The two of them, Huan and Chu, already knew what happened afterwards. Upon learning about Lu Hao's experience, everyone couldn't help but sigh. It seems that almost everyone who has survived in the zombie apocalypse has a story worth telling.
When they heard Lu Hao mention the mother who was holding her son turned into a zombie in pain, Huan Chu and the queen fell into a long silence. Especially Huan Chu, he didn't even need to doubt that if he turned into one of those monsters, his mother would definitely not abandon him. The hearts of parents all over the world are full of pity, especially for this generation, the first generation of only children in the republic. Almost every one of them is the lifelong expectation and lifelong reliance of their parents.
He could hardly imagine what would happen to his parents if he were to lose him. Mom naturally doesn't need to say much, and Dad doesn't need to doubt. Although it has never been shown, Huan Chu still deeply understands his position in his father's heart. In order to find a good piano teacher for him, his father, who had always been tough, actually swallowed his pride and went around asking for help.
I don't know if in this lifetime, I will still be able to hear my mother's affectionate nagging, or see my father's stern gaze. Thinking of this, Huan Chu leaned back on the Hummer and couldn't help but sigh deeply. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
At this moment, with his eyes closed, Huan Chu felt two slender jade-like fingers reaching out and gently massaging his temples. Huan Chu didn't need to guess at all. He knew that the only one who could comfort him at this moment was Miss Chen. Lao Lu and I are not that familiar with each other, and it's not natural for men to make such gestures towards each other.
Don't worry. Chen Wenwen's eyes, shining brightly, looked tenderly at Huan Chu. Since the apocalypse, this 20-year-old young man has not taken care of himself much, and he hasn't even rested properly while traveling with her. At this time, Huan Chu's jaw and upper lip had grown a faint black stubble, his eye sockets had sunken in a bit, although he had wiped his face, there was still a patch of mottled bloodstain on his left cheek, making him look much more weathered, nothing like the youthful and tender young man that the two had met before.
The two of them were always together, and Chen Wenwen didn't pay much attention. But now, taking a closer look, she suddenly realized that the person in front of her had changed so much in just a few days. She naturally knew that he had endured too much pressure for their survival and goals. The queen couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. She took out a handkerchief, dipped it in water, and gently wiped away the bloodstains on Huan Chu's face, saying softly, "Uncle and auntie will be fine for sure." "
Huan Chu allowed the queen's hands to roam on his face, and the breeze carried Chen Wenwen's body fragrance to his nose, strand by strand, filling the air with a warm and pleasant scent. A gentle breeze blew by at this moment, causing the queen's silky hair to lightly flutter around her ears, revealing her snow-white and delicate neck, exuding extreme beauty. Huan Chu seemed to enjoy this feeling as well, quietly watching Chen Wenwen clean the handkerchief and put it in her pocket, gently embracing the queen in his arms.
Chen Wenwen, feeling violated, was about to struggle, but she felt the man just holding her quietly without taking further action, just whispering softly in her ear, "Having you is so nice." The words instantly pierced through the queen's defenses, as she looked at Huan Chu revealing his true boyish nature while holding her. Unable to resist, the queen slowly reached out her hands, embraced Huan Chu back, gently patting his back, and comforting him in a soft voice.
At this moment, Lu Hao sensibly took Lu Xiaohu back to his Buick business car, and Heizi also wandered around as a lookout on his own. The only ones left here were this couple. But the experiences during this period had already toughened Huan Chu's nerves like steel. After a brief moment of weakness, he recovered and said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely find my parents, and then, together with everyone, we will survive in this world." "
Seeing Huan Chu recovering his spirits, Chen Wenwen let go of his hands and smiled brightly at Huan Chu, saying, "I believe in you." Always believe. "
It seems that winter has arrived, and snowflakes are falling from the sky in Shangcheng County. With a loud "roar", Heizi jumped into the Hummer, Lu Xiaohu lay on the car window, pointing at the snowflakes in the sky, talking to his dad about something. The snow came suddenly and heavily, as if to bury all the evil and bloodshed in the world underground. In no time, a thin layer of white covered the ground, concealing everything in the marketplace.
Huan Chu and Chen Wenwen showed no intention of avoiding each other at all. They just looked at each other quietly. In the midst of heavy snowfall, the two of them stood straight, smiling at each other, looking at each other. Huan Chu suddenly felt something in his heart, quietly recalling an old song from long ago:
"Snowflakes fall like blooming fireworks, freely drifting between heaven and earth, reveling in a fleeting moment..."
At 2:20 in the afternoon, a Hummer and a Buick were driving one after the other on the main road in Shangcheng County, traversing through a vast expanse of white land. After making up his mind to find his parents, Huan Chu finally fully recovered from his sadness and began to calculate the future journey and plans ahead.
Chen Wenwen looked at the serious expression on Huan Chu's face. The man who remained calm at this moment was her true love, although she also found his vulnerable side quite cute. With a chuckle, the queen couldn't help but laugh.
Huan Chu heard the laughter coming from beside him, knowing that Chen Wenwen was looking at him. He glanced at the rearview mirror and found nothing wrong with his face. Unable to help himself, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" What are you laughing at? "
Chen Wenwen quickly shook her head and changed the subject: "Actually, I've been wanting to ask for a while now." Why do you suddenly want to save Lao Lu and Xiao Hu? This is not like your previous style, is it? "
Huan Chu chuckled and asked back, "Not my style?" What do you think of my style? See death and do nothing? Selfish? Are you greedy for life and afraid of death? "
Huan Chu's self-deprecating remarks became more and more unpleasant. Chen Wenwen frowned and was about to deny it, but was interrupted by Huan Chu. He still had a smile on his face and said, "I just don't like to waste my efforts on useless things." Do you remember the soldier we saw that morning at your house? "
The scene of the army not abandoning or giving up greatly shocked the two of them. Chen Wenwen naturally remembered. At this moment, upon hearing Huanchu mention it, the clever queen immediately understood Huanchu's idea: "Are you trying to build a group of brothers and comrades-in-arms like them, who can rely on each other for life and death?" "
Huan Chu snapped his fingers and looked at Chen Wenwen approvingly, saying, "Smart!" With such a group in existence, it will be easier for us to survive and achieve the goal of finding our loved ones. When I heard Lao Lu's cry for help, I knew that the father and son were probably at the end of their rope. At this point, taking a greater risk to save them would definitely be more helpful than randomly helping someone on the road. "
Huan Chu cleared his throat, looked at Chen Wenwen, who looked enlightened, and continued, "Originally, I was just trying it out. If the person we rescue in the end is not suitable, um, I mean, if they don't know how to be grateful or are too selfish, I can just treat it as an experiment and part ways with them." "
But when Lao Lu told you how difficult the situation they were facing, you had already decided to accept the father and son? Seeing the look of approval on Huan Chu's face, the queen naturally understood that her guess was correct. Actually, the queen is very smart, but with Huan Chu around, she is lazy and doesn't need to use her brain. Encouraged at this moment, she continued, 'What about the little tiger?' You can never tell what kind of person he is, can you? "
Huan Chu chuckled, "A child whose mind hasn't settled yet, following a father like this, being with us, will naturally develop a sense of dependence on our group." Don't forget, children's emotions are much purer than adults'. "
If Lao Lu knew you were plotting against them like this...
He wouldn't care even if he knew. Even if you tell him these things now, he will appreciate you more for being truly honest and dedicated to this small team. "It seems that Huan Chu has already figured out Lu Hao's character and said indifferently." Chen Wenwen's understanding of Lu Haogengzhi's personality also made it easy for her to see that what Huan Chu said was indeed true. If she tells Lu Hao about the conversation between the two of them just now, he will not react by leaving angrily.
However, this time I really got lucky. Huan Chu was obviously very pleased, constantly exclaiming, "I can't believe we can pick up a veteran soldier on the roadside. This really boosts the combat effectiveness of the whole team." "
Thinking of Lu Hao's superb marksmanship and strong nerves when escaping from the hospital, Chen Wenwen couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and said, "Yeah, it seems like he used to be a scout, his marksmanship is really accurate." "
Both of them were in a good mood to have an immediate combat power and a "future combat power". Huan Chu had a smile on his face and pressed the communication key on the car intercom: "Lao Lu, are you there?" How is your car? "
After a burst of crackling electrical noise, the voice of Lu Hao came through the walkie-talkie: "Everything is fine. We just refueled when we entered the county, so it should be no problem to drive a few hundred kilometers." By the way, where are we going next? "
"Do you see that motel ahead?" After receiving Lu Hao's approval, Huan Chu continued, "That's where Wenwen and I chose as our base yesterday, and we have confirmed that it is very safe there." Let's take a break there for an hour and discuss our future plans. "
In the meantime, two cars had arrived in front of the motel, one after the other. When Huan Chu finally parked the fierce horse-drawn carriage, he was surprised to find that several cars had appeared in the empty parking lot, as if someone had arrived.
"Call Huan Chu, are these cars all yours?" Do you have any other people in your team? The voice of Lu Hao's confusion came from the walkie-talkie. Huan Chu looked at the stopped convoy in front of him, his eyes narrowed into slits, occasionally flashing with a gleam: 'No, I haven't seen any of these cars before.' Let's go down and take a look, stay alert, and be careful! "
