Chapter 47: She’s Dead, No Big Deal
Translator: Law Editor: Hitesh_
In the base, everyone knew that Lu Tianyu was one of Yang Chao’s women, so no one dared to offend her. People would try to avoid her when they saw her, and even if they couldn’t, they wouldn’t get close to her. When Lu Tianyu went out of the base, Yang Chao would always send three superpowered people with her to keep her safe.
He wouldn’t let her die so easily.
Kong Qingming shrugged and said, “I don’t know what happened. I only know that she’s dead, and she kidnapped Wu Chengyue’s little princess before she died. That girl is still missing. That woman, I think… Something happened to her.”
Lu Tianyi raised his head to look at Kong Qingming, and asked with a calm look, “What do you mean?”
He knew that no matter how bold and reckless that woman was, she wouldn’t dare to do anything to Wu Chengyue’s daughter.
Kong Qingming said, “There’s another thing that I’ve just found out. Having kidnapped Wu Chengyue’s daughter before she died, she threatened him with his daughter. As everyone knows, she had been coveting him for long. So this time, she finally got him, but died not long after that because Lin Yong and the other two threw her into a crowd of zombie.”
“But, she didn’t bring the little prince back before she died, and Lin Yong and the other two have failed to find her. As far as I know, it seems that Yang Chao has told Lin Yong and the other two to do something. As for the truth, that depends on whether you want to find it out or not.” He looked at Lu Tianyi’s unchanging face and continued.
What Kong Qingming meant was, if Lu Tianyi wanted to figure out what exactly had happened, he would help him.
Lu Tianyi waved a hand to him and shook his head while saying “Forget it! She’s dead, no big deal. She died, but it’s none of my business. She and I have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
While speaking, he put the letter in his palm, with a breeze rising and wrapping around the letter to form a tiny tornado Being wrapped in the tiny tornado, the letter was immediately shredded into sc.r.a.ps of paper and drifting ashes.
Next, the tiny tornado rose from his palm and flew out of the window aside, dissipating along with those paper sc.r.a.ps.
Hearing him, Kong Qingming nodded and said, “Alright, it’s up to you. I’ll leave then.”
While speaking, he turned and walked to the door, then opened it and left.
After watching him shut the door, Lu Tianyi began to let his emotion surge slowly in his eyes.
He was shocked. He found his sister’s death kind of unacceptable, also feeling hatred and some other complicated emotions.
That woman never saw him as her brother or family, because they weren’t given birth by the same mother, and were just half-siblings. They never liked each other since they were little; they would wrangle and laugh at each other every time they met. Behind his back, she had framed and humiliated him in all kinds of ways; he had been enduring all this because she was his sister and he couldn’t do anything to her.
That woman did not care about him, neither did she ever try to find him after the apocalyptic era began. Instead, she ignored him and ran away with someone powerful.
Back then, he was having a serious fever. If Kong Qingming hadn’t made it to him in time, he might have been eaten by zombies before his superpower was activated.
Since then, Lu Tianyi’s dislike of his sister had turned into hatred. However, deep down, he still had a trace of expectation, as he hoped that she could treat him like a family. After all, she was the only family he had left, the rest having died after the apocalyptic era began.
Later on, the two of them met each other in the base, yet she pretended not to know him. Relying on that man, she had done all manners of evils, and had ridden roughshod over all the others in the base.
In fact, no one in the base knew about his relations.h.i.+p with Lu Tianyu except Kong Qingming.
Every time he saw her bully, rob, and insult the others, he would remain silent and turn a blind eye, only minding his own business. Anyway, she never talked to him either.
Lu Tianyi knew that he had a conflicting att.i.tude. He detested her, even hated her, but he could never ignore any news about her. He watched her bully the others, yet she never looked him in the eye; he wanted to get close to her, but couldn’t live with what she did. However, even though he couldn’t accept her behavior, he always stealthily cleaned up her mess behind her back.
But now, she was actually dead. His only family in this post-apocalyptic world had died.
He always knew that she would suffer the consequences one day and become the victim of her own evil deeds, but when this day really came, he couldn’t accept it fully.
He had been silently dealing with the aftermath of what she had done because he didn’t want her to be taken revenge against by others. He saw that Yang Chao did dote on her, letting her do whatever she wanted as he fixed all her problems. So, he felt that she would at least be safe by staying around that man.
But, since she cast her eyes on another leader of the base, Lu Tianyi began worrying about her. That was the reason why he asked Kong Qingming to keep an eye on her moves.
However, she died anyway, and she died in the hands of the man she trusted.
Earlier on, Kong Qingming had indeed mentioned to him that Yang Chao had lost his interest in his sister.
Lu Tianyi stood up behind his desk and walked to the window. As he raised his head to look at the dark sky of this post-apocalyptic world, he suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart.
After looking at the sky for a while, he abruptly turned around and put on the blazer which was draped around his shoulders, then walked toward the door. Once he opened the door, he saw a man leaning against the wall by the door, eyes closed and head lowered, seeming to be drowsy.
Lu Tianyu paused briefly, then said with a bland tone, “Didn’t you say that you’ll leave?”
Kong Qingming opened his eyes and looked at Lu Tianyi absently. After pausing for a second, he seemed to understand Lu Tianyi’s meaning finally, then responded, “I said I’m out, not that I’m leaving.”
Lu Tianyi sighed, but said no more as he turned and walked toward the outside.
Kong Qingming caught up and asked, “If you’re going out of the base, why don’t you ask me to go with you? I haven’t been out for a long time.”
While speaking, he raised a hand and patted his yawning mouth.
Lu Tianyi didn’t say anything, just walking down the stairs without pausing.
They weren’t inseparable, but they would always go out of the base together. No matter which one of them wanted to go, the other would follow.
In the base, some other people thought that they were a couple. The others could accept them being together as both of them were good-looking, even though neither of them had an interest in men.
In this post-apocalyptic world, pretty men with white skin and slim body shapes were quite popular, as the number of women had decreased sharply. For this reason, some people called the post-apocalyptic era ‘an era of being gay’!
Sadly, these two men who seemed to be suitable for being gay in the others’ eyes, only liked women’s bodies, and had absolutely no interest in men!
A lot of men had their eyes on them, but none of those was stronger than them. Otherwise, male rape, as one of the most common events in the post-apocalyptic era, would have happened to them as well.
Similar incidents did happen, but the results… weren’t the same as some people had expected.
In the end, those men were either cut into skeletons by Lu Tianyi or thrown out of the base with broken limbs to feed zombies by Kong Qingming.
