Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 61 - Preparing to Leave

After dinner, everyone, as usual, gathered in front of the living room’s couch to discuss the day’s gains. It had been a fruitful day, as the military had killed a number of Alien Species after they left yesterday. Today, Kerry found more than a dozen Crystal Cores in that area, overjoyed, then they went to the two buildings that Han Yi had initially targeted. The Alien Species cowered in the narrow alley between the buildings avoiding sunlight, utterly unable to fight back, letting them easily gather nine Crystal Cores, making a total of twenty-five Crystal Cores.

The Crystal Cores varied in size, the biggest as large as a thumb, the smallest only as big as a fingernail. Han Yi took three of the larger ones, the rest were divided into three parts, one portion reserved for Xiao Jian. Once Xiao Jian recovered, he would need them.

While dividing the Crystal Cores, Han Jiaojiao secretly observed everyone’s expressions, seeing that Yan Xiao and Kerry did not show any displeasure, she felt very happy, thinking even more that the people her brother had befriended were really good.

Han Jiaojiao took the opportunity to mention the issue of the private base to them.

After hearing this, Lu Changyuan said, “I had thought of this before, but never brought it up. It’s so chaotic now, certain places definitely have poor communication, and not everyone might be willing to go to the base, with many inclined to stake out their territories. Especially those originally well-off, with sufficient confidence, even less willing to live under someone else’s gaze.”

Han Yi was silent for a moment, then said, “Since that’s the case, after Xiao Jian recovers, we’ll make a trip to the warehouse first and retrieve the goods.”

“Yes. If they built a base nearby, they would definitely send people to scout around, and our warehouse location, although hidden, can only ensure short-term safety,” Lu Changyuan highly agreed with Han Yi’s decision. Previously, keeping supplies in the warehouse was out of necessity, as the volume of supplies Han Yi asked him to procure was huge, transportation was time-consuming and very conspicuous, but now it was different, with Han Yi’s space for storing items, many things had become simpler.

Thinking this, Lu Changyuan then said, “Let’s start packing these few days, and once Xiao Jian recovers, we can head straight there.”

Upon hearing they were leaving, Kerry became slightly panicked. He quite liked it here where food and accommodations were good, “Where are we going to?”

Han Jiaojiao did not know the location of the warehouse and looked blankly at everyone else.

“Wusu Province,” Yan Xiao said, “It’s quite far from here; even if we drive non-stop, it will take about twenty-two hours, and that’s with good road conditions.”

Kerry started flipping through maps; he had been to many places, but had never heard of this place.

Han Yi spoke, “Safety first; we definitely can’t drive at night, too dangerous. We’ll take turns driving during the day, three days should be enough.”

Han Yi had made his decision to leave, and Lu Changyuan was studying a map for the route, not forgetting to order Yan Xiao and Kerry to pack up the luggage.

Han Jiaojiao returned to her own room and began to pack as well.

This departure was indefinite, and some personal items were better taken along. No one knew what would happen to the villa in the future; it could become a lair for wild beasts, be raided by people from the base, or be taken over by strangers. Thinking this, Han Jiaojiao wished she could even take down the curtains to prevent others from benefiting from them.

While she was busily packing, Han Yi pushed open the door, walked up behind her, and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“What are these?” he asked, his chin resting on the top of her head.

“Photo albums, with my pictures and mom’s. Hmm… and mom’s movie DVDs, posters, and these jewelry pieces that I’m also taking.” There were many things, all jumbled together, with piles of books beside them — mostly comics and art books she used to love. Although she didn’t read them anymore, they were precious memories she couldn’t bear to throw away.

Han Yi kissed her cheek gently, his voice tender, “Put them back, we can take the furniture with us when we go.”

Oh right! How could she have forgotten about that! There was no need to go through the trouble of packing and boxing things up; she could simply put them back in the cabinet and take everything together in the space later.

“Just take down the pictures on the walls,” said Han Yi, glancing at the many photos of her sister hanging on the walls.

“Have you packed everything, brother?” Han Jiaojiao turned around and circled his waist with her hands, just like he had done.

Han Yi didn’t answer her but bowed his head and tenderly nibbled her neck, eliciting a soft moan from her.

Han Yi chuckled, “So sensitive, wanting it again?”

“Nonsense,” Han Jiaojiao huffed, glaring at him and pinching hard at his waist.

Han Yi chuckled lightly, stopped teasing her, kissed her cheek once more, and then left the room.

Lu Changyuan, with the map in hand, swayed his way to the third floor. Seeing Han Yi standing still at the door of Han Jiaojiao’s room, Lu Changyuan asked, “What’s wrong?”

Han Yi was enveloped in gloom, his expression frighteningly dark. He slightly raised his head, his eyes rimmed with redness, shocking Lu Changyuan, who stared at Han Yi, dumbfounded, thinking, Holy shit! Are you crying? Are you crying? Are you crying?

“It’s nothing.” Han Yi’s voice was as cold and clear as usual, and after speaking, he turned and went to his own room.

Lu Changyuan stood there for a while before slowly making his way to the third floor.

Han Yi couldn’t tell Lu Changyuan.

…His current anger and heartache, he couldn’t tell anyone. He couldn’t say how he spied on her dreams every night, he couldn’t tell that he suspected her changes were connected to those dreams, he couldn’t say anything. Even he himself couldn’t accept that audacious guess! Even if it were just a hypothesis, it tormented him like a knife twisting in his heart!

If those aspects of the dreams were also a part of foresight… If the suffering she endured were to truly happen…

He truly wished he could— pulverize them into dust right now!!
