A sudden slap sent Fang Yuyang's face flying to the side.

The air was quiet for a moment.

Fang Yuyang quickly realized that he had been hit by a stranger, and he shouted angrily, "Why did you hit me?"

Qiao An'an slapped Fang Yuyang twice more, using so much force that her own hands turned red. After hitting him, she was still not satisfied and coldly rebuked him: "You are not even as good as Aunt Fang. She was willing to jump into the horde of corpses to buy you time before she died. What about you?"

What are you doing

Aside from collapsing to the ground trembling when your wife is giving birth on the brink of death, all you do is blame completely unrelated people.

Why shouldn't I hit a coward like you who can't even protect his wife and kids and tries to shift all the blame onto others?!

Fang Yuyang couldn't tell whether the burning pain on his face was from being hit by Qiao An'an or from shame. He couldn't accept that his mother and wife had left him one after another. After his reason clouded his judgment, he wanted to take his anger out on Chi Ming's daughter.

Qiao An'an's slaps brought him to his senses.

After Shen Zhou and Li Jianguo released him, he deflated like a punctured balloon, covered his face, and squatted on the ground, choking out, "It's my fault...it's all my fault..."

Seeing Fang Yuyang like this.

Shen Zhou didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

Seeing this, Grandpa Gu wrapped the bathed child up and shoved him into Fang Yuyang's arms, who was squatting on the ground: "You are the child's only family now. If you can't even protect the child that Nan Qiao risked her life to give birth to, then you are truly useless!!!"

The child burst into tears because of Grandpa Gu's action.

Looking at the crying child in his arms, Fang Yuyang finally regained some composure. He wasn't very good at taking care of children, and after trying to soothe the child for a long time, the child still wouldn't stop crying. He could only anxiously ask Grandpa Gu, "Why is he still crying?"

Grandpa Gu is almost eighty years old. Although he has never had children, he has raised his own children and Gu Bei. He has some experience: "They must be hungry."

Babies need to drink milk when they are hungry, but this is a prison. Even though the masked men later brought a lot of supplies, they were all adults, and there was no milk powder among the supplies.

Qiao An'an disliked Fang Yuyang, but the child was innocent, so she made some brown sugar water: "Let's feed him some brown sugar water to fill his stomach first!"

Shen Zhou was initially worried that Qiao An'an would make things difficult for Fang Yuyang, but seeing that Qiao An'an took the initiative to help, his worries lessened a bit.

Fang Yuyang awkwardly took the bowl and fed the child brown sugar water spoonful by spoonful.

The child sipped the brown sugar water with smacking sounds, which was very soothing. Fang Yuyang's brows softened as a result. After drinking three or four spoonfuls, the child refused to drink anymore and fell into a deep sleep with his eyes closed.

Looking at his sleeping child, Fang Yuyang was filled with remorse. This was the child that Qiao Qiao had risked her life for; he had to protect him.

Fang Yuyang was still lost in memories of Nan Qiao when Qiao An'an spoke again: "After you've finished feeding, take your child and leave!"

This surprised not only Fang Yuyang, but even Chen Zhou: "You really want to send him away?"

Is Chen Zhou unable to understand human language?

Qiao An'an felt she had made herself very clear, and she frowned slightly: "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Shen Zhou became anxious: "But he is Fang Yuyang, our former comrade-in-arms. Moreover, he has a newborn child with him now. Where will he go after he leaves?"

"I'm not the Leshan Giant Buddha, why should I care where he goes after he leaves?"

Qiao An'an raised her eyes and looked directly at Chen Zhou. "If I remember correctly, when we took over the prison before, we made an agreement that we would never harbor anyone who would threaten everyone's safety. In my opinion, Fang Yuyang's current behavior has already threatened everyone's personal safety. Shouldn't we get rid of someone like that?!"

The ship sank and choked.

They did indeed have an agreement back then.

But he still wanted to argue his point: "It was Yu Yang's impulsive act just now; he's not a bad person by nature..."

Qiao An'an raised her hand to interrupt Chen Zhou: "It was indeed his impulsive act just now. Fortunately, you and Li Jianguo stopped him in time. I just want to ask, what if he acts impulsively again next time, and you and Li Jianguo are not present? Tell me, besides you and Li Jianguo, who else here can stop him?"

Chen Zhou lowered his eyes: "The child is innocent. Can't we give him another chance?"

Chen Zhou spoke earnestly.

Xia Lanlan and Qin Chengguo were also somewhat moved.

Xia Lanlan, in particular, said: "He also has a newborn child with him, which is really pitiful."

It was precisely because Fang Yuyang had a child that she didn't kill him outright, but instead let him leave. Qiao An'an said coldly, "If you really feel sorry for him, you can leave with him and help him take care of his child!"

Xia Lanlan had indeed thought that once Yan Ling recovered and Shen Zhou left, she would go to the safe zone with Shen Zhou.

When she saw Fang Yuyang and the others running back in a daze, and Aunt Fang and Nan Qiao had even lost their lives, she no longer wanted to risk going anywhere. Although this was a prison, she had no worries about food, clothing, or daily necessities, and there were high walls so she didn't have to worry about zombies breaking in. She wasn't out of her mind, so why would she leave? "That's not my child. Why... why should I leave with him and help him take care of his child?"

Qiao An'an gave Xia Lanlan a look that said, "Shut up if you're not going to help."

Xia Lanlan shrank back in fright. Although Qiao An'an usually seemed kind and approachable, she had once killed Wu Jianxiong, that devil, with a single blow. Xia Lanlan didn't want to upset Qiao An'an, so she immediately fell silent.

Fang Yuyang didn't want to put himself in a difficult position, but his child had just been born, and his child would die if he left. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Qiao An'an and pleaded, "I apologize for my mistake, but the child is innocent. I hope you can take us in for the sake of the child..."

Qiao An'an hadn't spoken yet.

Gu Bei jumped out and said, "Now you know the child is innocent? When you wanted to hit my sister Xiaoyu just now, why didn't you mention that the child was innocent? How can you be so hypocritical?"

Grandpa Gu tugged at Gu Bei, signaling him to say less, and then pulled Qiao An'an aside: "I don't really agree with you kicking Fang Yuyang out."

These days we've spent together.

Qiao An'an knew that Grandpa Gu considered things more comprehensively than they did, so she wasn't angry because his opinion differed from hers. Instead, she humbly asked, "Grandpa, can you tell me why you disagree?"

Grandpa Gu said, "Fang Yuyang and Shen Zhou are on good terms. If we don't let Fang Yuyang stay, Shen Zhou will definitely have a rift with us. Even Xia Lanlan and Qin Chengguo will think we are heartless. The most frightening thing in the apocalypse is not zombies, but alienation. If Fang Yuyang can take good care of his child after he goes out, that's fine. But what if his child dies and he takes his anger out on us and sows discord between us and Shen Zhou and the others?"
