Chapter 11: Return to the Apocalypse

The manager's temper flared up when he heard Wang Bin's words. He wanted to call security to drag this pretentious guy out and give him a beating, but his excellent professional ethics held him back.

"Sir, may I ask what price range you're looking for in a house?" The manager had made up his mind. Since you claim our houses are too low-end, I'll expose your bluff and embarrass you in front of everyone.

"At the very least, a villa worth over twenty million is worthy of me!" Wang Bin replied with a faint smile.

Hearing Wang Bin's words, the manager involuntarily clenched his fist, barely resisting the urge to punch him.

The people around gasped at Wang Bin's words. This guy was really blowing hot air, claiming that only a house worth at least twenty million was good enough for him. Who does he think he is?

"Sir, we have newly built villas near Emerald Lake, starting at just twenty million. If you'd like to see them, we can take you there. However, could you show us proof of your ability to purchase?"

"Of course, no problem. But if I provide evidence of my capability, those three must crawl around the sales hall on their knees three times!" Wang Bin said, pointing to Sister Liu and the two security guards standing nearby.

"No problem, as long as you can prove your capability, you'll be our most esteemed guest!"

"Alright, let me show you my bank account."

Wang Bin opened an app, revealing a balance of nearly seventy million on the card.

"This is just one of my accounts with the least amount of money. I have several others like this. Do you need to see more?"

Seeing the balance on Wang Bin's card, the manager's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn. He bowed to Wang Bin with a smile.

"Sir, I apologize for the inconvenience. From now on, you are our most esteemed guest. You three, hurry up and apologize to our most esteemed guest!"

"We're sorry, please forgive us!"

Although the three hadn't seen the balance on Wang Bin's card, the manager's expression made it clear it was definitely more than twenty million.

"Manager, does our bet still stand?"

"Of course, it still stands! You three, get down and crawl around the hall three times. No, make it thirty times. Better yet, a hundred times! Sir, are you satisfied with my handling of this?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied!"

"Sir, please, I'll take you to see the villa!"

The three didn't dare defy the manager's orders and quickly knelt down, crawling around the hall.

Wang Bin glanced at the three, smiled faintly, and followed the manager.

Soon, the manager led Wang Bin to the villa area. After looking at a few villas, Wang Bin immediately took a liking to one facing Emerald Lake.

"How much is this villa?"

"This villa has a better view, so it costs forty million!"

"Not expensive, I'll take this one! I'll pay now. When can I move in, and when will the property deed be ready?"

"You can get the keys now. If you pay in full, we can offer you a five percent discount. The property deed will take about half a month."

"Alright, I'll pay in full then!"

"Great, let's go back and handle the paperwork now?"

"Sure!"

Wang Bin agreed and followed the manager back to complete the paperwork.

A five percent discount meant saving two million. Although it wasn't a huge amount to him, it was still significant enough to save.

Back at the sales office, Sister Liu and the two security guards were still crawling around the hall.

Wang Bin glanced at them and then followed the manager to handle the paperwork.

To expedite the process for Wang Bin, the manager called in several people to help, quickly completing all the paperwork.

After transferring the money, the manager respectfully handed over the keys and entry card with both hands.

As Wang Bin left, the manager and others escorted him to the gate.

With the house bought, Wang Bin decided to move his things immediately. When he returned to the dormitory, it was still empty. He packed up his jewelry, air gun, and detonators, hailed a cab at the campus gate, and headed straight to the villa.

After settling his belongings, he went out to buy food for the post-apocalyptic world tonight, and also bought a phone, ten power banks, a dagger, and a machete for Guan Xiaoyue.

Having bought a house, Wang Bin should have invited You Hongfei and Li Xingping over for a meal, but he had important matters to attend to tonight and couldn't host them. He decided to invite them another day.

He was very worried about Guan Xiaoyue's safety. In the modern world, one day equaled seven days in the post-apocalyptic world. He didn't know how Guan Xiaoyue had been these seven days, whether she had been caught by the Axe Gang, and so on. He was anxious and eager to teleport over immediately.

Time ticked by, and soon the teleportation cooldown was over.

As soon as the time was up, Wang Bin chose to teleport.

"Alert, there is a living person within ten meters of your teleportation destination. Do you wish to proceed?"

"Ah, how many people? Male or female?"

"Only one person, a female!"

"Is it Guan Xiaoyue?"

"Yes!"

"Teleport immediately!"

With a swoosh, when Wang Bin opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in the room he had left earlier.

These days felt like years for Guan Xiaoyue, with Wang Bin suddenly disappearing.

But she remembered Wang Bin's words before he left, that he would return in seven days.

She had doubted Wang Bin, but every night she would sneak over to check if he had returned, only to be disappointed each time.

To avoid the Axe Gang's pursuit, she had suffered a lot these days, once nearly getting shot by them.

Today was the last day. If Wang Bin didn't appear, she didn't know what she would do next.

Now, Wang Bin had become her only motivation to survive.

As she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard movement in the next room and gripped her wooden stick tightly.

"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, where are you?"

"Brother Wang, I'm here!"

Hearing Wang Bin's voice, Guan Xiaoyue couldn't hold back her tears.

Hearing Guan Xiaoyue's voice, Wang Bin rushed out, just as Guan Xiaoyue ran into the room where he was, and they collided. Fortunately, Wang Bin caught her, or she would have fallen.

"Ah, Xiaoyue, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Brother Wang, I'm so glad you're back!"

With that, Guan Xiaoyue threw herself into his arms, sobbing.

Seeing the new wounds on Guan Xiaoyue, Wang Bin knew she had suffered a lot these days and quickly comforted her. After a while, Guan Xiaoyue stopped crying.

It was only then that she realized how much she relied on Wang Bin. Now, having cried in his arms for so long, her face turned red. Fortunately, it was night, and there was no light in the room, so Wang Bin couldn't see, avoiding embarrassment.

"Why do you have so many wounds? I brought some antiseptic and band-aids. Let's treat them."

"Thank you, Brother Wang!"

Guan Xiaoyue had seven or eight wounds, but most were just scrapes and not serious.

"Brother Wang, where have you been these days? I was so worried about you."

"I went to get food for you. This time, I brought an air gun and some detonators."

"What, you brought an air gun and detonators?"

"Yes, and lots of delicious food. Come, let's sit over there, and I'll show you!"

"Okay, okay!"
