9 min read2,272 words
Li Su carried her daughter on the sling, ready to go out to buy things. She didn’t worry about anyone now. She had to take her daughter with her.
“Why are you taking Yao’er with you when you’re buying food? Let mother watch her at home. By the way, buy some breakfast on the way home. Aren’t you tired of having soy bean congee every day? Buy me another pack of cigarettes,” a man in big pants said impatiently.
Li Su reached out to him. “I have no money!”
“Money, money, money. You only know how to ask for money! Do you know how hard it is for me to make money? You just eat and drink at home, raise a child, and quarrel with my mother all day!” He took out one hundred yuan and threw it to Li Su.
Li Su took a few deep breaths and endured it. In a few days, it would be the end of the world. She was busy collecting supplies and didn’t have time to care about that bastard.
Li Su grabbed the one hundred yuan, turned around, and walked out the door. Money was not a problem. She still had several boxes of banknotes in her space. The important thing was supplies, like rice and oil, which needed to be bought. She needed to purchase more cooked food that could be eaten immediately, such as cakes, cookies, instant noodles, rice balls, and other things. Her space had a fresh-keeping function, so she could buy more and keep it for emergencies.
There were many things she needed to buy, such as clothes, shoes, milk powder, towels, and whatnot. And most importantly, weapons. The original owner was not an abilities user. Fortunately, she had a powerful plug-in which would come in handy here. She only hated that she didn’t have enough time to prepare. She couldn’t buy things systematically and could only buy what she thought of. She would reorganise the space at night.
Fortunately, the original owner’s husband, Wang Dahai, did everything from eating, drinking, getting prostitutes, and gambling, so he was basically not at home at night. This also gave Li Su some space and freedom.
Speaking of which, the original owner and Wang Dahai also had a bad relationship. The original owner, Li Su, was beautiful and smart. She was a college student, but Wang Dahai was a street gangster. The reason why the two got married was very simple. It was because Wang Dahai raped her. Li Su’s family felt ashamed. Wang Dahai’s family took out 100,000 yuan, saying it was a betrothal gift. Li Su’s older brother was just talking about marriage, and he was short of 100,000 yuan for the dowry. So, he took the 100,000 yuan and married Li Su to Wang Dahai.
Li Su resisted, tried to escape, and failed. In the end, she was bound and sent to the Wang family.
Wang Dahai beat her three times a day. Later, Li Su became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter. Li Su was finally beaten down by life and accepted her fate.
Although Wang Dahai engaged in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, which were all vices, he was not bad to Li Su because she was beautiful. But, Wang Dahai’s mother hated Li Su a lot. When they gave the Li family 100,000 yuan, she was reluctant to give the money to the Li family. If it wasn’t for the fear that the Li family would call the police, and that her son would be imprisoned, she didn’t want to give the money over. As a result, after Li Su was married into their family, she was unhappy every day. What was worse was that Li Su gave birth to a girl! After that, Li Su couldn’t get pregnant.
What was the use of raising chickens that couldn’t lay eggs?!
They lived their days without any hassle. Nobody expected that a sudden change would occur and the end of the world would suddenly arrive. The climate changed suddenly and the streets were full of zombies.
Wang Dahai came back from the outside, he suddenly fell into a coma. The original owner was busy taking care of Wang Dahai, but when she finally paid attention to her surroundings, she found that her daughter was gone. As soon as she asked, she learned that Wang Dahai’s mother had gone to buy vegetables with her daughter. She encountered a zombie not long after walking. Mrs. Wang ended up throwing her daughter into the zombie pile and ran back by herself.
When Li Su heard the news of her daughter’s death, she was in despair, and wanted to die with Mrs. Wang. She didn’t expect that Wang Dahai would suddenly wake up at this time and awaken with an ability. Although it was a relatively tasteless wood-type ability, he was also an ability user. He just woke up and saw his wife and his mother fighting and instinctively knocked Li Su to the ground.
Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to file a complaint. After Wang Dahai learned the whole story, he knew that Li Su had been wronged, but he only said lightly, “If she’s dead, then she’s dead. Let’s make another one. She is my mother after all. You have to respect her!”
Li Su, however, only wanted to avenge her daughter and demanded that Mrs. Wang pay her debts in blood. Li Su turned a deaf ear to Wang Dahai’s words. She had long been desperate to do something to this mother and son. Her life was ruined by them, and now even her own daughter had died! Her daughter had only been three years old. She was adorable and called her mother softly. Her daughter had put her arm around her when she slept! The old lady’s heart was too cruel!
Wang Dahai was also a little unhappy when he saw that Li Su didn’t listen to his words and was only chasing and beating his own mother like crazy. Mrs. Wang said angrily, “Dahai, are you just going to watch your wife bully your mother?! Are all the women out there dying? Why did you insist on her?!”
These words reminded Wang Dahai that he had seen some apocalypse movies and knew what the apocalypse was like. Nowadays, fists were the last words and capable people could do whatever they wanted! He looked at Li Su. Although her facial features were still beautiful, her skin was rough and her figure was out of shape. Besides, she looked lifeless all day long, and he didn’t know anything about her, so he hated her.
He was an ability user now, so why was he worried that he couldn’t find a woman?!
Mrs. Wang deserved to be the person who knew her son the most. Seeing him like this, she could tell that he was moved, so she quickly said, “Dahai, you are such a capable person now. What kind of woman do you want? Get rid of her immediately!”
Wang Dahai lifted Li Su, opened the door, and threw her out. While the zombies were biting Li Su, Wang Dahai ran out with Mrs. Wang, got into the car, and drove away.
They left Li Su to be torn to pieces by zombies. When she was dying, she shed tears. It turned out that Yao’er was in such pain when she was dying!
In fact, in this apocalypse, Wang Dahai was not a leading role at all. He was just a stumbling block on the way for the male lead to conquer the world and all kinds of women. He was killed by the male lead within a few minutes of his appearance. The male lead learned that Wang Dahai had abandoned his wife and daughter. Afterwards, he was very angry. He claimed to be a person who respected women very much, and was very uncomfortable with Wang Dahai’s behaviour. He threw Wang Dahai, who had become a cripple, into the pile of zombies and let him experience the pain that his wife and daughter experienced before they died.
Mrs. Wang, who followed Wang Dahai to make a fortune, oppressed ordinary people. After Wang Dahai died, she was quickly punished and eaten by zombies.
Now that Li Su was here, naturally she would not repeat the tragedy of the original owner.
Li Su stood in front of the maternity and baby shop. After seeing the billboard at the door, she quickly walked in.
Over there, Wang Dahai waited for a long time, but could not see Li Su coming back. He was so hungry that he had to eat soy bean congee.
Mrs. Wang walked in, cursing. “Where’s that little slut? She didn’t wash the clothes, and she didn’t clean up the house. Where did she go so early in the morning?”
Wang Dahai said angrily, “I said she went out to buy groceries. Damn, she hasn’t come back yet!”
“Buy vegetables! Where did she get the money to buy the vegetables? Did you give her money again? I told you, that little slut is a white-eyed wolf. If you give her money, aren’t you afraid that she will take it? Then, the money would be gone!” The groceries were always bought by Mrs. Wang, not because she was distressed for her daughter-in-law, but because she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would hide the money.
“Mum, look at what you said. She just gave birth, so where can she run?!” Wang Dahai gulped down a few spoons of congee before putting the bowl down.
“Speaking of her, when will you take her to the hospital for a check-up to see what’s going on? It’s been three years, so why hasn’t she been able to conceive?! If there are any problems, leave her immediately. What’s the use of a woman who can’t give birth!” Said Mrs. Wang as she sat down beside Wang Dahai.
Wang Dahai rolled his eyes. “Got it!” But obviously, he didn’t take it to heart. He was still young and was not in a hurry to have a son. Besides, once she was pregnant, they would not be able to have sex for several months. He couldn’t handle that!
The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Wang Dahai came back drunk and kicked the door open with a bang. “Go, pour me a glass of water!” Then, he fell on the sofa. But after waiting for a long time, he was about to fall asleep, and there was no movement at all.
In the end, Mrs. Wang came out yawning, poured water for him, and gave him water to wash up. She also scolded, saying, “What’s the use of marrying a wife. When the man comes back, she should know how to serve a man. She just sleeps in!”
Mrs. Wang went to play mahjong yesterday morning and didn’t come back until after 11 at night, and Wang Dahai was not at home all of yesterday.
Wang Dahai drank the water and his mind became clearer. He was infuriated by Mrs. Wang’s words and felt that he had to teach Li Su a lesson. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know the boundaries. Then, he stood up and staggered to the room.
Mrs. Wang was ready to watch the fun.
After Wang Dahai entered, he found that there was no one in the house at all. He turned on the lights to see. There was really no one there! The quilt was still the same as it was yesterday morning.
Wang Dahai paused for a moment, then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets. The marriage certificate and the household registration book were all there, but the ID card was gone. Then, she didn’t run away? What was going on? Where did she go? Did she go back to her mother’s house?
Wang Dahai took out his cell phone. He didn’t care about what time it was now. He called Li Su’s parents, but the other party angrily said that they had never seen Li Su and her daughter.
If she didn’t go back to her mother’s house, then where did she go? Wang Dahai racked his brains, thinking about where Li Su might go back to, but he came up with nothing.
Mrs. Wang waited for a long time, but there was no movement. She thought her son was bewitched by the fox spirit again, and rushed in. However, she saw her son sitting by the bed alone. That cheap slut and the waste-of-money had disappeared!
“What’s the matter? Where are they?”
“Mum, did you see Li Su yesterday?” Wang Dahai asked.
Mrs. Wang shook her head. “Aunt Zhang called me to play mahjong yesterday morning, so I went. I didn’t come back until after eleven in the evening. When I came back, the lights were dark at home, so I went to sleep. She didn’t run away, did she?”
“Probably not. She only has 100 yuan on her. Where can she go?” Wang Dahai shook his head. “Could it be that she was kidnapped by human traffickers?” There was that possibility. Li Su was still very attractive. “Hurry up and call the police!”
“It’s too embarrassing to call the police!” Mrs. Wang said angrily. “If she has been kidnapped by human traffickers, is she still clean? What’s the use of finding a dirty woman? Let her go. In a few days, if she doesn’t come back, then go to the police and say she is missing!”
Wang Dahai frowned and did not speak.
