Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: The Lu Family’s Downfall

Maybe it was because dealing with the robbers yesterday had been too exhausting, but Melody Summers slept fitfully all night. Scenes from her past life played out endlessly in her dreams.

"Melody, your three older siblings have never known hardship, but you’re used to living in the village. You should eat the sand vine cakes and give the other food to them."

"Sister, you grew up in the countryside, so you must be used to these chores. I want to help, but I’m afraid I won’t do a good job. I don’t want to get in your way."

"You don’t even have the Lancaster name! You’re an outsider, a worthless burden. You should be on your knees thanking us for taking you in. How dare you ask for anything else?"

"Melody, the Lancaster Family gave you your life. Now is the time for you to repay that debt."

"Melody, you must be tired after a long day. Here, Mom just poured you some water. Drink it..."

...

The moment she drank the water, Melody Summers jolted awake from her dream.

She opened her eyes to see the sky just beginning to brighten. Melody was dazed, her heartbeat exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Albus leaped out of his bed and onto Melody Summers’ side, asking with some concern,

"Host, are you alright? Your heart rate is abnormal."

Melody Summers took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She shook her head and replied, "I’m fine. Just had a nightmare."

Albus rubbed against Melody Summers’s hand and said comfortingly,

"It’s all in the past now."

Melody Summers stroked Albus’s head and hummed softly in agreement.

Seeing that it was still early, Melody Summers didn’t rush to get up. She picked up the phone from her bedside table to check the group chat. As expected, everyone was in a panic over the robbers who had forced their way into The Metropolis Residences last night:

"3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two: Oh my god, that was terrifying! This is practically a terrorist attack, isn’t it? Why would something like this happen?"

"4-1009 Lowell On Deadline: It’s just that our area has been relatively peaceful. Downtown has seen a lot of robberies and murders every day recently. I don’t dare to get separated from the crowd on my commute. It’s really dangerous to be alone now."

"5-1107 Azure: That’s right. A colleague of mine was working overtime and heading home late. The unthinkable happened on their way back. A perfectly fine person, just gone like that."

"4-1209 Slacking Off: This is insane! Those bastards! They actually rammed their way in with a truck and started grabbing people as soon as they broke through! I was just outside catching Sandvine Worms. If I hadn’t been fast enough to scramble up to the 12th floor and lock my door, I can’t even imagine what would have happened!"

"3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two: You were definitely fast, but didn’t they take two hostages? How are those hostages doing now?"

"4-1209 Slacking Off: Those two hostages are from our building. They’ve been rescued. I heard they were just knocked unconscious. They should be fine once they wake up.

"3-1007 Kiki, Mom of Two: Oh, good. As long as no one was seriously hurt. Thank heavens."

"2-1908 Coco: Who said no one was hurt? Those robbers who ran into the residential area to break into apartments hacked and wounded several residents who didn’t make it back home in time. Those people deserve to die."

"7-901 Adventurous Lawson: I was almost hacked by one of them. I was too slow and they caught up to me! Luckily, I ran into a residents’ patrol team. A guy on the team had a homemade shield and jumped in to block the blow for me. Another woman had a homemade spear—every inch of length adds an inch of strength. They worked together to pin the robber to the ground and stab him, which is the only reason I managed to escape."

"4-1209 Slacking Off: Those guys are the real deal. It’s a good thing we have a residents’ patrol. The property management security guards alone probably couldn’t have handled so many people."

"5-601 Ocean: Is that residents’ patrol team still recruiting? I want to join. Those goddamn bastard robbers! They actually hurt my wife and kid!"

"5-601 Ocean: We can’t afford the hospital right now, so we could only get them disinfected and bandaged up at the emergency response office. They’re both in so much pain. Death is too good for those robbers! I’m signing up for the patrol team. If more robbers show up, I’ll fight them to the death!"

"7-901 Adventurous Lawson: @5-601 Good luck, you’ve got this. I’m not going to sign up, though. I’m just not cut out for it. I was carrying a knife at the time, but when I came face-to-face with those robbers, the thought of even drawing it never crossed my mind. There was only one thing in my head: run! I’m so useless."
