Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Oh, isn't that the Second Uncle's family?

How did they find this place?

Damn it, why didn't they die on the first day of the zombie outbreak?

Just as Ji Wanwan was about to ignore them and turn around, she saw Mrs. Ji eagerly coming down from upstairs.

Ji Wanwan: "..."

Well, it looks like mom told them.

Although she had told her mom that in her previous life, their family was killed by the Second Uncle's family, familial ties are thick, and Ji Wanwan knew that it was really hard for her mom to cut ties.

She looked at her mom, "Mom, I can let the Second Uncle's family in, but let's get the ugly part over with, if Second Uncle's family causes trouble, I won't show any mercy."

Sadness filled Mrs. Ji's eyes.

How could she not know that her younger brother had been spoiled by their parents, and unfortunately, his wife and her mother were no easy characters either.

The whole family were selfish bastards.

But no matter what, he was still her brother...

With a sigh, Mrs. Ji said, "Okay."

In the apocalypse, for Wanwan to give them one more chance was already being extremely generous; even as her mother, she couldn't risk the lives of the whole family to satisfy her brother's family's greed.

Having said that, Ji Wanwan let the Second Uncle's family in.

As soon as they came in, the fat old lady began commanding and scolding Ji Wanwan, "What's wrong with you? You saw us and didn't open the door! What if we were bitten by zombies, could you afford the responsibility?"

Ji Wanwan gave the fat old lady a cold look, "Do I know you? Whether or not you get bitten, what does it have to do with me? Why should I open the door for you? Why should I be responsible for you?"

A series of rhetorical questions left the fat old lady speechless.

Second Aunt, savvy as always, said, "Wanwan, don't be angry. My mom was just too anxious."

Ji Wanwan gave her a cold look and ignored her, heading straight for the cafeteria.

Seeing her leave, Second Aunt turned to Mrs. Ji and immediately changed her tone, "Big sister, how did you raise your daughter? She doesn't know how to respect elders at all."

Mrs. Ji, who had loved her brother for most of her life, just felt worn out, "Wanwan also has a hard time every day, a bit of a temper can be understood."

Seeing the usually meek Mrs. Ji talk back, Second Aunt was taken aback.

Regaining her composure, she waved, "We're starving, big sister, please get us something to eat."

Mrs. Ji shook her head, "You'll need to buy your own food, I can't provide it anymore."

Second Aunt was dumbfounded, "How could that be? Your family owns the refuge, how can you not provide food?"

Mrs. Ji corrected, "It's not my refuge, it's Wanwan's."

Second Aunt: "..."

What's the difference between Wanwan's and your family's?

Mrs. Ji read Second Aunt's thoughts, "Wanwan is the only one who has the authority to give you food. If you don't want to find her, you can spend money at the cafeteria or the fast-food machines."

Mention of spending money immediately riled up the fat old lady.

If it hadn't been for buying that damn house from the Ji Family, their family wouldn't have emptied their savings!

Ironically, the world fell into chaos the very next day after the purchase!

Their family was left without money or supplies, struggling miserably for days.

The fat old lady snorted, "All the money went to your family, you pay for it."

Mrs. Ji looked at her younger brother.

Seeing no response from him, her heart chilled a bit, "The money was for buying the house. The house was sold to you, and I spent the money. I don't have any left either."

At the mention of that house, the fat old lady's vision darkened again.

The day they went to take possession of the house, they found nothing but an empty lot there, not even a single brick left!

The fat old lady, fuming, thumped her chest, the frustration stuck in her chest making it hard to breathe.

Mrs. Ji didn't bother with them any longer and turned back to her room.

Seeing Mrs. Ji leave, the family, starved for days, no longer fussing, obediently paid for their food.

Having eaten their fill, the exhausted group huddled in the lobby, dozing off.

Second Aunt couldn't sleep; her eyes were roving around the refuge intently.

This refuge had food and drink, and a variety of it, too. If she could get her hands on this refuge...

Just the thought made Second Aunt feel delighted.

She nudged Second Uncle beside her, lowering her voice, "Stop sleeping, wake up already."

Groggy and irritated, Second Uncle responded, "What for?"

Second Aunt pointed at the cafeteria and the vending machine, "Do you want these or not?"

Second Uncle looked at Second Aunt weirdly, "What do you think?"

Women with their long hair and short insights, was it even necessary to ask?

Second Aunt's eyes flashed menacingly as she made a throat-slitting gesture to Second Uncle, "How about we kill Ji Wanwan and take all this for ourselves?"

Second Uncle hadn't expected his wife to have such courage.

"Ah!" Second Uncle exclaimed in fright, "Are you crazy? Murder is illegal!"

Second Aunt quickly covered his mouth, "With all this chaos outside, if you kill her, who would know it was you? Just say a monster bit her to death!"

Second Uncle thought about it seriously, "That's true."

But upon further thought, she was, after all, his own niece, and he felt conflicted.

Second Aunt glared at him, "You spineless thing, you can't even fend for yourself, yet you're thinking about others!"

Second Uncle's face turned red from the scolding, "What do you want to do then?"

Second Aunt motioned with her finger for him to come closer, "Come here and listen..."

...

At night.

Ji Wanwan faintly heard some rustling noises at the doorway.

Listening carefully, she realized someone was picking the lock.

The refuge had been opened for so many days, and this had never happened before.

It was the first day for Second Uncle's family, and just thinking about it, she knew who was outside.

Lock-picking at two in the morning.

Great! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She hadn't expected that this life, Second Uncle's family would be so eager to act!

Ji Wanwan sneered.

She walked forward and opened the door.

Outside, Second Uncle, who was furtively picking the lock, froze on the spot, bent over.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing at my door so late at night?"

Second Uncle silently slid the dagger behind his back, straightened up, and forced a laugh, "Just passing by, saw something on your door, so I came to check."

"Oh?" Ji Wanwan's smile did not reach her eyes, "Weren't you downstairs? How did you end up upstairs?"

Sweat began to bead on Second Uncle's forehead, "Curious, just came up to see."

Ji Wanwan raised an eyebrow, "Curious in the middle of the night?"

Sweat increasingly covered Second Uncle's face.

Ji Wanwan glanced at the hand he was hiding behind his back, "What are you hiding in your hand, Second Uncle?"

Second Uncle stiffened, his grip on the dagger tightening slightly.

Second Aunt, crouching at the stairway entrance and unable to see the situation inside Ji Wanwan's room, saw that Second Uncle wasn't moving and was almost frantic.

"What are you doing? Hurry up!"

Second Aunt urged quietly.

Naturally, Ji Wanwan could also hear this.

She tilted her head, and the next second, Second Uncle steeled his heart. A vicious light flashed in his eyes, and he swiftly raised the dagger.

He had been exposed, there was no chance unless he acted now!

"Ji Wanwan! Die!"
