Chapter 37 I Don’t Want to Change
"Do I need to warn them?" Xiao Li said solemnly, "...They won't listen. They might even beat us up, steal our things, push us down, and snatch our food. If there's no food, they'll steal our clothes!"
Just now at the entrance of Tsui Wah Hotel, the survivors were so crazy.
Xiao Tang pursed his lips and didn't speak immediately.
He stood there in silence for a moment, looking around at the passers-by near and far.
Everywhere you look, you see people staggering in anxious despair, hysterically searching for food in the ruins, and some wandering around aimlessly in a daze, like the walking dead.
"want."
He suddenly spoke.
"Yes." He emphasized his tone and nodded vigorously, confirming his decision.
The place where my shoulder was hit has been aching slightly, and it hurts even more when I nodded.
He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, saying, "I have to remind them. Whether I get beaten or scolded, I have to remind them, otherwise I won't be able to get over it. The storm is coming, and I don't want to watch people die."
Xiao Li said, "But even if you tell them, they may not believe it."
"It's their business not to believe, but it's my business to remind them."
The more Xiao Tang spoke, the more determined his tone became.
He walked towards the nearest passersby, "The world has changed, but I... don't want to change."
Xiao Tang...Qiao Lan suddenly remembered her past life.
It was this little Tang who had always encouraged her in her previous life, helped her survive, took care of her first when there was food, and rushed to the front when there was danger.
During the hard years that the two of them endured, he gave her so much and she owed him so much.
If it weren't for Xiao Tang, she would have died silently in the chaos of the early days of the apocalypse, either from starvation, illness, or being killed.
It was this kind of Xiao Tang, who was seriously injured while trying to save her, and eventually died, while she survived.
She tried hard to live, carrying Xiao Tang's life on her shoulders. In the bloody and cruel apocalypse, she became ruthless and had a heart as hard as iron.
She is no longer the same person she was before.
But when they meet again after rebirth, Xiao Tang is still the same Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang disregarded his own safety in order to save others.
She deliberately didn't take any action and let him get hit by the brick, hoping that he would change his mindset, but it seemed to have no effect on Xiao Tang.
"stop!"
Qiao Lan roared, went up and grabbed Xiao Tang, and was filled with inexplicable anger.
She glared at him: "It's up to you to change or not, it's your business to seek death, but don't implicate me!"
"...Sister Lan?"
Xiao Tang was startled.
Qiao Lan has never been so angry with me before.
While he was stunned, Qiao Lan had already run to a corner of the ruins. With the help of bricks and stones, he took out a loudspeaker from the space.
Recorded a voice message quietly.
Then he turned around and yelled at his companions, "Stand still here and wait for me to come back!"
She took the loudspeaker and walked around for a long time. She placed the loudspeaker in a pile of ruins far away from the kindergarten when no one was paying attention, turned the volume up to the maximum, and then quickly took a detour and sneaked back.
"The Meteorological Bureau predicts that strong winds will begin to blow in ten minutes. Residents are advised to find shelter quickly and avoid going out for three days!"
The loud speaker on the loudspeaker played a simple announcement in a loop.
The voice has a strange tone and an accent from another province. Qiao Lan deliberately pinched her throat to change the voice and then randomly added an accent from another province while recording.
It’s okay for her to kindly inform others to take shelter, but she doesn’t want to expose herself and arouse suspicion, so good intentions may not be rewarded.
"See? If you want to help others, you have to clear yourself first. Stay low-key and don't draw attention to yourself, otherwise you will be targeted by those with ulterior motives sooner or later!"
"Do you know that we are all companions? You are not afraid of danger and are willing to help others, but don't let us get in trouble!"
"Don't let me show that I'm dreaming! Don't let me show that I have food!"
"Otherwise, don't wait for others to harm you. I'll be the first to beat you up. I'll beat you so hard that you can't take care of yourself. Let's see if you still act like a tough guy!"
She scolded Xiao Tang harshly.
Very fierce.
Xiao Tang was stunned by the scolding.
"Okay, go back!"
Qiao Lan waved his hand and led a few people into the ruins.
At this time, passers-by nearby were attracted by the loudspeaker that suddenly appeared, and no one noticed that they disappeared in front of the ruins.
And they don't care whether passers-by believe the notice or not.
Even the passionate Xiao Tang understood that he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
Anyway, the notice has been received, and I have no regrets. Whether those people avoid the storm or not is their own business.
After crawling through the ruins, several people returned to the basement.
Before entering the house, Qiao Lan carefully checked the traps and obstacles in the passage, and added two trigger-type alarms to ensure that security was in place and no one could easily sneak in.
The two kittens heard the noise and meowed...
The little head pops out from the cat bed covered with a soft mattress, asking for food.
The milk is very sweet.
The mood of Qiao Lan and others that was upset by what they saw and heard along the way was repaired.
Qiao Lan was still fuming at Xiao Tang, but she was instantly overwhelmed by the sweetness of these two cats.
Hey, she thought to herself, why was she so angry at Xiao Tang for no reason? Maybe she was worried that Xiao Tang would repeat the same mistake and die in this life because of helping others?
No, no, she comforted herself silently, she had space and supplies in this life, and everyone would not be so miserable anymore.
"hey-hey."
Qiao Lan's mood improved and she gave Xiao Tang a huge smile.
Xiao Tang was startled, "...Sister, what's going on?"
Yelling and laughing at the same time, is this a test of one's mentality?
"Oh, don't worry, mom will feed you milk right away--"
As soon as Xiao Li entered the house, he pounced on the kitten, hurriedly prepared milk powder, and handed it to the kitten.
The two kittens were eager to drink milk.
One is snow-white, the other is black and white, the color of a cow, and they are wiggling around like two balls of wool.
"My dear children, Mommy has been out for a while. I miss you guys so much."
Xiao Li stroked the two fur balls and immersed himself in the happiness of feeding the cats.
During those first few days of facing the apocalypse, these two little creatures provided her with a great deal of comfort. Her ability to quickly shift her mindset, rather than being overwhelmed by the dire situation outside, likely stemmed from her imagining herself as a mother cat, reveling in the glory of motherhood.
But two kittens soon shattered her beautiful fantasy.
After eating, they staggered out of their nest with baby steps.
"Oh, little baby, where are you going? You want to take a walk after eating, right? Come, mommy will help you..."
Xiao Li called out softly, but they ignored him and walked all the way to Qiao Lan's feet.
The little cow-colored creature stretched out its little head and rubbed against her.
He raised his little paw and tickled her gently.
With a thud, one of them lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The snow-white one staggered over and tried hard to help the cow stand up.
Qiao Lan was settling the chef and his son into accommodation, telling them that they would be staying here for the next period of time. The father and his son sat there in a daze, without any reaction.
Qiao Lan sighed, I didn’t bring back two fools, did I?
At this time, the little kitten came over to rub against her. It was so soft and delicate, and fell down foolishly, which made her laugh.
He bent down, picked up the two cats, and held them in his arms.
The two little guys kept rubbing against her arms.
"What's going on?" Qiao Lan wondered. "Do you have lice?"
Tickle her?
Xiao Li's pretty face fell, and he muttered, "I think I think you're my mother."
"Um?"
"Kittens like to rub against their owners. On the one hand, it's for affection, and on the other hand, it leaves their scent on their owners, just like wild animals peeing in their territory, which is a way of declaring their dominance."
"ah?"
"They are declaring that you belong to them and no other cat can take you away."
Xiao Li was very depressed. "I've always been the one feeding them, why don't they come and rub against me?"
As if responding to her, the two kittens meowed a few times. The cow-colored one licked Qiao Lan more affectionately, while the pure white one opened its clear blue eyes and looked at Xiao Li indifferently.
"I'm being looked down upon?" Xiao Li was surprised to find that she could actually read emotions in the eyes of the kitten who was not even a month old!
The little white cat looked at her coldly, as if saying: You are just a breeder, don't think of being our mother.
"You are just a policeman. Don't think you can be our master and rule the world here!"
At this time, inside the Tsui Wah Hotel.
Ye Qi was surrounded by an excited crowd, several of whom were punching and shouting at him.
