Chapter 336: The Siege of the Apocalypse (13)

However, being squeezed by people in the back, and not being able to squeeze past Liu Meiyu, a woman who had just given birth and was physically weak, meant having to squeeze with others. This was incredibly uncomfortable for Gu Qingqing, but in order to maintain her persona, she couldn't say anything or complain.

"Do you have a destination in mind?" Wen Wan asked Chen Gong. Chen Gong replied, "No, we'll just take it one step at a time."

"Then why don't you go to the safe zone?"

Chen Gong: "We don't want to be bound. We have the ability, so why can't we create our own world?"

Wen Yan: "..."

This person still has even grander ideals.

"What about you? If you need to go to the safe zone, I can take you there first."

Wen Wan shook her head. "I'm not going to the safe zone. We'll just stick with you, Brother Chen."

Safe zone?

The male and female protagonists were there; she had finally escaped, how could she possibly go back in?

Gu Qingqing, who was behind them, suddenly spoke up, "Brother Chen, let's take them to the safe zone. I heard that the current leader of the safe zone is named Gu Yan. I know him; he's my brother."

"What?" Bai Tian exclaimed, "Gu Yan is your brother? Didn't you say your whole family had disappeared?"

Gu Qingqing sighed, "My parents and brother have some misunderstandings and haven't been in contact for a long time. But my brother is a very good person, and I really want to see him again. So let's go to the safe zone. Besides, Brother Chen and Sister Meilan have just given birth and are still very weak. In addition, there is a baby who is not even a month old. I think it's a better decision to go to the safe zone to settle them down before we set off."

Chen Gong was thinking.

Wen Wan glanced at Gu Qingqing out of the corner of her eye, but she really didn't want to go back!

However, Gu Qingqing was not wrong. Meilan had just given birth, and if she didn't take good care of herself during her postpartum period, she would suffer from health problems later. Also, Lele was still an infant and it was not suitable for her to travel too much.

Chen Gong looked at Wen Wan and asked, "What do you think?"

Wen Wan: "To tell you the truth, Brother Chen, my ex-boyfriend is in the safe zone. We had some unpleasantness, and I don't want to see him."

Chen Gong: "..."

Chen Meilan didn't speak. She knew that it was best for her and her child to go to the safe zone. If they stayed with Wen Wan, they would only be a burden.

However, he didn't want Wen Wan to do things he didn't want to do because of the three of them, which made Wen Wan want to avoid it as much as possible, and it must have caused her serious emotional harm.

"I'll go with you, but I won't go into the safe zone. I'll wait for you outside." Chen Gong agreed, and the group changed direction and headed towards the safe zone.

Wen Wan is numb.

Touching the mask on her face, she wondered why she had gone back. She really had to deliver it herself.

"System, aren't you going to say something?"

System: [Will the host listen to me?]

Wen Yan: "..."

...

Along the way, they encountered several waves of zombies, but strangely, the zombies all avoided them. Even Chen Gong had never seen such a scene before. He glanced at Wen Wan beside him, who was wearing a mask and whose expression was not visible, but he had a strange feeling that all of this must be related to Wen Wan.

They finally arrived at the closest stop to the safe zone, a village, and Wen Wan asked Chen Gong to stop the car.

Chen Gong: "Are you sure you can manage alone? Why don't we go into the safe zone together?"

Wen Wan shook her head. "I'm not going in, and nothing will happen to me."

Chen Meilan got out of the car and hugged Wen Wan tightly. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, my two children and I would probably be dead long ago. Thank you so much. Xiao Sheng, come here."

Xiao Sheng hugged Wen Wan and asked, "Godmother, will we ever see each other again?"

"Of course we'll meet again."

Wen Wan was lying. It was best if they never saw each other again, because she didn't know what she would do if they did.

Wen Wan put a hundred crystal cores into a bag and handed it to Chen Meilan. "Here you go. You still have two children to raise. Having these things will make things much easier. Also, you can go to Gu Yan. He will help you."

“No, how can we take these crystal cores?” Chen Meilan refused. Wen Wan stuffed the bag into Lele’s arms. “If Sister Meilan still considers me Lele and Xiaosheng’s godmother, then don’t refuse, just accept it.”

In the end, Sister Meilan accepted it.

Chen Gong had no choice but to leave with his men, but he left Bai Tian behind. "It's not safe for you to be a young lady alone. Let Bai Tian go with you. He's quite capable and can protect you in a critical moment. We'll come and meet up with you in a few days."

Wen Wan did not refuse.

Soon everyone got into the car and left. Wen Wan looked at Gu Qingqing, who seemed very happy, holding Chen Gong's hand.

Let's find a place to stay temporarily.

The village had long been deserted, and there was no one there. The best house they found turned out to be the village chief's house. However, there was no food in it; it was just an empty house. Wen Wan simply made a bed, and Bai Tian cleaned the house and went to another room to make a bed.

"Sister Wen, tell me the truth. You said we're facing a bloody disaster. Is it related to one of us?" Bai Tian suddenly asked. Wen Wan paused, and this reaction clearly indicated that Bai Tian had gotten the answer.

"Who is it? It can't be Brother Chen. Qi Sheng and Guan Qi are brothers for many years, and they've been through thick and thin together. It can't be anyone else. So there's only one person: Gu Qingqing, Brother Chen's girlfriend. I noticed that you've been paying close attention to Gu Qingqing the whole way. Your eyes were very complicated many times, especially when you saw her being close to my brother. So the bloodshed you predicted we'd have is because of Gu Qingqing?"

Wen Yan: "..."

Bai Tian was indeed the smartest person in that group.

"We met Gu Qingqing on the road. Her team of superhumans was attacked by a zombie horde and they all died. She escaped alone. In fact, how could someone without any superhuman abilities escape from a zombie horde? But my older brother likes her. I didn't think about it carefully. Now the more I think about it, the stranger it seems. Although my older brother is quite capable, it's not like he would fall in love at first sight. After all, he's just average-looking."

Wen Wan: "Is it really okay for you to criticize your older brother like this? In the apocalypse, ability is the only thing that matters for survival, and looks don't matter much."

Is that her?

Wen Wan laughed, "If I said yes, what are you going to do? Kill her? Aren't you afraid your older brother will fight you to the death? I can tell that your older brother really likes Gu Qingqing now."

Bai Tian: "..."

"Aren't you good at fortune telling? Can you give me some advice?"

Wen Wan shook her head. "I don't know. Everyone has their own destiny. Maybe Gu Qingqing will find her brother and won't want to wander around with your older brother anymore?"

After all, according to the original plot, Gu Qingqing killed several groups of people after Chen Gong and his group died before she could enter the safe zone and meet Gu Yan. She didn't believe Gu Yan would amount to anything before, since Gu Yan was a modern-day beauty, strong, and tragic figure with extremely complicated family relationships.

Now everything has changed, and Gu Qingqing has a very high chance of staying in the safe zone.

Bai Tian suddenly felt enlightened. "You're right. If she really has ulterior motives and doesn't love my brother, then once we enter the safe zone, and her brother is still the legendary Gu Yan, she definitely won't want to come out with my brother. If she's willing to go with my brother, then it proves that she still loves him, and your prediction might not be accurate."

Wen Wan: "Let's wait and see."

A few days later.

Chen Gong returned, and Bai Tian glanced to his side. To his surprise, Gu Qingqing was nowhere to be seen. His elder brother looked very unwell and pulled Qi Sheng aside to ask, "Where is Gu Qingqing?"

“My sister-in-law said she didn’t want to be a burden to my brother, so she stayed in the safe zone so that he could work hard outside and then come back to pick her up.”

"grass."

Qi Sheng: "???"

What are you doing?

"She's dumped our big brother! What nonsense about picking her up?"

Qi Sheng: "It can't be that bad. I saw her crying quite sadly when she left her older brother."

Bai Tian flicked Qi Sheng on the forehead, "Are you stupid! You've never been in a relationship, so you can't see women clearly."

Qi Sheng: "You understand? You've been single for thirty years too."

Bai Tian: "..."

Come on, let's hurt each other!

"But this is a good thing."

"What's the meaning?"

Bai Tian didn't continue speaking, but instead comforted his elder brother, "There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one? Brother, let's go. When we achieve success, there will be plenty of women."

He was beaten up by Chen Gong as soon as he finished speaking.

When Wen Wan asked Guan Qi about Chen Meilan and the others, Guan Qi said, "Sister Meilan and her son and daughter have all been accepted and even assigned a dormitory. They also received some baby supplies and are in good condition."

Wen Wan was relieved.

Soon, Wen Wan urged everyone to leave quickly, as she didn't want any complications.

After leaving the village, they got into the car and prepared to leave, but were stopped. Wen Wan, who was stopping them, glanced over and saw a familiar face. Why was Wu Yong back?

I quickly touched my mask; thankfully, it was still there.

"Angkor, is there anything else?"

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Captain Gu was worried that you might encounter danger on the way, so he gave you a thousand crystal cores as a thank you for bringing Miss Gu back."

A thousand crystal cores, that's really a generous offer. Chen Gong didn't want it. "You just need to take good care of Qingqing. We don't want these, and it's not for these things."

Wen Wan let out a soft cry.

"We'll take it."

Wu Yong looked over, but Wen Wan pretended not to know him. "Why won't you accept it? This is Captain Gu's kind offer, we can't let it go to waste."

Before Chen Gong could say anything more, Bai Tian carried him away, saying, "Please thank Captain Gu for us."

Then they drove away.

Chen Gong was about to say something when Bai Tian stopped him, "Didn't you notice? Wen Wan's face changed as soon as she heard the name Captain Gu."

"What's the meaning?"

"Didn't Wen Wan say that her ex-boyfriend, that scumbag, is in the safe zone? I suspect it's Gu Yan."

"No way, Gu Yan doesn't seem like a scumbag?"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Anyway, if Wen Wan wants to take us in, we'll take her in. We still need Wen Wan to avoid that bloody disaster."

Chen Gong: "..."

In the end, Chen Gong did not refuse again, but handed the crystal core to Wen Wan. Wen Wan gave half to Chen Gong and the others, and kept the rest for herself. She had no choice; compared to the others, she was really poor.

However, she didn't take it for nothing; all the food and drinks she ate and drank along the way were provided by Wen Wan.

Where do we go next?

Chen Gong: "I don't know for now. Can you help us figure out where we can get what we want?"

Wen Yan: "..."

It's also because she created such a strong persona that these people really treated her like a fortune teller. Wen Wan asked the system, and after analysis, the system finally selected a few places. Wen Wan then took out a map and pointed to a place.

Is there anything special about this place?

"I don't know, but God told me this is the place."

Chen Gong: "..."
