Reborn In the Apocalypse: My Hotel Has Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 114: Ominous Rain

Feeling unable to get any answers, he reluctantly returned to his team.

This time, Chu Jiangyue returned to Jianglin Hotel with three little tagalongs, two human infants, and one mutant tiger cub.

As soon as she got off the car, she received a lot of attention.

Some bold individuals even walked up to Chu Jiangyue and asked various questions.

"Young lady, are these your siblings or your children?"

"Oh! How come you brought a pet with you? Does everyone else have no objections?"

Many residents of L City didn’t know that Chu Jiangyue was the owner of the Jianglin Hotel they longed for, so they asked indiscreet questions.

Chu Jiangyue frowned slightly, feeling that these people were poking their noses into too many things.

"We are children our sister took in, not her own children."

Shang Gucheng might not notice anything wrong with the questions, but Shang Guyue, being seven years old, understood things a bit more, and immediately rebutted.

Sister is still so young, and if rumors spread that she has children, it would be difficult for her to find a big brother in the future.

The middle-aged woman who approached to ask questions showed an embarrassed expression and then glared at Shang Guyue.

Damn kid, really rude and disrespectful to elders!

"Roar!"

The little tiger jumped down from Chu Jiangyue’s arms and roared at the middle-aged woman.

The roar scared the woman, making her knees weak. She screamed and fell to the ground: "Ah! Little beast, you’re courting death! See if I don’t catch you to eat meat!"

Saying this, she got up from the ground and charged toward the little tiger.

She had her eyes on the little tiger now.

Vines flew out from Chu Jiangyue’s hand, directly stopping at the woman’s chest.

"Dare to move forward and this vine will pierce your heart. Think twice before acting~"

Chu Jiangyue beckoned to the little tiger, which jumped back into her arms but still grimaced at the woman.

The middle-aged woman was taken aback by the vine pressing against her chest.

She didn’t expect this soft-looking young girl to be so ruthless.

However, faced with a superpower user, she really had no option.

The beast was lucky to find such a capable owner.

Unwillingly, she huffed and turned back to where her family was.

Seeing the woman walk back to a young man as thin as a bamboo stick, the man flashed a greasy crooked smile at Chu Jiangyue, nearly making her vomit from disgust.

"Oh dear! So eye-searing! Is it possible the host has an interest in you?"

Little Fox stood on Chu Jiangyue’s shoulder, covering its eyes with its front paw.

’Shut up!’

Chu Jiangyue would never admit that she could be fancied by such a creepy guy.

"Fairy Sister..."

Before leaving, the middle-aged woman cast a surreptitious glance at Shang Gucheng, who appeared scared as he approached Chu Jiangyue afterward.

That person... seemed about to eat him!

"Don’t be afraid. As long as you stay by Fairy Sister’s side, no one will be able to do anything to you."

As long as they returned to Jianglin Hotel, there wouldn’t be such a need for vigilance.

"I’m not afraid, Fairy Sister. I also want to become powerful so when I grow up, I can protect sister and Fairy Sister!"

Since being by Chu Jiangyue’s side these past days, Shang Gucheng’s infant fat had returned a bit due to eating well, making him jiggle when nodding, prompting Chu Jiangyue to reach out and poke a small dimple.

Soft and springy, the texture was delightful.

Because flyers have limited effectiveness, everyone set out immediately after lunch.

Before setting off, Chu Jiangyue glanced at the sky and pursed her lips.

"What’s the matter?"

Shen Zhigui noticed Chu Jiangyue’s mood was off.

"Don’t you realize the weather... is a bit gloomy today?"

Though the temperature remained high, the sun was not as strong as yesterday.

Upon hearing her words, Shen Zhigui paused: "Are you sensing something might happen?"

If not, Shen Zhigui felt Chu Jiangyue wouldn’t wear such an expression.

"Maybe, let’s see how the night turns out."

Chu Jiangyue didn’t know how to describe her feelings, perhaps... it might rain.

After rain comes the extreme cold.

However, with temperature control suits on, they needn’t worry about the cold affecting them.

But other survivors might face another round of heavy casualties.

With zombies rampant, animals and plants mutating, compounded by natural disasters, this apocalypse was indeed set on wiping out humanity.

Chu Jiangyue kept silent, Shen Zhigui hesitated to ask, opting instead to stay by her side to offer help at any moment.

"Boss Chu, did you sense something’s about to happen?"

Seeing her suddenly with a worried face, Su Zhucheng and the others didn’t feel good either.

If she doesn’t say, they remain clueless. If something is brewing, informing them allows better preparation for defense, doesn’t it?

"The sky’s clouded over, I feel it might rain."

"Rain? Boss Chu, you’re not joking, right?"

Since the apocalypse started, it’s been a long time since it rained.

"See, even when I tell you, you don’t believe me, which is why I didn’t speak earlier."

"You’re certain about the rain? Does it mean it’s not a good omen?"

Shen Zhigui quickly fathomed why Chu Jiangyue looked troubled.

"Perhaps. It’s just my intuition, not a definitive answer for you."

Chu Jiangyue chose not to share uncertainties, lest unfulfilled predictions lead to people asking her to compensate for their misguided preparations.

The toughest role is being a good person, hence Chu Jiangyue’s reluctance to take on that role.

"Understood, I’ll send a message to Song Chengjun—it’s up to him how he handles it."

Shen Zhigui felt Chu Jiangyue wasn’t wrong to hold back. In her place, he might also decide similarly.

Since making erroneous decisions only invites blame onto themselves.

In this case, it’s better to do nothing from the start.

Chu Jiangyue didn’t object to Shen Zhigui. If Shen Zhigui’s reminder enabled Song Chengjun to prepare, it’d be a positive outcome.

"Don’t burden yourself too much; preparing for rain is just a precaution. If it doesn’t rain, there’ll be no complaints."

Even if someone harbors discontent, it would be aimed at Song Chengjun because he made all the arrangements.

"Fairy Sister, is rain bad?"

Seeing Chu Jiangyue upset, Shang Gucheng innocently posed a question.

Shen Zhigui suddenly paid attention: "What did you say?"

"Don’t scare him."

Chu Jiangyue ruffled Shang Gucheng’s head to prevent him from getting frightened.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhigui asked Chu Jiangyue: "Is what he said true?"

Chu Jiangyue sighed: "From my intuition, if it rains... zombies might see a significant advancement in levels, and post-rain... extreme cold may ensue."
