Chapter 57 Spoiled Girlfriend VS Obsessive Post-Apocalyptic Boss 3
It was breakfast time, and everyone was gathered together sharing the food.
"I'm full." Jiang Zhiyi lay listlessly on the table.
"What's wrong?" Huo Linchuan was holding a bowl of hot porridge in one hand and a spoon in the other, about to feed her.
She only ate two or three bites today and then refused to eat anymore.
"I just don't have an appetite. Brother Linchuan, you eat, don't worry about me."
Huo Linchuan patted her head. "Then I'll go on my mission first. If you get hungry later, just go to the warehouse and get some food yourself."
He rarely eats these things; it's too much trouble. He mostly drinks nutritional supplements.
"Captain Huo, why are you here so early today?"
Everyone was used to waiting for him because he would have breakfast with Jiang Zhiyi every morning before coming over.
Huo Linchuan: "Okay, let's split up today. Someone come with me to check out a few shopping malls nearby."
Zhizhi refuses to eat now; she's very picky. I need to find something fresh for her. If I can find fruit, that would be even better.
We'll be traveling along the mining route for the next few days, and there won't be many supplies, so I need to prepare some for her in advance.
Li Wen immediately raised his hand: "Captain Huo, I'll go with you!"
...
In the temporary base.
Jiang Zhiyi held a chocolate and nibbled on it; it was sweet and cloying. She took two bites and then tossed it aside.
A child suddenly walked over and took her chocolate.
Jiang Zhiyi looked over and saw Wang Yun's younger brother, Wang Yu.
"Give it back to me." Her tone was very stern.
"No." Wang Yu immediately took a big bite.
Jiang Zhiyi, who has never been patient, simply went over and snatched the things back. Wang Yu was pushed to the ground and sat there wailing.
Why are you bullying my brother?
Wang Yun yelled at her and quickly tried to pull Wang Yu away. Wang Yu started throwing a tantrum on the ground.
“He took the things first, I’m being lenient by not teaching him a lesson.”
"He's just a child, why are you arguing with him?"
"Ha." Jiang Zhiyi laughed angrily, "If there's a next time, I'll just chop off his hand."
“You—” Wang Yun glared at her.
Seeing this, Li Qing quickly said, "Miss Jiang, please don't be like this. The child is still young and inevitably doesn't understand. Please be generous and let him have the chocolate."
Jiang Zhiyi was even angrier when she heard this. These two people were all out of their minds.
She suddenly remembered that Li Qing was the male lead's number one suitor.
In the original storyline, the male lead developed a psychological trauma after being persecuted by the female supporting character, and he never had a girlfriend again. Of course, he also didn't look for a boyfriend.
The male protagonist then dedicates himself to killing zombies and building a better home for humanity. However, the author introduces him to many fervent admirers, Li Qing being one of them.
Li Qing and Li Wen are siblings, and they both possess healing abilities. Currently, there are only three healing ability users in the team, making them relatively important members.
Seeing that Jiang Zhiyi remained silent, Li Qing added, "Miss Jiang, the apocalypse is not easy. I hope we can all unite and not let small things ruin our harmony. This time, please give way to Xiaoyu."
Jiang Zhiyi wasn't stupid; she knew Li Qing was always a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Not only today, but Li Qing had also often subtly stepped on Jiang Zhiyi in the past to portray herself as a kind and understanding perfect person.
Jiang Zhiyi doesn't have a good temper.
“Wang Yun, your brother can steal food today, but he can kill and set fires tomorrow. It’s your business if you’re happy to spoil him like a father, but if you provoke me again, I’ll throw you and your brother out to feed the zombies.”
"And Li Qing, if you want to act like a living bodhisattva, you should at least do your research beforehand. You have to donate money to make a wish at a temple. Do you think you can be so generous with my things?"
"One of you raised your father, and the other became a bodhisattva; you both have bright futures ahead of you."
Jiang Zhiyi immediately maxed out her taunting skills.
Wang Yun was furious, but she didn't dare to really provoke her, so she grabbed her younger brother and left.
Li Qing stood there, his face clearly not looking well, but a forced smile still lingered on his lips.
...
Around 7 or 8 p.m., Huo Linchuan carried the seriously injured Li Wen back.
Everyone rushed forward to help.
Li Qing tended to Li Wen's wounds while shedding tears; the bones were even visible in the wounds.
Huo Linchuan stood to the side with a sullen face, feeling very guilty.
They went to several shopping malls today and collected a lot of supplies. They were supposed to come back early, but Huo Linchuan still wanted to see if there was any fruit.
They stayed in the mall's cold storage for a long time. Huo Linchuan didn't notice the zombies behind him for a moment. It was Li Wen who rushed over and saved him.
Li Wen fell off the shelf, his back and thigh were pierced by steel bars, and he bled all the way.
"Captain Huo, I'm fine. You've had a long day too, go and get some rest."
Li Wen's weak voice rang out; he didn't want Huo Linchuan to blame himself too much.
"Okay, you get some rest. Come to me anytime if you need anything."
...
The next day at noon.
Jiang Zhiyi was eating the washed grapes; they were very sweet and fresh, and she was enjoying them immensely.
"You really have no qualms about it."
Li Qing suddenly rushed out from the road and blocked her way.
"What did you say?"
Jiang Zhiyi looked completely bewildered, not understanding what was going on.
"My brother got so badly injured just trying to find you some fruit; he almost died!"
Jiang Zhiyi frowned. She didn't know anything about these things; Huo Linchuan had never told her.
Li Qing noticed someone approaching from the side. She grabbed Jiang Zhiyi's hand and pulled her towards herself, then fell to the ground.
Jiang Zhiyi also stumbled, and the grapes in her hand fell to the ground, rolling everywhere.
This scene was witnessed by Li Wen and Huo Linchuan.
"sister!"
Li Wen shouted, and while still in his wheelchair, he tried to stand up and lunge forward, but ended up falling to the ground.
Huo Linchuan quickly helped him sit up.
Li Qing ran over at that moment. The two siblings hugged each other, looking quite disheveled.
“I didn’t push her, she fell on her own.” Jiang Zhiyi looked at Li Qing with disgust.
Li Wen's face looked terrible; the wound on his back had reopened and was bleeding profusely.
Huo Linchuan frowned and said to Jiang Zhiyi, "Zhizhi, you go back first."
Jiang Zhiyi looked unhappy. "I told you I didn't push her."
Huo Linchuan: "Listen to me, you go back first."
Jiang Zhiyi felt extremely wronged, her eyes reddened, and she ran away.
Huo Linchuan carried Li Wen back to the wheelchair and then took him to have his wounds treated again.
"Zhizhi wouldn't do such a thing; there must be some misunderstanding today. If you have any complaints, come to me; don't try to scheme against her."
After saying that, Huo Linchuan left the infirmary.
Huo Linchuan arrived at the door and found it locked from the inside. He knocked on the door.
"Get out of my way!"
Huo Linchuan forcibly broke the lock and found Jiang Zhiyi huddled on the bed crying.
He went over and hugged her, saying, "I believe you."
"Get away from me! That wasn't your attitude at all just now."
“I know you wouldn’t push her. It’s just that the situation was special just now. Li Wen’s wound reopened and it was quite serious, so I asked you to go back first and then take him to get bandaged.”
"Zhizhi, calm down first."
Jiang Zhiyi was still angry and didn't want to talk to him at all.
...
the next day.
Huo Linchuan returned from his mission in the evening, carrying a delicate little cake in his hand.
She didn't say a word to him last night or this morning. I'll try to coax her later.
Before he even reached the room, he saw Feng Kun rushing out of it.
"Captain Huo, your wife has run away from home."
"What?" Huo Linchuan's expression changed.
He took the note Feng Kun handed him; it bore familiar handwriting—
[Huo Linchuan, I know you've always thought of me as a burden. I'm leaving.]
【You useless thing! I'll go find grapes myself. Let's never see each other again!】
