Chapter 27

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Jiang Huan’s eyes filled with tears in an instant, crying and howling over there, “No… Zombies have no intelligence, they are not like you at all…”

“Fuck, be quiet!”

The child choked with fright, burst into tears, sobbed for a long time and asked tentatively, “Brother, it looks like radiation sickness, right? Also, I, I will be obedient!”

Shen Shanwu said impatiently, “I am a zombie, and I don’t want to raise children. It’s just easy to save you. Don’t rely on me by pleading. Tomorrow you have to get out of here. If you refuse to leave, I will leave you here.”

“Brother, brother, please, I have nowhere to go, really…”

—

“Brother Shanwu, brother…”

Nearly seven years have passed since the kidnapping incident in the fourth year of the end of the world. Now, Jiang Huan could only toss and turn restlessly in his dreams, calling the name he misses most and longs for most, “Brother, Brother Shanwu… Don’t go… Don’t leave me…”

The murmur was full of pain, depression, humility and prayer that reduced dignity to dust.

Shen Shanwu slowly opened his eyes, the bottom of his eyes was clear, without a trace of fatigue. Jiang Huan has a habit of talking in his sleep when he is not sleeping steadily. He couldn’t be clearer about this, but the content of his sleep talk this time surprised Shen Shanwu.

Time seems to have gone back a few years ago. Xiao Jiang Huan, who was twitching, couldn’t eat enough every day. He was hungry no matter how much he fed. He was very annoyed by this. He shook his face at every turn. Jiang Huan follows him crying and crying. At first, he was trembling with fear. Later, he understood his temperament. When he was angry, he called his brother stickily, “Brother Shanwu, Brother Shanwu…”

At that time, there were no mutants to get along with humans, and Shen Shanwu didn’t know how to get along with humans. In order to obtain food and radiation protection supplies more conveniently, he generously demonstrated his abilities and traded with small human shelters and mobile black market merchants in exchange for what Jiang Huan needed.

He had personally changed Jiang Huan’s protective clothing and protective mask countless times. Jiang Huan also stuck to him tightly. As long as he was left alone for a while, he could look at him with the wet eyes of an abandoned puppy in a blink of an eye, which made Shen Shanwu suddenly feel guilty.

What did Jiang Huan dream of? Did he dream of what happened back then?

Why did Jiang Huan repeat his name over and over again with such a nostalgic tone on the tip of his tongue? If Jiang Huan still misses him and is reluctant to give up on him, then why… Why throw away everything that belongs to him?

Why throw away the gift he has carefully prepared for months? Why treat his heart so cruelly?

From the Heping Area of Sichuan and Tibet to the eastern coastal base, Shen Shanwu collected all the novel and interesting things he had seen in the 4,000 kilometers, disinfected them carefully, and spent a lot of money on radiation-proof glass bottles. The rest was wrapped in one package after another.

He gave all this to Jiang Huan as a birthday gift, hoping that he could also see the humanistic scenery he had seen and encountered.

But just a few months later, Shen Shanwu saw his big box full of goods at the radiation waste station of the coastal base. The outside was marked with a steel seal of severe radiation hazardous waste, and the inside was not even unopened. He wrote a letter of tens of thousands of words, and it lay quietly inside.

Thinking of the time when he wrote these neat pen characters little by little against the moonlight, that kind of hot obsession seemed very ridiculous. Shen Shanwu had enthusiastically imagined that Jiang Huan might be amazed by the content after receiving the letter, and might beg him to take him with him in the future.

He had imagined a lot, but he never thought that the recipient didn’t even have the ability to open it.

At that time, Shen Shanwu suddenly discovered that he hadn’t seen Jiang Huan for more than a year. Since Jiang Huan was recognized by his grandfather and returned to the human gathering area, Shen Shanwu had very few opportunities to see him.

At first, Shen Shanwu would come almost every month. Because of the identity of the mutant, it was very cumbersome for the two to meet. Shen Shanwu changed it to once every three months. Later, Jiang Huan was always busy, and the letters he handed over were always stuck, without a reply of half a word.

He was not stupid. He didn’t know that Jiang Huan couldn’t be so busy that he didn’t even have time to reply to the letter, but at that time Shen Shanwu didn’t know where his confidence came from. He felt that Jiang Huan would always be the child who admired him and would always eagerly look forward to his appearance. His eyes were full of dependence, and his over-inflated self-confidence made him ignore all these details.

When all illusory illusions were completely torn apart at the abandoned station, and the ugliest truth inside was drenched in blood, Shen Shanwu felt so painful that he could hardly breathe.

If Shen Shanwu’s heart was full of murderous intent and coldness for He Jingyang’s betrayal, then for Jiang Huan’s unfeeling love, Shen Shanwu had only disappointment and the idea of escaping.

He could only deceive himself, thinking that maybe there was a misunderstanding in the middle, maybe there was a reason for the incident, but he could no longer take the initiative to look for Jiang Huan in the coastal base. Maybe after a long time, there will be news that Jiang Huan is inquiring about his whereabouts from other mutants?

Shen Shanwu looked forward to it like this. He had been looking forward to it for many years, until he had forgotten about it… When he stood in front of Jiang Huan again, Shen Shanwu found that he couldn’t even mention the idea of being angry with Jiang Huan, only a faint trace of melancholy lingered in his heart, and he sighed, “Little guy, it’s been a long time since I saw you.”

The dream gradually came to an end, Jiang Huan’s eyelashes trembled, a sign of waking up, Shen Shanwu hurriedly closed his eyes and fell asleep, even thinking about whether to make a few contrived snores.

In addition to Jiang Huan’s messy breathing, Shen Shanwu also heard another voice. Someone opened the zipper of the sleeping bag and got up on tiptoe.

The lieutenant noticed the movement of this person and shook the light. The two seemed to have a silent exchange, and there was only the sound of clothes rubbing in the air.

Shen Shanwu only regarded it as someone in the team who got up at night and went to the toilet. He didn’t care too much. He patronized Jiang Huan who pretended to be asleep to deal with waking up in the middle of the night, but after that person crawled out of the sleeping bag, he slowly walked closer and closer in the direction of Jiang Huan and Shen Shanwu, and finally even stopped directly next to the sleeping bags of the two of them.

Shen Shanwu was plunged into a fierce psychological struggle in his heart. Whether he wanted to wake up or not, and how should he wake up, should his fingers tremble slightly, whine, or suddenly open his eyes and frown?

“Captain Jiang Huan…” The visitor squatted down, as if trying to point their fingers at the sleeping bag, but before that, Jiang Huan carefully and softly opened the zipper, and asked with displeased eyes what this woman named Xu Honglin wanted to do.

Shen Shanwu felt that he could wake up, so he pretended to be awakened and half-opened his eyes. He rubbed his eyes bleary-eyed in Jiang Huan’s arms. Jiang Huan lowered his eyes and stroked his back, and said softly, “It’s still early, go back to sleep.

After speaking, Jiang Huan raised his eyes to look at the lieutenant on duty. The other party sat upright from his sleeping bag with a confused expression. The two of them looked at Xu Honglin again. Under the dim night light, the woman knelt down softly and lifted the long hair in front of her shoulders behind her ears. She wanted to attach to Jiang Huan’s ear to speak, but the other party pushed her away in disgust.

Xu Honglin was not discouraged either, and said angrily, “Captain Jiang, people have something on their minds and can’t sleep… Can’t they talk to others?”

“…”

Shen Shanwu couldn’t help but open his eyes again. This time, his eyes stared like copper bells, and his ears for listening to gossip stood up like antennas. During the day, he was still curious about Jiang Huan’s love history, and at night, the peach blossom luck came by itself.

Jiang Huan frowned in disgust and said coldly, “Respect yourself.”

“Captain Jiang~” The woman who dared to make a night attack was really thick-skinned, probably adhering to the concept of how a man can not cheat. Her captain’s call was really three-tone, “Captain Jiang, people have admired you for a long time, and I have heard of your name a long time ago. You were really handsome when I saw you today. People are really in love with you when they see you. Can you stop being so cold to others…”

Shen Shanwu grabbed Jiang Huan’s collar and had goosebumps all over his body. He thought Jiang Huan would never like this one, but after waiting for a long time, he never heard the voice of rejection.

No way… Shen Shanwu raised his head in horror, but saw that Jiang Huan’s expression was very wrong. It was a look of nausea and fear mixed together. He couldn’t help but stand up in Jiang Huan’s arms, “Captain…?”

Jiang Huan finally reacted to this call. He covered his mouth and retched, and pushed Shen Shanwu away with difficulty. As soon as he stood up, he lowered his head in pain and retched.

The lieutenant hurriedly ran over to help Jiang Huan, while Xu Honglin’s face on the side suddenly turned extremely pale. Jiang Huan’s performance was more cruel than any rejection.

‘Don’t,” and “Go away,” could be forcibly interpreted as wanting to refuse to entice, tsundere, and upright, but the sound of retching many times… has and can only have one meaning: You made me so sick that I vomited.

There was too much noise here, and the rest of the Shanhai Team opened their sleeping bags one after another and sat up. It was obviously not the first time Jiang Huan had this retching behavior. Everyone glanced over and understood the beginning and end of the matter. Wu Fengge and Zhong Yin directly rolled up their own and Xu Honglin’s sleeping bags with flat faces, forcibly pulling Xu Honglin outside to sleep in a different area.

Xu Honglin struggled angrily and refused to leave, “What are you doing? I’m sleepy. I’m going back to sleep. It’s not safe outside. Can you promise that I could sleep until dawn?”

“The captain wants to vomit when he sees you now, so I advise you to know yourself better.” Zhong Yin pulled up Xu Honglin’s arm and violently escorted the person away without mercy.

Zhang Xiaowen took the towel and water, carefully handed it to the deputy team, and then handed it to Jiang Huan. Shen Shanwu took advantage of this opportunity and ran to Yao Wuque’s side and asked, “What’s the situation?”

Yao Wuque looked left and right, sighed and leaned into Shen Shanwu’s ear and said, “This is the reason why you won’t have an adoptive mother, Ah Tong. The captain is mentally ill. We named his mental illness: Affection Rejection syndrome.”

“Huh?”

“The captain hates that someone likes him, admires him or something. When he hears someone confessing to him, he feels sick and wants to vomit. It’s not an exaggeration, it’s really vomiting.”

“…Huh??” Shen Shanwu looked dumbfounded, why didn’t he know that Jiang Huan still had this kind of problem? When I followed him back then, there was no problem. Why did four years pass and he was sick everywhere?

“Zhong Yin has a sister named Zhong Yun, who has a sweet voice and big breasts… The most important thing is her strong ability. She was originally ranked first and should have entered the Shanhai team. As a result, on the day of admission, the girl couldn’t wait to confess her feelings. She said she liked the captain for a long time. She hopes the captain can consider her, and it doesn’t matter if he rejects her, she will still be in unrequited love silently, and will never delay his work.”

“As a result, the captain didn’t finish listening to what she said, he lost his temper on the spot, ran into the toilet and threw up directly.”

Shen Shanwu could imagine the embarrassment of the scene at that time, and the girl was in a good frame of mind if she didn’t cry blindly at the beginning.

“Later, when the captain saw Zhong Yun, he couldn’t stop his disgust. It was impossible for the team to change the captain, right? So he replaced Zhong Yun with Zhong Yin, who ranked second in the overall score. The captain felt that he couldn’t help her, so he personally contacted the second-ranked team on the coast and sent Zhong Yun there. Of course, I seriously suspect that there is also a factor in the fact that the office of the second team is particularly far away from the administrative office of our team.”

“Also, after the psychological problem of the captain spread out, there was a man who didn’t know how his brain circuit grew. He felt that if he couldn’t be a lover, he could be a sex friend. He went to bed with obscenity and didn’t say that love was really fragrant in the end. The bloody plot, I climbed into the captain’s bed in the middle of the night…”

Shen Shanwu, “…I seem to be able to imagine the ending.”

“The captain stepped on his feet and broke three of his ribs directly. Of course, later, our Shanhai Team paid for medical expenses, and severely punished the guards who trespassed into the private mansion and let him in.”

”…” Shen Shanwu clenched his fist with one hand, held it under his lips, and thought, “Why don’t you take the captain to see a psychiatrist? Don’t tell me that there is not even a psychiatrist in the huge coastal base?”

“The captain refused.” Yao Wuque sighed again, “He said he knew the cause of his mental disease very well, and he didn’t want to treat it, so let it go.”

“…Huh??” Shen Shanwu showed an incredible expression for the third time. Today was really another day for children having a lot of question marks…

Yao Wuque finished his info sharing, and Jiang Huan’s tossing was almost over. Shen Shanwu hurriedly kicked his shoes and ran back. Jiang Huan looked sick, but when he saw Jiang Tong who was looking at him with concern, he forced his hand and gently rubbed his hair, “Are you scared?”

The author has something to say:

Let me sort out the timeline again：

The first year of the end of the world, Shen Shanwu, freshman, 19 years old. In the third year of the end of the world, Shen Shanwu suffered betrayal. In the second half of the fourth year of the end of the world, the two met. At this time, Shen Shanwu was 23 years old and Jiang Huan was 13 years old. (The clerical error in the previous chapter has been corrected) In the fifth year of the end of the world, there was a tragedy in Shenghe Hospital, so it was not Shen Shanwu who suffered. He was already very miserable. He couldn’t run into all the tragedies in the world. In the eleventh year of the end of the world, Shen Shanwu is 31 years old, and Jiang Huan is 21 years old.
