Chapter 68 - Why did you come? (2)
At dinner, several giant stainless steel buckets of watery gruel were brought to the yard. The rice grains were hidden in the gruel, hidden so well that no one could find them.
Even though this gruel was so clear you can drink it with a draw, each person only received a small bowl. It was enough to keep them from starving to death, but not to fill them up.
Just as Bei Nuan was going to line up to get a bowl of gruel, the yellow-haired man stopped her. He gave her and Zhen Zhen each a lunch box. Opening it, she saw two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes neatly packed inside.
Was this the legendary harem member treatment?
Zhen Zhen came over from the neighboring room to eat dinner with Bei Nuan. They casually chatted, and the topic of their conversation was still Huo Ren.
Due to Huo Ren's random shooting this afternoon, Bei Nuan felt uncomfortable as soon as she thought of him. She didn't even want to hear his name, but Zhen Zhen remained oblivious.
"I think Huo Ren didn't really want to kill someone," Zhen Zhen said, "He was standing a lot higher up than everyone else. Maybe he really did see that guy mutating."
Bei Nuan had half of a fish in her lunch box. The fish was very fresh. Bei Nuan focused on taking out the fish bones. She didn't want to talk.
"Either that, or he misunderstood and thought that person was going to do something that would violate the rules of this place. After all, it's rare to have such a safe place for everyone to hide from the zombies. That's why he has to protect it well."
That man that was killed had brought his wife and daughter here. What bad thing could he do?
The fish was very tender. While Bei Nuan was busy eating the fish, Zhen Zhen continued to talk to herself.
"Huo Ren is quite easy to think of people from the dark side. I think he… how to put it… he accidentally fell into darkness. He needs someone to shine light in his life and save him.
Sis, Huo Ren isn't someone that accidentally fell into the darkness. He's undoubtedly the King of Darkness. Well, take your time to save him. Just be careful, don't fall in.
Sure enough, when nighttime came, Huo Ren needed someone to save him.
The person that came was Little Hei, who had helped Bei Nuan pilot the boat earlier that day.
Little Hei came over to inform Bei Nuan that she had to go to Huo Ren's room.
Zhen Zhen was still in Bei Nuan's room. She was stunned for a long time when she heard Little Hei's words. Her eyes even redden.
Bei Nuan was scared by her reaction. It couldn't be that she genuinely thought Huo Ren had taken her along out of the goodness of his heart, right? That was too naive.
"Did Big Bro Huo call her over to say something to her?" Zhen Zhen seemed to still have a bit of hope.
Little Hei glanced at Bei Nuan. His tanned complexion was a bit red. "Big Bro definitely has something..."
He added, "You've been accompanying Big Bro Huo all this time, don't you understand?"
Zhen Zhen flushed. She stood up and said in a resolute tone, "Take me to see him. I want to talk to him."
Then she turned to ask Bei Nuan with a hesitant tone, "Do you… want to go with me?"
Bei Nuan shrunk back on the bed, hugging her pillow. She frantically shook her head.
Her meaning was very clear; keep your precious Huo Ren for yourself. No one wants to steal him from you.
Zhen Zhen was very satisfied with Bei Nuan's reaction. She directed Little Hei, "Let's go."
She went out first.
Little Hei hesitated for a moment. Big Bro Huo had called for Bei Nuan, and Little Hei didn't dare to disobey his order, but he also didn't dare to seriously offend Zhen Zhen, the #1 in Big Bro Huo's harem.
Little Hei looked at Bei Nuan again.
