Chapter 865: Reaping the Benefits
Chen Futu ignored Jiang Chu's expectant gaze and said, "No need. Everyone should mind their own business. Whether you survive or not depends on your own abilities."
Jiang Chu glared at him. "Brother Chen, you can't do this. My father sent you, didn't he? Is this how you do things?"
He looked reprimanded, as if he thought Chen Futu was his father's subordinate or something.
Chen Futu sneered: "Young Master Jiang, my relationship with your father is not that deep. I came to find you and your siblings purely by chance. Since you can survive, I will only take Rumeng with me. You will have to figure out the rest yourself."
"No!" Jiang Chu stretched out his arms to block his way. "Even if you leave, you have to leave behind the supplies my father gave you."
"Who said the supplies belong to your father? Now I'm giving you two choices: either come with me or stay. The choice is yours."
"Chen Futu, you were only able to join Zhulu Academy because of my father's influence. Is this how you repay your benefactor?"
Jiang Chu's expression changed repeatedly, gradually becoming more stern and harsh.
Seeing this, Chen Futu's good mood was completely ruined. He told Jiang Rumeng to leave now, but Jiang Chu was still trying to stop him. Chen Futu's eyes flashed, and he kicked her. Jiang Chu screamed and flew from the door to the end of the corridor, unable to crawl back.
This scene terrified Han Yue and the two girls. Jiang Rumeng was about to rush over when Chen Futu said quietly, "If you want to get involved, then you should stay here too."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rumeng took a step back, glanced at Han Yue who was wrapped in winter clothes and holding food, and finally lowered her head.
"That's pretty much it."
Chen Futu took Jiang Rumeng to the rooftop. With a snap of his fingers, half a floor quietly descended from the sky, perfectly blending into the color scheme of the building's walls. It was also covered with a thick layer of snow, making it seem as if this half of the building had always been there, creating a harmonious appearance.
Jiang Rumeng's mouth dropped open in shock. Once inside the villa, she could hardly believe she was dreaming, especially since the temperature here was like a completely different world from the outside.
Chen Futu gave a brief introduction to the villa and reminded her not to talk nonsense, otherwise they would part ways.
Jiang Rumeng nodded vigorously, raising her little hand to vow that she would not mention it to anyone.
"Okay, let's stay here for a few days."
Chen Futu told Jiang Rumeng to take a shower first, and then he opened the regional channel.
He contacted Qin Xiaoman and Lu Luer.
The two of them are fine, the only problem is that Jiang Yi hasn't gone back yet and is still stuck with the Tianqing Guard.
Chen Futu said, "Don't worry about that. You two stay at home and don't go anywhere. I'll find a way back. Also, be careful of the ice corpses and remember to block the doors and windows. If you don't have enough supplies, let me know in advance and I'll try to send them to you."
"Okay, Brother Chen, please take care of yourself. Also, I've noticed that someone at Zhulu Academy seems to be plotting against you."
Qin Xiaoman issued a reminder.
Chen Futu then saw that a girl in the Zhulu Academy chat group was calling on everyone to unite and take action against him. It seemed that she was one of Jiang Rumeng's three roommates.
They said the people who came to pick up Jiang Rumeng had a lot of supplies that could ensure everyone's survival, and many people responded.
"Coming to cause me trouble? Interesting."
Chen Futu smiled.
He didn't mind killing a few more people and seizing their crystal cores, since those who could come to study at Zhulu Academy should all have some wealth.
Soon the entire dormitory building descended into chaos as many people searched for Chen Futu and Jiang Rumeng.
But they didn't know where Chen Futu and Jiang Rumeng went, and surprisingly, Han Yue didn't mention that the two of them went to the rooftop.
As night fell, two furtive figures entered the rooftop; they were Jiang Chu and Han Yue.
They didn't find Chen Futu and Jiang Rumeng, but only saw that half of a building had appeared out of nowhere, occupying the west rooftop, and there was only one door.
They tried knocking on the door, but Chen Futu did not respond.
Jiang Chu angrily banged on the door, but still received no response and could not get in.
"Did they leave long ago?"
Jiang Chu was furious, and coupled with the freezing cold, his third-level physical strength was not enough to withstand the cold, and his face had turned blue from the cold.
"It seems they really left. It's all your fault. Why couldn't you speak properly? Otherwise, they would have taken us away too."
Han Yue complained to Jiang Chu.
Jiang Chu scratched his head sheepishly, not knowing how to refute, and then shamelessly put his arm around Han Yue's waist and walked off the rooftop.
Chen Futu observed their behavior through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Jiang Chu is beyond saving; that woman has her completely under her thumb.
Fortunately, he saved Jiang Rumeng, which can be considered as doing his best to repay Jiang Yi for connecting him with Zhuolu Academy.
In the following days, the situation became even more serious than Chen Futu had anticipated. Food shortages led many to take desperate measures, and more and more people joined the team digging the snow track. Countless people died in the process due to the ice corpses.
Many girls went to the boys' dormitory to seek solidarity or refuge, including Han Yue and Sister Hong.
"Isn't this just courting death?"
Chen Futu pondered to himself that, in extreme circumstances, the girl would offer herself up, unaware that the men in the apocalyptic disaster were even more terrifying than the frozen corpses.
Sure enough, although the boys initially accepted the girls, their food was quickly consumed, so the boys' dormitory was destined not to support idlers, and the tragic fate of many girls was about to begin.
After much deliberation, Chen Futu posted a message in the channel, offering to buy up large quantities of crystal cores, as there would be food as long as there were crystal cores.
"Are there really any supplies?"
"Blue, where are you? How do we trade? I need the supplies now!"
"I want one too! I may not have much else, but I have a lot of crystal cores!"
Sure enough, it's easier to make money in the apocalypse.
Chen Futu knew he couldn't possibly go and trade with them personally, so he had them each prepare crystal cores. Then he summoned his evil corpse and self-corpse, gave them large and small packages of supplies to take with them, and, to be on the safe side, they all disguised their appearances to avoid being recognized.
The reason for not letting the benevolent corpse out is that we are worried he might have no bottom line. If he were to give in to his soft heart and hand over all the supplies, wouldn't that be a loss?
The evil corpse and the self-corpse went to the girls' dormitory first. The girls were happy to receive the supplies and did not fight over them. As for the boys' dormitory, various groups of different sizes had formed. Some of them tried to steal from the evil corpse, but the evil corpse killed an entire group by itself. Its head was hanging on the door, dangling and extremely terrifying. After that, no one dared to covet the supplies anymore.
Interestingly, Han Yue tried to establish a connection with the evil corpse, only to be slapped hard across the face by it. When Jiang Chu stood up for her, he was nearly kicked to death as well.
Chen Futu couldn't help but laugh at all this.
If Han Yue were to seduce a benevolent corpse, it might be somewhat useful, but trying to seduce an evil corpse in an attempt to get something for nothing is pure wishful thinking. The fact that the evil corpse didn't kill her is already a blessing in disguise.
