my doomsday wish list

Chapter 63 The Price of Ignorance (22)

"The Sheriff hasn't eaten a bite." Jin Meiqing cleared the coffee table and found that not a single spoonful of the porridge had been touched. "Does it taste bad?"

She scooped a spoonful of porridge and tasted it. It was quite salty.

At this time.

Stepmother Meiqing heard footsteps coming from the room, looked sideways, and saw Li Enhui who had just finished washing came out.

She was wiping her wet hair, wearing a light cotton pajama dress.

Seeing her stepmother alone in the living room, an imperceptible hint of loneliness flashed through her eyes.

Just as he was about to turn around, he heard his stepmother Meiqing reminding him.

"The sheriff just left."

"Before I leave, I ask you to pay attention to rest."

Li Enhui trembled.

The meaning behind the words "take a good rest" is obviously not intending to really let her go.

Thinking of the photos with clearly marked prices and the waiters in the school square, I couldn't help but blush slightly.

She bit her silver teeth and murmured:
"Did he say anything else?"

Hearing her daughter Li Enhui's questioning, the stepmother, who had never been good at lying, became a little erratic in her eyes, showing a guilty conscience.

Her ten fingers hooked together unconsciously, faltering.

She couldn't just say that she asked her sheriff boyfriend to go out and find her husband for her.

Although that was also Li Enhui's father, she somewhat had some selfish intentions and took advantage of the relationship between Li Enhui and her boyfriend.

There are many dangers outside, and it is extremely difficult to protect oneself, let alone find someone in a more dangerous place.

Li Enhui, who has always been sensitive, saw the clue.

Her stepmother's uncharacteristic silence caught her attention.

"What did you say to him?!" Li Enhui asked sharply.

The stepmother was also stunned for a moment, not expecting her daughter to suddenly become angry.

Worried that Li Enhui had misunderstood something, he hesitated for a moment and had to explain.

"I really didn't say anything to your sergeant boyfriend."

"It's just that I asked him one thing before he left."

Li Enhui turned pale, and a strong bad feeling came to her heart.

"What did you ask him to do?!"

"Enhui. Stop asking." Stepmother Meiqing responded perfunctorily, feeling increasingly guilty.

It is easy for girls of this age to fall in love. Li Eunhui attaches great importance to the police chief boyfriend, even more than her father.

Once he learns the whole story, he will definitely hate her to death.

After all, her husband is in danger outside, and his life or death is uncertain.

And Li Enhui's boyfriend is still alive and well, so there is no need to take this risk.

If her boyfriend never comes back, no matter what the truth is, Li Enhui will definitely blame it.

The stepmother dared not go on.

Li Enhui refused to let go, and asked directly: "Did you ask him to find my father?!"

"Ah?!" Stepmother Meiqing was stunned. She never expected that Li Enhui would guess it at a glance.

She almost cried, and quickly explained.

"I just asked you to stop by."

"I really didn't intend to hurt your sheriff's boyfriend on purpose."

"Don't take it to heart. And your father is outside and really needs rescue."

"And now he. He might still be alive."

Li Enhui felt her scalp tingling and her head buzzing.

She deeply understood what kind of person Zheng Xun was.

If you make a request to him, you will have to pay a corresponding price.

And the ignorant stepmother asked Zheng Xun to find her father without knowing it.

That kind of equivalent exchange is almost inevitable.

When I think of those nasty things, my heart is completely confused.

And now she may have to face even more nasty things.

Even if Zheng Xun really found his father, how should they face it.

"Then did he agree to your request?" Li Enhui's tone softened, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

Stepmother Meiqing was obviously confused and explained intermittently.

"The sheriff promised but he said."

"Next time he makes a request, I hope I don't say no."

As soon as this word comes out.

Li Enhui's pupils shrank suddenly, trembling uncontrollably.

Like five thunders, the whole person froze in place, at a loss.

Stepmother Meiqing was afraid that Li Enhui would be worried, so she quickly added an explanation.

"It's all right, sheriff, he must be all right."

"I just asked him to help me by the way. I didn't force him to find it."

Li Enhui kept shaking her head.

She knew that her stepmother was completely kept in the dark and didn't realize Zheng Xun's horror at all.

Zheng Xun agreed to his stepmother Jin Meiqing's request, which meant that the deal had begun.

"He will be fine but you may not be able to fulfill his request."

"A request? As long as we can find your father, we can agree to any request." Jin Meiqing explained urgently.

"We can give him the villa, the car, and the food stored in the basement."

"If he still thinks it's not enough, the Oaks Plaza under his name can also be given to him."

"No, he doesn't lack these things at all." Li Enhui was now in a complete dilemma and could not explain the cause and effect of the whole matter to Jin Meiqing.

She couldn't explain the price she had paid to get home.

Not to mention the secrets about Zheng Xun during the transaction.

The more she talked, the more involved her stepmother became.

If you are not careful, you may even be killed by Zheng Xun.

She has seen Zheng Xun's terrible methods with her own eyes, and she is definitely not the kind of soft-hearted person.

If Zheng Xun didn't find any trace of her father, the deal would naturally not be established, but she would lose her father forever.

In such an extreme apocalyptic environment, even Zheng Xun could not be found, and the possibility of others helping to find him was extremely slim.

Not to mention she went out to find it herself.

If Zheng Xun successfully finds her father, the deal will be completed.

Then she and her stepmother Jin Meiqing must pay the corresponding price.

And that price, obviously, has only one possibility.

Dedicated to both of them completely.

Thinking of this, Li Enhui shuddered.

"I'm back."

When Zheng Xungang stepped into the apartment, it was completely dark.

He carried a bag of snacks and picked out instant noodles, peanuts, Happy Fat Home Water, etc. from the store on the way back. He also specially selected a bottle of low-alcohol cocktail drink.

pat.

Turn on the light in the room casually, kick off the leather shoes on the feet.

Suddenly, Shen Jiuna, who was sitting on the bench, looked straight at him.

stared at himself.

what's the situation? !

The confusion in his eyes seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

Zheng Xun stopped and waited for a few seconds.

Shen Jiuna didn't move at all.

His hands were handcuffed to the chair, and he was as obedient and quiet as when he left in the morning.

When he came back to his senses, Zheng Xun let out a breath.

He walked up to Shen Jiunai and rolled out the dough fiercely.

Just now, I thought the zombies could lock me, and I was almost scared to pee.

"It turns out that Shen Jiunai has been with me for a long time and has become more like a living person."

"Lend me the chair and use it."

Zheng Xun uncuffed the handcuffs, let Shen Jiuna go, and let her wander around the room blankly, walking up and down.

He undid his gear and hung his coat on a hanger.

Then he walked to the balcony with a stool and chair, took out snacks and cocktails, and ate and drank alone.

The evening breeze came slowly, and I felt a bit of coolness.

Looking around, night shrouded the city in chaos and strife.

At a glance, it is almost the same as usual, but it is getting darker.

The lights that originally illuminated the houses that adorned the entire city were now reduced to less than [-]%, and one area after another suffered a power outage.

The liveliest part is the streets, where zombies roam the streets tirelessly.

These days, I found some trapped survivors, and they basically just begged him again and again for food or help.

In the future, if he meets one and reaches out to help, then he, Zheng Xun, will be no different from those bodyguards and food porters outside.

“So supply and demand determine market position.”

"There are so many requests for me, so it's quite reasonable to raise the price."

"It's a pity that I don't have colleagues to set off, otherwise they will know me."

While pouring food and wine into his mouth, he kept thinking about boring things.

Suddenly, a sound of braking broke the silence and came from far away on the street.

Zheng Xun looked curiously.

A silver car was found crashing into the wall on the side of the road.

Zombies swarmed in the darkness.

The family of three in the car was still slowly unbuttoning their seat belts.

A middle-aged man and woman who looked like a couple, holding a girl about the same size as Lena, opened the door and escaped.

But they soon fell among the corpses, screaming and howling in despair.

After a while, the original tranquility was restored.

Zheng Xun was silent, took out a piece of dried meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

　This is more to make up for yesterday.

　　Update later today.
