Chapter 37
by REX-NOVELISTSLin Liu sighed anxiously, thinking of her starving and freezing son and daughter at home, and gritted her teeth to make a decision.
Lin Qianhuan didn’t notice Lin Liu and Zhang Jianguo in the supermarket, focusing on killing the approaching zombies, with many decaying corpses piled up around her.
The rain was like needles, dense and heavy, pouring down from the gray sky, pattering on her heavy raincoat.
Rainwater gathered into small streams, falling down the brim of her raincoat, wetting a few strands of hair on her forehead.
After killing the last zombie that approached, Lin Qianhuan shook the Tang sword in her hand, her condition was very good.
Her body, which had been transformed by the Spirit Spring water, was lighter and more powerful. Even after waving the sword so many times, her arms didn’t feel as sore and swollen as before.
She raised her wrist to check the time, stretched her shoulders and walked to the side of the SUV, taking out the awning she used yesterday.
Lin Yixuan used a wind blade to solve a zombie trying to attack from behind. Feeling the dwindling reserve of supernatural power in his body, he pulled out the Tang sword from his waist.
The blade flashed a cold light, wind blade and blade tip together, swept away all the zombies around.
Lin Wansheng’s battle on the side was also coming to an end. All the zombies on the entire street had been cleared, leaving only a few scattered ones moving slowly in the distance, posing no threat to them.
The three worked together to set up the awning, sitting on benches to roast the fire and take a short rest.
Lin Qianhuan handed clean towels to her two older brothers to wipe off the raindrops on their bodies, and she also took off her raincoat and hung it aside, carefully managing the broken hair on her forehead.
Lin Yixuan hung the towel around his neck, took out the pot from the SUV, put it on the brazier, and poured half a bucket of mineral water into it.
“Let’s just eat instant noodles for lunch. There are many survivors in the supermarket. It’s easy to attract attention if we eat too well.”
Lin Qianhuan nodded in agreement, took out 6 packs of instant noodles from the space and placed them on the temporary small table, tearing open the plastic packaging smoothly.
Lin Wansheng watched the two busy, helplessly shrugged his shoulders, picked up a dagger, put on a raincoat and went to dig for crystal cores.
This was his job, a job that would last for a month.
The brazier was burning with charcoal that Lin Qianhuan had hoarded before the apocalypse, crackling under the licking of the flames.
“So warm.”
She stretched out her hand to warm herself by the side, sighing contentedly.
In the cold and dangerous apocalypse, a small brazier could make people feel extremely happy.
Lin Yixuan took a blanket from the car and put it on her. Watching the water in the pot gradually boiling, he threw all six noodle cakes in.
The chewy noodles gradually dispersed as the hot water boiled. Lin Qianhuan thought for a moment, and put in 3 more sausages.
Packets of seasoning powder were poured in one by one, and the aroma spread out, making people drool.
In fact, instant noodles are a very common food in the apocalypse, but in order to save water for cooking noodles, most people choose to sprinkle some seasoning powder and eat them dry.
It was raining today, so the three cooking noodles didn’t seem abrupt, but the aroma was indeed tempting.
“Second brother! The instant noodles are cooked, eat before you get busy.”
Lin Qianhuan waved at Lin Wansheng, who nodded, casually rinsed the crystal cores in his pocket with rainwater, and hurried back to the awning.
“Here, I only had time to dig 6, you take them.”
He handed the crystal cores to Lin Qianhuan, then stood by the awning and carefully washed his hands clean before relaxing and sitting on the small bench to wait for food.
Each person had a large bowl, full of instant noodles, with a sausage, which was already considered a top-notch instant noodle in the apocalypse.
Lin Qianhuan was satisfied with slurping the noodles, but still heard the approaching footsteps in the dense rain.
She turned her head to look, a woman in a red raincoat was approaching slowly, her face was mostly covered by the brim of the raincoat, making it difficult to see her face.
Seeing that the other party’s purpose seemed to be them, Lin Qianhuan frowned and put down the bowl, opening her mouth to scold, but was preempted by the other party.
“Qianhuan? Yixuan, Wansheng, is that you?”
The woman walked into the awning, took off the hood of her raincoat, revealing a sallow, withered face.
Lin Yixuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, exchanged a look with Lin Wansheng, and then opened his mouth: “What are you doing here?”
Lin Liu familiarly squatted by the brazier to warm herself, and replied with a smile, “I saw my nephews and nieces, can’t I come over to say hello?”
As she spoke, she looked at the three bowls of instant noodles and swallowed her saliva.
It smelled so good, although it wasn’t anything good, she hadn’t had hot noodles for a long time. Every day it was dry bread and steamed buns with mineral water.
Lin Qianhuan grabbed the handle of the brazier and pulled it to her side, not wanting to let Lin Liu take advantage of her at all.
“Yuncheng is really small. If I remember correctly, we haven’t contacted each other for 5 years, right?
I thought we had already broken off our relationship long ago, how can you still call yourself an aunt? Aren’t you ashamed?”
Lin Liu’s hand-rubbing movement suddenly froze, and she smiled awkwardly.
“We are all relatives, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected, how can this relationship be broken off so easily?
It’s all because your aunt has been negligent in recent years, and hasn’t often sent you messages to ask about your recent situation, it’s your aunt’s fault.”
Lin Qianhuan slurped a mouthful of noodles: “Knowing you’re wrong, then get lost, what does it look like staying here?
I still remember when you poured boiling tea on me, you wouldn’t have forgotten so quickly, right?”
Lin Liu clenched her hands tightly, feeling a little uneasy being stared at by the three of them.
“I was young and hot-tempered at the time, Qianhuan, don’t take it to heart.”
“I’m still pretty young now, do you want to feel how hot-tempered I am?”
Lin Qianhuan put the bowl of noodles on the table, picked up the noodle soup on the brazier and splashed it over.
There was a lot of soup left in the pot. Although most of it was blocked by Lin Liu’s raincoat, a few drops still splashed on her face and hands.
“Ah! It’s burning me! What do you want to do, you little bitch!”
Lin Liu screamed in despair. The places that were splashed by the noodle soup quickly turned red and swollen, and there was already a faint tendency to blister.
She rushed into the rain to cool her cheeks and hands, but the pain was extraordinarily difficult to eliminate, constantly stimulating her nerves.
Lin Wansheng glanced at Lin Qianhuan disapprovingly: “Why didn’t you throw charcoal at her?
Look, the noodle soup is blocked by her raincoat, you can’t see any effect.”
Lin Liu became even more distraught listening to Lin Wansheng’s words. She cursed: “You three fathered but motherless dogs, why didn’t your mother take you away when she hanged herself!
You heartless things! I’m your own aunt, Lin Yixuan, as the eldest brother, don’t you know to restrain your younger siblings a little!
You actually watched them tease an elder! What kind of brother are you!”
Lin Yixuan calmly swallowed the last mouthful of noodles, and patted Lin Qianhuan who was watching the show: “Eat your noodles quickly, you won’t like them if they get soggy.”
Seeing that her desperate curses were ignored, Lin Liu’s chest heaved violently, and she was about to faint from anger.
