Weng Lan’s Story–Awkward

Benita felt that the Eastern woman in front of her was behaving strangely, but at this moment, she was dizzy, did not have the mood to think too much, and her body was extremely weak. She could only follow Liu Tian and ask,

“From the beginning of the apocalypse?

Okay…

When the apocalypse broke out, I lived in Houston. After the apocalypse broke out, I was fortunate enough to become an Adept. I began my wandering life and lived there for more than a year in Williamsburg, an ancient city 200 kilometers south of Watson’s Town.

Then there was an accident, and my companions all died… ”

Benita paused for a moment before frowning as if she was recalling something.

‘”It’s been too long. I can’t remember very clearly. I was living in the same house with my companions. One day, a strange woman suddenly appeared who wanted to kill us! My companion was killed by her, and then I killed her… Anyway, this is just a small matter. Can I jump over and continue?”

Liu Tian nodded. She did not care about this small matter. The matter of killing and being killed in the apocalypse was not worth mentioning at all. Everyone could experience it at any time. It seemed that Benita’s thoughts were indeed a little confused at this moment.

Benita raised her hand and rubbed her temples before continuing,

“After burying my friend, I left the house with an old man and went back to my pre-apocalyptic home alone. I wanted to try my luck and see if I could meet my pre-apocalyptic husband. It should be the third year of the apocalypse…

I lived in my pre-apocalyptic home until seven years after the apocalypse, when the American Mafia Alliance was formed and Houston was controlled by the Mafia.

You should also know that they are a group of apocalyptic believers with no humanity. Within their jurisdiction, there are only slaughter, lust, poison, and deceit!

In order to avoid this kind of life, I left Houston in the ninth year of the apocalypse and began to wander around again.

I headed west to San Antonio, but there were troll zombies that had turned into dead cities and were filled with radiation, so I continued westward along the Texas border and finally entered Mexico, where I lived for a while and met my post-apocalyptic husband… ”

Benita paused for a moment before letting out a light breath.

Outside the door, Jess gritted his lips with his teeth. At that time, he had traveled a lot like Qin An to look for Benita, but wanting to find someone in the apocalypse was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack. I didn’t expect Benita to have lived at home before…

Benita continued,

“He was also an American. He had no abilities and fled to Mexico after the apocalypse.

In the twelfth year of the apocalypse, we returned to the United States together and wandered to Victoria Harbor, two hundred kilometers southwest of Houston. There was a small apocalyptic town, and we settled there because our son had already been born.

Five years ago, the gangs in Houston discovered our town, and one of the leaders took a fancy to the daughter of the town’s tavern owner, wanting to snatch her away.

My son Jason was only nine years old at the time, and the girl was his playmate. He kept calling him Sister Lisa.

In order to save Lisa, Jason used a special ability to kill a few ordinary gang members, which brought destruction to the entire town.

By the time we found out about this, it was too late. The Houston Mafia had sent a large number of members to surround the town. They had slaughtered all the people in the town, including my husband and my son!

Benita’s expression was calm as she spoke. Her hatred had become the norm, so she didn’t need to let go of it anymore.

“In the end, I was the only one who escaped and became an Avenger!

For five years, I searched for all sorts of opportunities to kill my enemy, the number one leader of the Houston Gang, but I never did. My strength is still too weak compared to them.

However, I am not completely defeated, because I should have killed hundreds of gang members, including two Level 5 Adepts.

Last night, I took advantage of their lax defenses to sneak into their house again, but they set up a trap for me. I tried my best to escape, running west to shake them off, and then south until I fainted.

Don’t worry too much. I think they should have been completely thrown away by me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to survive until now.

These are all the experiences of my apocalypse.

No matter what, I have to thank you again for saving me. If you can give me some food, I can leave after an hour. I won’t bring you any trouble!

I don’t have anything valuable with me anymore, but I can help you catch some mutated beasts in the sea as a reward for saving me!

You know, even though the meat of those mutated sea beasts can’t be eaten, the things on their bodies have many uses. ”

After hearing Benita’s words, Liu Tian said, “I’m sorry that your relatives have passed away. I don’t need your compensation. But … but what did you just say your dead son’s name is?”

Benita smiled bitterly and said, “His name is Jason. He is a very obedient child.”

Hearing this, Liu Tian was stunned and her mood fell to the bottom.

In English, Jess is spelled “Jayce,” while Jason is spelled “Jayceson,” meaning “Jess’s son.”

It was one of the habits of Americans to name their sons. For example, a father named Jack could name his son Jackson; A father named John can name his son Johnson. So why did Benita name her son Jason? That child was only nine years old five years ago. Jess had arrived in China 22 years ago. She had never seen Benita before!

Liu Tian’s voice trembled as she asked tentatively, “Is your husband called Jess?”

Benita was stunned for a moment before she whispered, “No… His name is Wilde, the man I met in the apocalypse.” And Jess is my husband before the apocalypse. We separated before the apocalypse and never saw each other again. The reason we named our child Jason is because we don’t want to forget him. You know, Wilde is a generous and gentle man. He encouraged me to do so, and he was willing to give our child as a gift in memory of my ex-husband… ”

Liu Tian stared blankly at Benita, a trace of emotion appearing in her heart.

Jess, who was standing outside the door, pushed the door open and walked to the bed and shouted, “Benita… Do you recognize me?”

Benita was completely dumbfounded. She didn’t know where the energy from her body came from, but she actually sat up.

She stared fixedly at the young Eastern man in front of her who was only around twenty years old, her eyes widened.

Ten seconds later, her body began to tremble. A minute later, her mouth became somewhat dry.

Benita swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice,

“You … you’re Jess? That’s impossible. Jess should be almost fifty years old this year. It’s impossible for him to be so young!”

“Dear Benita, I am Jess! I have also become an Adept, which may be the reason why I am not getting old!” Jess sat down on the bed with a bit of emotion and carried Benita into his arms, sighing with emotion, “Dear Benita, I am Jess!”

Thank God!

I really didn’t expect to see you again!

Benita, do you know how long I’ve been looking for you? It took him ten years to give up! I’ve been to almost every place in the United States, but I haven’t found any traces of you!

You actually live in Victoria Harbor! It’s only two hundred kilometers away from this place. I’ve been there before, so maybe you haven’t lived there yet!

Victoria is our wedding place! Do you remember? ‘”…”

Benita was dumbfounded for a long time, tears finally flowing down her eyes.

“God! Is it really you? Jess? Is it really you? Tell me it’s not a dream!”

“Benita, this isn’t a dream! I’m really Jess. Pinch me and see if I’ll feel any pain! Oh my God, this isn’t a dream, is it?”

Because Jess was too excited, he had already spoken incoherently, and all the emotions that he had suppressed in his heart had erupted.

Standing by the bed, Liu Tian’s face had already turned purple. She really wanted to kick the two of them out of bed immediately, but she still resisted.

After sighing, Liu Tian quietly left the bedroom and closed the door behind her.

She actually understood how Jess felt. If he still loved Benita, it would definitely be a lie. However, he was unable to give up this concern, so it was inevitable that he would not be able to control his emotions if they were to reunite at this moment.

He put his ear to the door and listened. Jess had already begun to tell Benita about his experiences over the years.

A few minutes later, the two excited people in the room calmed down. In the post-parting story that Jess told Benita, Liu Tian’s name was finally mentioned.

Liu Tian smiled coldly and muttered to herself, “Let’s see how this old lady will deal with you at night!”

After saying that, Liu Tian turned around and left the bedroom door to take a look at Little Annie, who was enjoying herself in her room. Then, she entered the kitchen and began to prepare food.

…

An hour later, Jess, Liu Tian, Benita, and Annie sat around the dining table. The atmosphere was as awkward as it was embarrassing.

Jesse’s face turned red and white. Seeing that the other three women didn’t say anything, he finally couldn’t stand the atmosphere. He coughed and said,

“Bei Lang came just now, said that did not find anything unusual, looks like the gangs in Houston really did not find any trace of Benita.

Um… Although you’ve already met, I’d better formally introduce you.

Darling, this is Benita, my… my ex-wife, whom we’ve been searching for for ten years.

“Benita, this is my current wife, Liu Tian, and our daughter, Annie!”

Both Liu Tian and Benita nodded in embarrassment.

After all, Benita was an Adept. After resting, she had recovered her strength and her complexion was much redder. Her emotions were complicated. She was happy to meet Jess again, but also disappointed that Jess had already married another woman. Time was terrifying. After more than twenty-four years, he was already a mortal. Didn’t he also marry someone else? Wasn’t he pregnant with a child?

After Jess finished her introduction, Liu Tian suddenly smiled and said, “Alright, alright, she’s not an outsider! Jess, hurry up and let Benita eat. She just told me to leave immediately after dinner and not cause us any trouble! After all, she’s a mortal enemy of the Houston Mafia!”

Liu Tian’s words stunned Jesse, and the smile on his face quickly disappeared.

Benita smiled awkwardly. She sneaked a glance at Jess and then looked at Little Annie who was smiling at her. She didn’t know what to say, so she picked up her chopsticks and put a scrambled egg in her mouth. It tasted good. She had never eaten scrambled eggs before.

Annie’s gaze swept over Benita, Jesse, and Liu Tian, and the smile on her face grew warmer and warmer.

She thought to herself, “Dad, Mom!” You guys are busy this time! Haha, in the future, nobody should care about her when she flips around in her room at night, right?
