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

Chapter 136 Two Survivors

Zhan Yu came over with a few steaming sweet potatoes in his hand and said hello with a smile: "I didn't expect you guys to get up so early, have you eaten?"

"Heh..." Xu Siming looked meaningfully at the currency in Zhan Yu's hand and sneered unhappily.

Zhan Yu was slightly startled, then immediately reacted.

He smiled apologetically: "Blame me, blame me, I didn't think it through!"

As he spoke, Zhan Yu stuffed the sweet potato in his hand into Ji Wanwan's hand: "Take it and eat it. I'll go buy some more. I'll tell you how to get the currency in the shelter later."

After saying that, Zhan Yu didn't even queue up, but ran towards the food station with his long legs.

I don't know what he said to the person who served him the food, but he happily gave him a few more sweet potatoes and a few buns.

Staring at the sweet potato, Xu Siming's mouth twitched.

Tsk, I'm so down and out, I have to eat this stuff...

Seeing Xu Siming's eyes full of disdain, Ji Wanwan gave him an elbow in annoyance: "Hey, hey, hey, it's the end of the world. It's good to have this kind of food. You should be content."

Xu Siming felt resentful for a second, then took the sweet potato and started to eat it bitterly.

As he was talking, Zhan Yu, who had received the food, came over.

He stuffed the buns to Ji Wanwan and said, "Miss Ji, you and Brother Xu eat first. I will come to see you later as I promised you yesterday."

Ji Wanwan held the hot buns in her hands and said: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, you go ahead, oh, by the way, thank you for the buns and sweet potatoes~"

Zhan Yu smiled shyly: "You're welcome."

After returning to the small mud house, Ji Wanwan put the buns and sweet potatoes into the system space, and took out two loaves of bread to share with Xu Siming.

Xu Siming was a little confused: "Why don't you eat the buns and sweet potatoes? Why do you have to queue up if you don't want to eat?"

Ji Wanwan giggled: "I'm afraid these are human meat buns. And these sweet potatoes, how do you know if there are bodies buried in the soil where they are grown? You queue up to appear less weird. I didn't say you have to eat them if you queue up."

Xu Siming, who had just eaten a sweet potato, asked: "?"

"vomit!!!"

"Xiao Wan, thank you, really!!!"

At this moment, Xu Siming's resentment was expressed in a concrete way, and Ji Wanwan couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Not long after I finished eating the bread, Zhan Yu came.

As soon as he entered the door, he shrugged his nose: "Miss Ji, why is there a sweet smell of bread in your room?"

The two who had just eaten bread shook their heads without blushing or beating their hearts: "I don't know! Maybe you are hungry, Brother Zhan!"

Zhan Yu: "..."

Can you two be more obvious?

Finally, Zhan Yu took Ji Wanwan to meet the two survivors as he said yesterday. One of them was Lin Changhe and the other was Peng Dacheng.

According to Zhan Yu's description, after the two men came back alive, they both became the director's deputies. Lin Changhe was mainly responsible for tedious internal affairs, while Peng Dacheng was mainly responsible for external affairs such as fighting and resisting zombies. The two had a clear division of labor and did not interfere with each other. They would directly ask the director for instructions when encountering problems.

Unexpectedly, Ji Wanwan thought that Peng Dacheng would be a burly, ferocious middle-aged man, but when she saw with her own eyes that the young man in front of her who looked honest and taciturn was Peng Dacheng, Ji Wanwan was shocked.

During the day, Lin Changhe was still as gentle, compassionate and loving as ever, making people feel close to him and want to talk to him more.

If it weren't for the hint of doubt and hostility in Lin Changhe's eyes when he saw Ji Wanwan, Ji Wanwan would have thought that the person she saw last night and the person in front of her were two different people.

After such a brief eye contact, Ji Wanwan knew that Lin Changhe had recognized her. She did not intend to hide it, and immediately curled her lips towards Lin Changhe with a smile, trying to provoke him.

Lin Changhe's eyes were deep and his hypocritical face was almost broken, but it was obvious that his level was not low, and the sinister expression was replaced by a warm smile in an instant.

Ji Wanwan turned and left, giving Lin Changhe a contemptuous look before leaving.

Zhan Yu, who was following Ji Wanwan, noticed the undercurrent between Ji Wanwan and Lin Changhe: "Does Miss Ji know Deputy Lin?"

Ji Wanwan shook her head: "I don't know him, I just don't like him."

Zhan Yu: "?"

As he spoke, Ji Wanwan glanced at Zhan Yu meaningfully: "Brother Zhan, did I hurt you by doing that just now?"

Zhan Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if smiling: "Then guess why I agreed to bring you to see Lin Changhe?"

Ji Wanwan's smile deepened, not hiding her interest at all: "So, why do you want Lin Changhe to die so much?"

"Wow..." Zhan Yu exclaimed as expected: "Miss Ji's ability to hit the nail on the head is really enviable..."

Ji Wanwan was not modest: "Thank you for the compliment, so may I know the reason?"

Zhan Yu's eyes flashed with resentment, and he simply said four words: "Kill someone and pay with your life."

Although it is not explained in detail, these four simple words are enough to explain a lot.

After seeing what happened last night, Ji Wanwan was not surprised that Zhan Yu could say such words.

She tried to probe: "Lin Changhe looks kind, how come he can kill people?"

Zhan Yu sneered and gave Ji Wanwan a look that said, "You already know the answer but you still ask."

Ji Wanwan curled her lips and said nothing more.

It seems that Zhan Yu knows the secret of the shelter, but why did he set his sights on her and Xu Siming? Isn’t he afraid that they will sell him out?

Ji Wanwan still doesn’t know what the truth is.

She no longer talked too much about Lin Changhe so as not to reveal too many details.

On the way back to the small mud house, Ji Wanwan asked about the orchard in a roundabout way.

Logically speaking, the bodies were buried so shallowly that people who went up the mountain to pick fruit should have easily found them, but it was obvious that the people in the shelter were not aware of this.

Zhan Yu’s answer was that the fruit forest in the back mountain was a forbidden area, and only those with the director’s permission were qualified to go up the mountain to pick fruit.

The director said that these fruits are very rare and eating them can strengthen the body. Due to the small yield, they are not sold individually, but only distributed as rewards to people who have made contributions to the shelter.

If you put it that way, it makes sense.

Things have come to this point, and no one knows whether the director of this shelter will show up. What kind of person is he, and how strong is he?
Just as she was thinking, Zhan Yu's voice interrupted her thoughts: "Miss Ji, did you and Brother Xu sneak up the mountain last night?"

Ji Wanwan denied it without even thinking: "I'm not, I didn't."

Zhan Yu's mouth twitched and his gaze was fixed on Ji Wanwan's shoes.

The edge of the shoe was stained with the red mud that is unique to the fruit forest on the back mountain. Ji Wanwan lowered her eyes to take a look and immediately felt a lump in her throat. She said stubbornly, "Hey, where did you get this? The environment in your shelter is not good. The mud is so heavy."

Zhan Yu: "..."

As he was speaking, a man came towards him.

The man stood in front of Ji Wanwan and made a gesture of invitation: "Hello, our director wants to meet you and your friends. Please come with me."
