White Bone Evolution Guide

Chapter 35: Did they manage to scam the White Bone Demon?

The loud explosion startled the men at the pig farm.

Gu Xiaojiao rushed over immediately.

"Don't come any closer. Set up a cordon and isolate this area," Gu Bai said.

"Yes, Brother Bai."

Gu Xiaojiao responded loudly.

Gu Bai opened his phone and sent a message to Gu Qingyi: "Two monsters appeared at the pig farm. They've been killed. I just blew one up."

Gu Qingyi replied, "We've also killed two people here. Hanzi confirmed that they were people who came up the mountain. Be careful over there. We're still investigating."

Turn off your phone.

Gu Xiaojiao took ropes and sticks from the pig farm to use as a warning line.

"Brother Bai is awesome, a solo kill!" After finishing his work, Gu Xiaojiao gave a thumbs up, hunched over, and squatted down to the side.

"Let's go inside, it's too cold outside," Gu Bai said.

"Brother Bai, you go in. I'll stay here and guard the scene. Old Guo said we need to protect the scene. If anything gets inside, it'll be a real problem."

Gu Xiaojiao rubbed his hands together: "I'll just start a fire here later."

"You're quite dedicated," Gu Bai said.

"Making twenty or thirty thousand a day." Gu Xiaojiao took a deep drag on his cigarette. "After half a lifetime, this is the first time I've had a job that pays this much. I'd be willing to run around naked, let alone endure the cold."

Aren't you afraid of monsters?

"They all have two shoulders and a head, but when faced with a grenade, aren't they just pieces scattered all over the place?"

Gu Xiaojiao said nonchalantly, "Besides, that guy at the pig farm didn't even use a grenade yet."

"That's just the lowest level monster," Gu Bai said calmly. "There are much stronger ones."

"I can become stronger by practicing martial arts too." Gu Xiaojiao opened his phone, quickly typed, and replied to the message.

That's awesome!

Gu Bai had witnessed firsthand how this person was willing to risk their life for money.

He thought for a moment, then went back to the pig farm, found a brazier, started a fire, and moved two chairs.

Not long after, Zhichao arrived, along with several other men, and they warmed themselves by the fire outside.

"Boss Gu, the pigs are all loaded onto the truck, and the doors are closed." Zhichao said, "My mom is cooking; we'll eat together later."

"No need for that," Gu Bai said, waving his hand.

"It's alright, it was prepared all along, it's just a big stew, don't mind it."

Zhichao offered a cigarette to everyone, took a puff, and asked, "Any news?"

"Well... they've turned into monsters, and we're tracking them." Gu Bai hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"A monster?" Zhichao paused, biting his cigarette tightly. "What exactly is that?"

"I don't know," Gu Bai said.

Gu Xiaojiao said, "It's not clear yet. All we know is that it's related to mosquitoes. People bitten by mosquitoes who don't receive timely treatment may become monsters."

"Then I..." Zhichao touched the gauze on his neck.

"You're fine, the security has been taken care of for you," Gu Xiaojiao said, waving his hand.

"But they..."

"That's fate." Gu Xiaojiao exhaled a puff of smoke. "A person's life can end at any time. The police have been mobilized now. Whether they can come back or not depends on fate."

The atmosphere grew heavy as Gu Bai fiddled with the brazier.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, the night grew darker and darker, and the cold wind howled.

The men chatted casually.

Half an hour later, the food was ready.

Gu Bai tried to refuse the pork stew with cabbage several times, but couldn't. Holding the bowl, he didn't know how to start eating.

Gu Xiaojiao shoveled food into his mouth: "In this weather, it feels so good to have something hot. Why isn't Brother Bai eating?"

"I ate too much when I came out, and now I can't eat a single bite," Gu Bai said.

The men, shoveling food into their mouths, glanced at them.

Gu Bai realized that there might be a misunderstanding, that he might think that Gu Bai looked down on the food.

Gu Xiaojiao said cheerfully, "Before we came, Lao Guo told me not to eat too much, but you wouldn't listen. Now you can't even eat this good food. Give it to me, I'm still hungry."

As he spoke, he took the bowl from him and shoveled rice into his mouth.

Gu Bai was taken aback; this kid really knew how to handle things.

While eating heartily, he mumbled, "Let me tell you, when we came here, Brother Bai was afraid he'd be hungry tonight, so he forced himself to eat three bowls of rice and a bowl of noodles. Now he's out of luck."

"Haha, I also ate two big bowls tonight."

"It's too late. Boss Gu didn't do any heavy work, so his digestion is slow, and we can't keep up."

The men had almost finished eating and put down their bowls and chopsticks.

Gu Bai said, "I didn't expect something like this to happen today. You guys know how to cook, otherwise I would have eaten less."

Gu Xiaojiao swallowed gulps, and in the end, he almost forced himself to swallow it.

He put down his chopsticks, lit a cigarette, and sat comfortably in his chair: "This tastes the best. I haven't had a decent meal in the city lately."

"Isn't the food in the city much better than what we have here?" a man said.

"Damn it, there are mosquitoes in the city now, and the shops close early. I bring the pigs back every day, and there's no barbecue. I just make myself a bowl of plain noodles."

Gu Xiaojiao said, "In the past, at this time, I would still be out eating skewers."

"Who says otherwise? Back in the day, we would be playing cards at home," a man chimed in.

The atmosphere became lively again, and Gu Xiaojiao chatted with them while also playing on his phone.

Gu Bai glanced at it and saw that he was chatting with a woman with a seductive profile picture. Her name was Yanran, and the conversation was ambiguous, explicit, simple, and direct.

Ding Dong

Gu Bai's phone rang. When he opened it, he saw a profile picture of a seductive woman with black stockings and white legs, requesting to add him as a friend.

Yanran?

I don't know him... Wait, Gu Xiaojiao?

Gu Bai looked at Gu Xiaojiao again; the name and profile picture were exactly the same.

"Is this Yanran your girlfriend?" Gu Bai asked.

Gu Xiaojiao's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Brother Bai is interested too?"

"What do you mean? What interest do I have in your girlfriend? I was just asking," Gu Bai said, frowning.

"I don't have a girlfriend, she was just added on a business card," Gu Xiaojiao said in a low voice.

"Small cards?"

"In-home massage."

Gu Xiaojiao lowered his voice: "Another Photoshop freak."

"You pushed it to Guo Jin?" Gu Bai asked.

"No, Lao Guo doesn't do that," Gu Xiaojiao said in a low voice.

"No need, she just suddenly added me, I don't know where the number came from." Gu Bai pulled up the new friend request.

"Hey, this kind of person is definitely just randomly adding people. They're probably scammers, casting a wide net and catching whoever they can," Gu Xiaojiao said.

"Since you know that, why are you chatting with me so happily?"

"Since I'm just killing time anyway, and someone gave me some nice pictures, why not look at them? As long as I don't pay them, it's fine."

It's strange, whether it's true or not, before I would delete people instantly if they didn't say a word or place an order, but this person hasn't deleted me and even posts photos every day.

Good grief, so their main focus is on getting things for free?

Gu Bai gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Bai, if you like, I'll take you to a great place when we get back to the city. I guarantee it'll be a lot of fun," Gu Xiaojiao whispered.

"Are there still places like that at night?"

"It all depends on the circumstances. Everyone needs to make a living. The worse the environment, the more places like this you'll find." Gu Xiaojiao took a puff of his cigarette. "Snakes have their ways, and rats have theirs."

Gu Bai ignored the friend request, but it popped up again the next second. He ignored it again, and it kept popping up...

"You're definitely trying to scam me?" Gu Bai chuckled. Trying to trick the White Bone Demon?

Click "Agree".

ding dong...

The sound rang out, and photos were displayed one after another.

Gu Bai glanced at it, his pupils shrinking sharply. This is, damn it, a photo of a dead person?
