Chapter 122 - So that counted as fulfilling one of his wishes? (2)

The grandma zombie seemed to have heard the noises from upstairs. She raised her head and called out.

Everyone fell silent.

"Grandma brought up both of us," Fang Ye said, "Our parents were too busy with work and didn't have time to care for us. She's always been the one taking care of us. Whenever there's any delicious food, she never eats it herself. She always saves it for us. Whenever we're mischievous and get into trouble, we don't dare to tell our parents. We always go downstairs to our grandma's, and she'll come over to support us.

"When the accident occured, it was the neighbor that turned into a zombie first. To give us time to escape, our grandma did her best to block that zombie. That's how she got bitten."

Fang Chen couldn't hold back and started to cry again.

Fang Ye stopped talking.

Bei Nuan patted Fang Chen on the back. She knew that it was better for him to cry it out than to hold it in. It must have been hard on these two kids to survive without an adult.

Fang Chen sobbed out, "Our grandma is so good to us, but we can only watch her like this. There's nothing we can do… The ground is so cold, and my grandma is barefoot. She's only wearing one shoe…"

Bei Nuan thought; zombies didn't seem to be able to feel the temperature.

But then, she had an idea and asked, "You want your grandma to wear shoes?"

Fang Chen quickly nodded.

Bei Nuan poked Du Ruo.

Du Ruo smiled. "Sure." Then he asked Fang Chen, "Did you lock the downstairs unit? Give me the key."

Three minutes later, Du Ruo appeared outside in the small yard.

When the grandmother saw Du Ruo, she didn't question his appearance or attack him. She looked past Du Ruo without any reaction.

Fang Chen almost gaped in surprise. Fang Ye made his way over to the window and squeezed a spot to look downstairs too.

Du Ruo went into the apartment to find shoes, came out with them, squatted down in front of the grandmother, and took off her old shoe and put on the pair of new shoes for her.

He also straightened out her blouse and buttoned it up all the way, so that it was warmer. Finally, he went inside, came out with a wrung out wet towel, and cleaned off the dirt she had accumulated on her face and hands these past few days.

After doing all that, Du Ruo raised his head and made an OK gesture to the people at the second floor window.

This time, neither the child nor the teenager could hold back from crying. Although their grandma had turned into a zombie, they still saw her as their grandma.

"How come Grandma didn't bite him?" Fang Chen asked Bei Nuan, "I want to be like him, so that I can go downstairs to see my grandma."

Startled, Bei Nuan coaxed him, "He has a special physique. Out of ten thousand people, there might not be a person like him."

Little Three suddenly spoke out, "Go, Bei Nuan, go! Keep up the good work."

Huh?

Bei Nuan opened the task bar and saw "1 out of 3 completed" after Fang Chen's name.

So that counted as fulfilling one of his wishes?

Du Ruo was the one that fulfilled his wish. At most, she had just thought of the idea. This task really wasn't too difficult to do.

Bei Nuan quickly asked Fang Chen, "Is there anything else that you want to do? I can help you."

Fang Chen was a bit touched. "Why are you so nice?"

Du Ruo had already come back upstairs. He immediately said, "I know. She wants people to praise her for being kind. Just praise her to death. That's the correct thing to do."

Bei Nuan: "..."

Correct thing to do?

Bei Nuan thought; if they were in a novel, his reactions to what she wanted was one chapter too slow.

Bei Nuan thought that fulfilling the task would be easy. These two brothers, who had been hungry for so long, must want to eat delicious food.

Unexpectedly, Fang Chen thought it over and tentatively asked, "There is something very troublesome. Can you guys help us with it?"
