Chapter 188: Saving the Survivors in the Ruins
City Z, ruins.
"Xiu Xiu, how are you?" Zhou Nan picked up his daughter and examined her carefully.
"Mom, I'm fine." Three-year-old Cheng Xiu rubbed his little face against his mother's face and comforted her.
Zhou Nan felt a little sad when he saw his daughter's sensible appearance.
She insisted on giving birth to this daughter, but she didn't expect that she would usher in the end of the world.
The year her daughter Cheng Xiu was born, the world changed and became dangerous.
All the animals and plants mutated, becoming larger and more ferocious, making it very difficult for her to survive with her daughter.
Fortunately, the Border Collie she used to raise still stayed with her and her daughter even after it mutated. If it weren't for this Border Collie taking care of her and her child, she didn't know how many times she would have died in the apocalypse.
“Woof woof——”
The Border Collie who was protecting Zhou Nan and Cheng Xiu suddenly started barking wildly in a certain direction.
Zhou Nan became nervous when he heard the Border Collie's cry, and tightened his arms around his daughter.
"Mom, don't be afraid." Cheng Xiu hugged his mother's neck and patted her back with his little hands.
Zhou Nan comforted her daughter, "Mom, don't be afraid."
When Chen Wenjiu came over, she saw the mother and daughter snuggling together. She walked over slowly and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Nan looked at Chen Wenjiu, and Cheng Xiu also looked at her with wide eyes.
Chen Wenjiu said with a kind smile on his face, "Hello, I am the manager of Wenjiu's hotel."
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Zhou Nan looked at her warily and said, "A hotel for warming wine? Do you run an inn?"
It's been three years since the apocalypse. Who would actually introduce themselves as the manager of a hotel?
Maybe before the apocalypse, people would introduce their occupations and positions when introducing themselves, but now it has been three years since the apocalypse.
Now all walks of life are paralyzed. Who would still say what they do when introducing themselves?
Chen Wenjiu’s self-introduction made Zhou Nan even more alert.
Chen Wenjiu took out a hotel brochure and handed it to Zhou Nandao, "This is the brochure of our hotel. This lady can take a look."
She glanced at the skinny Cheng Xiu and said, "Even if you don't care about anything, the child is still young, isn't he?"
Because Cheng Xiu was born at the end of the world, she didn't eat well. Although she was three years old, she looked very thin.
Other people’s children all have baby fat, but she doesn’t.
Chen Wenjiu couldn't help but sigh when he saw Cheng Xiu.
Life should be this difficult for children in the end times, right?
Chen Wenjiu was a little depressed after experiencing the previous two apocalypses.
Perhaps the last natural disaster apocalypse was not that serious, because they arrived before the apocalypse officially broke out, so they saved many people in advance, so that many people did not have to live a particularly difficult life.
But she thought of the first world, the world where zombies were rampant, which was two years after the apocalypse.
But she didn't seem to have ever been in such close contact with such a young child.
How long has it been since she saw a skinny child like Cheng Xiu?
Chen Wenjiu looked at Zhou Nan and said, "In our hotel, as long as you have the ability to collect things that can be exchanged for points, you can fill your stomach."
She looked at Cheng Xiu and said, "Our hotel supermarket has a variety of foods suitable for infants and young children. Perhaps you could consider it, ma'am."
"It's a bit dangerous here. Why don't we go to a safer place to have a good talk?" Chen Wenjiu said.
Zhou Nan nodded, held his daughter in his arms, and sat on the back of the Border Collie, leaving the ruins.
After Zhou Nan brought her daughter and Border Collie here, she saw that there were other people in this open space besides her and her daughter.
“Wow wow wow—”
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—it hurts—Mom, it hurts—"
Zhou Nan listened to the crying of other children, then looked at his well-behaved daughter in his arms, feeling a little sad.
Her daughter is obviously younger, but she is very sensible and does not cause trouble for her as a mother.
She feels sorry for her daughter.
She looked at the brochure in her hand, and her eyes became determined as she saw the dazzling array of food and goods, as well as things that could be exchanged for points.
If what the brochure said was true, then she would definitely work hard to support herself and her daughter.
She will definitely raise her daughter to be healthy and not as skinny and small as she is now.
Zhou Nan cursed the man who had been missing for three years countless times in his heart.
For three years, she had no news of him.
Even though she knew that he often lost contact with her because of his work, it was really despairing that she had no news from him in such a dangerous end time.
Did he die in the apocalypse, or where is he now?
Or has he completely forgotten her existence and the existence of the child in her belly?
Obviously, when he left, she was already six or seven months pregnant. There was no way he didn't know that he was going to be a father.
So, when will he come back?
Although he thought of that man for a moment, Zhou Nan quickly put him behind him.
He looked down at his daughter and asked, "Xiu Xiu, should we go to this hotel?"
Zhou Nan pointed to the pictures in the brochure and asked his daughter, "We can eat delicious food and wear beautiful clothes for Xiuxiu."
Cheng Xiu looked at the picture in the brochure, looked up at his mother and said, "Mom, do you like this?"
Zhou Nan glanced down at the picture of mango shaved ice and said with a smile, "Yeah, Mom really likes it."
Cheng Xiu said with a firm expression, "Then Mom, let's go here?"
"Xiu Xiu needs to earn points for her mother so that she can eat delicious food." Cheng Xiu said seriously.
"Yes, Mom believes in Xiuxiu." Zhou Nan said, touching his daughter's head.
Chen Wenjiu looked at the people around him. Not all of them had pets like Zhou Nan who were close to them to protect them. Most of them did not have mutant animals around them.
They were able to survive in such a dangerous world by relying on the principle of "survival" and their own strength.
Even when the giant panda Xiong Xiong was frantically destroying the surrounding buildings, he was lucky enough to survive.
Although their original residence was destroyed and turned into ruins, at least they were still alive.
Chen Wenjiu couldn't help but sigh.
It’s the end of the world. Can this world be changed?
Can pet contracts and beast control really change the world?
"Sister, this is for you."
Chen Wenjiu was bringing an elderly man with mobility issues back to settle down when a little girl came over and handed her the flowers.
Chen Wenjiu looked down at the ordinary flower, then looked at the little girl's pale face. He took it and smiled, "Thank you, I like it very much."
When the little girl saw that she accepted the words she had given her, she smiled happily and said, "Thank you, sister."
Thank you for saving me and my mom and dad.
