Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Punishing Jia Yue

As for the original Xu Shi and Guan Hong, Liang Jiuhui had arranged more important positions for them as well. Now they were the instructors of the Fire Element and Metal Element training squads respectively, charged with the training of Metal Element and Fire Element Ability Users who had passed the base recruitment assessments.

In the base training ground, Deng Shuwei and a group of Metal Element Ability Users had already run around the training field for the 9th lap. She felt as if her legs were filled with lead, each step requiring tremendous effort.

The other Special Ability Users were not faring much better, but no one dared to complain, because their instructor, Guan Hong, was running along with them, not falling behind for a single lap…

If such a formidable instructor was pushing himself so hard, what right did they have to complain?

Deng Shuwei bit her teeth and tried her best to ignore the overwhelming fatigue, thinking of something else to distract herself.

A few days ago, after she and the people from the shantytown, including Hao Dachuan, had filled out the conscription forms, they went to the registration place to take the assessment. Surprisingly, the staff at the registration told them that they had been accepted without the assessment after glanced at their forms. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

...

This astonished them. Why would such good fortune befall them? And they didn’t even have to take the assessment?

Eventually, Deng Shuwei noticed that their conscription forms were different from those of the others taking the assessments, and the staff recognized this with just a glance.

Liang Jiuhui had even clarified the reason for their exceptional recruitment during the enlistment ceremony for all to hear.

Those who had been looking at them through prejudiced lenses had nothing to say after that.

It was simply because Liang Jiuhui said that they were already qualified warriors.

With that thought, Deng Shuwei smiled and no longer felt the exhaustion of running; she was a warrior now and couldn’t afford to be winded by just running!

The person beside her watched in astonishment as the petite young woman seemed to be on an adrenaline rush, overtaking them one by one. Could this actually be her tactic?

Meanwhile, Fang Jingfu’s life in the villa wasn’t as pleasant as she had imagined, especially dealing with Jia Kaiji’s daughter. Although she lived under the same roof as Jia Yue, Jia Yue always treated her as if she were invisible, passing by without any expression even if they crossed paths.

“Yuer, your father said there are some eggs and milk left in the house; he wants you to bring them to me so I can nourish my body,” Fang Jingfu said condescendingly to Jia Yue, who was sitting on the sofa.

Jia Kaiji had to go out to work during the day, so it was just Fang Jingfu and Jia Yue at home. Earlier Jia Kaiji had mentioned that she, Fang Jingfu, was too thin and needed to be well-nourished. Since Jia Yue was in charge of the household supplies, he said Fang Jingfu could simply ask Jia Yue for them.

After asking several times, Fang Jingfu saw that Jia Yue remained engrossed in a piano game on her phone, not even looking up once. This ignited Fang Jingfu’s anger.

“Jia Yue, I suggest you stop being hostile towards me. Your father said that sooner or later you’ll be married off. I will be the lady of the house!” Fang Jingfu was so angry that she blurted out the pillow talk Jia Kaiji had shared with her. She didn’t care what Jia Yue thought; she wanted to express Jia Kaiji’s true intentions and see how long the young girl could remain smug!

As expected, Jia Yue’s fingers stalled for a moment. The keyboard, sounding notes previously, now showed many MISSes. As the game-ending tone sounded, she couldn’t help but give a self-deprecating smile and said, “Eggs and milk? I’ve already eaten them all. I suggest you ask father for more, ‘lady of the house’.”

“You! You did that on purpose, didn’t you? I’m telling you, Fang Jingfu is not so easily bullied. You just wait!” Fang Jingfu spat out venomously and stormed forward.

But halfway through, she turned back, hurried over to Jia Yue, grabbed the mobile phone from the coffee table, and slammed it to the ground!

Jia Yue, faced with Fang Jingfu’s defiant smirk, felt her upbringing, which always discouraged violence, waver. Nevertheless, she formed a Wind Ball in her hand and hurled it fiercely at Fang Jingfu!

She loved to play the piano, and the piano game on that phone had been her only source of entertainment since the Apocalypse began. Whenever she wanted to play, she’d use the game to relieve stress. And now Fang Jingfu had…

“Ahhh, it hurts so much!!!”

Although she was hit by Jia Yue’s Wind Ball, Fang Jingfu’s position meant she only fell backward onto the sofa cushion. She slid off the sofa with exaggerated cries of pain.

Jia Yue was stunned. She had merely knocked the woman onto the sofa; could that really cause her so much pain?
