Chapter 54 Doubt And Weird Things
"Where will we put the supplies to?" Mingque Shui asked carrying a box of can goods.
"Uhm... Hexi lead them to the second storage room." Hua Meili ordered Du Hexi.
Hua Meili almost forgot about where to store the food Jin Hua found because of slacking off too much.
Luckily, she had already prepared the second storage room in advance before they arrived.
If you did not forget, before the Apocalypse started, Hua Meili had been on a crazy buying food spree.
She made use of everything she had on hand stocking food piles inside her space and inventory that could last her a few years.
Not only in her space, but she also put food inside their mansion's storage room.
The storage room was so big, big enough to store the 1000 sacks of rice, boxes of canned goods, refrigerated meats and etc.
With no space left to place things, she decided to rename a room in the mansion turning it from a "spare room" to "food storage".
The second food storage immediately took form.
Though it took after the first food storage's name, it was half smaller than the original food storage room since it was just a spare room turned into a storage room.
"Second food storage? Is there a storage room like that in the mansion?" Jin Hua asked doubtfully.
He could not recall a memory where there was a second food storage room in their mansion.
If his memory serves him right, there is only one storage room in the mansion.
Seeing his face full of doubt, Hua Meili quickly cut his thoughts with a yell.
"Yes, there is!"
"I never remember having one though."
"It's because it was newly made so you don't know about it." Hua Meili quickly replied.
"Why did you make a new one? What happened to the old one?"
"Well, let's just say it could not store food anymore. Let's not talk about it anymore. Why don't we just quickly store the supplies? It's almost lunch. I bet everyone is hungry."
Hua Meili quickly changed the subject not wanting Jin Hua to delve deeper into the subject.
If she gets any more suspicious, he would like to guess that there is something wrong.
Even if he guesses it correctly and knows the truth, it won't hurt her but it will ruin her plan.
She must not yet reveal her secret before unmasking the others.
Seeing the plentiful amount of food supplies in the storage room would only make her enemy more guarded towards her and it would only make it harder for her to strike.
"You bet!!" Everyone cheered.
"Yum~"
"After satisfying work, satisfying food is perfect!"
Yu Diqiu and Yu Feng rub their bulging tummies in satisfaction melting on their chair.
"I could agree no more!" Gao Hou agreed.
A satisfied smile lace his lips.
He burped.
"....." Lian Pian.
Hua Meili looked at Lian Pian from the corner of her eyes.
She had long noticed her daze look and silence for a while now.
She seemed bothered and out of it like there is something on her mind.
'Why is she so quiet nowadays.'
Though Hua Meili could not wait to throw her out the door, she was still worried about why she was quiet.
She was not worried because she cares but because Lian Pian might be up for something.
Seeing her in deep thought, she might be reminiscing something or planning something. She can't really tell.
But one thing is for sure, if she does anything out of line, she will draw a bloody line on her face!
"So, what happened in your little adventure, Jin."
After some time of calling him Jin ge, Gege, and Dage, Hua Meili finally got tired of calling him like the obedient little sister she was supposed to be.
Not sparing a thought more, she directly called him Jin.
Being called directly by his name, he froze.
It was a first for him, being called directly by his given name by his sister.
It felt uncomfortable but at the same time brought him some sort of satisfaction that he could not name.
As an older brother, he was supposed to get angry being called by his own sister by his name but he was quite happy instead.
Erasing the absurd thought in his head, Jin Hua quickly calms himself down.
Seeing his reaction to the way she was addressing him, she could clearly see that he is not used to her calling him by the name directly.
Thinking about it, the original Hua Meili never called Jin Hua by his name.
Calling an older brother by their name is somewhat disrespectful in their country so one must always address one another formally and respectfully.
But who is she?
Is she someone who cares about being disrespectful or not?
She is a transmigrator, a book wearer, and a trickster!
She had no face at all and does whatever she wanted.
Since she had already deemed it boring and tiring calling him by three different brotherly names and all, she just decided to call his name directly.
Straight out and precisely!
It's also one of her dreams to call the name of one of her favorite novel characters in reality but sadly she was living in the real world the last time she checked her schedule in the real world.
But now, she had already transmigrated into the book and had the ability to do whatever she wanted.
And calling out the name of her favorite character is the first step to fulfilling her lifelong dreams and delusions.
"Well, the first day we went to search for supplies we didn't find any in the stores and markets. It was all emptied out of all the supplies. I guess that this is the work of some base or military people."
Jin Hua eagerly told Hua Meili his tale.
"Then, we decided to go further deep into the city to search. On the second day, we went to Rehado. We thought that we will find something there but the store and malls were also emptied out. We were about to give up when we suddenly heard gunshots somewhere. Wave after wave of Mutants came after. We hid in the nearest mansion and there we saw the supplies. The end."
"But you know what is weird, Mei?" Gao Hou suddenly said.
"What is?"
"We saw hundreds of Mutants in that wave but when we got out, there was not even a corpse left from those Mutants. It was as if they vanish in thin air."
Gao Hou made a creepy sound as if he was retelling a horror story.
"Isn't it weird?"
"Weird." Mingque Shui said.
"Super Weird!" Yu Diqiu agreed.
"Definitely weird!!" Yu Feng also voted.
Even Jin Hua who did not say anything also nod his head in agreement.
"Sure. It's really weird."
Hua Meili averted her eyes from the group knowing that the source of the "weird" things that happened to the Mutants was herself.
'Me, myself and I.'
