Chapter 268 The Worst Decision
After saying this, Jin Mohan closed the car door and signaled Jingchen to overtake, leaving Zhou Xiaolai, who had not yet reacted, disheveled in the wind.
Lengmo was very calm, as if he was used to the boss's behavior of littering, and he picked up Zhou Xiaolai and put him into his car with ease.
Witnessing everything in the rearview mirror, Jingchen blurted out, "Boss, are you okay? Why did you suddenly want to be a human being?"
Jin Mohan leaned his elbow against the car window, looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside, and let out a lonely and melancholy sigh.
“Occasionally, I do some good things.”
Jingchen thought to himself, you might have been bored recently and came here to cause trouble.
Jiang Zixuan mentioned the subtle atmosphere between Leng Mo and Zhou Xiaolai to Jin Mohan during their casual conversation, but she didn't expect that Jin Mohan would take it to heart.
For a long time afterwards, Mr. Jin might have to rely on Leng Mo and Zhou Xiaolai for entertainment.
The convoy crossed mountains and rivers towards the unified base, and encountered many zombies in uninhabited areas along the way.
There are many powerful people with special abilities in this team, so those zombies are nothing to be afraid of. They are basically killed by Qiu Ming's subordinates before they even get close to the convoy.
After a few hours, Jiang Zixuan came out of the space and found that Zhou Xiaolai was not there.
"Oh my god, you lost Lai Lai?"
Jin Mohan didn't feel guilty at all, "She feels happier with Leng Mo."
Jiang Zixuan climbed onto the back seat and smiled like an auntie, "That's great, Lai Lai has finally come to his senses."
She had said it a long time ago, in fact, being indifferent is quite good, but she is just shortsighted and often mutters about how rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, and she would rather ignore such a handsome homely guy.
Jingchen never mentioned that Zhou Xiaolai was thrown down, and Zhou Xiaolai himself would not be so depressed as to run to Jiang Zixuan to complain.
So much so that afterwards, Jiang Zixuan always thought that it was Zhou Xiaolai who took the initiative to talk about love with Leng Mo.
At night, it was dark and not suitable for traveling, so the caravan rested in the river valley.
Qiu Ming's people were setting up camp, and Jiang Zixuan directly took out a large wooden mobile house from the space, which was fully equipped with everything from beds and bedding to kitchen and bathroom supplies.
This was also specially customized by Jiang Zixuan from the base factory and has been kept in the space for backup.
As long as you have a mobile house like this, you can use it anywhere and in any weather.
When you need it, you can just take the house out, and when you don’t need it anymore, you can put it back.
There is a huge space, which is really convenient.
The wooden house is quite large, and the small rooms are separated by wooden walls, dividing them into small living rooms.
Although there is only one bedroom, others can sleep on the floor as there are enough beddings.
After Jingchen and Jiang Zixuan prepared the meal and invited their group to eat, Qiu Ming hadn't even set up camp yet.
Jiang Zixuan only cared about Qiu Liren. After cooking, she scooped a bowl of beef soup and went over to call Qiu Liren to eat.
Qiu Liren sat by the river in a daze and didn't even notice Jiang Zixuan walking over.
He has been in a trance these days and his alertness has been greatly reduced.
If a zombie had approached him just now, he might not even know how he died.
Jiang Zixuan sat down next to him and handed him the beef soup.
"Try my cooking. This beef soup is so delicious."
The rich soup is filled with thin and tender beef slices, and enoki mushrooms and cabbage leaves are dotted on the beef slices. It is a combination of meat and vegetables, fresh and delicious.
Qiu Liren had no appetite and even eating was uncomfortable for him.
He forced a smile at Jiang Zixuan and said, "I'll go around the area. If there are any zombies, I can take care of them as soon as possible."
As he said this, he wanted to leave, but Jiang Zixuan forced him to sit down.
"Eat something. Look how haggard you are." Jiang Zixuan felt distressed and angry. "I know you are in pain, but no matter how bad you are, you have to live. You are so depressed and discouraged. You don't want to live anymore, right?"
Qiu Liren sat dejectedly on a large rock, staring at the bare, dry riverbed. After a long while, he said in a low voice, "I know something is wrong."
He knew very well that this would make many people sad and upset, and that everyone was worried about him, but he simply did not have the energy to forget his sadness and to think about nothing as he did before, not looking back at the wreckage and dead souls behind him, but just trying his best to move forward.
He really couldn't walk anymore, and even if someone pushed him, he didn't have the ability to stand up again.
Jiang Zixuan stared at the bowl in her hand, her eyes filled with unspeakable sadness.
"Brother, Brother Shan tried his best to save your life. If you don't cherish it and lose it, will you be worthy of Brother Shan?"
Qiu Liren curled his fingers slightly, drooped his brows, and said softly, "I'm sorry for him."
No matter how many times I said sorry, it just wouldn't get through to that silly big guy.
Jiang Zixuan didn't know how to comfort Qiu Liren. She had always been tongue-tied and couldn't come up with any moving and heart-warming words.
She held the bowl in silence, and listened to Qiu Liren's murmured question, "How would he want me to live?"
Should I live an ordinary but safe life as an ordinary person, or should I continue to fight on the front line as a Qiuli person and a member of the armed forces until I die in battle?
He really didn't know what he could do to repay Dan Changcheng and calm his extremely gloomy and depressed heart.
That person disappeared from his sight in such a decisive way, which was equivalent to tearing a hole in his heart that would never heal.
Jiang Zixuan understood what Qiu Liren was struggling with. He had to survive, but he had no motivation to do so.
He kept thinking about the scene where Dan Changcheng blocked the zombie beast for him. Whenever he thought about it, his heart ached and the most vulnerable part of his heart kept twitching, causing him extreme pain.
Jiang Zixuan also felt uncomfortable seeing Qiu Liren like this.
She knew Shan Changcheng's feelings better than anyone else.
"Brother, Shan Ge told me before that he would not force you to give him any response, nor did he want to cause you any trouble. He said that after returning to the base, he would go to farm and grow vegetables. As long as you don't need him, he will never appear in front of you in your life."
Qiu Liren opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Jiang Zixuan continued, "Actually, although Shan Ge... although he likes you, he never expected you to really agree. Rather than being criticized by others with him, he hopes that you can live a happy life, have children, and enjoy your old age."
Even in the end times, the world still has prejudice against homosexuals.
Just like Jingchen and Jiang Liang, sometimes Jingchen would get off work early and go to the school to pick up Jiang Liang, and then be seen by others, who would talk behind their backs and think they were disgusting and dirty.
But neither of them cares about worldly opinions, because liking is pure liking and it doesn't bother others.
It is not easy for them to be together. Jingchen tries hard to forget the blood feud with the Jiang family. Jiang Liang also persuades himself not to have too much psychological burden. As long as the two of them can live peacefully, it will be fine.
The end of the world is already bitter enough, why make things harder on yourself?
Being with Jingchen is Jiang Liang's best and most desired choice.
But being with Shan Changcheng would be the worst decision for Qiu Liren.
Therefore, Shan Changcheng did not want Qiu Liren to really go down a path of no return with him.
