Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 820: Thought to Be the King
Chapter 820: Chapter 820: Thought to Be the King
Upon hearing about the second evaluation of the bounty teams, Liang Jiuhui’s first reaction was that it was too frequent.
The communication between bases was already extremely difficult, with messages sometimes taking a month or even several months to be relayed. Now, it had not even been a year since the teams were last evaluated, and to spend time and energy on another evaluation seemed inhumane.
“This time, we are giving priority to your base, also as an example for other bases. We hope Base Leader Liang can consider and set the date for the competition as soon as possible,”
Han Yue said with a smile.
“The base has been very busy lately, and moreover, the captain of the Heart Talk Team is currently unwell, so I’m afraid we cannot participate first,”
Liang Jiuhui deflected with the facts, hoping to avoid his base being scolded as leaders?
Wishful thinking!
“It’s okay, we can wait. There’s no urgency in these few days, Base Leader Liang doesn’t need to rush for this,”
Han Yue showed no signs of backing down, which annoyed Liang Jiuhui somewhat, but then Sheng Jing quickly handed over the accommodations she had arranged for Han Yue and his group, which somewhat improved Liang Jiuhui’s mood.
Sheng Jing had a nickname; she was known for her competent business handling and quick response, earning her the title of “strongest secretary” to the base leader. The location she had arranged for Han Yue and his team was apparently a sizable mansion, but it was located to the southeast of the base.
This direction was diagonally opposite to some of the old teams, including the Heart Talk Team, making it unlikely even for Han Yue with his Mental Element Ability to precisely reach the Heart Talk Team from there.
“Alright then, just patiently wait. I see you’ve brought quite a few people this time, so I specially arranged for our base’s largest residence for you all. I hope you find the accommodations satisfactory during this time,”
Liang Jiuhui finally responded.
After sending Han Yue and his group away, Liang Jiuhui couldn’t shake the feeling that he might have overlooked something important.
“Darn it, go tell Su Jin and the others to inform Kou Ning that Han Yue has come! Never mind, I’ll try contacting him by phone first,”
Liang Jiuhui muttered to himself as he picked up the phone, and Sheng Jing, who sat beside him, shrugged and sat down to continue working.
Kou Ning, upon hearing the news, suddenly found his purchased meat less appetizing.
“Why don’t I just kill him? That would solve it once and for all; you guys don’t like him anyway,”
Kou Ning said while squatting on the steps outside the window of the Heart Talk Team’s villa, hating Han Yue’s Mental Element Attacks the most.
Leaning against the window, Su Jin said nonchalantly, “Sure, he’s bound to die sooner or later anyway.”
“No way, I’m afraid of his Mental Element Ability; it makes my head and legs ache, I can’t let him know I’m here or he’ll definitely torture me to death,”
Kou Ning’s ears drooped, making him look like a large sad dog reprimanded by its owner.
“Mental Element Abilities aren’t that scary…”
Su Jin thought of Mao Qiqi, who had gone out with her family. Qiqi’s attack capabilities should be superior to Han Yue’s.
“Su Jin, I beg you, let me hide here for a while, okay? I’ll move out immediately after Han Yue leaves,”
Kou Ning pleaded.
“You want to come in?”
Su Jin eyed Kou Ning skeptically. He, who didn’t even wish to come inside while talking to her, now had the audacity to want to hide inside?
“No, I’ll just live there,”
As he spoke, Kou Ning waved his hands and conjured a small metal house with a triangle roof, placed behind the garage beside the Heart Talk Team’s villa. Even if someone looked in from outside, they wouldn’t be able to see anything.
However, its appearance and location made Su Jin unable to hold back her laughter. Placed on the open ground in the courtyard, was that supposed to be a doghouse?
“Wouldn’t it be safer for you to stay inside the Security team quarters? They definitely wouldn’t have anyone going in there,” she said.
Su Jin spoke truthfully, she had never really considered letting someone stay in her own courtyard.
“Life is indeed precious, food even more so. How would I ask you for meals if I stayed there?”
Kou Ning asked seriously.
So it was for the food…
Su Jin understood. Indeed, now that Kou Ning had been spoiled by the fresh meat prepared by Lin Yunguo, the thawed frozen food from Heart Talk Branch could no longer satisfy his desire to eat them for three consecutive meals.
Although Mao Zhihang would occasionally bring him some food in the morning, by the afternoon he would basically call every day to ask if there was dinner to sell to him. When Su Jin answered yes, he would eagerly come over with his lunch box and Crystal Core, standing outside the window waiting for Su Jin inside to serve him the meal.
So did Han Yue make him too scared to even buy meals when inside the base?
“Alright, come over tomorrow morning and I’ll give you an answer then. I need to discuss this matter with everyone,”
Su Jin said helplessly, the vacant lot was actually closer to the ancillary house. If Yifan and the others found it inconvenient, she wouldn’t agree to let Kou Ning move in.
“Thank you! Here, this is for you,”
Kou Ning said, pleased, and placed a packet of Crystal Core on the windowsill.
Su Jin didn’t react at first. This Crystal Core was for what?
“It’s for tonight’s dinner!”
Kou Ning replied. He needed to hurry up and buy some food before Han Yue settled in and then scamper back to his den.
“It’s only three o’clock…”
Su Jin was somewhat speechless, she had thought Kou Ning was a king…
It wasn’t really that Kou Ning was overly timid, but he himself had not been injured for a long time. Even the zombies outside couldn’t harm him at all. Suddenly, there appeared someone who could inflict blunt trauma on his brain without warning, and even now he hadn’t figured out how to deal with it.
And Liao Yifan and the others had no objections to Kou Ning wanting to live in the courtyard. Xue Wanyi even suggested that he could totally stay in the ancillary house for a while, since their night and day schedules didn’t overlap.
“Then you really don’t know, with Su Jin alone at home during the day, even in the ancillary house, that guy wouldn’t dare to come in,”
Liao Yifan said as he ate his refreshing cold noodles.
“Su Jin, just let him move in then. Since he’s so afraid of Han Yue finding out he’s here, he probably won’t even dare to show his face every day,”
Guo Yang said. The last time they went to Base B, it was largely thanks to the inside information provided by Kou Ning.
Su Jin knew none of them would oppose the move, but because they all lived under the same roof, she wanted to discuss it with everyone first, including Lu Hao’s family in the Space.
“Let him stay for a while then. By the way, Han Yue hasn’t come looking for you, has he?”
Lu Hao asked, a bit worried. He hadn’t expected that right after they left, someone from the Han Family would come. Now they had to hurry back sooner rather than later.
“No, and they haven’t gone to either of the two stores either,”
Su Jin shook her head and said. Liang Jiuhui had arranged for them to be kept far distant, and it was said that someone was always keeping an eye on their movements, so likely they wouldn’t dare to cause trouble within the base.
