Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Chapter One Hundred Fifty-Nine Foreign Friends

The ones who entered were several white-skinned Europeans, both men and women, accompanied by a Hua Country woman who seemed to be their translator.

Yin Chengtian clicked his tongue in disbelief. They even brought along a translator? Were they trying to show off that much?

Once the foreigners entered, they directly found seats and sat down without any semblance of politeness.

The female translator, after greeting Liang Wei and the others, took her place beside them.

“Mayor Liang, here’s the situation,” she started directly, “This gentleman is Mr. Hubbard. They’ve heard about our Refuge planning to establish a safe base and would like to make some demands regarding this matter.”

It seemed that the female translator had already discussed it with the foreigners outside and was getting straight to the point.

“Demands? Heh, I really want to hear this,” Liang Wei signaled for her to continue.

“Mr. Hubbard and the other gentlemen and ladies here are from the M United States. Due to the current communication and transportation disruption, they are temporarily stranded in Hua Country. If the S City safe base is built, they would like to have some corresponding guarantees.”

Seeing that Liang Wei and the others remained silent, the female translator spoke a few words with the blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigner and then continued, “Mr. Hubbard and his companions would like a set of independent housing, regular supplies, and protection from Special Ability Users.”

Xue Wanyi couldn’t help but want to curse after hearing this. What kind of foreign friends are these? How shameless!

Liang Wei also laughed indignantly and said, “Your demands are quite lofty, but let me be frank, that’s not possible.”

The translator was stunned for a moment but nonetheless returned to translating Liang Wei’s words for the foreigners without changing her expression.

After receiving the translation, the group of foreigners started talking among themselves, and it was obvious they were infuriated.

“What are they saying? I don’t understand,” Yin Chengtian whispered.

“What else could they say? They’re accusing us of being inhumane, saying we can’t treat M country’s people like this,” Guo Yang said with a sneer.

In fact, Liang Jiuhui understood what they were saying, but he just watched them with a smile, without expressing any opinion.

“You can’t treat us this way! We strongly demand that you first provide us with good housing!” one of the young women beside Hubbard angrily demanded in broken Hua language.

“I’ll be straightforward,” Liang Wei said. “In my place, whether you’re a foreigner or from Hua Country, we treat everyone equally. If you want to rent housing, please go register first and prepare the corresponding Crystal Cores. As for regular supplies and protection from Special Ability Users, sorry, we cannot offer that to you.”

Liang Wei’s rejection was direct. Xue Wanyi couldn’t help but cheer for him, and even Yin Chengtian felt like applauding Liang Wei.

After hearing this, the female translator nodded slightly and translated Liang Wei’s words to the foreigners verbatim. Guo Yang could tell that she didn’t exaggerate or embellish, simply translating the words exactly as said.

As expected, after hearing the translation, the foreigners continued to swear and seemed to still want to fight for something, but Liang Wei directly instructed Peng Qi to show them out.

Though the translator was a bit embarrassed, she still nodded to Liang Wei and the others before walking out.

“They are finally gone; sorry you all had to witness that. We’ve had a lot of these situations recently, we are used to it,” Liang Wei said, returning to his cheerful demeanor as if he had already forgotten the unpleasantness that had just occurred.

“Let the foreigners handle their own affairs,” Lu Hao stated.

Liang Jiuhui nodded in agreement; Lu Hao’s views were always surprisingly in sync with his.

“Lu Hao, would you be interested in co-managing the future base with us?” Liang Jiuhui ventured to ask.

“No,” Lu Hao declined flatly.

“…”

That direct, Captain Lu?

Yin Chengtian and the others wiped sweat from their brows, recalling that when Lu Hao had been appointed captain by the bureau chief, he had also outright refused at first until the old bureau chief had persuaded him for a long time to accept.

Liang Wei, however, started laughing. He could see that Lu Hao was genuinely uninterested, without a trace of hesitation.
