Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: 152 Chief Physician (First Update)

After treating the infected, Fang Yuxin followed Fang Yuyang back home. Bai Ye meticulously trailed behind them, claiming he wanted to visit Bai Qianqian. Considering that Bai Ye had helped them earlier and had made a Blood Oath, Fang Yuxin deemed him a relatively reliable partner and thus invited him to dine with them as a gesture of gratitude for his assistance, and to discuss future cooperation.

When they returned to the Fang Family residence, they unexpectedly encountered Zhou Yan. At the time, Zhou Yan was sitting in the living room and stood up upon seeing them, greeting them with a smile, "Captain Fang, Miss Fang, and Mr. Bai." He gave a nod and continued, "I came today specifically to thank Miss Fang. Miss Fang’s treatment of the infected has been a tremendous help to the Safe Zone!"

Fang Yuxin greeted him with a polite smile, invited Bai Ye to sit down, and then found seats for herself and Fang Yuyang. Shang Jinxiu and the others were not in the living room, presumably in the rest area; even Bai Qianqian was absent, which was rare. The living room only housed Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe, who were attending to their guests.

In front of Zhou Yan was a steaming cup of tea, the vapor swirling and the aroma of tea pervading the air. Before the apocalypse, this was a common offering to guests, but afterwards, it became quite a rarity.

Natural water resources had been contaminated, and now the Safe Zone’s drinking water either came from collected bottled and barrelled water or was provided by Water Ability users. With water being scarce and expensive, ordinary survivors dared not waste it; even routine cleaning was done with restraint. For most people, drinking tea had become an extravagant affair. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

The Fang Family did not lack water, but the fact that Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe had specially prepared such a cup of tea was not only to accommodate Zhou Yan, but also served to showcase their own power.

And Zhou Yan’s decision to wait there was probably not solely out of gratitude; he likely had other motives.
