Chapter 104: Chapter 83: I Won’t Move, I Won’t Move, You Can Do It Yourselves

Confronted by Weiwu, the giant frog, Granny Jia immediately determined that she had to outsmart it!

"Shen Family! You’re breaking the rules! I’m going to have you kicked out of the villa district!"

"Our community doesn’t need bad apples like you!"

"You just wait!!!"

Unsure what abilities Shen Yue’s frog possessed, Granny Jia put on a brave front, shouting a few more threats before turning and leaving with the group of old men and women behind her.

"Sweetie~, we’re not eating that. Ice pops are too cold. They’ll give you diarrhea!"

"We’re not eating it!"

I hope that little bitch gets diarrhea and dies!

Granny Jia comforted her crying grandson as she picked him up and walked away.

"No!"

"No!!"

"No!!!"

"I want to eat it!"

"I want to eat it!!!"

Back in Granny Jia’s arms, the little grandson who had been scared stiff by the frog was acting up again. He thrashed about in her arms, kicking his legs wildly...

"This..."

Still half-asleep and groggy, Shen Fei hadn’t expected such a farce to be playing out right on his doorstep. It was a bunch of old hags, stirring up trouble for no reason in the monster-free safe zone he had cleared out. Still grumpy from being woken up, he watched for less than thirty seconds before the group of old women was scared off by the giant frog his sister, Shen Yue, had summoned...

.

"I’m so furious!!"

"I’m so furious!!"

Two minutes later, Mrs. Shen returned to the villa’s living room. Shen Yue was grinning as she massaged her mother’s shoulders, while the scowling Mrs. Shen was huffing and puffing.

Yesterday, when she went to help out in the community, she’d been cornered and verbally harassed by Granny Jia and her cronies, which had left her feeling very annoyed. Mrs. Shen never expected that today, this same group would corner her at her own front door. This insult, coming from a woman of her own age, sent Mrs. Shen into a towering rage.

"Shen Fei!!!! Get over here!!!"

Seeing her son come downstairs with a grin and a serious case of bedhead, the exasperated Mrs. Shen let out a furious roar.

"You tell me!!!"

"How the hell do I control this ability of mine!!!!"

"Can I inherit a stronger one?!"

"Can I inherit an ability that will shut that shrew up instantly?!"

"Stop smiling!!"

"Tell me, now!!!!"

Mrs. Shen was at her wits’ end. She had inherited two skills, both related to controlling plant growth. After she lost control last night and made a potted pothos vine overrun the entire house, Shen Fei had taught her how to control her powers and told her not to use them for the time being.

Now, after being cornered and cursed out at her own front door by Granny Jia, Mrs. Shen couldn’t take it anymore... She couldn’t stand being humiliated like that. Before the apocalypse, she wouldn’t have given someone like Granny Jia the time of day. Mrs. Shen never thought that after the apocalypse, she’d be letting someone like that walk all over her...

"Alright, alright, you should rest. Just rest. I’ll handle it!"

Seeing his mother’s state, Shen Fei quickly went to comfort her.

People like Granny Jia definitely need to be cleared out of the villa district. If these people living in the 5km safe zone I created would just behave themselves and not cause trouble, I wouldn’t have a problem with them mooching off the safety I’ve provided. But if they insist on stirring up trouble, then of course I’m not going to be nice about it.

"You get some rest. Shen Yue, come over here. Tell me what happened!"

After calming his mother down, Shen Fei waved for Shen Yue to follow him to the second floor...

"What???"

Three seconds later, Shen Fei was dumbfounded. "What did you just say?"

What Shen Yue said made Shen Fei both want to explode with anger and laugh at the same time.

"It’s true! Granny Jia and her gang couldn’t get through the fog, so they brought a bucket of poop and started flinging it around our front door!"

"And they were shouting things like, ’I know you’re in there, come out if you’ve got the guts!’"

"Mom was going to just hide and wait it out, but she got so mad she went out to confront them!"

Looking at her brother, Shen Yue grimaced and pinched her nose as she spoke.

"What the hell! People actually do that?"

Did the Detection Tower not send an alert because the damage wasn’t significant? The damage might be minimal, but the humiliation is off the charts!

Shen Fei hadn’t seen the scene of Granny Jia flinging feces everywhere, and his Detection Tower hadn’t reported it.

"I’ll handle this!"

Hearing what his sister said, Shen Fei was about to go deal with Granny Jia and her group immediately. It was one thing to be malicious, but flinging poop all over the place was just too disgusting... Shen Fei couldn’t imagine when or how that bunch of old hags had even gotten their hands on a bucket of poop... It was so damn disgusting!

"Wait!!"

"I have something else!!!"

"You have to help me!!!"

Just as he was about to go deal with the troublemaking Granny Jia, his sister suddenly grabbed his hand.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Fei asked, puzzled.

Yesterday, his sister had begged him to go with her to her school, and he had sent Yu instead. He didn’t expect her to have another issue today.

"This is a big deal!"

"A really big deal!!"

"My best friend is missing!"

"After I went with her from school yesterday, she went home. We were even chatting last night, but this morning, I lost contact with her!" Shen Yue said quickly, clutching her brother’s hand.

"Lost contact?"

"Yes!"

"There’s just no word from her. I called, I sent messages, I even had a classmate who lives nearby go check on her, and the classmate said her front door was wide open and no one was there!"

Shen Yue was extremely worried about her only best friend. She had gone to the school yesterday specifically for her. But when she had tried to get her friend to come live with them, her friend was too shy to meet her brother and didn’t agree. Shen Yue never imagined her best friend would actually go missing. This was unacceptable to Shen Yue. Outside of her family, her best friend was the most important person to her.

"Did she inherit an ability?"

Shen Fei had met his sister’s best friend, Xiaohong, a few times. In his memory, she was a shy, top student who wore black-rimmed glasses and always kept her head down. She and his sister were very close. It seemed the whole reason his sister insisted on going to school yesterday was for this friend.

"She did! She did! She inherited an ability!" Shen Yue quickly answered her brother’s question.

"What kind of ability?"

"Umm..."

"What’s wrong??" Seeing his sister hesitate, Shen Fei pressed her curiously.

"She just did, that’s all!!!"

"She’s missing now!"

"The important thing is to find her!! Why are you asking about her ability?!"

Under her brother’s gaze, Shen Yue stomped her foot in frustration.

I want my best friend to be my sister-in-law, so the first impression is really important. Her ability... I don’t want to talk about it right now...

"You have to tell me what ability she inherited so I can determine if she’s missing or if she disappeared on her own!"

"Some players who inherit evil classes, bloodlines, skills, or other abilities can lose control of themselves!"

"If you want me to find her, you have to tell me the truth first!"

Shen Fei didn’t understand why his sister was being so evasive.

"She probably inherited a special bloodline, but she hasn’t lost control! She’s still a good person!"

"Her house is at this location. Hurry up and help me find her!!!"

"If you don’t go, I’ll send my frog out! My frog sensed danger immediately!"

"I can sense it. The frog seems to be giving me feedback, saying that what happened to Xiaohong is part of a huge conspiracy!"

After quickly telling her brother about her best friend, Shen Yue added a final threat. According to her brother’s instructions, she wasn’t allowed to leave the 5km radius around the villa district this week. Her Traveling Frog, with its Treasure Hunting ability, was also supposed to stay put this week. That was why, after her best friend went missing, Shen Yue went to her brother for help first, instead of sending out her Traveling Frog...

"Fine, I’ll take a look!"

After looking at the address of his sister’s friend, Shen Fei controlled the [Attribute Enhancement Tower] and boosted the range of his Detection Tower to 50km again. The [Attribute Enhancement Tower], after charging for several hours last night, had its cooldown reset and was ready to use.

WHOOSH.

Using the Detection Tower, Shen Fei’s perspective shifted to an apartment...

"Hm?"

Seeing the apartment door wide open and the chaotic scene inside, Shen Fei’s heart skipped a beat.

Something’s not right! This mess... it could be a kidnapping!

WHOOSH.

Without a second thought, Shen Fei activated another Defense Tower—the Tracking Tower. As long as the person was still within the 50km range, the Tracking Tower would definitely be able to find them. It was only a matter of time...

.

No! The Shen Family is a tough nut to crack, but I have to crack it!

My son just sent a message. He said their Qing City Tourism Management Office now has three honorary directors in addition to the main director, Li Yunlong.

「Nanshan Villa District」

After leaving the Shen Family’s villa, having lulled her little grandson to sleep, Granny Jia sat on the sofa, thinking.

I must become the leader of this villa district as soon as possible to give my son more support! Before the chaos, it was all about power, and my family was number one in the villa district! After the chaos, it’s all about the abilities inherited from the game, and my family must be number one again! Even though the abilities my son and I inherited aren’t strong, the Tourism Management Office is! The Tourism Management Office has authority!

Before the chaos, Granny Jia had been the neighborhood committee director. After the chaos, she wanted even more!

On her way back just now, Granny Jia had already asked her son to use the rapidly expanding database at the Tourism Management Office to look up what kind of frog Shen Yue had. Now, she was sitting on the sofa, waiting for the information so she could go and deal with the Shen Family’s giant frog.

The truth was, the villa district was just too important. She had heard from her son earlier that the news about the 5km safe zone around the villa district had pretty much become common knowledge at the Tourism Management Office. She had to consolidate the power within the villa district as quickly as possible.

SWISH!

SWISH!

SWISH!

Just as Granny Jia was about to continue her plotting, her vision suddenly blurred. Five figures dressed in black appeared right before her eyes.

"AHHHH!!!!"

Having only inherited a Makeup ability akin to a Disguise Technique, Granny Jia screamed and fell to the floor at the sight of the five menacing figures in black.

"Money! I have money!! It’s all yours!!!"

"I have gold!! And jewelry!!!"

"I’ll get it for you!!"

After screaming, Granny Jia immediately clutched her neck, speaking in a quiet, hurried voice. Now that the apocalypse was here, home invasions like this were all too common...

Isn’t the villa district supposed to be a safe zone? How are there still bad guys here?

Granny Jia wondered to herself as she tried to get up to retrieve the jewelry for the men in black.

WHOOSH!

But before she could move, one of the men in black raised his hand and threw a dagger, blocking her path.

"AHHH!!!"

"I won’t move, I won’t move! You can get it yourselves..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Blocked from moving, Granny Jia immediately threw her hands up and begged for mercy.

I’m a woman who’s going to seize power in this new world. I can’t just die here so easily.

"Cut the crap!"

"I ask, you answer!!"

One of the figures, completely covered in black clothing, finally spoke.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Finally able to get a word in, Granny Jia nodded repeatedly.
