Chapter 584: Reunion
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Song Helu felt surprised and happy. After doomsday, she had become more accustomed to losing things than getting pleasant surprises. It was almost like a dream to be reunited with someone you knew under such circ.u.mstances.
Song Helu pulled Jiang Zhuying excitedly and said with red eyes, “Zhuying! Where have you been since the end of the world? I hadn’t seen you at school, and I was heartbroken. I thought you were-”
In the early days of doomsday, many people had become zombies. Unable to find Jiang Zhuying, Song Helu had believed that she had become a zombie.
“At that time, I was also worried about you. But there were too many zombies in our school, and I was too weak to fight against them. That’s why I didn’t come back to find you,” explained Jiang Zhuying.
“Well, how about other cla.s.smates? Is anyone else here?” asked Jiang Zhuying urgently.
Before doomsday, both girls were members of a club, and they often took part in club activities together. Girls with similar interests quickly became close friends. Song Helu was actually Jiang Zhuying’s senior sister. It was Song Helu, who had invited Jiang Zhuying to join the club. During that period of time, Jiang Zhuying would always ask Song Helu for help. When Song Helu got to know that Zhuying’s parents had died early, she had recommended Jiang Zhuying to apply for a grant, which she got.
In fact, back then Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had forced himself to borrow money from his relatives for her tuition fees. At that time, Jiang Zhuying had told her brother about how Song Helu had helped her. Thus, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was quite impressed by Song Helu.
“There are no others from our club…” said Song Helu sadly. Then, she thought of something, and her mood plummeted. “It’s a pity that Gan Wei didn’t have the chance to meet you…If she could see you, she would have been very happy.”
Hearing the familiar name and Song Helu’s tone, Jiang Zhuying asked, “Was Gan Wei here before?”
“Yes. As you know, Gan Wei was a little bit weak. She was born in a pretty rich family and had never suffered before doomsday. Unfortunately, she could not adapt to this new world. She could not sleep well nor eat good food. Soon, she fell ill. Finally, she ended her life,” explained Song Helu and tears rolled down her eyes.
It was indeed a pity. It would be great if Gan Wei was also there. If so, then, the three girls could have reunited. However, they were unfortunate.
Upon hearing about her friend’s fate, Jiang Zhuying could not hold her tears back and started to cry too. She took a closer look at Song Helu and found that her senior sister was also affected severely by the brutal change in the world. Her once perfect skin was gone, and even her silky hair had become dry…
“Oh, you are Zhuying’s senior sister. Nice to meet you. I have heard about you. I’m really thankful about what you did for my sister. As Zhuying’s elder brother, let me thank you,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
“You’re welcome. I was Zhuying’s senior sister, so it was my duty to take care of her,” said Song Helu.
“Xiyu, please tell Ying to bring 10 kg of meat and a bag of rice,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
He was a man, who always could distinguish the good from the bad. After ransacking Luo Jiafeng’s warehouse, such resources were nothing for Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
“No problem,” replied Ran Xiyu.
“10 kg?… Oh, it’s too much,” said Song Helu.
At that moment, Ying entered, carrying two bags. She walked in and placed the two bags on the ground.
“You don’t need to refuse. Open them,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
Jiang Zhuying grabbed Song Helu’s arm and smiled happily. “He Lu, accept them!” Then, Jiang Zhuying helped to open the two bags.
Immediately, a full bag of meat appeared in front of them. The quality of the meat was superb, its texture tender and it let out a sweet aroma. After being cooked, it should be very delicious.
All the survivors were shocked after seeing the meat. The bag contained, at least, 10 kg of meat! All the survivors in the room felt as if they were in a dream.
“Ah…this is so…I…” Song Helu did not know what to say.
Her father had intended to go out and risk his life to get food for them. But he was still unable to do so. However, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could bring out such a quant.i.ty of meat just to thank a girl that had helped his sister.
“Don’t worry! You should accept my gifts,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+. It was a trifling matter for him and his team.
“Zhuying and Zhuying’s brother thank you a lot. I really don’t know what to say…Thank you very much,” said Song Helu, choking up with tears of joy. Of course, she couldn’t reject those gifts as they would ensure their survivability.
“Can I share them with the other members?” asked Song Helu nervously.
“Of course. I have gifted them to you, so it’s totally up to you what to do with them now,” replied Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
“Thank you,” said Song Helu happily. Her father and the other survivors also bowed to thank them. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ gifted them those things because Song Helu had helped his sister in times of need. Therefore, the others would not dare to touch those two bags if Jiang Lius.h.i.+ disagreed.
“Well, let’s talk now about what I asked you earlier,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ to Song Helu’s father.
As for Jiang Zhuying and Song Helu, they wanted to talk more and share their experiences.
“Captain Jiang, what do you want to know? I will tell you everything,” said He Lu’s father. It was the only way he could repay Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s benevolence.
“I want to know about Shen Hai,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
“Shen Hai?” The middle-aged man was stunned.
“Yes, I’d like to know about them as I want to buy some diesel from them,” replied Jiang Lius.h.i.+ with a smile.
