BXBX NOVEL Chapter 433 No Point In Killing More Than I Have To
Once again, Liu Yu Zeng and Chen Zi Han got off the yacht first and used both Wang Chao and Liu Wei to pull the boat closer to the dock so I wouldn\'t have to see the zombies lurking just under the water\'s surface.
After everyone had made it onto the dock safely, I vanished the ship into my space. Maybe one day, when there were no zombies in the ocean, we could revisit going on a cruise, but the world would have to change a lot between now and then.
"Are we going to bother telling Bin An Sha where we are going?" I asked, looking specifically at Wang Chao.
"Fuck that," growled Liu Yu Zeng right before Wang Chao shook his head no.
"He is lucky to still be breathing after that stunt he pulled," added Chen Zi Han as he escorted me back to Cerberus and the bikes. "He can stay at the condo. I am sure he is smart enough to leave when he notices that there isn\'t any food in it."
"You would think that, wouldn\'t you?" chuckled Wang Chao. "But I\'ve seen him go a week before realizing that he needed something to eat."
"Meh," I said, shrugging my shoulders. Not my circus, not my monkeys.
"I think it would be a good idea to grab some supplies," suggested Liu Wei, completely changing the topic. "I haven\'t really furnished it yet, thinking I would have a few years before I was going to be living there," he continued as he got on Reaper.
"Wait… we are going to a cabin in the middle of the mountains that has not been furnished yet?" I asked, my eyebrows merging into my bangs.
"Yeah, is that going to be a problem? There should be some home decor stores in the nine hours it will take us to get there," replied Liu Wei, looking at me with concern.
"No, that sounds like heaven," I said with a sigh. I could decorate a whole new place and have it be exactly what I wanted. Images started going through my mind about what I was going to do. I might not have ever seen the place, but that didn\'t mean I couldn\'t plan. And if my ideas didn\'t fit, I am sure that we could easily knock down some walls to create the space.
"Might want to at least double that E.T.A," chuckled Wang Chao. "She has stars in her eyes. I don\'t think we are going to be rushing the process."
"And heaven help anyone who gets between her and her ideas," laughed Chen Zi Han as he picked me up and put me in Cerberus. "Might as well consider this a vacation and enjoy the journey."
"Works for me," I said, the smile growing bigger and bigger on my face.

We had driven maybe thirty minutes from the marina and into downtown City H on our way back out when we were stopped by a handful of humans blocking the only road.
Cerberus came to a stop behind the line of guys, and I just sat in the truck, more than willing to let my men handle things. Given my current mood, I was more than happy just to run the people over in order to get on with my shopping.
Resting my elbow on the door, I closed my eyes, thinking that maybe if I took a nap, I would get to the furniture store faster.
However, the best-laid plans…
"My Queen," said Cerberus hesitantly, his soft voice pulling me out of my nap.
"Are we there yet?" I asked with a yawn. I sat up straight and stretched out my back, hearing all the cracks and pops in it.
"I am afraid not," answered Cerberus. "We haven\'t left our position yet."
"Are the guys in trouble?" I said, opening my eyes to look around. We were still in the exact same position that we were in earlier.
"No," he confirmed. "Hower, there is a large group of zombies coming up behind us, and I don\'t think anyone has noticed."
I thought about what he said for a moment and realized that I didn\'t get my zombies from the huge horde that the guys were fighting when we first got here. Chances are, after I was poisoned, they just killed them all so that they could leave with me. Now was a good opportunity to make up the numbers.
"Thanks!" I called out to Cerberus as I got out of the cab and walked away from the guys and the humans blocking our path. Maybe I could give the zombies a little snack to speed up their cooperation and get rid of the nuisances in front.
I might have walked about ten minutes before I came up to the scouts. Cerberus was right that no one would have known that they were there. "Alpha," I growled at them and stood still, waiting to see what they would do next.
The zombie in the center looked at me and cocked his head to the side, showing off his array of teeth.
"I am not one you want to challenge," I assure him, calling my purple flame and setting him on fire. You always needed that one to act as a messenger to the others. Turning my attention to the scout to the right, I repeated my request.
It hissed at me before turning around and heading back the way it came.
I faced the remaining eight zombies, none of them daring to move more than their normal swaying. It took maybe five minutes or so before I saw movement off in the distance. Switching my vision to be able to see their flames, I watched as an almost solid wall of purple and blue flames rushed toward me.
I let out a roar to let them know exactly what they were rushing into and watched as the wall slowed down. I had a use for these zombies, so there was no point in killing any more than I absolutely had to.
