Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You mean drink your leftover soup and eat your leftover dregs?”
In order to survive, Li Hui had no choice but to eat what she was given.
There was a hint of mockery on her face.
The fat man had never been this humiliated in his life!
“I’m taking her away,” said the tall man, but he did not take any action.
Instead, he looked at the fat man.
The fat man was terrified and instantly admitted defeat. He nodded and bowed repeatedly.
Another person got out of the car.
“Tsk, what did I say? Everyone is afraid. He just looks fierce. There’s nothing he can do,” said the man as he lifted his glasses.
It was as if he had just watched a show.
When Lin Nan heard this, he chuckled. “You’re much fiercer than him.”
The tall man was Li Ran’s husband!
“You really can’t judge a book by its cover.”
“…”
“Sigh, you’re right.”
The man with the glasses was Fang Lin. He was the head of the army and an old friend of Lin Nan.
Lin Nan had come to rescue his wife.
Fang Lin had never seen her before. He was looking forward to it!
Lin Nan then asked Li Hui to enter the car, she followed.
Li Ran’s parents were in the back seat.
Li Hui had no place to sit, the car was packed with people.
When Li Ran’s mother saw this scene, she immediately said, “Child, come sit at the back. Just squeeze in a little.”
Without thinking much about it, Li Hui immediately did what she was told.
Lin Nan closed the car’s door and said, “What about that fatty?”
“Do whatever you want. Do you want to make room for him?”
“He’s also a human.”
Lin Nan then remembered what Fang Lin had told him, to be fiercer or else he would not be able to save his wife.
He reluctantly decided to leave the fat man by himself.
Fang Lin forced a smile and said, “Not everyone can be saved.”
The incident with Li Hui was actually discovered by Li Ran’s father.
He noticed that the road was blocked by zombies, so they needed to find an alternative route and it was then they saw the incident between Li Hui and the fat man.
As Lin Nan drove away, he looked out of the car’s window. The fat man was just standing there, looking dejected. The whip in his hand had long fallen to the ground. He looked very pitiful.
Lin Nan pursed his lips and said, “We can’t just leave him to die, can we?”
Li Hui took another look at the fat man as well. She rubbed some dust off her face and said, “He still has a lot of food. He won’t die. There’s also barely any zombies or humans in this area.”
She was actually half-lying.
The fat man does not have much food left at all.
As far as she knew, there were only two cars that had passed by this road.1
If they had let him tagged along, he would have killed everyone and taken everything that was valuable. After all, more people meant more mouths to feed. That fat man would never share anything with anyone if he could help it!
Therefore, Li Hui thought that it would be better for them to leave him.
“Is there any food? I’m so hungry.”
Lin Nan took out a bag that contained some bread and water. He then handed it to Li Hui.
She nodded and said softly, “Thank you for saving me.”
“Didn’t you say that the fat man has a lot of food? How are you still hungry?”
Fang Lin was bored so he teased her.
Lin Nan could not be bothered with him.
Li Hui opened the bag and instantly drank a mouthful of water. Then, she took a small bite out of the bread and chewed slowly. Finally, she answered Fang Lin’s question, “Food is so precious. He would never willingly share it with me…”
“Tsk, what a horrible man.”
“But it’s understandable,” Li Hui said casually.
Lin Nan looked at Li Hui through the rearview mirror. He comprehended what she was saying.
‘What the fat man did was understandable, but unforgivable.’
…
Soon, they arrived at his apartment.
Lin Nan stopped and got out of the car.
Looking at the scene of the area, his heart began thumping and he felt a little anxious. Lin Nan then turned around and instructed, “Wang Mian, you stay here and protect them. Fang Lin, follow me.”
“Okay! Yes, Sir!”
Fang Lin got out of the car with a smile.
Before Lin Nan headed up to his unit, he reminded the rest, “Do not leave the car until we get back.”
“Got it.”
