Chapter 424: If I Care About You Again, I’m a Pig
She had thought she hadn’t been beaten by the apocalypse, but from the looks of it now, she had been ruthlessly beaten in dealing with enemies.
“Don’t do such a foolish thing again. You can’t get involved in this kind of battle.”
During the bandaging, Tang Ya didn’t forget to remind Tang Ze to leave this place quickly. He might still be able to live.
“I’m just a gofer. A big battle won’t fall to me.”
Tang Ya deliberately pressed on Tang Ze’s wound. Tang Ze even let out a hiss. Too much.
“The island nation people have all gotten involved. Do you still think it’s easy to go to the forbidden land this time? If you die, no one will be sad for you.”
Tang Ze suddenly asked, “Won’t you?”
Tang Ya’s actions paused for a moment. She said softly, “No.”
Tang Ze rolled his eyes. She really doesn’t know how to say nice things.
In an instant, this conversation seemed to have been broken. They fell into an awkward situation.
Tang Ze took out a pack of Huazi and handed one over.
“I’m not in the mood.”
Tang Ze let out a “tsk.” He lit one himself and walked toward the hot pot restaurant not far away.
Arriving at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, Tang Ze looked at the pierced roof. The bloodstains were still vaguely visible at the entrance. After all, it was his own masterpiece.
Tang Ya was also observing. Looking at the broken roof, there seemed to be a pair of footprints remaining on the cement floor. It seemed someone had descended from the sky and killed the people at the entrance.
“What are you doing here?” Tang Ya asked curiously. As a member of the Yang family, although he was a small captain and had some strength, he could still wander around outside. Didn’t the Yang family’s people say anything about him?
Tang Ze pushed open the door. The center still had tables and chairs. Even the pot was still there. But the corpses inside had all been cleared away.
“This used to be an internet-famous hot pot restaurant. You had to wait in line for four or five hours. Now it’s like this.”
Tang Ya looked around the restaurant. There was a circle of blood on the surrounding ground. It felt like someone had stood in a circle before, with people sitting in the middle eating hot pot…
“Are you from Pinggao City?”
Watching Tang Ze leave, Tang Ya asked.
“I saw it on Douyin (TikTok). Before I could even eat, the disaster came.”
“Oh.”
Walking and walking, they came to the riverbank again. There were even long benches beside it…
Tang Ya’s heart couldn’t help but beat a little faster. Perhaps it was because she had thought of the absurd things from that night. Thinking back now, her courage was too great, to dare to casually find a strange man and give herself to him.
The fortunate thing was that the strange man was this kind of person. If it had been a person who coveted small profits, he would have been wiped out long ago.
“Do you have any more cigarettes?” Tang Ya asked.
“Uh, there’s only one left.”
“…”
Ask, and it’s the last one.
So, just like that night, you take a puff, I take a puff.
“It’s been so long in the apocalypse. Has anyone ever proactively given you food? I’m talking about strangers.”
Tang Ya exhaled a puff of smoke and gave the cigarette to Tang Ze. “Besides you giving me a cigarette to smoke, it seems there’s no one else. What about you?”
“It’s just you who let me take advantage.”
This made Tang Ya so angry her eyes went horizontal. Taking advantage and still playing innocent.
“Actually, someone has given me food before. It was just out of pure pity for me. But it was also her last food.”
“I didn’t expect there to be such a person. What about her?”
“She’s dead.”
Tang Ze flicked his cigarette ash and handed it to Tang Ya.
Tang Ya was stunned for a moment, took the cigarette, and took a puff. “I’ve also seen many kind people. But these kindnesses were all eventually obliterated. Even a kind person will eventually be forced to do bad things, all for survival.”
“Actually, she originally didn’t have to die. It was my carelessness. I thought she had stayed in the complex for so long, and the people around wouldn’t bully her. But I never expected that after I went back, the person had died.”
Tang Ya understood. The parking lot from before should have been the scene of the crime.
And in that hot pot restaurant, could it be the place of revenge?
It had to be said, Tang Ya was indeed smart. From Tang Ze’s narration, she could guess one or two things.
“Why do you care so much about her?”
“It’s a feeling. Originally, I planned to take her in. After all, her parents had also died in the apocalypse. We were both orphans. A sense of pity arose.”
“You’re an orphan?”
“Yes.”
“I still don’t even know your name.”
Tang Ya suddenly let out a low laugh. Her first man, and she didn’t even know his name.
“Tang Ze.”
Tang Ya was stunned.
“Don’t tell me your family lost a child. Then our relationship would be a little messy.”
Tang Ya rolled her eyes. “I’ve never heard of the family losing a child. Don’t guess randomly.”
“My name is Tang Ya.”
“We’re both from the Tang family. Then it doesn’t matter whose surname the child takes in the future, right?” Tang Ze said jokingly.
Tang Ya also began to tease Tang Ze. “You were just saying that about me. And now you want a child.”
“Didn’t you start it? I’m just learning from you.”
Chatting was always relaxing. The time for a cigarette was very short. As the cigarette butt was extinguished, Tang Ya said again, “Let’s go. Don’t go and die in vain. There aren’t many people like you now. If you live, you can help more people.”
“Only by becoming stronger can one save more people. Isn’t that the logic?” Tang Ze retorted.
“You won’t get the rare blue ore. I can give you a piece…”
“You think I’ll accept your charity? Heh heh.”
With that, Tang Ze turned and left. But the corner of his mouth was raised.
Tang Ya never expected that something others coveted in their dreams, she would give it to him for free, and he still wouldn’t want it.
It was so infuriating.
Tang Ya shouted at Tang Ze’s departing back, “Then you can go and die! I won’t care about you anymore! If I care about you again, I’m a pig!”
However, she did not wait for Tang Ze’s response. He gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Tang Ya sighed. How could there be such a stupid person?
Forget it, I won’t care about him anymore!
