Chapter 19 We Are Family That Is Why I Will Protect You

Seeing the stupefied expression of the two like they do not know what the hell was going on, Hua Meili could only continue explaining to them the current situation they are in now.

The situation?

All hell breaks loose!

Welcome to the Apocalypse!

The reality that is much more painful than any nightmare!

"As you can see, this video is now being played live in all the available cameras in the entire city. Hexi hacked into all the available cameras in the city nearest to us so I can show you this but we can only use this temporarily since everything will in time no longer be useful..."

After saying those words, the videos being played one by one turned black until it was now all an empty screen.

"Speak of the devil, it's no longer useful."

Hua Meili signaled Du Hexi and he remove the things out.

"W-what was that? You're joking, right?!" Guo Zhongcheng paled.

"I'm not joking..."

Hua Meili was now drinking her tea since she finished eating a while ago.

While the two could not finish what they were eating after seeing such a horrifying thing, so the food on the table was removed and only the tea was left.

Although both were retired military men, seeing that creepy and disgusting video, they could feel their stomachs churning.

Stomach acid almost coming out as bile.

Yes, they were ex-military men who had seen enough of the world and killed many humans.

But it's not like they rip those enemies into pieces and stuff their flesh into their own mouths when they go and kill them!

Seeing those monsters who seemed to only live in the tv screen and movie screen theater, they feel that their life was threatened and their appetites lessened recalling what they just saw a moment ago.

"Are all of this true?"

Zhongcheng Qingren calmed his nerves, he put his hand together on his chin and looked at Hua Meili with his usual unfathomable gaze.

If what they saw just now was all true then would that mean that.....

"Yes, it's all true."

.....the world has ended!

Seeing the pale faces of the two, Hua Meili could not help but sympathize with the both of them.

Really.

Who would be so calm like her and accept that the peaceful and calm world that they use to live in had already ended and chaos had already ensued?

If someone other than her, a book wearer, was calm and accepting of the new world appeared, then that would mean that the other person is dangerous or just extremely retarded to know what happened!

So, seeing them react like the sky had fallen and the damn broke was pretty normal in her eyes.

Instead, she may look like a monster in their eyes for being so calm and accepting after learning that the world had ended and Zombies were running rampant in the world shredding and eating humans!

"Zombies or what I prefer to call Mutants are now running rampant in the entire world. You also felt the changes when you were sleeping, right? You felt like you were being grilled on fire for eternity, right? These were the signs of mutating into a mutated human which I prefer to call a Phase 1 evolutionary."

"How, how did you know of all of this?"

Zhongcheng Qingren looked sharply at Hua Meili who was so calm as she speaks to them.

Like, like all of this was perfectly normal to her and those who looked so rattled were the ones who were abnormal.

"Is that why you made me build you that war car?" Guo Zhongcheng asked.

When he thought about her crazy ideas about the car, he simply thought that she just wanted some nice car like him that she will treat as her baby.

But never had he thought that it was for this moment.

"Yes, somehow I knew of it. My butlers are retired mercenary men. When they were once on duty, they notice an anomaly in a certain forest where some of the animals became fiercer and stronger and many animals were in a hibernation state."

Hua Meili stop for a second letting them process the information she had given them so they would be able to understand what she was saying before saying more.

Though the reason she gave them was her simply lying through her teeth, the information she gave was nothing but the truth.

She collected this information base on what she observed before the Apocalypse and the event where she met the supposedly "hibernating" animals who had somehow one way or another mutated before the doomsday.

That was really a mystery to her.

"By connecting the dots about the findings in a report of a new virus that made anyone crazy if infected, I concluded that something will happen in the near future that's why I made you build a war car and bought all kinds of food that are now in the family storage at this moment."

Hua Meili praised her foresight.

'Yup, I also bought some food to store in the storage so they won't suspect as to where I am getting my food from.'

"In reality, it had already been 2 weeks from when we last met."

As if it wasn't enough revealing that it was already the end of the world, Hua Meili drop another bomb that shocked the two of them to their very core.

"What?! How's that possible?!"

Guo Zhongcheng quickly took out his phone and immediately check the date that day and saw that it was really 2 weeks from when they last met each other.

"Impossible...."

Even Zhongcheng Qingren was shocked by the discovery when he saw the date. It was exactly two weeks from their previous encounter.

"It's possible, even these zombies that were once fiction is now possible. So, sleeping for 2 weeks is also possible. And within those weeks, the world was covered in darkness. All the humans and beasts were in a deep state of hibernation, no, they were already hibernating long before that and the people who woke up became Evolutionary Humans and the ones who didn't became.... Mutants."

"Is this why you made all the servants and guards go on a vacation?" Zhongcheng Qingren asked as he eyed Hua Meili seriously.

"Yes." Hua Meili honestly replied.

She did not need to lie to them and answered honestly since honesty is the best policy.

And by not lying, they would know what she is really made up of.

Her dark heart that she had hidden for a long time exposed in the light and to their faces!

If they hate her, then hate her.

If they feel disgusted, then go ahead.

If they wish to leave, she is not stopping them.

In this way, she will honestly see how they will react and treat her from now on.

Being honest with them is also her way of testing their character.

Though she likes them, she does not need people who hate her guts.

So, they can part ways at any time.

"But why did you not send us away, even betting on a chance that we may not turn into Mutants?" Guo Zhongcheng asked.

Listening to his question, Hua Meili found herself dumbfounded.

She thought that they will ask her why she did not let the other people stay or even warn them. But she did not expect that they would ask her a question she had not thought of.

Thinking so, she could not help but smile at them and told them what she really had in her heart when she decided to take them in even betting on that tiny slim chance.

"Isn't that obvious? It's because we're family!" Hua Meili replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Add up that they were both orphaned that she dared take them in, it's not because they were parentless that's why she took them in.

She was really sincere because they were the only people who became close to her when she first came to this world that's why she cares a lot about them and if they do have a family then she will still welcome them.

The words that Hua Meili said touched the heart of the two men making them feel closer to their little Miss making an oath there and then to protect her from any dangers the future may hold.

'I promise to protect her for eternity as long as this life of mine exists and even when my candle of life ceases, I will still be by her side even as a ghost.'
