I Have a Post Apocalyptic Online Friend C11.2

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. 🙂

Chapter 11. part 2

Lu Yuan has been acting strange lately. Their chats had become noticeably less frequent. Even when she tried to discuss important matters, he would only reply with a few brief words, unlike his previous long-winded responses.

Could he be having second thoughts? Does he not want to team up with me anymore?

Zhou An’an had been holding back her worries for days, but today she couldn’t take it anymore. Determined to get a clear answer, she initiated a video call.

The call rang and rang without an answer. Just as she was about to hang up and try again later, it suddenly connected.

The screen was pitch black. She couldn’t see anything.

Confused, Zhou An’an called out, “Lu Yuan? Is that you?”

“Cough… cough…”

A man’s hoarse, weak cough echoed through the speaker. After a moment, he asked, “What’s up?”

Something felt wrong. “Are you sick?” she asked.

“No, just… not feeling great.”

He finished speaking and broke into another violent coughing fit.

Zhou An’an’s heart clenched as she listened. He sounded like he was coughing himself into an early grave.

“What’s wrong with you? Did something happen?”

Lu Yuan finally explained, “I went out to find food a while ago and got injured.”

“What kind of injury? Is it serious? Don’t tell me you were bitten by a zombie! Are you going to turn?”

Zhou An’an fired off a barrage of questions. He let out a wry chuckle. “So many questions. Which one should I answer first?”

She had never seen him so vulnerable and felt completely lost. “You absolutely can’t let anything happen to you!”

Lu Yuan asked, “Are you afraid I’ll die, or are you afraid of facing the apocalypse alone?”

Zhou An’an answered honestly, “Both.”

Lu Yuan chuckled softly. “Don’t worry, I won’t die. As long as I’m still breathing, I’ll come find you. Let’s not contact each other for a while. You focus on practicing your driving. After the apocalypse hits, wait for me in the car for three days. If you don’t see me after three days, you need to leave. And remember, if you notice anything unusual, get to the car and hide immediately.”

As she listened, her nose began to sting, and her eyes welled up. It felt like a final farewell. “Where would I go?” she asked.

“Go anywhere you want. With this car, your chances of survival will be much higher than anyone else’s.”

“I’m not leaving,” Zhou An’an said stubbornly. “If you don’t come, I’ll wait in the car forever.”

Lu Yuan sighed.

“Don’t you have a Base?” she asked. “What about the others there? Don’t they care about you?”

Lu Yuan didn’t answer, continuing as if lost in his own thoughts.

“When I was a kid, I watched movies about the world before the apocalypse.. I really longed for that world… Birds singing, flowers blooming, towering skyscrapers, people happily going to work and school, owning their own houses, their own cars… I was born in the Base. I’ve never had a home in my life. Living with family in that world must be so blissful, right? I wish I could see it with my own eyes…”

Zhou An’an had lived in his dream world for twenty-three years, yet she hadn’t felt happy since her parents died.

The things she had taken for granted, even despised, were things Lu Yuan could only dream of.

She burst into tears.

“I’ll wait for you here. You have to come. I bought you flowers…”

She had modified the car, trimmed the flower stems, and laid out fresh sheets.

Everything in her small world was waiting for him to arrive.

How could he not come?
