The World Is Ending And I Am Surrounded By Female Zombies Novel - Chapter 168
168 Gratitude
“You’re not staying?
“Sure, we won’t return the food you brought.
“You and your child can go out and fend for yourselves.
“It’s getting dark, you should think about it.”
Huang Rong touched his beer belly and drawled, one foot tapping the ground.
!!
The young woman froze up.
Huang Rong was right.
During the apocalypse, food was very important.
She could starve, but her child must not!
If she were to run out now, when the sky turned dark…
It was hard to say if they would even last until tomorrow.
As a mother, she was extremely conflicted.
If she stayed here, some terrible things would be done to her.
But if she left…
She and her child might not last more than one night…
“No one is forcing you to do anything in our camp.
“It’s all up to you.
“You can choose to do nothing, but we don’t give food to idlers.
“Think about it clearly,” Huang Rong said coldly.
The young women felt their hearts tighten.
When they were in Jin Bao’s camp, they had food and drinks, and their days were very comfy.
However, after experiencing the invasion yesterday, they all learned how cruel the world was now.
“I! I will!
“I’ll do anything you want!
“Please give me and my child some food!”
A short-haired woman said.
“I can do it too!
“I’m very skilled! I used to work in a hotel, but I turned over a new leaf.
“I know all the moves and positions!”
A young woman spoke up.
People were different. Some people were particularly easy to accept reality.
The righteous-looking young woman gritted her teeth and struggled in her heart.
If she was alone, she would rather starve herself to death than succumb to such rules.
But she had a child.
The child needed her.
She had to survive for both their sakes.
Just as she was feeling conflicted, Wang Ran spoke.
“I believe in fate.
“What are your children’s names? Tell me,” Wang Ran said indifferently.
“Zhang Jian.”
“Li Xunhuan.”
“He Zhan.”
…
The young women gave the names of their children.
Wang Ran looked at the mother of the child whose surname was “He”.
She was the strong-willed woman.
From the looks of it, she was very likely He Xiang’s wife.
“Rong, this one shall remain with her child.
“Take the others away. I don’t want to be disturbed.”
Wang Ran waved to Huang Rong.
“Understood!
“You guys, follow me!”
Huang Rong brought the other mother and son out.
Wang Ran and He Zhan were the only ones left in the room.
“You…” What do you want me to do?
“If it’s just a back massage, I can…”
“If you want to do something even more outrageous, I’ll fight you to the death,” the young woman said, her eyes red.
From the looks of it, she was still prepared to resist to the end.
“Do you know He Xiang?”
Wang Ran saw that she was in a state of panic, so he went straight to the point.
“Ah Xiang?
“You! Who the hell are you!
“How do you know about Xiang?
“How is he now?”
The young woman’s tears gushed out.
Yesterday, when the tide of zombies came, He Xiang had led their retreat.
After everyone had left in an orderly manner, He Xiang returned to the front line to buy time for everyone.
Everyone knew that going back to face the army of zombies was basically a one-way trip.
She had lost hope at that point.
Now that she heard her husband’s name again, she couldn’t hold back her tears.
“He’s fine. I took in several others from your camp. Your husband is one of them.
“Your leaders are outside, trying to find you.
“I came to this camp to do something. I heard that there was a group of people who sounded like they had come from Jin Bao’s Camp, so I tried this method.
“It worked.”
Wang Ran said, as he stuffed a few bags of snacks into the little boy’s hands.
The little boy looked at his mother, and after getting her approval, he opened the package and started eating.
Usually, parents wouldn’t let their children eat junk food such as potato chips.
However, in the post-apocalyptic world, it had high calories.
“Xiang is alright…
“That is really great!
“Can I go and find him?”
The young woman asked.
This time, her eyes were shining with hope.
“I’m here to do something. After I’m done, I’ll take you back with me.
“For now, just stay put here. No one should pick on you,” Wang Ran said.
Who would dare to snatch a woman that a rank-three Awakened had his eyes on?
“Sir, thank you so much!”
The young woman knelt down in front of Wang Ran.
Not only did Wang Ran save her husband, but he was also providing protection for the her and her child.
She owed him the lives of her family.
When he saw his mother kneeling, the boy quickly placed his chips down and followed suit.
He had been raised well.
“Alright, stay here for now.
“I’ll take you to He Xiang after I’m done with my business.”
Wang Ran helped them up.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, Wang Ran opened the door and walked out of the room.
“Wang Ran, you’re done?
“How did that young mother taste?”
Huang Rong was smoking a cigarette in the corridor. When he saw Wang Ran come out, he immediately greeted him.
“Not bad.
“I’ve booked this woman for the night, so just leave her for me.”
The corners of Wang Ran’s mouth rose slightly.
“No problem, sir.”
Huang Rong naturally understood what Wang Ran meant.
“By the way, sir, the antidote…
“Is it…”
Huang Rong hinted.
Wang Ran took out a small paper bag from his pocket. Inside the bag was the Vitamin C powder that he had just prepared.
“One packet lasts you a day.
“Three days straight, you’re free to go,” Wang Ran said.
Huang Rong’s eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the paper bag and poured the powder into his mouth.
As soon as the powder entered his mouth, Huang Rong immediately perked up.
“Is White Hair not back yet?”
Wang Ran asked.
“No, he isn’t.
“I wonder if they’ve encountered any difficulties.”
Huang Rong was also a little puzzled.
White Hair was arguably the most efficient member of the camp. What was keeping him?
At that moment, Huang Rong’s walkie-talkie suddenly chirped.
“All rank-two and rank-threes who are not on guard duty, get down here!
“This is an emergency!”
The voice of the camp’s boss, Derek Zhang, came from the walkie-talkie.
“Emergency?
“Sir, let’s hurry.”
Huang Rong brought Wang Ran to Derek Zhang’s room.
There were already more than ten people in the room.
One of them was a yellow-haired guy who looked particularly arrogant. He was probably a rank-three Awakened.
“Since almost everyone is here, I’ll begin.
“We have a situation.”
Derek Zhang’s expression was grave.
