Zombie Apocalypse

Chapter 285 Hope

Snowflakes filled the sky, dancing in the cold wind.

The white bones everywhere made this place look like hell!

And such a place was the so-called apocalyptic land!

Smoke City was very big. It had only been built for less than a year, and its fifty-meter-tall walls were covered with scars. It was as if it had been printed with a history ring. It seemed to have existed for a very, very long time!

On the city wall, a young girl was leaning against the wall alone, sitting in the cave entrance, looking at the sky in the west.

Her face was very pure, but her figure was very hot.

The girl was wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a short-sleeved black T-shirt. Although her clothes weren't tight, they still couldn't hide her beautiful curves.

How long has it been since we last met?

Four months? It should be almost there!

The young girl pondered in her heart, her expression becoming a little sad.

Why was she so useless that her father forcefully brought her back here?

What made her even angrier was that that damn bad guy actually didn't linger on her at all and just watched her get taken away?

Thinking of this, the girl's sad expression turned into grief! She looked like a little woman abandoned by her husband.

Then this sad little woman was Liu Xia.

At this moment, a real woman and a young man walked up the city stairs.

When the woman saw Liu Xia's figure, she sighed and said, "Xia Xia, why did you run to the city wall again? Furthermore, you're wearing so little clothes. Be careful of catching a cold!"

Liu Xia turned around and frowned when she saw the woman and the young man.

She turned her head to the west and said, "Mom! Look who caught a cold in this apocalyptic world. Grandpa is right. Our human constitution has changed because of the T virus! We are lucky in this apocalyptic world. Not only have we not turned into zombies, we have also become healthy babies, so don't worry about it!"

The woman and the young man had already walked to Liu Xia's side. Hearing what she said, the young man smiled and said, "Haha! Liu Xia, what you said is too right. You really can't see anyone getting sick now! But if you wear so little, it will always be cold, right?"

Liu Xia did not go to see him, but said coldly, "Firstly, people won't get sick. It wasn't me who said it. It was my great-grandfather who said it! Secondly, what does it have to do with me? Thirdly, you are the son of the vice city lord and the commander of the army in the city. Why do you bother me every day instead of using your experience against Wanguo City?"

The young man smiled awkwardly. He was momentarily stupefied and didn't know what to say.

The woman hurriedly said, "Xia Xia! Why are you talking to Yun Feng like this? How rude!"

Liu Xia curled her lips and sneered, "Mom! You and Dad wanted me to marry Deng Yunfeng! I've already said that I don't agree! If you really want to do it for my own good and for his own good, don't think about wasting our time! Even though his father is the Vice City Lord, it's impossible to force me to do it!"

After saying that, Liu Xia raised her right hand, and then on the white palm, flames rose.

This was not the first time the woman and the young man called Deng Yunfeng had seen Liu Xia use her ability, but every time they saw her, they were still shocked!

This ability to raise his hand to create flames was too sci-fi. It deeply shocked them, time and time again!

Facing Liu Xia's indifference, Deng Yunfeng was very angry in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest bit.

After the shock subsided, Deng Yunfeng smiled and said to the woman, "Auntie Chen Lin, you and Liu Xia can chat here! I won't disturb you anymore, I brought you here to help you find Liu Xia! Liu Xia is right, there are still many things that need me to deal with in the city, so I'll take my leave!"

Chen Lin, Liu Xia's mother, hurriedly nodded at Deng Yunfeng and watched him leave.

Seeing Deng Yunfeng's figure disappear from the city wall, Chen Lin sighed slightly and said, "Xia Xia, why are you so stubborn? This child Yun Feng is really not bad, he looks good and has a lot of rights in the city. In the apocalypse, if people want to live a better life, don't they just need to rely on him? Mom and dad are all for your sake!"

Liu Xia put away the flames in her hand and said indifferently, "Mom! When the catastrophe first broke out, the whole family was ready to flee. Why did you leave your great-grandfather? Could it be that he is dying?"

Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale. Her mouth moved, but she didn't say anything in the end.

Liu Xia smiled bitterly and said, "I know that Great Grandpa forced you to leave with your deaths! There is nothing you can do about it! But can you just watch him stay at home alone? He couldn't take care of himself at that time, which means that after we leave, he will slowly starve to death!"

"Liu Xia! Don't say anything else! We just wanted the whole family to survive in that situation! This is also your great-grandfather's idea!" Chen Lin's eyes gushed with tears as she whispered, "Liu Xia! Don't say anything else!"

Liu Xia sighed and nodded,

"Mom! I know! I'm not trying to blame anyone for what I said! Because nobody's wrong!"

I just feel that people are indeed selfish, and people can always find reasons for selfishness.

Just like now, you say that you want me to marry someone I don't love for my own good.

Mom, I think you and Dad are very selfish. You are arranging my life according to the way you want. This is a kind of selfishness.

When I just returned to Ruyan City, I was going to leave, but you cried and told me not to leave. Because of your sadness, I didn't leave you ruthlessly in the end. However, now I regret it, because of Mom's selfish love for me, I might lose a man who might fall in love with me for the rest of my life!

Mom, do you know how painful I am right now? "

Chen Lin was stunned when she heard Liu Xia's words. She did not expect her daughter's resentment towards her to be so deep.

Liu Xia got down from the crane and stood in front of Chen Lin. Looking at her dumbfounded mother, she smiled and said,

"Mother, don't be sad! I don't mean to blame you for what I said.

Because of the combination of you and Dad, I came to this world. I can only be grateful!

It's like having a great-grandpa is why we have a family. We should all be grateful!

Alright, I'm going to find a deserted place to cultivate! I should be about to break through to the Second Grade Sword God Physique by now!

When I break through, I must go find him. If Mom still blocks me, I might not listen to you anymore! "I'm sorry!"

After saying that, Liu Xia turned around and walked towards the stairs of the city wall.

Chen Lin took two steps forward and said, "Liu Xia, do you really like that man? I heard from your father that he looks very ugly! And it seems that you two haven't known each other for long, right?"

Liu Xia paused for a moment and didn't turn around. "I'm not sure either! I just know now that I want to return to his side and accompany him all the time! Who can tell if this is love or not? The past few months of living in Ruyan City have already left me without love in my heart. In the apocalypse, love can only be regarded as an extravagant hope!"

After saying this, Liu Xia raised her head and stood on the city wall to look down at the entire Smoke City!

This city was divided into two parts. The wealthy areas in the east and the slums in the west of the city!

The size of the two regions was the same, but the proportion of the population was four to one! Ten thousand people lived in the wealthy area on the east side of the city, while the remaining forty thousand people lived in the commoner area on the west side of the city.

However, the distribution ratio of resources between the two sides was nine to one! For example, if there was a hundred kilograms of rice, the people in the east of the city could get ninety kilograms, while the people in the west of the city could only get ten kilograms!

Liu Xia sighed!

In the Land of Doomsday, in the three great cities, this Smoke City in front of us was actually the most kind of place. Although the gap between rich and poor was wide, at least everyone could still live in order to survive!

Then what did Worry-free City and Wanguo City look like? It was unimaginable!

The section of the city wall that Liu Xia stood on could be considered as the junction of the east and west of the city.

On the west side of the city, not far from where Liu Xia stood, a thin man in his forties with an ugly appearance was holding a coarse corn bread in his hand. He was stunned.

This was all he had left after working for a month!

Now, being able to find a job in the wealthy area was already a very lucky thing!

He was a lonely man. His wife and children had long since been separated in the apocalypse. His parents and family did not know where he was. He was a person who only lived for the sake of survival.

Looking at this hard pancake, he was reluctant to eat it, because if he ate it, he would have nothing!

At this moment, an even weaker little girl walked out of the nearby shantytown and came to the man's side. She looked at the cake in the man's hand and swallowed her saliva.

The man noticed the existence of the little girl and carefully put the cake into his arms. Then, he looked at her vigilantly.

The little girl hadn't got anything to eat for a day. It was winter, so it was even harder to get food.

Last night, it snowed all night. In the morning, the little girl was robbed by a group of children and got some snow to eat. However, this thing was not enough to fill her stomach.

She was just twelve years old this year, and her father had already turned into a zombie. Only her mother was with her.

Mother did not have a job, so she went to sleep with men every day in exchange for meager food so that they could survive!

But business has been bad these past few days! The men in the slums seemed to be too hungry to sleep with women!

The little girl swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and finally couldn't help but be hungry. She timidly said to the man, "Uncle, do you think I look good? I'll sleep with you. Can you give me a mouthful of pancakes? If you can give me another mouthful and let my mother eat, I can sleep with you tomorrow too!"

Liu Xia, who was only fifty meters away from them, instantly burst into tears!

She had seen such a scene many times in the past few months! However, there was nothing she could do to stop him! It was because it was too difficult to obtain food right now! Then the practice of women exchanging skin for food became very common.

This was the true edge of doomsday!

People's life has been suffering to this extent, who can go to extravagant love this unrealistic thing? Liu Xia only felt that her heart was on the verge of shattering in pain.

The man was stunned for a moment. He stretched out his hand and touched the thin little girl's face.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xia really wanted to rush over immediately and kill that man, but she didn't dare to do it! If this man was guilty and deserved to be killed, then most of the people in Smoke City should die!

The man touched the little girl's face and his hands slowly trembled. Then he said, "What a sensible girl! You're still thinking about your mother! If my daughter were still alive, she would be this old!"

After saying that, he took out the tortilla in his arms and reluctantly stuffed it into the little girl's pocket. Don't let anyone see. Although the guards in the city are very strict with robbery and theft, the food is getting less and less. Facing hunger, people will always take risks! Go back and share this cake with your mother! Don't think about staying, or it won't necessarily enter anyone's stomach tomorrow! "

The little girl immediately knelt down and kowtowed, thanking the man.

The man urged her to leave quickly!

At this moment, Liu Xia was stunned! She didn't expect things to turn out like this!

Looking at the ugly, skinny man, Liu Xia suddenly felt that her tears seemed to flow even more turbulently!
