Apocalypse Arrival - chapter 235

“I chatted with them all afternoon. Xu Haoguang is not a fool. It was not that he didn’t come to Rongcheng Base because he didn’t like the Church’s behavior. Now they plan to stay here. These people have strength and their minds are still clear. After this battle, a large number of crystal cores and bodies have been collected. It can also be regarded as rich” Chu Qianxun slowly cleaned up the crystal cores on the bed, and said, “I only hope they can suppress Shennai and make this base normal.”

“Actually, I have always wanted to say,” Ye Peitian suddenly interrupted Chu Qianxun’s words, “Shennai wants me.”

“So what?” Chu Qianxun stretched out her hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, “Are you asking me to hand over my man to others?”

Ye Peitian’s face was reddened by these words, and the next words could not be said.

Chu Qianxun turned on the bed and laid sideways next to him, with one hand supporting her chin, and the other finger hooked Ye Peitian’s slightly curled hair around.

“It’s because I’m not capable enough, I can’t protect you every time, and always hurt you, so that you have the opportunity to think about it and say such things.”

Ye Peitian argued, “I, I am the man, I should protect you.”

“You have been protecting me, Peitian,” Chu Qianxun looked at the man lying beside her. He was strong and cute, and he didn’t even know it. 

“You have protected me so well all the time. Thanks to you, I can live the way I am now.”

She thought that Ye Peitian might not understand what she meant.

Only she knew in her heart that if she hadn’t met such lovely people as Gao Yan, Jiang Xiaojie and Yan Xue all the way, if it weren’t for the man in front of her, no matter how strong she became, she would still be the indifferent and lonely person in her previous life.

Chu Qianxun carefully avoided Ye Peitian’s wound, reached out her hand to support the back of his neck, lowered her head and kissed his lips.

“Thank you for everything you have done for me. You didn’t abandon me when you were in danger, and I will not let go of your hand because of anything.”

There was a bucket outside the door that was thrown into the well with a grunt.

The neighbor’s vegetables were poured into the frying pan, and the tempting aroma filled the air.

The peddler collecting scraps passed in through the courtyard door by tapping on the metal, and the shouting gradually faded away, “Collect waste, collect old paper and scrap metal, collect any demons of the same rank…”

Amidst the murmur of life, in a room with closed door and window, a girl lowered her head to kiss her blushing lover.

She kissed meticulously and lingeringly, relaxing her tight nerves along the way, spending her good time doing what she wanted to do most, and staying with the person she wanted to accompany the most.

Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan went to the noisy market.

“Qianxun, I have always wanted to ask you, is your skin getting better recently?” Gao Yan handed a large bag of purchased items to Chu Qianxun’s hands, looking at her white palms in puzzlement, “You either exercise or fight demons all day, why do you recover so quickly without leaving any scars?”

Chu Qianxun coughed, “Stop talking nonsense, have you bought everything?”

“Are we really going to leave? I’m a little bit reluctant,” Gao Yan had plenty of money, so chose things all the way.

In just a few days, the market there seems to have undergone a subtle change.

There were a lot of people shouting slogans along the way, the number of clerics distributing leaflets was faint, and the trade of crystal cores with demons’ bodies had become more frequent. Freshly cut demons were placed on the stalls, and the arms of the sellers were bandaged. He triumphantly proclaimed how he formed a team in the guild, went to the wild to fight the enemy bravely, and was assigned these materials for making armor.

Seeing the low-level demons, many pedestrians came and showed heartfelt expressions.

After all, for most people, no amount of power was as effective as a piece of bread when they were hungry.

Chu Qianxun wandered around and only picked a multi-purpose saber, both of which were carried by Gao Yan.

“Why do you buy so many things? You can’t take it with you.”

“I’ll be giving it away as a goodbye to a few friends before leaving,” Gao Yan, who was good at sociability and possessed healing powers, had a good popularity no matter where she was.

With a smile on Gao Yan’s beautiful face, she was shining, and gently bent down to give money to a child who was setting up a stall.

Chu Qianxun from the previous life also often accompanied her to the market.

At that time, Gao Yan was a notoriously mean and acrid person. They compared their skills with each other. She was both grumpy and venomous. Apart from Chu Qianxun, a half-hearted friend, she had basically no female friends.

“Look over there, isn’t that Xiao Lu?”

Gao Yan pointed to a place not far away, where shacks made of waste paper and shabby curtains were densely built.

Xiao Lu was surrounded by a group of people in rags, with a bulging bag under his feet.

A thin old woman with gray hair and shabby clothes, pushed away the food he brought, “Take it back, you take it back and eat it yourself. Xiao Lu, how can we still take your things? You poor child, look at what you have become.”

“Xiao Lu, you take the things back. At the beginning, you and Xiao Yuan desperately blocked the demons, but us adults didn’t care about you and ran away by ourselves. Now how can we still take your things?”

The few surrounding Xiao Lu were all villagers who had escaped from Lujia.

They fumbled and took out a few black buns from their pockets that were so dark, and squeezed them into Xiao Li’s hands.
