Chapter 159: Yun Lu's Death
"No, my grandfather doesn't allow me to play with strangers." Seeing that she didn't move, Zhuang Aiyi was no longer so vigilant and started looking at the half-built Legos again.
"you……"
"What are you doing?" The sudden voice behind her startled Yun Lu, and the potato chips in her hand fell to the ground.
"Big Daddy" Zhuang Aiyi ran over happily and took the initiative to say, "She said she wanted to play with me and eat potato chips with me, but I refused. Big Daddy told me not to have contact with strangers."
"Aiyi is so good." Zhuang Aiyi touched Zhuang Aiyi's head, looked at Yunlu expressionlessly, and then looked at Bai Miao who was following behind him.
Bai Miao was speechless when he saw Yun Lu appear in Zhuang Mingxu's office. When Zhuang Mingxu looked at him, he immediately asked, "Have you finished your work?"
"My mother is helping me," Yun Lu replied, but her eyes were fixed on Zhuang Mingxu, with disgust on her face without even a hint of concealment.
"..." Bai Miao was speechless, but thinking about increasing their workload tomorrow, "No one is allowed to enter here. The first time will be taken as a warning, and the second time will be kicked out directly."
"I know what your relationship with Wei Yi is. I also know that you don't want me to meet Wei Yi, so you try every means to prevent us from meeting." Yun Lu ignored Bai Miao's words and spoke directly to Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu still looked at her calmly, as if what she said was not a big deal. Many people here knew about his relationship with Lu Weiyi. He had never concealed it before the apocalypse, and he didn't care about it after the apocalypse.
Zhuang Mingxu had already prepared himself for someone to tell her about what had happened, so he was not surprised. What surprised him was Yun Lu's tone and indignation, who was clearly the embodiment of justice.
Yun Lu didn't get a response from Zhuang Mingxu, and she was getting even more angry. "You are a disgusting homosexual, and you forced Wei Yi to be with you. Fortunately, God has eyes. Now it's the end of the world, Wei Yi has superpowers, materials and abilities, and you have become a cripple without superpowers. What can you use to force Wei Yi now..."
"Yun Lu!" Bai Miao was surprised that someone dared to say that to Zhuang Mingxu, and forgot to stop him for a moment. By the time he reacted, Yun Lu had been talking nonsense for a long time. He scolded her and glanced at Zhuang Mingxu cautiously. Seeing his indifferent expression, he couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment.
"Let her talk." Zhuang Mingxu didn't know what was wrong with him. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand. It hurt so much, but he still wanted to hear her continue talking as if in self-abuse.
"Brother Mingxu..." Bai Miao didn't know what to say. At this moment, he really hoped that there was someone of the same age and familiar with Zhuang Mingxu present, instead of himself, who was several years younger than him and was treated as his younger brother. It seemed that nothing he wanted to say would be inappropriate.
"Did I get it right? If you still have any self-respect, leave quickly and stop pestering Weiyi. You are causing trouble for their family and ruining his reputation. Do you have to wait until he personally chases you away?" Yun Lu said righteously. Through Ji Lin's description, she already knew how Zhuang Mingxu, who had money and power before the end of the world, forced Lu Weiyi and caused estrangement between their family. At this moment, she felt that she was simply solving the problem for Lu Weiyi.
"Wei Yi is kind-hearted. Now that you are disabled, he is too embarrassed to drive you away. He just feels sorry for you. Before the end of the world, you used your power to force him, and now you are still using his sympathy to drag him down..."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Zhuang Mingxu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly started coughing violently. He covered his chest with one hand, his face was pale, his body was shaking slightly, and he slid weakly towards the wheelchair.
"Big Daddy——" the childish voice cried out.
"Brother Mingxu, what's wrong with you?" Bai Miao was panicked. He stepped forward, picked up Zhuang Mingxu who had fallen to the ground, and rushed towards the military headquarters. Before leaving, he turned back and said viciously to the stunned Yun Lu, "If anything happens to my brother, you'll be dead."
"Stomach cramps. Maybe your stomach was not in good condition before?" The military doctor who treated Zhuang Mingxu asked Bai Miao after the diagnosis.
"I'm just angry. I'll give them more work when I go back. They're so bored." Bai Miao was also very angry.
“It’s okay, it’s an old problem.” After taking painkillers and recovering, Zhuang Mingxu smiled at the military doctor and hugged the obviously frightened Zhuang Aiyi to comfort him.
"Pay attention to old ailments, take care of your stomach problems, and pay attention to your diet, and eat less cold food." The military doctor didn't think of delving into other people's affairs. He gave them a few instructions and let them rest for a while before leaving.
"Don't mention today's matter in front of Xiaoyi," Zhuang Mingxu reminded Bai Miao. Yun Lu's words also reminded him. He decided to communicate with Lu Weiyi first. Avoiding it like this was not a solution.
Bai Miao stared at Zhuang Mingxu for a long time and said reluctantly, "Okay."
Zhuang Mingxu didn't want to mention it. The Greenland community is so small, and most people saw Zhuang Mingxu being taken away when he fell ill. Even though Guan Tong took Yun Lu away immediately, no one knew what happened to them.
But rumors naturally changed their meaning after being passed through three mouths, and finally it became a rumor that Yun Lu had successfully risen to the top. She showed off in front of Zhuang Mingxu, and Zhuang Mingxu was so angry that he fainted on the spot.
No matter what others said, Guan Tong naturally could not ignore her own daughter. After learning what Yun Lu said, she insisted on taking Yun Lu to apologize to Zhuang Mingxu.
"I won't go. What I said is not wrong." Yun Lu felt completely confused. She even thought that Zhuang Mingxu must be pretending.
"Do you know that we are living under someone else's roof now? He can manage the entire logistics. He is not someone you and I can afford to offend." Guan Tong was helpless about Yun Lu's stubbornness in this regard.
"What are you afraid of? The worst that can happen is that we can tell Wei Yi about it." Yun Lu wished it were so.
"Lulu, wake up. If Lu Weiyi really cares about you, he wouldn't have left you here and ignored you for ten days or half a month." Guan Tong felt that Lu Weiyi didn't have that kind of feelings for Yun Lu. She now hoped that Lu Weiyi would forget about them, mother and daughter, so that he wouldn't do anything bad to them.
"Mom, there were so many girls at that time. If he didn't like me, how could he bring me back? And," Yun Lu said shyly, "his family likes me very much and even invited me to their house for dinner."
This was also something Guan Tong couldn't figure out. She didn't know how to refute for a moment, "You two are not dating, don't come close to each other, you will be looked down upon."
"I know, Mom. Ji Lin asked me to go to the market. I'm leaving now." Yun Lu changed her clothes and ran away without caring about her unfinished work.
They didn't apologize, and Zhuang Mingxu didn't make a fuss about it. Everything remained the same. This made Yun Lu feel a little relieved, and Guan Tong also felt relieved.
As Zhuang Mingxu said, Lu Weiyi and his group spent most of their time hunting zombies during the day, but drove around the city when it rained heavily. The truck compartment was modified with a roof to keep out the rain, but the four sides were open.
When the car speed was reduced to match Lu Weiyi's, he controlled the small green branch to collect supplies from under the collapsed objects on the roadside, which made it easier for the people in the car to attack the zombies that followed. There were four high-power electric lights hanging on the four corners of the ceiling, which were like moving big light bulbs in the dark. Fortunately, the zombies did not rely on their eyesight to see things.
"It's getting late. There's a small food wholesale market on the next street. Let's take a rest there." Lin Yimu, who was driving, glanced at the time on his wrist. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, so he asked the others in the car.
"Okay, maybe we can still find some loot." Antonio, who was operating the flying knives to harvest the zombies on both sides of the truck in the back seat, glanced through the rain, estimated the distance, and replied.
Co-pilot Lu Weiyi, who was operating the Little Green Branch to collect supplies, took a glance and said, "There's a fight over there."
"Are they stealing supplies?" They had been living outside for a few days and found that the teams were not so harmonious.
Killing is not allowed inside the base, but if you encounter a mortal enemy outside the base, many people will take action, and some teams will even disappear as a whole. It goes without saying what happened.
Before, they even encountered a team that made a living by robbing other people's supplies. As a result, when they met them, they not only failed to rob supplies but also lost their own things. When Antonio heard this, he thought that supplies were delivered to his door again, and he was eager to try.
"It seems... right." Lu Weiyi only used a trace of his mental power to probe a thousand meters away. In addition, many of the other side were using supernatural powers, and they would be easily dispersed if they got too close. He could only make a rough exploration.
"Let's not join in the fun. It's so late. Everyone took turns eating a few biscuits at six o'clock to satisfy their hunger. Let's take a rest and eat first." Lin Yimu pursued safety.
"Okay then." Antonio was also a little hungry.
After making sure that Lu Weiyi had collected most of the things from the collapsed pile on the roadside, Lin Yimu drove around the street where they were fighting and arrived at the back door of the small food wholesale market.
After a busy day, although there might be a large number of retail stores in front of them, no one was interested in searching them immediately. They cleared a half-collapsed building next door. Li Zhuang left a half-person-high space for their convenience in exiting and sealed the rest with earth walls to ensure that even if zombies approached, they would not be able to get up for a while.
On the second floor by the window, Xu Sa and Liu Rui looked around from time to time. Two tables were set up in the cleaned-up hall. Lu Weiyi put the dishes he had prepared during practice on the tables, and the aroma of meat immediately filled the air.
"I'm telling you, if you leave the supplies behind quickly, I'll still let you go. If you still don't leave, you'll die here." A woman's voice suddenly came from the first floor, leading everyone to look out the window, although they couldn't see anything in the dark.
"Why are there women here?" Lin Yimu asked. In the apocalypse, the majority of deaths were caused by the elderly and children and women. Most of the rest depended on men to survive in the base. It was indeed unusual to see women outside in the middle of the night.
"I came out from the back door next door," said Xu Sa, who had been paying attention to the outside, "It seems... there was a conflict between the two teams."
As they were talking, there was silence for a moment, as if the light on the second floor was discovered by the people downstairs. After a moment of silence, someone shouted, "Friends on the second floor, do you want to cooperate? I'll give you half of the supplies."
"Uncle! This is our last supply."
It was Ji Jin's voice, Lu Weiyi raised his eyebrows.
