Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 129 - 117: Second Uncle’s Junior Brother
Chapter 129: Chapter 117: Second Uncle’s Junior Brother
“People from the upper-level camp?”
Again?
Su Lin’s heart tightened slightly.
They had just sent off the enigmatic envoys from the town-level camp, and now there was someone else at the village entrance?
He could almost be sure that this had to be another force from the town-level camp.
It seemed that his joke earlier was ill-timed. Su Lin softened his expression and said gently:
“Sorry, I was just trying to tease you earlier. How about we go check it out together now?”
Second Uncle must have already gone over there; going to the village entrance first can’t be wrong.
Song Yiyi wiped the slight redness from the corner of her eyes, sneaked a glance at Su Lin, and pouted a bit aggrieved:
“You have to promise not to bully me again…”
“Sure.”
“Then… let’s go.”
This little girl was really easy to coax.
Su Lin chuckled.
The two of them walked briskly towards the village entrance, side by side.
The closer they got, the more the clamor surged.
The villagers’ discussions were clear to the ear:
“Oh my! I thought there were no horses left now!”
“?”
Su Lin wondered.
“That must be a tamed mutant horse! Just like that big bird before!”
“Could it be another big shot from the city?!”
“No way? Last time, that big bird was so terrifying, and this time it’s just a horse…”
“At least it’s a town-level camp recruiting people, right?”
“Could it be that a county-level camp is here to recruit us from Wuyin Village?!”
The villagers were talking over each other, excitement mixed with disbelief.
Song Yiyi, who was walking behind Su Lin, pursed her lips disdainfully and glanced at Su Lin. She purposely “murmured to herself” at a volume he could hear:
“People from small places have no knowledge at all. They don’t even know that a town-level wasteland vending machine has a probability of refreshing beast taming room blueprints.”
Beast taming room blueprints? Su Lin silently sighed at the diversity of this post-apocalyptic world.
But he remained expressionless, pretending not to hear, only quickening his pace a bit:
“Let’s move faster.”
“?”
Song Yiyi widened her eyes in surprise. He didn’t hear?
She was about to “murmur to herself” again, but Su Lin had already strode forward.
“Hey! Wait for me!” She hurriedly trotted to catch up.
Pushing through the bustling crowd, the scene at the village entrance became clearer.
The crisp, urgent sound of horse hooves and the rumbling of wheels over the rugged road became more distinct.
A gray-brown carriage drawn by a towering, three-meter-tall, muscular horse was slowly entering the village entrance.
What caught everyone’s attention was that the carriage was driven by two beautiful women dressed in high-slit cheongsams!
The villagers were stunned, swallowing their saliva, realizing that with such beauties as drivers, the identity of the person inside could be imagined!
Su Lin blinked, and his heart skipped a beat.
In his “Observation” vision, the two women’s Qi and Blood were full and surging, making them formidable tendlocks warriors!
Their power was comparable to Old Su’s peak period!
Such individuals, merely as coachmen?
Luxurious!
So luxurious!
Who could be the person inside the carriage…
Su Lin watched enviously.
When could he flaunt like that?!
This setup practically screamed “status” on its face!
Compared to the low-key mystery of Mengyi and Dao Guan before, the presence of the carriage’s owner was overwhelmingly oppressive.
Even without showing his true self, an invisible majesty already enveloped the scene.
Su Lin’s gaze swept over, seeing Second Grandfather Su Qi and Old Liu standing solemnly at the village entrance, their expressions grave.
The carriage came to a steady halt.
The giant horse snorted, releasing two streams of scorching white breath, making the villagers in the front row subconsciously step back a few steps.
The two beautiful drivers looked down indifferently, glanced at Su Qi and the others, then turned and lifted the thick brocade veil, bowing to enter the carriage.
A moment later, the veil was lifted again.
A middle-aged man in his thirties, dressed in top-branded clothes from the pre-apocalypse era, with a golden wristwatch, leisurely stepped out of the carriage.
His modern attire was starkly out of place with the post-apocalyptic wasteland but carried a kind of indifferent control over everything.
Song Yiyi suddenly tugged hard at Su Lin’s sleeve and said urgently in a low voice:
“Don’t use ’Observation’ on him!”
Su Lin’s heart tightened, instantly withdrawing his probing gaze.
But even so, the man’s unabashedly explosive Qi and Blood, like a furnace, silently declared his identity — another genuine First-Transformed Martial Artist!
Right at this moment, Su Lin was shocked to find that his second uncle was staring intently at this man, his expression going through an unprecedented intense change.
“Zhang Xin! Ah Xin! Is that you?!” Su Qi, usually calm and composed, now exclaimed in disbelief, his voice filled with ecstatic joy.
He rushed forward excitably.
The two beautiful women frowned and were about to block him with a slight move.
The middle-aged man in the carriage, known as Zhang Xin, casually waved his hand, instantly halting the women’s actions.
Zhang Xin also smiled, opening his arms toward Su Qi, and called out a title that left everyone present stunned:
“Senior Brother, long time no see.”
Senior Brother?!
These two casual words exploded in everyone’s ears like a winter thunder!
Who was Su Qi?
The second-in-command of Wuyin Village!
Second Grandfather Su of the Su Family!
The son of Old Su!
He… he was the senior brother of such a prominent figure?!
As these thoughts rippled through their minds, the villagers of Wuyin Village shifted from tension and anticipation to indescribable excitement.
The big shot was an old acquaintance of Second Grandfather Su?
Could Wuyin Village be about to rise into glory again?!
At this moment, Su Qi had already embraced Zhang Xin in excitement.
After releasing him, he still held tightly to the man’s shoulders, his eyes filled with complex and indescribable emotions, his lips moved several times but eventually turned into a sigh:
“You’ve become younger!”
Zhang Xin laughed loudly:
“I broke through the first transformation, naturally became youthful again.”
“First Transformation! Great! Great! Great!” Su Qi nodded repeatedly, joy evident on his face.
Then, as if he had thought of something, his voice took on a cautious tone, mixed with deep yearning:
“The teacher…”
Zhang Xin’s smile faintly faded, his tone also became flat:
“I’ve been searching for him too.”
Su Qi’s eyes momentarily showed clear disappointment, but he quickly regained his spirits, forcing a smile:
“No matter! Now that we senior brothers are reunited, I’m sure we’ll find the teacher soon too!”
Zhang Xin nodded, affirmatively:
“Certainly.”
The two conversed as if no one was around, their words full of the excitement of reunion after a long separation.
For the first time, Su Lin saw his second uncle smiling so brightly, so unreservedly.
Su Qi held Zhang Xin’s hand tightly, leading him joyfully towards the Su Family’s Old Mansion, asking questions along the way, and learning that the junior brother was indeed doing well, making his smile even more radiant.
This was perhaps his second time being so happy since losing his son.
The first time was when witnessing Su Lin’s transformation.
The eye-catching carriage, driven by the two beautiful women, followed them leisurely.
On both sides of the road, villagers spontaneously parted, their curious and fearful gazes weaving into a net.
As they reached the Su Family’s Old Mansion’s gate, seeing that Second Uncle was about to close the door, Su Lin quickly pulled Song Yiyi’s small hand, squeezing inside.
Su Qi saw him, laughed heartily, his voice unusually cheerful:
“You’re here just in time! Come in, let me introduce you to an incredible uncle!”
The door closed slowly behind them, shutting out countless prying eyes outside.
Su Qi held onto Su Lin’s hand, pulling him briskly towards the hall.
Outside the house, the villagers left outside the door exchanged glances, ultimately giving way to envious sighs.
Being part of the Su Family… is truly wonderful!
