Chapter 463: (Do not buy, will fix 11/1/23)
As the middle-aged man and the young woman both walked over to check, they were a little surprised to see the small statue bleeding.
"What the... Everyone, gather as much stuff as you can. We're leaving immediately."
The older woman and the young man immediately started running to the different shelves, and the young woman did the same.
Meanwhile, the old man headed straight to the car, starting up the engine before the other three came back with a handful of food.
"Wait, there's still a few packs of ramen inside! " the young man yelled as the other two women had already jumped into the car.
"Hurry!"
As the young man ran back into the store and beelined straight for the five packs of ramen, a gun suddenly pointed right at his head.
"Don't move. You don't want to test if the gun in my hand is real or fake."
The young man quickly raised both of his hands into the air, letting the ramen fall onto the floor.
"Kate, hold him here. I'll go deal with the other three outside."
As Xiaoyun ran out of the store, Kate started examining the young man in her hands.
From the slight belly fat to his double chin, it was clear he was nowhere near malnourished at all.
"M-Miss, can I ask what did we do wrong? Is it because of the food? We can give it back to you guys."
The young man nervously offered as his leg started to shake a little from having a gun pointed at his head.
"I don't care about the food. Just stay quiet before I tell you to talk."
The store fell into silence until a minute later, when Xiaoyun returned with all three of them raising their hands.
With a rifle in hand, it was clear what Xiaoyun did to force them to get down from their car.
"Mom! Dad!"
"Be quiet," Kate yelled as she interrupted them from attempting to talk to each other.
"Mister, can I offend you or anything?" The middle-aged man calmly asked as he looked over to Xiaoyun.
"I just want you all to answer a few questions, and I'll let you guys go."
All four of them immediately nodded as Xiaoyun raised his rifle towards them again.
"First, where are you guys from?"
"We're born and raised in Dongguan." The middle-aged man replied.
"All four of you?" Xiaoyun questioned as he looked at the other three.
Seeing them nodding, Xiaoyun finally lowered his rifle as he signaled Kate to tie them up instead.
After all four of them were tied up, Xiaoyun finally continued with his questioning.
"If I hear any lies in the next part, you guys can say goodbye to each other."
All four of them immediately nodded again, with the young woman seemingly on the verge of crying.
"Second question, what's the relationship between the four of you? Don't try to bullshit me."
After a short silence, the middle-aged woman spoke up this time.
"She's his niece, and he's my nephew... And me and him are wife and husband."
As Xiaoyun remained silent, thinking of the next question to ask, he suddenly noticed the two younger adults started to look a little nervous.
"You know, I hate it when people break their end of promises... I gave you guys the chance, but you spit onto my face."
With the rifle raised once again, the calmness of the middle-aged man finally broke into panic alongside the other three.
"W-Wait, m-me and her are also wife and husband." The young man quickly replied.
"Ah, you could have said that earlier... But I can still feel all four of you are hiding the truth."
As Xiaoyun raised his rifle against the middle-aged woman, he could feel the sheer anger on the young man's face.
"Since you guys just don't want to be honest, I guess you guys can say goodbye to her——"
"Wait, I-I can say the truth. I swear on my honor and my ancestor that I would not lie."
Xiaoyun lowered his rifle and turned over to the middle-aged man, staring at him in silence before taking a step back.
"Sure, tell me the truth, and maybe I'll change my mind."
"Me and her are siblings... And they are our kids."
The answer shocked both Xiaoyun and Kate as they couldn't believe something that far-fetched.
But at the same time, they could both tell the middle-aged man wasn't lying a single bit.
"Fulfilling your fantasy in the apocalypse, huh? But the outbreak had only gone on for two years——"
"I got her pregnant when we were young, and it was before the outbreak," the middle-aged man clarified.
"That's... more shocking than I expected. But I'm not here to judge... How about you two?"
As Xiaoyun turned his attention over to the two young adults, they both looked away as they remained silent.
"Let me guess... They are also husband and wife?" Xiaoyun asked as he turned back to the middle-aged man.
After a long hesitation, the middle-aged man nodded.
"A full-blown incest family. Now the only thing that is missing is you four fucking each other."
As soon as Xiaoyun mentioned it out loud, all four of their faces turned a little pale as if he guessed it right.
"You know what, on the second thought. I don't want to hear about that... Ahem, third question.
Where have you all been? Tell me about your journey from beginning to the end and all the way to here."
After a short silence, the middle-aged man spoke up this time.
"We are actually both raised in an orphan... Our parents dumped us in the orphanage.
We depended on each other for our entire childhood, until one day we both got a little drunk——"
"I didn't mean to go that far back. I only wanted to know from the start of the outbreak to now."
Xiaoyun interrupted, ruining Kate's mood as she wanted to hear the full story from them.
"Oh, um, when the outbreak happened, all four of us were at home... sharing each other——"
"Cut those parts out. I don't want to hear it... How about you answer this one?"
Xiaoyun interrupted again as he started to regret pressuring them to say the truth for no reason.
"Me?" The middle-aged woman asked.
"Yes, you. Answer the question that I just asked."
After a short silence, the middle-aged woman finally spoke up again.
"We stayed home for almost the first months of the outbreak... Then we decided to go out to look for food.
After doing that for a month, we encountered a group of survivors that had been gathering all kinds of people.
We eventually chose to join, and it soon became a relatively big group, expanding almost throughout Dongguan's rule.
Everything was fine until the second year of the outbreak.
The leader suddenly decided to settle down and try to clear the zombies instead of continuing the hit-and-run strategy.
With more and more people dying under him, we decided to quit the group before it was too late.
That's when we took this car away and drove off together. Ever since January, we have been constantly driving around."
"Does that survival groups still exist? If so, how many people are still in it?"
"The last time we drove by, their base had completely collapsed... And at the peak, we have around five thousand people."
"I see... How about the mutant situation? Are there any crazy ones that you guys have seen?"
"Um, there's one that can climb the flat wall, ones that jump super high, one that is almost unkillable, and one that is camouflaged."
"What's the camouflaged one?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"It's like they can blend in with the environment near them... If the wall behind them is white, they will turn into a white zombie."
"Huh... That wasn't on the report." Xiaoyun murmured as he thought back to Yiming's report.
"Okay, one last question before I let you all go... If you guys get the chance never to do any of that stuff, would you take it?"
"I... I wouldn't. I love my husband and my kids." The middle-aged woman replied first.
"M-Me too. I like mom and sister a lot." The young man replied next.
"I don't mind the two of them..." The younger woman murmured.
The middle-aged man remained silent, but he nodded in agreement alongside the young man.
"Okay, that's all I want from you guys... Wait, one last thing, have you guys seen that kind of statue before?"
Xiaoyun asked as he pointed toward the convenience store's room where the statue he shot earlier was at.
"No, this is the first time we have seen it." The young man replied.
"I see... Thank you for your cooperation——Shit! Get down!"
As Xiaoyun dragged Kate down onto the floor, the other four instinctively got down onto the floor.
Within seconds, all of the windows shattered into pieces, and a giant green goo flew right into the wall.
"Holy shit!"
