I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 1593

Chapter 1593: The Departing SS Origin

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rainystars

The rain dripped on the window eaves. The coconut trees outside the window were blown violently to one side by the howling typhoon. The wind and thunder raged in the air. From the distance, a fishing boat sailed through the rough sea.

Surprisingly.

Now, there were still people who didn’t know what happened, and they still lived a routine life day after day.

Coro City was already in chaos, and so was Penglai…

It was not only a scene in Xin, from Nouveau York to Shangjing, all the cities sunk in the dusk before the apocalypse.

Most people had already given up.

In any case, it was impossible to board the ship without a ticket. Apart from offering blessings or curses to those who had already boarded the ship, there were only a few things left to do.

The devoted followers chose to overcome through the last moment with their gods, some people spent the last moment with their family to enjoy the Last Supper, the self-defeated people exchanged their money for alcohol, or things they never dared to try before…

At this moment, there seemed to be nothing worth respecting.

The future of this planet was just like the storm outside this window, cloudy, depressing, and suffocating.

Sun Jiao stood in front of the window, watched the storm outside, and let out a soft sigh as she moved her finger away from the cold glass.

The happy moment was so short.

She didn’t expect that after such a short encounter she would have to say goodbye to this beautiful new world.

What is the best way to describe this?

These four years has been like a dream.

Xia Shiyu walked behind Sun Jiao and looked at her back with some worry in her eyes. Then she said softly.

“Are you worried about him?”

To the surprise of Xia Shiyu, Sun Jiao smiled and shook her head gently.

She read the unexpectedness on Xia Shiyu’s face and explained in a quiet voice.

“I believe his mood should be the same as mine.”

“The same means?”

“Of course the mood when I want to see him.” Her right hand gently stroked the slightly bulging belly as looked down at the little life growing inside and said with a smile, “He will definitely return to me, so there is nothing to worry about.”

“This… is really enviable.”

There was a defeated expression on her face, and Xia Shiyu sighed lightly.

To talk about the question of whether to be jealous or not, jealousy already disappeared three years ago.

She didn’t mean anything related to jealousy; she simply envied the happy smile on Sun Jiao’s face. If the person who was pregnant with the small life was herself, then the expression that made people’s hearts tender would definitely appear on her face.

“Have you checked whether it is a boy or a girl?” Xia Shiyu changed the subject.

Sun Jiao shook her head.

“Why don’t you take a look? If you ask Lin Lin, she could do it.”

“Because…”

With her eyelids slightly lowered, there was a touch of gentleness that was never seen on her before that lingered at the corner of her lips, “I want to share the joy of that moment with him.”

Xia Shiyu wanted to say something but at this time, the sound of helicopter propellers roared from outside the mansion.

Ayesha jumped out from the helicopter, walked into the house quickly, threw her raincoat on the hook by the door, and wiped the rain off her face. When Xia Shiyu saw her walk in, she immediately walked up and asked with concern.

“Are things arranged?”

“SS Origin has set off, and the target is Alpha Centauri. It will enter radio silence after leaving the Earth-Moon system. Our people are already on board and will contact us after the end of hibernation… If it is necessary at that time.”

“Really?”

Xia Shiyu looked at the sky outside the window. Behind the heavy dark clouds was the last hope of human civilization.

Fortunately, they did not need to bear this difficult mission.

She sighed and then said.

“We should set off too.”

Regardless of the end, he would wait for them on the other side.

…

On SS Origin.

A man with a square face, full of resolute, stood in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, as he stared in the direction of Hua. At this time, an old man over the age of seventy walked behind with a cane. The sparse white hair on his head told the vicissitudes of the past.

Liu Xiangguo, the head of the well-known Liu family in the capital, was not as young as when he was ten years ago.

Not only the Liu family, but even the Wang family, who had got on the wrong side of Jiang Chen, were also placed on the list. No matter how fierce the internal struggle was, at least in the eyes of outsiders, they were united. Of course, it was irrelevant to discuss these issues now.

No matter what their status was, from the moment they boarded SS Origin, everything was no longer related to them.

“Take a few more looks, you won’t see it in the future.”

“…we will come back again.”

“Come back again? Haha, at that time, I’m afraid that the Liu Manor won’t be the same Liu Manor.”

The old man smiled and shook his head. A trace of reluctance flashed through his cloudy pupils.

But in the end, he shook his head, said nothing, and dragged his dying body towards the hibernation room.

…

Los Santos, in a marble mansion by the ocean, a drunk man was kicked off the bed by a long, tanned leg.

“It hurts, it hurts… Hiss… Jennifer? What are you doing? A new way to say good morning?”

“DAMMIT, WE MISSED THE FLIGHT! You liar, didn’t you say that you have a ticket?! You also said that an aerospace plane would come to pick you up on the ship?” The messy-haired Jennifer jumped off the bed and grabbed Robert by the collar. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with menacing red lines.

“I didn’t lie to you, did you want the ticket…let me look for it, he did send me one.”

“You liar, you don’t even know Jiang Chen. The President of Celestial Trade used to buy arms from you? He also went through the Iraqi desert with you? Oh… God, I should not have believed those rumors. Robert’s words cannot be trusted, you’re full of lies.”

“Burp—found it.” Robert took out a crystal card from under the pillow and rubbed his messy hair while he muttered, “I can’t believe I threw it under the pillow. I already said I don’t lie to women.”

Jennifer leaped forward and violently snatched the crystal card from Robert’s hand.

“Don’t do this, babe, it’s just a ticket stub, and I already sold the identification chip in it… I asked that generous guy to let me keep this thing as a souvenir. I want to treat it as a family heirloom. For my daughter…or son.”

What Robert wanted to say was that even if you took this thing to Celestial Trade, SS Origin would have already flown away.

“You sold it?” Jennifer was stunned.

“Yes.” Robert nodded earnestly, a smile that he thought was quite charming appeared on his face, “I sold it for a good price, and a generous rich man was willing to buy it from me for 50 billion World Dollars. I have already contacted Forbes and they will consider placing me on the next issue of the world’s richest people list, and spend a whole page to introduce me, the new billionaire.”

“Next issue? Are you an idiot? Will there be another issue?” Jennifer said desperately while she avoided Robert’s hug. She punched and scratched his chest while she said, “You stupid fool, you said you love me, but you…”

One ticket could accompany one adult and two minors.

To be honest, Jennifer didn’t love Robert at all, and the reason why she agreed to be with him was so she could get on SS Origin. But now, Robert just told her that he sold the ticket, just to exchange for a pile of papers that could be worthless by tomorrow…

He has gone insane!

“There will be, trust me.” Roberts put his hand on Jennifer’s shoulder and smiled, “Because now the owner of Forbes is me, I bought them.”

It was not just money that depreciated.

There were companies’ stocks that depreciated faster than money…

“You lunatic! You’re unreasonable!”

Jennifer cussed out while she grabbed a piece of cloth, draped it on herself, stormed out, and slammed the door. She left so fast that she even forgot to put on her underwear…

Actually, it did not matter.

The end of the world was here, why still care about that stuff?

“Hey! Don’t do that, I’m not kidding… Sh*t, you will regret it! I SWEAR!”

Robert yelled out as a last attempt to convince her to stay as he watched the supercar drive off from the window.

When he saw that the car did not come back, he shook his head helplessly.

“Fu*k…. my new car.”
