Chapter 48 Suicide
Jiang Hui thought about Su Xiao, who was also a child raised by the Jiang family.
The Jiang family adopted Su Xiao when she was 13 years old and knew her entire life story.
After Jiang Qiqi came back, they took into consideration that although Jiang Qiqi could not adopt Su Xiao in the Jiang family, they did not send her back to the orphanage. So although they did not give Su Xiao the love from her parents, they gave Su Xiao a shelter for her to grow up safely.
This child is very sensible and independent. After she grew up, she left the Jiang family with her own abilities. With an excellent resume, she never thought of using the Jiang family's connections. She returned to the world of ordinary people alone and worked a normal nine-to-five job, as if she had never had any relationship with the Jiang family.
Having been in the social circle of noble ladies for many years, she also understood what the child meant.
She didn't want to owe them anything, wanted to repay them, wanted to get their confirmation.
Jiang Hui said, "Xiaoxiao, at our age, we are already half-dead. Even if we can barely survive, we are still worried every day. We don't know when we will die. But Qiqi is different. She is smart. She was able to escape from that man in the first place, and she will definitely be able to survive in the future. The same goes for you..."
The continuous influx of disasters, collapsed buildings, withered soil, melted soldiers, and corpses all over the ground made her realize that everything had changed.
Before the end of the world, the Jiang family was worth tens of millions and was quite famous in the circle.
Her husband is a responsible and capable man. She only needs to dress appropriately and beautifully to deal with a group of rich ladies and maintain interpersonal relationships for her husband in the business world, while her husband also sits decently in the building to negotiate business with others.
But when the end of the world comes, all assets will be gone.
Interpersonal relationships are no longer useful, and whether you can survive depends entirely on your own abilities and the conscience of others.
In just three short days, the world has changed dramatically.
In the face of the disasters that occurred over the past few days, even though the alliance tried its best to control the situation, order was still lost.
The shortage of food and supplies forced the once noble and proud literati to kneel down and beg for mercy for a bite to eat.
The once gentle and refined neighbor committed a crime with a knife for an invisible treasure chest, and his hands were covered in blood.
The weak and helpless mother had no choice but to give herself to others just to feed her child.
And those scary and disgusting monsters...
She was scared.
The beginning of a new chaotic apocalypse means the end of the old era of comfort where money is everything, and they will be eliminated.
She raised her hand and stroked her husband's face, believing that even if he died, he would want to die with dignity, rather than lingering on hysterically in the doomsday and eventually become a remnant of the doomsday and a burden to anyone.
"So, you keep the safe house for yourself. If you can find Qiqi, then..." Jiang Hui said halfway and said slowly: "Xiaoxiao, no one understands the heart of a parent who wants his children to live well better than you..."
Even so, she was a cowardly mother.
Lidya Su took a deep breath, and after a few breaths, she said softly, “Goodbye, Auntie.”
Jiang Hui smiled: "Xiaoxiao, goodbye."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
1349 was right in front of Lidya Su, looking at her nervously.
If she heard correctly, Lidya Su still had a safe house.
Su Xiao looked at 1349 and said, "The deal is done. You also heard that I still have a safe house. You should want it very much, but I will still give you two choices."
1349 was stunned for a moment.
Su Xiao said: "The first condition is that you make a one-time request to me, and I will meet it within my ability, including taking away the remaining safe house in my hands. The second condition is that after 4 days, when the unbound safe house becomes a public shelter, we will have long-term cooperation."
1349 was stunned for a moment, "Long-term cooperation?"
Su Xiao nodded, "Yes, you should know that there are Easter eggs in the game, treasure chest Easter eggs."
"Yeah." 1349 nodded slowly. Of course she knew.
Although the Alliance collects safe houses and does not allow ordinary survivors to bind to them, it does not mean that people in the Alliance have never bound to a safe house.
Several important experts have bound the safe house for research.
"I have three Easter eggs, a yellow treasure chest, a white treasure chest, and a black treasure chest." Su Xiao said slowly.
1349's face turned serious.
The look he gave Su Xiao was no longer simple.
She heard from several experts that these treasure chests were extremely important, especially the white treasure chest, which was the treasure chest that could open food and supplies.
"Not only that, I also know the survivors of the blue treasure chest, red treasure chest, and purple treasure chest Easter eggs."
I have to say, the importance of connections in the end times.
Su Xiao felt that his network should be quite strong.
So she had already thought of the next step: "As a condition of cooperation, you will give me the transparent treasure chests you find in exchange for other colored treasure chests, or let me open double treasure chests for you without charging any handling fees. Of course, the premise is that one of you can survive until the end of four days, and it would be best if you can control the so-called public shelter."
If public shelters emerge, everyone should work as a group to find supplies together and then distribute them.
In a public shelter, it is a very foolish decision to privatize supplies. Unless you have a strong ability to leave the public shelter, it is easy to fall into danger once the supplies are unbalanced.
Therefore, in the so-called public refuge, there must be a person who controls the right to speak.
And once this cooperation is established, Su Xiao can also use them now to find the transparent treasure chest.
1349 frowned.
This cooperation condition may need to be reported to the higher authorities for a decision.
After all, Su Xiao's adoptive parents are in the Alliance Rescue Camp in Kyoto.
At this moment, the communicator on 1349 rang.
He took out his communicator to listen to the notification.
His expression changed subtly.
When he looked at Lidya Su again, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Lidya Su seemed to notice it, “Tell me, I can accept it.”
1349 said in a deep voice, "Your adoptive mother committed suicide. Please accept my condolences."
Because of the continuous disasters, there are many injured people in the underground city. Mr. Jiang suffered a brain injury and has been diagnosed as a vegetative state. He is currently only using a ventilator to supply oxygen.
Just now, after Jiang Hui finished communicating with Su Xiao, she pulled out Jiang Zhouyin's oxygen mask and pierced her own throat with a small fruit knife, cleanly and neatly.
Lidya Su lowered her eyes.
She already knew what kind of person her adoptive mother was.
When she was young, she was a famous socialite and a talented woman in Kyoto. She was always elegant, intellectual and decent. After she got married, she was raised very well by her adoptive father Jiang Zhouyin. Although she had some means, she knew when to stop. Although she had a proud temperament, it was not a big problem in the upper class society.
Only the incident of Jiang Qiqi's disappearance made her exhausted and she lost her elegance and almost went crazy.
After finally finding my daughter and regaining my emotional stability, I now encounter the end of the world.
So she must have seen something that broke her psychological defenses, which is why she chose to die.
"What did she go through?" Su Xiao asked.
