The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 40
Chapter 40 Final Meeting Of Parents
After all the ordinary survivors got into the car, Eyeglasses and Qiangzi quickly returned to Yi Fan’s side. With the help of a few evolvers, they quickly tidied up. The generator was already installed in the dregs truck. Qiangzi and the others found a few iron barrels from somewhere, which could be considered as collecting some gasoline.
Fei Na brought the evolved Qin Shaoda to Yifan.
Fei Na: “Ordinary evolvers don’t have elemental abilities or innate skills.”
Yi Fan nodded his head and said, “Qin Shaoda, are you from the first group or the second group?”
Qin Shaoda said, “First group.”
Yi Fan: “Return to your team and do your best in the future!” Qin Shaodali turned around and walked towards the bus.
Yifan then said to Eyeglasses and Fei Na, “We need to speed up now. There’s the Round-the-City Highway ahead. We need to stop when we pass the East Railway Station. Ling Wanyao’s home is over there. Then we’ll have to hurry as fast as we can. I want to get home by 2 pm.”
“Eyeglasses, find out the information about the people who haven’t left yet. Have them make a roster and show it to me later.”
Eyeglasses nodded and asked, “Can those who have left really become evolvers?”
Yi Fan said indifferently, “It depends on their luck and their courage. If they evolved before 8 o’clock tonight, then it would be done. If they evolved after 8 o’clock… hehe.”
Yi Fan did not continue. Eyeglasses and Fina were both puzzled.
Eyeglasses asked again, “What will happen after 8 o’clock?”
Yifan said expressionlessly, “Heavenly Secrets must not be revealed. Hehe, you will know when the time comes. We should go. Inform the convoy to set off. I will be in Fei Na’s car. You just need to follow behind. You and the first group of Evolution Ones will be behind.”
“Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!” The engine rumbled and the convoy set off again.
At the east bus station of C City, Yi Fan stopped the convoy at a resting area near the east bus station.
Yifan looked at the situation at the east station below. Thousands or even tens of thousands of zombies lingered in the huge station.
Yifan turned around and asked, “Ling Wanyao, don’t tell me that your home is very close to the East Railway Station. That would be troublesome.”
Ling Wanyao also saw the large group of zombies below and nervously said, “No, my home is behind the East Station. There is a small store on the roadside. My family lives on the second floor.”
Yifan instructed his spectacles and told him to lead the convoy to wait in this resting area. He brought Ling Wanyao and Fei Na with him and flew away.
Glasses looked at Yifan who was running away. They called for Qiangzi, Zhang Liang, Zhou Xin, and the others to come over together. They took out a pack of Hibiscus King from their pockets, lit one of them themselves, and handed the cigarette box to Qiangzi.
Qiangzi nodded and said, “Eyeglasses, the boss just said that those people will only have a chance at advancing at 8 o’clock. Could it be that after 8 o’clock, there will be no chance?”
Eyeglasses took a sip of his cigarette helplessly and said, “I don’t know. How would I know? He didn’t say anything. Tell me what his prophetic ability is. I didn’t listen to him last time.”
Zhang Liang opened his mind and said, “It may not be a prophecy ability, but it is also possible that Yi Fan is the illegitimate son of a high-ranking man in China. He was told beforehand.”
Eyeglasses also opened her head and said, “It could also be that netizen. I saw that netizen’s reply to Yifan. It was a full page. Could it be that netizen of hers be the daughter of a military boss?”
Zhou Xin smiled bitterly and said, “Stop guessing, what the hell are you guessing? Your guesses are completely unfounded. I prefer the prophetic abilities you mentioned, because abilities are so varied. Perhaps Brother Fan has awakened such an ability.”
Qiang Zi looked at them with contempt and said, “Guess what? The more Yi Fan knows, the more advantageous it will be for us. You see, Yi Fan might have concealed something from others along the way, but for us, he told us everything he should have told us. As for the rest, who doesn’t have some secrets? Why are you entangled in this? You’re really boring.”
In just 30 minutes, Yifan brought two people back. Ling Wanyao’s eyes were a little red, and there was a woman in her forties beside her. Her complexion was a little pale and her skin was well maintained. Her facial features were similar to Ling Wanyao’s, but she was much more mature. She did not seem heartless and lively like Ling Wanyao.
Yifan said to Ling Wanyao, “Form your mother into the second brigade. Let her sit on the bus. You accompany her and replace Qiangzi.”
Ling Wanyao nodded and said, “Thank you, Senior Yifan.”
Ling Wanyao’s mother said sincerely, “Thank you, thank you.”
Eyeglasses, Qiangzi, Zhou Xin, Zhang Liang, and the others didn’t look too good when they saw Yifan. They didn’t say hello and quickly got in the car.
A moment later, Yi Fan’s motorcade set off again. Fina’s off-road vehicle sat in the passenger seat. Zhang Liang and Qiang Zi sat behind. Along the way, cauliflower opened the road. There weren’t many zombies on the highway, and the abandoned vehicles wouldn’t follow too closely. Occasionally, a dozen or so cars would chase after them. With cauliflower on, they would be able to quickly drive home without any obstruction.
Qiangzi suddenly asked, “Boss, how is Ling Wanyao’s family?”
Yifan said helplessly, “Ah … what else can we do? Dad and brother are gone, only her mother is left. I didn’t ask what happened, only her mother knows.”
Qiang Zi pretended to be cheerful and smiled, “Oh, I can’t go back now. Perhaps it’s a good thing.”
Yifan knew that Qiangzi was comforting himself. He nodded and said, “In the current situation, no news is actually the best news. At the very least, you will have this hope.”
Zhang Liang’s home is in the Xiguang area, It was also quite far from C City. Furthermore, it was in the mountains. Although Zhang Liang didn’t say anything, he still had some worries in his heart. However, he knew that with his current abilities, he couldn’t go back. Therefore, he didn’t say anything, didn’t mention anything, and didn’t want to bring up this topic. Now that he heard Qiangzi and Yifan talking about this topic, he sighed from behind the car, but didn’t say anything.
Everyone didn’t say anything else, and the car fell into silence.
11 p.m. 8 May 2030.
Yifan finally saw his home from afar, and his heart began to surge. On the third day after the apocalypse, Yifan finally arrived home at noon. Although he told his mother not to go out at 8 o’clock, now that he was at the door, he was a little nervous. He thought of the situation in Zhou Xin’s family and couldn’t help but become nervous.
Yifan’s home was right under the CY Expressway. It was only 50 meters away from the highway. Yifan stopped the car. There was no resting area here. Yifan had everyone park in the left lane. He brought Fei Na, glasses, Zhang Liang, Zhou Xin, Ji Ruoxue, Qiangzi, Wang Yang, and the others out of the car and ran wildly. Only Wang Bo, Ling Wanyao, and the others were left to guard the convoy.
Fina followed Yi Fan closely with a nervous expression. She knew that she would soon see Yi Fan’s parents. She drove while tidying her clothes and hair while in the car. Now that she was following Yi Fan, her heart started to beat faster.
She is a Chinese major. She also knows that the thinking of the older generation of Chinese parents is generally more traditional. What if his parents don’t like me doing this? What if his parents can’t accept a foreign daughter-in-law? What will Yifan do at that time? She is thinking nonsense.
Yifan turned around and saw through her thoughts. “Don’t worry, although my father is a farmer, my mother is a very open-minded intellectual. They won’t have any objections. Even if they do, they will respect my choice in this matter. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to escape for the rest of your life. Stop thinking nonsense.”
In fact, Yifan was comforting Fei Na, but his heart was extremely nervous. He was a little scared. After passing through the barbed wire fence by the highway, he saw his home. He was even more scared. He stopped and turned to look behind him. Glasses, Zhang Liang, Zhou Xin, Ji Ruoxue, Qiangzi, and Wang Yang all followed him.
“Let’s go, Brother Fan. I will always be by your side.” Fei Na said nervously. Everyone behind him looked at him with encouragement.
Yi Fan took a deep look at Fina and tightly grabbed her hand without saying a word. He brought her down, followed by Eyeglasses and the others behind him.
Yifan’s family wasn’t the closest to the highway. Under the barbed wire was a small bamboo forest. There was a family under the bamboo forest. That family was a small family in Yifan. This bamboo forest had Yifan’s childhood memories.
She quietly walked down the bamboo forest and arrived at Aunt Dong’s cement flat. Yifan saw Aunt Dong in her kitchen with a ferocious expression. She was eating with an arm in her hand. Her mouth was full of flesh and blood residues. It was as if she heard the sound from outside the window. She leaned against the window and howled, as if she wanted to rush out to bite Yifan and the others.
Yi Fan said to Zhou Xin, trembling slightly, “Zhou Xin, help me send Aunt Dong off. She loved to be clean the most when she was alive. If she was conscious now, she would be very anxious.”
“Whoosh!” An iron arrow shot out from between Aunt Dong’s eyebrows and pierced through the back of his head. Aunt Dong collapsed powerlessly. Zhou Xin had already retracted his bow and stood without saying anything.
Yifan was also silent. Everyone walked to Aunt Dong’s cement pavement. Two zombies rushed out from the cement pavement next door. One was a man and one was a woman. Yifan did not move. Glasses and Qiangzi looked at each other and rushed forward.
“Puchi …!” The couple’s heads flew up.
Yifan tightened his grip on Fei Na. Yifan knew the two of them. They were also neighbors of the Yifan family. It seemed that their family had been completely annihilated.
Yifan’s heart couldn’t help but tighten. When the couple came over, there was a mutilated corpse on the ground. However, a child’s mutilated corpse was only a few years old. Its head had already been completely eaten. Only its limbs and body were left. There was nothing in its chest. Yifan didn’t look anymore. He pulled Fei Na and the others towards his door with his glasses.
Yi Fan’s house was right across the street. His house belonged to the village entrance of this area. He walked along a country cement road and arrived at his house’s terrazzo floor. His house was not small, it was a three-story country building with more than 300 square meters.
Yi Fan finally reached the terrazzo floor. Yi Fan was a little nervous. The curtains upstairs and downstairs were all pulled up. He couldn’t see anything inside. This made Yi Fan feel much more at ease. Yi Fan was standing downstairs, and everyone was standing behind him.
Yi Fan shouted in a trembling voice, “Mom, Mom, are you in there? I’m back! Mom, I’m back!”
The window upstairs suddenly opened a small crack. The curtains were slightly opened, and a middle-aged woman revealed half of her head to take a look.
“Whoosh…!” The window opened and Yifan’s mother’s surprised voice sounded, “Little Fan, Little Fan, you’re finally back! Little Fan, wait. I’ll call your father to open the door.”
Hearing his mother tell his father to open the door, tears flowed out of Yi Fan’s eyes. His parents, who had lost contact with him in his previous life, were safe and sound in this life.
Yi Fan silently swore in his heart, “Mom and Dad, I will definitely protect you in this life …”
