Chapter 360 (1/2)

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 her 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 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 gla.s.sy eyes. Then he looked at the cold body on the ground. There was a hole in its body caused by a red-sh.e.l.led 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 ex-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 gla.s.sy 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. “Old 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 f.u.c.kers from the government even want to take away the food that 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 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 Master Insect is Chu Clan’s master’s relative.”

Her laugh made Chu Yunsheng feel uncomfortable. Why would 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 away. 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 sh.e.l.ls were heavily broken, and there was even a hole in its stomach.

The man and the woman were running as fast as they could while shouting for help. However, as if G.o.d was making fun of them, three more infested humans dug out of the ground in front of them. They got scared and sat down on the ground instantly.

Chu Yunsheng stood in front of the first infested human, and didn’t move. He couldn’t understand their language anymore. The man, the woman, and the kid were forced to crawl back to Chu Yunsheng again.
