Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 132: Chapter 124: The Cruise Ship Docks

This discovery stunned Yu Dong.

In his last life, this stalker had followed him for no apparent reason, and he was armed!

His physical fitness was better than a collegiate athlete’s, and he was able to rescue Lin Xiaojun from a horde of zombies.

Although Yu Dong didn’t know how Lin Xiaojun had managed to kill him, the man was undoubtedly a top-tier threat!

He hadn’t figured it out in his last life, and now, in this one... the man was stalking Xufeng.

’Is this the butterfly effect? But what caused it?’

Yu Dong was certain that this person hadn’t appeared during his first rebirth.

But in his second life, after he changed some of his plans, this person had suddenly shown up.

Now, in his third life, Xufeng had joined their plans, and they had changed so many strategies that it was completely different from the last life, but... the stalker still appeared.

’So... the part of the plan that overlaps between the second and third lives, but wasn’t in the first, must be the reason this dangerous person appeared.’

Xufeng left, and Yu Dong decided not to tell him for now.

In the last life, the stalker hadn’t done anything to him, so it was relatively safe. He was afraid that if Xufeng started looking around and acting rashly, it might trigger some negative change for the worse.

After thinking for a moment... Yu Dong finally zeroed in on one thing.

’It’s Zhou... Only persuading Zhou fits all the variables. And in this life, it was Xufeng who threatened Zhou, so the stalker is following Xufeng. But the one who could have made this change...’

’It’s Mei... There’s something wrong with Zhou’s girlfriend!’

Only Mei could know for sure who had threatened Zhou.

’Why would she do that? Zhou is completely clueless about this... Didn’t he say Mei was just his PhD student? Simple, sexy, and with a strong core.’

Yu Dong realized that this Mei might not be as simple as Zhou thought. He would have to wait for Zhou to come back and ask him properly about her.

’But for now, this person won’t affect our operations, so we can ignore him for the time being. It’s Zhou who’s the problem... What is he up to? Why isn’t he back yet?’

Zhou insisted that his future self had sent him a message, and then he went back to his lab.

Aside from the message he sent yesterday, he had completely ignored their affairs.

’I have no idea what’s so great about that stupid experiment... Is it more important than the apocalypse? Are all researchers like this?’

Yu Dong didn’t quite understand.

Yu Dong mentally filed away this information for now and continued with his work.

He headed to Xiangti Bay Community. Same as the past few days, he had a brief chat with Liangzi and slipped him a pack of Yuxi cigarettes, which got Liangzi all smiles, calling him "brother."

And this morning, Yu Dong also saw Zhao Wenjie and Yang Yi leaving together, hand in hand.

’In the last life, after all those tragic things happened... they went back to being like this. Aren’t they just a pair of star-crossed lovers?’

After Yu Dong was reborn, everyone else had returned to seven days before the apocalypse. Everything they experienced in the last life was erased; only he still possessed those memories...

’Wen Jie, in this life, I won’t let this bitch play you again. I’ll make you see her true colors...’

Two days ago, Yu Dong had found Yang Yi’s Xiaohongshu account and had arranged for a professional to handle it...

Just then, Yu Dong took a few steps forward, pretending to run into them by chance.

"Hey! Hello... Have we met before?"

Zhao Wenjie: "Huh? You do look a little familiar... Are you from Yanhai University too?"

"Yeah, yeah! I’m from the School of Food Science. Do you live here?"

"I do. And you are...?"

"I’m thinking of renting a place off-campus, so I’m checking some places out... How is this community? Is it quiet at night? Is it a decent place to live?"

"Oh, it’s pretty good! It’s a bit humid, but the scenery and environment are fantastic, and the property management is great..."

Zhao Wenjie was quite enthusiastic, but Yang Yi, standing beside him, said coldly, "Let’s go, we’re going to be late!"

Yu Dong quickly said, "You guys go ahead. Let’s add each other on WeChat first, and we can chat on there later."

"Alright!"

After adding Zhao Wenjie on WeChat, Yu Dong saw an elderly couple leaving to walk their dog.

It was Wang Xiuying and her husband.

Remembering Wang Xiuying’s unsociable nature in his last life and her final request not to be saved, Yu Dong sighed. It reminded him of the charity events he used to participate in.

Many elderly people don’t live long after their spouse dies... They lose their reason to live.

A person’s whole life is about companionship.

Your children have their own careers and their own families. The only one who can stay with you for a lifetime is your spouse...

Yu Dong didn’t go up to Grandma Wang. Instead, he waited by the entrance for a while until Qiao Ping came out after dropping off her child.

"Let’s go. Luckin."

"Okay."

The two of them sat down. Yu Dong ordered an iced Americano for himself and a hot milk for Qiao Ping.

"Sister Qiao, how are things with your husband?"

Qiao Ping cradled the hot milk, choosing her words carefully.

Qiao Ping felt a certain aversion toward Yu Dong. She felt that he... had a need to control others, and she didn’t like such self-righteous people.

Because her whole life, she had always been the one in control.

Even her husband had only won her over after groveling for a long time, and their child had even taken her family’s surname.

But this college student before her was completely unreasonable, attacking her weak spots without mercy.

If she didn’t listen, he would immediately expose himself to Yin Shuangyang and take her mother down with him.

But... there was also a strange charm about him, an extreme dedication to the things he believed in.

It was very complicated.

"He’s already reported it as you requested. Calculating the time... he should receive a public letter of criticism this afternoon, followed by a talk with the second-in-command. Today is going to be very hard for him."

Qiao Ping shook her head helplessly. The whole thing was just too absurd.

For the director of a city-level epidemic prevention station to make such a huge blunder was truly embarrassing.

"Alright. Call me when the results are out..."

Yu Dong knew it would most likely be ignored, but... at least he had tried. And he had reported it through a person of considerable influence. If even that couldn’t attract any attention, then Yu Dong was truly out of options.

He didn’t understand viruses, so he couldn’t prove anything.

"What about your uncle? Did you mention the military matter to him again yesterday?"

"I did. Now there’s a psychologist living at my house... Is there anything else? If not, I’m going back to meditate with my psychologist."

Qiao Ping rolled her eyes. Yu Dong was fine, but he had dragged her whole family through the mud.

The only thing she was grateful for now was that Yu Dong had listened to her and hadn’t exposed everything to Yin Shuangyang.

"Um... there’s one more thing."

"What?"

"Do you have any more money? I’m running a little short lately..." Yu Dong said, looking a bit embarrassed.

"What? Didn’t you just get a million?"

"I spent it all..."

"You... how much more do you need?"

"How much do you have?"

"???"

Qiao Ping stared at Yu Dong in shock. She thought he would play a more sophisticated game, something involving power and money, but... today he wasn’t even pretending. He was just straight-up robbing her.

But for some reason, looking at Yu Dong’s clear and determined gaze, Qiao Ping felt that this person... wasn’t the type to pursue material pleasures.

It was as if he truly believed he was doing something extraordinary...

Even when robbing a pregnant woman, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt.

"I only have 500,000 at home... It’s what my husband and I have saved up over the years. Believe it or not, my family really doesn’t have much money. My uncle forbids us from taking any... He’s a very rigid person."

"Transfer it to me."

After leaving Xiangti Bay Community, Yu Dong went directly to Huangyang Port.

At noon today, the Royal Caribbean International Cruise ship was arriving in port.
