On the other side, Lin Qiao, Qiu Lili, Xie Dong and Shen Yujen were sweeping across the Upper City District. From a roof, she suddenly sensed Du Yuanxing's vibe from Sea City Base, along with a series of weak and disordered vibes. So, she guessed that the second batch of workers had arrived.
Therefore, she gave the zombie boy a roar and told her to let them in.
"Who's here?" Qiu Lili stood by her side and looked in that direction with curiosity as she asked.
Lin Qiao looked at her and replied, "Can't you sense that vibe from there? It's Du Yuanxing. He brought quite some people here. There should be a truck-full of them."
Qiu Lili made a deep breath toward that direction, then said, "I can't grasp the scents from that far away. The vibes that I sensed are all mixed together."
Lin Qiao nodded and said, "It's them. I think the second batch of workers have arrived. This is strange though. Why did they come so soon?"
Before, they could only hire two or three people a day. Someone applied for the job, but eventually decided not to come.
Qiu Lili didn't know about that, so she looked at Lin Qiao and asked, "It's been about ten days since the first batch of workers arrived. Is this too soon?"
Lin Qiao nodded, then turned and jumped off the building. She had sensed the scent of food.
She was able to sense the scent of rice from a very long distance away, so by relying on her sense of smell, she found quite a few supermarkets and large hotels, including some grocery shops in the markets.
Lin Hao and his people had searched through the area around the hotel, so she went further away to look for more supplies.
Her extra sharp sense of smell helped her to locate many supplies. By the time she and her zombie friends searched across half of the Upper City District, rice in bags or buckets had piled into hills inside her space.
She was way faster than human beings. In a few days, half of all the stored food in Upper City District were found by her.
A couple of hours later, Lin Qiao, Qiu Lili, Xie Dong, and Shen Yujen returned to the hotel. Lin Qiao and Qiu Lili directly leaped into the hotel from a building nearby while Xie Dong and Shen Yujen took the stairs.
Both looked exactly like healthy human beings, so no one in the lobby noticed them when they came in. However, Xie Dong spotted Huang Tianfei from the group of workers. He paused briefly, his eyes showing a fierce look. After that, he kept moving toward the stairs.
Shen Yujen who followed behind Xie Dong gave him a glance with surprise, as she had sensed that his vibe somehow changed for a moment.
"From now on, this is your dormitory. Later on, our people will arrange rooms for you. The canteen is over there. You'll get three meals a day," Lin Feng stood by the front desk. The people who were brought here by Du Yuanxing were now standing in the lobby, facing him.
They looked around with surprise. None of them expected that they would be able to live in a hotel!
"Is it real that we only need to build a fence wall? Like, carry bricks and do the other constructional work?" some people asked with doubts.
"Yes," said Lin Feng, "Tomorrow morning, eight o'clock, I'll take you to the construction site. It's not far away from here.
At that moment, Lin Wenwen, Cheng Wangxue, and the two kids came in from the outside. They were all surprised when they saw all those people in the lobby.
Liu Jun came in along with them. Once in, she had her eyes fixed on Huang Tianfei, who was staring at her in shock.
Liu Jun frowned as she held Tongtong's hand and quickly walked toward the stairs.
Huang Tianfei was stunned. His eyes followed Liu Jun, showing disbelief. Automatically, he came out of the crowd and followed behind her.
"Liu Jun! It's really you! And Tongtong!"
Liu Jun kept walking straight forward, as if she didn't hear his words. Only Tongtong turned back to look at Huang Tianfei with curiosity.
Huang Tianfei caught up with them and dragged Tongtong's arm.
"Liu Jun, where are you going!" He yelled at her with discontentment.
His voice attracted the attention of Lin Wenwen and the others in the lobby. They all turned to Liu Jun and him with curiosity.
"Whaaaaa…" Tongtong took fright when Huang Tianfei dragged him violently and yelled, so the boy burst in tears.
Liu Jun stopped walking as he caught Tongtong.
She hurriedly turned around, then squatted to scoop up her son. However, Huang Tianfei suddenly pulled the boy and violently dragged him behind.
"Huang Tianfei, give Tongtong back to me!" Liu Jun stood up, staring at Huang Tianfei with a pair of purely black eyes.
Huang Tianfei finally noticed that she had no white parts in her eyes, nor pupils. Those eyes of hers were completely black.
He pointed at her eyes in shock and asked, "What… what happened to your eyes!"
"Whaaa…" Tongtong cried out loud behind him, but Huang Tianfei ignored the boy.
"Huang Tianfei, let go of Tongtong and then get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
An icy-cold murderous intent sparkled in her eyes.
The others had figured that something was wrong. They acted like a couple who were having a fight, so the others didn't rashly step up to try and make peace between them.
"Tongtong is crying… Grandma, he's scared," Lin Xiaolu abruptly held Mrs. Lin's hand and said to her.
Tongtong was crying indeed. At that moment, all the others were looking at Liu Jun and Huang Tianfei silently.
Mrs. Lin wasn't happy about what Huang Tianfei just did. So, she said to him, "Whatever happened between you two, it has nothing to do with the boy. Let go of Tongtong. You scared him. Are you his father?"
Huang Tianfei turned to find that it was a middle-aged woman who accused him. Instantly, he got angry.
"Old lady, mind your own business…"
Before he finished, Liu Jun slapped him heavily on the face.
Huang Tianfei paused for a few seconds with his head slightly tilted, then realized what just happened. With disbelief, he glared at Liu Jun and said, "You b*tch! How dare you slap me!"
"Huang Tianfei," said Liu Jun, "Since you abandoned Tongtong and me a couple of months ago, we have nothing to do with you anymore. Why did you come to me? Tongtong is mine. He has nothing to do with you now. Let go of my Tongtong."
In fact, Huang Tianfei was really surprised when he saw Tongtong, because in Sea City Base, every family with kids would be given with living allowance.
For that reason, he wanted to bring Tongtong back to Sea City Base the moment he saw him.
However, seeing Liu Jun's eyes stunned him a little.
He pointed at Liu Jun and yelled, "Look at what you are. Can you raise Tongtong safely? I am Tongtong's father. I have the guardianship!"
"Guardianship my a*s. This is the post-apocalyptic era. Do you think that you're still living in the peaceful world before the apocalypse?" said Lin Wenwen with a cold voice.
