Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 4 An Apple

The next morning, everyone woke up and still decided to walk along the river. According to common sense, there must be villages where there is a river. No one proposed to go back to the road. I don’t know how many zombies are waiting on the road. Lively people.

Half a day passed, and the gazes of the men looking at the old man became more and more frightening. Lin Rantong even felt that the young men were full of scrutiny when they looked at the women.Faintly, Lin Rantong, Tang Tang, Tian Xin, and Uncle Li formed a circle, and the three men formed a circle.

Lin Rantong knew that Uncle Li must never be abandoned. This is how the human heart is. Once certain moral bottom lines are broken, it will be even more difficult to predict what will happen next.So when Guo Dalong said time and time again that he would leave Uncle Li behind, she firmly stood by Tang Tang.

"Brother Guo, we don't have much food left. It's just a matter of raising those beautiful women, why are we still raising that old waste?" The wine bottle man had a fierce look on his face.

"Then what can I do, those women are desperately protecting that old guy." Guo Dalong looked depressed.

"I said brother, you are usually very powerful, why are you still afraid of those girls? To be honest, can't you see it? This is the end of the world. The previous laws are all bullshit. The key is to live , those girls, it’s good if we are willing to take them with us, why are they still pointing fingers, no matter how dishonest we are, we will punish them on the spot!” At this point, the beer man’s eyes lit up, “If you say this, I I can't bear it anymore, I haven't fucked such a beautiful girl before, I really want to taste what it's like."

The man with glasses gave Guo Dalong a meaningful look, but didn't make a sound.

"This is not good." Guo Dalong scratched his head, stopped talking, and continued to walk forward.

"Rantong, what do you think they are talking about?" Tang Tang muttered.

"Tang Tang, if we can't find the village again, we may be in trouble." Lin Rantong's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, because she had been walking with her son on her back, and she was panting when she spoke.

"What do you mean?" Tang Tang asked anxiously.

Lin Rantong sneered: "Tang Tang, if you can't see living people, can't find food and water, what do you think will happen to us women in the end?"

"No way? How dare they?" Tian Xin covered her mouth and asked, eyes full of disbelief.

"Little sister, don't be so naive, what are they afraid of?" Lin Rantong snorted coldly.

"Then what should we do, sister?" Tian Xin's eyes were wide open, tears were about to flow down.

Lin Rantong took Tang Tang's hand: "Tang Tang, the most important thing now is your saber, you must protect it, or—"

Tang Tang nodded vigorously, and helped Uncle Li walk forward slowly.

Day three.

"Mom, I'm thirsty." An Ran was on Lin Rantong's back all the time. He seemed to know that it was not easy for his mother to carry him, so he stayed there obediently and quietly. Ask for each other.

Lin Rantong felt a little pain in her heart. Her son is so obedient and sensible, and now he can't even satisfy his request to drink saliva.

"Rantong, here's water." Tang Tang handed the mineral water to Rantong.

"No, we only have less than one bottle of water left!" The bottle man said loudly.

"He's still a child, he won't be able to bear it." Tian Xin begged with a drawn out voice, her voice was soft, and her expression was as pitiful as a little white rabbit.

If it was changed to being begged by such a delicate and lovely girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, any man would soften, but at this time, it is obviously useless. The man with wine bottles firmly disagrees, and the man with glasses does not After making a sound, Guo Dalong smiled: "Why don't you three beauties let me kiss each other, and I will agree to give this kid a sip of water after a kiss."

Tian Xin clenched her lips. Tang Tang was about to scold someone, but Lin Rantong gently pulled her: "Don't talk about Tang Tang, An Ran can still persist." It's not that she doesn't feel sorry for her son, but if she agrees to let them kiss now OK, what about next time?People will make progress. She can sacrifice everything for her son, but she can't drag Tang Tang and Tian Xin. She has never been a great person, but she can't do it for herself. face worse outcomes.

Everyone sat down to rest again, Lin Rantong said to make it easier, and walked to the hiding place with An Ran on his back, Guo Dalong couldn't help but chuckled, causing Tang Tang to give him a hard look.

Lin Rantong gently put down An Ran, took out an apple from his bosom, and handed it to An Ran.An Ran happily took a big bite and handed it to Ran Tong. "What's the matter, don't you like to eat apples?" "Of course, if you take a bite, mom will take a bite too." An Ran's chubby little face was full of satisfaction, with dimples showing.Lin Rantong's eyes became moist all of a sudden, and he patted An Ran's head lightly: "Baby, Mom won't eat, you can take another bite, and Mom will put the rest for you, remember not to tell others?" An Ran pressed harder Nodding, he took another bite of the apple.

after an hour.

"It's not an option to go on like this. Let's do this, the three of us will go find food, and you women and Uncle Li will rest here." The man with glasses finally couldn't help speaking.

"Then I'll go too, I have a knife!" Tang Tang said.

For some reason, Tang Tang always felt that the bottle man's glance before leaving contained excitement.

When the man with glasses and the man with wine bottle reappeared in front of them 10 minutes later, Lin Rantong finally understood what was wrong.

"I've come back so soon, did you find anything to eat—" Tian Xin's voice stopped abruptly, and she looked at the wine bottle man who was holding on to her hands in horror, "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"What are you doing? I've been waiting for this day for a long time. If Guo Dalong didn't pretend to be confused every time he mentions this, I would have done you a long time ago!"

The wine bottle man picked up Tian Xin, carried him on his shoulders and walked towards the shelter. Tian Xin kept crying and begging, kicking his feet vigorously.

Lin Rantong pulled An Ran behind him, held the fruit knife tightly and looked at the man in glasses.

The man with glasses sneered, "It's just your knife that can still threaten people? Don't worry about it, you can serve me comfortably, or you can save your son's life." He approached as he spoke.

For the first time, Lin Rantong felt that women are so desperate and helpless sometimes, no matter how strong or rational you are, you can't make up for your weak physical strength.I really want to become stronger, to be able to protect myself and my son, protect the people I care about, and see my lover in peace.

Lin Rantong is not a character who just sits and waits for death. Seeing the man with glasses approaching slowly, she decisively swipes the fruit knife towards him. Unfortunately, the fruit knife is too short, and the man with glasses grabs his arm before he can swing it.

Rantong struggled hard, and stretched out his legs to kick the man with glasses under him. The man with glasses dodged for a while and was kicked to the thigh. He groaned, his face was full of ferocity, and he slapped Lin Rantong with a "slap".

"Wuuuu, hit mom, hit you! Hit you!" An Ran ran out at some point, and patted the man with glasses hard with her little hand,
The man with glasses kicked An Ran down and dragged Lin Rantong to the woods.
