Chen Yunhua glared angrily at Liu Zhigang and the others. Wasn't it their duty to give her a ride? Shouldn't they help her out, since they were raising a child alone? Why were they being so formal with them? In this apocalyptic world, shouldn't they be helping her even more?
The remaining passengers were also confused. What was going on? If there were several people on the bus going to several different places, would they all be driven to their destinations one by one? How long would that take?
Liu Zhigang laughed in exasperation, "Am I obligated to take you or what? Would I be doing you a disservice if I didn't?" "I didn't say I had to take you. If you want to go, then go by yourself." After saying that, he gave him a deep look.
Immediately, Chen Yunhua covered her face and burst into tears. Yang Yuanfei, standing next to her, stared intently at Liu Zhigang, pursed his lips, and said hatefully, "No, you're not allowed to bully my mother!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yunhua reached out and hugged him, burying her face in his neck and sobbing.
Things have come to this point, and there's nothing we can do.
At this moment, Li Xiao called everyone to continue eating, and beckoned to Tian Tian to come and eat.
It seemed like everyone finally realized what was happening, and they continued eating.
Everyone was eating around the table, and there was no other noise.
The two people standing to the side seemed to be ignored by everyone.
Chen Yunhua was so angry her hands were trembling. "You, all of you, are all so wicked. Bullying people like this."
Li Xiao found it too troublesome; the more people in the team, the more things there were to do. She didn't know what other things might come up in the future, and just thinking about it made her feel annoyed.
She ate her rice and said sullenly, "I'm going to Beijing, not Dongyu. I think we should split up."
The others stared at her, forgetting to eat. Why were they suddenly going their separate ways? This…
Meng Yang laughed, "Alright, we all have different goals and can't travel the same way, so let's go our separate ways. We'll reach Qizhou soon, and we'll part ways there." After saying that, he finished his rice in a few bites and got off the table without waiting for anyone else to speak.
Liu Zhigang sighed and said in the same way, "In that case, let's split up in Qizhou City."
No one else said anything, leaving only Chen Yunhua and her son standing there angrily.
It's better to separate, as disunity can easily lead to conflict.
You can't even sneak a bite to eat, and you can't hide from people.
I always feel like I'm being watched everywhere, and there's nowhere to hide to eat. It's better to separate; it's more convenient for me. I can drive myself, and if necessary, I can just hide away and browse social media. Unlike now, I feel so stifled.
The meal was unpleasant, and everyone went to rest as darkness fell. Uncle Li and Zheng Yongnian were on night watch, while Li Xiao went to bed early.
The faint roars of zombies could be heard in the darkness, and the quiet night also masked some rustling sounds.
They unrestrainedly expand themselves upwards and downwards, allowing themselves to develop to farther and higher places.
There were also some hidden in the darkness, their eyes glowing red, huddled together in groups, waiting for their chance to strike.
This is a danger other than zombies, which occurs without the knowledge of humans.
The post-apocalyptic environment is harsh, with various dangers surrounding us, making survival incredibly difficult. Every day is spent cautiously, treading on thin ice, just to live one more day.
The temperature didn't drop much at night, and they were drenched in sweat even while sleeping on the floor. The day's exertion couldn't stop them from wanting to sleep. Even the profuse sweat didn't wake them.
In the past, unless there was air conditioning, you couldn't sleep at all. In today's environment, it's a blessing to have a place to sleep peacefully; there's no time to think about anything else.
I woke up around 4 a.m. Although it was still dark, it was quite cool at that time, so I wanted to leave early and cover as much distance as possible. I hope to reach the next city within the next couple of days; too much time has been wasted on the road.
We grabbed a quick bite and set off, each of us getting into our own car.
Just before getting on the bus, she ran into Chen Yunhua and her son. Chen Yunhua glared at her menacingly, leaving Li Xiao speechless. It seemed she had been resented.
Li Xiao drove, and Meng Yang helped clear the road. The closer they got to the city, the more obstacles there were on the road, and the more troublesome it became to clear them.
The hot weather and difficult roads meant that they hadn't driven more than a few kilometers in the morning, and everyone was getting a little impatient.
The car was parked under a tree by the roadside. The trees were now exceptionally tall, some with roots that had even penetrated the road surface. They had to climb over; Meng Yang had to use his supernatural abilities to move the car across. If it was too far, there was no way to get there, and his supernatural abilities wouldn't be effective.
We encountered all sorts of troubles along the way, and the dilapidated roads were no longer recognizable as they used to be.
The dense trees along the road were almost like a forest, blocking out the road surface and allowing them to stop and rest.
Hiding under the trees, the green leaves gleamed black, reflecting the blinding sunlight. The branches, thick and thin, intertwined and tangled. The trees on both sides were lush, shading the road, their shade offering respite from the heat.
After everyone got off the bus, since no one had cooked, they could only eat something quick and easy. There was a small gas stove on the bus, so they boiled some water and made a bowl of instant noodles for everyone.
After quickly finishing lunch, I found a place to rest.
Although there are trees along the way, they are not there all the way. In some places, there are no trees at all; they have all withered and died.
We'll have to set off later and find a place to rest before dark.
It was still so hot at 2 p.m., but it was time to leave, otherwise we wouldn't be able to walk much further.
In the afternoon, Uncle Li got off the bus to clear the road, which made things much faster. The team leader said we'd reach Qizhou City tomorrow. Seeing this hope, everyone felt much more energetic.
It's been several days since I left the city, but it feels like a long time. Even though there are many zombies in the city, being away for a long time always makes me feel like something is missing.
Humans are, after all, social animals, and they will feel very lonely if they are away from people for a long time.
The situation in the end times is different; there are very few people left in the world, and you can only see people in settlements.
Even if you can't see crowds, you can always see city buildings. It lets you know that you're still here, that you haven't been abandoned, and that the city isn't far away.
He was sweating profusely as he killed zombies, his face oily from the sun.
Seeing how far I've come through my hard work, I still feel a sense of peace.
Hard work always pays off, and you gradually grow as a person.
I have gained a deep understanding of the end times and of humanity.
In the struggle for survival, humanity's worst instincts have begun to surface. Greed, killing, lies... what can't happen in the apocalypse? Fighting, looting, what can't be done?
Human nature can be sold as long as one can survive.
You can't control others, just focus on yourself.
Although I'm going to Beijing, I still have some concerns.
I don't remember anything, how am I supposed to get along with them?
In the apocalypse, all the weaknesses of human nature can be magnified. What will happen then?
She could disregard everything else, but she still wanted to go and see, perhaps also for the sake of the girl who had left.
Perhaps, her will still remains, and she should go and see for herself.
No matter what, she needs to go. Whether it's good or bad, there will be a result.
