Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 139 - 125: Calamity Averted Early

Chapter 139: Chapter 125: Calamity Averted Early

Outside Wuyin Village, a group of people wearing cloaks trudged wearily towards the west.

Sand and dust billowed, carrying a faint metallic scent in the dry air.

“Captain, are we really going back in such a disgraceful manner? Why not take a chance!”

There were five people in total, one of whom spoke.

The person addressed as captain was the burly man who had previously bid against Xu Zhong.

Sun Kui, the leader of Puzhong Village.

“A chance? What chance? Just the five of us, going to take on Xu Zhong’s group?” Sun Kui sneered.

One person said solemnly, “There should be others from the West District villages ambushing Xu Zhong on his way back.”

“So what if they are?” Sun Kui scoffed, “One moment they all promised, whoever lent me money to buy the blueprint would be regarded as a brother village. Did you see anyone speak up? A rabble of fools! Not half as united as those villages in the East District! Will you go join their mess?”

The person opened his mouth but had no words.

It was also the Su Family in the East District that made it look so united; without the Su Family starting, other villages in the East District would have hesitated as well.

Everyone knows the bigger picture, but when personal interests are involved, it’s like they all lose their brains.

“But… if the people in the East District really want to upgrade their camp, won’t we all be forced to join? Without guns or bullets, how will we survive then?”

The few people were worried.

This was precisely what the people in the West District were concerned about.

Just like Zhong Wubin and others were worried before.

Back then, Zhong Wubin and Black Scale Village were worried that after Yun Village upgraded to Town Level, it would forcibly bring in villages from the East District to fill the population.

But now Yun Village is gone, and people from the West District are the ones worried about being dragged down by Wuyin and Quanzhou villages.

Upgrading the camp is a good thing, but if the upgrade happens without weapons, the good thing will turn bad.

Let alone the nightly beast invasions—most people wouldn’t be able to withstand it!

“Those bastards from the Su Family! If it weren’t for them meddling, the blueprint would have been ours!”

Sun Kui gnashed his teeth in anger, his eyes filled with violence:

“Upgrading the camp? It’s not that easy; Night of Survival is near, and all villages are about to start Hunting Lords! Su Can, the old man, might only be on the verge of breakthrough to First Transformation, but I’ve looked closely, Wuyin Village is severely lacking manpower now! They don’t even have forty Flesh Lock Martial Artists!

One person exclaimed in shock: “Captain, are you thinking?”

“That’s correct! Wait for them to prepare to hunt the Lord, then we’ll add fuel to the fire! Even if we can’t severely wound Su Can, at least we can delay their upgrading of the camp! And Xu Zhong—Quanzhou Village doesn’t have a single First Transformation martial artist, which gives us even more opportunity!” Sun Kui’s eyes flashed coldly.

The other four had the same bloodthirsty glint in their eyes.

If they couldn’t buy the blueprint, then nobody would live!

“Unfortunately, you won’t have that chance.”

As soon as Sun Kui finished speaking, a strange elderly voice suddenly came from not far away.

“Who?!” Sun Kui was startled.

He turned his head to see that amidst the swirling sand and dust, several hundred meters away, two groups of people had silently surrounded them!

Among them, Xu Zhong was clearly present!

Liu Jun stepped forward, hands behind his back, and sighed:

“When people get old, their thoughts become rigid. But fortunately, the elderly are best at learning from mistakes. Last time I valued Su Lin, this time I listened to him, brought people over to find you, and ended up hearing your ’heroic speech’… Good, good, now this old man won’t hold back anymore!”

After speaking, his eyes flashed coldly, looking at Sun Kui and his men, filled with killing intent.

Xu Zhong’s eyes were equally cold, hiding his sense of relief.

This time, Wuyin Village took the initiative to come and said they could escort them back to the village, but with the condition that they help kill Sun Kui’s group.

Xu Zhong initially grumbled about Wuyin Village being too petty, thinking it was excessive to want to eliminate the opponent just because Sun Kui showed some hostility at the auction.

To their surprise, the opponent truly had the courage to sabotage the two villages!

Indeed, once there was hope of upgrading the camp, the villages nearby became complete mortal enemies with them!

They must not be underestimated!

Xu Zhong took a deep breath, realizing that he would need to be cautious everywhere in the future!

It would be best to learn from Su Lin, seeing someone show hostility, immediately handle them!

Xu Zhong bowed to Liu Jun:

“Thank you again for Wuyin Village’s assistance; as a repayment, everything on these people is yours.”

“Alright!”

Liu Jun responded and directly lifted the Giant Axe, charging at the five!

“Kill them!”

The strongest Xu Zhong refused to lag behind, directly targeting the opponent’s leader.

Zhang Huaying picked up a big hammer, laughing loudly and bloodthirstily as he followed his leader’s steps.

Zheng Weimin from Wuyin’s hunting team followed Liu Jun, expressionless.

Both sides suddenly rushed out with about ten people, directly attacking Sun Kui’s group.

The gap was so great; it was almost a one-sided slaughter.

…

Su Lin had no idea that with a single thought, he had preemptively eliminated a threat to Wuyin Village.

Besides wanting to seize the opportunity to wipe out a group showing hostility towards him, his main motive was greed for the money on them.

There was big money!

Regardless of whether they would harm Wuyin Village, since they’ve shown hostility, might as well rob them!

With ten gold coins, who else should he rob if not them?

But Su Lin didn’t openly admit he wanted the money, instead convincing Liu Jun by claiming he was eliminating danger early.

While Liu Jun and Xu Zhong collaboratively exerted effort to kill Sun Kui’s group.

Su Lin headed out again, arriving at the Su Family’s Old Mansion.

Amidst the dragging Slime Floor, a plank connects the inside and outside of the Su Family.

Su Lin treaded across this moat-like Slime Floor, entered the Su Family, and saw his sister-in-law and Su Yingying, mother and daughter, each holding a broom, cleaning the house.

Seeing his cold and stunning sister-in-law, Su Lin grinned:

“Sister-in-law, where’s Uncle?”

Zhao Yaxin looked up at him once before lowering her head and continuing to clean, speaking plainly:

“Several wanderer forces have come to the village; he and Ye Xin’an are handling it.”

Managing village human affairs is part of Team One’s responsibilities.

However, a certain Team One vice-captain doesn’t manage things, so the old guy has to clean up for the young.

“Haha, is that so!”

Su Lin felt no guilt over this.

Despite taking up the vice-captain role, he wasn’t cut out for the work; otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of retirement after saving up several hundred thousand.

Su Lin chuckled again, looking at his little niece, holding a broom as tall as herself and diligently sweeping the floor, recalling a previous doubt, said:

“Sister-in-law, now that there’s enough beast meat at home, why not let Yingying start training martial arts?”

Su Yingying’s eyes lit up, she raised her little face and asked:

“Can Yingying become Superman like Little Uncle, Mommy, Grandpa, and Great Grandpa?”

“No.”

Zhao Yaxin didn’t even think, lightly tapped her daughter’s little head, and coldly refused.

Su Lin looked puzzled: “Why?”

Su Yingying was also confused holding the broom taller than her, yearning to ask.

“Unless absolutely necessary, training martial arts should ideally start after ten, even fifteen—to avoid premature fixation of body and bones, leading to endless harm. It’s the same reason for Xiao Lu from the Liu family.” Zhao Yaxin sighed softly, explaining.

“Ah, I see.” Su Lin was enlightened, realizing there was a reason behind it.

Zhao Yaxin inquired:

“So what brings you over here?”

“Do I have to have a reason? Can’t I just visit?”

“You always have a reason before visiting; this time, there’s no way you’re here for nothing.”

Zhao Yaxin squinted at him, her Phoenix Eyes rolled in an unamused white, a touch of subtle charm showing.

Su Lin sheepishly chuckled, forced to admit:

“I want a piece of Treasure Meat from home.”

“In the cellar, just take it yourself.”

Zhao Yaxin promptly allowed him to fetch it himself.

Such conduct warmed Su Lin’s heart.

The aromatic wood is ready.

The Treasure Meat is available.

Not to mention beast meat; it’s the least of his concerns.

Now, with all materials gathered, Su Lin is even closer to building a Tier One Mechanism earlier than Xu Zhong!

While he’s now only at Level 3 Safe House!
