Chapter 28 The Evolution of the Female Crab
Chapter 28 The Evolution of the Female Crab
The White Bone Demon sat on her balcony, looking at the sunset with a sorrowful expression.
How did I end up running into Guo Jin when I was determined to get my driver's license?
Should we entrust him with the responsibility of security?
Is this still safe?
"We are all mortals, born into this world, toiling away day and night, never finding a moment's rest..."
The phone rang, and Gu Bai looked at the caller ID—Zhang Yu.
I didn't want to answer, so I hung up.
"You and me..."
Hang it up again.
"You and me..."
Helpless, the White Bone Demon answered the phone: "Are you that free?"
"Are you still angry? I heard from Guo Jin that you're taking your driver's license test. Why didn't you contact me? I could have expedited it for you," Zhang Yu said.
"Thank you, but I don't want to take the exam now," Gu Bai replied listlessly.
"Why not take the test? Drivers make a lot of money these days, and there are security guards escorting the vehicles, so it's absolutely safe," Zhang Yu quickly said.
Gu Bai was silent for a moment: "Is it possible that I didn't take the exam because of the security escort duty?"
"Why? Only with law enforcement can you be safe. Do you think you can deal with monsters all by yourself?" Zhang Yu said.
"But the one who will be following my guard is Guo Jin," Gu Baichou said. "If we really run into trouble and the monsters eat me up, he probably won't have finished reciting his poem yet."
Zhang Yu: "..."
If it were me, I wouldn't take the exam either.
There are risks to begin with, and with Guo Jin added, it's safe to say that even if there's nothing wrong, something will go wrong.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Guo Jin isn't capable of going on missions alone yet, so it couldn't be him," Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"Really?" The White Bone Demon's hope was rekindled.
"Of course it's true. I'll send you a list, you can choose whichever you like," Zhang Yu said.
Gu Bai rubbed his chin. There was no way out now, and the food reserves were dwindling day by day.
We'll just be sitting around and living off our savings.
I still need to take the driving test, as long as it's not Guo Jin.
It's best to choose an ordinary one.
Zhang Yu sent me a document.
Gu Bai glanced at it and fell silent.
Li Hongyi, Yang Xi, Chen Youzhi...
Dude, why are you taking such good care of me?
Can you choose any of the three top masters?
Are you planning to pick me?
"These are three of the top experts in our new district. Pick one of them, and I'll speak to them," Zhang Yu said.
"Three top experts escorting the car? Isn't that a waste of talent?" Gu Bai asked.
"There's nothing we can do. The situation is dire. The rumors about the Great Deer Temple incident are getting more and more outlandish. Even though we've already debunked the rumors and confirmed that no one was injured or killed, the people just won't believe it and insist that no one survived."
Zhang Yu was also helpless: "The drivers don't dare to transport pigs. No one in Liu Wu's circle dares to go there anymore. If the supplies aren't brought in soon, people will starve to death. Now everyone has to go out and escort the trucks."
"You should have your own driver, right?"
"The mosquitoes have become increasingly rampant lately, and all the mosquitoes have been sent out to catch them, so there's no one left to catch them."
Zhang Yu was also worried: "Masks, medicines, clothing materials—winter is coming soon, and all industries need transportation. Even if we split them into several pieces, it still won't be enough."
"These three are too formidable. They rush in whenever trouble arises, leaving me to wait to die?"
Gu Bai thought for a moment and said, "I want someone who is well-behaved, who can be afraid in the face of trouble but can't panic or act impulsively, and who knows to run away when something happens, and who will take me with him."
It's normal to be scared, as long as you don't run away screaming and lose your composure.
Don't chase after strange creatures or monsters; being too eager to make a name for yourself will only cause trouble.
"Just ordinary?" Zhang Yu asked.
"right!"
"Okay, no problem, I'll find it for you. You should take your driving test first." Zhang Yu said, "I'll take the third part of the test tomorrow morning, and then go straight to the fourth part. I'll pick up my driver's license this afternoon."
Gu Bai: "Can it be this urgent?"
"We'll make an exception for you. As long as your driving skills are fine, you should go rent a car now," Zhang Yu said.
No need to look for a truck, just drive Liu Wu's.
Since they were cooperating, Liu Wu had no intention of selling the car and deliberately kept it for him.
Mosquitoes are indeed rampant now; you can still see security guards catching mosquitoes on the streets.
However, the entire branch office was mobilized, solely to ensure the supply of essential goods; even three top-notch officers were dispatched to escort the shipments…
Not right.
Fishing Law Enforcement?
Sitting on the sidelines?
Gu Bai remembered Zhang Yu's earlier warning not to go near water sources.
In addition to the Liuliang River, the main river in the new urban area, there are also some smaller rivers and fishponds in the towns and villages.
If all water sources are patrolled by security personnel, the monster will be unable to hunt and will turn to livestock again.
"So that's how it is. Ensuring the supply of essential goods is one approach, while waiting passively for opportunities to come to you is another."
Gu Bai pondered, "The Public Security Bureau is probably thinking of forcing the monsters to attack the livestock, but they don't know exactly where, so they're using a vehicle escort."
Another reason they transported livestock was to gather food together.
"The police now know that monsters also get hungry, and once there is no yang or yin energy, they will have to come out to hunt out of instinct."
"They want to force the monsters lurking in the shadows to emerge!"
What a calculated scheme!
The clever White Bone Demon saw through everything.
Fortunately, I am a White Bone Demon living in the human world, and I have already infiltrated the human community.
"Luckily I had some food stored up, otherwise I would have been exposed before I even got my driver's license."
After thinking it through, Gu Bai sent a message to Liu Wu: "Uncle Liu, I'll be driving tomorrow after I finish my driver's license test."
"So fast?" Liu Wu exclaimed in surprise.
"It's urgent, we're short of drivers right now," Gu Bai said.
Liu Wu said, "Yes, I've heard about it too. Be careful, I really don't dare to go."
"There are security guards escorting the vehicle now, so it should be safe," Gu Bai said.
"The public security officers are just ordinary people. Just be careful and run if anything seems wrong. Your life is the most important thing. It's not shameful to live," Liu Wu said.
"I know."
"By the way, I heard that young man named Guo Jin works in the Public Security Bureau. You absolutely must not choose him. My nephew said he's not quite right in the head."
"Of course, I'll choose a normal one. I don't want experts, I don't want novices, just an ordinary person who runs away when trouble comes."
Liu Wu: "Great wisdom lies in not spending money recklessly, but saving it, as the economic climate may become increasingly difficult."
"I know."
"I'll call and ask who's selling livestock right now, and I'll get back to you before I leave tomorrow."
The White Bone Demon turned off her phone, and life regained its hope.
Liu Wu was insightful; he knew things would get increasingly difficult in the future, so they had to stockpile more grain.
First, fill the granary.
……
the next day.
Gu Bai got up early and arrived at the driving test center, where there were quite a few people.
Clearly, he wasn't the only one who requested an expedited service.
Gu Bai also discovered that these people were not novices; most of them were experienced drivers with very skilled driving techniques.
Moreover, these people were roguish and cocky, with cigarettes dangling from their lips, betel nuts chewing, and an air of arrogance and ruthlessness between their brows.
Neither of them are easy to deal with!
Gu Bai lined up obediently, and the examiner Gu Qingyi came over again: "You little rascal, I was just teasing you before."
"Is that so?" Gu Bai glanced at her, sensing that something was amiss.
After just one night apart, Gu Qingyi's yang energy had increased considerably, making her even more alluring.
Female crabs evolve, leading to a surge in sales of hairy crabs?
Could it be that she took a trip to Yangcheng Lake?
"You saved me, how could I be ungrateful? I'll treat you to dinner later," Gu Qingyi said.
Gu Bai didn't agree, but instead asked, "What's wrong with these people? They don't look like law-abiding citizens?"
"Re-employment of troubled youth." Gu Qingyi whispered, "After the Mainland Temple incident, the drivers dared not drive anymore. Some unemployed people were struggling to make ends meet, and they heard that they could make money by driving livestock, so they came here."
"Aren't they afraid?"
"They are more afraid of poverty. We tried to persuade them, but to no avail. They argued that it was to contribute to society, so we had no choice but to agree."
"Damn it, you advised them not to take the risk, but you're rushing me into taking one, huh?"
"It's okay, I'll protect you."
"You... wait... I must say, you're surprisingly calm in the face of trouble, which is a good thing. Let me ask you a question: if you encounter something strange again, what are you planning to do?"
"Call for backup, then run."
"It's a pleasure working with you."
