The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter

Chapter 127 The Forgotten Wang Youde

When the celebration banquet ended, the moon was already high in the sky.

In order to prevent everyone from staying up too late and causing trouble, Ji Wanwan asked everyone who was already a little tipsy to go back to their rooms to rest, and she went to where Ji's mother was.

This time she goes to Jiangcheng, she might stay for several days. Now Xia Li and Qi Hao are still in her private space, and she can't do without someone to take care of them.

She couldn't completely trust anyone, whether it was 001 or anyone else, except her own mother.

So Ji Wanwan explained her purpose to her mother.

When Ji's mother heard this, she gladly accepted Ji Wanwan's request and said that she would take good care of the two children.

Ji Wanwan naturally had no worries since her mother had stepped in, but when she thought of Grandma Qi Hao, she couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

She told her mother the white lie she had told Qi Hao's grandmother, and asked her mother to be careful and not let the truth out.

After a sigh from Ji's mother and repeated remarks with eyes full of heartache, she said that she would definitely not be discovered, Ji Wanwan reluctantly returned to her own private space.

After giving all the necessary instructions and making all the necessary arrangements, Ji Wanwan finally felt at ease.

After returning to the suite, she visited Xia Li and Qi Hao respectively and talked to them before washing up and going to bed to recharge her energy for going to Jiangcheng tomorrow.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Kai and Xu Siming, who were fully prepared, were already waiting in the restaurant, ready to set off as soon as Ji Wanwan came out.

The three of them left quickly and cleanly, but Ji Wanwan had forgotten something.

So, two days later.

Wang Youde stood at the gate of the inner city, looking disheveled in the wind.

The access control system issued a warning for the third time: [Sorry, you do not have permission to enter the inner city. ]

Wang Youde was silent for a moment, then clicked the visit button on the access control system.

[The lord is not at the base, and cannot be visited for the time being. 】

After waiting for half a day, Ji Wanwan still didn't come back, and Wang Youde was very depressed.

Just at this moment, 001, who had returned to recharge, appeared.

Seeing a person standing at the gate of the inner city, Butler 001 stepped forward dutifully: "Hello, distinguished guest, what can I do for you here?"

Wang Youde looked at 001 with curiosity.

This seems to be the robot that always follows the lord.

Thinking of this, Wang Youde answered the question truthfully: "The lord asked me to come to see her today, but I have been waiting here for a whole day and the lord has not come back."

"Ah?" 001 raised his hand and touched his bald head: "But the lord went to Jiangcheng for a mission two days ago. Didn't she tell you?"

Wang Youde:? May I ask?
Finally, the forgotten Wang Youde returned to the villa silently.

According to the base's rules, if you want to live in a comfortable dormitory, you need to pay corresponding points. Wang Youde and the other people who were rescued had no points, so they could only live temporarily in an unused villa in a crowded place. Only after they obtained enough points through labor could they live in the dormitory building.

Seeing Wang Youde coming back with a sad face after being out for a day, the people in the villa began their speculations.

Some people said that it must be the lord who assigned Wang Youde a task, but Wang Youde did not complete it, so the lord despised him and sent him back.

Some people also said that the lord was surrounded by many handsome men, and he only took a liking to Wang Youde on a whim that day. Now that he was no longer interested, he naturally kicked Wang Youde out again.

Some people also said that Wang Youde was not good at handling things, which made the popular people around the lord unhappy, so he was squeezed out. There were many speculations and rumors, but everyone seemed to agree on one fact, that is, the lord did not keep Wang Youde by his side.

This caused those who were originally polite to Wang Youde to change their attitude towards him in an instant.

Obviously Wang Youde did nothing, but at this moment he seemed to have done something unforgivable. Everyone in the villa could spit on him and bully him.

It was visible to the naked eye that Wang Youde's originally bright eyes gradually dimmed...

……

On the other side, Jiangcheng.

After Ji Wanwan raided a large supermarket, she sat in the presidential suite on the top floor of Jiangwan Hotel with Zhou Kai and Xu Siming to eat hot pot.

Xu Siming ate a piece of tripe and said, "There don't seem to be many high-level zombies in Jiangcheng, and the survivors we met are mostly ordinary people who haven't awakened their special powers. It's really strange."

Ji Wanwan picked up a piece of pork belly and threw it out of the window.

Hearing the roars coming from downstairs, Ji Wanwan nodded seriously: "It's very strange."

She had discovered this a few days ago when she and Xia Li came. She took away the tripe that Xu Siming had just thrown into the pot: "What do you think, senior?"

Looking at the disappearing tripe, Xu Siming licked his lips eagerly and raised his hand to put the whole plate of tripe down: "Is there a possibility that Liancheng is the origin of the zombie virus outbreak?"

Ji Wanwan shook her head: "Senior, you can tell from the looks of it that you don't like watching the news. Before the zombie virus broke out, there were many precursor cases all over the country, including overseas. These were all reported in the news. You can see them if you just scroll through them."

Xu Siming choked up as he finally got a piece of the tripe he had been longing for: "I usually spend more time in the lab, so I don't really watch the news."

Xu Siming rolled the tripe in the prepared sauce dish until it was covered with the sauce and then put it into his mouth.

The fragrant and spicy taste blossomed between his lips and teeth. He squinted his eyes in satisfaction and almost hummed in comfort.

Ji Wanwan also picked up a piece of tripe: "What about Brother Kai? What do you think?"

Brother Kai seems to be particularly silent today.

"Huh?" Zhou Kai, who had been holding the bowl for a long time without picking up any food, was stunned: "What did you say?"

Ji Wanwan: “…”

She raised her eyelids and looked at Zhou Kai.

Seeing that the dish in front of him was basically untouched and there was not much food in the bowl, Ji Wanwan picked up a piece of beef and put it into Zhou Kai's bowl: "Brother Kai, are you worried about something?"

Looking at the beef in the bowl, Zhou Kai pursed his lips, as if he had made a difficult decision, and looked into Ji Wanwan's eyes: "Based on the current situation, the zombies in Jiangcheng are not of high level. With your and Xu Siming's abilities, the zombies in Jiangcheng will not pose a threat to you.

We have already explored a small part of Jiangcheng so far, and it will take about four to five days to complete the exploration of Jiangcheng."

After a pause, he continued: "Boss Ji, I want to leave for three days and act alone. I will wait for you here in three days and go back to the base with you. If..."

He pursed his lips as if he was about to say something, but before he could finish his words, Ji Wanwan interrupted him: "Can you tell me what you want to do?"

Zhou Kai was silent for a while before he spoke: "Boss Ji, do you still remember what I said when I applied to join the team?"

Ji Wanwan put down her chopsticks and said, "Remember, you said that you had something you had to do and someone you had to see, so you needed to understand the outside world and become stronger, strong enough to survive without relying on the base!"

In Ji Wanwan's heart, as long as she recognizes them as her own people, she will take their words seriously, so she remembers every word they say.

She looked serious: "So Brother Kai, you are planning to do that thing and meet that person, right?"
