29 Bringing the New Employee Home

After about half an hour of rapid driving, we finally returned to the base. Noah controlled the motorcycle to leap over the high wall, speeding into the residential area and stopping in front of the villa door.

"We're here," he announced.

Liu Hui wobbled off the bike, slightly dizzy from the lightning-fast ride. Qiaoqiao fared slightly better, though she was still pale from the speed.

Before Noah could knock on the door, Liu Xiaoyu and Xue Qingyu rushed out. Liu Xiaoyu, with a coquettish tone, ran over, "Husband, you're back..."

She stopped abruptly a few steps later. What's going on? Why are there two other women besides Noah, one adult and one child?

Liu Xiaoyu hurriedly said to Xue Qingyu, "They don't look like Su Xiaoyan to me..."

Xue Qingyu nodded, "Hmm, not Su Xiaoyan."

"Oh, good, as long as it's not her."

Noah ushered everyone inside, "Let's go in."

Staying outside for too long could attract a flock of bloodthirsty crows. Dealing with the crows wasn't too troublesome, but it was the worry of being targeted that was bothersome. The thought of having to sneak attack them every time you went out was troublesome.

Back in the living room, Noah took a commanding seat on the sofa. "Don't just stand there, have a seat."

Xue Qingyu brought over some glasses of water. "Thank you," "Thank you, sister," the mother and daughter quickly expressed their gratitude.

"You're welcome," Xue Qingyu responded with a warm smile, quietly sitting next to Noah.

"Let me introduce you, this is Sister Liu Hui, the chef I specially hired. From now on, she will be in charge of all our meals," Noah explained.

"This is Yu Qiaoqiao, Liu Hui's daughter, who will be our apprentice maid, responsible for cleaning and tidying up the house."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaoyu and the others understood. So, this was what Noah was busy with - bringing back a cook and a little maid.

They didn't have much to say about it. As long as it wasn't Su Xiaoyan, they were relieved.

The key point was that it was Noah's decision, and they wouldn't interfere. In this household, Noah had the absolute say and a veto power. Both of them also needed to devote a lot of time to practice their special abilities, so having someone to help with the housework was indeed a good thing.

"Welcome to our little family. My name is Xue Qingyu, and I'm pleased to meet you," she said.

"I'm Liu Xiaoyu. Welcome," she added.

Seeing the two beautiful girls in front of her, Liu Hui couldn't help but glance at Noah, pondering the relationship among them in her heart, "Thank you, I will work hard."

Qiaoqiao tilted her head, "Are both of you his wives?"

Qiaoqiao's words were startling.

Noah spit out his drink in surprise.

Xue Qingyu, with an awkward expression, didn't know how to explain.

Liu Xiaoyu, however, said with a chuckle, "Not yet."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener had her thoughts. Liu Hui murmured in her heart, 'Not yet, so that means they will be in the future.' But after thinking about it, it made sense. Not to mention Noah's almost divine abilities, just his handsome appearance was enough. In this chaotic post-apocalyptic world, it was normal for such a god-like man to have several close female friends.

In Liu Hui's eyes, Noah held a very high position in her heart, almost like a figure to look up to. Even her gaze towards Noah was mixed with a sense of inexplicable admiration and reverence. A feeling of seeing Noah as a belief was gradually taking root in her heart.

Whatever Noah did, there must be a reason for it.

Later, Noah arranged two rooms for the mother and daughter, and took out a bunch of clothes from a wide-space storage for them to choose from, followed by some women's products... During this time, he accidentally took out a silicone gadget, previously confiscated from someone. Noah quickly took it back to avoid any damage to his image.

Noah was quick, but he couldn't escape Liu Hui's observant eyes. Liu Hui blushed at the sight. With several vibrant young ladies around, such a thing shouldn't be necessary...

If Noah knew what Liu Hui was thinking, he would definitely cry foul. That gadget really wasn't his. Well, it wasn't initially, but now it technically was his, although he sincerely hadn't used it. 

Since his rebirth, he has been overwhelmingly busy every day, barely sleeping more than twice, not to mention anything else.

"Sister Liu Hui, you can rest tonight and start cooking tomorrow. Tell me whatever ingredients you need. I lack everything except for ingredients. As long as you can cook it well, we have both Yangtze River knife fish and Yellow River carp," he offered.

"Thank you for your concern, boss, but I prefer to start working today."

"There's no need to be so formal, just call me Noah. You can familiarize yourself with the surroundings first; I need to go out for a bit."

After settling the mother and daughter, Noah once again left the house.

Today, he had already encountered a Witch-level zombie; who knows what tomorrow might bring, not to mention the crow flock might increase tenfold.

Just thinking about that scenario made his scalp tingle.

He planned to thoroughly explore the Jindragon Reservoir within today.

After tomorrow, he would not go out, planning to lay low for half a month until the second phase of the first apocalypse began.

Then, mounting his racing motorcycle, he headed towards the outskirts of the city, aiming for the Jindragon Reservoir.

As Noah gradually moved away from the city center, the density of zombies began to decrease.

Conversely, the number of survivors he encountered started to increase, as many people had fled the city at the onset of the apocalypse.

In the vast countryside fields, there were significantly fewer zombies, making it safer. For a short time, one could survive on wild vegetables and grasses without starving to death. However, as time passed, the downside of scarce outdoor food resources gradually became apparent. The large number of survivors would quickly deplete the limited resources of wild vegetables and crops.

At this point, one had either to continue suffering from hunger and cold in the wilderness, eating tree bark and insects to cling to life, or to risk heading into the city, slowly advancing to search for supplies hidden within.

The danger was accompanied by the potential reward of substantial supplies. Thus, many survivors gradually returned to the edges of the city, entering the city at dawn to scavenge for supplies and retreating to its outskirts to spend the night. Yet, they dared not approach the city center, which had become a veritable hell on earth, completely dominated by zombies.

During this time, many survivors spontaneously formed small teams. In these teams, everyone had a role: some were responsible for finding food, others for keeping watch, some for fending off zombies, and others for taking turns...

The world was gradually changing into one he recognized. It must be said, humans are truly a remarkable species. They are fragile, susceptible to death from illness, a fall, a small cut leading to infection, and yet, under high-pressure environments, they can display an incomprehensible resilience, thriving like weeds that refuse to die.
