Chapter 503: 414 Qu Family from now on is considered finished_3

Just after leaving Lin Zhigang’s line of sight, Qu Yimin hurried forward,

“Uncle, this man is definitely lying.”

“When they came out of the Zombie Tide, I saw him with that couple, and they never searched for supplies outside.”

“Yet, their supplies were always enough.”

“I also looked inside their camper, and it didn’t look like it was stuffed with supplies, so they definitely must have a transmission ticket.”

Uncle Qu nodded, his expression solemn, and turning his head to look at Qu Yimin, he said with emotion,

“After suffering outside, your mind has become much steadier.”

Qu Yimin bowed her head, biting her lower lip. Even now, after Hu Yanxiang had been dead for so long, she was unable to free herself from the nightmares Hu Yanxiang had given her.

She gazed down at her toes, her eyes unable to meet anyone else’s, even displaying a kind of timidity, and asked in a small voice,

“Uncle, where did my brother go?”

Uncle Qu’s smile faded slightly,

“When we decided to leave, your brother reluctantly tried to prevent us from going, so we stopped relying on him and ran out of that mutant nest ourselves.”

If they hadn’t run, Uncle Qu didn’t know if he could still be alive to see the sun the next day.

He couldn’t understand why, even in such dire circumstances, Qu Shiheng acted as if bewitched, refusing to leave E City.

The other Qu Family members had no choice but to leave him and escape on their own.

Pausing, Uncle Qu seemed to feel that their actions, now spoken aloud, might seem too irresponsible.

After all, the descendants of the Qu Family now only consisted of the siblings Qu Shiheng and Qu Yimin.

Their older generation of uncles, their own children, all had perished in the apocalypse.

He feared even their old age might prove to be challenging.

Leaving Qu Shiheng behind to escape E City was a forced, reluctant choice.

Qu Yimin kept her head down, not speaking, and seeing her fearful, humble, and appeasing demeanor, Uncle Qu sighed.

He raised his hand to pat Qu Yimin’s shoulder, initially wanting to comfort the girl.

But Qu Yimin, startled like a frightened bird, fearfully curled up and even shouted,

“Uncle, don’t hit me. I’ll obey; I won’t ask about my brother’s whereabouts anymore.”

She thought Uncle Qu was about to get angry; he, however, lifted his hand, gazing with age-worn sadness at his own palm.

Finally, with a sorrowful look on his face, Uncle Qu shook his head,

“Come on, follow me back.”

The future for the Qu Family was, from then on, finished, completely finished.

Uncle Qu turned around, leading the quail-like Qu Yimin towards where the Qu Family people had camped.

Their backs looked bleak.

Meanwhile, Hua Mi, carrying her long knife, had already frantically searched the edges of this vacuum zone for Mutant Beasts.

Above her, drones buzzed to and fro, attracting a few Mutant Beasts with their noise.

Hua Mi, upon seeing any she could kill, took care of them effortlessly.

After finishing, her garbage truck would come out, collecting the corpses of the Mutant Beasts and dumping them at the garbage station to be converted to energy.

This also spared the apocalypse quite a bit of trouble.

After all, if they allowed the Mutant Beast corpses to lie on the ground and rot, the decaying bodies would contaminate the soil and lead to the mutation of plants.

Hua Mi certainly couldn’t stand idly by and let such a thing happen.

If she saw it, she would clean it up a bit, but as for how those Mutant Beast corpses she didn’t see were handled, Hua Mi didn’t know.

By the time she had made a full loop back to her camper, she was in a small alley, and just happened to meet Su Ruyan head-on.

Hua Mi glanced at Su Ruyan, intending to pass her by without bothering with this self-righteous woman.

However, Su Ruyan, seeming to look for trouble, began repeating her usual nonsense, prompting Hua Mi to say directly,

“Don’t think just because you’re a bit skillful, you can override me. I’m telling you…”

However, before Su Ruyan could finish, Hua Mi’s long knife swung, positioning its blade at Su Ruyan’s throat,

“All you ever do is whine about this and that without doing anything useful.”

“Are you going to play that burden card again?”

“Everyone is a burden, aren’t you a burden? Since you claim you’re not a burden, I’ll slash you now. See if you can escape from my hands.”

“Hasn’t your leader warned you to shut up and stop babbling?”
