Chapter 299 – Raising A Child In An Apocalypse (part 8)

It didn’t take long before the sky got dark again.

Jiang Fang looked at the sky outside, feeling a little irritable. “Ugh! The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. During the day, we boil to death, and during the night, we freeze to death.”

Li Su had already taken out the padded jackets and down jackets from the space and let everyone put them on. “Are we looking for a place to rest, or are we continuing on our way?”

“We should find a place to rest! It’s dark and it’s not safe to drive,” Jiang Fang looked outside and said.

“But there is no shop in front of the village or in the back.” Jiang Xiaoya looked outside.

“We can just stay in the car for one night.” Jiang Fang parked the car on the side of the road and looked around. This was originally a road with trees and crops on both sides. It would not be safe to set up tents outside. They could just spend the night in the car!

Jiang Xiaoya also got out of the car to take a look. The cold wind blew and she wrapped the padded jacket around herself tightly. “It’s so cold. Hurry up and get in the car!”

“You get in the car first. I’ll make a fire, boil some hot water, and set up a tent. You can go to the tent to wash up later.” Jiang Fang touched Jiang Xiaoya’s hand, which was cold, and pushed her into the car.

Jiang Fang found a lot of firewood, made a fire, then took out a kettle from the back of the car. He filled the kettle with water and set it on the fire to boil.

Then the tent was set up again.

The few cars that followed at a distance also stopped at this time. The people in the cars all got down and set up tents around them, with a fire in the middle.

After a while, the water was hot and the tent was set up. Jiang Xiaoya, Li Su, and Wang Yao got out of the car, entered the tent, and went to wash up.

Jiang Fang tidied up the back seat of the car. He took a mattress and quilt from the space, spread it out, and turned on the heater in the car.

Jiang Xiaoya, Li Su, and Wang Yao washed up one after another, then came out of the tent. Li Su smiled and said, “We’re all done. You can go in and wash up too. I’ll make dinner. Let’s have some noodles tonight, okay?”

“Okay, okay, what kind of noodles?” Jiang Xiaoya asked with a smile.

“I still have a few packets of turkey noodles and cheese here. It’s cold today, so I can make army stew. But what about Yaoyao? Children can’t eat spicy food!” Jiang Fang said. Before the apocalypse, Jiang Fang never let Jiang Xiaoya eat things that were too spicy, like turkey noodles, but now it was too cold. It was better to eat something warm.

“It’s okay, just give her hot milk and eight-treasure porridge later.” Li Su smiled. When she saw Jiang Xiaoya’s eyes light up, she knew how much she was looking forward to it and she couldn’t let her down.

“Okay, okay!” Jiang Xiaoya smiled happily.

After Jiang Fang came out of the tent, the army stew was almost finished cooking and they gathered around the fire to eat quickly. After eating, they felt warm all over. “Get in the car when you finish eating. I’ll clean up here,” Jiang Fang said.

Li Su smiled and said, “There is hot water for you over there. Wash up with it. I have filled the hot water in the water bottle as well as a few other bottles.”

“Okay, get in the car quickly!” Jiang Fang said with a smile.

Li Su and Jiang Xiaoya waited in the car. Jiang Fang put away the tent, washed the pots and dishes, put out the fire, and then got into the car.

The people behind saw that they did not choose to set up tents outside, but got into the car. They thought about things, then quickly finished eating. They dismantled the tents and got into the car. They just didn’t put out their fire.

In the middle of the night, it so happened that Li Su was on duty at night. She was wrapped in a duvet and sat in the driver’s seat thinking, bored. Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound from outside. She quickly sat up straight and turned on the flashlight. She was about to check the situation outside when she found that a spider about the size of her face had climbed on the glass at some point.

Li Su was startled. When she looked again, the ground beside her was completely black, full of all kinds of bugs.

She quickly closed the window.

At this time, there was some noise from behind. Li Su turned to look. It seemed that those people were also attacked by these mutant insects and were fighting back.

The sound woke up Jiang Fang and Jiang Xiaoya. The two sat up. Jiang Fang was ready to open the car door to go out. Jiang Xiaoya rubbed her eyes sleepily and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Seeing that Jiang Fang was going to head out, Li Su quickly said, “Don’t, there are mutant insects outside!”

When Jiang Xiaoya heard this, she turned her head and happened to see the huge centipede on the car window. It was disgusting! She immediately went into Jiang Fang’s arms. “It’s disgusting! Why are there so many insects?!”

Jiang Fang put his arms around Jiang Xiaoya and carefully observed his surroundings.

“There seem to be a few bottles of insecticide in my space, I don’t know if it’s useful!” Li Su said suddenly.

“It’s so disgusting. I feel like throwing up.” Jiang Xiaoya was most afraid of insects in her life. She had goosebumps this time.

Li Su found a blindfold and handed it to Jiang Fang. “Put it on for her!” She wasn’t afraid of this. No matter how disgusted she was, weren’t zombies still disgusting? Zombies could be cut and so could these insects.

“The situation in the back doesn’t seem to be very good. Shall we go over and help?” Li Su asked. She observed the behavior of those people. They should be from JF.

Jiang Fang thought for a while. “I’m going to help. You stay in the car. Your safety is the most important thing. Don’t run around. Turn off the flashlight. Insects move in response to light.”

“Okay, be careful!” Li Su said.

When Jiang Xiaoya heard that Jiang Fang was going out, she was worried and scared. “A-Fang, be careful.”

Jiang Fang patted Jiang Xiaoya’s hand and quickly headed out.

JIang Xiaoya’s worry about her boyfriend outweighed her fear of bugs. She took off her blindfold and leaned on the car window to look back.

There was lightning and fire. The bugs from this side were attracted to the other side, and the bugs on the ground were crawling around. The scene was a bit intimidating.

“If there are mutant beasts, mutant birds, mutant insects, and zombies, will they evolve in the future? Older sister, what will this world be like in the future?!” Jiang Xiaoya said softly.

Li Su smiled. “Don’t worry! Human beings are so smart. No matter what difficulties they encounter, they will eventually overcome them.”

Jiang Xiaoya looked down at Wang Yao, who was sleeping in the sleeping bag. She reached out to touch her red face. “Yeah, there are things we can’t do, and same with them! The world will definitely get better and better.”

About half an hour later, the mutant insects were driven away, but Jiang Fang didn’t come back immediately. Jiang Xiaoya was a little anxious and wanted to go down to find him.

Li Su advised her to wait a little longer.

Twenty minutes later, before Jiang Xiaoya ran out of patience, Jiang Fang finally came back.

“What took you so long? I was so anxious! I thought you…” Jiang Xiaoya complained.

“It’s okay, I talked with them about cooperating . Older sister Li, how much more space do you have in your space?” Jiang Fang asked after getting into the car.

Li Su thought for a while. “There is still about four or five square meters of space!” There was still some space above the items she had. She could stack things.

“In that case, don’t use your space. Put their things in my space and we can say they are in your space.” Jiang Fang said after thinking about it.

“Who the hell are they?” Jiang Xiaoya asked.

“They are from JF of X base, and this time they came out to collect supplies. I chatted with them just now and decided to work with them. I’ll introduce you to them when it’s dawn,” Jiang Fang said. “There are two more hours until dawn, so you can sleep a little longer. I will be on duty at night.”

However, Li Su felt a little stunned. X base, JF people, and collecting supplies. In the story, Jiang Fang’s first confidante to appear on the stage, and the one Jiang Fang valued the most… It seemed that this was the background of, what’s her name, Zhao Yingnan!

Zhao Yingnan’s uncle was the leader of X base, and she was also very capable. She was a lightning-type ability user who acted decisively, was smart and alert, had a deep affection for Jiang Fang, and was loyal. Among the many beauties who Jiang Fang had, she was the most valued and trusted one. Jiang Fang established a base in the future and Zhao Yingnan was also one of the leaders.

Li Su immediately became vigilant. “There’s no need. I’ll be on duty at night. You still have to drive. Hurry up and rest!”

No matter how smart and powerful this woman was, she still liked Xiaoya, the little fairy! Therefore, she would not let Jiang Fang and Zhao Yingnan come into contact with each other alone and she would not let them have the opportunity to develop their relationship!

Jiang Fang wanted to refuse, but Li Su insisted on doing so. Jiang Fang had to lie down again with Jiang Xiaoya.

At dawn the next day, everyone got out of the car to wash up. Wang Yao hummed and brushed her teeth and washed her face at Li Su’s request. Li Su helped her tie her hair up into pigtails. Over there, Jiang Xiaoya had just washed her face and was wiping off her lotion. Jiang Fang stood in front of her with a mirror held up to her.

When Zhao Yingnan brought people over, she happened to see this scene. She frowned suddenly. Whether it was before the apocalypse or now, she didn’t like these types of pretentious women. What she didn’t understand was why a person as capable as Jiang Fang had to be humble in front of a woman!

Jiang Fang looked like a sweetheart. There was no trace of the ruthless and capable person who eliminated the mutant insects last night.

It was Jiang Xiaoya who saw Zhao Yingnan and her group. She then motioned to Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang turned his head away. “You guys wait here for a while!” Then Jiang Xiaoya’s hand wiped the lotion off. “You should also apply some skin care products. There’s no need to look as beautiful as a flower, but you have become rough man! If that’s the case, then I’ll like someone else!”

When Zhao Yingnan heard this, her brows furrowed. She was very sure that such a shallow woman was not worthy of Jiang Fang!

Jiang Fang bowed his head very cooperatively, letting Jiang Xiaoya smear skin care products all over his face. Every time he was too lazy to take care of his skin, Jiang Xiaoya would say this. Jiang Fang knew that even if he really became a rough man, Xiaoya would not leave him.

When he first met Xiaoya, Xiaoya was a flower, but he was a poor boy who depended on student loans for tuition and work-study for living expenses. Xiaoya had never despised him. Xiaoya ate with him in the cafeteria for three years. When he was working by himself, Xiaoya waited outside for him to get off work, rain or shine.

Such a beautiful Xiaoya deserved the best in this world! Jiang Fang looked at Jiang Xiaoya tenderly and his eyes could no longer contain others.

Li Su watched from the side and suddenly felt relieved. But, she looked at Zhao Yingnan again and sighed. No matter how strong the relationship was, there was still someone who wanted to intervene! She still couldn’t take this lightly!
