Chapter 175 -175: Jia Sheng
The next morning, after a full rest, everyone started getting the store ready, but they were interrupted by a sudden burst of noise that caught everyone’s attention.
Mao Qiqi clattered down from upstairs and shouted, “Zombies have appeared in the villa district!”
What?!
How could zombies appear in the villa district?
“I’ll go check it out.”
Lu Hao said and got ready to leave.
“I’m going too,” the crowd said in unison.
So, the curious group marched out the door to the place Mao Qiqi had mentioned.
After arriving at the villa district, Xia Mufei and Xia Ying were allocated by the staff to a small building that already housed a few people, but those who had moved in earlier didn’t seem very friendly.
“What’s the deal, Jia Sheng? Didn’t your uncle say he’d get us a detached house? Why are there other people here?”
The girl with shoulder-length hair said this in front of Xia Mufei and Xia Ying.
She, Jia Sheng, and a few others were among the first to be transferred here. Of course, it wasn’t to help with the base construction but because Jia Sheng heard from his uncle, who was in charge of managing the Refuge area, that this place was going to be turned into a major base. So he pleaded to move in, knowing living in a villa would be much more comfortable than staying in a Refuge.
Before the Apocalypse, Jia Kaiji always doted on his nephew, giving whatever good things he had first to his brother’s family. Now that his brother and sister-in-law were gone, he was even more inclined to meet any request Jia Sheng made.
They had also moved here under the guise of participating in the base construction, after all. Anyway, his uncle had said once they arrived, he would find a way to remove their names from the list.
As for accommodation, Jia Kaiji had also promised to allocate a detached villa to his team, but due to the limited size of the villas, Jia Sheng only brought a few Special Ability Users and some physically capable people from his team this time.
He hadn’t expected others to move in so soon, and Jia Sheng felt like he had lost all face in front of his team members.
“Hey, you two, who let you move in?” freeweɓnovel.cøm
Jia Sheng was sitting on a lounge chair, one foot still placed on it, obviously just having gotten up from it.
“We… were just assigned by the villa’s staff to move in,” Xia Mufei answered honestly.
“Are you sure it’s B17?”
The shoulder-length haired girl suspiciously grabbed the door plate key from Xia Mufei’s hand, and seeing that it indeed had B17 written on it, the code of the villa they were in, she became puzzled.
“Jiang Wen, I really don’t know what’s going on. Maybe those idiots made a mistake,”
Jia Sheng defended, their comfortable new home had only been theirs for two days before strangers were assigned to move in; it had been an unfortunate turn of lately.
“You two, go live in the basement. There are sofas there for you to sleep on,” Jia Sheng said with an air of arrogance.
“We’ve been assigned rooms 2 and 3 on the third floor,”
A cool male voice replied. As Xia Ying was somewhat angry, his voice was even colder, causing even the shoulder-length haired girl, Jiang Wen, to look over involuntarily.
She shouldn’t have glanced over. She hadn’t noticed this man before. That face… was just too handsome, wasn’t it?
Jia Sheng, too, noticed Xia Ying because of what he just said. It was because the man behind had such a low presence that one couldn’t help but overlook him.
“Are you Special Ability Users?”
Jia Sheng walked over cautiously and asked if these two were Special Ability Users, then he really shouldn’t mess with them lightly.
“I’m not,” Xia Ying replied.
