Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 38 - Online Qamp;A

Although the Alien Species wasn’t adept at digging, there were some mutant beasts, like mutated rats, that were very efficient at burrowing. And the Alien Species typically transformed human structures to fit their needs. By the later stages of the apocalyptic world, the various sewers in the city had almost all been occupied by the Alien Species.

Han Jiaojiao didn’t believe that the Alien Species would nest directly in the villa on the mountain top.

They preferred moist places. Compared to the mountain top, the base of the mountain, which was close to the riverbed, would be more appealing to them.

Moreover… though the semi-mountain villas were designed with very large areas, they were still too small for the Alien Species…

At the foot of the mountain, there were riverbeds, reservoirs, golf courses, equestrian clubs, and various small and large village residences and farmhouse courtyards. Which would they choose?

In the hazy night, after wandering around the yard twice, Han Jiaojiao sat down in front of the tent to rest.

From a distance, eerie howls and screeches occasionally transmitted from the woods, echoing through the mountains and resonating with an eerie aftertaste, chilling one to the bone.

This mountain originally had no beasts of prey; otherwise, developers wouldn’t have built villas here. However, whether the once docile animals would remain docile after mutation was an unknown puzzle. The animals howling at this moment might have once been a deer, or perhaps a badger—who knew…

Han Jiaojiao sat motionless in the darkness. Even though she knew tonight was likely to be very calm, she still remained highly vigilant, her gun never leaving her hand even while resting.

She didn’t feel tired. Keeping watch was something she had grown accustomed to in her previous life because she didn’t trust anyone else after losing her brother.

At that moment, Yan Xiao walked out of the house. He wore his usual T-shirt on top, but sported a pair of bear pajama pants on the bottom, which looked quite comical.

Han Jiaojiao looked down at her watch, “It’s not even one o’clock yet.”

Stretching his arms, Yan Xiao said relaxedly, “It’s fine, I couldn’t sleep anyway, so I came over early.”

As if by telepathy, Han Jiaojiao looked up at the second-floor window.

In the darkness of the night, nothing but pitch-black could be seen beyond the window, yet her intuition told her that her brother was standing there, watching her.

Had her brother been waiting for her all this time?

Han Jiaojiao felt a sweet warmth in her heart, but she was also a bit worried; she hoped more than anything that her brother would get some good sleep.

Han Jiaojiao put down her gun and after greeting Yan Xiao, she returned to her room. She tiptoed to her brother’s door, just about to open it and confirm her intuition, when the door simultaneously swung open, and Han Yi stood there, his eyebrows slightly raised, smiling at her.

Han Jiaojiao couldn’t help but feel her heart race, a touch embarrassed. “Brother, why haven’t you gone to sleep…?”

“Jiaojiao isn’t here, brother can’t sleep,” his voice was low and light.

Han Jiaojiao blushed.

Han Yi chuckled softly and pulled her into the room.

“Let’s sleep.”

…

The night passed without incident, and dawn arrived as expected. Before seven o’clock, the sky was already bright.

Kerry had the last watch; he stayed up until seven, and seeing that it was already bright, he went to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast. The bread was all eaten, but the freezer was stocked with various types of convenience food. Seeing the ample food supply, Kerry once again commended himself for his past cleverness. He then ripped open two bags of frozen large meat buns and started steaming them.

Han Yi and Han Jiaojiao came downstairs early, followed by Yan Xiao and Xiao Jian. Around nine o’clock, Lu Changyuan also came downstairs.

In the living room, the television was broadcasting the morning news of that day.

However, the news was obviously not live but recorded overnight. The anchor repeatedly emphasized in the news to ask residents to stay at home and not go out. The television started broadcasting some footage of Alien Species attacking people, followed by the anchor interviewing armed police officers and researchers over the phone. The thirty-minute news segment didn’t offer much valuable information, merely continuously stressing that Qingjiang City was under full martial law, no one was allowed to go out, and the armed police forces and all police officers were doing their utmost to clear the city of Alien Species.

Yan Xiao, holding the remote control, switched through a few channels. Most had no signal, and those with a signal were also repeatedly broadcasting the morning news.

Xiao Jian, connected to the internet on his phone, said, “The network signal is fine.”

Lu Changyuan tilted his head and said, “The network signal won’t be a problem in the short term, and even the power supply system can continue to provide power for about one to two months without any human intervention.”

Kerry asked curiously, “Is there any news online?” His own phone had been lost when the incident occurred.

Xiao Jian briefly browsed the internet and frowned, “It’s a mess.”

Hearing this, Han Jiaojiao suddenly remembered that during the first few days after she came back home from the hospital, she had anonymously posted on a forum with a huge traffic volume. The Alien Species had not appeared yet, but the plague had already started to spread. She knew that posting any apocalyptic predictions might get deleted by the forum moderators, so she only listed some self-help measures in the post, such as how to ascertain if drinking water was clean, basic measures to avoid infection, some simple exercises for physical training, and even how to use everyday tools to reinforce one’s home, and so forth.

Since the post was made after the meteor strikes, the netizens’ sense of crisis was very strong, and because Han Jiaojiao’s post was specifically aimed at various dangerous situations, it was quickly pinned by the moderators and many people left messages below seeking help.

But all this Han Jiaojiao did not know. After posting, she had been busy training her physical strength, focusing on how to stock up on supplies, completely unaware that her post had gone viral.
