Chapter 31 Cursed
"Well, he is only eight years old." Jin Mohan's expression was slightly gloomy.
Jiang Zixuan took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart, "Eight years old?! He is with your family, right? Don't tell me he is alone?"
Jin Mohan's eyes flickered slightly and he stopped talking.
This undoubtedly confirmed Jiang Zixuan's doubts.
"Did something happen?"
Jin Mohan doesn't seem like the kind of person who would leave his younger brother alone.
Jin Mohan leaned against the sofa, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "My parents passed away when my brother was one year old. Mingming was almost raised by me."
"At that time, there was a family dispute. The death of my parents left the family with one less candidate for the heir, but my brother and I became their concerns. Therefore, they were wary of our direct and collateral branches of the Jin family and directed all their attacks at us. In the end, I took my brother and left the Jin family."
"Later, the turmoil in the Jin family subsided. Mingming was already three years old at that time. Grandpa and grandma Jin missed their grandson after all. And because of my own reasons, I finally kept Mingming in the Jin family. I only went back from time to time, or took him out to live temporarily."
Without his parents around, almost everyone in the Jin family regarded him as a thorn in their side.
As early as when they drove them to the Jin family, he knew that he had to become strong.
After leaving the Jin family, he lost all protection.
From then on, I learned how to kill.
As time goes by, I experience more and more things.
He no longer had any feelings for the Jin family.
Except for my younger brother.
Jin Moming.
If he had not realized the danger around him, he would not have left Jin Moming in the Jin family.
But unexpectedly, it was a wrong decision.
The old man of the Jin family told him half a month before the end of the world.
Jin Moming disappeared on Qianyu Island!
He was abroad at the time, and when he heard about the disappearance, he immediately came back.
However, no trace of it was found after searching the entire island.
Not long after.
The end of the world is coming.
After that, all hell broke loose.
The coming of the end of the world makes the search even more difficult.
Not long after, he met Jiang Zixuan.
But there are some things that I don’t know how to express.
After looking at the girl in deep thought beside him, he turned his head to look at the bright moonlight outside.
Perhaps it was the weather today that made both of them feel complicated today.
Jiang Zixuan never knew that the cold and indifferent Jin Mohan actually had such a past.
They both seemed to be people who had troubled childhoods.
She walked over to sit beside him, reached out and patted his shoulder, and her heart paused when she saw his slightly gloomy expression. It was the first time she saw this man looking so weak.
Jiang Zixuan smiled at him and comforted him, "It's okay, we will find it."
Jin Mohan paused, then lowered his head and rested it on her thin shoulders.
Jiang Zixuan froze and instinctively wanted to push him away, but when she thought of how sad he was now, she didn't move.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard the man's hoarse and choked voice. Her eyes widened instantly, and her heart was churning like water.
"Xuanxuan, they all said Mingming...is gone."
"But I don't believe it..."
Jiang Zixuan blinked her sore and wet eyes, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around his back.
He patted him gently. Even though he was puzzled as to how the person who had just said Jin Moming was missing could now be gone, he still couldn't help but comfort him.
"How do you know... it's gone? No, you will definitely find it."
Jin Mohan slowed down, his voice heavy and hoarse, "On the day when the end of the world came, my heart suddenly ached, as if I had lost something very important. I am not unfamiliar with that feeling. I felt it when my parents died."
"Not long after that day, I received a photo of Mingming. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he looked lifeless..."
Jiang Zixuan's hands tightened slightly, she felt extremely sad. No one knew the feeling of losing a loved one better than she did. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just pretended to be relaxed and said silently:
"Silly, they lied to you. Mingming will be fine. She will be fine."
Jin Mohan hugged her waist tightly and said nothing more.
Jiang Zixuan let him hold her, even though his strength was so strong that her waist hurt. She stroked his soft black hair and was silent for a while.
In a service area.
“Ahhhh!”
A sharp and piercing sound was heard, and Jiang Zixuan, who was eating bread, couldn't help but frown.
You're shouting so loudly because you're afraid that you can't attract the zombies, right?
“Another death!”
Jiang Zixuan paused and looked at Jin Mohan who was sitting next to her. Another person died?
After that night, the two of them tacitly agreed not to talk about it again, but Jiang Zixuan kept the matter in her heart, thinking about looking for it.
However, there was less distance between the two of them, and more a sense of familiarity and inexplicable closeness.
There were not only Jiang Zixuan and her companions in the service station, there were also other fleets of cars.
As soon as these words were spoken, they caused a sensation.
The two looked at the source of the sound, and their faces instantly became solemn.
Jiang Zixuan frowned slightly. The man was only left with skin and skeleton, and his flesh and blood seemed to have been drained away.
The screaming woman had a pale face and was filled with fear.
The others gathered there with serious expressions. A few timid ones had already hidden aside and started talking.
"Isn't this Ma Hong?!"
"It was fine yesterday, why did it become like this today?"
"Is this a curse? What else could cause this? It's so scary."
Listening to the conversations around her, Jiang Zixuan glanced at the people around her and didn't find anything unusual. She couldn't help but become secretly alert. Suddenly, her peripheral vision caught sight of a middle-aged man with a frightened expression and eyes as dead as water.
She couldn't help but frown, feeling something weird.
"Sister Song... Why does Ma Hong look like... that?" The woman who just screamed looked uneasy and pulled the woman standing next to her who also had a suspicious look on her face and asked, "Is it... Is it someone around us..."
Song Lan brushed her hand away, looking grim, "Don't scare yourself, pack up and get ready to go."
Although he said so, when he returned to his team, his eyes were alertly watching his teammates.
The team members were eating their own food. The atmosphere was quiet, yet there was an unspeakable sense of tension.
The teammates around me were fine yesterday, but an accident happened early this morning. Moreover, this is not the first time such a thing has happened, and everyone is worried that they will be the next one.
Visible fear permeated everyone.
The other teams in the service station hurriedly packed up their things and drove away from this strange place, fearing that it would be their turn if they were a little late.
For a time, people were in panic.
Jiang Zixuan withdrew her gaze, feeling that things were not that simple, and that something was strange.
Jin Mohan looked back at her and whispered, "After we finish eating, we'll set off."
Jiang Zixuan nodded. No matter what the reason was, she didn't want to get involved. She decided to leave as soon as possible.
When we packed up and drove away, the couple had not left yet and were still sitting together.
Jiang Zixuan, who had already left, did not notice that the man who had been sitting at the back of the team, sitting quietly with his head down, had a strange curve at the corner of his lips.
