Lu Jin rotated his wrist and completely ignored her words, instead turning to the nearly terrified ng Shu and saying, "Don’t target her anymore, otherwise I won’t hesitate to get rid of you first."
He was serious, and the ominous depth in his eyes bore no falsehood.
For the first ti, ng Shu saw such an inhumane and ferocious side of Lu Jin... all because of Su Mo.
"I’m Daddy’s daughter, you can’t hurt , you’re supposed to like , Daddy is so fond of you," she uttered dazedly, tears squeezing from her eyes.
Walking past her, Lu Jin left only one sentence behind, "The person I love, you aren’t even worthy to be the dust on her body."
Lu Chen arrived fashionably late just as the banquet was about to begin.
Amidst the crowd, he spotted Su Mo imdiately and was about to head over when a call for "Chenchen" made his expression turn exceptionally cold and hard.
With tear-stained cheeks, Fang Ya ran through the crowd to him and trembled as she reached out to touch his face, "Chenchen, you’re really alive!"
Lu Chen coldly turned his head away, acting as if she was a stranger and simply brushed past her.
"Chenchen!" Fang Ya couldn’t help but shout a little louder, causing people around to turn their heads with gossipy looks.
Su Mo also heard the commotion and turned her head to find Lu Chen with an unpleasant expression. She let go of Zhao Changsheng’s arm and said, "I’ll be right back."
"Lu Chen," she took the initiative to grab his hand, then smiled faintly at Fang Ya, "Madam Lu, perhaps we shouldn’t be loud in such a setting."
Fang Ya really had enough of Lu Chen’s cold glances.
She approached him and pleaded, "I really know I was wrong, Lu Chen don’t be like this, your dad won’t be happy."
Speaking of Lu Cang made Lu Chen’s eyes grow darker, and he looked up indifferently, "Leave Lu Youwei, co with . Willing?"
As Lu Chen expected, Fang Ya hesitated for just a mont. She probed, "If I co with you, will you... treat a bit more kindly?"
The man turned his head and left with Su Mo, dropping one indifferent sentence behind him, "No."
Once they were far away, Su Mo asked curiously, "It seed like she was about to agree just now."
"Just circling around both sides," Lu Chen rubbed the top of her head.
The death of Lu Chen’s father was orchestrated by Lu Youwei. Su Mo felt that, after so much ti, Fang Ya should have so idea, but just now her hesitation was apparent, and that move was indeed puzzling.
The banquet soon began.
The venue was a large basketball court that had been refitted. The short, fat man had so trouble getting onto the stage.
The apocalypse hadn’t slimd down this tycoon at all; on the contrary, he seed to be subtly gaining weight.
The main content of the speech was nothing more than promoting friendly developnt between both sides and discussing the previously ntioned cooperation issues.
Since they had to jointly confront the possible arrival of the Beast Tide, the superpower users from both sides were to implent resource and intelligence sharing.
Both parties had their own task halls and channels, and from that day on, they would no longer restrict non-camp mbers from taking on tasks. Furthermore, starting today, all tasks would be adjusted to focus on the search for food supplies and materials for the city walls.
Everyone had to get ready for the great battle that might arrive very soon.
His words sounded quite good, and Su Mo heard nothing wrong with them. Moreover, this sowhat balding tycoon, in fact, had none of his daughter ng Shu’s airs and graces; instead, he was shrewd and knew how to make accurate judgnts about the current situation.
A wealthy person who could still do so well after the apocalypse was definitely no fool.
Rong Bai also arrived at the scene, saying things similar to him, but he reiterated the importance of the Beast Tide and the possibility of future natural disasters.
Volcanoes, tsunamis, glaciers—it all sounded sowhat unreal, but Rong Bai had brought the geologist over, who gave a detailed explanation of what a second Ice Age ant.
Most of the superpower users present were not fools; everyone understood the danger involved and how important it was to store food at this ti.
If the Ice Age really was to co, then humanity, unless it moved underground, would simply not be able to survive.
Imdiately soone raised the question, "If what you describe does happen, how do we survive underground?"
Rong Bai answered seriously, "That’s exactly what we need to work on now. We need to gather talents from all walks of life and find a new safe location within the next two years to create a Bunker."
All disasters go through a transitional process, so since they were fairly certain this was going to happen, they had to be well-prepared in advance.
Su Mo tugged at Lu Chen’s fingers, "Have you really decided to create a Bunker? That’s a huge undertaking."
"That’s why we need cooperation from both sides," Lu Chen said, lowering his head. He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to himself, his gaze icily fixed on Lu Jin nearby, as a declaration of sovereignty.
After he spoke, the previously bustling refugee camp beca sowhat oppressive.
Everyone was struggling to survive the apocalypse and had never relaxed for a mont; the harsh living conditions were almost suffocating.
And that speech had undoubtedly just handed everyone the equivalent of a terminal cancer diagnosis.
One could only try their best to save themselves; living or dying was up to fate.
Several cooks ca out with cart after cart of food, placing als on dozens of wooden tables pushed together.
They were filled with food, simple and straightforward, consisting of rice and various kinds of at. Rong Bai also made a gesture to the soldiers he brought with him—it might be on the other side’s territory, but he still had to show so sincerity.
The dishes they brought were hot stir-fried celery with pork and so delicious mashed potatoes, along with a dozen braised fish dishes, etc.
The scent attracted many gasps of amazent.
The land in the P City refugee camp was closely guarded, so their lack of knowledge was understandable.
Everyone gathered around the two tables, with soone quick to snatch a piece of fish at with their chopsticks and exclaim in shock, "It’s really fish, but how did you manage that? The fish can’t be eaten because of the black water."
Rong Bai lied effortlessly, "Caught from a privately-owned fish pond, we were lucky it hadn’t mutated."
Su Mo couldn’t help but smile, and then said to Lu Chen, "Are you hungry? Shall we go have so dinner?"
"I want what you make," he responded.
The two stood whispering sweet nothings, and Lu Jin, witnessing this, felt jealousy and rage burning up to his head. Clenching his fists, he turned and walked away.
ng Shu spoke a few words to her portly father in front of her, then gestured towards Su Mo and the others’ direction, her deanor sowhat aggrieved.
"Shu Shu, it’s not that Daddy won’t help you, but you can’t afford soone like Lu Jin," the man pinched her hand, and when Lu Chen looked over, he nodded at him in a friendly manner.
