Thud! Luo Yuanjun was thrown to the area before the tea table.
Deng Chenfei stayed silent in shock.
Dong Lijia didn't say anything either.
Luo Yuanjun sat on the ground with his mouth gaped, without even knowing what just happened. That was not the end though. Dong Xinxin lunged up to him with big steps, clenched her fists, and punched him right in the face.
"Ouch! Wait… wait! Why did you hit me again?" Luo Yuanjun, who just sat up from the ground, didn't even manage to react before being punched in the eye. He covered that injured eyes and screamed out loud, then looked at Dong Xinxin as if she were a ghost.
"Xinxin?" Dong Lijia finally realized what was happening. The one who punched Luo Yuanjun was probably his sister. But, why did Dong Xinxin punch Luo Yuanjun at the sight of him?
After giving Luo Yuanjun that punch, Dong Xinxin stood up as she turned to Dong Lijia and said, "It if weren't for him, I would never die and end up back here."
After saying that, she gave Luo Yuanjun a cold glance, then snorted as she turned and sat down on the couch.
"What? It was because of him?" Dong Lijia's expression changed the moment he heard Dong Xinxin's words. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and walked to Luo Yuanjun, seemingly wanting to punch Luo Yuanjun too.
"Oi! Wait, wait! Dong Lijia, what are you doing? Dong Xinxin… What did you mean? Why did you hit me? What did I ever to do you?" Seeing Dong Lijia coming at him aggressively, Luo Yuanjun hurriedly struggled up from the ground and reached out one hand to stop him as he kept covering his eye with the other. With deep confusion and anger, he looked at Dong Lijia and his sister and asked them.
"You don't believe what my brother said, do you? Wait and see in half a month. Don't blame us for not warning you guys. You think I worked out so hard just to lose weight? Hehe…" Dong Xinxin tittered scornfully at them.
"Wait a second! What does what your brother said have to do with the fact that you hit me? Wait, do you believe what he said? Also, what did you mean by you died and ended up back here? I am so confused right now. I don't understand what's going on here! Chenfei, do you have a clue?" Luo Yuanjun widened his one eye as he looked at Dong Xinxin and her brother, and then at Deng Chenfei.
Deng Chenfei stayed quiet. He looked at Luo Yuanjun expressionlessly, then at Dong Xinxin and Dong Lijia. With his eyes narrowed, he looked at Dong Xinxin and said to her, "How can you guys prove what you said? Only by selling your family business and losing your weight?"
Dong Xinxin shrugged and said, "Believe it or not. As I've said, you wait and see in half a month."
"Come here, now tell me! What did this guy do before you came back here?" As Luo Yuanjun had created a safe distance from him, Dong Lijia gave up on kicking his ass and asked Dong Xinxin a question.
"Oh, I went to save him. I told him to go back to the base without me, but he refused to do it. In the end, we both died. I tried so hard to save him, but ended up getting myself killed as well!" Recalling what happened back then, Dong Xinxin glared at Luo Yuanjun angrily.
Luo Yuanjun had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. "What the hell?" He looked at her and said with confusion.
Dong Lijia reacted in a different way. "What? Why did you tell him to leave without you? Weren't you trying to save him? The two of you should be leaving together."
Dong Xinxin looked at Dong Lijia and said, "I had one broken leg. Taking me with him, he couldn't possibly survive in that kind of circumstances. So, I told him to leave without me. If he survived, my life wouldn't be lost in vain. But in the end, he wasted his life. I consumed up all my energy to save him, but he chose to die together with me."
"You! How dare you waste the opportunity of survival that my sister earned for you by giving up her own life! I'll kill you!" Hearing Dong Xinxin's words and sensing her grievance, Dong Lijia was infuriated instantly.
"What on earth are you guys talking about? I don't even understand a word you said!" Luo Yuanjun hurriedly moved to the side to dodge Dong Lijia's attack.
Dong Lijia rolled up his sleeves again, prepared to give Luo Yuanjun a serious punch. But, after making about two steps, he paused and struggled, "Wait, actually… If he abandoned you and ran, I'd truly kill him."
Dong Xinxin looked at him speechlessly. 'So, exactly which side you're on?' she wanted to ask him that question.
Deng Chenfei, who had been ignored by the others, couldn't help but join the conversation, "You guys haven't answered my question yet."
"Haven't we?" Dong Lijia turned and looked at him as he said, "What I wanted to say is the same as what Xinxin has said. It's your choice to believe it or not. As your friend, I am now telling you this, even though you might think that I've lost my mind. In half a month, you guys can meet us in Sea City. As for the company, just stop thinking about it."
"My brother is right. Since you don't believe us, don't ask about the reason why we did what we did. We are all friends. We have no reason to lie to you guys. But Luo Yuanjun, if what I said is gonna be real, remember, you owe me a life!" Dong Xinxin's pretty face wore a very serious look. She really didn't seem to be joking at all. When she looked at Luo Yuanjun, actual anger could be detected from her eyes.
"I… I…" Luo Yuanjun looked at her in the eyes. Under her strong vibe, he almost believed her words. However, his sanity told him that it would be impossible. However, the punch that Dong Xinxin gave him was not gentle at all. It hurt like hell!
"This is why I didn't tell you anything. I knew you wouldn't believe me. Relax, in half a month, almost half of all people in the world will die, but you guys will survive. Remember, go and find us in Sea City," Dong Lijia sighed, then turned to Dong Xinxin.
"What? You make this sound like a real thing. I don't even know what this so-called apocalypse is gonna be yet! And Dong Xinxin, you actually hit me!" Luo Yuanjun looked at Dong Lijia bewilderedly, then at Deng Chenfei, and at last, he turned to Dong Xinxin grumpily.
Dong Lijia walked back to the couch and sat down as he looked at him and laughed, "I've told you that you'd be hit by Xinxin at some point. You wouldn't believe me. She's rather short-tempered now!"
Deng Chenfei looked around, then glanced at Dong Xinxin and said, "So, Xinxin's strange behaviors, and you guys selling the family business… Were all these because of the joke that you told me? If that's really gonna happen, what did you guys need money for? The money would be useless, wouldn't it?"
Seeing the look on his face, Dong Lijia realized that he had already started to believe the apocalypse. "You had given the answer yourself, haven't you? When I asked you that question."
Deng Chenfei thought for a moment. Dong Lijia asked him what he would prepare in advance if the world was going to be occupied by zombies and virus. His answer was…
Food, water, vehicles, and gasoline!
