Chapter 307 – Raising A Child In An Apocalypse (part 16)
Jiang Xiaoya kept her face calm and leaned on the seat without saying a word. She was still angry.
Jiang Fang glanced at her helplessly, stretched out his right hand to hold her hand. “Okay, don’t be angry.”
Jiang Xiaoya turned around. “A-Fang, I don’t understand. What’s wrong with them? Obviously we got rid of the bad guys who were bullying them, but they didn’t appreciate us. They want to scam and rely on us. Obviously, as long as they kept themselves safe, we would escort them to the Survivor Base. We could at least guarantee their safe arrival at the Survivor Base. As long as they worked hard and lived well, then there would be no problems. But they, they…”
The more Jiang Xiaoya said, the angrier she became. Jiang Fang quickly calmed her down. “Xiaoya, not everyone is as good as you think. There are such groups of people who are lazy and always think of taking shortcuts and enjoy the success. Unfortunately, we met such a group of people today. Of course, these are only a few, most of them are still hard-working and brave, have manners, and know when to advance and retreat.”
But Jiang Xiaoya was still very angry. After getting angry, she became a little worried. “We just left, so what will they do? Will it be dangerous?”
“Then, do you want to go back and help them? If you want, we’ll go back,” Jiang Fang said, holding her hand. It was just a matter of materials and time. If it would make Xiaoya happy, then he would go for it!
Jiang Xiaoya shook her head. “It can help for a while, but it won’t help forever. A-Fang, that’s what I think. We will leave them a car, some food and a map, and let them decide the rest for themselves! There are so many of them. It’s impossible for them not to have anyone who can drive. It’s very close to the Q Survivor base. If there are no accidents, it will take about three hours to get there.”
Jiang Fang smiled happily. “Okay, we will just do as you said.” Then, he turned to look at Li Su. “Older sister, what do you think?”
“I think Xiaoya has thought about this very well. I have no objections.” Li Su was also very pleased with Jiang Xiaoya’s growth. She was caring, but not blind, smart, and decisive. She liked it!
Jiang Fang turned the car around, returned to the village, stopped at the entrance of the village, and got out of the car with Li Su. The two of them covered each other and took the car out of the space. Li Su took some bread and water and put them in the car, then put the car keys on it. Jiang Fang left another note.
After doing all this, Jiang Fang and Li Su got into the car and drove away.
When the people in the village heard the movement at the entrance of the village, they did not dare to come out at first. They only ran out to the entrance to the village when it was quiet. When they saw the passenger car with the door open, they went over to it and looked at it carefully. When they saw the pile of supplies, they immediately rushed over. They scrambled to grab at the items and no one cared about the key and note.
When the things were taken, everyone went back regardless of whether they got items or not. Suddenly, a child ran into the car and looked around to see if there was anything left out. He finally found the note, map, and car keys under the car seat.
The child was very excited. With the car, he could leave here. But, he was too young to drive.
The child rolled his eyes. He quietly took the key and the note, and went back to the village.
Ten minutes later, the child and a woman quietly got into the car. Afterwards, the car started, staggered onto the road, and left the village.
When the people in the village found out that the car was gone, they were shocked. They checked the number of people and found that there were two fewer people. After scolding, they continued to hide in the house, repeating their previous life. They hoped that someone with an ability would pass by and give them some supplies. If they met someone who was soft-hearted, they could take them away and escort them to the survivor base.
Jiang Fang and his party were hiding in the dark, witnessing all this. Jiang Xiaoya’s face was full of disappointment. She did not expect that, out of so many people, not a single child or woman had courage.
“Are we going to follow?” Jiang Fang asked.
But Li Su recognised the child. He was the one who stared at Wang Yao in jealousy last night. She instinctively felt that things might not be so simple!
Jiang Xiaoya thought for a while. “We can follow and take a look, and help if we can!” For a child and a woman without abilities, it would be difficult to survive in this apocalypse.
Jiang Fang looked at Li Su, who said she had no opinion.
Jiang Fang drove after them.
The car didn’t manage to drive very far when they heard a thud. Jiang Xiaoya took out the binoculars and looked over. Not far away, the car fell into the valley while the child was standing beside it intact as he looked around. When he saw a car approaching from a distance, he immediately covered his face and burst into tears, showing a panicked expression.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Xiaoya still didn’t understand. That kid was very smart. From the car and supplies they left, he probably guessed that they wouldn’t really ignore them. So, he deliberately made a scene, intending to lure them out! It was best to take him in and take him on the road. How old was he? He was so ruthless and didn’t hesitate to take a person’s life! Who knew how he cheated that woman?!
Jiang Xiaoya felt that her kindness had been betrayed. “A-Fang, ignore him. Let’s go!”
Jiang Fang didn’t see what was going on ahead, but that didn’t prevent him from following Jiang Xiaoya’s instructions. He drove to another road.
The child was still crying heartbrokenly, crying so deeply that he didn’t even notice where the car went. But after waiting for a while, he didn’t hear the sound he expected. The child put down his hands, opened his eyes, and looked around, but there was no trace of the car.
He stopped crying immediately, and looked around, searching. After searching everywhere to no avail, he stood there for a long time and finally walked slowly towards the village.
Jiang Xiaoya was angry and scared when she saw this scene through the binoculars. This kid’s scheming was terrifying. It was understandable, but it was still scary. Jiang Xiaoya quickly turned to look at Wang Yao and wiped her eyes. Her Yaoyao was the most well-behaved and cutest child in the world!
On the way, Li Su took Wang Yao to the toilet. Jiang Fang quietly asked Jiang Xiaoya what was wrong. Jiang Xiaoya told Jiang Fang what she saw. “I’m really pissed off! He is already so old, so how can he be so bad? He could have honestly driven with the woman to find the survivor base!”
Jiang Fang didn’t speak. He only reached out and touched her hair. Although he felt a little reluctant, it was okay for people like this. Things like this would happen again, so Xiaoya had to get used to it slowly.
They continued on the road and drove to S base.
On this day, they passed through a small town and happened to meet a few ability users who were attacked by zombies. One of them fell behind and was about to be caught by zombies. The man launched a vine, dragged the person in front of him down, and then threw it back into the zombie pile before quickly running away.
The ability user was bitten by a zombie and shouted in anger and despair, “Wang Dahai!”
When Li Su heard the name, she looked out the window. It was really a small world for her to be able to actually meet her enemy here. This was really something only Wang Dahai could do!
On the street, Wang Dahai wanted to do the same and continue to replace those who died. He didn’t expect that the person in front was already prepared, so Wang Dahai had to run forward.
Wang Yao suddenly leaned on the window, pointed at Wang Dahai and said, “Dad!”
Fortunately, the car window was closed and Wang Dahai was busy running for his life. So, he didn’t pay attention to what was happening over there.
On the other hand, Jiang Fang and Jiang Xiaoya heard Wang Yao calling out for her father, and turned to look at Li Su. “Older sister, is he really Yaoyao’s father?”
Li Su sneered. “Yeah, but he is also a sex offender. At the beginning, he raped me, and his mother gave my family a sum of money. My brother got married without a dowry, so my parents took the money, tied me up, and sent me to the Wang family. I gave birth to Yaoyao, and his mother disliked Yaoyao since she was a girl. They abused and beat her. I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I took Yaoyao and left. I didn’t expect to meet him here.”
When she spoke, Li Su covered Wang Yao’s ears. She didn’t want Wang Yao to know about these things.
Jiang Fang frowned and Jiang Xiaoya was filled with righteous indignation. “How could such a thing happen? No wonder you didn’t mention anything before and never thought of looking for your family. That’s how it is. A-Fang, let’s ignore him and keep going!”
But the escaped ability users outside had already spotted Jiang Fang’s car. They ran towards them and brought the zombies over.
Jiang Fang frowned. There was only one vacant seat in his car. He couldn’t bring so many people. He didn’t intend to take another person with him. He stepped on the accelerator, increased the horsepower, and charged directly towards the zombies.
When they passed by Wang Dahai, Wang Dahai actually launched vines on the car, trying to throw the car to the zombies.
Li Su said with disgust, “He’s doing this again! He’s really vicious!”
Jiang Fang opened the car window and fired an ice blade out. It ended up cutting off the vines. He then threw a few more ice blades out and blocked Wang Dahai’s path.
Wang Dahai cursed repeatedly. Seeing that he was about to be overtaken by the zombies, he had an idea. He quickly launched out vines, wrapped them around the railing on the second floor across the street, and then climbed up quickly along the vines.
Jiang Fang drove the car and rushed towards the zombie group. He drove over the zombie group, buying time for the others, and the group of ability users quickly took the opportunity to escape.
Wang Dahai, who had successfully escaped the zombies, stood on the second floor and looked down. He watched his companions flee in a hurry. Suddenly, his eyes stopped somewhere!
The woman in the back seat of the car just now looked like Li Su from behind. No, it shouldn’t be Li Su. She couldn’t be alive! She was a woman with a child, so how could she still be alive! Unless…
Unless Li Su was also an ability user.
Seeing that the car was about to drive out of sight, Wang Dahai decided, whether it was her or not, that he had to figure it out. Maybe Wang Dahai was lucky. He looked down on the second floor and saw a motorcycle in the alley with the key still inserted on it. His eyes lit up. He jumped down immediately and rode on a motorcycle.
“Older sister, look! That man is coming after us!” Jiang Xiaoya saw Wang Dahai on a motorcycle in the rearview mirror chasing after them.
Li Su snorted coldly. “Xiaoya, come to the back and help me take care of Yaoyao.”
“Okay!” Jiang Xiaoya agreed without another word.
Jiang Fang stopped the car. Jiang Xiaoya and Li Su got off at the same time. Li Su whispered in Jiang Xiaoya’s ear, “Cover Yaoyao’s eyes. Don’t let her see it.”
Children should not see such a violent scene.
Jiang Xiaoya nodded excitedly, then got behind and played with Wang Yao.
Li Su held the Tang knife in her hand and carried it behind her as she walked slowly towards Wang Dahai.
Wang Dahai saw her from a distance and was proud. When the distance between them shortened, Wang Dahai couldn’t believe his eyes. It was really Li Su. She had changed. She became younger and more beautiful, and he was in a trance. Wang Dahai thought that he had returned to the pre-apocalyptic world when he saw Li Su for the first time.
