It took Xia Min a while to calm himself down from such a strong emotional wave. Finally he had the opportunity to think something else.
Perhaps he should consider doing something else, for his sister"s sake, and so that they might have a better life together.
"Brother, there is a supermarket over there. We can go get some supplies." Xia Liang said as she let go of Xia Min"s hand after she sensed that Xia Min"s mood suddenly got better, pointing a place before them.
It was an open supermarket, not a big one, but big enough to get some food from.
Xia Min looked over and gave it a thought of safety and possibility, then agreed.
In fact, Xia Min had a feeling that he would give her a star in the sky if she asked.
"Captain Sun, please stop the car." Xia Min stood up and said.
"But..." Captain Sun, trying to refuse by instinct but asked," what are you doing? We have no time to lose."
"Do you think there"s anyone alive in this city except us?" Xia Min looked at the group with sharp eyes. What he said mortified everyone. Their faces became pale.
"Don"t be ridiculous!" Shao Qingqing stood up abruptly and growled, "how is it possible there is no one in the cit? They must be hiding at home. That"s why we don"t see them!"
Xia Min glanced at her but didn"t shout back. Instead, she said calmly, "those who are hiding at home are not human anymore!"
With just a simple fact, everyone in the group lost the one last hope. The only brightness in their eyes was gone completely.
Half an hour had pa.s.sed since they had entered the city, and what they had seen tolerated them deep down, also ruined the last hope for them.
Rather than accepting it as a fact, they chose to fool themselves. When Xia Min pointed it out, the brutal truth that they had no courage to face was spoken aloud.
They hated the truth but they had to accept it!
"Boohoo..."
"Boohoo... Why? How did this happen?...Boohoo... "
People cried and sobbed here and there in the car.
Bang! Captain Sun punched at the steering wheel hard. Gritting his teeth, he stood up and said, "Maybe what Xia Min said is true! We are probably the last living humans in S city!"
"What we have to do now is not to cry, or show weakness, or abuse each other. Instead, we need to unite and work together to survive and get out of here! I don"t believe there are no living people in whole China except us! As long as we live, sooner or later we"ll know the truth and meet our friends and families!"
"Let"s pull together and live together, shall we?" Captain Sun asked, taking a deep breath.
They stopped sobbing. Shao Qingqing and the rest of the group were encouraged by Captain Sun"s speech. Once again, they were driven to fight to live.
A few crying, or trembling, or pa.s.sionate yeses echoed in the car.
However, the next moment,
"Pah… "
A sneer of sarcasm ruined the pa.s.sion just built-up.
Captain Sun had a long face as he saw who made that noise.
The others, all turning their heads, saw that it was Dong Jun who had made the jeer.
A person who, of course, would be such a b.u.mmer.
