Special Agent Rebirth: The Omnipotent Goddess of Quick Transmigration-Chapter 262: Queen of the Apocalypse (2) Fourth Watch of the Night
Chapter 262: Queen of the Apocalypse (2) Fourth Watch of the Night
"Xu General Manager, what brings you here?" Ye’s father was about to call Shaohua for dinner when he unexpectedly saw the Xu family arrive.
Shaohua had been sitting on the sofa all afternoon. When she saw the visitors, she stood up and greeted, "Hello, uncle and auntie."
The parents of the Xu family did not talk to her as they used to.
In the past, they had always treated Shaohua as their future daughter-in-law.
They even encouraged their son to pursue Shaohua.
But now, looking at Shaohua, their eyes were very somber.
Especially Xu Qi, he still remembered the pain of being bitten by zombies before he was reborn.
"Mr. Ye, this time I’ve come to transfer all my shares to you," Xu’s father took out the well-prepared contract, "Just give us twenty million."
The value of the shares they held was far more than twenty million, but if what their son had said really happened, these stocks would become worthless anyway.
It was better to convert some to cash. As their son had suggested, buy more houses, and, should the apocalypse come, have the capital to survive.
"Wait, General Manager Xu, why do you want to sell your shares to me?" Ye’s father frowned and waved his hands, outright refusing, "Besides, your shares are worth much more than twenty million. I definitely won’t take them."
"We’ve had some trouble at home," Xu’s father came up with a prepared excuse, "After much consideration, I can only trust you. Mr. Ye, you must help me with this. You can have a lawyer look at the documents."
He guessed that the Ye family could only spare twenty million in liquid capital, which is why he asked for that price.
"What kind of trouble has your family into that you even have to sell your shares?" Ye’s father wasn’t someone to take advantage of others in distress. The fact that they wanted to sell their shares indicated a serious problem. "We’ve been friends for so many years, I won’t just stand by. I will lend you twenty million to cover the shortfall, but you should take back your stocks."
The Ye family was very wealthy, but most of it was in the form of real estate and stocks.
Coming up with twenty million on short notice was the most Ye’s father could do.
"Shaohua, come here," said Ye’s father, while calling the secretary to transfer the money. He then proudly said to the Xu parents: "She’s been admitted to the lab. I heard it’s very hard to get into that lab."
"You have raised a good daughter, Mr. Ye," the Xu family said with a feigned smile.
The parents of the Ye family took it as them being in a hurry for their own family’s sake and didn’t think too much of it, merely nodding, "Certainly. But your son is not bad either..."
Observing the parents of the Ye family like this, Xu Qi was modest while hiding a chill in his eyes.
A good daughter... Ha, do you even know that your good daughter personally turned the safety base into a breeding ground for zombies, causing even yourselves to be killed by her."
The Xu family exchanged a few words and then hurriedly left with the money transfer.
They did not share the news of the impending apocalypse with the Ye family, as they didn’t want them to know and take advantage of it.
The day before the apocalypse, Ye Xiangxiang made another trip back and took both Ye’s father and mother away.
Shaohua didn’t stop them, merely acting as if she was unaware of anything.
She had never experienced the apocalypse, but she had faced something even more terrifying in the Magic World.
On the day of the apocalypse, all the suns in the sky disappeared.
Everyone would fall unconscious that day. Some awakened superpowers when they came to, others never woke up and became zombies, but most people remained the same with no changes at all.
The later one woke up, the higher the level of their superpower.
When Shaohua woke up again, Ye family’s villa had already been occupied by a group of people.
"You’re awake?" An excited voice sounded, "Do you feel anything different about yourself?"
Shaohua pinched her fingers and looked at the youthful boy in front of her with a baby-face, "No. Wait a minute... Why are you at my house?"
As soon as Shaohua said there was nothing different about her, disappointment instantly washed over the baby-faced boy’s expression.
"Are you sure? There’s nothing at all different with you?" the baby-faced boy asked persistently.
It’s just impossible that Xiangxiang is so strong while her cousin is so weak, it doesn’t make sense.
"Maybe, am I supposed to be different?" Shaohua stood up and raised her eyebrows slightly.
She did not see Ye Xiangxiang in the house and presumed she had taken people out to search for supplies. She walked over to the window and saw some traces of blood and fighting outside, along with the stench of decay in the air that was almost suffused with despair.
It wasn’t much longer until Ye Xiangxiang and others returned.
"Team Leader, Xiangxiang’s cousin is awake," said the baby-faced boy as he approached the tall man who appeared to be the leader. "But..." He hesitated for a moment before adding: "She’s just an ordinary person."
"An ordinary person?" Su Ran’s gaze landed on Shaohua, who leaned against the window. The apocalypse had begun two days ago, and they all had fought zombies along the way, nearly all of them looking ragged, except for her, who remained as clean as before, without a single change.
Her eyes were as clear as water when she looked over.
Su Ran cleared his throat and then came out of his reverie, "It’s not that we don’t have ordinary people in the team. Since she’s Ye Xiangxiang’s relative, let’s bring her along."
"Gu Yuan, some people in the team are injured. Go treat them," after saying that, Su Ran turned his eyes towards Gu Yuan, but saw that he was looking in the direction of Shaohua. "Gu Yuan? Gu Yuan?"
After being called several times, Gu Yuan finally turned his head with a sardonic look in his eyes.
"Team Leader, although we have ordinary people in our team, they are capable fighters. The other girls are useful too," Gu Yuan turned around, pointed at Shaohua, and said to Su Ran: "What use is it to bring her? She’s a pampered heiress who can’t do anything. Can she even handle odd jobs? Bringing her will only be a drag on our entire team. Why don’t you ask the others to see if they agree?"
Following Gu Yuan’s words, the bustle inside the villa turned towards Shaohua.
Shaohua pinched her fingers, realizing that this was the last reborn person, the heartthrob of A University, Gu Yuan.
Some listened to Su Ran, refraining from commenting.
But those from A University and those who came with Ye Xiangxiang frowned.
Several of them did not have superpowers.
They knew Su Ran and his group were already troubled enough protecting them; adding Shaohua, who was utterly useless, would not only mean dividing up their resources further but also put them in greater danger.
