1238 Are You Guys Crazy? (1/2)
When Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue arrived at Huaxia Base, Lin Wenwen was receiving the last batch of goods that she had ordered online while the Dong Family was preparing to head to Sea City. When the last batch of goods was put into her space, her space would be totally filled up. The money she used to buy all those things was borrowed from Dong Lijia. That didn't cause her any difficulties to purchase all the supplies that she wanted though.
”Are you done packing yet? Are we good to go?” Dong Lijia was able to clearly differentiate Lin Wenwen from Dong Xinxin now.
Lin Wenwen was counting the goods in her exclusive storage. The goods were in paper boxes, piling on the ground.
Dong Lijia walked over and glanced at those goods, wearing an embarrassed look. All those boxes were marked by the brands of sanitary towels. All kinds of brands could be found.
He turned to look somewhere else and said awkwardly, ”Eh-hem… We'll leave tonight. Do get ready.” After saying that, he quickly turned and left.
”Oh, I get it. Don't worry, I'll be ready before it gets dark.” Lin Wenwen was busy counting those goods, so she responded to him without thinking at first. But, as the young man ran away, she gave him a glance. After that, she turned back to find the sanitary towel brands on the boxes, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
As she finished receiving the goods and returned to Dong Family mansion, she saw Dong Lijia sitting on the couch in the living room, looking around in a daze. He seemed to be a little reluctant to leave.
Lin Wenwen stopped walking and asked him, ”Didn't you warn Deng Chenfei and Luo Yuanjun? Aren't they your best friends?”
Dong Lijia turned to her and said, ”Xinxin said that they will both survive. In the first few years after the apocalypse, their lives won't be too bad. So, she wants to find herself a strong foothold first. We will be helping them after we settle down ourselves. They won't die within two years anyway. Telling them about what will happen would cause unpredictable changes to their lives. We don't know if those changes would be good or bad. So, we decided not to do it.”
Lin Wenwen looked at him and stayed silent for a second, then said, ”Xinxin is right, but have you guys ever thought that ever since Xinxin and I came back here, your lives have been changed already. Those are the direct changes. There are also indirect changes, which might affect some other people. Everyone related to you and your family might be affected.”
The return of Lin Wenwen and Dong Xinxin had already changed the lives of everyone who was a part of Dong Xinxin's life. Their future lives might be or might not be the same as Dong Xinxin already knew.
On hearing her words, Dong Lijia stopped short, then looked at her and said with a serious look, ”What do you mean?”
Lin Wenwen looked at him and said, ”Never mind. You won't understand. Even if you're not going to find them, they'll soon find you. I've told you, their lives have already been changed because of the return of Xinxin and me. Their lives won't be the same as what had happened once.”
Earlier, Dong Xinxin mentioned that she didn't want to do anything to help the people who would survive the first apocalypse, and would let them live the original way. However, she never thought of the fact that her return had already changed the lives of the people who had made contact with her.
Dong Lijia furrowed his brows. Neither he nor Dong Xinxin had thought about what Lin Wenwen just said. They were focusing on how to keep their family safe and create a better life after the apocalypse. They paid all their attention on gathering supplies and how to face the dangerous post-apocalyptic world. They did think about their friends; Dong Xinxin believed that they would survive, because they survived last time.
