Chapter 64 Xiao Ci, I Only Like You

"Screech~"

The alarm outside suddenly sounded, and Meng Ci and Yun Jingcen, along with the others, quickly came out with their things.

It couldn't be those bandits sneaking back, could it?

Before they could even open the stairwell door to investigate, Meng Ci heard a familiar voice from outside.

"Damn it, who set up this electric fence!"

"Damn, it nearly fried me!"

"Once I get my hands on Meng Ci, I'll throw all these troublesome things away!"

Hearing this, Meng Ci rolled his eyes.

To go through all this trouble for such a thing, truly embarrassing.

Meng Ci introduced to Yun Jingcen and the others, "Well, that guy has a grudge against me."

Yun Jingcen nodded calmly, put down the baseball bat in her hand, and asked, "Need any help?"

"No need!"

Since he didn't need help, Yun Jingcen and the others didn't linger and left.

Ruan Qing, however, was reluctant to leave, "Brother, do you need me to help you?"

Meng Ci shook his head, "No, go back."

With Ruan Qing's small frame, staying here wouldn't help; instead, he might need to be taken care of.

Showing Ruan Qing the long knife in his hand, Meng Ci said, "See this? With this, no one dares to bully me."

"Brother, I can stay here and support you."

Saying this, Ruan Qing placed his hands on his hips, trying to look fierce.

But given how cute Ruan Qing looked, it only seemed like he was being adorable, not intimidating at all.

"Thank you for your offer!"

"But Shen Que and I are enough here, besides, weapons are unpredictable!"

"If something accidentally happened to you, how would the teachers blame me?"

"Alright!"

Seeing that Meng Ci really didn't need his help, Ruan Qing reluctantly left.

He still wondered why Brother only allowed Shen Que to help, when they were both men.

Shen Que helped open the stairwell door and saw Liu Jie hesitating there, trying to figure out how to destroy the electric fence.

Upon hearing the door open, Liu Jie looked over expectantly and indeed saw Meng Ci.

"Meng Ci, Xiao Ci, hurry up and get rid of this thing."

Meng Ci rolled his eyes, "Get rid of what?"

"Liu Jie, are you brainless or what?"

"Haven't I already said that if I see you, I'll beat you up every time?"

Liu Jie wasn't afraid at all and shamelessly said, "Xiao Ci, I know you like me."

"I was previously misled by Ya Ya's sweet talk."

"Now that I've come to my senses, I realize that the person I like the most is still you."

"Xiao Ci, can you give me another chance?"

...

"Ahh!"

Before Liu Jie could finish speaking, an arrow flew past his ear and fell to the ground.

The arrow was cold, and its near miss scared him into sitting down.

"Xiao Ci, you..."

Meng Ci lowered the bow in his hand and coldly said, "Get lost!"

"Don't be a nuisance here."

Yesterday, they had prepared and set up two tables behind the door, loaded with many weapons.

Liu Jie swallowed hard, remembering his previous encounter, but still didn't want to leave easily, so he played the emotional card.

"Xiao Ci, considering we're classmates, can you take me in just this once?"

"I promise to behave and won't like anyone else."

"If you tell me to go east, I won't go west!"

Seeing that even after threatening him so much, Liu Jie still didn't want to leave, Meng Ci became curious about what had happened at the refugee settlement that made Liu Jie and so many others return.

"And, and I even brought back a rubber dinghy."

"Little Ci, during this heavy rainstorm, the most important thing is the rubber dinghy. With it, we can find food."

Liu Jie pulled out something that had been crumpled beyond recognition. If he hadn't said it was a rubber dinghy, no one would have known.

"Little Ci, look!"

Meng Ci leaned against the door, nodding and said, "If you want me to let you stay, sure!"

Liu Jie looked at Meng Ci with surprise, "Little Ci, I knew you still like me!"

"You wouldn't be so heartless as to leave me stranded."

After saying this, Liu Jie dropped everything in his hands and took two steps up.

Seeing the electric fence in front of him, Liu Jie felt a bit scared.

"Little Ci, hurry up and get rid of this thing so I can come in."

Now that Meng Ci was going to be with him, what use were these broken things!

Shen Que stood aside, wanting to say something but thought that Meng Ci wasn't an impulsive person, so he held back.

Meng Ci said, "Wait, I'm not done talking yet."

Liu Jie stood there, frowning, "Little Ci, what else is there to say?"

"Let me in quickly and make me a meal. You don't know how hungry I've been these past few days!"

Meng Ci rolled his eyes; this guy still hadn't changed his arrogant ways.

"If you want to come in, tell me what happened at the refugee camp first."

"If I'm satisfied, I'll let you in!"

When it came to the refugee camp, Liu Jie had endless grievances.

"What kind of refugee camp is that? It's just a place to make us work for free."

Liu Jie showed Meng Ci his hands.

"Little Ci, look at my hands, they're all blistered!"

The refugees taken away by the soldiers ended up in the villa area Meng Ci had bought.

However, when the heavy rain started, the military divided the area into two parts: one half for the wealthy and the other as a refugee camp.

Initially, because there weren't enough houses, bringing all the refugees over was useless, so only a part of the residents were taken.

These residents had to work in the heavy rain every day to earn their food, digging ditches and building houses.

The houses built were for the refugees to live in.

Each room was only a few square meters, barely fitting a simple single bed. There were no bathrooms, and even washing one's face required a long walk.

Anyone who caused trouble would be expelled.

Of course, if someone left, the soldiers would give them a rubber dinghy, and they could take their personal belongings.

Many people couldn't bear the hardship and chose to leave!

But outside, the heavy rain continued, and bandits roamed freely. Many of those who left eventually returned.

While working, soldiers guarded every section, and anyone caught slacking off would be noted down and given less food at mealtime.

Liu Jie had never done such labor before and often needed breaks after digging for a while, so he never got enough to eat.

There were protests, of course!

But after seeing several leaders of the protests shot without mercy, they dared not protest anymore.

They could only pray that the heavy rain would end soon.

Hearing this, Meng Ci understood.

The apocalypse was still a few days away, and a snowstorm was imminent.

If they didn't build the houses now, once the snowstorm arrived, they would have nowhere to shelter from the cold, and more people would die.
