Chapter 42 Lin Wan and Xu Yan
Xu Yan looked at the child wrapped in the quilt with red eyes, who opened his eyes because of the noise they made. He pulled Lin Wan into his arms. He couldn't bear it, and he couldn't bear it, but he was also powerless to stop it.
"Even if he becomes a zombie, he is still my child! I didn't protect him well! I am not worthy of being his mother!!"
Lin Wan struggled painfully in Xu Yan's arms. She stretched out her hands and hammered Xu Yan's chest again and again. Xu Yan, who was already injured, was hit by Lin Wan and showed a painful expression.
But Lin Wan only had the child in her heart at this time, and didn't notice Xu Yan's pale face.
The child lying on the bed seemed to have heard the quarrel between his parents, and let out a small roar, and his little hands kept dancing in the air, trying to grab something.
The noise made by the child awakened the two people who were immersed in grief. Lin Wan took advantage of Xu Yan's inattention to break away from his arms, staggered forward and picked up the child, "Little Nuo, be good, mommy is here..."
Lin Wan held the child and rocked it gently. In her eyes, the child was still the cute white and tender baby before, and the baby was just crying at this time, and she just needed to coax him.
"The bright stars follow, the insects fly, the insects fly, who are you missing..." Lin Wan sang her favorite nursery rhyme when she was a child. She looked at the little baby in her arms with eyes full of motherly love, as if everything had returned to the end of the world.
Xu Yan slowly stepped forward, holding his chest that was hurt by Lin Wan's hammer. He looked at his wife and the child who had turned into a zombie, sighed heavily, and hugged the mother and child in his arms.
Lin Wan was right, even if their child turned into a zombie, it was still their child, but some decisions had to be made.
Lin Wan didn't know how much time had passed while holding Xiao Nuo in her arms. It was already completely dark. Xu Yan drew all the curtains in the house before he dared to turn on the light in the room. He sat on the bed with Lin Wan in his arms,
"Wanwan, Wanwan, Xiao Nuo has turned into a zombie, we..."
Lin Wan raised her head. She understood what Xu Yan meant. She stood up panicking and holding Xiao Nuo in her arms and took a step back.
"You...you are Xiao Nuo's father, how could you...? How can you be so cruel? I will never allow anyone to hurt my child, not even you!!" Lin Wan closed her eyes and almost yelled. She turned around and ran with the child in her arms in grief, but Xu Yan caught up with her in two or three steps.
Seeing that Xu Yan blocked her way, Lin Wan took out a dagger from her bag and put it across her neck. She used too much force and the sharp blade cut Lin Wan's neck. Blood flowed down her neck and just dripped into Xiao Nuo's mouth in her arms.
Xu Yan was visibly panicking and he quickly moved aside, "Wan Wan, don't be impulsive! I won't stop you, I won't stop you..."
Lin Wan continued to hum a ballad and gently rocked the child in her arms. The blood from her neck kept dripping into Xiao Nuo's mouth. Xiao Nuo, who tasted the blood, danced in the air with more force in her hands, and even her roar became louder.
Lin Wan looked down at Xiao Nuo and smiled gently. She seemed to be blind to all the choices in front of her,
or she was immersed in the world she had created for herself. But when Lin Wan raised her eyes, she could see the sadness in her eyes.
She ignored the wound on her neck, letting the blood flow down, and put Xiao Nuo in the cradle in the living room, rocking it gently.
Xu Yan, who had been following her all the way, saw that Lin Wan was only in the living room, and felt relieved. He took off the backpack on his back, took out a bottle of water and compressed biscuits from the backpack and handed them to Lin Wan.
Lin Wan looked at the water and compressed biscuits in front of her, paused, and silently took the water and compressed biscuits handed over by Xu Yan.
She tore open the compressed biscuits like a walking corpse and ate them bite by bite. She looked at Xiao Nuo in the cradle. Xiao Nuo seemed to have fallen asleep. She didn't know if he needed to sleep after becoming a zombie.
Lin Wan was thinking about some abrupt questions in her mind. She wanted to laugh, but she wanted to cry more.
A pair of rough hands touched Lin Wan's face. Lin Wan looked at the man in front of her, "Ah Yan, I..."
"Wan Wan, I know everything." Xu Yan wiped Lin Wan's tears, "Are you hungry? There should be some vegetables in the refrigerator. I'll make a meal."
"Okay..."
Lin Wan watched Xu Yan walk into the kitchen and heard the sound of turning on the light, then the sound of opening the refrigerator, then washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and finally the sound of cooking.
She walked slowly to the French window in the living room, opened it, and took a deep breath of the fresh air coming in from outside, just like when she got home from work before the end of the world, opening the window to breathe in the fresh air, feeling the warmth of home and the hope of tomorrow.
But now, for Lin Wan, home is no longer warm, and there is no hope for tomorrow.
She looked back at Xiao Nuo who had closed his eyes again in the cradle, and whispered, "It turns out that babies can still sleep even if they become zombies..."
Half an hour later, the aroma of food filled the entire living room and dining room. Xu Yan took off the apron from his waist and hung it on the side, then turned around and went to the kitchen to get two bowls of rice, "Wan Wan, it's time to eat."
Lin Wan also pushed the cradle to the dining table. She looked at the food on the table, a bowl of vegetarian spicy hot pot, a plate of her favorite fish-flavored pork shreds, and another plate of her favorite braised eggplant.
Neither of them spoke, silently picking up their own bowls and chopsticks to eat the food in front of them. Lin Wan felt that the spicy hot pot, which usually didn't taste hot, now tasted spicy and pungent, and it made her cry again.
She looked at Xu Yan's red eyes and tears. It seemed that she was not the only one who felt it was hot and pungent...
Just after finishing a meal, there were various knocks and bangs on the door, accompanied by inaudible curses and women's hysterical screams.
But Lin Wan and Xu Yan inside the door were not affected. Lin Wan took out the dagger from her bag again and put it on the table, "Ah Yan, am I... too selfish? In fact, you..."
"Wan Wan, we are a family. We must die together." Xu Yan picked up the dagger and looked at Lin Wan with a firm and gentle look.
The noise outside the door was getting louder and louder. Lin Wan turned her head to look at the entrance door, "Ayan, don't let them interfere with us."
"Okay." Xu Yan was about to stand up and use his earth-related supernatural power to block the entrance door, but the next second the entrance door was chopped into pieces.
Xu Yan looked at the people standing outside the door and looking at him in bewilderment. He was the first to react and stretched out his hands to block the door frame with his earth-related supernatural power.
"Bang!"
Before Xu Yan could turn around, there was a loud sound of a heavy object falling behind him. He froze in place instantly, blood flowing back all over his body, his mind went blank, tears filled his eyes and fell straight down, he moved his mouth, but no sound came out,
Xu Yan slowly turned his head...
