Chapter 654: A Wave of Zombies

Although Cui Song Mountain might be large, it seemed small after being crowded by 30 to 50 gangsters, or idle people.

Regardless of whether or not they were able to get accommodations, the people holding nets all headed towards the mountain because they were afraid to fall behind and give up the $500,000 reward.

“Bro Ye, let’s go together.” Xing Xing suggested.

I pondered it a little and told them go first. I went back to the hotel and rummaged out a whole bag of dried donkey meat from Eunuch Cao’s backpack for Obama.

“If a stranger enters the room, wake up Xiao Qin, okay?”

I changed the other end of the leash that was tied to the foot of Winnie’s bed into a slipknot, so Obama could break free on his own if he pulled hard enough.

As long as there was food, Obama didn’t care if he was free or not. He nodded to me as he ate, indicating that he would try his best to act as a gatekeeper, as long as I fed him good food again when I returned.

As the hotel attached to the special education school was converted from student dormitories, it was simple and crude, but the build quality was excellent (even the public toilet at the top of the mountain can withstand a magnitude 5.0 earthquake). It also had quite good sound insulation, so since Xiao Qin was in a deep sleep hugging my shirt, I don’t think she would be woken up by the butterfly catchers walking back and forth in the corridor.

Besides, even if they check in to the hotel, they won’t stay. Rather, they are already impatient and want to leave for the top of the mountain immediately.

As I watched Xiao Qin sleep sweetly while cradling my sweat stained t-shirt, I came to a decision.

The blue morpho butterfly is mines, I won’t let others snatch it away.

I already almost caught it yesterday, so today I’m just taking back what’s mines.

I have the ability and confidence. Since yesterday, I have been more familiar with Cui Song Mountain, at least more familiar with the terrain than the ones where it is their first time on the mountain.

Also, I probably still remember where Xiao Qin’s straw hat might have been lost. That straw hat is the key. As long as I find it, I will have a fifty percent better chance than the others.

As for why I have to get my hands on the butterfly… do you not want $500,000? If you give me some time, then I can come up with 500,000 reasons why I need the money.

I am someone who has a sister, as opposed to Loud Mouth who has a blog, I am someone who only has a sister.

Although Ai Mi makes a lot of money as a loli idol, I don’t want to see my sister become an object that perverted men fantasize about!

Also, her success was only because she was backed by Ai ShuQiao. Ai Mi might have a sweet appearance, but her attitude towards her fans is awful, almost as bad as Justin Bieber. (Even if they both spit off a balcony, a pervert like Director Cao might try to catch Ai Mi’s spit…)

Even if I do not know how to take custody of my sister from Ai ShuQiao for the time being, but I should always be prepared! I have to create an acceptable financial situation for Ai Mi where she does not have to sell her image.

It’s the same for Xiao Qin. Although Xiao Qin can put up with hard times, but I have decided to treat her equally as my real sister. So whatever Ai Mi has, Xiao Qin should also have.

Also, didn’t I just promise to buy her a pure white wedding dress when she gets married? Of course it’s going to be the highest grade. It must take a lot of money to buy the best wedding dress.

Wait a minute, who is Xiao Qin going to marry wearing the pure white wedding dress?

I can’t imagine Xiao Qin happily holding someone else’s arm while wearing a wedding dress, but if I give her my arm to hold, then won’t I have to buy myself a high class tuxedo to match the high class wedding dress.

It would be double the cost! Although I never said I would definitely marry Xiao Qin, but I should still prepare a tuxedo just in case.

Anyway, there are a ton of places where I could use the money, I could even donate a portion to the special education school. It would be better than those ruffians spending it all on nights of debauchery.

So I signaled to Obama with my eyes to take good care of the sleeping Xiao Qin. Obama nodded as he nibbled on the dried donkey meat.

Next, I also joined the army of people and headed towards Cui Song Mountain.

As I walked to the foot of the mountain, I passed by Mr. Zhang’s flower hut. I saw a cloud of dust leaving the ground behind them full of debris. Mr. Zhang pointed to the backs of those butterfly catchers and cursed”

“My flowers, my flowers are all ruined. You bastards, come back, pay for it!”

Since they had more numbers, they all ignored him. Mr. Zhang squatted next to his flowers with a desire to cry and sighed.

“Screw you guys. I was hoping to sell these flowers to find a second wife.”

Damn, Mr. Zhang, you might be old but your heart isn’t, does your grandson know you’re so cool? Did you know your grandson almost drowned today and it was my step-sister who saved him?

In order to not be recognized as the one who trampled a part of his flower field last night, I carefully walked around him. I don’t know where the Eunuch Cao and his grandson Ah Xing were. Maybe they were in the hut and enjoying the videos Eunuch Cao was able to secretly film?

I can’t focus on that right now, catching the butterfly is more important.

I suddenly remembered, I was too obsessed with the money, but I forgot to call the class leader to inform her “a wave was approaching”, so she would be prepared.

“Ring… ring…” after about five rings, the class leader finally picked up. Right as I was about to mention the butterfly business, the class leader beat me to it and said:

“Oh no, right now on the top of the mountain, our classmates… are all in a complete mess.”

Huh, those people just passed through the flower field, so it was impossible to reach the top of the mountain so quickly!

I realized the seriousness of the situation after listening to her speak.

As the Five Tiger Squad mentioned earlier, news of the $500,000 butterfly had already spread all over Dong Shan City.

Our classmate’s parents, naturally also heard about the news.

The parents immediately called to inform their sons or daughters who were already in Cui Song Mountain and asked them to look for the blue morpho butterfly. If they were able to catch the butterfly and got $500,000, then they would not have to attend middle school anymore.

The news spread in the blink of an eye and all the students went crazy.

Although they knew their parents were lying about the “no school” promise, but they can definitely buy a lot of things if they earned so much money at once.

The parents who were usually strict and quick to mention “other people’s children” will now worship their child and they would turn from a serf into a master.

If they get their hands on $500,000, they can leave home and go to a place where no one knows them, then rent a small room and spend all the day on the computer.

It’s hard to be a leader once everyone becomes disorganized.

There was even a fierce fight over the only insect catching net brought by an introverted boy. Finally, it was the class leader who ordered Loud Mouth to break the net and just barely calming down the situation.

But it was useless, the net may have broke, but it couldn’t stop everyone’s dream of becoming rich. Among the class leader’s loyal dogs, only Niu ShiLi still barely retained his sanity, the others had already joined in the search for the blue morpho butterfly.

The girls did not sit around idle either. Although they were not as violent as the boys, they also scurried around, hoping to find the flying $500,000 between the trees.

“If you have half a million dollars, what are you going to do with it?” The female students who appeared to be cooperating on the surface were chatting while looking for the butterfly.

“Of course, it’s to get plastic surgery in Korea.” A girl who was not confident with her own appearance replied.

“I would change it all to dollar coins and sleep on it. Then I would also feel like a tycoon.”

That’s how Xiong YaoYue, who was looking for the butterfly more fanatically than anyone else, answered.

There was also no one left to eat the barbecue. The class leader could only instruct Niu ShiLi, Loud Mouth, and the others to put the fire out first, then think about how to solve the current crisis.

“Teacher Yu, are you not going to do anything?” The class leader went to seek the assistance of the teacher, “The students are obsessed with money and now they are running all around the mountain without listening to instructions, what if…”

The class leader stopped halfway because teacher Yu along with Sun Yu was carefully approaching a light blue butterfly that was perched on a branch.

More than ninety percent of the students and teachers turned into zombies. They were zombies with eyes filled with only the $500,000.

The class leader was anxious that there was no way to restrain the students. Originally, ‘calling their parents’ was an effective threat, but now some money-grubbing parents said that as long as they caught the butterfly, they could not even go to school.

The few students who were not infected by the money-grubbing virus, in addition to the class leader, were only Loud Mouth, Little Smart, Niu ShiLi, Gong CaiCai, Zhuang Ni, and Mu ZhongMing, the one who played basketball with me.

“We don’t have any money at birth, nor do we have any at death.” Mu ZhongMing, whose family allegedly studies a lot of Buddhism, said gloomily.

Little Smart did not go catch the butterfly because her body was not good. Loud Mouth did not go because she was too fat and she didn’t like getting tired from moving too much.

Niu ShiLi was the class leader’s chief loyal dog. Now that the other members have betrayed them, he must be even more resolute.

Zhuang Ni, on the other hand, was not interested in the butterfly at all. Well, it would be a fool’s errand for her to try and catch the butterfly since even mosquitoes refuse to get close to her.

When Gong CaiCai saw everyone go crazy, she stood behind the class leader in fright. After a long period of thought, she finally gathered enough courage. In order to help the class leader, she shouted to the crowd:

“$500,000 is only equivalent to ¥3 million, it’s not worth it to get into an accident for that amount of money.”

Although Gong CaiCai is usually well liked, but many of the girls rolled their eyes at her supposedly harmless words.

The boys, on the other hand, stalled their movements and thought carefully about their chances of successfully catching the butterfly.

Sun Yu ran over from Mr. Yu’s with an ulterior motive and asked Gong CaiCai, “Hey, Cai Cai, are you free this weekend?”
