The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter
Chapter 135 Year’s Promise
Chapter 135 Ten Years of Agreement
"Brother Kai!"
The voice of worry that could not be transmitted in time echoed in the cabin.
Xu Siming patted Ji Wanwan's shoulder soothingly: "Trust Brother Kai, he is the strongest fighter in our base, he will be fine."
Having said that, the roars of the zombies coming through the walkie-talkie were so close, how could Ji Wanwan not be worried.
She lowered her eyes to look at the intercom, and unconsciously tightened her grip: "This is best..."
……
On the other side, in the most affluent Yujiangcheng villa area in Jiangcheng.
After cutting off the intercom, Zhou Kai kicked the zombie that had broken free from the rope and was rushing towards him madly away.
The zombie slammed hard against the wall with a dull sound. Although one of its legs was clearly broken, it still stood up tenaciously and roared as it pounced on Zhou Kai again.
The latter calmly picked up the rope, flexibly went behind the zombie, and quickly tied up the zombie again.
After tying up the zombie tightly, he sat down tiredly opposite the zombie, tore off a piece of cloth from the bed sheet, and wrapped it around his arm, which was accidentally scratched by sharp broken glass and was bleeding profusely when he was tying up the zombie.
Looking at the zombies screaming in front of him, Zhou Kai's eyes were filled with deep coldness.
Although the zombie was tied tightly to a stool, it still stretched its neck and roared at Zhou Kai out of instinct.
Waves of stench hit Zhou Kai in the face, but he seemed not to hear it.
After tying his arms, he looked coldly at the zombie in front of him. The fickle and irritable man in his memory had completely changed beyond recognition, but he could still overlap this face with the mature and profound face of the man in his memory.
Suddenly, he pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mockery: "Dad, I'm here to fulfill my promise..."
His memory unconsciously went back to eleven years ago, when he was still in high school.
He was living in the school dormitory when he received a call from his housekeeper and suddenly heard the news that his mother had jumped off the building holding his sister.
When he hurried back home, he saw only the cold bodies of his mother and sister.
That day, his aunt cried until her eyes were red, but the satisfaction in her eyes did not escape his eyes.
In order to cover up the scandal that his father had an affair with his sister-in-law and forced his wife to death, his father suppressed his mother's death and lied to others that his mother had an acute illness.
Less than a year after my mother passed away, my father married my aunt on the grounds that she looked like my mother and would strengthen the relationship between the two families.
His father thought he knew nothing, but he was not a fool, so how could he not know anything?
I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but the day my aunt came into the house was the first anniversary of my mother and sister’s death.
That day, he did not attend his father's wedding, but sat in front of his mother's grave for a day.
He knew that the dead were gone, but he was unwilling to just watch his mother and sister leave quietly, like a feather falling into the water, without even causing a ripple.
He said his father owed his mother an apology, but his father angrily accused him of being stupid and disobedient.
From then on, he made a promise to his mother that he would make that scumbag come to her grave in person to apologize to her and her sister.
After the wedding, he chose to study abroad and grow his wings in a place where his father couldn't see him.
Over the years, he has used his own abilities to gradually chip away at his father's business and turn it into his own.
Outsiders only thought that the heir of the Zhou family was capable, so Mr. Zhou handed over his own businesses to his son to manage early on.
Whenever he saw his father having resentment in his heart but fearing his tactics and enduring it with a smile, he felt extremely happy in his heart.
But no matter how much he did, his mother and sister would not come back. Liancheng's Xinshui Ecological Resort was the last project. When the project was approved and everything was settled, he planned to take his father to apologize to his mother.
But who knew that the end of the world would come on the day the project was approved.
He once thought it was ridiculous and even suspected that God was playing a trick on him. After ten years of hard work and when he was about to succeed, all his efforts became a joke.
But who is he? He is Zhou Kai who never gives up!
Even if the end of the world comes and he has to start all over again, what does it matter?
So he had to become strong, very strong, strong enough to no longer be afraid of anything, and to be able to live well in this doomsday even if he only had himself to rely on.
Fortunately, he did it.
Ji Wanwan suddenly came to my mind, the little girl who always looked cold and indifferent but was kind-hearted and full of passion.
It was she who made him find hope in this doomsday, and it was she who gave him the opportunity to grow.
If Ji Wanwan had not agreed to let him join the team, he would not have had the opportunity to come to Jiangcheng to fulfill his promise today.
"Roar!!!"
My thoughts gradually returned to reality, and the roar in my ears became clear again.
Zhou Kai exhaled a breath of foul air, looked up at the night outside the window, and murmured as if talking to himself: "Mom, when the day breaks, I will bring this sinner to see you..."
……
After a short nap, Ji Wanwan and Xu Siming were awakened by noisy noises at daybreak.
Seeing that some people had already started to move around in the shelter, Ji Wanwan rubbed his eyebrows and turned over to sit up.
It’s early enough...
I didn't feel anything when I had food and drink in the base. Now it seems that this is the life that ordinary survivors should have.
After a while, the sun rose and meals began to be served in the shelter. In order not to stand out from the crowd, Ji Wanwan and Xu Siming also went to the meal counter to line up.
When they arrived, Ji Wanwan saw that the people queuing up seemed to be holding something like a meal ticket, so she asked a kind-looking older sister next to her: "Sister, I just got here last night and don't know much about the rules of the shelter. I want to ask, what are you holding in your hands?"
The elder sister gave Ji Wanwan a strange look and said, "Didn't the person who brought you here tell you?"
She opened her palm, and inside was a piece of colored paper with the number 2 written on it and the words "Salvation Sanctuary" printed on it.
"This is the currency in the shelter. In the shelter, all supplies must be purchased with money." The elder sister only gave Ji Wanwan a glance, then took her hand back and carefully held the money tightly: "You can't do anything without money."
No matter where you are, you have to pay a price to obtain supplies, and Ji Wanwan naturally understands this.
“So how do you get this currency?” she asked.
Seeing the team ahead move, the elder sister followed and walked forward a few steps, saying as she walked: "There are many ways to get currency. For example, I get currency by raising chickens. I raise 50 chickens and earn 5 yuan a day. Oh, it's my turn!"
When it was the eldest sister's turn, she immediately left Ji Wanwan behind and said, "Well, eldest sister, you can ask the person who brought you back yesterday for details. I have something else to do, so I won't tell you."
The eldest sister left decisively, and Ji Wanwan nodded politely: "Sister, you go ahead and do your work."
Watching her elder sister walk away, Ji Wanwan curled her lips.
It seems that it is impossible to follow the crowd.
Just as she was about to return to the hut, she suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Miss Ji, Brother Xu, good morning..."
