"Ah... I’ve been with the boss for such a long ti, never expected such an ending."
"What are you talking about, do you have a death wish?"
"Of course, I value my life, but look at how many people have died now? The original boss was not like this!"
"You...Yeah, that’s right."
"What was Boss Chen like before?"
"You wouldn’t know this, but years ago we brothers fought our way out of Lin City together with the boss. We were as close as brothers who would risk our lives for each other. When we first ford the biker gang, we had principles, we only robbed, never killed!"
"Really?"
"No kidding."
"Then why did Boss Chen change?"
"Who knows."
"I don’t know about that, but it seems like the changes started around May."
"Right, right, it was around that ti, we seed to be bombing the entrances to the highways, right?"
"That was when the boss changed."
"Yeah, at that ti, the boss was afraid that the military would enter Lin City for rescue. The biker gangs of Lin City were much more audacious than yours. The highways were full of bikers, everyone in Lin City knew about the infamy. The boss was just afraid of being noticed by the existing governnt, and that’s why he decided to bomb the highways..."
"But didn’t you guys only rob and not kill? Why would you be afraid of the governnt noticing? In this world, there are many more murderers, who would care about you?"
"You don’t know anything. Our boss was a Level 3 at the ti, and the second-in-command was only Level 2. Not all biker gangs listened to us about only robbing and not killing."
"I rember sothing’s not right, we bombed the highway entrances because one of our bases was wiped out by a high-level zombie. We were afraid that the zombie would reach the highway. At that ti, we divided into groups to carry out the bombing, and the boss was with Fei Wen’s group."
"Ah, now you’ve hit the nail on the head. Only the boss and the second-in-command ca back. Fei Wen and the others all died. When the boss ca back, he was like a changed man."
The conversations from the people outside were filled with regret. From their tone, it seed that the Chen brothers used to be a gang of bikers with principles.
However, why Chen Zhou’an beca brutal and allowed zombies to attack his own people is intriguing.
It’s unclear what Chen Zhou’an went out to do. Tang Ye and Niu Xiaosan waited for nearly twenty minutes. Zombies are not known for their patience, and for Tang Ye, waiting was a very agonizing thing.
Just when Tang Ye was about to go crazy waiting, he heard a "creak" sound. Chen Zhou’an walked in from outside.
"I’m sorry to keep you waiting."
As soon as he entered, Chen Zhou’an first apologized. However, there was sothing strange in his eyes, a mix of hope and helplessness.
"Cut the crap, I just want to hear about the matter at hand." Tang Ye responded coldly, expressing all his dissatisfaction.
"I’m sorry, please have a seat first."
Chen Zhou’an pointed to the sofa and asked Tang Ye to sit down. After he sat down, Chen Zhou’an took out two packs of red-packaged cigarettes from his pocket.
"Here, have a smoke first."
Tang Ye looked at the cigarette, slowly tore it open, and watched Chen Zhou’an’s movents as he did so.
After Chen Zhou’an ripped open the cigarette packaging, he quickly lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, exhaled a thick cloud of white smoke, and a look of enjoynt spread across his face.
Clearly, Chen Zhou’an had not smoked for a long ti, or perhaps had not smoked an expensive cigarette for a long ti.
Seeing him like this, Tang Ye promptly tore his open, lit a cigarette and started smoking.
I must say, the cigarette indeed tasted different from other cigarettes...
"Tell , where is that thing?"
After the two sat opposite each other, blowing clouds and exhaling smoke, Tang Ye finally spoke coldly.
To his surprise, Chen Zhou’an didn’t respond to his question. Instead, he asked in a strange tone, "You heard their conversation outside, didn’t you?"
There was a mysterious look in Chen Zhou’an’s eyes. Tang Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly, as he began to recall what the bikers outside had said.
After a few seconds, Tang Ye sensed sothing unusual. He rembered the first person’s words, "I’ve been with the boss for so long, never expected such an ending."
Why did the first person say that? What was his ending?
In a post-apocalyptic world, there are only two possible outcos: Either becoming extraordinarily successful or death.
But the first person didn’t die, he was still alive and well! So why did he say that?
Tang Ye was slightly bewildered as he unconsciously touched his nose, then looked intently at Chen Zhou’an.
"Did you find anything?" Chen Zhou’an asked calmly. For so reason, Tang Ye felt the abruptness in his words, as if he was eagerly wanting Tang Ye to understand the reason.
Realizing this, Tang Ye started to pay attention to the people outside. No sooner had he done so than he noticed sothing strange.
The people outside had the scent of living flesh on them, but their scent also carried a vaguely oppressive and rotten odor.
This was the sll of zombies!
"What are you trying to say?"
"Just feel it a bit more." Chen Zhou’an closed his eyes and said nothing more to Tang Ye after that.
"Hey, Chen Zhou’an, don’t think that you’re invincible in this world. Do you know..."
Seeing Chen Zhou’an ignoring Tang Ye, Niu Xiaosan felt he should speak up. In this post-apocalyptic world, who isn’t a shrewd person? He naturally could see that Tang Ye was far more formidable than Chen Zhou’an.
Although Chen Zhou’an was his previous boss, now there was a more powerful being protecting him, so of course he needed to defend Tang Ye.
PS: It’s funny, soone tipped 10,000 book coins yesterday. I saw it at first, but I forgot to acknowledge it the next day, as the na seed sowhat familiar.
The reader ssaged on QQ saying I was too proud, not even acknowledging a tip. Ah, man, I really didn’t an to not acknowledge it.
I have so social issues. Normally, no one chats with on those social dia apps. I wonder if so readers are the sa. I only use QQ to play gas, otherwise I wouldn’t even have it installed.
From childhood till now, I always saw others happily chatting on QQ, but when I opened QQ, all I saw were group chats and promotions. The sa with WeChat. Usually, I only text my parents. The rest is just used for paynts. No one seed to chat with . As ti went on, I got used to not checking QQ and WeChat and even felt reluctant to chat with people.
Many early readers say I am lazy. Maybe it’s because of my personality. I want to chat with people but don’t know whom to chat with. When soone wants to chat with , I don’t want to chat for long. I usually have a lot of free ti, but for so reason, I always feel there’s sothing waiting for to do. Chatting with others feels like wasting ti. I also don’t know what’s going on.
The main character’s personality in the book is based on mine. I usually like to act funny, but most of the ti, I prefer being alone.
One reader berated on QQ for not replying in a week. This isn’t because I lack manners. Sotis I genuinely don’t see the ssage, or sotis even upon seeing it, I don’t want to reply. It’s not because I despise you or anything like that, I’m just afraid I wouldn’t know what to say after a while. I have a talent for running out of things to say during a conversation, which gives a bit of social anxiety.
To be honest, I’m just not good at verbal communication. But my heart is filled with thoughts, and I lack the ability to express them outwardly.
So, dear readers, please understand. I will be giving out so little benefits in the group this month. Thank you for your support. Don’t worry, I won’t stall the progress of the book. I used to despise books left unfinished by their authors. I swear I won’t beco like that!
Here, I would like to thank Ai Shui, Xiao Zhisqing, Hai Qilai, Nangong☆Shashen, Qianglong Zhi Xiang for the tips.
