Chapter 176 Return to the End of the World 4
Every autumn rain brings a chill. It rained all night yesterday. Although the sky cleared up today, the chill wrapped in the morning mist made the leaves on the trees in the mountains wilt a lot.
Although the people sitting in the rear carriage put on more clothes, the sudden drop in temperature still penetrated through the iron sheet of the carriage and penetrated directly into their backs.
"The day changes so quickly." The researcher took out a piece of white cloth from somewhere and wiped his fogged glasses.
"That's right." The middle-aged father pulled out a piece of clothing from his bag and put it on his son's seat. The wrinkles between his brows deepened a few more times. The weather was cold, and his son's wounds were aching again.
Chen Qian sat near the door of the carriage and squinted at the father and son. There was only a beam of light from a flashlight in the carriage, which was very dim. The father first carefully put in the cushion, and then carefully reached his hand into his son's half-empty trouser leg. After making sure that the cotton cloth tied around the wound was intact, he asked his son in a soft tone if he wanted to put on more clothes.
That look, pious and humble, was exactly like the expression of a pilgrim crawling in the holy land.
Before the end of the world, the son should have been about to go to college. He had deep eye sockets on his withered and thin face. He looked numb in response to his father's questions. He only moved his yellowed eyeballs when the wound was touched, like a lifeless puppet.
Chen Qian found this very interesting.
It seems that the father is strong and the son is weak, but the strong one is not necessarily the stronger one, and the weak one is not necessarily the weak one.
The sudden collapse of social order has caused extreme chaos in the world. Ethics, common sense, morality, and law are like a false dream at the moment of the end of the world, and they disappear in the twisted hearts of people.
At first, zombies ate humans, then mutant animals ate humans, and later humans ate humans. Especially after the tenth month of the apocalypse, the continued high temperature caused a large amount of food to spoil and a large number of crops to die. It seemed that God was pushing humans to the brink of extinction. Some hungry and crazy people recklessly released the beast in their hearts and began to attack weak women and frail children.
The reasons are ready.
The bloody smell of women during menstruation and the inappropriate crying of infants will attract man-eating monsters.
Ha, monster!
Sometimes Chen Qian couldn't tell which was scarier, the cunning humans or the zombies who were driven only by hunting instincts.
Are there more people who die at the hands of zombies or at the hands of their own kind?
Who knows?
Anyway, the end of the world has come, the world is bloody, people die every day, every night, every moment, and no one cares how you die.
Those who survived didn't even have the qualifications to feel sad. Those aliens who still had strong empathy ended their lives in a trance.
People always need something to rely on in this world.
This son is his father's hope.
If something happens to his son, this father will either live in madness or die happily.
But the son might not want to live in such a numb state. Perhaps, sometimes he also thinks that his father should not have saved him, and that becoming an unconscious zombie in the early days of the apocalypse might not be a kind of happiness.
Not everyone has the courage to face the end of the world.
Otherwise, why would those rampant cults before the end of the world be so persistent despite repeated bans? The fear from the unknown will always make people place their hopes on false things.
Chen Qian leaned back in the carriage and thought secretly. There was no other way. She couldn't contact the system. She could only figure this out to kill time.
But there are always people who like to meddle in other people's business. Tang's mother, who was sitting opposite the father and son, seemed to be fed up and said, "Xiao Zhao, you have to be more motivated. Look at how your father serves you every day. He doesn't want to eat the good food and saves it for you. He even wears thin clothes to wrap you up first. You are such a grown-up now. If you were in the past, you would have been a supporting role. Why do you have such a gloomy face every day and don't even show any anger..."
Tang's mother really couldn't stand it. It was not easy to survive in this cannibalistic world. No matter what you think, people are alive by breathing. If the breath in your heart is gone, what is the difference between living and dying.
These few words of local accent were particularly distinct in the dark carriage, and awakened several drowsy spectators.
Everyone's eyes were on them.
The son's eyes didn't even move, but the father smiled foolishly and made a few remarks in his defense. The researcher also advised him. Tang's mother lost interest for a moment and held back the words she wanted to say.
The wealthy businessman huddled in the corner watched the show with a smile. He is fifty-three years old this year. After the virus outbreak, his peaceful and beautiful life in the past was torn off the mask of happiness.
The wife is not her wife, and the son is not her son.
His daughter, born to his ex-wife, left home after a conflict with him. After the apocalypse, communications with her were cut off and transportation was paralyzed. Now her whereabouts are unknown and no one knows whether she is dead or alive.
The adulterous couple knocked him unconscious, took away all the valuables in the house and fled the city. If the villa area had not been sparsely populated, he didn't know whether he could have survived.
Regret.
Thinking of his daughter, his eyes flickered to Chen Qian, as if he was picturing another face through her. If that stubborn girl were still alive, she would probably be about the same age as her.
Chen Qian tilted her head. Ever since he knew her gender, the rich businessman would occasionally stare at her in a daze. However, his gaze did not contain any playful intent. Instead, it revealed some kindness in its sadness.
Maybe he was looking at his grown-up daughter?
Chen Qian didn't investigate further. As we were all living in the end times, everyone would have some sorrow in their hearts.
No, maybe it is!
Chen Qian stared at Tang Yun who was curled up in Tang's mother's arms. The little girl was not very pretty. There was a healthy blush on her round face. Her skin was not very fair, but it was moist and shiny. Her jet-black hair was braided into two shiny big braids that hung in front of her chest. When she felt her gaze, she was stunned at first, and then an innocent smile appeared in her bright big eyes.
Thinking of the little girl's gaze chasing Shen Qing, it was as clear as a cold spring in the mountains.
Doomsday koi farm girl VS indifferent and steady captain?
The clichéd hero saves the beauty, falls in love at first sight, and then after experiencing the turmoil of the world, the male protagonist who has closed his heart opens his heart under the entanglement of the innocent and kind girl...
During lunch break, Chen Qian was staring at Shen Qing's back while eating a steamed bun, as if thinking about something.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Xing came over with a can. The lid of the can had been pried open, and there was about two-thirds of the braised chicken left.
He followed Chen Qian's gaze and saw his captain. He handed the can to him in a frustrated tone, saying, "Do you like Captain Shen?"
Ahhh, why are so many girls staring at Captain Shen?
"Then forget it. First of all, Captain Shen has a lover, although her whereabouts are unknown. Secondly, Captain Shen likes men, and you are not the right gender."
???
"Huh?" Chen Qian stopped typing the essay frantically in her mind. She looked up at Lin Xing suspiciously. She had chosen the wrong couple?
