Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 428 Fear is Spreading

Whipping up something casual is definitely better than dining out at a restaurant.

Plus, with so many people around, she considered it as saving food for everyone.

"How come you still have instant noodles?"

"I really do, I got them earlier and haven’t eaten any. How about a candlelit instant noodle date?"

"Haha, what kind of phrase is that?"

She found that Song Yi could be quite adorable at times.

"So, are we doing it or not?"

"Of course not, keep your instant noodles to yourself."

"Why?"

Jhiang Yuan cast a glance, finding it unbearable to watch this grown man act so coyly.

"Knock off that pitiful act. I’m telling you, we need to keep a low profile.

Instant noodles are a luxury now. It’s okay to tell Jiang Yuan, but don’t go showing off to others."

Indeed, having a pack of instant noodles was now considered showing off.

"Alright, I won’t show off. I’ll save them all for you."

"Forget about it, I have plenty myself. Let’s go, Sister treats you to something delicious."

Song Yi watched her and couldn’t help but feel good.

It’s just that this ’Sister’ title was not particularly flattering.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t hog the food all to herself; she made sour soup dumplings and brought out a bowl for him too.

While cooking, Song Yi didn’t just stand around; he helped out as her sous chef.

Now that they had a suitable house, they could rest outside, and time in the space could be halted.

Nevertheless, they still ate their meals inside the space.

This level was going to accommodate many people, although it was empty at the moment.

But being cautious was very necessary.

"I didn’t know you were such a good cook."

Song Yi devoured a dumpling, genuinely impressed.

"If you enjoy it, I’ll often cook for you in the future."

Not to mention, back in Changming Village,

it was Song Yi who helped collect those supplies.

Giving him a bit to eat was more than justifiable.

Moreover, the relationship between the two of them had changed now from before.

Song Yi was quite capable and agile, even if emotions weren’t considered,

partnering up with him was a good deal for her.

"Great, then I’ll be your sous chef in the future."

Jhiang Yuan smiled, without saying anything further.

Their time together was still heartwarming.

Song Yi just felt that time flew by too quickly. Being with Jhiang Yuan, even doing nothing and just silently being together, was very enjoyable.

After eating, Jhiang Yuan quickly left.

She was in Song Yi’s room, and her parents were waiting for her back at home.

After returning, she inevitably had to do some explaining.

Now that everyone was living in this place, and considering those she was close to, Jhiang Yuan naturally wouldn’t keep secrets.

"Dad, Mom, we all need to be more careful. If we ever encounter danger,

don’t overthink it, just focus on self-preservation and hide."

Jhiang Xingzhi nodded, agreeing that not drawing attention was also his approach.

Even disregarding morality, there wasn’t much else to consider.

In the current situation, being alive was something to be thankful for.

"Daughter, don’t worry, we’re aware of these matters."

Speaking of this made Jhiang Yuan particularly worried.

"Dad, it’s mainly you.

Mom, the two kids, and I are basically always together.

But you’re alone in the security room, you must be extra careful.

If anything really happens, hurry over to the dining hall."

Of course, Jhiang Yuan would also go check on him.

"Don’t worry, I know."

A few people chatted for a while longer, then went back to sleep.

The two children were already asleep; the queen-size bed was still quite comfortable for three people.

Qin Yue had replaced the bedding with a set of coral fleece, making it warm and cozy.

The weather was still cold, with no heating facilities, so they could only rely on thicker blankets.

Besides, wearing thermal underwear to bed could also make a big difference.

The next day, everyone went to work as usual.

In the kitchen, a woman approached furtively.

"Yuanyuan, I heard something happened in the residential area too.

You’ve moved there, haven’t you? Any insider gossip? Come on, tell your sister."

She didn’t seem too anxious as she inquired.

That little boy was her son, usually playing with Xiao Nuan and the others.

The three children, accordingly, were more protective of the little tyke.

"Sister Wu, I’m not very clear on it myself. You’d do better to ask someone else."

Sister Wu looked at her, a bit surprised: "That’s not right, isn’t your dad the security guard over there? He should know everything. Didn’t he tell you anything?"

Jhiang Yuan shook her head. These kinds of things, everybody would have certainly heard something.

But, she didn’t want to be a spreader of news.

Sister Wu, coming to a realization, looked at her with a knowing expression.

"Come on, just tell me, I promise I won’t tell anyone else."

"Sister Wu, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, I really don’t know the specifics.

We shouldn’t spread rumors; if there really is a problem later, those spreading rumors will be in trouble."

We’re from a civilized society, and we know that pursuing responsibility for such things can be troublesome.

Especially when there’s sensitive news.

Even expressing opinions on one’s own social media account could be dangerous.

A light penalty would be a warning or account deletion.

A heavy one could mean jail time.

Sister Wu walked away somewhat disgruntled, not saying much more; the matter seemed to drop there.

However, it didn’t stop everyone else from discussing it.

There were quite a few people in the kitchen, with not much else to talk about.

While peeling potatoes, they still talked about the incident.

Qin Yue kept her lips sealed, professing ignorance when questioned.

They had already agreed not to tell others carelessly, to avoid causing panic.

Yet, things were developing in an unexpected direction.

During mealtime, people of different job positions were talking about it.

Even Squad Leader Cheng came to ask her about it.

For a time, everyone was anxious.

Jhiang Yuan played dumb, deliberately acting clueless.

When Jhiang Xingzhi came to eat, he was immediately surrounded by everyone.

With their lives on the line, everyone wanted to know some so-called "inside information."

Her dad, at a loss with so many eyes on him, didn’t know what to do.

Thankfully, Song Yi and Camp Commander Xie appeared on time, diffusing the situation.

Everyone got their food and sat down to eat together. freёnovelkiss.com

"Camp Commander Xie, you see how it is. Wherever my dad goes, people are asking him questions.

If we can’t get this under control, it could lead to trouble."

Regarding Jhiang Xingzhi’s safety, Jhiang Yuan dared not be negligent.

The one with authority here was Camp Commander Xie.

Also, he was intricately linked to the incident.

"I understand what you mean, Comrade Jhiang Yuan. Please rest assured, I’ll send two people over later to assist your uncle.

Additionally, they can protect his personal safety."

At this, she felt relieved.

"Thank you so much, Camp Commander Xie."
