Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508: Chapter 508: Death Comes Knocking

On the other end of the phone, Joanne White kept her voice low. "She’s in the plaza in front of the complex right now, and there’s a strange man with her..."

Melody Summers heard this and asked, puzzled, "A strange man? What does he look like?"

’Could it be Simon Lancaster?’

’Or maybe Robert or Silas Lancaster?’

Joanne White replied, "I don’t know him, but he looks a little familiar, like I’ve seen him somewhere before... Let me take a picture and send it to you!"

A few seconds later, a picture came through.

Melody Summers opened the photo. It showed a middle-aged man in his thirties with a square face.

Melody racked her brain but found she had no memory of the man in the photo.

On the other end of the line, Joanne continued, "The two of them are registering for housing with the other survivors. It looks like they’re planning to stay here. Do you need me to go over and try to get some information out of them for you?"

Melody thought for a moment and replied, "No, don’t. Since he looks familiar to you, maybe he actually knows you..."

Thinking about Joanne’s history of attracting the wrong kind of men, Melody felt there was a good chance this stranger was someone Joanne had gotten mixed up with before.

Recalling news stories about crimes of passion, she instinctively warned, "These are special circumstances. You should be careful. Don’t confront them directly. Just keep an eye on their movements for me."

After hanging up, Melody stared at the photo on her phone again but still had no idea who he was.

’Maybe he’s someone new Sylvia Lancaster found after she and Winston Sheffield split up.’

With that thought, Melody put the matter aside. She had other things to do today. The large batch of peaches and grapes she’d picked yesterday was still waiting to be shipped. After a quick meal, she returned to her space to get back to work.

Melody worked in her space until evening. As she was eating dinner, she got another call from Joanne White.

"I remember who that man is!" Joanne’s voice on the other end trembled with terror. "It’s Mr. Caelus! He’s Mr. Caelus!"

"What?!" Hearing the name, Melody gripped her phone tightly. "Are you sure it’s him?"

Joanne answered with certainty, "It’s him! He must have been in disguise before, which is why I didn’t recognize him right away."

Joanne’s words sent a shock through Melody—

She never would have imagined that Mr. Caelus, the subject of a nationwide manhunt, would brazenly appear at The Metropolis Residences. ’The audacity!’

Just as Melody was about to hang up and call the police, Joanne spoke again. "I just followed them secretly and overheard their conversation... They said they’re going to the villa district to find you after dark! To... to get rid of you!"

Melody: "..."

’Well, in that case, I won’t be calling the police...’

As night fell, Felix Ford and Sylvia Lancaster left the apartment building under the cover of darkness and made their way to the villa district.

Compared to the apartment blocks crowded with survivors, the villa district was much quieter. Aside from the wind and rain, there was hardly another sound.

Sylvia pulled her raincoat tighter around herself and said worriedly, "Mr. Ford, if that Melody Summers has already obtained the space, isn’t it very dangerous for us to go looking for her now...?"

It was no wonder Sylvia was worried. She knew the space had the ability to kill...
