My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 202

Chapter 202: Forever Together

“Miss, you’re right. Surviving by forfeiting our dignity and barely hanging on by a thread is very low and pitiful.” Ah-Qing closed her eyes. “In order to survive, we’ve already forsaken many, many things. We’ve completely abandoned ourselves. We don’t have a future!”

“And in reality, Little Miss was right. We ended up being infected in the end!” Ah-Qing turned to Qiao Mu and cried bitterly, “We discovered this two days ago. A person suddenly mutated. It was she who scratched my hand and the children’s hands.”

Ah-Jin felt like he was submerged in an icy lake as he shakily pulled back the scraps of clothing on the two children’s arms little by little. His eyes fixed on the patch of bluish black on each arm, and a full-grown man like him lost his voice from how hard he cried while hugging his children.

Everyone was silent, unable to say a word. No matter how cold-hearted they were, they could feel emotions rolling within them.

“Miss! Kill us!” Ah-Qing silently cried and lowered her head. “Even if you don’t kill us, we won’t survive after a few days. We’ll also become one of those frightening monsters loathed by everyone.”

“I’m just an ordinary woman. I haven’t lived my life with much dignity. But this time!” Ah-Qing’s voice choked. “I want… to die in a dignified manner with my children! Forever together.”

Faint lament flitted through Xu Shanshan’s cool eyes.

“Sirs and madams, you don’t have to kill the mayor’s son yet. If you take him outside, the crows in the sky won’t rashly attack you,” Ah-Qing said. “The mayor’s daughter-in-law is stronger, so you must be extremely cautious after leaving.”

“Also, the royal court sent a group of soldiers here. They are trapped in the farm on the north side of town,” a dark-eyed townsperson suddenly said. “Because powerful zombies like the mayor’s son and daughter-in-law appeared here, the low-level zombies who started to mutate seemed to be too scared to approach. However, they’re gathered at the farm… If it’s possible, I hope you can rescue more people. Don’t let them become as tragic as us.”

The senior sisters of the Holy Water Sect all quietly turned tearful. They pursed their lips and could not bear to look at Ah-Qing and the other townspeople anymore, so they all turned their heads to the side.

“Ah-Qing, this time, our family won’t be separated again.” Ah-Jin stopped crying. He tightly held his children and looked up at his wife.

“No!” Ah-Qing was shocked and frantically shook her head. “Leave! I don’t want you to stay! You don’t have the right to die with us anymore!”

“Ah-Qing.” Ah-Jin brought the two children to the front of his wife and tightly grasped her hands. “No, I have the right! From now on, I won’t abandon you and the children in pursuit of fleeting power. We’ll be together forever! Forever! Always!”

Ah-Qing’s lips pulled into a thin line and drop after drop of tears trickled down. Although her body was encased in ice, the place where her hands were held were boiling hot. Even her dead heart started sputtering alive and throbbed again.

“Have you decided?” Xu Shanshan coolly looked at Ah-Jin.

“I have!” Ah-Jin stood up and bowed with one arm across his chest. “Thank you, my teammates. Thank you for your help and support during this journey. I want to be willful one last time. I want to be together with my loved ones. I wish you a successful journey.”

Xiong Li turned her head and could not stop her tears from rolling down her face any longer.

“Okay! We’ll respect your decision!” Xu Shanshan gently nodded.

Everyone felt deep veneration for the man in front of them. They all raised an arm and bowed with it across their chest. “We wish you well, our friend.”

Qiao Mu took a deep breath and blinked before being the first to turn around and walk downstairs.

Duan Yue’s gaze trailed after the child.

After everyone and the bounded level-three zombie descended to the ground floor, a stifled sound of self-detonation was heard from the second floor…
