Chapter 52

Lin Qianhuan gave an “oh” sound and turned to leave, but was stopped by a weak female voice.

“Please wait.”

Lin Qianhuan turned her head to look and saw the woman who spoke was holding a thin baby in her arms.

The baby was very small, her lips were a faint purplish-blue, estimating that she wouldn’t last much longer.

“Do you have any milk powder? Infant formula.”

She braced herself and stood up, holding the child in her arms as she walked to Lin Qianhuan’s side.

“I won’t ask you for it for free, I’ll trade you for it with supplies, okay?”

As she said this, she took out a box of anti-inflammatory medicine and a box of antipyretic medicine from her pocket.

“I’ll trade you these, please, if the child doesn’t get milk soon, she really won’t be able to hold on.”

The hand the woman held the medicine with was trembling slightly. Her behavior was actually a gamble.

Gambling that Lin Qianhuan was a good person who wouldn’t directly snatch away her last trump card.

But she had nowhere to retreat. The girl in front of her was the last straw she could grasp.

A dark and thin man in the crowd pushed the woman impatiently: “Hey, don’t you know how precious anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicines are?

Babies can’t survive long in the apocalypse, she’s just a burden!

Instead of using medicine to trade for milk powder, you might as well trade for more food and water, so that we can all last a little longer.”

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone immediately echoed him.

“That’s right, we’re all neighbors, it’s only right to take care of each other.

Your child won’t live long anyway, why are you spending so much money to save her?”

“I think so too, you’ve kept it from us so diligently, we’ve been hiding together for so long, we didn’t even know you still had such valuable medicine!”

Seeing the excited state of these people, if Lin Qianhuan hadn’t been there, they probably would have started fighting to snatch it.

Lin Qianhuan glanced at the woman’s gaunt appearance, who could barely stand, and then looked at these ruddy-faced people around her, and had already made up her mind.

“I can trade with you.”

She was indeed wealthy, but there was no need to say how precious medicines were in the apocalypse.

Trading milk powder with this woman, she would definitely make a profit without loss.

Lin Qianhuan took out a 300g can of milk powder from her space and handed it over. However, the dark and thin man snatched the medicine from the woman’s hand.

He grinned at Lin Qianhuan, “She’s my wife, we won’t use this medicine to trade for milk powder, if you want to trade, use bread and water to trade.”

The woman was dizzy with anger, her body trembling faintly, almost unable to stand.

“I don’t know you at all, we’re just neighbors living in the same community!

My husband is a soldier! He is a soldier who defends the country! Not a shameless, lowly scoundrel like you!”

The man rolled his eyes at her, turned his head and smiled ingratiatingly at Lin Qianhuan.

“She’s been starved silly, are you still trading? Just give me the food and water.”

Lin Qianhuan narrowed her eyes, a look of displeasure surfacing in them.

She hadn’t intended to interfere with this messed up matter, she just simply wanted to save this child’s life.

After all, she would only make a profit in the transaction.

But this woman’s husband was a soldier, a soldier who charged to the front in the apocalypse to fight against the horde of zombies.

In her previous life, she had been saved by these people in military uniform, and in this life, she would never ignore their wives and daughters.

Soldiers selflessly sacrificed their lives for the survivors behind them, and she, no matter how selfish and cold-blooded, would never stand idly by and watch their families be bullied and abused.

She was determined to save this mother and daughter.

Lin Qianhuan stuffed the can of milk powder into the woman’s arms, then pulled her behind her.

“You’re her husband?”

“That’s right.”

“Then what’s her name? What’s this child’s name?”

The dark and thin man was stumped, paused for a moment, and then said haphazardly, “Her name is Wang Cuihua, and the child’s name is Ruan Ruan.”

The woman broke down: “My name is Song Luozhi! My child’s name is Gu Nianling!

My husband’s surname is Gu, his name is Gu Feng, not a despicable villain like you!”

Lin Qianhuan’s expression froze instantly, and she turned her head in disbelief to look at Song Luozhi behind her.

“You said your husband’s name is?”

Song Luozhi was startled by her seriousness, blinked her eyes, and responded, “My husband’s name is Gu Feng.

The Gu of ‘looking left and right’, the Feng of ‘charging forward’.”

“Gu Feng… Gu Feng…”

Lin Qianhuan’s fingertips trembled slightly, and the figure of a tall man appeared in her mind.

In her previous life, it was this Gu Feng who was bitten on the shoulder by a zombie in order to save her.

Before his death, he even spoke to comfort her, telling her not to feel guilty, and even more not to be afraid.

“Little girl, don’t be afraid, this is the duty of us soldiers.

My name is Gu Feng, the Gu of ‘looking left and right’, the Feng of ‘charging forward’.

If you ever see a woman with a mole on her right earlobe in the future, remember to help me tell her.

I love her, and I love our daughter Lingling.

Tell her not to foolishly wait for me anymore, and to live well.

You too, live well.”

With a bang, the thirty-something-year-old young man, in order not to turn into a zombie and harm the people he was protecting with his life, raised his gun and aimed it at himself.

Lin Qianhuan’s eyes were a little sour, and she brushed aside Song Luozhi’s messy hair, and saw the mole on her right ear.

Thankfully…

Thankfully the system had assigned her a task, and thankfully she had come to the western suburbs.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Lin Qianhuan gently patted Song Luozhi’s shoulder, and with a light wave of the Tang blade, cut the dark and thin man’s throat.

She picked up the two boxes of medicine still tightly grasped by the man, and led Song Luozhi and the child downstairs.

“Y-you, where are you taking me?”

Song Luozhi knew that she could no longer continue to live with that group of people in Phoenix Community, but she didn’t dare to easily trust this stranger Lin Qianhuan.

“I’m taking you to find your husband.”

Song Luozhi’s eyes lit up, and she coughed excitedly, “You know my husband? Where is he? Is he still alive?”

Lin Qianhuan softly soothed her emotions: “Brother Gu is a good person, he must still be alive, but I don’t know exactly where he is.

But I will definitely take care of you and your daughter until I safely bring you to his side.”

In her previous life, Gu Feng had exchanged his life for her to live safely, which was considered saving her life, but she never had the chance to repay his kindness.

Now that she had encountered them, she could finally eliminate the guilt that had beenentangling her heart for so long.

Song Luozhi nodded excitedly, and followed Lin Qianhuan into the SUV.

She greatly admired this young girl in front of her, who was strong, decisive, and kind-hearted.

Lin Qianhuan sat in the back seat of the SUV with her. If she heard Song Luozhi’s heartfelt words, she would definitely find it funny.

Kindness had nothing to do with her. She was just repaying kindness and taking revenge for grievances.

If others showed her kindness, she would naturally return it.

Lin Qianhuan took out a brand new baby bottle, scalded it with hot water, and then tore open the milk powder packaging and mixed it with warm water.

“Give it to the child to drink quickly.”

Song Luozhi gratefully accepted the bottle, her eyes filled with tears: “Thank you, really thank you.”
