Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Hidden meanings in words

Hearing the sound of the car, it wasn't just Brother Chen who was excited; everyone else collectively sighed in relief, feeling like they had just survived a disaster. But just at that moment, Brother Chen noticed the cold smile on Yu Yang's lips, and a strong sense of danger flashed through his mind. He felt something was off, but before he could think further, he heard the "bang" of a gunshot!

His heart seemed to stop and he whipped his head around, only to see one of his men fall flat on his back. The machete in his hand dropped to the ground with a "clang" of finality.

Brother Chen saw that his man had been shot in the chest. As he fell, blood gushed from the bullet hole and quickly pooled on the ground. At the same time, the car stopped, and a man stepped out of the open door. Brother Chen recognized him in an instant – it was Captain Qiu Yiming of the Superpower Team.

His brow furrowed, and seizing the moment Yu Yang paused, he quickly walked over to Qiu Yiming with a flattering smile and said, "Captain Qiu! Thank goodness you've come, otherwise we might have been in real danger."

However, what he didn't expect was for Qiu Yiming to just give him a cold glance before striding over to Fang Yuxin with concern, asking, "Xinxin, what happened?"

At that, Brother Chen's smile froze, and he understood that they had truly kicked an iron plate. He hadn't anticipated that not only were these two strong, but they also had a relationship with Qiu Yiming! And judging from the concerned look on Qiu Yiming's face, their relationship was anything but ordinary!

Thinking this, he couldn't help but curse the person who had first suggested staying here. If not for that suggestion, he wouldn't have offended someone he shouldn't have!

Fang Yuxin hadn't expected Qiu Yiming to come, but now that he had, things would be much easier to handle. So, she simply explained, "Not long after you left, these people came to take our house."

Brother Chen knew he was in trouble and quickly blurted out, "It's all a misunderstanding!"

But Qiu Yiming snorted sarcastically, "A misunderstanding? Do you think I'm blind?" He had arrived just in time to see someone wielding a machete at Fang Yuxin and had shot without a second thought.

Soon after, another car arrived with two people in military uniforms stepping out. They assessed the situation briefly before approaching Qiu Yiming and asking, "Captain, what shall we do with these people?"

Qiu Yiming glanced over at Brother Chen and the others, and with a hint of disdain, he ordered indifferently under Brother Chen's pleading gaze, "These people have violated the Safe Zone's regulations, breaking into homes with ill intent. Take them all away!"

By then, all of Brother Chen's companions had lost their ability to move and lay on the ground, except for Brother Chen and two women hiding in the car. The two military-clad individuals had no choice but to drag each person into the vehicle. The back of the vehicle had a bed where everyone was crammed together, including Brother Chen, the two women, and the unfortunate soul shot by Qiu Yiming.

Qiu Yiming directed his subordinates to leave first and then turned to Fang Yuxin and Yu Yang, explaining, "I forgot to tell you earlier that this development area has been chosen as a temporary Safe Zone. Apart from law enforcement officers, no one is allowed to kill within the Safe Zone. Things are somewhat manageable now, but as more survivors arrive, housing will become a serious issue. Besides these people, others will likely covet your home, so from now on, you must be careful and stay safe."
