Chapter 116: One wrong step leads to all wrong steps.



Seeing the familiar community guardhouse, Qian's mother felt relieved and stopped her heavy steps.

The feeling of dizziness came suddenly. In an instant, her face flushed, she had difficulty breathing, her chest ached, and her vision began to blur.

In a daze, she actually saw Mengmeng being carried into a car by Xinla. Mother Qian opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth to scream, but found that she could not make any sound.

Qian's mother was filled with panic and felt dizzy. What was Xinla trying to do?

She kindly took Xinla in out of consideration for their kinship, but was she going to destroy Xinla's family?

Qian's mother's eyes went dark, she fell to the ground, and knew nothing.

In the car, Xinla spat out a bloody tooth and her beautiful face twisted.

She threw the unconscious Li Mengmeng on the seat and reached out to twist Li Mengmeng's ear viciously.

"Hey! You got hurt even when I asked you to bring a kid out. You're such a loser." Kang Yiji buried his whole body in his large coat. He was so thin that he looked like a skeleton.

Despite being in such a mess, he still did not forget to mock Sinla.

"Don't you know she's a superpower? Stop making sarcastic remarks and drive your car!" Xinla glared at him. Not only had she lost a tooth, but she had also been punched in the stomach by that little monster, Li Mengmeng. Now her lower abdomen was aching.

She had originally planned to take her time with Li Moran, but was instigated by Kang Yiji. She acted too hastily, which led to her failure.

"Tsk~" Kang Yiji sneered, but without delay, he released the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator and left.

All the people living here are military dependents. If someone finds anything unusual, it will be too late to run away.

Xinla sneered, picked up a woven bag that had been prepared long ago, stuffed Li Mengmeng into it, and zipped it up.

"Leave her a chance, she will be worthless if she dies!" Kang Yiji saw this scene in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but persuade.

"...What will Brother Gang do to Mengmeng?" Xinla hesitated, rubbing the pain in her mouth, and asked with a complicated expression. She hadn't originally planned to sell Li Mengmeng.

She had long heard from Aunt Qian that Li Mengmeng was incredibly strong! She had long suspected that Li Mengmeng had supernatural powers, but she couldn't bring herself to do anything!

It's all Qian Xiaomin's fault! We just can't tolerate her!

She was a weak woman in the end times, and she just wanted to find someone to rely on.

Li Moran's status and position in the base were considered upper middle class, but her figure and temperament were very rare for her.

She likes this kind of manly man, who looks strong and powerful. Imagining the intimate scene with him, her whole body trembles with excitement.

"How is it? Haha..." Kang Yiji sneered. He stared at his hands, which were as thin as chicken claws on the steering wheel, and his head felt a sharp pain.

One wrong step leads to all wrong.

In the first place, he shouldn't have followed District Chief Liu and Lin Qingqing to Liancheng.

When the zombie with a rotten face appeared in the supermarket, he should have been more patient and not pushed Lin Qingqing to block the zombie.

It’s all that bitch Qiao Ruoran’s fault!

Why didn't she show up earlier?

If she had come out to kill the zombies earlier, how could he have pushed Lin Qingqing!

If he hadn't pushed Lin Qingqing, she wouldn't have driven away his car, nor would she have stabbed him, and he wouldn't have gotten a fever and been thrown into the river by District Chief Liu.

Qingqing loved him so much in the past, she would definitely protect him and would not ignore him even if he was injured.

Kang Yiji burst into tears, everything is gone!

He lost the only person he could trust.

Lin Qingqing's eyelids twitched as she was dozens of miles away. She was in Old Tan's hometown at that moment.

The house is an old earthenware structure built half a century ago.

After years of disrepair, the front and back of the house were covered with weeds and moss.

This is a small village.

In the early days of the apocalypse, most rural areas are actually safer than cities.

When it is not the Spring Festival or summer vacation, most people in the village go out to work or study, leaving behind only a handful of left-behind children and empty-nest elderly people.

They had little contact with the city, and even several months after the end of the world, people in some isolated villages were still unaware that the world outside had changed.

Old man Wang, who lives next door to Old Tan’s family, doesn’t know.

Seeing Lin Qingqing and her group coming to the village, the old man squinted his cloudy eyes and his face was full of wrinkles with joy.

He shakily chopped a cabbage, brought it over, and insisted on giving it to Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing couldn't refuse, so she had to take it and said, "Thank you, Grandpa."

"No thanks, no thanks. I grew it at home. It's not worth much." Old man Wang smiled and waved his hands. He was missing a few teeth and his mouth was a little flat. He looked at Lin Qingqing with curiosity.

After giving them the things, Old Man Wang stood by and watched them work.

Big Ear was quite satisfied with the place, but the house hadn't been lived in for a long time and needed cleaning and tidying up. So he took Ji Xiao to cut the weeds in the yard.

There were a few children in the village who were not yet of school age. When they saw the car coming, they all opened their eyes wide, sniffed their noses, and lay on the half-meter-high broken wall to look out.

Lin Qingqing waved to them, gave each of them a few candies, and asked them to help collect some firewood.

The children got the candies and left with strange smiles on their faces.

Hearing their carefree laughter, Lin Qingqing regretted not bringing those children here. She had never expected such an environment to exist.

I just don’t know how long this peace can last.

Old Tan was still unconscious, but his mother seemed to have become younger, and her hunched back had straightened up.

She was busy going in and out with a broom, sweeping cobwebs and dusting.

Seeing that it would take a while for Lin Qingqing to clean up the place, she gave up her plan of returning to the base today and rolled up her sleeves to help clean up.

In the evening, several young men in the village came back from the fields and heard their children say that some outsiders had come to the village and were staying at the old house of the Tan family.

The villagers were all panicked and came over together.

The old people and children don’t know that the world has changed, but they know it.

And among them were some who had escaped from outside.

Before the villagers got close to the Tan family, Big Ears and Lin Qingqing heard footsteps. They looked up almost at the same time, and then took off the guns they were carrying at the same time.

They pointed their guns at the door.

The villagers who were carrying kitchen knives and hatchets were stunned.

"Hello...! We are... here to help."

There was a man with a quick mind who rolled his eyes and started preaching with a smile.

With the help of the efficient villagers moving bricks, the house was quickly repaired.

The omnipotent villagers even patched the leaking tiles on the roof.

Lin Qingqing helped Tan's mother stew a large pig's trotter with radish and kelp in the pot.

I also used the pork belly to stir-fry the cabbage and spicy and sour potato shreds that the old man gave me.

Some of the villagers here know how to kill pigs. Lin Qingqing pretended that there were pigs in the trunk of a car, took one out, and asked the villagers to shave it and gut it.

She wanted to deal with both pigs at the same time, but that would be too conspicuous, and there was obviously no room for two pigs in the trunk.

At dinner time, Big Ears invited everyone to come and eat.

Lin Qingqing silently counted the number of people in the kitchen, a total of eighteen people, young and old.

After counting, the joy in her eyes gradually disappeared. There was not a single female among the adults!

There must be something wrong here.
