57 The Jade Talisman

You Cheng fell onto his knees as pain overtook him, his broad shoulders trembling.

“I’m so sorry… This is my fault… This is my entire fault…”

If he wasn’t loitering around, they would have met up at the apartment without issues. Cao Yi would have already left South City by now… and not ended up becoming zombie food!

His eyes turned blood red as rage overwhelmed him. He got up and grabbed his weapon and was about to rush toward the building’s entrance.

“You Cheng!” Everyone called out to him…

“Calm down!” Mr. Tang yanked him back. “Let’s make a plan and try our best to save the others!”

“There’s no need for that,” You Cheng smiled bitterly as he looked at the surrounding people.

“Thank you for accompanying me all the way here. This has nothing to do with you. We can leave together as comrades if I make it back. If I don’t…”

He was silent for a moment and then took off a jade pendant from his neck. “Take this to my second uncle. He will get you help.”

It was in that instance that Tang Mingchu’s dissatisfaction with him mostly disappeared. “Who wants the jade pendant that you’ve worn before? Keep it!”

As soon as he said that, a snow-white hand took the jade pendant.

“I’ve accepted it.”

That shocked everyone from the Tang family. “Susu?!”

Tang susu glanced at the jade pendant. Thinking that it was a smart move,008 said to her, “This is an ancient jade pendant that has been passed down for generations and has an extraordinary origin. It’s worth at least ten million!”

When it said that, it was drooling.

However, it didn’t know how significant the jade was.

In the plot, Ying Chengya even used this jade tablet to command all the soldiers within the four major bases!

As You Cheng’s second uncle would later ascend to a prominent position, he would hand over all his trusted subordinates and followers to You Cheng after he was in danger. This jade was like the Tiger Talisman from ancient times. Later, You Cheng would give it to his beloved female lead to play with.

Even if Tang Susu couldn’t use it, she was more than happy to reduce the female protagonist’s power.

She then looked up, “But we can’t accept a reward for doing nothing. If we watch you getting yourself in danger and doing nothing, and then take this jade pendant to your second uncle, what would he think of us? ”

You Cheng could say nothing. “I didn’t mean it that way.”

“Then I’ll take it as payment,” Tang Susu said and put it into her pocket without hesitation.

The way You Cheng looked at her changed. He understood her good intentions. He felt touched and, in a moment of fervor, he said…

“If I can come back alive, I promise to marry you!”

The others who were just about to heave a sigh of relief: “…”

Especially Mr. and Mrs. Tang, who looked at him with complicated expressions. Why did it feel like he was treating his marriage as a reward? And felt like he was bestowing it on Susu?

Tang Susu was speechless. “What are you thinking about? I’m helping you and then I have to sacrifice myself? Are you crazy? Or am I crazy?!”

‘Well done!’ Mr. and Mrs. Tang were secretly pleased. They had to let him have a taste of being rejected.

However, You Cheng thought she was just embarrassed. After all, Tang Susu used to declare that she would marry no one but him every day. How could she change her mind overnight?

After they moved away from the topic, the group did not dare to delay any longer. They were going to put on Invisibility Talismans and deliver a cache of weapons for the emergency.

The Invisibility Talismans would lose their effects when they reached the Bio Lab Building, so there should be no risk of them being exposed out in the open…

Regardless, the most important thing to them was to save those people.

However, just as they were about to put on the invisibility talisman, an unforeseen event occurred.

They could hear a large number of footsteps were approaching them and in less than a minute, a throng of people all appeared from the corner!

There were about twenty of them. Men and women, young and old, and in groups of twos and threes. They were in a sorry state, but they had fierce expressions on their faces as they charged over!

Tang Susu and her group were immediately put on high alert. She knew that some humans were a hundred times scarier than zombies as she raised the gun in her hand.

“Stop and don’t move a muscle! Who are you?!”
