Chapter 261


    Howls echoed across the neighbourhood, but nobody responded.


    The three of them left the scene with an air of nonchnce, as if they had merely been out for a


    stroll.


    Monkey and his crew, who had witnessed the whole spectacle, were nearly ck-jawed in shock.


    Holy cow! How did that happen?


    Bran was left dumbstruck. Who would have thought such formidable characters resided in their


    neighborhood, seemingly on par with the elite soldiers from the military base?


    Twenty supposed security guards couldn’t eveny a finger on them. What good were they?


    The wounded man was kicked off the hood of the car, and Bran tried to move the airbag aside, only


    to find that the car wouldn''t start. Damn, the car was broken!


    Worse still, his three super off-road vehicles had mysteriously disappeared. This was hisst one.


    What the hell!


    To think of all the money and connections he had spent to get those cars, especially the Paramount


    Marauder, the wildest armored car in the world. This was the first one in the country, and he had it.


    In a fit of rage, heshed out with his foot. Those were his cars!


    If he ever found out who had stolen them, he would make sure to get his revenge.


    “Ouch!” Sounded like he twisted his foot.


    As Bran pulled his foot back, he noticed his sandal was caught. Damn, even his sandal was broken.


    Those were 20,000-dor sandals, and hisst pair, too.


    He angrily pounded on the steering wheel, the honking rm piercing through the air.


    This certainly caused quite the stir among the wealthy residents who had witnessed the trio’s brutal


    disy.


    Who were these people residing in Unit 50?


    Even the little girl, with her soft and beautiful features, turned out to be a fierce powerhouse,


    breaking a man''s jaw with a single kick. They had even incapacitated their bodyguards. Clearly,


    they had zero respect for the Porras family.


    Could they be involved with the underworld? Heavens, how could such elements infiltrate their


    peacefulmunity? What would they do now?


    They needed toe up with a n. Now, they needed to stay calm and see what the Porras


    family would do.


    The other wealthy residents, who had always looked down on thest two vis, rushed to hide in


    their houses at the sight of the people from Unit 50 approaching.


    Back at Unit 50, the heavy wooden door was opened to reveal an excited Cooper.


    After washing their hands and wiping their faces, Jasper asked Ste, “Are you hurt?”


    “Just a bunch of nobodies,” Ste nonchntly said, “All show and no substance.”


    They walked around like they owned the ce, but when push came to shove, they crumbled like


    sands. They were clearly here just for the paycheck.


    “Rosie, how about you?”


    Rosie shook her head at Jasper''s question, “I’m fine, big brother.”


    The dog, smelling the blood on his trainer, was immediately agitated. He had missed a fight!


    All this excitement had made them hungry. It was time for dinner. They had roast pork, chicken with


    mushrooms, stir-fried crab, and some greens.


    Rosie happily ate her meal, “The veggies I nted are ready to be plucked.”


    “Great job, Rosie. We''ll have your veggies for the next meal.”

    The vegetable seeds were a product of agricultural research. They had thick, wrinkled leaves filled


    with fibers. They didn''t look particrly appetizing, but they grew quickly and could withstand


    extreme weather conditions.


    That night, they had sweet potatoes, frost-resistant potatoes, and veggies. All of it was prepared by


    Rosie, with Ste guiding her.


    Knowing the value of resources, Rosie was extra frugal, even with cooking oil. As a result, the food


    was hard to swallow. But they had all experienced hunger, and none of themined. No food


    was to be wasted.


    That night, while they were watching a movie on the couch, their walkie-talkie buzzed. Austin’s


    voice came through, full of surprise, “What happened today? I just got back, and several people


    have already asked about you guys.”


    “Nothing much, just a little brawl.”


    “A brawl?” Austin sounded shocked, “Who did you fight?”


    “No, they tried to fight us.”


    “That’s impossible.” Ste was usually the one beating others up.


    Ste didn''t hide any details and recounted the day''s events. Austin was silent at first, then he said


    angrily, “Stay where you are. I’ming over.”


    The upper floor was their private sanctuary, so they could only entertain Austin on the first floor. It


    was clear that after today''s events, they would be at odds with the rest of themunity. Austin


    wanted toe over, likely because he shared their concerns.


    Austin arrived soon after, bringing his son, some peanuts, and beer. It seemed like he was nning


    on getting drunk.


    Ste had no choice but to get out the mini electric grill, and asked Rosie to harvest some chives,


    pick some eggnts, and get some corn.


    Dn promptly offered to help, “Rosie, I’ll help you.”


    As the two headed to the backyard, Dn took out a lollipop from his pocket, “Rosie, why have you


    been ignoring me?”


    Rosie smiled gently, “I’ve been sick and not feeling welltely, Dn.”


    “Is it because you don’t like them that you don’t y with me?” Dn suddenly held her hand, “I


    won’t y with them anymore. It’ll just be the two of us.”


    Actually, he didn''t like them very much either. Whenever he had food, they would gather around,


    staring at him with their mouths watering. They would touch his clothes with unwashed hands and


    sometimes even steal things.


    Dn knew that times were tough outside, and he didn''t really hate them. But whenever he was


    with them, he felt out of ce. His father, however, seemed to enjoy it and often invited his friends’


    children over. During the housewarming party, they had also surrounded Rosie, drooling at Cooper.


    “But…” Rosie hesitated, “I’m really busy. I can’t y with you every day.”


    “Then we’ll y when you’re not busy.”


    Rosie thought for a moment, “Okay, but I won’t be able to y for long.”


    Dn was delighted and handed her the lollipop.


    The dried squid was quickly grilled, its fragrance filling the room. Torn into small pieces and dipped


    in soy sauce, it was crunchy and delicious.


    Three years into the apocalypse, Austin didn''t expect the high society to be so exclusive. So what if


    they were high society? They were all human beings. What was so special about them?


    “After three years into the apocalypse, most people have be quite courteous. But now that


    we''re all living in the same area, thepetition andparisons have started again.


    “They had supplies, some even had minor connections with the government, but nothing


    substantial. It always seemed like the wealthy big mouths were the ones stirring up trouble.


    “But the Porras family was different. Their ties with the government were solid, and they had


    significantly contributed to the development of Newtown.


    “This time around, the return of the Porras family was facilitated by the government. They not only


    permitted the Porras family''s bodyguards to bear arms, but also designated a vast piece ofnd in


    Newtown for them. They were to assist in revitalizing the industry, setting up factories and


    ntations, to foster Newtown''s economic growth and job creation.


    "Today, you guys fought hard, incapacitating their bodyguards. I''m worried the Porras family won''t


    let this go so easily. You should stay vignt."
