Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 165 - : She Worried Too Much

Chapter 165: Chapter 165: She Worried Too Much

Jiang Yan’s words were light, and somewhat evasive.

“…” Ye Qing’s Adam’s apple bobbed, a trace of subtle desolation flashed in his eyes.

“Brother Sun, have you guys made a decision?” On the other side, Song Qian glanced at the three and asked loudly.

“Yes.” Sun Jingtao nodded, stood up, “Let’s go, let’s head home first and meet up with Su Dai.”

In his view, there was still quite a journey back home, and it was possible that Jiang Yan might change her mind along the way.

The three boarded the assault boat and put on the life jackets handed to them by Song Qian.

It was fast approaching eight o’clock.

The sky had completely brightened, with glimmering ripples on the water’s surface, and visibility had improved significantly.

Without the rain curtain obstructing their view, as long as the direction was correct, they could quickly find the Shallow Bay District by following some of the remaining tall buildings.

“Please, everyone, secure your seatbelts, we are setting off,” the warrior helming the boat announced after getting Song Qian’s nod and started the motor.

Since there were now two outsiders, Ye Qing’s trio did not discuss their personal affairs.

On the way, only Sun Jingtao and Song Qian chatted sporadically.

Most of their talk revolved around Yaoben Base.

Jiang Yan had only now learned that Song Qian and Qi Mengnan’s group had also joined them midway.

It was evident that Mo Jingsheng held them in some regard.

As for why their boat happened to arrive here, both sides avoided the topic.

Just like they didn’t inquire into Jiang Yan and Ye Qing’s full names, it seemed as though everyone deliberately maintained some distance.

The 101 sky hotel receded from their view, becoming more and more distant.

Midway through the journey, a loud “boom” echoed from not too far away.

A shroud of fog carrying dust dispersed into the air, causing the calm water surface to writhe with waves.

The assault boat they were on was swift, but they still felt that intense jolting sensation.

This unexpected event seemed to confirm Jiang Yan’s inner fears, causing her heart to sink.

It appeared that Yaoben Base and Flame Base were likely entangled in the matter.

However, why would they choose to save people?

Logically, it made no sense.

“This—” Sun Jingtao’s expression became solemn, “Is it that building we visited earlier that collapsed?”

“Yes, there were orders from above to demolish that building,” Song Qian replied without hiding the fact.

“Why?” Sun Jingtao was somewhat shocked.

Song Qian glanced ahead and shook his head, “Not sure.”

Often, they were merely executors.

As to why the higher-ups would make such decisions, they had no way of knowing.

Even if they did know, they couldn’t just talk about it freely.

Sun Jingtao wanted to ask more, but Ye Qing gave him a look.

Ye Qing had seen the bodies on the rooftop, but he hadn’t yet had the chance to discuss it in detail with Sun Jingtao.

Jiang Yan’s mind was also in turmoil.

She was considering whether to share what she had overheard with them.

After mulling it over for a few seconds, she ultimately decided to let it go.

Since they were only taking a ride to East Mountain and not entering the base, it might be beneficial not to know too much.

At least there was no need to worry about being hunted down or silenced.

When the trio’s assault boat arrived at Shallow Bay, the big boat that had been ferrying people back to the district had just left.

It was said that they had taken away a large number of people wishing to go to Yaoben Base.

Although the downpour had stopped, most were still afraid of the rain returning with a vengeance.

Given the chance to leave, naturally, they didn’t want to linger another moment.

It was likely that many had chosen to leave, making the stairwell of the building eerily quiet.

The three disembarked on the landing of the 24th floor.

“Brother Song, and this young man, would you like to come upstairs for a bit?” Sun Jingtao invited the two.

Song Qian checked his tactical watch and said, “No need, we’ll wait for you on the boat. One hour should be enough, right? We still need to catch up with the leader’s boat.”

“That’s enough,” Sun Jingtao nodded.

Only then did Jiang Yan learn that soon after their departure, the big boat had also set sail.

And it was heading in the direction of East Mountain.

The three of them hurried upstairs.

They had only been gone for a day.

But it felt to them as if they had been away for ten days or half a month.

Sun Jingtao climbed the stairs two at a time, his desire to see his wife making him anxious.

After all, when he left, he had resolved himself for certain death.

How could he bear to let his wife join him in such a perilous undertaking?

It was just that things had gone too smoothly, and they had encountered a stroke of luck.

However, these were details to be shared with his wife later.

After embracing tightly for a while as if they hadn’t seen each other in ages, Su Dai finally lifted her face from her husband’s chest.

She walked over to Jiang Yan, hugged her tightly, and sobbed without saying a word.

Jiang Yan stiffened all over, taken aback.

A sense of inexplicable warmth slowly spread from Su Dai to the bottom of her heart.

“Let’s go, let’s go home, there are people waiting for us,” Sun Jingtao said, looking at his wife with a doting smile.

Only then did Su Dai realize, “I saw them through the telescope. Who are they? Also, why don’t I see Zhao Pengfei? Among the people that boat brought back, I only saw his son, Zhao Xiaofei. What have they been through? He and Zhou Haotian’s wrists, they seem almost broken…”

While walking, Sun Jingtao highlighted the main events of their experience to his wife.

Although he downplayed the dangers, Su Dai was visibly shocked by the story.

Also, spectators see the game better than the players.

Su Dai felt puzzled, “Those boats arrived too strangely… They couldn’t be in league with the bad guys, could they?”

“My dear, what is considered a so-called bad guy, what is a so-called good guy nowadays?” Sun Jingtao laug

The door to Zhou Wei’s apartment at 3203 was wide open, with several large, dried puddles of blood at its threshold.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan’s brow furrowed slightly.

Next to her, Su Dai looked at the bloodstains and suddenly let out a silent sigh,

“Alas, indeed…”
