Qiao Yiyi and her sister are left-behind children and have lived with their grandmother since childhood. Their grandmother passed away a year or two ago and left only a few thousand yuan for Qiao Yiyi. Their parents who live in another place have long stopped giving them living expenses.
While in college, Qiao Yiyi had to take out student loans and work part-time to support herself and her younger sister who was still in high school.
When the end of the world came, she happened to come back from work to see her sister, but she didn't expect that the world outside had changed.
The two of them hid in the house and under the bed at night, for fear that a monster would break in.
They usually only come out from under the bed when they need to eat or go to the bathroom.
They hid like this for many days, until the food at home was gone and they were extremely hungry. Qiao Yiyi then thought of sneaking out of the house and going to the vegetable fields not far away to see if she could pick up anything to eat.
But as soon as she got out, her world collapsed.
She was targeted by the village bully and had been living a life of hostage-taking ever since. They kidnapped her sister and only let her stay in the house alone.
Whenever someone came to the village, she would find a way to make them unconscious.
The women stayed, and those with special powers also stayed. If those without special powers were robbed of everything they had, but after the robbery, she had no idea where these men without special powers went.
There were those with special powers, both men and women had their legs chopped off, were tied to chairs all day, and were often fed some medicine to ensure that they were drowsy and could do work for them.
And she is like a bus, where people come to vent when they want to vent.
Only by being obedient can she protect her sister from being abused by that group of people.
After listening to Qiao Yiyi's story, Xu Bai looked at her like a fool.
She found it hard to imagine that there were still such silly people these days.
How can a group of bastards who can bully others at will just watch a sixteen-year-old sister in her prime and do nothing?
They are unbelievers.
Not only was Xu Bai speechless, but Father Shi could no longer bear to watch, "Have you seen your sister since she was caught by them?"
"Yes, I have. Ah Mei is having a very bad time. She is tied to a chair and can't sleep well. There are marks on her body from being whipped. Every time I knock someone unconscious, they let me see Ah Mei."
Whipping?
This isn't some special hobby.
"Did your sister say anything?"
"Amei was very kind to me. She comforted me and reminded me to be careful."
When talking about her sister, Qiao Yiyi's face showed a lot of smiles.
Everyone was silent for a while. They looked at Qiao Yiyi meaningfully for a few times and then looked away.
Meanwhile, Mother Shi, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the girl kneeling beside her, and then Shi Qinghe lying on the ground, she coughed excitedly a few times and pointed her finger in Shi Qinghe's direction with trembling hands: "Xiao...Xiao...He..."
"Old lady, you are finally awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Father Shi quickly helped Mother Shi over and patted her back gently. After hearing that her cough had improved, he quickly gave her the water on the bedside table.
Mother Shi came to her senses and calmed down a lot, but her ten fingers were still tightly grasping Father Shi's arm, and her eyes were fixed on Shi Qinghe on the ground.
"Our child just passed out, didn't he?"
"yes."
Father Shi briefly told Mother Shi what had happened.
When Mrs. Shi thought that it was this woman who caused her son to almost be bitten by zombies, she was furious.
She angrily said, "Apologies are pointless. If he were caught by you, would his legs also be chopped off and he would be made into a puppet to do your work?"
"You're so young, but your heart is as bad as your sister's."
"Tell me where they live, and I'll spare your life."
After being cleansed by the end of the world, Shi's mother is no longer as kind as before.
In the last days, kindness often kills oneself.
Shi's mother looked so ferocious that she scared Qiao Yiyi.
But as a protective sister, Qiao Yiyi couldn't bear to hear others say such things about her lovely sister. Without considering her own situation, she retorted, "My sister is the best person in the world. She is very simple and doesn't have the mindset you described."
Mother Shi sneered, "How could it be you who was defiled instead of her?"
"Why didn't you tell her that you've become part of that group of people?"
"How could you be so careless? Why did you give her water and then others found out?"
"Why are you so heartless..."
Shi's mother was a big fan of watching palace fighting dramas all year round, and she saw through this low-skilled shit at a glance. From her words, one could also tell what kind of person the good sister she was talking about was.
With every question from Shi's mother, Qiao Yiyi's face turned pale, until finally, she murmured in despair, "No, no, my sister wouldn't be like this."
When hitting a snake at its most vulnerable part, people will naturally choose to talk about what others care about most.
For this kind of sister-supporting demon, every word Shi's mother said pierced Qiao Yiyi's heart.
She shed tears, denying what Shi's mother said, but she was also upset about it.
In the room.
All that was left was Qiao Yiyi's soft sniffles and Shi's mother's occasional coughing.
"Aheng, the medicine outside..." Seeing that Shi's mother was coughing non-stop and had a fever, Shi's father felt distressed. He also knew that Ji Heng had not taken out any medicine yet, which meant that he had not found it.
But Father Shi couldn't help but wonder about the situation in the pharmacy outside. Had it been cleared out or were there too many zombies inside?
Ji Heng shook his head, his tone heavy: "The pharmacy is cleared out, and the hospital has too many zombies."
Father Shi tightened his grip on Mother Shi's arms.
Before the end of the world, a cold could be cured quickly, but in the end of the world, a cold could very likely cost you your life.
Even Ji Heng said that there were too many zombies and he didn't bring any medicine back.
That means there are indeed too many zombies and we can’t get the medicine.
"I have some in the city."
All of a sudden, three pairs of eyes looked at Xu Bai.
Father Shi then realized that he had not previously asked who this cold girl was or what her name was.
“But it costs money.”
Ji Heng quickly agreed and introduced Xu Bai to Shi's father and mother.
Mr. and Mrs. Shi were full of curiosity about this young girl who could single-handedly create an entire base. When they saw her cold and expressionless appearance, they seemed to understand a little.
Since he manages a whole city, the base must be very large. If he is too playful and unstable, it will be difficult for him to manage other people.
Then compare it with your own stupid son.
Shi's father and mother looked at each other, and both wished that Shi Qinghe could follow Xu Bai and learn from him.
Shi Qinghe, who was called a fool, just woke up.
