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

Chapter 149 Will You Hate Me?

By the time the chaos in the shelter died down, it was already dark.

The place was in a mess and the incessant sobbing made people feel heavy.

Ji Wanwan and her companions gathered in the small mud house to discuss the aftermath.

The small mud house, which originally housed only two people, now seemed extremely crowded, but Ji Wanwan felt extremely at ease. Perhaps this was the confidence that came from having her relatives and companions around her.

Faced with this dilapidated shelter, everyone unanimously agreed to take back those survivors who were willing to go back to the base with them, and as for the others, they would respect their choices.

After a brief introduction, nearly half of the people were willing to go to Liancheng's base, while the remaining half believed that all crows are black, and it is better to rely on oneself than on others.

After what happened in the shelter, it's not surprising that these people would think this way.

Ji Wanwan and his group expressed their respect and told them that they could go to Liancheng's base to seek refuge at any time if they wanted.

After everything that needed to be said was said, Ji Wanwan and his group set off back to base with the survivors.

Although only half of the people were willing to go back to the base with them, a rough calculation showed that there were nearly a hundred people, which was a considerable number.

In order to avoid so many people suddenly returning to the base and causing chaos, when they reached Liancheng Bridge, Ji Wanwan called Wen Yuheng and her mother in advance through the intercom and asked them to be prepared.

According to convention, new survivors entering the base must be quarantined for three days and confirmed to be free of the zombie virus before they can officially join the base.

When the group returned to the base, 001 and 002 had already cleared out five separate villas for isolation.

Mother Ji brought a few grandmothers to distribute packed lunch boxes to each of the survivors who had worked hard on the journey to fill their stomachs.

The box lunch is a simple one meat and two vegetable dishes, and also comes with a small bowl of thirst-quenching mung bean soup.

Although simple, for these survivors who were used to eating compressed biscuits and instant noodles, this bowl of box lunch was even more delicious than a full banquet. There were even many people with shallow eye sockets who sobbed while eating, leaving Mother Ji at a loss.

After settling these survivors, Ji Wanwan asked the companions who had returned from Jiangcheng to go back and rest, and hold a battle summary meeting tomorrow. Then she diligently inspected the base before returning to her private space.

At that time, Xia Li had returned early and took a bath with the help of Mingjing.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xia Li dozing off on the sofa, and Ji Wanwan closed the door quietly.

Although the voice was very small, Xia Li still opened his eyes in an instant.

Ji Wanwan smiled shyly: "I woke you up..."

Xia Li shook his head: "I am a light sleeper."

Ji Wanwan laughed and walked over to sit next to Xia Li.

She looked at Xia Li's body carefully. The broken limbs had grown a lot longer than before she left the base. At this rate, she believed that it would not take long for Xia Li to recover as normal.

Ji Wanwan felt warm in her heart when she thought about how everyone took good care of Xia Li at the Redemption Shelter.

She touched Xia Li's newly grown arm: "Ali, get well soon. When you get better, we'll have hotpot together again!"

Xia Li's eyes lit up: "I can eat even if I'm not well! Just feed me!"

Ji Wanwan couldn't help laughing out loud: "Okay! Feed you! I'll feed you tonight!"

Although Ji Wanwan was happy about Xia Li's improvement, her eyes unconsciously turned to the room where Qi Hao was.

During the days in Jiangcheng, she also searched for a lot of supplies. Maybe Qi Hao will wake up this time?
With hope in her heart, Ji Wanwan came to Qi Hao with great expectation. When she saw the familiar face of the man in the hibernation chamber, Ji Wanwan felt a pang of pain in her heart.

"Brother Qi Hao, I went to Jiangcheng. I was only planning to stay there for three days, but I encountered some problems and was delayed for a while. But don't worry, I'm fine. I'm not in danger. Everyone is fine too. How about you? How have you been these days?"

Although she knew Qi Hao would not respond, Ji Wanwan continued talking to herself.

She smiled gently and said, "You won't tell me? It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I can see it myself~"

After saying that, she raised her hand and touched the data display of the hibernation capsule: [System, monitoring Qi Hao's vital signs. ]

System: [The opponent's mental strength is 20%, physical strength is 25%, and vital signs have not changed. ]

After getting a response, Ji Wanwan withdrew her hand and lazily lay down on the hibernation capsule: "It seems that you have rested well during this period..."

As dusk approaches, the colorful sunset shines into the house through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving the people inside a layer of golden color like an oil painting.

Ji Wanwan fanned her eyelashes, her eyes filled with confusion.

After a long time, the sun set and was about to slip away from the house. The warm feeling gradually faded away, and the chill of early autumn slowly swept over the body. Ji Wanwan sat up, rubbed her numb wrists, and a trace of determination flashed across her eyes.

"Brother Qi Hao, once the hibernation capsule is opened, the results are still unknown. If there are any irreversible consequences, will you hate me?"

"Drip...drip...drip..."

The room was very quiet; only the steady beating of the instruments responded to Ji Wanwan's words.

Ji Wanwan lowered her eyes, and sadly stroked the man's eyebrows through the hibernation capsule: "Brother Qi Hao, I miss you, so this time, you must wake up..."

The last ray of sunlight jumped out of the window, and the whole house fell into darkness, and Ji Wanwan's eyes also dimmed.

When she looked up again, the sadness in Ji Wanwan's eyes had faded away, leaving only the determination of holding on to hope.

"call--"

She exhaled lightly, raised her hand and pressed the switch of the hibernation chamber.

As the cabin door opened, the vital signs detector connected to Qi Hao issued a sharp alarm.

Ji Wanwan frowned, and before she could even untie the various wires connecting Qi Hao, she directly held his hand: [System! All supplies are used for equivalent treatment! We can only stop when Qi Hao's vital signs reach more than 70%! ]

System: [OK, host! ]

A faint green energy wave spread out from Ji Wanwan's palm, and it was as if a circle of fireflies surrounded the dim room, which was very beautiful.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it seemed that not much time had passed, yet it seemed that a long time had passed.

The alarm of the vital signs monitor disappeared, and the reassuring "beep" sound rang out in the house.

System: [Host, Qi Hao's current physical strength is 75%, and his mental strength is 30%. I tried to continue using material equivalent treatment, but only his physical strength is recovering, and his mental strength has not changed. Do you want to continue? ]

Ji Wanwan pursed her lips: [Try again, and remind me when your strength reaches 85%.]

System: [OK, host.]

After another agonizing wait, the system's voice came again: [Host, Qi Hao's physical strength has reached 85%, but his mental strength is still 30%. Do you want to continue? ]
