Chapter 169 Going Home Happily

Huang Jie probably sensed this, which is why he helplessly tolerated Xiao Shiyang's endless tolerance of Li Wenhao. Tong Yin likely sensed it too, which is why she unconsciously felt jealous of Li Wenhao and so vehemently disliked and slandered him…

Meeting Li Wenhao's bewildered gaze, Mu Qingyu said nothing—it was none of her business, and she didn't want to get involved!

Afterwards, Mu Qingyu left the theater with Shen Zhuzhu, Qian Zhong, and Lao Ma. She planned to find Xiao Shiyang, say hello, and then leave.

However, when I arrived at the theater lobby, it was packed with people.

Xiao Shiyang was surrounded by the parasites, looking dejected and lifeless. They chattered about their needs, some indignant and some distressed.

Xiao Shiyang remained expressionless and unresponsive.

When Tong Yin saw Mu Qingyu, her face was filled with sorrow and fear. She asked Mu Qingyu, "Can you stay and help Brother Xiao? Brother Huang Jie said you're very capable..."

"No." Mu Qingyu refused her decisively.

"Why? Are we just going to let someone like Li Wenhao take over the place?!" Tong Yin was clearly furious, so furious that she lost her temper.

Mu Qingyu stared at Tong Yin: "What kind of person is Li Wenhao? Tong Yin, ask yourself honestly, why do you have such a strong opinion about Li Wenhao? Is it really objective?"

"Moreover," Mu Qingyu sneered, "wasn't it your Brother Xiao who gave up the opportunity to usurp the throne? Is this situation solely Li Wenhao's fault? Doesn't your Brother Xiao bear any responsibility at all?"

Tong Yin was shocked: "Brother Xiao is a good person. He does good things. Is it wrong to do good deeds?" she questioned Mu Qingyu.

Mu Qingyu shrugged, deciding not to reason with Tong Yin anymore. Tong Yin wasn't Mu Qingrong, who needed her older sister's guidance. Besides, if Mu Qingrong became terribly stubborn, Mu Qingyu would give up on him just the same way.

Moreover, it was just a child's voice I'd met by chance. Mu Qingyu had absolutely no interest in being a teacher.

So she simply waved and said, "Alright, we're leaving now. See you again someday."

"Are you just going to leave like this? You..." Tong Yin caught up a few steps, wanting to say something, but Mu Qingyu suddenly turned around and looked at her.

"Did your Brother Xiao tell you what happened when he went out the day before yesterday? Without me, they wouldn't even be able to find the body now. Tongyin, don't try to morally blackmail me."

Mu Qingyu's words stunned Tong Yin.

Then Mu Qingyu laughed again and asked Tong Yin, "Look now, has my level of malice towards you increased?"

The child's voice froze on the spot.

Mu Qingyu didn't say goodbye to Xiao Shiyang again and left the theater with her people directly—after all, she had already told Tong Yin, and she had also told Xiao Shiyang.

There were many zombies surrounding the theater, but that was no problem; Mu Qingyu could easily clear them away.

With a wave of his hand, an off-road vehicle appeared out of thin air in the cleared area where the zombies had been eliminated.

"Get in the car." Mu Qingyu pulled Chen Zhuzhu over and put her in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and then got into the driver's seat herself.

Qian Zhong thought to himself, "Holy crap, holy crap," but this was the second time he had witnessed Mu Qingyu's "amazing skill," so he could only utter a couple of "holy crap"s.

Old Ma was completely stunned! Where did this car suddenly appear from?!

Although they encountered Mu Qingyu once on the first day amidst the swirling yellow sand, visibility was poor then, and he was too timid to look closely.

So this was the first time Lao Ma had witnessed Mu Qingyu's spatial abilities.

Qian Zhong quickly gave the dazed Lao Ma a hard shove, afraid that if he was any slower, Mu Qingyu would impatiently step on the gas and drive off, leaving the two of them standing there.

On the way back, it was already dark, but Mu Qingyu noticed that the sandstorm seemed to have subsided.

She calculated the days in her mind; the sandstorm was almost over.

We encountered several people on the road, presumably those returning after collecting supplies. There were no robberies, but everyone was very wary of their SUVs.

Mu Qingyu didn't stop and drove quickly towards the suburbs.

She returned the way she came and arrived back at the "gunpowder village" that very night. Mu Qingyu and three others spent the night there.

It's quite safe here, and Mu Qingyu felt there was no need to rush. She could rest here for the night and return home refreshed tomorrow, arriving home before noon.

After being away for six or seven days, she was still very happy to be going home. However, this time, there were all kinds of meals prepared by Xiao Ai in her space, which Mu Qingyu could choose from, so she didn't suffer at all on this trip.

The next morning, Mu Qingyu, along with Qian Zhong and Lao Ma, collected some more things in the village before driving home.

Sure enough, Mu Qingyu returned to the village entrance smoothly before noon.

When she went out, she cleared away all the zombies along the way, but when she came back, the road was full of zombies again.

Mu Qingyu couldn't help but marvel at how large the population of this world was before the apocalypse; she had no idea where all these zombies came from.

There were still sentries in the village. They were very nervous and vigilant when they saw the off-road vehicle. Later, when Mu Qingyu got out of the car and showed her face, someone immediately came out and opened the barrier blocking the road for Mu Qingyu.

Mu Qingyu was somewhat surprised; this thing didn't exist when she left.

Driving into the village, Mu Qingyu found that there were still patrols. She wondered if Qin Zhaoxian had recovered. This was not good news.

However, the patrolmen clearly did not have any hostility towards Mu Qingyu. When Mu Qingyu put away the car and walked back with the three of them, the patrolmen even nodded and greeted Mu Qingyu.

Mu Qingyu was even more surprised. She didn't actually know any of these people, so she couldn't tell if they were the same group that had come with Qin Zhaoxian.

However, whatever she wants to know, she will soon have the answer.

Back at her doorstep, Mu Qingyu carefully examined Building No. 3 for a while. Building No. 3 had undergone significant changes.

The courtyard wall has been raised, and a mesh of steel has been erected on it, making it look like a pre-apocalyptic power grid.

The dents and bumps that had been smashed into the gate had been repaired, and Mu Qingyu even felt that the gate seemed to have been reinforced—it was thicker now.

Mu Qingyu used the key to open the courtyard gate and let the three people into the courtyard.

Logically speaking, Mu Qingyu didn't really like people entering her room. She wanted to hand Qian Zhong and Lao Ma over to Han Yu for a while, and then ask Ji Qingqing if they could help take care of Chen Zhuzhu, with some kind of payment.

But she's only just returned home and doesn't know what's going on in the village yet. She can't just leave the three of them in the yard forever, can she?
