The Vicious Female Character at the End of Days: C31.2

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

Chapter 31. (2/2)

The group entered the small room, which was only a few dozen square meters, and sat down on the sofa and chairs at the host’s invitation.

“My surname is Li, and I’m a professor at this school. This is my wife,” Professor Li introduced.

Bai Tian Tian asked, “Why aren’t you going to the survivor base? Are you trapped here?”

Professor Li explained that after the apocalypse, he and his wife had no way to escape and were forced to stay in their room. Fortunately, his wife had always kept food stocked at home, which allowed them to survive until now.

The electricity and water supply in Huacheng were partially intact and could still be used for a while.

He contacted his son last month and learned that he was at the Yaoyang Base, but his son never came to take them to the survivor base.

The elderly couple endured for another two months before finally seeing them today.

Professor Li, with his refined demeanor and gentle speech, said, “I know survival in the apocalypse is difficult now, and old people like us are a burden.”

“I have a favor to ask of you. Could you send my wife to the survivor base? My son is doing research there, and he will definitely be able to offer you something.”

Everyone looked at Fu Chen.

Huacheng was a day’s journey from the Yaoyang Base. Taking this elderly couple along wouldn’t be a problem for the Thunder Squad.

Bai Tian Tian, her face streaked with tears, looked pleadingly at Fu Chen as she gazed at the two gaunt elderly people.

Meanwhile, Bai Qing Qing received a side quest.

[Side Quest Activated: Help the elderly professor and his wife find their son, Li Jin. Hidden Quest – Can obtain clues about a virus related to the apocalypse. Completing the quest will earn 1000 points.]

The original story didn’t mention the elderly couple. However, since it was a quest related to virus clues, she had to accept it.

Bai Qing Qing looked at Fu Chen and said, “Brother, we’re also going to the Yaoyang Base, so let’s take Professor Li and Aunt Li with us.”

Fu Chen wasn’t a pushover and wouldn’t abandon them. He calmly said, “Come with me tomorrow.”

Professor Li’s eyes showed gratitude, and he said apologetically, “Thank you for your trouble.”

The room wasn’t large, so Professor Li and his wife brought out all the blankets they had at home to make makeshift beds for them.

Bai Tian Tian, being somewhat shrewd, hadn’t revealed her spatial abilities since being taken advantage of in Zhou Village, and helped make the beds. The next day, after regrouping, the team set off again. Huacheng was no place to linger. The modified vehicle crushed zombies as it drove out of the city, speeding towards the Yaoyang Base.

The climate was changing after the apocalypse. It rained at noon, and the rain washed away the virus, worsening its spread.

After the heavy rain, the sun reappeared in the sky, its long rays illuminating the wilderness. The modified vehicle was parked by the roadside, ready to spend the night.

With two more people in the RV, they began to rearrange the accommodations.

The professor and his wife shared a room, Bai Tian Tian and Bai Qing Qing shared another, and the remaining five men were divided into two: two to keep watch at night, and the other two to sleep in the beds during shifts, while they slept on the large sofa in the car during the day.

As they approached the Yaoyang Base, Bai Qing Qing couldn’t sleep. After all, she hadn’t received any notification from the system that she had successfully won over Xiao Yang, or that Cheng Rui had fallen for her.

Her relationship with Cheng Rui had clearly progressed further; how could he not have fallen for her yet?

Cheng Rui and Shen Mingxuan were on night watch for the first half of the night. They had been busy with their own things during the day and had barely spoken.

Bai Qing Qing dressed, then took a man’s jacket from her spatial storage, followed by a can of cola. Clutching the jacket and cola, she got out of the car.

Shen Mingxuan and Cheng Rui had a decent relationship. The two men didn’t have much to say to each other, sitting silently on the car roof, wary of their surroundings.

Therefore, Bai Qing Qing was noticed as soon as she got out of the car.

She looked up at the roof, a soft smile on her face, and called softly, “Cheng Rui, come down.”

Cheng Rui immediately got up to find her. Shen Mingxuan looked down at her. Ever since she had deliberately revealed her true self to him that day, she had become even more unrestrained in his presence.

Bai Qing Qing handed the jacket to Cheng Rui, saying with concern, “It’s cold on the night watch. Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet, so wear this so you don’t get a cold.”

Cheng Rui possessed fire-attribute abilities and wasn’t actually very afraid of the cold. Seeing her concerned expression, he took the jacket and put it on. Bai Qing Qing handed him the cola and said, “This is for you.”

Cheng Rui took the cola.

Bai Qing Qing reached out and pulled his clothes up, her expression pleading. “Cheng Rui,” she said, “I heard from Liang Zhiyu that you’re a sharpshooter in the army. Could you teach me how to shoot?”

Cheng Rui’s eyes darkened slightly. So, her concern for him stemmed from a request.

Bai Qing Qing felt a little nervous, clasping her hands to her chest and blinking. “Please,” she said, “please?”
