Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238: Chapter 238 Mission Accomplished

“You can’t be saying things like that, kiddo. I heard you hired two very skilled masters, and I’m just a bit shocked by their abilities,”

Jia Kaiji tried to steady himself, and seeing this, Jia Yue quickly stood by his side to support him.

“Uncle Jia, it’s windy on the city wall, and the walkway is uneven. You should be careful,”

Liang Jiuhui didn’t directly respond to Jia Kaiji’s remark.

“Hmph, this city wall of yours, it really should be properly paved,”

As they spoke, a crowd of onlookers had gathered around them. After Jia Kaiji finished his comment, he left the place, followed by Jia Yue, who inadvertently caught sight of a familiar figure in the crowd.

Is that him?

Why is he still here?

Xia Ying was brought by Xia Mufei to the very center of the city wall they were constructing to see the last of the survivors being relocated today.

When Jia Yue saw him, he was looking down, seemingly lost in thought.

The previous night, Xia Mufei had somehow gotten hold of a pack of corn. Because the two of them hadn’t spoken for days, Xia Mufei poured the corn onto a plate and placed it in the center of the dining table, as if to say he was free to help himself.

However, he just glanced at it and didn’t touch the corn.

It wasn’t that he was angry with Xia Mufei, he just felt that something he had always held on to was starting to waver. Killing Liang Wei had always been his goal, but…

He thought of the words Shao Zian had said to him: Who isn’t in hell these days…

According to Jia Kaiji’s plan, he was supposed to be at the refuge early that day, then, while the safety wall was broken and the refuge in chaos, he would take out Liang Wei.

However, just before leaving, while packing his things, he found a plump piece of corn lying inside his pillow…

He stood in front of the bed looking at the corn for a long time, and then he couldn’t help but laugh.

On a whim, he didn’t go anywhere that day.

Xia Mufei, as usual, woke up early. He was surprised to see Xia Ying sitting on the sofa, but then he lowered his eyes, thinking that if Xia Ying didn’t speak to him first, he wouldn’t speak either.

“Thank you for the corn, it was really good,”

came the cool voice of a man, which seemed to carry a hint of amusement.

Xia Ying felt like the sleepy eyes of Xia Mufei suddenly brightened up.

“No need to mention it, I just knew nobody would find Uncle Lin’s corn unsatisfying. Wasn’t it sweet?” Xia Mufei asked gleefully.

“It was okay,”

With those three words, Xia Mufei finally smiled in satisfaction. The feeling of making amends with a friend is really great…

“Xia Ying, Xia Ying, look, there are so many buses coming!” On the not-yet-finished city wall, Xia Mufei squeezed through to join his teammates in the excitement.

Moreover, each bus was packed with people, some even standing.

“That’s great, everyone is safe,”

Xia Mufei said, smiling joyfully.

“Yes, all thanks to Mayor Liang Wei. If he hadn’t set up the refuge, we might still have no home to go to,” said an older man standing nearby.

“I also heard that Base Leader Liang Jiuhui spent a lot of money to hire masters to escort survivors all the way. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it has,”

“Ah, if only I had that kind of skill. We’re all Special Ability Users, but why such a big gap?” someone in the crowd sighed.
