Immortal in The Apocalypse

Wen Na and Meng Zhelan were shocked when they heard what Ji Yang said. Since meeting Zhu Lin and the others, they have not had a meal together. But today, Ji Yang personally invited Mother Zheng and her son. It seemed that this auntie and her skinny son were not someone they could offend.

Seeing that his help is no longer needed here, Ji Yang said, "Since I still have something to do, I will leave first. See you later, Madam."

While Mother Zheng and Zheng Jinnan send Ji Yang out, Meng Zhelan and Wen Na exchange glances. The two of them then looked at the mother and son curiously. So far, those who can stay in this resort are either Captain Xiu and Zhu Lin’s friends, workers, or powerful people. Judging from their interactions with Ji Yang, it seems that the mother and son are Zhu Lin’s friends.

After a moment of silence, Wen Na whispered to Meng Zhelan: "Meng Meng, I think we are really lucky to be able to stay here."

Meng Zhelan nodded and said, "Yes. We should work harder to help Elder Sister Zhu Lin take care of the crops."

After a while, they saw Mother Zheng coming back with Zheng Jinnan and smiled at them. Looking at the awkward and embarrassed faces of the two of them, Meng Zhelan smiled and said, "Auntie, how about you two choose the bedroom and clean up first?"

Hearing what her best friend said, Wen Na nodded and said, "My bedroom and Meng Meng’s bedroom are on the second floor. There are still five empty bedrooms on the second floor and five empty bedrooms on the first floor. You can choose which bedroom you like."

Mother Zheng was surprised that there were so many bedrooms in this villa and thought: ’Since there are so many empty bedrooms here, new people will live in this villa in the future. It seems that I should live with Nan Nan instead of living in different bedrooms.’

Thinking like this, Mother Zheng said, "In that case, then we will live on the second floor too."

Meng Zhelan nodded and said, "Each bedroom has a bathroom, so we don’t need to share the bathroom. As for the living room, dining room, kitchen, and rooftop, because they are public spaces, they must be cleaned together. Auntie, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Mother Zheng nodded and said, "I don’t have any objection. Let’s just do it as you usually do."

Looking at Mother Zheng’s honest and friendly face, both Meng Zhelan and Wen Na breathed a sigh of relief. Life will be difficult if your housemates are not easy to get along with. But they are so lucky to have such a kind auntie and a quiet little brother as their housemates.

Seeing their tired and dirty faces, Meng Zhelan said, "Auntie, you and Xiao Zheng should take a shower first. Our room is at the end of the second floor. You can choose other rooms according to your preferences."

Mother Zheng nodded to the two friendly young women and said with a smile: "All right. Thank you, Miss Meng and Miss Wen."

Seeing Mother Zheng and Zheng Jinnan walking up to the second floor, Meng Zhelan and Wen Na continued to have breakfast. After choosing for a while, Mother Zheng and Zheng Jinnan chose the largest room on the second floor and walked in.

Seeing the dirty bedroom, Mother Zheng looked at her son and said, "Nan Nan, go and see if there is water in the bathroom."

Zheng Jinnan nodded and walked to the bathroom. Seeing that there was nothing in the bathroom, he turned on the faucet and saw water flowing out. The cold, clean water surprised him as he quickly turned off the faucet.

Walking out of the bathroom, he said, "Mother, there is clean water. Should I ask the two elder sisters if I need to pay to use the water?"

Mother Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Mhm. Go and politely ask them."

Zheng Jinnan nodded and went downstairs. Seeing Meng Zhelan wiping the low table in the living room and Wen Na washing dishes in the kitchen, he was surprised and thought: ’They still use water to wash dishes? Don’t they know that water is very precious now?’

Hearing his footsteps, Meng Zhelan raised her head and asked, "Xiao Zheng, do you need anything?"

Hearing her question, Zheng Jinnan came back from his thoughts and asked, "Elder Sister Meng, do I need to pay the water bill? Is there a limit for our daily water consumption?"

Knowing that outside this resort area, water is very precious and people will sell it at high prices, Meng Zhelan reminded him: "Water can be used at will here, but it cannot be wasted because the water is provided by the base. They log the use of water and other supplies daily, and if they catch you selling these supplies for your benefit, you will be punished and banned from the base forever."

After hearing what she said, Zheng Jinnan knew that being banned from entering the base was a crueler punishment than being killed. Without a safe place to live, their end would be unimaginably tragic. After a moment of silence, he said sincerely: "I will remember it well."

Seeing that he understood what she meant, Meng Zhelan nodded at him. Recalling that Mother Zheng and Zheng Jinnan didn’t bring anything when they came, Meng Zhelan said, "You can go to the public office to get daily necessities. We can get a pack of daily necessities every month, so remember to get it yourself. As for food and other things, you need to find them yourself."

Zheng Jinnan nodded and said, "Thank you, Elder Sister Meng, for sharing the information."

Meng Zhelan smiled at him and said, "It’s a small matter. Do you know the way to the public office? If you don’t know, I can show you the way."
