Chapter 264
Ste heard but didn''t pay much attention to it.
Walking Cooper at the doorstep, the security patrol happened to pass by. The captain stopped to
say hello, "Ste, your household hasn''t done the homeowner registration yet. We need to take a
photograph and input it into the system. When you get a chance, could youe by the security
booth?"
He also gave her the frequency for the walkie-talkie at the security booth. If homeowners needed
help, they could open the channel andmunicate promptly.
His attitude was nice, so Ste agreed.
With such contrasting attitudes, Jasper was suspicious of a catch. "I''ll go and register first, to see
what they''re up to."
Ste didn''t object. "Just be careful."
It should have taken no more than 15 minutes, but Jasper spent half an hour. Ste was puzzled.
"What took you so long?"
"The registration was quick, and I didn''t notice anything unusual about them. I walked around the
vi before I came back."
There were those who scrutinized them subtly, but it was noticeably more restrained than before.
Without any surprises, the unit 50 became famous in one go.
Pets also needed to be entered into the system. Jasper didn''t feelfortable letting Ste take
Cooper and Rosie out alone. "I''lle with you."
Getting ready for the photo, they didn''t forget to groom Cooper and Rosie a bit. The three of them
and the dog set out to the security booth to handle the entry and exit procedures.
Halfway there, they bumped into the patrolling security team. Suddenly someone in the team
eximed, "Mr. Jasper, Ms. Ste?"
The patrol team was in uniform, looking extra energetic.
Ste was startled. "Samuel?"

They didn’t expect to meet Christian''s son, formerly a resident of Eastwood Eden, in this way.
Samuel asked for permission to leave the formation, and the captain approved.
"Howe you''re working here?"
Samuel happily said: "Not just me, several of us are from Eastwood Eden. They''re on duty with me."
Thanks to Jasper''s selfless teaching, the students he personally trained were quite skilled. After
moving to Newtown, Samuel hadn''t found a suitable job and originally nned to apply for a patrol
officer at the police station. He identally saw that Hopefield was also recruiting, and the
conditions were very tempting.
Mark suggested that since Hopefield was a ce with less work but more food, and safety was
guaranteed, they could give it a try.
A total of 8 people were hired, with food and housing provided, and even 10 pounds of rice or flour
every month.
Samuel cherished this hard-earned job opportunity, especially being able to meet Jasper and Ste.
Ste asked, "How are Mark and the others doing?"
"They''re doing alright, the new neighbors on the fifth and sixth floors are quite easy going. We
installed a sr generator on the rooftop and nted potatoes and vegetables.
“Also, the city government came to find Mark and offered him a government job. He''ll get trade
coins every month, which can be used to purchase supplies.
“Mark initially refused, but the city government came several times, and he agreed to take the job. It
seems like his position isn''t low."
After numerous natural disasters, the number of government employees drastically reduced. Mark
was indeed a talent. With years of dealing with the higher-ups, it was not surprising that he was
discovered. People like him, with firm determination, were worth benefiting more survivors.
Ste couldn''t help but admire him.
After a brief chat, Samuel ran back to his team, and Ste headed to the security booth.
Neers brought a fresh approach, this batch of securities was noticeably more polite.
Registering names and house numbers, taking photos for records, the whole process took only a
few minutes. After that, they took Cooper for a walk.
There were saplings, including wildflowers and weeds, to restore life to thend as soon as
possible.
Somedy celebrated her birthday in unit 36, and many attractive men and beautiful women came
to join the lively pet party. There were all kinds of pets like corgi, Papillon, Persian cat, British
Shorthair, and... alpaca?
Cooper''s eyes widened as if he had discovered a new world. His bloodline awakening made him
somewhat uncontroble. However, under Jasper''s soothing touch, he immediately entered guard
dog mode - mature and stable, striding forward with vigor and courage.
The party was lively, especially when Bran made an appearance, the whole crowd was screaming.
No one noticed the alpaca walking out of the yard.
As Ste was walking, something suddenly appeared on her face, wet and warm. By the time she
realized what it was, she was stunned.
Then, the alpaca let out a yelp like a puppy. Cooper had already knocked down the alpaca, biting
and tugging at its leg.
Jasper called out, "Cooper."
The dog didn''t listen, biting the alpaca''s leg and not letting go. Blood quickly seeped out.
Ste quickly intervened, "Cooper!"
Cooper finally let go, but he was still filled with resentment, and lifted his leg to relieve himself on
the alpaca''s head and face.
The party was interrupted by the alpaca''s screams, and a group of young men and women came
out.
Seeing the scene, everyone gasped and covered their mouths, "Oh, My God!"
A girl rushed over, intending to hit the dog with a bag, "Mimi."
The dog dodged, bared his teeth at her.
Ste intervened again, "Cooper,e here."
Cooper finally returned to his owner''s side, but the vignce in his eyes did not diminish.
The girl turned to Ste and started shouting, "Are you sick, walking your dog without a leash. It hurt
my Mimi. My Mimi is of precious bloodline, an exotic pet from overseas, not something you
commoners can afford. Its life is worth much more than yours!"
Seeing Ste dressed in ordinary sportswear, she was even more rude, "If anything happens to
Mimi, your whole family won''t be enough topensate."
Her beloved pet was bitten and bleeding, her heartache was indescribable. She came up to Ste
and tried to p her, "You and your cheap dog, I can’t even look at you. Can you afford this?"
Jasper reached out to stop her, but Ste was faster. Before she could p Ste, Ste pped
her right back. Caught off guard, the girl was knocked to the ground, "Ah!"
"First of all, I did leash my dog, you didn''t see it because you''re blind. Secondly, your alpaca spat on
me first, and that''s why my dog bit it."
Ste stared at her coldly, "If your alpaca is so noble, why don''t you leash it, instead of letting it spit
on people? No matter how low my life is, it''s not as cheap as yours."
Alpacas spit as a stress response. Dogs protecting their owners was instinctive, but indeed, Cooper
overreacted.
There was no absolute right or wrong in this situation. Both parties should understand each other
and talk it out, and Ste could evenpensate for the medical expenses. But no, this girl came
up with personal attacks and even tried to hit Ste.
If she didn''t teach her a lesson, she''d feel as though she was doing her a disservice.
Three years into the apocalypse and she still had the audacity to y this high and mighty act?
Who the hell was she fooling?
The girl scrambled up, still spouting off. “What kind of proof do you have that Mimi spat on you?”
Ste felt a surge of fury. She yanked the girl to her feet by her cor, wiped her hand on her face,
and smeared it onto the girl’s mouth. “You want proof? Here, take a good whiff.”
Mimi''s saliva was not just saliva, but a mix of her stomach''s contents and her own spit. The smell
was overpowering. The stench hit her nostrils and the girl gagged immediately.
She tried to push Ste away, but when Ste got a good look at her face, she was taken aback.
Ste recognized that face. She had seen it somewhere before.
