Chapter 388: It's Not Like I Haven't Lost Loved Ones Before
The cactus grows quickly, mixed with some unknown flowers and plants, flourishing wildly in the warm air.
An Ran silently absorbs and releases her supernatural power when Zhao Ru suddenly rushes out. An Ran quickly opens her eyes and looks back.
She sees Zhao Ru charge up to Zhang Boxun, who has already entered the courtyard, raise her hand, and slap his handsome face hard enough to twist it to one side.
She says nothing, her eyes full of hatred as she stares at Zhang Boxun.
Zhang Boxun purses his lips, a heroic spirit flashing in his eyes, and keeps his head tilted, as if willing to endure Zhao Ru’s blows and scolding.
Tang Siluo, unaware of what’s happening, steps forward and stands beside Zhang Boxun. She frowns at Zhao Ru and asks loudly, “A’ru, what’s wrong with you? What did Zhang Boxun do to you?”
“What did he do to me?!” Zhao Ru’s eyes turn cold as she slowly shifts her gaze from Zhang Boxun’s face to Tang Siluo’s. Seeing Tang Siluo’s angry expression, Zhao Ru sneers, “Tang Siluo, Miss Tang, you’re lucky to have so many men willing to risk everything for you. But I really want to know—what can you do without your father?”
In this increasingly bizarre apocalypse, Zhao Ru, once a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo, has no offensive power, but she isn’t a burden. She works hard to ensure she doesn’t become one for the team.
So, by aligning herself with An Ran, she first declares her identity as a water-ability user. She and her aunt need recognition, and that starts by proving their value.
But what about Tang Siluo? A strength ability user who, when facing zombies, doesn’t dig for crystal cores like Liang Ziyu’s group, nor does she avoid danger like Yun Tao. Instead, she follows Luo Feifan to dangerous places like a lovestruck fool. If that isn’t a burden, what is?
What angers Zhao Ru the most is Zhang Boxun. Instead of rescuing Zhao Qianrong, who’s closest to him, he goes to save Tang Siluo, who’s just blindly following Luo Feifan. As a result, her aunt dies. This is the deepest grief and fury in Zhao Ru’s heart.
Looking at Tang Siluo’s stunned face and Zhang Boxun’s silent, handsome face, Zhao Ru cries, shakes her head, takes two steps back, points at them, and shouts in a broken voice: “It’s the end of the world, it’s the end of the world, Tang Siluo!!! It’s not like I haven’t lost loved ones before, it’s not like I haven’t!!! I’m angry because my aunt had a chance to survive! Zhang Boxun, you only needed to throw a flying knife—you only needed to take two steps toward my aunt! Two steps!!! But you’d rather go in a big circle, unwilling to save her. If my aunt died at the mouth of a zombie today, I would have nothing to say. But she was killed by you—you, Zhang Boxun, and Tang Siluo! You two killed her!”
After saying this, Zhao Ru turns her head and looks at An Ran, who is quietly emitting abilities in the courtyard, and asks, “You decide, An Ran. Should Tang Siluo and Zhang Boxun stay, or should I? Either I leave, or they leave!”
“You.” An Ran chooses Zhao Ru without hesitation.
If she chooses Zhao Ru, she can still have water to drink. What can she do if she chooses Tang Siluo? Whatever Zhang Boxun can do, Zhan Lian can do as well!
Then An Ran shrugs, looks at Zhan Lian and Luo Feifan, and says to Zhao Ru, “But my choice doesn’t count. Maybe it’ll be us leaving instead.”
