I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

Chapter 1278 - 303: Let’s Go, Head Down, and Embrace a New Future

"Will I survive?"

Wu Yong stood in the corridor, talking to himself. Sun Neng’s short words seemed to inject an endless power into him, filling him with hope for the future.

He clenched his fists, his expression firm.

"I will survive."

Inside the room.

"Why aren’t you eating anything?" Sun Neng noticed the snacks on the bed weren’t opened.

Han Xiaoxiao said, "I’m afraid I’ll eat it all."

Sun Neng chuckled, "Don’t worry, eat. There will be food; it’s nothing to worry about."

"Why don’t we tell them that we have a satellite phone and can contact Sunshine Shelter in Huangshi?" Han Xiaoxiao wasn’t a child; she knew Sunshine Shelter in Huangshi was the safest and the people there were very capable.

Sun Neng said, "Xiaoxiao, some things don’t need to be rushed. How do you think the people here are?"

Han Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "Xiaoxiao thinks they are quite nice."

"Xiaoxiao, some things can’t be seen on the surface. The changes here are sometimes imperceptible, even to oneself. Look carefully, think carefully. In these brief days, everyone’s inner spirit has already changed." Sun Neng knew Xiaoxiao’s thoughts had changed but not significantly. The apocalypse is the most transformative scene for the human spirit, although he protected Xiaoxiao well, preventing her from experiencing those.

"Oh..."

Han Xiaoxiao nodded, half-understanding.

...

Morning.

"Ah, where’s the food?"

Wu Yong woke up, wanted to grab some food to fill his stomach but dared not eat too much; most of the food should be left for Lili. For him, his hope was to keep his girlfriend alive.

But he didn’t feel any food, only empty bags.

Instantly, Wu Yong felt his scalp tingle and his whole body go cold. The consequences of having no food were obvious without needing to think.

"Lili, wake up, something happened." Wu Yong hurriedly pushed the sleeping Lili.

Lili, who wasn’t actually asleep, pretended to open her eyes, "What’s wrong?"

"The food is gone."

When Lili heard this, sleep faded completely, she sat up sharply, bowed her head, picking at her fingers, "Ah Yong... I..."

"Ah?" Wu Yong saw Lili’s demeanor, had a hunch, seemed to know some possibilities, yet still wanted Lili to say them herself.

Lili, with a teary voice, said, "Ah Yong, after you fell asleep last night, I was really scared and very hungry, so I couldn’t help but eat all the food. Just scold or hit me, I know I was wrong."

Wu Yong: ...

He blinked in disbelief and was really unexpected to face this situation.

He very much wanted to say to Lili, "How could you do this, eating all the food? What will we do in the future?" But he couldn’t say it aloud, only sighed helplessly.

What’s done is done, saying anything now is pointless.

Lili knew Wu Yong wouldn’t say anything to her, bowed her head, her mouth slightly curled into a smug smile; she had already transferred the food to Gao Chuan’s place.

"Ah Yong, your relationship with Sun Neng is so good; could you borrow a bit of food from him?"

Wu Yong, shocked, said, "Lili, what are you talking about? Sun Neng has as much food as we do. If I borrow food, what would happen to them?"

He would never do such a thing.

"But we..."

"Don’t say it, I can’t do that."

"Alright."

Gu Li saw Wu Yong’s firm attitude and didn’t say much, but inside she was increasingly dissatisfied with Wu Yong.

At this moment.

Liu Na ate a simple piece of biscuit, allowing some nutrients in her stomach, then went to the living room. The empty living room had no one.

She opened a gap in the window and looked outside.

"Hoho"

"Hoho"

The hideous, terrifying zombies were still wandering outside; the zombie horde hadn’t dispersed.

"Fourth day."

In her view, the situation on-site felt like years passing by. What worried her most was the psychological state of the few companions around her; under such torment, anything could happen.

As she pondered these.

Gao Chuan came out, his eyes a bit dark-ringed. He acted as if he hadn’t seen Liu Na. He walked to the window, finding zombies hadn’t dispersed, and suddenly slammed the wall with his hands, breathing growing urgent.

"Food’s almost gone; we’re all going to die."

"All going to die."

Babbling like mad.

Then he turned and went towards the room.

Liu Na quietly watched, her heart more worried; this situation was really bad, but she didn’t know what to say.

After Gao Chuan left, Sun Neng brought Han Xiaoxiao and came out.

"Good morning." Sun Neng greeted Liu Na, displaying a relaxed demeanor.

Liu Na looked at Sun Neng, "Why are you so calm?"

Sun Neng said, "What good does it do to be panicked? Despair?"

"You’re right; despondency isn’t right."

"You know about him and Gu Li’s situation, right?" Sun Neng believed Gu Li’s mindset was the most stable here, at least until now, no big change.

Liu Na was silent, then said, "I do."

"You don’t want to speak out, afraid of affecting team unity, especially at such a critical moment, right?"

"Yes."

"What if I say Gu Li already transferred their food to Gao Chuan, how would you think of it?"

Upon Sun Neng speaking this matter.

Liu Na’s expression suddenly changed, wasn’t that to say Gao Chuan’s earlier performance was all fake? His purpose was to deceive everyone, claiming he was out of food, even his spirit had changed.
