Title: A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse
Translator: Little Bamboo Spirit
Chapter 240 - Peacefully leaving wasn't Huo Ren's style (3)
Jia Han shared all that he knew about the situation with them. Afterwards, Bei Nuan didn't want Jia Han and the others to send her off. After leaving the tent, she and Lu Xingchi headed back to her place.
"You have to be careful when taking things out of your pocket space in the future," Lu Xingchi warned.
Bei Nuan knew what he was worried about.
"I know. It'll all be over if I accidentally take out the explosives."
Bei Nuan suddenly thought of something. If she had failed the previous Holy Mother's task, time would have resumed its flow on the upper level. If she encountered another punishment like that, she had to complete the associated task no matter what.
Otherwise, she might be doomed. If the explosives went off in her pocket space, it might affect the outside. For now, she was safe and didn't have to worry about it. She had safely put away the pile of things tied with explosives in a corner of the upper level.
The tribe was very quiet. Everyone was still sleeping and didn't know that while they were dreaming, the tribe had almost experienced a catastrophe.
There was no one on the path. Lu Xingchi reached out and held Bei Nuan's hand in the hollow of his palm.
The moon hadn't come out yet. Even if she was blushing, no one would be able to see, so she didn't pull her hand away.
The sky was too dark. Most of the camp was an ongoing construction site, and it wasn't easy to navigate. They were like two kindergartners, holding hands and walking unsteadily because of the uneven path.
"Walking like this, it reminds me of your name," Bei Nuan said.
Lu Xingchi's voice came from the darkness. "That's right. We go slowly."
In this novel, zombies conquered the world through their teeth and close combat. The modern armies with their missiles were nowhere to be seen. Britain, France, Germany, and Italy had been eaten by the author. Fortunately, the Book of Songs (collection of Chinese poems) still existed.
We go slowly. We are hungry and thirsty.
(T/N: This is a line from a poem about homesick warriors and comes from The Book of Songs. Lu Xingchi's first name comes from this poem.)
Lu Xingchi suddenly laughed and said, "As long as you're here, I won't be hungry or thirsty."
Bei Nuan thought; that's right. Her pocket space was filled with all kinds of delicious food and drinks. There was no way he would ever be hungry or thirsty.
No matter how difficult the path was, it wasn't long, and they would reach their destination soon.
Seeing the ray of light that wasn't far away, Bei Nuan let go of his hand and took a few steps forward.
However, Lu Xingchi couldn't bear to let go of her. He strode forward, found her hand, and held it tightly. He refused to let go.
Up ahead was the Bei Nuan's residence. The lamps were lit in the courtyard, and the warm lights shone out and illuminated the darkness.
Jia Han had already told them everything he knew, and there was nothing left to find here, so Bei Nuan discussed with Lu Xingchi, "Let's leave tomorrow?"
Lu Xingchi surprisingly hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about we live here for a little longer and leave the day after tomorrow?"
Bei Nuan's ability to analyze his words had improved. Hearing the word "live", she immediately figured out why he wanted to stay. He wanted to stay in her room.
"Lu Xingchi, Yawen is dead, and even Huo Ren is gone. There's no danger left in the camp. Why don't you move out to sleep tonight?"
Lu Xingchi held her hand and thought that she had no conscience. She wanted to get rid of him as soon as he lost his usefulness.
Lu Xingchi calmly asked, "The other rooms are far from you. This place is a barren wilderness. Aren't you afraid of other things?"
Bei Nuan: "..."
Too despicable. The tribe's camp was surrounded by barren hills, and the surroundings were a blanket of darkness. Even when she had been sleeping in the wild, there were others close by.
During the times she was sleeping indoors, Lu Xingchi would be sleeping in the neighboring room. She really didn't know if she would be comfortable sleeping alone. Even though she knew that he was deliberately trying to scare her, she still felt uneasy.
Forget it, he could sleep on the bedding on the floor again.
Lu Xingchi waited with a worried heart. He thought she would say something along the lines of wanting the little monkey to keep her company at night, but he found out that she had forgotten about the monkey.
"Just this once," Bei Nuan said.
Lu Xingchi faintly smiled and held her hand as they walked into the courtyard. He could fall asleep hugging her again.
Unexpectedly, he saw someone coming out of the main room when they got there.
Du Ruo was holding a slice of dragon fruit in his left hand and a slice of pineapple in his right hand. When he saw them, he hurriedly raised his head and swallowed the mango in his mouth.
"You guys are back? You're too outrageous. You hid here and ate delicious food behind our backs while we've been eating cassava the past few days!"
Laugher spilled out of the room. Jiang Fei and Tang Tang were also here and playing with Great Sage.
Dansui brought over several plates of fruit. Seeing that Bei Nuan had returned, she hastily explained, "Chief Jia Han sent them over to be your attendants. They came here shortly after you left."
Du Ruo rushed to say, "I saw the rooms for the attendants. It's two people per room."
He put his arm around Lu Xingchi's shoulder and said, "Let's agree on this now, Lu Xingchi, I want to share a room with you. After you left, we slept in the same tent and Tang Tang was laughing and singing in his sleep. He was so noisy. I couldn't sleep well all night."
Tang Tang struck back, "Big Brother Du Ruo, you're just as bad. You yelled in the middle night - who wants to come and have a taste of my Ming Hong Knife? You wanted to cut people in half. Why do you even care about their names? Big Brother Lu, I want to sleep with you."
Lu Xingchi didn't say anything, but Bei Nuan thought he was probably grinding his teeth.
There were lights here, and it wasn't dark.
Du Ruo happily said, "We're all here. Let's play cards tonight."
Tang Tang immediately agreed, "All night long?"
Lu Xingchi indifferently said, "No, we're leaving tomorrow. Get a good night's rest."
Bei Nuan raised her head to look at him. Eh? He was willing to leave here again?
In the end, Du Ruo became roommates with Lu Xingchi, and Bei Nuan called Dansui over to sleep together. The night passed by uneventfully.
