Chapter 138: Respect, this damned end of the world

  On a clear and starry night, Liu Ting and Shen Qing sat on a bed, with Liu Ting telling Shen Qing about the things that had happened to her and Wu Xiao Tian. When Shen Qing heard that Liu Ting had been taken down by Wu Xiao Tian, she was furious, knowing that Liu Ting had suffered greatly and was pitied. Born to heartless parents who abandoned her at the gate of an orphanage, Liu Ting grew up there but couldn't fit in with the other orphans because she was too beautiful from a young age. Many families wanted to adopt her, but the orphanage director refused, knowing they only wanted to adopt Liu Ting for their own gain. The neglected orphans ostracized Liu Ting, and in the vast orphanage, only the director treated Liu Ting with kindness!

  When Liu Ting grew up, the director of the orphanage passed away due to that despicable cancer. Without the director's protection, Liu Ting left the orphanage and from then on was always alone. Liu Ting relied on her own efforts to get into college, working part-time jobs to pay tuition, and relying on her own efforts to survive. Although Liu Ting had a stunning appearance and perfect figure, attracting countless admirers, she never thought of her looks as her capital and did not indulge in self-degradation.

  This made Shen Qing, who had always grown up under the protection of her parents, admire and appreciate Liu Ting. When Liu Ting first entered the car market, Shen Qing treated her like a younger sister, always biased towards Liu Ting, not allowing her to suffer any grievances or harm, because she had already endured too much hardship.

  Protecting Liu Ting is one of the most important things for Shen Qing after the apocalypse breaks out.

  Since the day Wu Xiaotian rescued them from the car market, Shen Qing found Liu Ting a bit off, she looked like a little girl who had seen Prince Charming on a white horse, but Shen Qing was still wary of Wu Xiaotian, so she kept testing him, at that time Wu Xiaotian's performance was okay, Shen Qing slightly let out a breath, but still remained vigilant against Wu Xiaotian.

  When they split up, Liu Ting unexpectedly carried Shen Qing on her back and secretly ran to Wu Xiaotian's dump truck, causing Shen Qing to panic and try to chase after Liu Ting, but Wu Xiaotian's dump truck had already driven far away.

  That time, Du Ziteng suddenly went out and came back after a day to tell Shen Qing that Liu Ting had become Du Ziteng's sister-in-law, which made Shen Qing even more furious.

  This time, although Liu Ting came to find her as soon as she arrived, Shen Qing still had a stern expression on her face, waiting for Liu Ting's explanation. But after hearing what happened between Wu Xiaotian and Liu Ting, Shen Qing's face gradually eased up.

  "Ah, you little girl, you're really making me worry, actually going to help him block the mutated zombie's attack!"

  But Liu Ting is now like a little girl who has seen her mother, obediently, allowing Shen Qing to scold her, not saying a word, just listening, although she is being scolded, but in her heart it's still warm, because she feels that Shen Qing truly cares about her, loves her, just like a mother loves her daughter.

  Unlike Shen Qing and Liu Ting, Tang Jiajia is now busy in the kitchen. Although there are also great chefs among the survivors who walked out of the hotel, Tang Jiajia still wants to let Wu Xiaotian taste her cooking skills. This is because Tang Jiajia's mother had told her that if she wanted to capture a man's heart, she must first capture his stomach. Therefore, Tang Jiajia had previously practiced her culinary skills diligently. During their previous journey, Tang Jiajia never had the opportunity to showcase her cooking skills, which were comparable to those of a top chef. But now she does.

  "Listening to him, this was his mother's favorite cooking utensil when he was in Yanjing. Humph! Even Liu sister hasn't used it before, now I'm the first one to use it and also the first one to cook a dish for Tian Gege to eat!" Tang Jiajia smiled as she stir-fried the dishes, thinking to herself that when Wu Xiaotian tasted her cooking and loudly praised it, her heart would sweetly flutter. Although this dish wasn't just for Wu Xiaotian alone, she must let him have the first bite!

  At this time, Wu Xiaotian, Duan Yue, Du Ziteng, Yang Ling, and Zhao Xinyu, who had just woken up, as well as Yu Wenjun, a brother who used to live in the same dormitory as Wu Xiaotian and was rescued by Du Ziteng, sat in the living room, drinking fine wine and discussing the end of the world.

  "Xiao Tian, are you saying that Wang Bing and them..." Yu Wenjun stood up, bitterly asking Wu Xiao Tian: "Is this true?"

  Wu Xiaotian directly downed a cup of strong liquor, looking at this 1.75-meter-tall person with black hair and a fringe covering his eyes, a pale face without a mustache, making him look like a high school student, but in reality, he was Yu Wenjun, who had been working for two years. Wu Xiaotian couldn't lie, so he truthfully recounted what happened on the other side again.

  "Bang!"

  Du ZiTeng's wine glass slipped from his hand and fell onto the floor, shattering into pieces.

  "Little ones, are they watching us from above? We mustn't lose face in front of their friends up there!" Yang Ling saw that Wu Xiaotian was about to say something and spoke first: "Xiao Tian, as I said before, since they left first, we have to live on with the share that belongs to them too!"

  Wiping away the tears welling up in his eyes, Du ZiTeng and Yu WenJun exchanged a glance before saying in unison: "Right, we can't let them lose face in front of their friends in heaven!"

  At this time, Duan Yue and Zhao Xinyu couldn't sit still either. They raised their glasses and said: "Let's toast to them, because we want to live together with the share that belongs to them!"

  "The sound of fine wine hitting the ground made these men put away the sadness in their hearts, and after refilling their cups, they all poured the wine into their bellies."

  A cup of turbid wine down the hatch, feeling the fiery sensation in his esophagus, Wu Xiaotian was the first to raise his cup and said to the crowd of brothers: "Cheers, we're still alive!"

  Duan Yue also raised his wine cup and said: "Respectfully, to all of you brothers!"

  Jing, this damned end of the world!

  Zhao Xinyu said: "Jing, we can still be together!"

  "Jing, we'll be together forever! Even in death, we won't part ways!"

  "Cheers!" One cup after another of turbid wine went down the hatch, and the dizzy feeling in their heads made these men living in the end times extremely enjoy themselves, extremely infatuated, because only this way could they forget all the pressure, all the sorrow, all the grief, all the troubles, all the love, hate, affection, and resentment. They just wanted to get drunk once and for all, while celebrating the final reunion of brothers, mourning those who had already passed away!
