Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 200 - : Seriously Ill, Aren’t You?
Chapter 200: Chapter 200: Seriously Ill, Aren’t You?
“Hua Bao, come back and keep watch in the front yard.”
Jiang Yan saw through the thermal imager that Ye Qing and Sun Jingtao were surrounded by several people, so she quickly called Hua Bao back.
They had just arrived and didn’t want to cause any trouble.
But if trouble came knocking on their door, they weren’t afraid to confront it.
They say it’s easier to meet King Yan than to deal with his little devils. If tonight’s situation wasn’t handled properly, it would spell endless trouble for them.
Moreover, if the man leading the group was Scar-faced, the one from the Shallow Bay District who colluded with the enemy, then these people definitely couldn’t be spared!
In just three to five seconds, Jiang Yan had made up her mind.
She took out a handgun equipped with a suppressor and put on a bulletproof vest; after re-adjusting her night vision goggles and face mask, she quietly descended the stairs.
The living room on the first floor was pitch-black.
However, for Jiang Yan, who had been wearing night vision glasses and was accustomed to the dark environment, there was no haze in the house, making it much easier to see clearly.
She caught a glimpse of Su Dai, tense and crouched at the door to the living room.
Su Dai had not stayed in the bedroom as Sun Jingtao had told her to.
She, too, wore the night vision goggles Jiang Yan had given her, holding in her hands the submachine gun left behind by Sun Jingtao, a worried expression on her face as she peered through the crack in the door.
These past few days, Sun Jingtao had taught her how to use a gun from time to time.
But that was about it — the training was limited to preventing misfires.
Accuracy was another matter.
Jiang Yan’s footsteps were light as she descended, but Su Dai still sensed her presence.
Although Su Dai had guessed who it might be, she still involuntarily shivered and quickly turned her head, silently mouthing the words: Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan put her index finger to her lips and made a “shh” gesture.
Su Dai nodded, understanding.
Jiang Yan tiptoed to the door of the living room, and Su Dai moved aside to give her space at the crack. She then poked Jiang Yan’s arm gently and handed her the submachine gun.
The gesture meant that the submachine gun was more powerful than the handgun Jiang Yan was holding.
Jiang Yan shook her head, declining with a smile.
The bullets for the weapons that Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing carried were limited — use one less one.
She had plenty in her “Space,” but lacked a good reason to take them out.
Plus, her own handgun came with an unlimited supply of ammunition.
Thinking this way, Jiang Yan moved her face closer to the crack in the door.
Outside, the tense atmosphere continued.
Those following behind Scar-faced seemed to completely ignore his orders, their gun barrels still aimed at Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing.
This puzzled Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing while at the same time maxing out their vigilance.
“Put down your guns, or I won’t be polite to him!” Ye Qing said coldly, pressing her dagger a few millimeters closer to Scar-faced’s neck.
The cold metal piercing his flesh made Scar-faced’s brow twitch violently.
“Put them down! Are you not listening to me anymore?!” The Scar-faced who just a second ago was arrogant and ready to avenge his past humiliation suddenly panicked.
Watching silently from behind the door, Jiang Yan slightly furrowed her brow.
It seemed that capturing the king first didn’t always work.
Just a moment ago, these people were obeying Scar-faced without question, and now they were turning against him.
Strange.
Very strange.
Ye Qing and Sun Jingtao quickly scanned the people with the corners of their eyes — they remained motionless, like Death Soldiers.
Jiang Yan silently observed the scene outside, but her thoughts raced.

It was curfew at night.
Judging by the situation of the other party, they clearly didn’t belong to the warriors in charge of patrolling the base.
They were probably just a temporary team with a pass.
If things continued at a stalemate and the regular army was drawn here, they didn’t know if that would be good or bad for them.
If it were before the apocalypse, it would definitely be good, and the regular army’s help would be sought after.
But now, with the complex factions within the base and control of the regular army not in her hands, they could all just be birds of a feather.
Trusting their lives solely to a military team that had lost control was clearly unwise.
It seemed they had to initiate Plan B now.
Just then, in the group outside holding guns, a seemingly inconspicuous man with an armband suddenly spoke up:
“Meng Daxiao, you haven’t forgotten Dr. Xue’s regulations on the security team’s AB posts, have you?”
After speaking, he gave a look to a subordinate beside him.
The subordinate jogged to the door, peered out symbolically from left to right a few times, and then slammed the door shut with a clang.
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow.
She had also been prepared to let Hua Bao shut the door when the time was right, to then catch the enemy in a death trap.
Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to do this.
“I remember, of course I remember!” Scar-faced saw the door shut and his eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly reverted to his usual demeanor.
Seeing that the door was securely closed, the man with the armband stated formally,
“So don’t blame the brothers for making this choice. According to Dr. Xue’s regulations, now that post A is in life-threatening danger, the management of the squad falls to me as post B. Everyone clear on that?!”
The crowd responded in unison: “Clear!”
Jiang Yan thought to herself, What’s this—a promotion ceremony? They must be seriously ill!
“Liu Xi, you’re deliberately kicking a man while he’s down, aren’t you?!” Scar-faced retorted, his face changing drastically as he pieced things together.
Anger welled up in his eyes and he looked more bloodshot than ever, “Why aren’t you going inside to hunt for the Mutated Rats, but instead are busy grabbing power here?!”
Sun Jingtao & Ye Qing, who had been on high alert but suddenly found themselves spectators of a dramatic scene: Dr. Xue?
Another Xue?!
And, Mutated Rats?
Where?
The pair glanced around in surprise.
They didn’t see any sign of the so-called animals.
Su Dai inside the house was also startled and looked at Jiang Yan, only to see that the latter remained unfazed. Su Dai had to pinch her fingers to calm herself down.
“Ha! What’s the point in searching? I’ve set up the plot for you!
You stubbornly led us into a mistake in leadership, intentionally scaring the Mutated Rat to a deserted area, and then due to your stupid leadership, you lost the pregnant Mutated Rat of Dr. Xue!
In the end, you were too afraid to face the doctor and chose to kill yourself. Then we would bring you back to claim credit, to serve Dr. Xue as a living fertilizer. Wouldn’t that be nice?” Liu Xi’s eyes glinted with malice.
“No, no, Liu Xi, are you stupid? Talking about these things in front of others?!”
Scar-faced was so angry he could hardly stand it, and with the face mask, he felt his breathing was becoming difficult.
“And all you other brothers, by aiding and abetting, aren’t you afraid of Young Master Xue’s repercussions?! I’m Young Master Xue’s man!
As for that Dr. Xue, she’s nothing but a worthless woman who once licked Young Master Xue’s toes!!” Scar-faced continued with a fierce glare, grinding his teeth.
