Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies

Chapter 199: Chapter 199 The time to redeem our honor has arrived!

Xiangcheng has many coal mines, so mutated rats were probably abundant.

These rats, before the apocalypse, were one of the Four Pests everyone wanted to exterminate.

Nowadays, they might be a coveted source of high-protein meat.

However, no one mentioned the mutated giant rats in Xiangcheng during the day when Old Xue and Sun Jingtao went to gather information.

It was as if such a thing did not exist at all.

Jiang Yan was somewhat puzzled.

Could this also be an exclusive food source for the base’s upper echelons?

Or perhaps, it’s some bizarre experimental product exclusive to a local research lab.

After all, based on the conversation of those people earlier, it seemed they were ordered by someone called “Dr. Xue” to do the hunting.

“Dr. Xue…” Jiang Yan recalled these three words and unconsciously sighed deeply.

It was another Xue.

Wasn’t this world too full of coincidences?

As she and Hua Bao mentally conversed in the backyard, the activities in the front yard hadn’t ceased.

“Bang bang bang!”

“Open up!”

The violent door banging continued.

“Brother Meng, hardly anyone lives here, shall we just break the door down?!”

“Did that thing come into the yard and never leave?”

“No. It was injured, all its teeth and claws were pulled out by Dr. Xue, and it’s also carrying a bunch of pups. I bet it doesn’t have the strength to dig a hole or climb out!”

“That’s good.”

“Anyone there? If you don’t open up, we’re coming in!!”

“Damn! Sleeping so early, did you turn into chickens?!”

In the backyard, the Mouse Mother continued to give birth to pups.

Jiang Yan’s thoughts returned.

The voice and tone of the one called “Brother Meng” sounded eerily familiar, making her subconsciously stunned.

At that moment, with a “clang,” the door to the first-floor living room opened.

Wearing masks, Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing came out one after another.

Both had a hand in the pocket of their padding jackets.

“Bang bang bang!” The door kicking continued.

“We are here, we are here.” Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing exchanged glances, stepping forward to open the courtyard door.

A group of people wearing N95 and uniform clothing rushed in, holding shotguns.

Wow!

Quite the spectacle.

“Damn, taking forever to open the door! I thought your whole family had died!”

The man leading the group entered first, glanced around with eyes full of caution, and immediately spewed out a string of curses at the two.

Hearing this voice, Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing were simultaneously startled.

The haze was thick, and the other party also wore masks and goggles.

However, they recognized him by his build, tone, and the scars barely visible on his face,

This man—

Was most likely Meng Daxiao, the number three man around Scar-faced Ma Longbiao from the Shallow Bay District!

The two had thought he, like Ma Longbiao, had perished at the Sky Hotel, blown to pieces.

Unexpectedly, not only had he survived, but his demeanor seemed more arrogant than before.

However, it might also just be a coincidence.

With this thought, the two exchanged glances, clenched their fists and took a deep breath of cold air.

They gritted their teeth and endured his cursing for the moment.

“Hey, you two, did you see something run in here?!” Seeing that the two hadn’t spoken, a young man aggressively stepped up to Sun Jingtao and asked.

In their eyes, those living in the base compound were all outsiders who had survived.

Although they had some resources compared to refugees in residential areas,

In their view, not only were the former nothing significant, but they were also easy targets to exploit.

If they became unhappy, taking everything and everyone from the opposite party wasn’t impossible.

A man with intact limbs could be sent to the mines as forced labor in exchange for some resources without a tongue.

As for women and children, the possibilities were even broader.

Even if higher-ups investigated, it would end up as no body, no crime.

Moreover, most of the time, those higher-ups turned a blind eye to these situations.

After all, the former had already paid for renting and entering the base.

Registration of identity was mostly done under assumed names.

With limited resources in the base and its high terrain, there was no need to worry about a shortage of refugees.

Thus, survivors arriving at the base were merely new financial fodder for the base.

“I didn’t see anything,” Sun Jingtao had no idea of the other party’s inner thoughts and shook his head, raising an eyebrow,

“Or perhaps, what ran in wasn’t ‘anything’ at all.”

“F*ck! Whom the hell are you insulting?!” The young man pulled off his mask, spat on the ground, hastily put it back on, and lifted his gun butt to smash at Sun Jingtao.

Given the other party’s numerical advantage and unknown identity background, Sun Jingtao chose not to retaliate but merely dodged the attack with a swift movement.

“Laoliu!”

The young man wanted to continue the attack but was rebuked by the man called Brother Meng.

“Split into two groups! One group, go to the backyard! The other, search the house! Dig three feet if you must but find it and its offspring for me!” the man called Brother Meng commanded with a wave of his hand.

“Yes!”

“Okay, Brother Meng!”

Two men split up, one going left and the other right towards the backyard.

Another man responded, taking the rest towards the living room, but after a few steps, Sun Jingtao stopped him with an outstretched hand.

“You son of a—”

The man was about to raise his gun but saw Ye Qing, who was taller, stepping past Sun Jingtao and closely approaching, pulling a dagger from his bag, nimbly twisting it around like a silver snake, and placing it against Brother Meng’s neck.

Not using firearms, not allowing the opposition to enter the internal house had been the defense line Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing had agreed on before opening the door.

Moreover, capturing the leader as a primary target is an undefeated truth throughout the ages.

Ye Qing’s agile speed and the icy hard sensation of the sharp weapon caused the man’s pupils to contract instantly. His previous arrogance disappeared in a second, “Don’t!”

“Kurt—” The others loaded their bullets in a second, pointing their guns towards them.

The atmosphere turned instantly tense.

“Sons of bitches, nobody f*cking move!” Brother Meng cursed but inadvertently glanced at Ye Qing’s dark eyes and the hand holding the dagger.

His gaze was indifferent, but his eyes were as black as deep pools.

At a glance, amidst the unwrinkled youth, there was an awe-inspiring and chilling aura.

As for his hands.

They were long-fingered, distinctively jointed hands.

He was neither a pervert nor gay, to be able to appreciate another man’s eyes and hands when facing danger.

Rather, it was because the demeanor and actions of these two men evoked a familiar impression in his mind.

Ye Qing—

Sun Jingtao—

Thinking of these two names, Meng Daxiao’s eyes suddenly flashed with a vicious red, like that of a venomous snake.

Su Dai and Jiang Yan, those two b*tches, must also be inside, right?!

This was heaven-sent!

To meet them here!

The time for redemption had come!
