Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You Novel - Chapter 108

Chapter 108 Dead Baby

The young men behind him looked at the beautiful Su Shanshan with a hint of lust in their eyes. They rubbed their hands and came over. When she first entered the village, she had attracted the attention of many people. After all, such a beautiful woman was rare even before the apocalypse, not to mention after the apocalypse.

As they approached, Gu Jincheng raised his head and looked at them like he was looking at dead people. A purple lightning ball was instantly conjured in his hand and he threw it at their feet.

There was a loud bang and a huge pit appeared between them, blocking these people from approaching Su Shanshan.

These young people were so scared that their desires disappeared instantly. They looked at the man in the wheelchair in horror. Wang Da said in a panic, “You’re a god too?” God?

His address made Gu Jincheng and Su Shanshan frown. It was already a year after the apocalypse started. Did they not know about the existence of superpowered people?

But they did not explain and just looked at them coldly.

“This is all my fault. I apologize to you. Please have a good rest.” Wang Da’s expression changed for a moment before he said.

They walked quickly towards the back of the village, their footsteps hurried as if they were very afraid of them. This strange behavior gave the two of them a new hunch about what was going on.

“There must be a superpowered person in this village.” When Wang Da said that Gu Jincheng was also a god, it meant that there was a god here, or that he had seen a god.

Gu Jincheng was calm and his emotions could not be read. “Continue to rest.”

The two of them entered the room. After the commotion, the entire village fell silent.

Su Shanshan held the piece of paper in her hand. This was what the woman had stuffed into her hands when she threw the package under the bed. She naturally put away the bag that had not been found.

Su Shanshan closed the door and took out the small package from her space. When she got close, she smelled something very strange. There was blood and a hint of mold.

Curious, she opened a gap. There was a baby inside.

No, it was a dead baby.

Although the baby’s face was rosy and fair, he no longer breathed. They wondered how they could maintain the baby’s appearance like he was alive.

Su Shanshan showed him to Gu Jincheng, who reached out and gently pinched the baby’s ear. His ears were hard, and this result made Gu Jincheng’s expression darken.

Seeing that he seemed to know something, Su Shanshan asked, “You know what this is?”

Gu Jincheng nodded and said, “Recently, there have been frequent attacks by a group of monsters around the base. They have babies’ heads, but their bodies are animalistic. We have been investigating secretly. When I first met Wang Da, I sensed the same aura as the monsters on him.”

Su Shanshan nodded knowingly. ‘I see. No wonder he had agreed to enter the village.’

“Don’t think about it. There’s a tough battle tomorrow. Rest early,” Gu Jincheng said.

The two of them lay on the bed. This time, they did not speak and just rested. After all this, their bodies were almost at their limits.

The next day at dawn, Su Shanshan and Gu Jincheng woke up. They could not really sleep at ease in such a place.

As expected, before they could go out, someone knocked on the door. Su Shanshan saw Gu Jincheng sitting in a wheelchair before opening the door. Outside the door stood the village chief, Wang Da. She heard him poke his head into the room and smile. “You’re already awake. I’ve just prepared breakfast for the two of you.”

Su Shanshan’s eyes flashed but she didn’t reject him. Instead, she nodded and said, “Thank you.”

“It’s alright. Come to the room next door after you’re done packing. We’ll wait for you to eat together.” With that, Wang Da left.

Wang Da’s attitude was even more solicitous than yesterday. He must be up to something.

Su Shanshan turned around and looked at Gu Jincheng. The two of them looked at each other. They were thinking the same thing.

“Be careful, there should be someone else,” Gu Jincheng said.

Su Shanshan nodded and pushed Gu Jincheng to the house beside her.
