Chapter 165: Joining the New House

Along the way, everyone ate, and it was obvious that their speed was even faster than before.

Firstly, they had already calmed down from the shock they had just received. Secondly, they were all holding an open pack of bread in their arms. They were now working with extra energy.

When Ye Xingchen and the rest arrived at the safety fortress, the sky was already a little dark.

The road up the mountain was covered in snow. Ye Xingchen drove with a snowmobile and then asked Zhao Hao and the others to build a simple rope ladder.

Ye Xingchen held the snowboard in his hand and then reached out to pull the rope ladder. He actually didn’t really want to climb the rope ladder. After all, the rope ladder was strong, but who could guarantee that the rope ladder wouldn’t suddenly break halfway up?

Ye Xingchen would not risk his life for this.

“You guys go up first. I’ll go get some things. Oh right, it’s not convenient for you to hold your skis and poles in your hands. You can hand them over to me now.”

Everyone was very obedient. After all, these things were originally given to them by Ye Xingchen. Of course, they listened to Ye Xingchen unconditionally.

Ye Xingchen pulled Mo Qi to stand aside. When the last person in the team had climbed up the rope ladder, Ye Xingchen took Mo Qi to the other side of the mountain. Then, he put away the used skis and poles into the space, and then took out the snowmobile from the space.

Of course, if he had better tools, why would he use that stupid method? Moreover, it was not safe.

Ye Xingchen stepped on the accelerator, and Mo Qi put her hands around Ye Xingchen’s waist.

“Sit tight.”

Ye Xingchen was so fast that he reached the top of the mountain before the first person climbing the rope ladder did.

Zhao Hao’s friends were watching over the rope ladder to prevent strangers from climbing up. Meanwhile, Zhao Hao and his group began to clear away the small mountain of corpses that had piled up inside the safety fortress.

“Sister, sister, are you Brother Xingchen’s wife?”

“Sister, sister, you’re so beautiful. Can you be my wife in the future?”

Lin Sijia and the others were discovered by Qin Tianming as soon as they arrived. Before they came, Ye Xingchen had mentioned Qin Tianming to Lin Sijia and Zhao Hao. Initially, Qin Tianming was still hiding and wanted to see who these unfamiliar intruders were. However, then he heard Lin Sijia shout for Qin Tianming.

After hearing Lin Sijia say that they were Ye Xingchen’s people and were there to look for Qin Tianming, Qin Tianming revealed himself and walked in front of Lin Sijia and the others.

Then, it became like this.

Lin Pei and Zhao Hao were guarding Lin Sijia the whole time. Zhao Hao ordered his underlings to clean up the trash inside.

Zhao Hao had followed Ye Xingchen here before, so he naturally knew how many corpses were inside.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t want to worry about the weird Lin Pei and the unknown Qin Tianming, Zhao Hao would have joined them to clean up the trash together.

After all, Zhao Hao knew Ye Xingchen’s intention. Ye Xingchen wanted to live in this safety fortress, and they should be the lucky ones chosen by Ye Xingchen to live together.

With this honor, Zhao Hao was very anxious and wanted to do something for Ye Xingchen.

Lunch was casual. The backpack that Ye Xingchen gave Zhao Hao had a lot of packaged food. There were biscuits, bread, cakes, chocolates, and sweets. They were all things that Ye Xingchen had plundered from the supermarket. They were not worth much anyway, and Ye Xingchen did not like them, so he packed some for Zhao Hao and the others.

Lin Sijia didn’t make any special arrangements. She had the same food as Zhao Hao and the others for lunch, but she didn’t eat much. She only ate two small bags of biscuits. After all, these things weren’t as good as the ones she usually ate. Although Lin Sijia wasn’t picky, she didn’t have a good appetite before seeing Ye Xingchen.

Even though Qin Tianming took out the frozen hamburger that he had hidden and presented it to Lin Sijia like a treasure, Lin Sijia didn’t take it.

Lin Sijia only regained her spirits when Ye Xingchen brought Mo Qi back.

“You’re here. Did you encounter any accidents along the way?”

Lin Sijia roughly knew what Ye Xingchen was thinking, but Ye Xingchen didn’t tell her about his plan. After all, Ye Xingchen didn’t think that his methods were clean. Even if Lin Sijia could understand him, Ye Xingchen didn’t want Lin Sijia to know too much.

Ye Xingchen was in a good mood now, but he had to pretend to be in great pain.

He raised his head, his eyes unknowingly filled with tears.

“I’m sorry, Brother Zhao. I didn’t protect Sister Anran well. Sister Anran, she… she…”

Zhao Hao was originally very happy to see Ye Xingchen and Mo Qi return, but before he could be happy for long, Ye Xingchen’s words made Zhao Hao’s face turn pale.

“What, what’s going on, Little Ye? What happened? Your Sister Anran, what happened to her?”

Ye Xingchen opened his mouth but did not say a word. He let out a long sigh and shook his head.

“Aunt Anran was eaten by a mutant,” said Mo Qi, who was standing beside Ye Xingchen.

“What?” Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard that. “Did you see a mutant?”

Zhao Hao and the others had been very safe on their way here. They had not even seen many ordinary people, let alone mutants. This led Zhao Hao to think that the outside world was very peaceful.

“Yes, not only did Aunt Anran die, but Aunt Anran also killed two uncles.”

As soon as Mo Qi finished speaking, Ye Xingchen gently pushed her. “Mo Qi, don’t talk nonsense. What do you mean by ‘killed’? Sister Anran didn’t do it on purpose.”

After Mo Qi said that, Zhao Hao realized something.

“Little Ye, let Mo Qi continue. Little Qi, don’t be afraid. Come, tell Uncle Zhao what you mean by ‘killed.'”

For some reason, a guess suddenly appeared in Zhao Hao’s mind. The heartache and sadness in Zhao Hao’s heart faded a lot. He even looked at Ye Xingchen with a little guilt in his eyes.

“Brother Xingchen and I moved fast, while Auntie Anran moved slowly. A few uncles accompanied Auntie Anran, and then suddenly, many, many mutants appeared.”

“They were all heading in Auntie Anran’s direction. When Brother Xingchen and 1 rushed over, Auntie Anran had already been eaten.”

“Oh right, I also saw that when those mutants pounced on Auntie Anran, Auntie Anran grabbed two uncles and pushed them towards the mutants..”
