Chapter 360
Edited by Chubby;
A woman whose hair was tied up on her head stopped Chu Yunsheng, and said:
“Can you help me?”
She could only be identified as a woman due to her voice . Wrapped in thick, messy clothes, and with an unkempt appearance, it was very hard to tell their gender just by her looks .
The woman was struggling to move a dead body . She was followed by a child about 6 or 7 years old .
Seeing that there was no response from Chu Yunsheng, she looked anxiously at the sky that was getting darker and darker . She begged: "Brother, this is my younger brother (the dead body) . The child is too young to lift it . I want to bury him there, so the kid will have a place to commemorate the dead . ”
Chu Yunsheng looked at her with glassy eyes . Then he looked at the cold body on the ground . There was a hole in its body caused by a red shell insect . The body’s internal organs were held in place by a piece of cloth, and it was already frozen into an ice cube .
Chu Yunsheng wiped off the snow from his mouth and breathed in the freezing air . He then began to lift up the man's body by its feet . Both of them moved slowly and clumsily towards the burial zone planned by Hong Kong general administration department .
The air was filled with depressed smells . The child seemed to be frightened by the war that happened in the past few days . His eyes fluttered in dismay, his lips were purple, and he kept pressing them together very hard while tightly holding the corner of the woman's clothes without saying anything .
"Brother, what about your family?" The woman was lifting the body's arms while asking the question as if it was a normal topic .
Chu Yunsheng spat out the snow in his mouth, and began to move his lips . However, his vocal cords weren’t functioning properly .
Unlike Chu Yunsheng, the woman seemed to feel numb about losing her family member .
Seeing Chu Yunsheng looking dispirited, she began to talk to him like nothing had happened . “Lost everything? Sigh!~ it’s our fate . Brother, don’t be sad . I was like you when my husband died, I cried for seven days and seven nights non-stop . I cried until my tears dried up . But now? I’ve become used to it, and once you become used to it, your feelings will become numb, and you will find out that it is not a big deal . ”
Chu Yunsheng was bowing his head down and lifting the body with a numb expression . But the woman still kept talking like she suddenly found someone that would listen to her: “Brother, if you are alone, when we get back, I'll introduce someone to you . You see, the government is encouraging us to help each other . To us, the best way to do that is to live together as a family . As the old saying goes: Two people that live together will know how to take care of each other, it is much better than living alone . If you are sick, there will always be someone beside you . ”
Suddenly, Chu Yunsheng knitted his brows and glanced around as if he was looking for something .
The woman thought that Chu Yunsheng was interested, so she carried on: “Finding a good woman to live with is not easy . Looking at your situation . You definitely don't want those who already have kids . Those without any ability to work are not suitable either . The ideal ones are those who are able to work, have the ability to endure hunger, those who are not sick, and know how to take care of you . ”
Chu Yunsheng suddenly stopped, his glassy eyes suddenly became focused and he looked very serious .
The woman didn't notice the change . When she was about to say something again, a man suddenly appeared . He was carrying a broken backpack, limping towards the woman with happiness .
“Brother,” she said to Chu Yunsheng, “This is my man . ” The woman dropped the body, and walked toward the man . “Elder Niu, how is it? Did you get it?”
The man put down the broken backpack and stroked the kid's head . He smiled, and said, “Luckily, I found my aunty early . I got some before the government got there . Those fuckers from the government even want to take away the food that the master insect gave to my aunty . ”
The woman opened the bag and looked inside . A smile instantly appeared on her face . She quickly closed the bag, and gave her man a strange look . She said: “Careful what you say . They will arrest you for that . We are just regular citizens…”
The man smiled fatuously: “Okay, okay, oh right, I also heard something very strange . It is said that the master insect had a kid with a human, and that kid is currently with the people from the government . ”
The woman cracked up, and said: “You believe that? I also heard that the master insect is Chu Clan's master's relative . ”
Her laugh made Chu Yunsheng feel uncomfortable . Why could a person that lost her husband, her parents, and her brother laugh like that next to her dead brother's body?
The man picked up the kid, shook his head, and said: “In this age, any strange thing can happen… . ”
Chu Yunsheng suddenly stepped way . He felt a familiar fire elemental energy coming from the ground below them .
Before the man finished talking, the ground began to shake . Suddenly, an infested human that was almost 5 meters tall dug out of the ground .
It was heavily injured, its shells were heavily broken, and there was even a hole in its stomach .
