Chapter 578: Zombie King VS Frail Heroine 36
Su Yan couldn’t help but steal a few more glances.
After what seemed like an eternity, she finally asked Zhao Ling,
"Do they have a child?"
She always overheard the woman calling out ’child’s father, child’s father.’
But why had she never actually seen their child?
Zhao Ling glanced at the couple and sneered,
"They had a child, but..."
Zhao Ling paused.
Su Yan, perplexed,
"But what?"
"But their child is already dead."
Su Yan fell silent.
Zhao Ling looked straight at Su Yan,
"Do you know how their child died?"
Su Yan shook her head, indicating she did not know.
"They pushed him into a pile of zombies with their own hands, letting the swarm of zombies tear him apart."
The colder Zhao Ling’s gaze became, the more she spoke.
Because she was the only one who knew about it.
This couple has been following them since the beginning of the apocalypse in X city.
Originally, Zhao Ling went to their rescue after hearing their cries for help.
As soon as she arrived, she saw the couple and their child standing on a large rock.
Since the zombie virus had just begun to spread and had not yet mutated,
a few zombies were attacking, slowly closing in on them.
All three of them were about to be devoured.
The child’s father gritted his teeth and shoved his child into the horde of zombies.
Accompanied by the child’s screams, he was bitten to death by the zombies.
The moment the child’s father pushed his son into the mass of zombies was when Zhao Ling arrived.
She witnessed the whole scene just then.
At that moment, Zhao Ling nearly lost control and almost killed those heartless parents on the spot.
Soon after, Boss Ye arrived swiftly and saved the couple.
He wondered why Zhao Ling did not rescue them sooner.
Zhao Ling never told anyone the reason.
Just thinking about it made her feel nauseated.
That day, when she saw Su Yan shooting the man, Zhao Ling almost laughed out loud with joy.
She had heard some things about Su Yan and Zhao Feng from Qin Qin before.
But, based on what Su Yan did,
Zhao Ling considered her a decent person.
At least Su Yan could immediately recognize the beast in human skin.
Although, in the apocalypse, murder is not a crime,
just thinking about that scene made her feel uncomfortable.
If only she had been a bit faster, perhaps she could have saved the child.
Perhaps that is the tender part of the human heart.
Children are the flowers of the future, and those whose conscience has not yet been extinguished instinctively want to protect them.
Seeing a child suffer, even if it’s not one’s own, still aches the heart.
Especially the child’s repetitive cries of despair.
It made Zhao Ling want to shove this pair of parents into a pile of zombies every time she saw them.
But she couldn’t do that.
Carrying a responsibility for protection, if she were to act on her impulses,
Others would likely see it with a chill to their hearts.
Boss Ye’s reputation would plummet.
It was Su Yan who did what Zhao Ling had always wanted to do.
Zhao Ling looked at Su Yan with growing fondness.
Where did this little cutie come from?
Quiet yet formidable.
Especially whenever Zhao Ling saw Su Yan taking her time to do things seriously,
Zhao Ling couldn’t help but want to pinch Su Yan’s cheeks.
Su Yan turned her head, looking towards the parents.
She watched them intently for a long time.
The child’s father, although he averted his gaze, was still paying attention to Su Yan out of the corner of his eye.
Su Yan had shot through his ear, and he hated this woman to the core.
He didn’t know what Zhao Ling had told her,
but Su Yan’s gaze always made his spine chill.
