Chapter 23: Hurrying on the Road



Lili looked at her husband in surprise. She hadn't expected Qian Bin to actually go to City B. Putting aside the situation in City B, she was pregnant, and the journey was a long way off, and the roads were now blocked.

If she walked, how would her body bear it?

"That's a shame. I was originally thinking we could all go to City B together so we could look after each other. I heard on the radio that bases are being built all over the country. City B is the capital, and I believe those bases should be much better than the small one here. If we can be in a large base, at least our lives will be safe."

Qian Bin looked at everyone's angry expressions, blushed slightly, and explained in a low voice.

Qin Qing shook his head again and said, "I won't go to those small bases either. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. After all, this is your own life."

Li Xiong and several other people didn't even raise their eyebrows. Although Qian Bin's words sounded nice, since Qin Qing was not going, they would naturally go wherever Qin Qing went!

Seeing everyone's expressions, Qian Bin suddenly felt uncomfortable. However, he also knew that since he had made the choice, there was no turning back.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Qin, since you don't want to go to City B, I won't force you. But you also know that the journey to City B is long. I will take half of the supplies in this pharmacy."

"Qian Bin...how dare you make such a request?" Li Xiong said angrily, his face full of anger.

There were seven adults and one child in total. After Qian Bin and his wife left, there were only five adults and one child left. Qian Bin wanted to take away half of the store's supplies. How could they survive? It was so selfish!

Qin Qing didn't care. There weren't many food items in the pharmacy, so she didn't think it was a big deal even if she gave them all to Qian Bin.

However, she felt it would be better to feed such ungrateful people to zombies than to feed them. She smiled, raised her chin towards Sun Lili, and asked, "Do you think the same?"

Sun Lili looked up at Qin Qing and saw the cold smile on her face. She felt a chill in her heart and shook her head instead of nodding.

Qian Bin didn't expect his wife to object. A trace of embarrassment and anger flashed across his clear face.

However, Qin Qing didn't give him a chance to speak again. Considering Sun Lili's pregnant belly, she said, "There are nine of us here. The supplies here are divided into nine portions. You take three, and we keep six. If you don't want the medicine, we can exchange it for food."

When Qin Qing said this, not only everyone but also Qian Bin was stunned for a moment. However, when he saw Qin Qing looking at his wife's belly, he immediately understood.

This also included the unborn child in her belly! Originally filled with embarrassment and anger, now filled with shame, Sun Lili couldn't help but suppress her tears and cried out loudly.

Li Xiong and the others shut up after seeing this. After all, they were on the same team before, and everyone had their own aspirations. Besides, they had parents and siblings waiting for them, so if they didn't want to go with the group, they couldn't force them.

Qin Qing ignored Sun Lili's cries and everyone's expressions. She piled up everything in the pharmacy. Not to mention, anti-inflammatory drugs and cold medicines were the most abundant. There were also many other Western medicines. Food and other items were not much, and after dividing them into nine portions, there were even fewer.

Looking at the pile of medicine and food in front of him, which was obviously out of proportion, Qian Bin gritted his teeth and said, "I'm exchanging medicine for food, especially rice. You know, my wife is pregnant and can't go hungry."

Hearing his words, Zhou Shan pushed the pile of food in front of him towards Qian Bin without saying a word. Wang Xiaobao saw this and also pushed the food in front of him. Li Xiong thought about it, glanced at Qin Qing, and also gave half of his pile of food to Qian Bin.

Cheng Chuan, holding his daughter Xinxin, looked at Qian Bin coldly without saying a word. Qian Bin thought Cheng Chuan would give him something, but he didn't expect him to be so stingy. His eyes darkened, but he didn't show it on his face.

Although Qian Bin was a little reluctant, he still pushed the pile of medicines in front of him to everyone.

"Lili and I will sleep downstairs today and we will leave tomorrow."

After distributing the supplies, Qian Bin stood up, took Sun Lili's hand, and walked downstairs with the things in his arms.

Sun Lili was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to carry so many things, so Qian Bin carried most of the supplies by himself.

Watching him carefully helping Sun Lili down the stairs, Qin Qing couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Even if he was an ungrateful person, she couldn't deny that he was a lover.

In the end times, it is common for couples to fall out with each other. Although, it is also possible that it is because Sun Lili is pregnant with his child.

After watching them go downstairs, Qin Qing said to Li Xiong and the others, "My place is a bit far from the city. Do you want to leave now or rest for a night and leave tomorrow?" Although her place was remote, she was still a little worried after being away for so long.

Li Xiong said in a muffled voice, "I'll listen to Miss Qin."

Although Cheng Chuan didn't know where Qin Qing lived, he knew she must be concerned for a reason. Qin Qing's plans had already been delayed because of the virus they'd contracted after being bitten by a zombie. If they stayed any longer, who knew what would happen next.

More importantly, he didn't want to stay with Qian Bin, a hypocrite.

"I think we are in good spirits now and can hurry on our journey. I just saw that Qian Bin's injuries have healed." Cheng Chuan looked at Zhou Shan, and Zhou Shan nodded after hearing his words.

Li Xiong and Wang Xiaobao also showed the places where they were bitten before, and sure enough, those places had already scarred!

Cheng Xinxin immediately acted like a little adult, packing up everyone's things and stuffing their backpacks full.

When everyone put on their backpacks and went downstairs, they happened to see Qian Bin constantly comforting the crying Sun Lili.

Seeing everyone fully armed and ready to go out, Qian Bin was dumbfounded. Are they leaving?

"You...you guys...?" Before Qian Bin could ask, Qin Qing had already opened the door and walked out.

"Husband, what should we do? They all left. Are we left here alone?" Sun Lili's eyes were swollen from crying. Seeing this, she pulled Qian Bin's clothes tightly and asked.

She was quite convinced of Qin Qing's fighting ability. Now that this man, whom she considered a master, was gone, Sun Lili couldn't imagine what she would do if she encountered zombies again.

Seeing that they ignored him, Qian Bin gritted his teeth secretly, reached out and patted his wife on the back to comfort her, "What if we go out now and encounter zombies? Since they don't want to go with us, we can't force them. Be good, don't cry! You know that your husband has superpowers, and I will definitely protect you when the time comes. Let's stay here for one night and find a car tomorrow to go to City B. Once we get there, everything will be fine!"
