Rebirth In The Apocalypse As A Beastman

Chapter 10

 

Lin Yuzhe said, “I’ll be back soon. I wanted to return with him, but he said my animal form is a pigeon, and it’s too dangerous outside. So he asked me to come back first.”

 

Zhou Yiyi let out a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good, that’s good…”

 

Among the eleven of them, Wang Boming was the strongest. When he transformed into his animal form, he became a red fox. They can still have meat thanks to Wang Boming going out to hunt.

 

If something happened to Wang Boming, their survival would be at risk.

 

“We still have too few people. If we had more, we could go hunting together and gather more food. Our supplies at home are running low.”

 

“Is there really no way to convince Qin Jiulin? What if we visit him a few more times? Maybe he didn’t trust us the first time, but if we show him our sincerity repeatedly, he might agree to join us?”

 

“Yeah, at least he’s a guy, older than all of us, and stronger. Even if he comes to work with us, it would be great. Besides, he lives alone, right? Even if there isn’t much food, there should still be some leftovers like rice.”

 

“Then who should go?”

 

“I think Qi Yue should go. Qi Yue is only seventeen years old, the youngest among us. If he goes, Qin Jiulin might agree.”

 

Qi Yue, sitting in the corner, was stunned. “Me? You want me to go?”

 

Qi Yue seemed surprised, but everyone thought it was a good idea simply because, as that person said, he was the youngest.

 

Qi Jinglan said, “Ah Yue, why don’t you give it a try? Maybe Young Master Qin will be willing.”

 

Qi Yue was still hesitant. “But… but can I really do it? I’m not good at talking…”

 

Qi Jinglan looked at the man beside her. “Qiufeng, can you persuade my brother? It’s just going to talk to Young Master Qin for a bit, not a big deal.”

 

Duan Qiufeng nodded, and Qi Jinglan gave up her seat, letting him sit next to Qi Yue. After all, Duan Qiufeng is now Qi Yue’s boyfriend.

 

“A Yue?”

 

Qi Yue looked at Duan Qiufeng, feeling a bit uneasy. “Brother Duan, are you also suggesting that I go?”

 

Duan Qiufeng replied, “I’ll accompany you.”

 

Qi Yue blinked. “Is that so…”

 

Duan Qiufeng smiled slightly. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you, so there won’t be any problems.”

 

Qi Yue smiled back at him. “Okay, then… I’ll go. But Brother Duan, you must not deceive me.”

 

Duan Qiufeng assured him, “Don’t worry. However, Zhou Yiyi and the others already went once today. It might not be favorable to go again. It’s better to wait until tomorrow.”

 

Qi Yue had no objections, and when everyone saw that Qi Yue agreed, they had no objections either. Of course, they didn’t plan to let Qi Yue go alone. After all, he was only seventeen years old. What if he encountered danger while being alone outside?

 

With his boyfriend and sister by his side, they didn’t need anyone else to worry about.

 

The next day, around noon, Qi Yue was accompanied by Duan Qiufeng. Just as they were about to open the door to leave, Qi Jinglan followed, saying, “I’m a bit worried when you two go out. It’s better if I go with you. As a woman, I don’t

 

 think Young Master Qin will make things difficult for me.”

 

Qin Jiulin hadn’t eaten much the day before yesterday, so he didn’t go out to find food yesterday. He simply ate some random things at home. Shapeshifters didn’t need to eat every day. As long as they ate enough to be full, they could go without eating much for one to two days.

 

But today, he planned to go out to find food. However, just as he was about to set off, the doorbell rang, indicating that someone had arrived.

 

He was planning to go out anyway and didn’t want to waste time, so he opened the door and walked to the large iron gate to see the three people outside. But when he saw who it was, he showed a look of shock.

 

However, he quickly regained his calm expression. “Did Zhou Yiyi send you?”

 

Duan Qiufeng and Qi Jinglan looked at Qi Yue, who seemed very shy and lacked confidence. But he still managed to stutter, “Y-y-you… Hello, Mr. Qin…”

 

Qin Jiulin immediately understood what they were planning, and his gaze became even colder.

 

“Who are you? Do you have business with me?”

 

Qi Yue actually had some social anxiety. If it weren’t for his sister and boyfriend being here, he might not even be able to speak to Qin Jiulin.

 

Qi Jinglan saw that Qi Yue was trembling and continued, “We weren’t sent by Zhou Yiyi. We came on our own. Actually…”

 

Qin Jiulin raised his hand to stop her from continuing, “If you came to persuade me to join you, then forget it. I’ll say it again, I like being alone, so don’t disturb me.”

 

Qi Jinglan said, “Mr. Qin, please don’t be so decisive. We don’t know when the military will come to rescue us, and the population in this neighborhood is small. This is the time when we need unity. It’s too dangerous to be alone. There are some half-shifters in this neighborhood…”

 

Qin Jiulin interrupted, “Where are they?”

 

Qi Jinglan was momentarily stunned by his question. After thinking for a moment, she said, “We didn’t gather this intelligence ourselves. If Mr. Qin wants to know, you can come with us and ask Wang Ge or Lin Ge. They will definitely tell you.”

 

Qin Jiulin smiled, “So you’re saying if I don’t go with you or agree to your terms, you won’t tell me the location of the half-shifters. If I encounter them and die when I’m alone, it’s my own fault?”

 

Qi Jinglan blinked awkwardly, “Mr. Qin, I… I didn’t mean that…”

 

Qin Jiulin sneered, “Enough, I understand your attitude now. I don’t need any intelligence or information from you. You can leave now and never come back. It’s my own business if I encounter any danger outside. It has nothing to do with you. Whether I live or die is my own affair.”

 

Qi Jinglan looked at him with teary eyes, as if she had suffered great grievances. Qi Yue, watching his sister being mistreated by Qin Jiulin to the point of almost crying, became somewhat unwilling.

 

“Qin… Mr. Qin, please don’t say that. My sister… My sister didn’t… didn’t mean that. Don’t misunderstand…”

 

Qin Jiulin looked at Qi Yue with a complex gaze. “Wang Ge and Lin Ge, are they the two among the eleven of you who can fully shift?”

 

Qi Yue was taken aback but nodded, “Yes, they… they are very powerful. Would you like to go and see?”

 

He had

 

 a bit of social anxiety, but he wasn’t a fool. He could tell that Qin Jiulin’s gaze toward him was somewhat complex, but he didn’t understand what it meant, and he didn’t dare to ask.

 

Qin Jiulin pointed at Duan Qiufeng, “What’s your relationship with this person?”
