Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Daring to Storm the Parking Lot

Watching Ji Wanwan lead Ji Xing away, the crowd shook their heads one after another.

Living under the same roof with such a ruthless person really didn’t give them any sense of security; it seemed they needed to find a safer place as soon as possible.

So many days into the crisis, and still no word from the officials. It would be great if they could take shelter in an official refuge—fed, housed, and without a care in the world, unlike this place, which was too dangerous!

…

But Ji Wanwan didn’t care what others thought.

She pulled her chattering brother along to the operating room to change their gear and prepare to set out.

A few curious people followed behind them, wanting to see what they were up to, including Zhang Tao and Zhu Qian.

Watching Ji Wanwan clatter a variety of equipment out of the Space System, Zhang Tao’s eyes burned with desire.

Iron boots, Combat Gloves, Bullet-Proof Armor, Military Shovel, saber, safety rope, axe…

My god!

Even without firearms, just these things were enough for an ordinary person to dominate their surroundings, right?

This woman looked so petite, frail, and ordinary—how could she have so many supplies?

In Zhang Tao’s eyes, looking at Ji Wanwan, there was finally a hint of wariness.

If previously he hadn’t taken Ji Wanwan completely seriously, now he truly felt wary.

Looking at those weapons, Zhang Tao had some thoughts.

If he could get his hands on those weapons and the supplies from the hotel, wouldn’t he be able to live large and do whatever he wanted!

By then, why would he need to live at the mercy of others, watching their faces!

Thinking of this woman going out to kill zombies with her brother shortly, Zhang Tao’s heart began to stir…

Inside the operating room, Ji Wanwan’s gaze swept over these items on the ground.

Yesterday, when she and Xu Siming were searching for a car in the parking lot, they discovered Cheng Ya might have evolved. She planned to take her brother there today to check it out.

The zombies in the parking lot weren’t many, and it was close to the refuge. She had a superpower and taking an axe would be more than enough.

Ji Xing, seeing her make a choice, picked up a machete, “I’ve made my choice.”

Ji Wanwan was slightly taken aback, “You don’t even know where we are going, and you’ve already chosen?”

Ji Xing smirked, “Aren’t we training our combat skills? Carrying so many weapons isn’t much use.”

He weighed the machete in his hand, “This feels right, I’ll take this.”

After saying that, he gave a rascal smile, “Besides, with you, sister, the Dual superpower big shot, by my side, what’s there to fear, huh～”

Ji Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh and cry, actually finding her brother’s words quite reasonable.

Just then, Xu Siming and Xia Li arrived.

Xia Li walked in front, with Xu Siming, hands in his pockets, trailing behind. His tall stature made Xia Li look especially delicate and petite.

Seeing Ji Wanwan and her brother, Xia Li’s eyes lit up, “What a coincidence, I was just coming to you for weapons.”

Ji Wanwan laughed, pointing to the pile on the ground, “Pick whatever you like.”

Xu Siming strode into the operating room, “Junior, where are you planning to go?”

Ji Wanwan smiled lightly, “Just to the resort’s parking lot. What about you?”

Xu Siming’s deep blue eyes roved, settling on the crossbow, “We’re heading to Wanjiale, to take out those two Evolved Zombies we encountered yesterday.”

Ji Wanwan was surprised, “That Monkey Corpse isn’t simple, can the two of you handle it?”

Xu Siming raised his eyebrows with a grin, “Don’t you trust me?”

Ji Wanwan: “…”

Damn, got played by this guy again!

Feeling Ji Wanwan’s envious yet disdainful gaze, Xu Siming felt quite pleased, his lips curving into a smile, “Wait for my good news.”

Ji Wanwan pursed her lips, “Take good care of my Ah Li.”

Xu Siming picked up a crossbow and tossed it to Xia Li, “Don’t worry, however she goes out, that’s how she’ll return, unless I’m dead, she won’t run into any trouble.”

Since the apocalypse began, Ji Wanwan had seen countless departures and losses, yet she still disliked the mention of death, especially when that word involved someone she cared about.

She patted Xu Siming on the shoulder, “Don’t talk nonsense, both of you need to stay well for me.”

Feeling Ji Wanwan’s concern, Xu Siming’s mood seemed to improve.

After choosing their weapons, Ji Wanwan collected the remaining equipment and was ready to set off; the onlookers at the door left hurriedly like scattering birds and beasts.

Watching their retreating figures, Ji Wanwan’s expression was inscrutable.

Today, the refuge had changed its circulating currency and established rules for lodging. Just now, they had witnessed so much equipment—whether these people were friends or foes would likely reveal itself in the coming days…

It really was…

quite something to look forward to…

…

The four of them left the refuge in two pairs, one after the other.

After Ji Wanwan and Ji Xing left the gate, they slowly made their way to the parking lot along the main road.

“Xingxing, Cheng Ya is in the parking lot.”

The empty streets were devoid of people, eerily quiet, and Ji Wanwan’s words echoed, sounding both dull and abrupt.

No sooner had she spoken than Ji Xing’s aura changed dramatically, shifting from its initial indolence to a gloomy depth in the blink of an eye.

Although Ji Wanwan didn’t want to bring it up, she had no choice.

They might be facing an evolved Cheng Ya. Any moment of hesitation or distraction could lead to a fatal blow.

After a moment of silence, Ji Xing forced a smile, “If she’s there, so be it; it’s no big deal.”

Ji Wanwan could feel her brother’s dejection.

Looking up at her brother, now taller than herself, a touch of heartache appeared in her eyes, “When it comes to Cheng Ya, leave her to me…”

Ji Xing pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

“Tap…”

Turning around the last street corner, the parking lot was in sight, Ji Wanwan stopped and looked at her brother with concern once more.

The latter shelved his playful demeanor, took a deep breath as if to bolster himself.

“Sis, I’m ready.”

Ji Wanwan’s lips curved in relief, “Okay!”

The siblings walked shoulder to shoulder into the parking lot.

“Roar!”

Not long after entering the parking lot, their footsteps attracted a nearby zombie.

“Fuck off!”

Being a young man, Ji Xing reacted quickly.

He picked up a machete and swung it forcefully toward the zombie’s face.

The powerful blow from the machete, delivered with full strength, cleaved off half of the zombie’s head. Now lying on the ground, it twitched while instinctively continuing to crawl towards the siblings.

Ji Xing had always been a good kid, never killing anyone, hardly even fighting.

Now, looking at the zombie he had just beheaded on the ground, his face turned pale, and he began to shiver, feeling the realization sinking in.

Although what lay on the ground could no longer be called human, deep down, Ji Xing still felt as if he had just committed murder.

Noticing her brother’s fear, Ji Wanwan stepped forward and patted his shoulder, “Snap out of it, this isn’t a person, it’s a zombie that will take your life!”

Having said that, she raised the axe in her hand and chopped down at the zombie’s head.

This one was clearly an ordinary zombie. After the deed, she withdrew her gaze, sparing it no further glance.

Just then,

a white figure darted out from the shadows with incredible speed, charging towards them.

Ji Wanwan focused her eyes—it was

Cheng Ya!!!
