do that? Did you use some kind of prop?
Hong Wenli was also aware of the existence of props, and some players could use props to achieve many bizarre effects in strange scenarios.
Could it be that the prop in Boss Chen's hand can instantly summon a bunch of meat?
This prop's effect is... kind of useless.
In the eerie scenes, players are mostly killed, with very few dying of starvation.
If it were really for the players to eat themselves, they definitely wouldn't need this much meat.
