Apocalyptic Paradise

Chapter 32

"It's okay, it'll be fine." Chen Zhuxia patted Yuan Dingfang's back softly to comfort him.

Yuan Dingfang only woke up for a while, then fell asleep again.His body started to feel hot again.Chen Zhuxia kept cooling him down with cold water.

"Zhu Xia——" Yuan Dingfang would call her name as soon as he woke up, and then fell into a coma again after waking up for a moment.

Qi Ping'an and Xiao Yun tended the wasteland they had reclaimed.The two of them refused to sit still for a moment.Do as much work as possible for her.

Chen Zhuxia sometimes went hunting in the outskirts of the jungle, hunting rabbits and pheasants.Recently, for some unknown reason, the number of animals near Tianshan Mountain has inexplicably increased.Their food has also been enriched.

Yuan Dingfang fell into a coma for about five or six days, and his body began to change again. When Chen Zhuxia was scrubbing his body, he inadvertently felt that the flesh on his body became much harder.In fact, his body was hard to the touch before, and that was due to frequent training.But the hardness at the moment is different from ordinary ones, as hard as steel.Knock up and clang.When Chen Zhuxia found out for the first time, she was shocked. Later, she observed him nervously for a long time, and she felt relieved when she saw that his breathing and expression were the same as before.

There were more and more animals in the jungle around them, which made Chen Zhuxia feel uneasy.When she was uneasy, she still liked to touch that ancient book, but since that time, this book has never shown any visions.

Chen Zhuxia still habitually stores food as before.Dried meat, dried vegetables, and the portion reserved for the four of them to eat were all stored in the space. Qi Ping's mother and daughter obeyed her and just worked silently every day without asking anything.

Chen Zhuxia looked at Qi Ping'an, who was much fatter than before, but the sadness between his brows did not decrease much.When she was not working, she relentlessly trained Xiaoyun to practice stabbing, running, and standing.What strange methods are used.Xiaoyun was tortured to the point of unspeakable misery.What Qi Pingan said the most was: "You must be as good as your Aunt Chen, or you will become a burden to others, or you will be bullied, who calls you a woman?" Qi Pingan said Suddenly crying hysterically.

Chen Zhuxia couldn't stand her chaotic training, so she gave Xiaoyun some pointers when she had time.

It was mid-April, and thanks to the savings and careful management of the three, their food was basically enough.But what is worrying is that Yuan Dingfang is not well.What's more, the animals around them are gradually increasing.In the past, there were large beasts in the depths of the jungle, but now they have begun to appear in the periphery.There are many that Chen Zhuxia has never seen before.She thought strangely at the time, could it be that the animals also knew it was safe here, so they came to take refuge?Thinking about it this way, I think it is really possible. The intuition of animals has always been more accurate than that of humans. For example, when an earthquake occurs, animals such as mice, snakes, and frogs will respond in advance.Before the Great Flood, ants would also move their homes to higher places.

But will the animals attack them?Is it not safe for them to live here?Like their small brick house, it can't stop any animal's attack at all.

When Chen Zhuxia was looking for food, he discussed with Qi Pingan to strengthen the security of the house.Together, the three of them toppled the houses next to them with great effort, moved the bricks over and mixed them with mud and built a yard hastily.Another circle of traps was dug around the yard.This project kept the three of them busy for more than half a month.

They're not done yet.Something went wrong.

However, it was not them who had the accident, but the survivor base to the north of them.The food in the base became more and more scarce, so they had to form a team to hunt deep in the Tianshan jungle.

After a few downs, the harvest was quite fruitful, so more people joined the hunting team.But during a recent hunt, somehow, someone caught a litter of four-faced young.In the end, before the hunting team had time to get out of the forest, it attracted a bloody siege from the herd of beasts.The animals that besieged them had such thick hides that shooting them with guns was of little use.Most of the hunting team entered the bellies of these beasts, and the situation was extremely tragic.Only a very small number of people fled back to the base, but the matter was not over. These animals touched the base through their blood, and even started to attack the base.

Only the middle part of the base is blocked by a wall. Inside the wall are the base managers and people with special skills. Most of the common people live in tents outside the wall.Therefore, when the herd of beasts attacked, countless civilians in the periphery were killed or injured.These civilians asked the base manager to open the city gate, and those people couldn't do it alive, they just watched these people being torn to pieces by the wild beasts.The anger and despair that these common people had accumulated for many days finally broke out. After the herd retreated, they unanimously attacked the people inside the wall.This time there were many casualties.Really blood-stained yellow sand.

All of this was said by people who passed by Chen Zhuxia's place.This person was extremely thirsty, Chen Zhuxia gave him some water, and he reciprocated by telling her these things.

"Let's go, there are many beasts and people are crazy, you are in danger without a man to protect you." The man kindly persuaded Chen Zhuxia before leaving.

"Should we leave here?" Qi Ping'an asked.

"Where did you go after leaving here?" Chen Zhuxia said with dull eyes.Yuan Dingfang was still in a coma, and her car was out of gas.What should she do?

In the next few days, several groups of survivors passed by here, all of them ragged and skinny.In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Zhuxia ordered them not to go out.The three of them took a lot of effort to dig a hole in the house.to hide in case of necessity.Then they disguised the yard as if it was unoccupied, so that no one would miss it.

A few days passed, and fewer and fewer people passed by, sometimes not a single one was seen for a few days.The three of them came out again.

"Zhu Xia," this morning, Yuan Dingfang woke up suddenly like last time, looking at her with burning eyes.

"Dingfang, you're awake."

"Zhu Xia——" Yuan Dingfang's complexion suddenly changed, and his teeth chattered.Beads of sweat kept falling down.His hands were clenched tightly, and his body was arched, as if he was enduring great pain.

"Dingfang-" Chen Zhuxia was very nervous when he saw him like this.His ability to endure is very strong, and the general pain never shows up. He is like this now, which means that the pain has reached an unbearable level.

His eyes were red.A terrifying light radiated from within.

"Ah—" he roared wildly, jumped onto the bed, and ran out.Chen Zhuxia was stunned for a moment, then immediately chased after him.

"Come back—" Yuan Dingfang ran like he didn't hear anything.Qi Ping'an and Xiao Yun were also surprised, and they chased after Chen Zhuxia.

Yuan Dingfang ran towards the forest, but Chen Zhuxia couldn't keep up with her.

She just took two steps.I heard someone shouting behind me.Chen Zhuxia looked back and saw a wild beast with a body like an elephant and a head like a wild boar, approaching the three of them step by step with heavy steps.

"Get out of the way, both of you!" Chen Zhuxia ordered.Raise the pistol, aim, shoot.The bullet flew out at a high speed, but there was no headshot as imagined. The bullet was like a bullet on rubber, and it did not cause much damage to the beast.On the contrary, it angered it, this pictographic beast, with a roar of anger, rushed towards Chen Zhuxia and the others.Chen Zhuxia dragged Qi Pingan and the two quickly fled.

After running for hundreds of meters, Chen Zhuxia turned around, only to find that the beast was also running wildly.Panting for breath, she instructed Qi Pingan: "You two go over there." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and pushed, and then she chose another direction to escape.Anyway, she has space, after leading the beast away, she just hides in the space.

Qi Pingan looked at the figure of Chen Zhuxia leading the beast away.Pain and hesitation flashed in his eyes, which were quickly replaced by determination and determination.She lowered her head and touched Xiaoyun's head and said: "In the future, you must take good care of yourself and become more powerful." Xiaoyun was puzzled, and looked up at her in fear.Qi Ping angrily slapped Xiao Yun across the face, angrily saying: "Don't always look like that, you have to be strong——" After speaking, she turned around and chased in the direction of Chen Zhuxia and the beast .

"Mom—" Xiaoyun finally understood what her mother was going to do.She cried loudly and followed suit.

Chen Zhuxia used all her strength to lure the beast far enough away before hiding in the space.After a while, Chen Zhuxia heard someone calling her name loudly: "Zhu Xia—Zhu Xia—"

"Who?" Chen Zhuxia was startled, and cried out inwardly.It was Qi Ping'an who followed.

She didn't care whether to reveal the secret or not, so she hurried out.But it's too late!The shovel in Qi Ping'an's hand was inserted straight into the mouth of the pictograph beast, and she herself was torn bloody by the beast's sharp claws.Xiaoyun was stunned for a while and then came to his senses, holding a big knife in his thin arm and slashing at the beast regardless, shouting and shouting: "Mom, I'm here to save you."

Chen Zhuxia couldn't care less about thinking, she pulled out her machete and stabbed at the beast's eyes, the beast's eyes were blinded, and it was no longer possible to discern the direction.Taking the opportunity, Chen Zhuxia drew out his knife and stabbed fiercely at the relatively soft abdomen of the beast.Xiaoyun also followed Chen Zhuxia's example and stabbed the beast's belly.

Under the siege of the three of them, the pictograph finally died.With a plop, its heavy body fell to the ground.Blood flowed all over the place.Chen Zhuxia hurriedly helped Qi Pingan up.Qi Ping'an's chest and abdomen were torn apart by wild beasts, exposing his internal organs.

"You hold on."

"Don't be busy..." Qi Ping'an's voice was weak, and all the blood on his face was gone.

"Zhu Xia, you—" her tongue began to tie up.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Xiaoyun." Chen Zhuxia said hastily.

"You will." Qi Ping'an reached out a trembling hand to touch Chen Zhuxia's face.

"Mom—don't leave me, I have learned to be brave now, and I will protect you in the future. Don't leave—" Xiaoyun threw herself on her body and cried bitterly.

Qi Ping'an's hand had already touched Chen Zhuxia's face. She forced out a bleak smile, and said with her lips shaking: "23 years ago, I also touched people's faces, and then I was dragged away by my father crying. The pedals were crying loudly—after I got back, I often thought about that scene, and hated myself, why didn’t I grow up, maybe I didn’t have to throw you away——” Her hand slowly slid down.Chen Zhuxia held her hand behind his back, and warm tears rolled down silently.

"Sister——" Chen Zhuxia yelled loudly, and Qi Pingan smiled while panting, his eyelids slowly drooping.

"Mom—" Xiao Yun threw herself on her body and howled heart-piercingly.Chen Zhuxia got up slowly, then walked to the beast corpse with a sneer, picked up the gleaming knife, cut open the beast's belly, peeled off the skin bit by bit to vent her anger, and cut the meat into pieces one piece.

Xiao Yun was still crying loudly on Qi Ping'an's body, she was cutting the meat with tears and a sneer.
