BC Chapter 135

Because the four of them encountered mutated zombies, Yao Jinglin immediately suspended everyone’s material search mission and asked everyone to hide in the kindergarten and wait for her.

Although the female survivors expressed concern about the actions of Yao Jinglin and Lin Xiang, and suggested that the men should recommend two people to go out, after witnessing the terrified states of Han Lin and Cao Xinrong, the men lost the courage to participate enthusiastically. After all, when the search team was first formed, everyone participated in order to hide some personal items, secretly taking some things outside to eat for themselves. Moreover, the safety of going out together was higher. It could be said that most people took on the search task with the intention of taking advantage. But at this moment, the search mission had become a high-risk choice, so naturally no one would take the initiative to undertake it.

In the end, it’s impossible for those who have survived to this day to not be a little selfish. Most of those who had the awareness to sacrifice themselves to save others are really dead because they have other beliefs in their hearts that are more important than survival.

Just after Yao Jinglin and Lin Xiang left, the female survivors who gathered together began to criticize unscrupulously.

“I knew that most of the men nowadays are unreliable. Look, such a simple scouting job has to be done by us women. I really don’t know what use these men will be if women can have children on their own in the future!” Fang Qingyun, a big sister with curly hair, threw the cleaning rag in her hand on the open space and began to complain.

“Exactly! We give birth to the children and raise them, we do the housework, we take care of the elderly, and we have to pay half of the household expenses. When something happens, they are the first to abandon their wives and children!” Zou Lamei, who was opposite Fang Qingyun, was a little younger than Fang Qingyun, but the age difference was not large, so she agreed with Fang Qingyun’s view on this point. The two sang in harmony with tacit understanding. As soon as they spoke, the surrounding men’s faces turned blue and white. But what they said was the truth. Even if they wanted to refute, they had no face to say anything given their previous behavior.

“So I can’t understand what our parents are urging. It’s clear that finding those useless men is of no use to us women. Instead, we have to make such great sacrifices, and in the end, we can’t get anything good.” Zhai Zihan, who had just turned thirty, also sneered and glared at the surrounding men, echoing.

“Yes, we’re not stupid. If it really was such a popular choice, even if they stopped us, they couldn’t stop our desire to get married. But look at the situation now? We pay, we sacrifice, we are subjected to domestic violence, we are criticized. If the next generation is good, it’s because the man’s genes are good. If it’s not good, it’s because the mother didn’t teach them well. Widow-style marriages are said to be because the man is career-oriented. Taking responsibility is called the man excellent, a warm man, hard to find with a lantern. When they have money, keeping three, four, or five mistresses is also praised by men as being capable. It’s as if their mistakes in public opinion can be perfectly concealed, and only we women must be the target, with good and bad only affecting ourselves!” Xie Min, who was the same age as Zhai Zihan, also nodded in agreement.

“Hey, I say, you guys have had enough! Don’t engage in that gender confrontation nonsense here. What time is it? We may not even have tomorrow, and you’re still talking about what men are like and what women are like! If you don’t need to rely on us men, go search for supplies yourselves! Or don’t eat the things we search back! Really!” Luo Dalu, who could no longer listen from the men’s side, jumped down from the windowsill, raised his eyebrows, and retorted with a provocative look.

“That’s right! A bunch of long-haired, short-sighted old women! All they know is to nag about these useless things… Tsk. Saying so much nonsense, in the end, you still can’t live without us men!” Yu Yang, who was standing next to him, tilted a toothpick in his mouth, grinned, patted his hands, gave Luo Dalu a thumbs up with a look that deserved a beating, and then turned his head to continue provoking the group of female survivors.

“What?! Bullshit! You come! You come over here! I’ll show you how we can’t live without men!” Fang Qingyun stood up abruptly, and Xie Min on the side quickly stood up and grabbed Fang Qingyun, who had rolled up her sleeves, to stop her.

“Sister Fang! Sister Fang! Don’t be impulsive! Don’t argue with those animals driven by their lower bodies, it’s not necessary, really not necessary.” Zou Lamei on the opposite side also frowned and reached out to persuade Fang Qingyun with a comforting gesture.

Just as the conflict between the two groups was about to ignite, everyone didn’t notice that Han Lin, who was sitting alone in the corner, began to turn red in the face, and the veins and blood vessels on his neck also bulged out. Then, he began to make unconscious whimpering sounds.

“Woo woo woo… Er, er… Vomit…” As if someone was pinching his neck, Han Lin’s expression was painful and twisted, and his whole body was contorted in an unnatural way. Finally, he spat out a pool of vomit as if he had let out his last breath and fell to the ground.

The crowd, who had not noticed Han Lin’s change, only belatedly looked in his direction after hearing Han Lin’s vomiting.

“W-what’s wrong?” Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what was wrong with Han Lin. But seeing that he had been motionless since vomiting, they all swallowed nervously.

Seeing that everyone was motionless as if they had been frozen, Yu Yang, who was closest to him, rolled his eyes and laughed “haha”. While saying “Look at you cowards!”, he pretended to be fearless and walked towards Han Lin.

When he got close to Han Lin, he kicked his thigh with his foot: “Hey, Han Lin, now is not the time to joke, don’t scare us!”

However, Han Lin did not respond. Helpless, Yu Yang had to squat down and take a look, learning from what he saw on TV, he stretched out two fingers and placed them on Han Lin’s carotid artery to feel the other party’s heartbeat.

However, there was none. Han Lin no longer had a heartbeat.

Yu Yang’s heart skipped a beat, and his face changed drastically. He immediately jumped up and stuttered to everyone: “D-d-dead…”

Han Lin is dead.

Everyone’s face immediately changed upon realizing this.

However, Luo Dalu suddenly “puffed” and laughed: “Yu Yang, what the hell are you doing, still making this kind of joke!”

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Luo Dalu upon hearing this, but quickly turned their attention back to Han Lin on the ground along with his fingertip.

“He’s still moving! Dead, my ass!!” Luo Dalu only felt that he was being played like an idiot by Yu Yang, and couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed and angry.

However, Yu Yang, who was facing away from Han Lin, was so frightened by Luo Dalu’s words that he couldn’t move. He squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying with some trembling: “You’re the one who likes to make this kind of low-level joke, if you don’t believe me, come and feel it yourself!”

However, apart from Yu Yang, everyone present saw Han Lin who was swaying and struggling to stand up in an unnatural movement… opening his gray-white eyes, twitching his nose, as if trying to smell something.
