Chapter 100: The Fury of the Masses

  On a clear and starry night, Wu Xiaotian sat on the top of a dump truck with Yu Ren in his arms, while Liu Ting was nestled in his chest like a kitten. The bright moonlight shone down on them, and they wanted to hold each other like this until their teeth fell out and their hair turned white.

  The crowd sitting around the bonfire didn't pay attention to the two people on the cart, but instead stared intently at the rabbit meat rotating on the rack. They hadn't smelled the aroma of meat for many days, and now that golden, oily, and plump rabbit meat made their mouths water. However, Tang Jiajia, who was holding Little Xianxian, didn't show any interest in the rabbit meat. She was very curious about Wu Xiaotian, wanting to understand him and know everything about him.

  "Duan Ge, Zhao Ge, when did you get to know Tian Ge?"

  Tang Jiajia's ears perked up instantly. Now she was very grateful to the silly questioner and looked at Duan Yue with an expectant expression as he flipped the roasted rabbit meat.

  "Classmate in high school."

  "University dormitory."

  Zhao Xinyu picked up a piece of roasted rabbit meat and fed it into Li Xinjiao's mouth, then turned to ask the silly guy: "Why did you ask this?"

  Nalengzi scratched his head and smiled foolishly: "I just want to know some things about Tian Ge."

  "What would you like to know?"

  "I want to know everything about Tian Ge!"

  Duan Yue took down the rabbit meat from the shelf and said while dividing the rabbit meat, "Then you can't sleep tonight."

  "Why?"

  Duan Yue gave the best part of the rabbit to Xiao Yan, but in return, she only got a "thank you, weirdo" from Xiao Yan. Leng Zi asked Duan Yue, who was now frowning.

  "Alas, there are too many things he can talk about, so many that one night is not enough to finish!"

  Those things all happened around us, only representing our views. If you want to truly understand him, then observe him more often, after all, those things will bring our subjective ideas. At this time, Zhao Xinyu also chimed in and said: "Observe him more often, and you can feel his charm."

  "Oh, I see." Lengzi replied helplessly. He understood all this and could also feel Wu Xiaotian's unique charm, but he still wanted to know some things about Wu Xiaotian, such as why Wu Xiaotian was originally a kind-hearted person, but when they first met, his eyes were so apathetic and cold. Lengzi was a straightforward person who couldn't hide any thoughts, so he asked this question.

  When Lengzi asked this question, Zhao Xinyu replied to Lengzi. "That's because he was once betrayed by a woman he deeply loved and sold out by a brother he trusted. Since then, he has been less likely to believe strangers. However, once you gain his recognition and trust, he will no longer hide his enthusiasm in front of you."

  "Damn it, what kind of woman is blind to goodness? This damn woman doesn't recognize the preciousness of Tian Ge, such a great guy, and she actually betrays him. From now on, if I see her again, I'll tear her apart! And that traitor who sold out Tian Ge, if I ever run into him, watch me feed him to the zombies!"

  Lengzi's scolding voice made the silently listening Dagawa deeply agree with her, because he had also been betrayed before. He understood the taste of being betrayed by someone trusted. Although he hadn't been betrayed, watching movies told him that feeling. Even the inexperienced Li Siyun clenched his fists as if ready to punch someone. Only the innocent and naive Xiaoyan didn't know what was going on but could feel the adults' anger, scared by their anger into hiding behind Tang Jiajia.

  Holding Xiaoyan, Tang Jiajia kept her ears perked up and listened, but she couldn't figure it out either - why Wu Xiaotian had to suffer so much. Was it all because of that cold and indifferent society?

  She turned her head to look at Wu Xiaotian sitting on the carriage, had he been enduring that pain all along? Why did he have to endure such pain? His smile was still so radiant, so sunny and warm. Was he always forcing himself to smile? Thinking of this, Tang Jiajia wanted to rush over and hug him, letting him feel warmth in her own arms. But now there was already a woman in his arms. Tang Jiajia suddenly felt a sour heart, sour to the point of pain.

  They finally knew why Wu Xiaotian's eyes were so indifferent when they first met him.

  Zhao Xinyu held his wife in his arms, but he was also observing the expressions of the crowd. After exchanging a glance with Duan Yue, they both showed a look of understanding, because they had been observing the expressions of the crowd all along, and they wanted to confirm whether these people could be truly trusted. The expressions of the crowd made them very happy, and at the same time, also very worried.

  "Don't worry too much, he's doing well now because he has always had true-hearted brothers to accompany him, and now there are also people who truly love him to be with him."

  This was the real trust that Duan Yue spoke of, because he knew that although it was now the end of the world, Wu Xiao Tian was no longer alone and would never be alone again, for his heart had gradually become surrounded by people who would warm it.

  "Alright, alright, now although I don't know what happened to the woman who betrayed Xiaotian, it's highly likely that she was eaten by zombies and is now in some zombie's stomach. The man who sold out Xiaotian has long been imprisoned for his crimes and has probably been raped countless times behind the high walls."

  What Zhao Xinyu said made several men burst out laughing, the women's faces turned bright red, and everyone gathered around the bonfire to liven up the atmosphere. They didn't mention what happened earlier again because they all kept it in their hearts. As long as they remembered it in their hearts, there was no need to constantly bring it up.

  Everyone was happily telling jokes, but only Tang Jiajia sat quietly on one side, her hands clasped around her knees, lost in thought.

  Wu Xiaotian, who was on the top of the dump truck, also discovered the commotion at the bonfire and wanted to go over to listen to what they were talking about. However, Liu Ting had already fallen asleep in his arms, so Wu Xiaotian gave up on that idea. Looking at Liu Ting's sleeping face, he knew she was exhausted because she had been the most tired of everyone after the battle during the day. Being able to hold her when she was tired and provide a haven for her to sleep soundly in his arms made Wu Xiaotian feel very happy.

  He looked up at the twinkling stars, but didn't dare move his body, fearing that he would wake Liu Ting in his arms.

  The young people sitting around the bonfire were still laughing, discussing, telling jokes, looking forward to tomorrow, expecting the future, as if this was not the end of the world, there were no zombies, no worries, no concerns, only cheers and laughter.
