19: rumor?

"Living dead," according to Chen Ming's understanding, could be equated with Zombies, meaning dead people who are alive.

"Could it be, someone really fished up a Zombie virus and used that thing in the real world? Wanting to retaliate against society?"

Chen Ming found it hard not to suspect that the fishing system was deliberate; with its technological prowess, analyzing a person's character, good or bad, was no difficult feat.

Just as he was about to click the news link to view it on the webpage.

Wang Wei sent another new message.

: Your premonition is going to come true! I heard that the Eagle Faction side has already experienced a Zombie virus outbreak, just like in the movies, and the higher-ups are still trying their best to conceal it.

Out of consideration for their classmate relationship, Chen Ming kindly reminded him: Try to stock up on more food, better safe than sorry, at least enough to last until you fish up the ability to protect yourself.

As for whether the other party would listen, that was his own business.

Wang Wei: It was better when you didn't mention it, bringing that thing up just makes me angry, it gets worse every day, I finally managed to stay up until twelve o'clock, waiting for the fishing attempts to refresh, guess what I fished up?

Chen Ming asked curiously: What?

Wang Wei: A box of toothpicks! Angry face emoji.

Chen Ming replied with a head-patting comforting emoji.

Wang Wei: Gotta go, the teacher is coming my way.

Chen Ming replied with the word "Okay".

Then he clicked the link and went into the browser.

There was only a screenshot and a text description.

The image was very blurry, seemingly taken from the air, like by a drone or something.

It could be seen that a group of people were rushing towards another group of fully armed Special Ops Soldiers, their teeth bared and claws brandished, the trajectory lights of the bullet spray were clearly recorded, and flames erupted everywhere.

This scene truly had a bit of the flavor of a Zombie siege.

Moreover, from some details in the photo, such as the high wall and the barbed wire on the wall with sharp blades to prevent prisoners from climbing over.

Chen Ming judged that the scene was a prison.

He couldn't help but recall the news he saw on Yang Shi One last night, about Walton Prison No. 13 being sealed off.

As for whether there was a Zombie virus outbreak, the probability in Chen Ming's mind was infinitely close to 100%.

After browsing through all the text, Chen Ming was not in a hurry to exit and scrolled down to the comments section.

This news had already exploded, with over ten million views, and the number of comments, likes, and shares were all 999+.

He wanted to see how others viewed this matter.

Wind, Flowers, Snow, Moon: Fake at first glance, how could there be such a thing as a Zombie virus.

I Love Mermaids: Eight out of ten times it's a scene taken from a Zombie movie, deliberately spreading rumors, isn't it disgusting?

Qiwei Dihuang Wan: My mom believed it and has already started rushing to the mall to buy survival supplies, sigh, it's really laughable, I can't even stop her.

Music Box: Don't believe it, this is a scene from the movie "Zombie Rising".

"Zombie Rising?" If Chen Ming hadn't seen this movie, he would have believed it.

There was no such scene in the movie at all, and it was completely unrelated to a prison.

The number of likes was quite high, over a thousand, but in the latest comments, there were already replies similar to this: Liar, an hour and a half, I didn't skip a second, couldn't find it at all! Reported!

Just as Chen Ming wanted to continue browsing other comments, the screen suddenly froze, then reloaded, and a prompt popped up: This information has been deleted by the creator or platform!

This deletion, on the contrary, gave Chen Ming a feeling of "protesting too much".

Or perhaps, the higher-ups were afraid of public opinion fermenting, triggering a nationwide panic buying frenzy, causing resource shortages, and disrupting the market.

Without Ten Thousand Realms Fishing, Chen Ming might have leaned towards the latter.

However, after obtaining a large number of rewards beyond reality from Ten Thousand Realms Fishing, Chen Ming didn't think the Zombie virus was that novel, or that it definitely wouldn't appear.

He decided to contact the security company and urge them to quickly produce the design blueprints and start the renovation.

During this period, Chen Ming would live in a hotel.

After all, the renovation process, not to mention the noise and people coming and going, was not conducive to Chen Ming's secrecy work.

The security company side also kept guaranteeing that the design blueprints were in the final stages, and the materials were being rushed in the factory twenty-four hours a day.

At that time, they would just need to assemble them, which wouldn't waste much time, and it would definitely be completed within a week.

To keep Chen Ming, this important customer, satisfied, the security company also specifically expanded several production lines.

He hung up the phone.

Chen Ming had now arrived at a five-star hotel.

"Mr., how can I help you?" The front desk Miss saw that Chen Ming had arrived in a sports car and was particularly enthusiastic.

"What is your most luxurious room?" Chen Ming asked.

"For the presidential suite, it's a hundred thousand a day, covering all expenses, such as three meals a day, hot spring service, and so on."

"I'll take it for a month first." Chen Ming took out his bank card and said to the front desk Miss.

"Okay, I..." Halfway through her sentence, the front desk Miss suddenly froze, "Mr., you want to take it for a month?"

She seriously suspected that she was hallucinating.

One hundred thousand a day, thirty days a month, that would be three million.

"Yes." Chen Ming nodded heavily.

"Okay! I will process it for you right away." The front desk Miss had at one point suspected that Chen Ming was deliberately teasing her.

However, upon seeing the words "Card Swipe Successful", that thought vanished instantly.

"Mr., here are your bank card and room card, please keep them safe." She bowed ninety degrees and presented them with both hands.

She had originally wanted to strike up a conversation, but after personally witnessing Chen Ming's financial strength, she decisively gave up the idea.

People, it's valuable to know your place!

[Three million consumption successful! Ten times rebate triggered, congratulations Host for obtaining thirty million da xia coin!]

"Thanks." Chen Ming retrieved his bank card.

Not only did the money not decrease, but he also gained tens of millions more.

Chen Ming was not in a hurry to check in; he first returned to Fushan Residence to put the ten million worth of oil delivered by the fuel company into his storage space.

After confirming there were no omissions, Chen Ming returned to the hotel and checked into the presidential suite.

Standing by the window, looking at the beautiful streetscape of more than half the city, Chen Ming had to admit once again that there was a reason for things being expensive.

All the facilities in the room were complete, made from the best materials and brands in the world, with no cutting corners at all.

The menu was on the coffee table; if he wanted to eat anything, he could pick up the nearby internal phone and call for it anytime.

Although the hotel package stated three meals a day, eating as much as he wanted was not a problem, of course, this was limited to Chen Ming alone.

The hotel dared not be negligent towards a major customer who spent three million.

They specifically assigned a head chef, always ready to prepare meals for Chen Ming and send them over at the first opportunity.

The general manager specifically @everyone in the employee group, saying three times that anyone who dared to neglect Chen Ming would be fired without discussion!

On Chen Ming's side, he didn't expect or count on the Eagle Faction being able to suppress and resolve the Zombie virus outbreak problem.

He only hoped that it would spread into the country later, at least until the villa's safety renovation was completed.

He had almost finished stocking up on resources, only lacking a sturdy fortress that could prevent the invasion of a corpse tide.

He turned on the TV and switched to Yang Shi One.

The host was busy "debunking rumors," telling the public to wait for official news and not to easily believe the so-called "leaks."

This was standard procedure, which Chen Ming could understand; the authorities certainly couldn't easily jump to conclusions and take the lead in causing panic.

It didn't matter, anyway, it didn't delay him from "fishing".
