Chapter 259: Chapter 103: Arrogant CEO-like Embrace... Are You Okay?_4

Gu Hang envisioned the future, saying, "I’m thinking of the storefronts on the ground floor of our apartment building. On the second-story rooftop of the shop, we could construct an iron passageway connecting to the garden complex. Of course, this isn’t necessary for now since there aren’t that many survivors in our community and there are still plenty of vacant houses. But someday, if the number of survivors increases significantly, we can make it happen."

Lin Fan looked at Gu Hang with a smile. Brother Hang was quite a visionary, which was impressive.

"Yeah, Brother Hang, keep it up."

Gu Hang said, "Humans survive various calamities and rebuild civilization often through unity and intellect. I truly hope this disaster ends soon."

"There will come a day when it ends."

Lin Fan was very firm in his belief.

In the community.

Everyone was doing what they wanted.

Some were reading books.

Some were playing with children.

Others were simply daydreaming.

On the rooftop, Qi Sheng sat cross-legged on the ground, staring into the distance, deeply immersed. The desolation of Yellow City had a significant impact on his heart. The apocalypse had taken his wife and left his child motherless.

Sometimes, he liked to sit quietly on the rooftop, gazing into the distance, not wanting to be disturbed, just reminiscing alone. If it weren’t for his young child, he felt he might not have been able to persevere in such an apocalyptic world.

Footsteps approached.

Qi Sheng looked at Lin Fan and smiled, "Little Fan, what brings you here?"

Lin Fan said, "Qi Bro, just checking what you were up to."

"Nothing much, just daydreaming," Qi Sheng was content with the current environment, though sometimes he thought back to the past, feeling a bit melancholic as he daydreamed alone, not wanting to share these feelings with others.

During this time, Lin Fan had come to know that Qi Sheng was a low-key person, not very talkative, usually observing and listening from the sidelines when something was happening.

Knowing Qi Sheng’s ordeals, his family of four had watched his wife turn into a zombie right before his eyes without warning— a heartbreak unimaginable to anyone.

Lin Fan sat next to Qi Sheng and said, "Qi Bro, some things have passed and can’t be reversed; we can only cherish what and who is present."

Qi Sheng nodded, understanding such logic.

"Little Fan."

"Yes?"

"How wonderful it would be if we could turn back time."

"Turning back time, huh?"

Lin Fan looked up at the sky. If time could be reversed, Yellow City would return to its once bustling state, how beautiful and wonderful that scene would be. All those who lost their loved ones would no longer suffer, no longer feel sad and could enjoy a happy life with their families, all smiles.

Qi Sheng sighed, "No, even if time could be reversed it would be pointless, the apocalypse would still happen, and we would just relive the pain of losing loved ones once again."

Lin Fan said, "But if we could find the root cause of the apocalypse and eliminate it, then there wouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Hearing this.

Qi Sheng’s expression froze momentarily, then he slapped Lin Fan on the shoulder, laughing, "Little Fan, I think our conversation is getting more and more mystical. How could time possibly rewind? That’s impossible."

Speaking, speaking, Qi Sheng’s tone became somewhat despondent yet seemed to hold a kind of anticipation, "If time could be reversed, even if it cost me my life, I would be willing."

Lin Fan gazed into the distance, murmuring to himself, "I would be willing too."

No one wants to see the apocalypse arrive.

It’s an unimaginable disaster for any survivor.

Those turned into zombies had no choice, as they suddenly became such. If there was a choice, no one would want to become a zombie.

Night came.

Lin Fan, ready to sleep, saw an incoming call on the satellite phone.

He answered.

"Hello," Lin Fan said softly.

"Hello, Brother Lin, this is Tang Jiayu."

"Oh, Miss Tang, is there something wrong?"

The number of survivors on Tang Island wasn’t small; the area was beautifully scenic and surrounded by water, quite safe as long as the drifting zombies on the lake surface were monitored.

Tang Jiayu, "Nothing much, just wanted to ask if you have gone to sleep?"

"I have."

Tang Jiayu: ...

Both sides fell silent.

Tang Jiayu didn’t speak, and Lin Fan didn’t either.

He had already answered; it was now up to Miss Tang to respond if the conversation were to continue.

Tang Jiayu: "I also just lay down on the bed."

Lin Fan: "Then, good night."

"Good night."

He hung up the phone.

Lin Fan looked at the satellite phone, a smile forming on his face; people were still quite decent, at least some maintained the courtesy to say good night.

As he straightened the blanket over Mengmeng, he too lay down, looking at the ceiling, counting sheep, one, two... the soft sound of his breath rhythmically rose and fell in the quiet room.

Meanwhile, at the estate.

Tang Jiayu lay on the bed, showing her long legs, with a facial mask on. She felt that the conversation just now was a failure.

As for why she initiated the chat.

According to Tang Jiayu’s thoughts, there were two reasons.

The first was that with the apocalypse, the world’s population had drastically decreased. Being the only child of the Tang family, it was essential to carry on the lineage, and during peaceful times, there were hardly any appealing options, let alone in the apocalypse. It was right to take initiative when she met someone.

The second reason was Lin Fan’s strength. It wasn’t that she, Tang Jiayu, was materialistic, but people are inherently practical. For example, men always say they want a wise woman but often choose based on social status and personal life. As long as a woman is decent in these areas, they are liked by men and considered for marriage, regardless of whether they are truly wise.
