This child really knows how to lie without batting an eye.
Even Ye Jing, who was often forced to lie by human traffickers, was humbled by this. Not wanting to be misunderstood by Qiao An'an, he turned to her and explained, "I killed the child because I discovered he was a zombie..."
Qiao An'an sheathed her longsword: "I believe you, but I'm not going to kill him now. Letting him die a quick death would be too easy for him. I heard that the process of turning into a zombie is very painful. You guys load the chickens and piglets into the tricycle first. I want to watch him turn into a zombie here."
Chi Ming still held onto a sliver of hope, hoping that his son really hadn't been bitten by a zombie, as he himself had said, and that Song Xing had been strangled to death by Ye Jing. However, he was also afraid that Chi Ming might have been infected, so he tacitly approved of Qiao An'an's decision.
Seeing that even his father wasn't helping him, Chi Haoyu became anxious and unleashed a torrent of vile insults: "What right do you have to kidnap me? You'll all die a horrible death... (For the sake of civility, I'll use 'blah blah blah' instead)..."
Qiao An'an pretended not to hear, because she had already seen that the blood vessels in Chi Haoyu's wound had turned dark brown, and these dark brown blood vessels were spreading at an alarming rate. Before long, the virus would spread to his brain.
Look at his ferocious appearance now.
This process must be very uncomfortable.
It's good that he's upset. Qiao An'an wants Chi Haoyu to be upset, otherwise she'd be letting down the deceased Song Xing.
Chi Haoyu initially wanted to live, but after being infected, it felt as if countless ants were tearing at his body, and his internal organs were being ripped out of his heart. He could no longer curse and only begged for a quick death: "Kill me, it's too painful, please!"
Chi Ming had clearly noticed the changes in his son's arm. He knew his son was infected and beyond saving. All he wanted now was for his son to be spared so much pain. He turned to Qiao An'an and asked, "Can you give him a quick death?"
Qiao An'an answered firmly: "No!!!"
Chi Ming had witnessed Qiao An'an kill people cleanly and efficiently. She had even killed the leader of the masked men. He knew that he would not gain anything by clashing with Qiao An'an, so he stopped talking. However, he couldn't bear to see his son suffer, so he could only silently go out to help catch chickens and piglets.
Qiao An'an used the bed sheet to secure Chi Haoyu, along with the chair he was sitting in, to the door frame. After doing all this, Chi Haoyu had completely turned into a zombie, only able to roar at Qiao An'an and Ya Ya. Qiao An'an handed the long sword to Ya Ya: "Kill him and avenge Song Xing!"
Although the sword was only 70 centimeters long and very thin.
The petite Yaya still couldn't hold it steady, but thinking of Song Xing, she still tried her best to grip the sword with both hands and stabbed it towards the head of Chi Haoyu, who had turned into a zombie.
The longsword was extremely sharp, piercing straight through Chi Haoyu, who had turned into a zombie. Seeing the dark red blood flowing from Chi Haoyu's head, Ya Ya was so frightened that she released the longsword, threw herself into Qiao An'an's arms, and trembled uncontrollably.
Qiao An'an had never imagined that Ya Ya's hands would be stained with blood.
She thought that as long as she was strong enough, she could protect Ya Ya from all the malice of the apocalypse and let her grow up carefree, kind and happy in the apocalypse. However, too many things have happened these days, making her realize that life in the apocalypse is like licking blood off a knife's edge, and she might have to leave her Ya Ya one day.
She came back just in time today.
What if she dies someday?
When that time comes, who will be able to protect Ya Ya like she did?
The right way to raise Ya Ya is to make her stronger and adapt to the apocalypse. She rubbed Ya Ya's head and said, "Don't be afraid, Ya Ya. Mommy wants to train you and make you strong. But even if you become very strong in the future, you can't bully others. If someone tries to bully you, you have to pay them back a thousand times over."
Ya Ya still had tears on her face, but she nodded vigorously nonetheless.
Qiao An'an put Ya Ya down with relief, then picked up Song Xing's body, carefully wrapped it in the quilt on the bed, and said to Ya Ya, "Take your little shovel with you, we'll give Song Xing a proper burial."
After Ya Ya hummed in agreement, she and Qiao An'an went out the door together.
Outside, Li Jianguo and his two children had already put the piglets and several chickens into a cage and loaded it onto the tricycle.
The IV drip for Dahei was finished for the day. Qin Chengguo was worried that the tricycle would be too bumpy, so he took off his coat and made a bag to hold Dahei in his arms, preparing to carry it to the vehicle.
Seemingly feeling a bit better, Dahei barely opened its eyes after smelling Qiao An'an's scent and even tried to wag its tail once, but only once. It was in too much pain and couldn't wag it a second time.
Qiao An'an nodded gratefully to Qin Chengguo: "I thank you on behalf of Dahei."
Qin Chengguo hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, we should all thank Dahei. If it weren't for Dahei, we would have been wiped out on the very night we arrived."
Qiao An'an didn't say anything more and brought Ya Ya to dig a grave for Song Xing.
Chi Ming entered the room after Qiao An'an and the others left. He saw that his son's face had turned pale and his round eyes had turned bluish-gray. His son had indeed become a zombie.
He gently closed his son's eyes.
A feeling of sorrow welled up in my heart, like a white-haired person burying a black-haired person.
After Qiao An'an and the others came out, Qin Chengguo stayed with Chi Ming. Fearing that Chi Ming might do something rash, he came in to comfort him, saying, "This was an accident. None of us expected that Chi Haoyu's kick would kill Song Xing. You... please accept my condolences..."
Although Chi Ming harbored resentment, he also knew that his child had brought this upon himself. After sighing, he prepared to give his son a proper burial: "I'm fine..."
Qiao An'an buried Song Xing in the yard outside the wooden house and erected a tombstone with a wooden plank.
Ya Ya picked a lot of wildflowers from nearby and wove a wreath to place on the tombstone. She then put the lollipop that Song Xing hadn't gotten to eat in front of the tombstone: "I've washed the dust off the area with water. It's super sweet now, you have to try it..."
Chi Ming wanted to bury Chi Haoyu in the yard as well, but Qiao An'an directly refused: "Song Xing probably doesn't want to be neighbors with Chi Haoyu, bury him somewhere far away."
Chi Ming didn't say anything more and turned to go outside the courtyard.
Seeing that Chi Ming had left, Li Jianguo approached him and asked, "Could this guy get revenge on us? Should I go over there and take care of him now?"
Qin Chengguo quickly stopped Li Jianguo: "I don't think Chi Ming is an unreasonable person. He wasn't angry when Qiao An'an said those things to him, so he probably won't retaliate against us. His child made a mistake, so we can't condemn him as well, especially since he is Chi Xiaoyu's father."
Qiao An'an was silent for a moment, then said to Li Jianguo, "From now on, your task is to keep a close eye on Chi Ming. If you find anything unusual about him, report it to us immediately."
Li Jianguo had been quite excited, expecting Qiao An'an to say that if anything unusual happened, there would be no mercy, but instead she said to report immediately. He immediately deflated and drawled, "Okay..."
P.S.: I lost my perfect attendance bonus this month, and I also lost my Spark bonus, sob sob. I almost decided to only update one chapter today, but I was afraid you guys would beat me up, so I updated two chapters instead. I'm just wondering, is it okay if I update one chapter tomorrow?
