Chapter 341: The Siege in the Apocalypse (18)
An ugly woman who doesn't even dare to show her face, yet everyone likes her. She is Chen Gong's girlfriend and Gu Yan's younger sister.
She completely forgot that, by blood, she could only be considered his cousin. Because Gu Yan's parents died early, his uncle adopted him, but he never treated him well. He just wanted to legally seize the family property left by his parents.
Gu Qingqing looked down on her brother and caused all sorts of trouble, making Gu Yan suffer a lot of hidden losses.
Now you realize he's your biological brother? That's utterly shameless.
"Sister Wen Wan has been here for so long but doesn't like to go out. What if she gets bored? How about I spend more time with her? I don't know many other people here, what do you think, brother?"
Gu Qingqing looked at Gu Yan, Gu Yan looked at Wen Wan, and Wen Wan began to dodge the question, saying, "We'll talk about it later."
Gu Qingqing was a little angry, her face stiffened for a moment, and she looked at Chen Gong, but Chen Gong didn't understand her thoughts at all. Gu Qingqing was so angry that she took a couple of bites of rice and said she was full. Gu Yan looked at the leftover rice in Gu Qingqing's bowl and said, "Finish it. Wasting food is not allowed in the safe zone."
"Brother? I really can't eat anymore. I didn't mean to waste food." He looked at the bowl in front of Wen Wan, who had only taken two bites of rice. "Sister Wen Wan, you agree, right? You can't eat anymore either, right? We girls have small stomachs and can't eat too much."
Wen Yan: "???"
Gu Yan reached out and took Wen Wan's bowl, then shoveled the rice into his own bowl.
Gu Qingqing: "!!!"
“Brother? You…” She felt wronged; this was too much discrimination.
In the end, Chen Gong came out to end the matter and ate Gu Qingqing's leftovers. The brothers finished all their food, not even leaving a drop of soup. After all, this was the apocalypse, and wasting food was a sin.
After finishing their meal, Wen Wan left with Gu Yan. As for Gu Qingqing, Gu Yan didn't care at all, and Gu Qingqing didn't want to follow either, instead staying with Chen Gong.
Wen Wan left the dormitory, and Gu Yan quickly went to deal with Lin Fulong's matter. Wen Wan originally planned to go back to her room and stay at home, but Bai Tian ran up to her, "Sister Wen Wan."
"What is it?" Wen Wan stopped.
Bai Tian: "Sister Wen Wan, I want to ask, are there still any bloodshed or disasters ahead of us?"
Wen Yan: "???"
"Has something happened?"
Bai Tian: "After we returned to the safe zone, my older brother fell in love with Gu Qingqing again. He's a hopeless romantic. He believes everything Gu Qingqing says. Didn't you say she would kill us? Is that still the case now?"
It wasn't that he believed in metaphysics, but rather that Wen Wan's predictions were very accurate in other areas.
Wen Wan looked at Bai Tian, "So, do you want me to help you? Let me make this clear first: if you're sure she killed someone before, what will you do?"
Shirata: "I will absolutely not let her stay by my older brother's side."
“Okay, let’s set a time, and I’ll help you handle this.” Wen Wan then went on to explain some more details.
Bai Tian's eyes widened. "What? You can read minds?"
"No way, no way, what kind of superpower is mind reading? Did they read my fart just now?" Wen Wan said with a laugh.
Bai Tian: "!!!"
She quickly took several steps back. "What are you doing? Can't you have any privacy? Does that mean you can know what all of us are thinking?"
Wen Wan nodded. "If I wanted to, I could, but I'm not likely to actively try to read minds. After all, wouldn't I be exhausted?"
Bai Tian: "..."
"Is this a superpower of an esper? I've never heard of it before."
Wen Wan shook her head. "No, this is an ability I've had since I was little. Because of this ability, I was adopted by an old fortune teller and learned to tell fortunes."
Bai Tian was greatly shocked. He never expected that such a strange encounter could actually happen in real life. Superpowers were special cases that appeared after the emergence of the zombie virus, but Wen Wan was born with them.
My goodness, I've really learned something new.
"Then you must help my older brother."
"Well, since I've already calculated your fates, I'll naturally go all the way and do a good deed to the end."
Wen Wan didn't hide this from Gu Yan. After all, in the original story, Gu Yan was tricked a lot by his family. He was tricked in the story before it ended badly, and he was tricked even more badly in the story after it ended badly. He was even framed by his uncle's family and became infected with the zombie virus and became the zombie king. It's ridiculous that the protagonist becomes the villain.
Wen Wan wanted to see how Gu Yan would treat Gu Qingqing.
"Do whatever you want."
Wen Wan: "You don't object? If it's true, what are you going to do?"
"If she really killed someone, then the safe zone cannot keep her."
"Really? She's practically your sister, how can you be so heartless?"
Gu Yan looked at Wen Wan and said, "The people she killed also had families. Besides, I have no kinship with her. I took her in simply because she is human. The original purpose of establishing the safe zone was to protect the lives of ordinary people."
Wen Yan: "..."
So even if it's not Gu Qingqing, anyone else who comes here can be taken in by the safe zone.
As expected of Gu Yan, if she were the one who got tricked like this and still came looking for me, I would probably kick her out immediately to get revenge. It seems that her level of understanding is still too low.
...
Gu Qingqing had no idea that she was about to be tricked. She was a little irritable lately because Chen Gong wanted to marry her. She didn't want to get married at all, and after seeing Gu Yan, who was an extremely outstanding person, she was even less inclined to.
She hoped that a better man than Gu Yan would appear in the future, rather than marrying the mediocre Chen Gong. Besides, she no longer needed to compromise herself to save her life, so Chen Gong was clearly no longer her first choice.
Bai Tian kept trying to sow discord between his elder brother and Qi Sheng and Guan Qi as well.
"Brother, you and your wife have such a good relationship, it's time to settle down." Yue, what sister-in-law? She's not worthy of her.
"Yes, brother, things are stabilizing now. The safe zone is getting better and better, and we can finally settle down."
"We also want to attend your and your sister-in-law's wedding banquet."
After a few attempts to persuade him, Chen Gong also had his own ideas and discussed them with Qingqing several times, but the final result was always no.
Chen Gong was also somewhat unhappy.
"Qingqing said that it's the end of the world now, and nothing can be guaranteed. She doesn't want to get married so early."
Bai Tian: "This apocalypse will last for a long time, at least five or ten years, or even until we die. Can you wait, brother? Besides, how can it not be guaranteed? You are about to break through to the fourth level of ability user, which is one of the top experts. We have stored up a lot of crystal cores. We are in the safe zone now, and we are protected in all aspects. The apocalypse is not an excuse."
She also said that she is still relatively young and does not want to get married so early.
"Brother, you're almost forty, and she's in her twenties. If you wait until she's your age, you'll be halfway to the grave. Will she still be able to marry you then?"
Chen Gong slapped Guan Qi across the face, saying, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. You're practically half dead."
"There's no place to get a marriage certificate here, so getting married is just a formality."
Guan Qi: "Brother, who doesn't know this is just a formality? It's just inviting a few friends to dinner, having a few tables of food, introducing them to everyone. There's no legal support, no marriage certificate. She won't even give you this title? Is she trying to dump you? Using you as a backup? You hand over all the crystal cores you earn to her, and you always make sure she has all the good food and clothes. You haven't let her suffer at all. If you become a backup, you'll be the biggest traitor in the world."
Chen Gong: "..."
He couldn't take it anymore; this brother deserved a beating. So, after grabbing Guan Qi and giving him a good thrashing, he finally felt relieved. But these words were like soft thorns piercing Chen Gong's heart, just waiting to slowly fester.
With constant probing on one side and avoidance on the other, their relationship cooled down over time.
However, Gu Qingqing was a master at it. She immediately started crying, making a scene, and threatening to break up, playing the innocent victim with all sorts of accusations. Chen Gong was completely taken in.
Bai Tianlai was speechless when he told Wen Wan about it.
"How can a grown man be so blind to love? He's so love-struck. The moment someone cries, he abandons all his principles."
"This is love. Loving someone is blind. I also want to ask, their relationship is still very good now. I can see that your older brother really likes Gu Qingqing. If he knew some of the truth, losing Gu Qingqing might not be a good thing for him. I'm not exaggerating. There have been quite a few people who jumped into rivers after being dumped by their girlfriends, and quite a few who jumped off buildings after being dumped by their boyfriends. People who are obsessed with love are extremely vulnerable."
Bai Tian: "..."
"Surely it's not that serious? It's just a woman."
“You’re not your older brother, so you don’t understand, but that doesn’t prove that this situation doesn’t exist.”
Bai Tian: "Then what should we do? We can't just let our brother and Gu Qingqing stay together forever, can we? She's a venomous snake! It's one thing to deceive someone's feelings, but to learn from this is a matter of life and death! Sister Wen Wan, you have to think of a solution."
"There are solutions."
"What method?"
"You know about Lin Fulong's situation, right?"
Bai Tian nodded. Lin Fulong was betrayed by his subordinates, and then they turned on each other. He was hit on the head and suffered a huge shock. After waking up, he became an idiot.
etc.
Shirata's eyes widened. "You did this?"
Wen Wan looked at Bai Tian and acquiesced.
Bai Tian: "..."
Bai Tian guessed, "Sister Wen Wan, do you mean that since we can't let Gu Qingqing leave and cause my brother to suffer heartbreak, leading to a series of uncontrollable consequences, and we're worried about Gu Qingqing's danger, why not just target Gu Qingqing and make her unable to hurt anyone else, turning her into a fool like Lin Fulong?"
Wen Wan nodded, "This way, Gu Qingqing can be punished, and your older brother won't be heartbroken. It's a win-win situation."
Bai Tian: "..."
Is there really such a solution? Can Gu Qingqing, now that she's an idiot, still be harmful? This is practically solving the problem at its root.
That's what they say, but it still feels very fantastical and unbelievable.
"Let me think about it and discuss it with the other brothers." This is no small matter; he needs to be careful.
After Bai Tian left, Gu Yan came out of the study. It was clear that he had been in the study the whole time and had overheard her conversation with Bai Tian.
"You don't think I'm malicious, do you? If you can't accept it, let me go. I'll be a little disappointed, but I can handle it."
Gu Yan reached out and subconsciously touched Wen Wan's sticking-up hair. "You are very kind. If she really killed someone, I would kick her out and she would be killed by zombies immediately. But now she has only become stupid, which is already too good for her."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. Those I protect are those who deserve my protection, not just anyone."
