Just when Jiang Yanxin was about to break out in a cold sweat, Chen Wan continued, "You can use it for self-defense. You don't have to give it to me. I still have the axe in my hand. I just washed it, and the smell is not so strong anymore."
As if remembering something, Chen Wan stood up and walked out again.
At this time, Jiang Yanxin's hand that was clutching the blanket loosened slightly, and she took a few deep breaths. Chen Wan discovered that she had secretly hidden a fruit knife, but fortunately, he did not pursue any further action.
Jiang Yanxin's mind was in a mess. On the one hand, she was afraid that Chen Wan was still the scumbag Chen Wan before, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Chen Wan had really become a different person. This was an unknown fear for her. It was too difficult for her, an Omega, to survive in the apocalypse with a three-year-old child. She and her child had no one to rely on. Could she trust the person in front of her?
Chen Wan knew that Jiang Yanxin was probably holding the knife to protect herself, but she didn't care. After all, she had to be on guard against a scumbag like her original self. As long as she didn't provoke Jiang Yanxin, Jiang Yanxin probably wouldn't make a move. Even if Jiang Yanxin made a move, he would not be her opponent.
Chen Wan had just found an unopened bottle of mineral water between the first and second rows of shelves, and now he simply moved the bottle to where the three of them were resting.
Not only did they not have enough food to eat at Zhang Qiang's place, they also had very few chances to drink water. In the moonlight, Zizi saw the bottle of water that her mother had brought back, and she licked it subconsciously with her little mouth. She was thirsty, but she didn't dare tell her mother.
Mommy has wanted to throw her away several times. She must be good and obedient and eat less. If Mommy doesn't think she is a trouble, she won't throw her away so quickly.
Chen Wan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zizi, saying to him in a gentle tone, "Yangyang, come and drink some water. Drinking more water is good for your health."
Zizi stood there in a daze, feeling a bit overwhelmed. In the past, Mommy always drank first, and if she wanted to drink, she had to beg Mommy. Even if she begged Mommy, Mommy might not give her the water and would just think she was a bother.
Seeing that Zizi was standing there in a daze without saying a word, Jiang Yanxin reached out and took the water that Chen Wan handed over. She glanced at Chen Wan and whispered, "Thank you."
"No need." Chen Wan shook his head and handed Jiang Yanxin a bottle of water, motioning her to drink.
Jiang Yanxin stared at Chen Wan's expression and reached out to take the water.
She first took the water and let her daughter drink a few sips. Seeing that her daughter wanted to drink water but didn't dare to drink it, Jiang Yanxin hated Chen Wan to death.
It was Chen Wan's actions that made his daughter become like this.
Jiang Yanxin coaxed him cautiously, "Yangyang, drink some more water, please. You haven't had any water in several days."
Zizi pursed her lips. She heard what her mother said and actually wanted to drink a few more sips, but she was afraid that her mother would think she drank too much and want to throw her away, so she kept looking at Chen Wan.
Chen Wan also noticed Zizi's gaze and smiled at him, saying, "Your mother is right. Drinking more water is good for your health. There's still plenty over there. Don't save it."
When the baby heard that her mommy agreed to let her drink more water, she nodded her head happily, and took several sips from the plastic bottle with her little hand.
Jiang Yanxin felt so sad when she saw such a child.
Chen Wan drank a few sips of water, stood up and went to search the shelves again, bringing over all the edible things. Food and water are the most indispensable things in the apocalypse, so he should try to get all he can find.
She also opened a few packets of biscuits and ate them quickly. She still had a tough battle to fight next. Once it was dawn tomorrow, Zhang Qiang would definitely have someone check this area. Now it was so dark, and if she took Jiang Yanxin and the others away from here, the situation would not be much better. Who knew if they would encounter a large group of zombies on the road? The best way was to quickly bind to the RV mentioned by the system and take Jiang Yanxin and the others away before dawn.
Chen Wan quickened his eating speed and asked the system, "What time is it now?"
"It's 11 o'clock in the evening. What are your plans next, host? Do you want to bind the RV?" The purpose of the system's existence is to correct the plot that has gone off topic. The whole book should revolve around the RV. Its host has not even bound the RV yet. Once the host's life is in danger, it will be directly wiped out by the Universe Bookstore.
"Well, you still help me check the surrounding situation later. I want to try my luck in the underground garage of the shopping mall. However, RVs are generally not parked in underground parking lots. If there is really no RV, can I bind an ordinary car first?" Chen Wan also expressed his doubts. Large vehicles are generally not allowed to enter underground parking lots.
“Yes, but it would require multiple smaller vehicles to merge, and it would take longer.”
"Okay, after we go down, you still help me scan the surroundings." Chen Wan thought for a while and said in his mind.
"Okay host, system No. 111 is on standby at any time." The system's mechanical voice sounded again.
Chen Wan thought for a moment and stood up to remove an aluminum alloy tube from the shelf.
He handed the axe in the room to Jiang Yanxin: "Take this. When I go out later, block the door like I did just now. Our situation is too dangerous now. I want to go down to the garage to see if I can find a means of transportation such as an RV. Zhang Qiang and his people will not stop so easily. We'd better leave before dawn."
When Jiang Yanxin heard Chen Wan say these words, her first reaction was not happiness or concern for Chen Wan's safety, but subconscious fear that Chen Wan was going to do something weird again, and she wondered if Chen Wan would abandon her and the child again like he had done many times before.
Being abandoned by the people around you is too painful. Jiang Yanxin has experienced it once. Chen Wan has long wanted to give herself to Zhang Qiang, but Chen Wan seemed like a different person tonight. Somehow he escaped with her and her baby. However, this emotion engraved in her bones would spread, making her feel cold in her heart just by hearing what Chen Wan said.
Jiang Yanxin didn't pick up the axe. Instead, she grabbed Chen Wan's arm, her voice trembling: "Are you really going to find a car, or do you want to give up on me and the baby? Or are you going back to surrender to Zhang Qiang? Are you going to give me to Zhang Qiang?"
Jiang Yanxin's eyes were red, and the dirt on her face could not hide her beauty.
Chen Wan understood Jiang Yanxin's concerns and explained, "Don't worry, I won't ignore you, and I won't give you away. You're not an object, and your freedom shouldn't be controlled by me. If we don't have a car, we'll probably be caught by Zhang Qiang tomorrow. Time is running out, and I don't know what's going on in the basement. I have to get down as soon as possible."
Jiang Yanxin didn't move the hand that was holding Chen Wan's arm, and even used more force.
Chen Wan looked at Jiang Yanxin, not knowing what Jiang Yanxin was going to do. Just when she wanted to pull her arm out, Jiang Yanxin moved.
Chen Wan looked at Jiang Yanxin and saw that her eyes were red and she was sniffing as she hugged him.
Chen Wan was surprised for a moment and didn't react to the situation. Why did Jiang Yanxin suddenly hug him?
The next moment, Jiang Yanxin moved closer. Her eyes were slightly red, and she spoke in a coquettish tone, "Then don't lie to me. Yangyang and I are really scared. Can you promise me that you won't abandon me and Yangyang?"
Jiang Yanxin spoke in a coquettish tone, but she felt nauseous in her heart. If it weren't for the baby, she would rather die than beg the scum in front of her. She wanted to pull out the fruit knife in her arms and hit Chen Wanlai a few times, but her reason told her not to do this. She had to consider her baby.
I don't know if
It was Chen Wan's illusion. She always felt that Jiang Yanxin had a sweet grape scent, which made her want to hug Jiang Yanxin. Chen Wan clenched her fists, endured the temptation and did not move, trying her best to look away from Jiang Yanxin. Although she was a straight girl, she would get nervous easily when hugging a girl like this. After all, she was a single dog in her previous life.
Chen Wan coughed lightly and then assured, "Don't worry, I will be back soon and will not abandon you. You must hold on to the axe. It may save your life in a critical moment."
Jiang Yanxin nodded slightly, "Okay."
She stood up from Chen Wan's arms. When she heard that her mother was leaving, she huddled in her arms in fear. Was she going to abandon her too this time? Was she no longer going to care about her and her mother anymore?
Thinking about the zombies he had just seen, Zizi shook his shoulders and tried to hold back from making any sound, but tears kept falling down.
Jiang Yanxin held the baby tightly in her arms and coaxed him softly, "Yangyang, be good, why are you crying?"
The baby buried his little head in Jiang Yanxin's arms, his voice filled with sobs: "Mommy, does Mommy not want us anymore?"
Chen Wan felt a little uncomfortable with her baby's cautiousness. She walked over and gently touched her baby's back, coaxing him: "Mommy is just going out for a while. You stay here and sleep obediently. I'll be back when you wake up."
With tears still in his eyes, Zizi looked at Chen Wan softly and asked in a low voice, somewhat disbelievingly, "Really?"
Chen Wan nodded and touched the top of her daughter's head. "Really, Mommy will be quick."
Then, she looked at Jiang Yanxin again and warned, "Be careful, Zhang Qiang's men won't come before dawn, and the zombies won't easily surround us if they can't hear any movement. I have to go down quickly."
Jiang Yanxin stared at Chen Wan intently, her hands trembling slightly as she held the baby, but she finally nodded.
Jiang Yanxin comforted the baby and asked him to stay where he was and not move. She then followed Chen Wan to the door.
Chen Wan quickly moved the chair at the door, pulled out the aluminum alloy bar stuck in the door handle, gently opened the door and went out. After she went out, she quickly closed the door again, stretched out her hand and gestured, indicating to Jiang Yanxin to block the door.
Walking in the dark for a long time prevented Chen Wan from groping in the dark. She decided to go down the safety stairs on the other side and try not to provoke the zombies head-on.
She clutched an aluminum alloy pipe and tried to slow her pace. Luckily, she hadn't encountered any zombies on her way down. After reaching the first floor, Chen Wan looked around and saw that this underground level was the entrance to the supermarket. She only had a useless steel pipe in her hand. If she did encounter a zombie, a broken pipe wouldn't kill them. She needed to be prepared before going down to the basement!
