Chapter 489: 269 Call for Help (First Update)_2

Li Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "It’s not far from here, there is a Li Yun District, and the housing conditions there are quite good. Many superpower users choose to rent there. All the houses there are daily rentals, and the rent is not too high. Let’s go there."

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, unfamiliar with the area, nodded in agreement after hearing this.

They drove quickly to the Li Yun District mentioned by Li Qingyun. Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye glanced at it, and from the outside, there seemed to be nothing unusual, leaving them curious about the condition inside.

The entrance of this district was also guarded, with three times more personnel than the one where Li Qingyun lived. The entrance fee was even higher - without an ID card, each person had to pay three Basic-level Crystal Cores, making a total of nine.

Fang Yuxin paid the Crystal Cores and asked the guard about the rental place, then they went straight in. The rental area was not far from the entrance, located in the first building inside the gate. The sign was hung on the first-floor balcony, probably for visibility to all passersby.

When the three of them approached, the balcony emitted a faint orange-yellow light, not like electric lights, more like candles.

"Is anyone there? We would like to rent a place," Li Qingyun called out. Before long, they heard someone yawn and then, with a ’swoosh,’ curtains were pulled open, and a woman stood inside behind the safety bars. After glancing at them lazily, she asked, "What kind of house do you want to rent?"

Li Qingyun glanced at Fang Yuxin, who then said, "A three-bedroom, as long as it is clean."

The woman yawned again and then said, "I know, it’s in this building, room 702 on the 7th floor. Thirty Basic-level Crystal Cores for one night. If you want it, hand over the Cores, and I will give you the key."

Thirty Crystal Cores were not a lot for them, but with such pricing, ordinary superpower users probably couldn’t afford it. Without hesitation, Fang Yuxin counted out thirty Basic-level Crystal Cores, showed them to the woman, and asked, "The key?"

The woman was surprised at their directness, sizing them up. However, she was efficient, and while sizing them up, she didn’t forget to take out the key.

Both sides exchanged the Crystal Cores for the key, and Fang Yuxin nodded to her, then along with Bai Ye and Li Qingyun, they headed toward the staircase.

The building was equipped with an elevator, but unfortunately, due to tight electricity supply, the elevator couldn’t be used. They had to climb the stairs, and it was already late. The stairwell was silent, without any noise. They reached the 7th floor and stopped in front of room 702, used the key to open the door, and Fang Yuxin took out a LED flashlight from her bag. She discovered that the room was decorated in a Mediterranean style—both cozy and romantic.

The decorations looked relatively new, probably done within the past year. This place had apparently hardly been lived in after the apocalypse and seemed clean, just a bit musty from being vacant.

Fang Yuxin used the Dust Cleaning Technique; Li Qingyun and Bai Ye only noticed a sudden breeze in the room, then the foul smell disappeared and the air became fresh.

They didn’t open the windows and cautiously locked the door after entering. Fang Yuxin set up a Formation on the doors and windows, then went into the bathroom, fetched a large bucket of water from the space, quickly took a shower and changed into clean clothes, then fetched two more large buckets of water, and said to Bai Ye and Li Qingyun, "I’ve prepared two buckets of clean water for you in the bathroom. Go take your showers."

After speaking, she went directly into the master bedroom.

The three-bedroom apartment featured beds in all rooms, varying in design but identical in size. The master bedroom was slightly better furnished than the other bedrooms, but that was the only significant difference.

They had previously assigned the rooms, giving the master bedroom to Fang Yuxin, while Bai Ye and Li Qingyun each took one of the other bedrooms. After entering her room, Fang Yuxin remade the bed, placed her own pillow, and upon lying down, couldn’t help but exhale a long breath.

Although she no longer needed to sleep, since they couldn’t go out at the moment, instead of uncomfortably squeezing into a car for Cultivation, it was better to find a place for a good sleep.

Her Cultivation had reached the Peak of Qi Refining Late Stage, and she wasn’t yet able to begin Foundation Establishment. Hastily cultivating was useless; she might as well lie down calmly and sleep, perhaps she might succeed in Foundation Establishment in a moment of insight.

Fang Yuxin laughed at her own naive thought, pulled up the thin quilt, smelling the faint tea aroma on the pillow, sighed contentedly, and closed her eyes.

After Li Qingyun finished her shower, Bai Ye went into the bathroom. The amenities were limited, so they washed with cold water, avoiding the use of water-wasteful products like shower gel, thus there were no mist or fragrance in the bathroom. Bai Ye quickly showered and while coming out, couldn’t help but look toward the master bedroom, thinking of Fang Yuxin sleeping inside. He suddenly felt a bit thirsty and hot.

The next moment, he was stunned by the images in his mind, blushed, cursed himself, and quickly entered his room, closing the door behind him before collapsing on the bed. The bed was covered with a layer of cool mat, its slight coolness calming his agitated body.

Bai Ye angrily ruffled his wet hair, for the first time feeling disgust at himself.

The night was cool as water, and the surroundings were very quiet, not even the chirping of insects could be heard, as if the entire district had sunk into sleep. Yet in a corner of the Safe Zone’s shantytown, a person was standing in front of a house, urgently knocking on the door, shouting, "Sister Zhao! Sister Zhao! Please come out! Please save us! Sister Zhao, I beg you!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation vote, monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation.
