Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Ji Wanwan had a conversation with her parents, then immediately got busy.

She returned to her private space, placed the cryogenic pod in an empty room, and with the help of the System, she put Qi Hao into the pod and connected him to various tubes and lines that maintained his vital signs.

Looking at Qi Hao’s pale, serene face, Ji Wanwan’s eyes were obscure, "Brother Qi Hao, you won’t have any problems, I will definitely find a way to save you! Wait for me!"

Hiding the sadness in her eyes, Ji Wanwan stood up and headed to Suite 6.

The suite had already been cleaned by 001 and restored to its pre-residency condition.

Ji Wanwan let Hu Die out.

Finding herself suddenly back in reality, Hu Die felt dizzy, and her stomach clenched as if someone was grabbing it, inducing an unstoppable urge to vomit.

Indeed, she vomited.

As she clutched her mouth, barely able to hold it in, Ji Wanwan considerately passed her a trash bin to prevent her from soiling the room.

"Ugh!"

Hu Die vomited for quite some time, only stopping after even her bile came up.

Gasping for air, she finally slumped to the ground like a dehydrated fish, breathing heavily.

Seeing Hu Die, pale as wax, Ji Wanwan understood why the System said living people shouldn’t stay in the space for too long.

Meanwhile, Hu Die, finding herself suddenly in a strange environment with the girl who attacked her standing before her, wanted to summon her energy to defend herself but couldn’t muster any strength.

Struggling in vain, Hu Die gave up, "Where have you brought me?"

Ji Wanwan didn’t respond but took out a walkie-talkie from her space, "Wen Yuheng, come to the Inner City’s Suite 6, I need to talk to you."

Mentioning Wen Yuheng made Hu Die pale, "Is this the base?"

Ji Wanwan noncommittally sat down on a sofa nearby, "Isn’t it obvious?"

Thinking of Qi Hao and Xia Li, Ji Wanwan really couldn’t bring herself to greet people from the Baize Union with a smile. The fact that she hadn’t crushed Hu Die then and there was already her showing a lot of restraint.

Hu Die, feeling snubbed, turned her head away and stopped talking.

Wen Yuheng arrived quickly, pushing open the door, his voice preceding him, "Miss Ji, what do you need me for?"

Hearing the man’s tone filled with concern and urgency, Hu Die’s expression soured.

Upon entering and fully seeing everyone inside, Wen Yuheng hesitated slightly, "Miss Hu Die? Weren’t you..."

Before he could finish, Wen Yuheng abruptly stopped speaking.

Hu Die scoffed, "What? You thought I was dead, didn’t you? Wen Yuheng, were you hoping for my death?"

The bitterness and jealously in her tone caught Wen Yuheng off-guard.

Seeing Ji Wanwan’s face showing amusement, his entire face flushed and he glanced helplessly back and forth between the two women in the room.

After a moment of silence, Wen Yuheng timidly ventured, "Miss Hu Die, how could I wish for your death? I only..."

Zhou Kai, that bastard, actually lied to him!

"Only what?" Hu Die tilted her head coyly, though the expectation hiding beneath her defiance was already showing, making Wen Yuheng’s heart quiver.

He sighed, "Miss Hu Die, besides you, the other three elders of the Baize Union have already died. Since you are unharmed, why not stay? Everyone at the base is friendly, I believe everyone will accept you."

"What?!" Hu Die trembled, her face full of disbelief.

Thinking of the flare she had released before losing consciousness, Hu Die’s face instantly turned pale, "Hu Peng...is dead too?"

Hu Peng and Hu Die were siblings; abruptly hearing of her brother’s death, Hu Die felt an incessant buzzing in her ears.

Wen Yuheng, aware of their relationship, looked away with pity, silently answering her question.

Hu Die’s gaze turned sharp and hostile towards Ji Wanwan, "Did you do this?"

Ji Wanwan smirked cryptically, "Hu Peng? Are you talking about that arrogant, impulsive, brainless level 7 Gold Element superpower awakener?"

Because of that sentence, Hu Die shivered with anger, "You..."

Ji Wanwan’s eyes gleamed even more with mockery, "He wanted to kill me, but unfortunately, he was too stupid and I killed him instead. What, you want to avenge him?"

"Swish——"

A dense mass of Flying Blades appeared out of nowhere and all stabbed toward Ji Wanwan.

"Miss Hu Die!!!"

Wen Yuheng was terrified, a burst of fluorescent green energy suddenly erupted, blocking all the Flying Blades in mid-air, "Miss Hu Die! Calm down!"

Seeing Wen Yuheng protecting Ji Wanwan, Hu Die broke down and cried, "He was my brother, he was my brother! How can I calm down!!"

Wen Yuheng looked troubled, "Miss Hu Die, your brother and Miss Ji had different stands. You can’t expect Miss Ji to get hit without fighting back, can you?"

It’s just that Miss Ji’s tone of speaking today was indeed not too friendly, no wonder Hu Die was so angry.

Seeing Wen Yuheng in such a dilemma, even though she understood that what he said was true, Hu Die felt a heartbreaking pain thinking about her brother’s death.

Realizing she was helpless against Ji Wanwan, Hu Die whimpered and fell back to the ground, trembling with her shoulders and burying her head to cry.

Pity surged in Wen Yuheng’s eyes.

However, Ji Wanwan had been lazily leaning on the sofa from the beginning to the end, coldly watching Hu Die cry on the ground, without even changing her posture.

Does it hurt?

Good, it should hurt!

Who doesn’t feel pain?

Thinking of Qi Hao and Xia Li, Ji Wanwan equally hated everyone in the Baize Union.

The Baize Union acted nefariously, almost every one of them had hands stained with lives.

All these people deserved to die!

Feeling the malice in her heart suddenly intensify, Ji Wanwan took a deep breath to calm her emotions.

She stood up, glaring down at Hu Die on the ground: "Wen Yuheng, for your sake, I won’t touch Hu Die, but let me make it clear:

First, if this person wants to live in the base, she needs to earn points just like everyone else. Of course, if you want to support her, I don’t mind.

Second, you’d better ensure Hu Die doesn’t cause trouble in the base, otherwise I can’t guarantee that she will see the sun the next day."

Having said that, Ji Wanwan swung her garment and walked away with big strides.

Inside the room, Wen Yuheng looked at Hu Die on the ground, sobbing continuously with eyes full of hatred, and his head ached.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked over and squatted beside Hu Die.

Just as he raised his hand, preparing to gently pat Hu Die’s shoulder, she suddenly pushed him away: "Don’t touch me! I don’t need your pity! Even if the Baize Union disappears from this world, I won’t live in this base, struggling to survive!"

Knocked to the ground by the force of Hu Die’s push, Wen Yuheng was stunned as he watched her angrily storm out, stumbling as she got up.

As a woman in this state running outside, wasn’t that tantamount to seeking death?

Wen Yuheng immediately got up and chased after her.

No matter what, he had been the one who provoked Hu Die these days. Even if he had no feelings for her as it was just part of the mission, he couldn’t just use her and then abandon her—that would make him no different from a beast.

He couldn’t just watch as Hu Die deteriorated like this!

At that moment, the sky had already turned dimly bright, and Ji Xing and Zhou Kai, who were forcibly patrolling, just happened to come back.

Seeing the figures of Hu Die and Wen Yuheng running one after the other, the two were puzzled: "?"

Suddenly, Ji Xing’s eyes brightened.

If Hu Die was out, that meant sister was awake!

His face lit up with joy, and he immediately left Zhou Kai behind, running fast toward his sister’s private space...
