Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 106

"Since the person is here, we’ll head back."

Shen Zhigui didn’t respond to Zheng Wen’an’s apology. He said something to Song Chengjun and turned to head back to his tent.

"I’m heading back. Captain Song, be careful."

Although Jin Churan said "you all," his gaze was fixed solely on Song Chengjun.

Evidently, he didn’t like Zheng Wen’an either.

After all, anyone would be displeased with someone eyeing their sister.

Compared to Huo Jun, Jin Churan liked Zheng Wen’an even less.

At least Huo Jun had abilities on par with his sister as a Dark Ability User; Zheng Wen’an didn’t even come close.

Seeing the two of them completely ignore him, Zheng Wen’an’s expression turned sour but he could only force a smile for the sake of his image.

Song Chengjun noticed Zheng Wen’an’s expression, silently resolving that he wouldn’t involve him in such matters in the future.

Zheng Wen’an was unaware that he had just landed himself on Song Chengjun’s blacklist.

Even though Song Chengjun seemed somewhat like a pushover, there was no denying his influence at the B City Base.

In fact, due to his role interacting with the base’s residents as part of the patrol, he held a higher standing in their hearts than B City Base leader Lu Zhengyao.

After all, the base leader might not be seen once a year, while Song Chengjun was always around to aid them.

"You guard this side, and I’ll watch over here. Report any issues immediately."

Song Chengjun truly feared that Zheng Wen’an might slack off on night duty, leading to unforeseeable problems.

"Alright, I’ll definitely take the night watch seriously."

Zheng Wen’an understood his current unpopularity, so for now, he decided to stay vigilant in his night watch.

Although Song Chengjun wasn’t entirely trusting, there was nothing else to be done. After cautioning Zheng Wen’an multiple times, he went to his own post to keep watch.

In a world without electricity, the night was as dark as it could be. But under the moonlight, some things were still faintly visible.

For fear of attacks from zombies or nearby residents, Song Chengjun dared not relax his vigilance for a moment.

At first, Zheng Wen’an took his responsibility very seriously but as time wore on, his eyelids started drooping.

Moreover, when nothing happened for a long while, Zheng Wen’an inevitably relaxed and eventually sat by the door, leaning against the wall and falling asleep.

But with Song Chengjun’s back turned to him, seeing Zheng Wen’an’s prior diligence led him to believe he had changed his ways, so he didn’t check on Zheng Wen’an’s status as frequently afterward.

After all, he couldn’t afford to divide his attention too much, or it would be too exhausting.

On this moonless, windy night, as Zheng Wen’an slept soundly, someone silently crept through the window into the house.

With Zheng Wen’an asleep, no signal was sent to alert Song Chengjun.

Sitting at the door with his back to the living room, Song Chengjun didn’t notice an intruder had crept inside.

It was Jiang Yue’s little tiger that stirred in Jiang Yue’s arms when someone slipped in, letting out a couple of "woof woof" sounds.

The intruder’s eyes brightened upon hearing the little tiger, thinking its presence meant meat would be available for days.

The intruder carefully listened, noting the "woof woof" sound emanating from the tent in the far corner.

Yet, upon seeing the tent surrounded by others, he hesitated.

Chu Jiangyue, being a light sleeper, awoke with the tiger’s nudging.

"Host, host! Someone snuck in! Zheng Wen’an is asleep, he didn’t even realize someone entered."

As Jiang Yue awakened, the Little Fox started chattering away about the situation.

Hearing the Little Fox’s report, Jiang Yue’s face darkened.

Zheng Wen’an again! Couldn’t he stay out of trouble for just one moment? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"I understand. I’ll handle it."

Jiang Yue touched the Little Vine on her wrist, and it shook its leaves, quietly extending the vine around the tent’s base.

At the same time, Jiang Yue soothed the little tiger, quickly opened the tent, and used the vine whip to strike at the intruder.

By then, the Little Vine had reached the intruder’s feet and quickly bound their ankles upon sensing Jiang Yue beginning her attack.

When Jiang Yue opened the tent, Song Chengjun turned around just in time to see Jiang Yue whipping at someone.

No matter what the situation was, Song Chengjun quickly activated his superpower and launched several Ice Cones at the intruder.

With all the commotion, many sleeping individuals woke up, and upon seeing Jiang Yue and Song Chengjun attacking someone, they quickly came out of their tents to join the fight.

Shen Zhigui flung a bolt of lightning with a "boom", instantly turning the trespasser into a pile of charred remains.

After dealing with the intruder, everyone started asking about the situation.

"What happened? How did someone sneak in?"

"I stayed vigilant and didn’t notice anyone entering."

Song Chengjun explained his side of the situation.

He had maintained his watch, and if anyone approached from his direction, he would have noticed.

"Where’s Zheng Wen’an?"

When Jiang Yue brought up Zheng Wen’an, everyone remembered he was also on night watch with Song Chengjun.

With all the noise just now, Zheng Wen’an couldn’t possibly have slept through it all, could he?

"I’ll go check!"

Realizing that their negligence on night watch had caused the danger, Song Chengjun’s expression darkened.

When they found Zheng Wen’an snoring away, leaning against the wall by the window, Song Chengjun’s anger finally erupted.

"Zheng Wen’an! Get up, damn it!"

Song Chengjun shouted as he kicked Zheng Wen’an awake.

Usually non-confrontational, Song Chengjun no longer cared about such restraints.

Forget about maintaining a soldier’s image or not touching civilians, he couldn’t care less.

Due to his negligence, an unforeseeable consequence was nearly brought about. Song Chengjun was tempted to beat Zheng Wen’an into next week.

Zheng Wen’an slowly awoke, finally roused by Song Chengjun’s kick.

"Captain Song? Why are you here? I—"

Finally realizing he fell asleep and got caught, Zheng Wen’an responded.

"I’m sorry. I rarely stay up late and accidentally fell asleep. I won’t let it happen again."

"Your apologies come smoothly, but did you even know someone had already infiltrated? If it weren’t for Boss Chu’s alertness, who knows what could have happened!

This is how you ’keep watch seriously’? Zheng Wen’an, if you didn’t want to join, you shouldn’t have volunteered. Now you’ve become a constant nuisance. I don’t have the patience to keep cleaning up after you!"

After all, he’s not his parent, so why should he tolerate his mistakes?
