In a zombie apocalypse, while survivors and zombies fought tooth and nail, Shu Lan hid in a garbage dump, using the stench to mask human scent and evade zombies. There, she gave birth to her human ...
Chapter 69 Play dice?
Huo Yu was a beat slow to think, and his first reaction was that this was not possible. He was kneeling all the time. How could there be such a humble teacher in the world?
Shu Maomao suddenly stood up and ran towards Shu Lan, opening his mouth wide: "Ah——"
Shu Lan was puzzled: "Don't you dislike eating?"
He bit into the cucumber and spit it out, saying it tasted weird.
"I vomited too quickly, Mommy, let me have another bite."
Shu Lan stuffed a mouthful into his mouth. Shu Maomao chewed it twice, frowned, and spit it out again: "It still tastes bad."
It smells nice, but tastes weird in the mouth, neither sweet nor sour, but a herbal smell.
The people on the ground kept humming and moaning. Shu Lan asked, "What are they going to say?"
The vines tied between the former mutant's teeth quickly retracted, and wailing, begging for mercy, and cursing immediately filled the area.
"Evil woman! I should have killed you the first time I saw you..."
"Huo Yu, you..."
"You dare to scold me!" Shu Lan laughed angrily: "Come here, baby, Mommy is closing her eyes."
Shu Maomao suddenly became alert, leaning against Shu Lan's body and standing up straight. In front of him appeared the mysterious six-sided dice, the size of a football, with a different pattern on each side.
He flipped his wrist, and the dice hovered in the air and spun for a while before finally stopping. The side facing up had antennae and spread wings, and was short and fat in the middle, looking a bit like a butterfly.
"What did you shake? Is it an octopus?"
Shu Maomao thought it must be the butterfly he saw in the book, so he replied, "Butterfly, Mommy."
Shu Lan felt relieved, opened her eyes and looked out carefully: "That should be very beautiful——"
What the hell!!! Whose butterfly has gray hair all over its body? Its antennae alone are three meters long, like a helicopter!
It had two large, protruding, pitch-black eyeballs, and a long mouthpart like a steel pipe. It inserted it into the abdomen of the person who cursed Shu Lan the most foully, and sucked the person into a dried corpse with only skin and bones.
The whole place was silent, and the cursing stopped abruptly the moment the monster arrived. The group of people didn't dare to breathe, for fear of attracting the monster's attention.
After sucking the person in, the monster flapped its heavy gray wings, turning the dust on the ground into a storm and returning to the void.
Shu Maomao removed the air barrier and calmly continued the previous topic: "Not beautiful, ugly."
Shu Lan's voice trembled: "Because it's a moth..."
She swore that she would never open her eyes in the middle of the conversation again.
A tied-up man on the ground trembled and said, "No, the moth I shook out was only as big as a washbasin..."
Hearing this, Shu Lan regained her energy, perked up, puffed out her chest and said proudly, "Of course, useful things are only useful when they are placed on useful people."
The man was confused by her: "What do you mean?"
Shu Maomao: "My mommy said you are useless."
man:"……"
A bit emo.
After watching the giant moth eat people, Shu Lan felt a little bit tired of eating the cucumber, but she didn’t want to waste food, so she held it in her hand and planned to add a dish of smashed cucumber for lunch.
She continued the topic she had just left unfinished: "How is it, Teacher Huo? Can you teach me?"
Huo Yu's mind kept recalling the giant moth he had just seen. He was close enough to clearly see how the person he hated had his internal organs and blood sucked out by the moth's mouthparts, turning him into a dried corpse.
It is difficult to describe the shock and fear at that moment. Human life goes from vibrant to dead in just a few breaths.
And what is he doing? He is slowly torturing others, while at the same time constantly reminding himself of the torture he has endured, and sharing the pain with those who have hurt him.
Huo Yu lowered his head, looked at his blood-covered hands, and suddenly didn't want to continue.
It's meaningless, not satisfying, and a waste of time.
They were not afraid of him, nor did they feel any regret for what they had done.
What these people feared was pain, power, and the threat of death. But the source of their fear did not come from Huo Yu, but from Qin Xiaoshuang and her son.
"Yes." Huo Yu's voice was a little louder, and he slowly raised his head.
Hard sticks, overwhelming trampling, scalding water poured over the head, verbal abuse, beatings...
These memories flashed through his mind quickly, and Huo Yu began to feel the pain coming out from the gaps between his bones and spreading to every corner of his body.
He was trembling and sweating, but Huo Yu still gritted his teeth and raised his head. His weak voice was very firm: "I can. When will I start teaching?"
He remembered how proud and high-spirited he once was, but the pain and humiliation made him forget himself temporarily, just like if you don't review the knowledge in the book for a long time, you will forget it temporarily.
There was no Lin Yi in front of him, and no evil person who beat him.
There was only a beautiful and gentle woman, holding a little boy who looked like her in one hand, looking at him quietly, with the background being the boundless open sky.
The sky is... so bright.
Shu Lan quickly made the decision: "It's not really school, there's no need to pick a good day. Just finish your work and start teaching."
Huo Yu threw away the nail in his hand and said, "I won't do it anymore."
The order is wrong.
What scared this group of people was Qin Xiaoshuang. They still didn't take his counterattack seriously. Everything they did now was just scratching the surface and meaningless.
He should have stood up first and mastered their fear himself.
“Only twice.”
"Well, I give up."
Shu Lan looked at Huo Yu's gloomy expression and felt that things would not end so easily. He must be secretly planning something again.
She said suspiciously, "If you give up now, I won't be partial to you next time."
Huo Yu lowered his eyelids to hide his thoughts and pursed his lips: "Well, and next time you just kill me directly."
Shu Lan was not the type to ask questions. From her observation of Huo Yu, she knew that although he hated her, he was still calm and sensible. So Shu Lan went down the stairs.
"Okay, let's go, Mr. Huo, and go find a table and chair for class."
The person who finally managed to escape being gagged shouted, "Don't go, Qin Xiaoshuang! Commander, can I be your subordinate?"
"And me, and me! Let me go, I will start a new life."
Their teammates cursed: "Where's your backbone? She took all your powers away, and you're still surrendering to her!"
"Talking about integrity is pointless. I need to survive. Commander, aren't you going to lead the troops to dig out the base? I have the strength, I'll dig!"
Shu Lan touched Shu Maomao's head and said lovingly, "Okay, baby, do you want to play dice again?"
The so-called backbone and resentment of being deprived of superpowers were no match for the terrifying giant moth.
"I beg for mercy too! I'm willing to dig the ground too!"
"Qin Xiaoshuang, I'm your Brother Zhao. Do you remember the good times we had chatting together? Please don't kill me. Please."
"Commander, sister, aunt, ancestor, I'll call you whatever you want to hear from now on."
No one would muster up the courage to seek death if they could live by surrendering, especially when they have been hungry for a long time, endured torture, and their will is at its weakest.
Shu Lan said slowly, "I'm afraid you'll bully me again. There's a saying that goes, 'It's hard to change one's nature, even though it's easy to change the landscape...'"
"Can move!"
"Be an honest man, don't bully women, don't bully the weak, understand?"
"Know!"
Shu Lan nodded: "Alright, those who answer the questions will be released, and those who try to fish in troubled waters without making a sound will be killed."
The person who was secretly competing with her changed his expression drastically, but it was too late to make amends, as the terrifying dice appeared again.
Some of the vines retracted into the soil, and the survivors crawled away, terrified and secretly glad.
Fortunately, they surrendered quickly. This woman was too scary and could not be offended in the slightest.
