Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 -One Hundred and Seventy-Eight: Jealousy

Su Jin sighed. She didn’t know how to judge the situation. Indeed, if they had dealt with those bags of rice on the spot, these people wouldn’t have died. But was it really their fault?

Besides, if those people hadn’t been extremely greedy and looking for a cheap deal, this wouldn’t have happened.

Having realized this, Su Jin stopped fretting over it.

However, just because she wasn’t fretting didn’t mean Jia Kaiji wasn’t. He was convinced that his nephew died because of these people and looked at Su Jin and the others with eyes full of anger and hatred.

Everyone present felt it was inexplicable. Was Jia Kaiji stupid?

He didn’t feel any shame when he heard that his nephew tried to rob others, nor did he see anything wrong with Jia Sheng driving other genuine tenants to live on the rooftop. Yet now, he glared furiously at the people who had resolved the issue?

Liang Jiuhui sneered and said, “Go back and check why the rooms of these two people were taken over, and who exactly were the people that turned into zombies!”

“Yes!” Guan Hong answered promptly from behind.

After hearing this, Jia Kaiji glared at the people present once more and left bitterly.

“Is there something wrong with his brain?” Lin Xiuyuan muttered.

“Huh, I don’t know if he’s sick, but he’s certainly not a good person,” Guo Yang said.

Seeing how easily the group resolved the matter, Xia Mufei thanked Su Jin profusely.

“Are you going to live here from now on?” Su Jin asked gently.

Xia Mufei paused, surprised. Was this sister talking to him?

“Yeah, I’m an Earth Element and here to contribute to the base construction. My roommate and I… Eh? Where is he?” Xia Mufei turned to look for Xia Ying behind him but found he had disappeared.

“I just saw him going up,” Mao Qiqi said, and indeed there was someone upstairs.

“Ah haha, please don’t mind him. He is like that, a bit of a recluse,” said Xia Mufei, feeling embarrassed for Xia Ying’s behavior.

Liang Jiuhui also approached and told Xia Mufei, “I’m the temporary person in charge here. You two can settle in comfortably. Someone will come to clean up this area soon.”

Liang Jiuhui always had a friendly attitude toward those willing to help with the base construction, and this young man did not inspire any dislike either.

“Okay, I got it, thank you,”

Xia Mufei knew about Liang Jiuhui from his time at the refuge and his stature. Hence he deliberately used the respectful “you” to show his respect.

Behind, Guan Hong couldn’t help but snicker at this. Liang Jiuhui also found it amusing, but thinking about the urgent matters he had to deal with next, he instructed Guan Hong and Xu Shi and then left.

After Su Jin and the others collected the Mutated Crystal Nucleus, they prepared to leave as they still had tasks to accomplish that day.

Before leaving, Su Jin took one last deep look at Xia Mufei.

It’s good, he’s still alive now.

It’s good, maybe in this life, she would be able to make amends.

If Su Jin had many regrets in her previous life, then Xia Mufei’s death was also a significant one since he died protecting her.

Su Jin would never forget the image in her mind of the Earth Element Xia Mufei being dragged out of the earth by a bunch of zombies and then being eaten bite by bite in front of her, Xia Mufei’s screams haunting her for a long time.

Although Xia Mufei’s death in his past life wasn’t entirely her fault, he did end up at the back of the group trying to save her.

But this time, why hasn’t she seen Xia Mufei’s girlfriend? Could it be that she hasn’t appeared yet?

Su Jin left with these questions in her mind and returned to the villa with everyone.

Inside the main house, the living room table was filled with baskets of cooled thin pancakes. The vacuum packer had just been opened, and at the other end of the table, there were papers and pens arranged by Su Jin, ready for Mao Qiqi to draw the things they wanted.
