Global Lords: The Undead's Mobile Fortress

Liu Ziyue was taken aback. Looking up, she realized the speaker was the group’s leader, Li Ziyu.

’This guy is so rude, why won’t he let me finish? Could my assessment have been wrong? Does he not like my type?’

The thought flashed through her mind, but the smile on her face never wavered. She quickly said, "I’d like to hire you all for a job. I’ll pay you a reward—100,000 for each of you."

Li Ziyu glanced at his Undead Fortress, then back at the beautifully smiling Liu Ziyue. With a sigh, he turned and walked away.

Huh?

Wait, huh?

’Why is he leaving?’

’You can’t just walk away! Bro, what am I supposed to do if you leave?!’

Liu Ziyue panicked. She never expected him to just turn and leave at the slightest disagreement, without even offering an explanation. She said urgently, "Please, wait!"

She had barely run two steps forward when the Elite Heavy Hammer Skeleton Warriors raised their Hammers, crossing them to block her path. Liu Ziyue quickly halted, her face turning deathly pale as she stared at the two Skeletons. She swallowed hard and shouted at Li Ziyu’s retreating back, "Help me! If you’re not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it! We can negotiate! How much money do you want?!"

Zhang Peng let out a disdainful snort in Liu Ziyue’s direction. "She really thinks she’s something special. So fake. Not an honest bone in her body."

After saying his piece, he turned and followed Li Ziyu.

Liu Xingxing, however, was a bit flustered. He looked from Li Ziyu to Liu Ziyue, clicked his tongue, and shouted to Li Ziyu, "Boss, wait! Why not let her finish?"

Without turning his head, Li Ziyu waved his hand dismissively and replied, "The battle’s not over yet. We don’t have time to waste. Meeting her was pointless."

’He’d only wanted to meet her on a whim, out of pure curiosity. If the person had been someone like Liu Xingxing, he wouldn’t have minded lending a hand. But this woman... what was her game, striking all those poses? Keeping someone like that around would just be asking for trouble.’

’Even if she’s a new Transmigrator, she should have figured out the basics of the situation by now. Yet she’s still going on about money. She’s either stupid or malicious. Judging by how she’s acting and her habit of always talking about money... heh, a classic green tea.’

’Li Ziyu had never been in a relationship, but that didn’t mean he hadn’t encountered green-tea types before. Several of his buddies had been ruined by them, so the experience had left a deep impression on him.’

"Young man, help me." Seeing that Li Ziyu had no intention of turning back, Liu Ziyue grew desperate. She turned her attention to the sweet, boyish Liu Xingxing, putting on a sorrowful expression as she pleaded for help.

Liu Xingxing was soft-hearted. Even though the Transmigrator City Lord had already lectured him twice, he couldn’t resist Liu Ziyue’s pleading. He was so conflicted he started scratching his head.

’Help her? How could I?’

’He was still relying on Li Ziyu’s "handouts" just to survive. There was no way he could help Liu Ziyue.’

With a sigh, he hurried over to Liu Ziyue and said helplessly, "Money is useless in this world. I’d advise you to leave quickly. The boss is already unhappy."

When Liu Ziyue saw that Liu Xingxing was actually engaging with her, a flicker of delight flashed in her eyes. She spoke hurriedly, "Young man, can you tell me how to get back to our original world? I’ll really, truly reward you."

Liu Xingxing shook his head. ’How does this woman still not get it?’ he thought. He said again, "Stop thinking about going back. We’ve transmigrated. All we can do is try to survive in this world. We can’t go back."

His words struck Liu Ziyue like a bolt from the blue, leaving her completely stunned. She just stood there, dazed.

Liu Xingxing gave her a pitying glance and turned to chase after Li Ziyu. Just then, Liu Ziyue suddenly started screaming like a madwoman, "Impossible! You’re lying! You have to be lying to me! There must be a way back! I *will* get back! My career, my house, my car... I worked so hard for all of it! What right do they have to throw me in a place like this?! What right?!"

Startled by Liu Ziyue’s sudden frenzy, Liu Xingxing glanced back in alarm, then hurried off to catch up with Li Ziyu and Zhang Peng.
