Zombie Apocalypse - Chapter 46
Chapter 0046 Lu Yan’s Wife
At six o’clock in the morning, Qin An and the others woke up early.
Liu Jia slept soundly last night, but she didn’t sleep well. She had a dream all night.
Lan Yue took out a few bags of bread from her small cabinets and threw them to Qin An and Liu Jia. Then she said, “The shelf life is one year. Now that it has expired for more than two months, you might want to go to the bathroom after eating, but it’s a waste if you don’t eat it! So eat it, you won’t die!”
Qin An curled his lips and said, “Are you going to give us this?”
Lan Yue had already opened the bag of bread and said, “This is good stuff. It’s hard to find now!”
Qin An was speechless, so he could only open the bag, eat the dry bread, and drink the water Lan Yu handed over.
Liu Jia wasn’t picky, she wasn’t in the mood, she had always been depressed.
After breakfast, Lan Yue brought Qin An and Liu Jia out of the house and shuttled between strange tents. After walking for about 40 minutes, she arrived at a small house built from mud and weeds.
Lan Yue took out her watch and took a look. Then, she said, “It’s almost seven o’clock. The team that went out of the city to clean up the zombies should be back soon, right? This is the time they came back from before! Let’s talk quickly, and then finish quickly, shall we?”
Qin An nodded and went forward to knock on the door of the thatched cottage.
After knocking on the door for only two times, it opened. The woman who walked out of the door caused Qin An and Liu Jia to be slightly stunned.
Although this woman was very beautiful and neat, no matter how she looked at it, she had to be forty years old. She could be considered a charming half-old Xu Niang.
Qin An was stunned for a few seconds before he hurriedly said, “Hello, big sister. I want to ask if Lu Yan’s wife lives here.” After he finished speaking, he used his eyes to look at Lan Yue.
Who knew that Lan Yue would come up and smile at that woman and say, “Qin An, you don’t know her. Let me introduce her to you. She is Lu Yan’s wife, Sister-in-law Lu! Sister-in-law Lu, these two are Lu Yan’s friends. I came here to ask you to help them find someone.”
The woman smiled and nodded. Her temperament was very good. When she smiled, it made people feel exceptionally quiet.
She dodged to the side and said to Qin An and the others, “Then come in quickly! Lu Yan has been out searching for supplies for the past few days and hasn’t returned yet.”
Qin An and Liu Jialanyue walked into the thatched cottage with some embarrassment. He didn’t expect Lu Yan to like this type of mature woman.
When they arrived at the room, the furnishings in the room were very simple, one bed, several tables, and a few chairs.
The woman hurriedly wiped away the chairs and let Qin An and the others sit down. After that, she sat down on the bed and asked, “Who are you looking for? Do I know them? Do I know them? Or does Lu Yan know them? Actually, I might not be able to help you. I don’t usually go out of the house and very few people I know.”
‘”It’s like this!” Qin An hurriedly said, “I have a friend named Li Wenjie. He is also Lu Yan’s classmate. I heard from Lu Yan that Wenjie’s mother is here, so we came here to pick her up!”
The woman’s entire body suddenly trembled, and then she slowly shed tears. She stood up and said in disbelief, “What did you say? Are you guys Wen Jie’s friends? Where is he? I’m his mother! My name is Li Hong! Is that me you’re looking for?”
Li Hong’s words made Qin An and Liu Jia completely stupid. They had long mouths and could not speak for a long time.
Li Hong suddenly realized something and her face turned pale. She sat back on the bed powerlessly, covered her face with her hand and cried painfully. He said, “Wen Jie! Mom has no face to see you! Let Mom die!”
In the room, no one was talking. Li Hong was the only one crying! After a long time, her crying became a little quieter, and then she slowly began to tell her story.
A few months ago, Li Hong and her husband fled to the vicinity of Destiny City alone and were attacked by zombies.
Her husband was bitten by a zombie and eventually turned into a zombie.
Li Hong was helpless. She was the only one who ran into Fate City.
A woman in her forties had nothing. It was too difficult for her to get food in the city.
She hid in a corner, starving for four whole days, about to starve to death.
Just as she was fainting, an old man in his fifties dragged her into his tent and saved her with porridge. After that…
The old man said, “Do you want to starve to death, or do you want to live?”
At that moment, she cried. In the past, when she was in another gathering place, she often saw this kind of thing. However, at that time, he had his husband’s protection. His husband could go out and kill zombies to find food, but now, she was alone.
Facing death, she was cowardly.
In the following month, in order to survive, she gave up her dignity and became a walking corpse.
But even so, she still couldn’t feed herself, because she was already in her forties, because there were too many young women who were better choices than her.
Finally, she met Lu Yan.
They knew each other. Lu Yan had once lived in her home for a few days.
Ever since then, Lu Yan had connected her to the place where he lived and kept her for free. This made Wang Hong feel very fortunate.
The Material Search Team seemed to be living a little better than ordinary people, but in fact, it wasn’t much better. Because not every time he went out, he would gain something. Moreover, every time he went out, he would face death.
Therefore, the people of the Material Search Team had all become realists. They were drunk and drunk today, so who would care about tomorrow’s life and death?
The rest of Lu Yan’s teammates would find a beautiful woman when they had the rest of the food, and then squander the food in exchange for happiness every night.
Lu Yan was also a vigorous young man, but his leftover food was used to feed Li Hong. As time passed, Lu Yan became unbalanced.
Finally, one night, Lu Yan entered the room, and Li Hong only faintly resisted, letting him go.
The next day, Lu Yan knelt in front of Li Hong, crying like a child. He slapped his mouth forcefully and shouted sorry to Li Wenjie.
Li Hong also cried, but she could not hate Lu Yan. She could only hate the cruel apocalypse.
In the end, she forgave Lu Yan and comforted him.
But with the first time, there would naturally be a second time, and every time, Lu Yan would regret it and blame himself.
Li Hong slowly got used to it. She finally took the initiative to talk to Lu Yan.
Her husband was already dead, and her son’s whereabouts were unknown. She didn’t know if she would be able to meet Lu Yan in this lifetime. She was willing to be Lu Yan’s woman!
Hearing Li Hong’s words, Lu Yan burst into tears of joy. He swore that he would treat her well!
Just like this, the two of them had a husband and wife life. Moreover, just a month ago, Li Hong was pregnant.
When she had finished narrating all this, she continued to cry.
Qin An sighed softly, but he was relieved.
He walked to the bedside and pulled Li Hong’s hand. “Auntie, stop crying. I think the child in your stomach should be a gift from heaven!”
Li Hong was slightly stunned when she heard Qin An’s words, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
Qin An said, “Liu Jia, come here.”
Liu Jia’s face was already full of tears. She walked over and slowly knelt in front of Li Hong. She pressed her head against Li Hong’s legs and cried softly.
Li Hong touched Liu Jia’s head in surprise, not knowing who this strange girl was.
Qin An said, “She is your son Li Wenjie’s girlfriend. She should be considered your daughter-in-law!”
Li Hong was stunned for a moment, then happily raised Liu Jia’s face.
Liu Jia cried out in pain, “Mom, I will take good care of you in the future!”
Li Hong was also excited. She didn’t expect Liu Jia to call her mother, but after more than ten seconds, she suddenly realized something and turned her head to Qin An. Her eyes were filled with sorrow and fear.
Qin An frowned and slowly spoke, explaining how he knew Li Wenjie, how he met Lu Yan in the small village, what the two of them said after drinking wine, and what happened when Lu Yan died with him in order to save Li Wenjie.
When Li Hong heard that her son and Lu Yan were both dead, she almost fainted from crying.
Liu Jia just cried and wanted to comfort Li Hong, but she couldn’t say a word.
Qin An hurriedly said, “Auntie, you have to watch your body. You are pregnant with Lu Yan’s child! Lu Yan died to save Wen Jie. Even if Wen Jie knows about your relationship with Lu Yan, he will not blame you! You must live well! Raise the child!”
Li Hong listened to Qin An’s consolation and slowly cried softly. Yes, there was still a small life in her stomach!
Qin An said, “Don’t worry, Auntie, I’ll take care of you in the future! I came here to pick you up. I have a gathering place of my own. There is plenty of food and living conditions there are much better than here. Pack up your things and we’ll leave today!”
Li Hong nodded, but she couldn’t stop crying.
Qin An looked uncomfortable and said to Liu Jia, “Don’t cry anymore. Stay here with Auntie! Help Auntie pack up and bring a few clothes with you!”
Liu Jia nodded, then sat beside Li Hong and comforted her softly. Finally, the two of them hugged and cried.
Qin An walked out of the room with Lan Yue in a depressed mood.
I never thought things would turn out like this! The most terrifying thing in the apocalypse was not the zombies, but the twisted souls of humans!
However, the marriage between Lu Yan and Li Hong made it impossible for Qin An to define him.
In fact, they did not violate any morality. They might be unethical and would be ridiculed in the pre-apocalyptic society.
But now, it was nothing at all. After all, this was the end of the world.
Lan Yue secretly looked at Qin An and slowly walked over. She pulled a corner of Qin An and said, “Uncle, do you really have a gathering place of your own?”
Qin An glanced at Lan Yue and said, “When I first saw you, I thought you were a Little Sister Yu, but now I see that you are a Little Loli! Quickly go wash your face and let Uncle see what you look like!”
Lan Yue chuckled and said leisurely, “I have a childish personality, but in this apocalyptic world, who can survive by acting coquettish and cute? I can only let myself look mature, so that others will pay less attention to me!”
Looking at Lan Yue’s gloomy expression, Qin An knew that she must have experienced more pain than him in the past year.
In order to divert Lan Yue’s sadness, Qin An suddenly said, “Let me ask you something.”
Lan Yue raised her head and said, “What?”
Qin An mysteriously put his mouth close to Lan Yue’s ear and said, “Have you never had a boyfriend?”
Lan Yue’s face flushed red to her ears. She raised her foot and kicked Qin An’s little brother. Qin An was so scared that he quickly dodged and fled.
Blue Moon’s sad emotions also turned into anger towards Qin An.
