Chapter 133 Good news: Internal strife within the Shen family, and outside news: zombies have appeared.
Lin's parents have already left with Xiao Nuan. They now go online and know that the outside world is not peaceful and that most people are living in misery, so they are very content and grateful to be able to live in a safe house.
Those high-tech gadgets weren't something they could handle. Judging from my daughter's expression, she seemed quite concerned and worried. It's best not to stay and cause any trouble.
As for when we need their help to monitor the outside world later, that's fine too.
Seeing that Lin Muyan was focused on a screen, Lin Xiao quickly realized who the people sitting in the car were.
His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Lin Muyan with concern.
Lin Muyan seemed to sense his gaze, turned her head and smiled:
"What's wrong? Is there anything else, brother?"
Lin Xiao hesitated, glancing at the two people in the front seat of the car on the screen. He knew his sister had feelings for Rong Muchen before, and he was afraid she still harbored those feelings and wouldn't be able to accept seeing him with Shen Jiaojiao.
“Sister, Rong Muchen is not someone you should worry about. He actually helped the Shen family and asked you to give up the house. He is a wicked person.”
Lin Xiao thought for a moment and then voiced his thoughts. He didn't want his sister to have any illusions. As a man, he looked down on someone like Rong Muchen.
Lin Muyan looked at Lin Xiao quietly, then suddenly smiled.
“Brother, you’re overthinking it. I’ve seen through him a long time ago. In the apocalypse, you can’t easily feel sympathy for others, especially someone who hurt me before. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
“However,” Lin Muyan changed the subject, pointing to Shen Jiaojiao in the passenger seat and looking at Lin Xiao:
"Brother, do you still have feelings for this sister you used to have?"
Lin Xiao was taken aback upon hearing this, then gave a wry smile. It seemed that his sister also thought he was clueless.
He shook his head:
"It's not that I lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Since she has chosen to abandon everything here, why should I continue to care about her affairs?"
Seeing the determination in Lin Xiao's eyes, Lin Muyan knew it was true and nodded, nodding to stop the conversation.
Lin Xiao finished his workout, said hello, and then went back to the gym.
Actually, he had been holding back earlier. Now, he not only stopped paying attention to Shen Jiaojiao, but he also gained a deeper understanding of her as a person.
I used to think this younger sister was just rebellious and difficult to get along with, but now it seems she has a bad heart and never had good intentions from the beginning.
What Lin Xiao didn't tell Lin Muyan was that when the apocalypse came, Shen Jiaojiao kept talking to him, saying a lot of bad things about Lin Muyan and clearing herself of any wrongdoing, saying that she had heard these things from her biological parents.
She wanted to sow discord by portraying Lin Muyan as a troubled woman who was unruly at home and had a terrible temper.
However, the truth is that Lin Xiao has eyes and can judge for himself. Shen Jiaojiao's behavior of talking badly about others behind their backs is utterly despicable.
In the end, she even impatiently revealed her true purpose: she hoped that Lin Xiao would break with Lin Muyan, thus opening the door for the Shen family to reclaim the mansion.
Lin Xiao had completely blocked Shen Jiaojiao a few days ago. He would remember all the slanderous things she said for his sister, and if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely teach Shen Jiaojiao a lesson and make her pay the price.
As for those unpleasant slanderous words, they're all false anyway, so there's no need to show them to my sister. That would only spoil her good mood.
Lin Muyan was the only one left on the entire third basement level. She found a chair, sat down, and picked out a few snacks from the white space, intending to eat them while watching Shen Jiaojiao and the others.
The car traveled for a while, and none of the four people inside spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.
As they neared their destination, Shen Jiaojiao finally couldn't help but speak:
Where should we go first?
Wang Qiang sneered: "Of course we'll stock up on food first. Shen Jiaojiao, I've discovered you're actually quite stupid. I used to think you were pretty shrewd, not a complete idiot."
Wang Qiang made no attempt to hide his disgust for Shen Jiaojiao, and Shen Shiqiu immediately glared at him angrily upon hearing this.
"Watch your mouth! Otherwise..."
Wang Qiang snorted coldly, clenched his fist, making a cracking sound, while Shen Shiqiu looked very confident, glanced at Rong Muchen who was driving, and then said some harsh words to Wang Qiang.
"You better behave yourself. Don't think we're afraid of you. Three of us against one of you, do you think you'll come out on top?"
Unexpectedly, no sooner had Shen Shiqiu finished speaking than Rong Muchen spoke up to state his position.
"Uncle Chen, we're all out here looking for supplies, and we're supposed to be working together. Let's not ruin our relationship."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shiqiu's expression changed, and he immediately understood Rong Muchen's meaning: he did not intend to get involved in this mess.
Shen Jiaojiao, standing to the side, also gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her expression unreadable.
Lin Muyan watched with great interest through the screen, and ate with gusto.
He used to be Uncle Shen, now he's Uncle Shen; he knows how to kick someone when they've served their purpose.
I'm truly speechless at this kind of man. I never realized he could be so swayed.
[Yes, but it's understandable. Even Shen Jiaojiao is like this, so it's no surprise that Rong Muchen, the original male lead, has revealed his true nature.]
Shen Shiqiu had a good plan. He believed that if he, Rong Muchen, and Shen Jiaojiao, who might be of some use, joined forces, the three of them could definitely take down Wang Qiang. Then, Wang Qiang's mother and the other two old men remaining in the Shen family would be no threat.
[Who would have thought that Rong Muchen was an extreme egoist, and probably a bit of a coward too, completely unreliable.]
The four people, each with their own agendas, entered the commercial area and headed straight for the supermarket.
Shen Shiqiu wanted to pull Shen Jiaojiao along, but Rong Muchen beat him to it.
As Shen Shiqiu watched his daughter leave with Rong Muchen, he clenched his fists, his eyes filled with malice, lost in thought.
The four people split into three groups and left. Just then, the large screen automatically split, and the perspectives of the three parties appeared simultaneously.
Lin Muyan couldn't help but clap her hands in praise, saying that the green-headed fly seemed to have thoughts of its own, and was so considerate.
She kept her eyes fixed on Shen Jiaojiao when she saw Rong Muchen practically drag her to the grain, oil, and seasoning section. After confirming that Shen Shiqiu hadn't followed, he was about to speak when Shen Jiaojiao gave him a cold glare.
"Brother Mu Chen, why don't you help us? Wang Qiang is alone. If you join forces with us, we can take him down."
Rong Muchen frowned, feeling a chill run down his spine at the thought of Wang Qiang's ruthlessness, and made an excuse:
“These are special times. More people mean more help. Before your space is upgraded, you can’t recruit any capable people to be your teammates. It’s better to keep him for now, so that we’ll have more help when we go out to search for supplies in the future.”
Shen Jiaojiao frowned. She knew that Wang Qiang could not be allowed to stay, and that Wang Qiang knew about her past behavior in the Lin family.
Lin Jianbin and Wang Yanqin, those two useless adoptive parents, are just too nice people. They definitely won't reveal her secrets. Lin Xiaonuan is just a little kid, so there's no need to pay attention to her. Lin Xiao won't expose her shortcomings either.
Killing Wang Qiang would be to her advantage.
If Rong Muchen doesn't help, she and her father alone might not be a match for Wang Qiang.
While listening to their conversation for a while, Lin Muyan glanced at her phone and saw a message from Fu Sinian.
I received a message that zombies have appeared in the northern district. They are not direct mutations of living people, but rather a batch of corpses in the morgue of the district hospital that had not been dealt with in time and have turned into zombies!
