Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 59 - Unexpected Guests

It seemed, indeed, people shouldn’t be coddled; she had only been pampered by her brother for two months and already she couldn’t bear being alone.

Han Jiaojiao went upstairs to check on Xiao Jian, who lay in the bed with his eyes closed, his skin heated and slightly reddened. She took some ice from the freezer, wrapped it in a thick towel, and placed it beside him, then turned down the air conditioning a bit, hoping it would make him more comfortable.

After finishing these tasks, Han Jiaojiao went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. It was only two o’clock now, but since there was nothing else to do, she might as well take it slow.

She held the cookbook in one hand while she prepared the ingredients. After busying herself for nearly an hour, she heard the sound of a vehicle approaching and couldn’t help feeling joy.

How could they have returned so quickly?

With great excitement, Han Jiaojiao ran out, only to find that it wasn’t their HUMVEE but a small van.

With the rescue troops flooding into the city, everyone had gone to the outskirts to the crossroads. Who would be coming up the mountain at this time?

Without a change in her expression, Han Jiaojiao picked up the sniper rifle that was leaning against the wall. Seeing the van stop in front of her yard and three men and a woman get out—these people happened to be the thugs who had tried to rob them last time—Han Jiaojiao remembered the man with the sharp monkey cheekbones. She sneered and put down the rifle, switching to a more compact handgun. She slowly approached the entrance hall, sticking to the wall so as not to be spotted.

From the main entrance to the yard gate was only a distance of fifty to sixty meters. She could easily take care of these people with the handgun. To be on the safe side, Han Jiaojiao fitted the handgun with a silencer.

Still, it was unexpected that there were only four of them now, when last time there had been five—she wondered if one of them had been taken away by an Alien Species… and they had changed vehicles…

“Hui, this house looks great. Look, they even installed an electric fence! These rich folk must have hidden lots of valuable stuff inside,” the man with the monkey cheekbones was the first to speak.

“Is there anyone inside?” the woman by his side asked uneasily, peering into the yard.

“Who cares if there’s someone or not! With Hui around, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“Let’s go, hurry inside. Once it gets dark, it won’t be safe to stay out here anymore.”

A man with tattoos on his arm pushed at the iron gate and said, “Hui, the gate is locked, it’s an electronic lock.”

“Step aside!” the man referred to as Hui approached the iron gate.

At first glance, he seemed to be just an ordinary thug of no remarkable appearance, but when he stretched out his arms and tightly grasped the iron gate’s bars, Han Jiaojiao’s heart gave a fierce leap!

It was the Ability of strength! —— Enhancement Type strength enhancement!

The indestructible iron bars were as easily twisted in his hands as rubber twists!

She couldn’t wait any longer!

The moment he pulled open the iron gate, Han Jiaojiao suddenly turned around, aimed at his forehead, and fired a shot!

The few people behind her had just felt a sneaky joy for the gate being opened and the smiles had not yet faded from their faces before Han Jiaojiao had already swiftly walked out, bang bang bang bang——they fell to the ground one after another to the muffled sounds of gunfire! Only that woman remained, her face deathly pale, watching with absolute terror as Han Jiaojiao approached.

She wanted to run, but her legs were too weak to stand, her lips quivered violently, she was so frightened she even forgot to scream.

Han Jiaojiao had just killed several people, yet there was not the slightest expression on her face, as though she had simply stepped on a few ants just now.

She walked over to the woman with an expressionless face, pointed the gun at her forehead, and said in a cold voice, “Speak, why have you come here.”

“Don’t… don’t kill me! It has nothing to do with me… It has nothing to do with me…” The woman’s emotions were still caught in the fear of death.

Han Jiaojiao frowned slightly, already somewhat impatient. “I’m asking you, why have these people come here? What are they planning to do?”

The woman was stunned for quite a while before she stuttered out, “They are… Boss Hu’s men! They, they came to steal food, water… and also to steal women… Don’t kill me, it has nothing to do with me… I was brought here by them, I know nothing…”

“Boss Hu?” Han Jiaojiao didn’t know there was such a person, “People from a nearby base?”

The woman nodded desperately.

Han Jiaojiao was silent. That explained it. After the apocalyptic world, aside from four relatively official large bases, many small private bases were scattered everywhere. Boss Hu’s case was not rare; he had gathered a group of thugs to scavenge for supplies everywhere, like the bandits of ancient times who claimed a mountain as their own.

In her past life, she had heard of a group of criminals who had escaped from prison, established a private base, and ruled over it with notoriety. Unfortunately, when the Ice Age came, those people all froze to death.

Seeing the woman crying pitifully, Han Jiaojiao lowered her handgun. She had long developed a heart of stone in her past life and naturally would not soften just because the other party shed a few tears, but she also did not take pleasure in killing.

Han Jiaojiao paid her no more attention and walked over to the van they had arrived in, opened the back of the vehicle —— sure enough, it was filled with food and daily necessities, and there were also many high-end items. It was likely they had also gone through other villas on the mountain.

Suddenly, someone lunged at her from behind! Han Jiaojiao swiftly sidestepped, at the same time slamming down the rear door with great force!

“Ah!!! ——” The woman screamed in agony!

Half of her hand was trapped in the door, the edge a bloody mess, and at the same time, an iron rod fell from beside the woman’s hand.

Han Jiaojiao pressed down hard on the rear door, ignoring her piteous screaming and sobbing. She raised the gun in her hand, aiming at the woman kneeling at the back of the car, crying in pain——

Bang!

The crying abruptly ceased.

“I didn’t want to kill you originally…” Han Jiaojiao murmured.
